New widow

"You have to live your life to know what it is like." Su Qiao comforted Zhou Le, and Zhou Le leaned on Su Qiao's shoulder: "I know, I know everything, I'm just very tired, very tired."

Why are there things like this and that? Why? Zhou Le is full of questions, but Zhou Le knows that there are no answers to his questions.

"Ms. Kuang." Zhou Le called Su Qiao again, and Su Qiao responded slightly. Zhou Le raised his head and looked at Su Qiao: "I don't care about status or reputation. What I get is freedom. What about what I paid for."

"You are different from me." Su Qiao looked at Zhou Le: "You have to know that I am a widow."

"I know." Zhou Le only said these three words, and then Su Qiao said: "I am a widow. As long as my husband's family is willing, I can come out naturally without blocking it. But you are different. You are an unmarried daughter. If you really go out and say you won't get married, it will cause big waves."

Zhou Le was kidnapped yesterday. Although he tried his best to hide it, someone would always know that if Zhou Le said he would not marry at this time, the only thing waiting for Zhou Le besides death would be becoming a monk.

"Maybe you don't want to marry Su Tongpan right now, but it's your best choice." Su Qiao's words made Zhou Le lower his eyes, and then Zhou Le smiled: "Yes, as long as I get married, everyone will be happy. , but why is everyone happy but I’m not happy?”

Su Qiao couldn't say anything more, she just held Zhou Le's shoulders: "You are a child after all." A child? Zhou Le wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. She could only hug Su Qiao: "I am so tired. I have been scheming and scheming to give myself a good marriage. But can this good marriage really be good?"

"Madam!" Xiao Song

Sister's voice came: "Su Tongpuan is here."

"You can only say these words to me, but you must not say them when you get married." Su Qiao raised Zhou Le's face and warned softly.

It's so funny, they are obviously husband and wife, the closest people in the world, but they can't say many words. Zhou Le hummed, Suqiao patted Zhou Le's hand, asked Zhou Le's maid to come in to serve him, and then walked out.

Su Du came alone this time. When he saw Su Qiao coming out, Su Du saluted Su Qiao and said, "There are still some details about what happened yesterday, so I have to ask."

"Su Tongpan." Su Qiao rarely spoke in such a serious tone. Su Du looked at Su Qiao and said, "Mrs. Kuang, do you have any advice?"

"The person in the house is your wife who will be visiting you in a few days. She was so frightened yesterday. You should comfort her instead of coming to ask for some details at this time."

There was anger in Su Qiao's words. Su Du looked at Su Qiao and said, "Yes, what Madam Kuang said is that I was impatient about this matter, and I only came here on orders."

"You came here under orders, and it is only natural that you want to complete what you have done." After Su Qiao said this, Su Du thought that Su Qiao was going to reprimand himself in the next sentence. Sure enough, Su Qiao changed the subject. : "But you also have to think about it. She came all the way just to marry you, but she was so frightened because of you. You should comfort her carefully."

"Yes, yes!" Su Du responded repeatedly, and Su Qiao looked at Su Du: "You are an official of the imperial court, so official duties are of course important, but don't forget, don't act like an official when it comes to your wife and children. Come."

Zhou Le leaned against the window and listened to the conversation between Su Du and Su Qiao.

Le knew that Su Qiao was speaking for herself, but there was not much joy on Zhou Le's face. Grandma Li raised the curtain and walked in. When she saw Zhou Le like this, she smiled and said, "Have you finished speaking?"

Zhou Le just hummed, and Grandma Li sat next to Zhou Le: "My girl, don't think you're too talkative, Grandma, it's all for you."

"I know." Zhou Le felt extremely irritable after listening to Grandma Li's words. Everyone is happy, but I am not happy. What is even more ridiculous is that I have to pretend to be happy and thank everyone for finding such a good marriage for me.

Su Qiao had already walked in, and when she saw Aunt Li inside, Su Qiao smiled and said, "Su Tongpan will be very good to you girls in the future."

"Our girl is worth it." Nanny Li breathed a sigh of relief and naturally started to joke. Zhou Le just smiled faintly and said that she was worth it. If it were before, Zhou Le would be very happy, but now, Zhou Le doesn't have much joy. After working hard to achieve such a status, one should be content and happy, but if a person has to live such a long life, when can he truly be happy?

Although some of the Shangshu Mansion was burned down, when Zhou Le was brought back the next day, there was no smell of smoke. Naturally, the original yard could not be lived in. The yard next to it had been decorated. Grandma Su took the Zhou Le smiled and said, "It's true, everything has caught up. Who would have thought that in broad daylight, someone would come to Shangshu's Mansion to snatch things and set fire to it."

It seems that this is the rhetoric they came up with to talk to the outside world, saying that in broad daylight, someone came to Shangshu's Mansion to grab things and set fire to them.

week

With a happy hum, Grandma Su patted Zhou Le's hand: "Fortunately, you were only a little frightened. After the wedding is over, I will take the gift and go to thank Madam Kuang."

"So, the wedding date remains unchanged?" Zhou Le asked Grandma Su. Grandma Su looked at her in surprise: "This date has been decided a long time ago. Not only here, but also in the capital, our two families have also discussed it. That day We’re going to have a banquet to treat guests.”

Even if the bride and groom are not here, they can still hold a banquet and treat the guests. Zhou Le hummed. Grandma Su looked at Zhou Le's face and urged her to rest: "Tomorrow, we have to hang our heads. It's a wedding. You’re very tired, you’d better have a good sleep.”

It seems that what Zhou Le wants to say can never be said out loud. Someone will always make the decision for him, so he just needs to stay calm and listen.

Zhou Leying returned to his room. Some of Zhou Le's things had been burned in the fire, and some of the remaining things could not be used. They were rearranged by the housekeeper of the Shangshu Mansion. Zhou Le looked at the unfamiliar bed tents and quilts. Just stand there.

"Girl, I know you always choose a table." Nanny Li said and walked up behind Zhou Le: "But I only sleep for these two days. After we get married, many of the things you use there are from you in the capital. use."

He should be satisfied, Zhou Le told himself in his heart, but why was he still lingering there, wanting to say something but not daring to say it? Zhou Le sat there, and the laughter of Song Zhen and the others came to his ears again. Their laughter would definitely be called unruly by grandma, but it seems that it is quite tiring to follow the rules all the time.

Zhou Le sat there, like a wooden stake. Mother Li walked over to Zhou Le.

Le said mysteriously, "Girl, there are some good things here. Take a look first."
