Su Rong felt unwell ever since he sent Xiao Heng away. He returned to Old Lady Su's Kangping Garden with his head hung, and looked at everyone with a look of deep bitterness and hatred.
Since his leg healed, he has long since regained his former ease and composure, always calm and in high spirits. He is rarely seen like this, so much so that even Old Lady Su couldn't help but ask him, "What's wrong? Did something happen again?"
It's no wonder that Old Mrs. Su always thinks the worst of everything. The main reason is that it's as if a hornet's nest has been disturbed at home. The hornets that come to cause trouble keep coming one after another, with only the length of their rest periods being different. In any case, the situation never calms down.
Su Rong shook his head, lowered his brows and concentrated his eyes. Anyone could see that he was worried.
Su Xingyi took the opportunity to take a rest after serving the old lady. She turned around and walked out with Su Rong and asked him, "What's wrong? Don't you like the layout of the house? Or is there something that is not satisfactory?"
My younger brother had a very rough life over the years, and it was not easy for him to meet someone he liked. Su Xingyi could only hope for the best for them and was afraid that they would have some rifts before they got married.
"No." Su Rong's voice was muffled and a little irritable: "It's another matter, which is related to His Highness."
Your Highness? There is only one Your Highness coming to our house today.
Su Xingyi seemed to be thinking about something, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Your Highness, what is there that is worthy of your frown? You usually discuss things before doing anything, and he will not use his status to pressure others."
"If he uses his status to pressure others in this matter, then I will dare to be disrespectful!" Su Rong was so angry.
Su Xingyi was even more confused: "What's the matter that requires such a loud cry for war? His Highness wants your seal?"
Su Rong had a hobby of collecting seals since he was a child, and he has many treasures in his hands. Usually he is willing to negotiate everything, but once his seals are involved, things become more difficult.
"It would be better if it was a seal." Su Rong snorted, "He said he wanted to ask Yaoyao to marry him."
ah
Su Xingyi was stunned. She was so shocked that she couldn't react for a moment.
After she realized what was going on, she said with a sigh of enlightenment, "No wonder, I thought His Highness was too approachable. It doesn't match his reputation when he was in the Imperial Guard."
It turns out that his mind is on Su Yao.
She understood why Su Rong was so angry, so she shook her head and asked Su Rong: "What did you say?"
"Of course I said no!" Su Rong said confidently, "Other things can be discussed, but this is not! How can Yaoyao be suitable to enter the palace?"
These are no longer issues of Xin Ji's skills, but Su Rong has always hoped that Su Yao could live an easier life. If she really entered the palace and became the Emperor's eldest grandson's consort, how could her life be easy
There is no need to mention so many royal rules. First of all, Xiao Heng’s identity is extraordinary.
Back then, Crown Prince Xiao Pei was able to stir up trouble in the court just because he only had a Crown Princess. However, in the end, the Crown Princess did not have a good ending.
What about now
Su Xingyi noticed Su Rong's overly excited mood. She couldn't help but speak to comfort Su Rong a few words before she said softly, "Don't be so excited. Now according to what you said, His Highness only said a few words, revealing that he has this intention, but he hasn't said whether he really means it or not. He hasn't said anything yet, so why bother yourself and make such a big fuss, as if the palace has already issued an order?"
After hearing what his sister said, Su Rong calmed down for a short time, and finally let out a sigh of relief: "I should have thought of it earlier. His Highness is too obedient to Yaoyao. No matter what it is, as long as it is a suggestion, he will listen to it quickly without even thinking too much. Now that I think about it, maybe His Highness has already been attracted to Yaoyao."
Su Rong himself had no opinion about Xiao Heng. He and Xiao Heng had a good relationship and they discussed everything.
But no matter how good their relationship was, it couldn't be like this. He still regarded Xiao Heng as an ally, but Xiao Heng wanted to secretly be his brother-in-law.
How can this be possible?!
He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. Su Xingyi thought her brother's obsession was cute. She said, "You didn't even ask Xiaoyao what she thought, but you made the decision for her in private? What if Xiaoyao likes His Highness?"
Su Rong pursed her lips, opened her eyes wide to hold back the headache, and looked up at Su Xingyi: "How can this be possible? Yaoyao doesn't know what life will be like after getting married."
If one marries into an ordinary family, there are still seven reasons for divorce, as well as the considerations of continuing the family line and inheriting the incense, let alone becoming an imperial concubine
If she married Xiao Heng, not to mention that she would have to tolerate his harem, if she gave birth to girls in succession, she would probably be criticized by the censors for affecting the royal family's incense.
Su Rong felt a headache just thinking about it. At this moment, brothers were no longer a big deal. What was more important was his sister's future life.
She didn't want Su Yaode to live in fear for the rest of his life.
Even if that person is Su Rong, it won’t work.
Seeing her brother so serious, Su Xingyi quickly understood what he meant. She smiled and patted his shoulder with some emotion: "Yes, you should consider that life is not just about you liking me and me liking you. What's more important is the families of both parties."
Xiao Heng has the royal family behind him, so naturally he has responsibilities and pressures.
Marrying him would not be easy at all.
After understanding her brother's intentions, Su Xingyi gave him some suggestions and said, "In fact, the wife also understands what Your Highness means, but you can see her reaction. She obviously doesn't want to expose this matter. In my opinion, it's because of Yaoyao. Yaoyao may be sensitive to other things, but she may not understand such things. The wife is afraid that Yaoyao may not have this idea at first, but will have this idea after being told too many times, so she tries her best to make a big thing a small thing. If you follow my advice, if you really care about Yaoyao, you might as well do the same."
Pretend nothing happened.
If Xiao Heng still perseveres in the future, or if the fate between the two of them has really arrived, it is not something that can be stopped by human power, and there is nothing to say.
If they both find another destination in the future, it is fate. Since they have not invested too deep feelings in each other, they will not be too sad.
Su Rong seemed to be thinking about something.
As for Su Yao herself, she really didn't take it seriously. In fact, the greatest skill she had learned was to try to think about things as simply as possible, and this matter was no exception.
For her, Mrs. He's comment that she was overthinking was actually the best outcome. (To be continued)
