New widow

"What he wants is to be an official safely." Su Qiao said softly, and Song Zhen seemed to have heard something that she should not listen to, and shouted loudly: "Aunt Kuang."

"What if he can't be an official?" Su Qiao asked back. Song Zhen blinked: "But, Aunt Kuang, others will also say bad things about you."

"It just means that I am unfilial." Su Qiao smiled: "But what do I want to do with my reputation of filial piety? My mother, she will never live again."

Song Zhen couldn't help but hold Su Qiao's hand: "Then, Aunt Kuang, what do you want to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Let me think about it slowly." Su Qiao only replied, and Song Zhen hummed. Su Qiao patted Song Zhen's hand gently: "Look, in this world, as long as a person wants to Interests inevitably lead to calculations and thinking about how to get more, but many times, when you want to get more, what you lose in the end may be what you can’t afford to lose the most.”

Song Zhen nodded and Su Qiao stood up: "Let's go, there are other things to do."

"Aunt Kuang." Song Zhen called Suqiao again. Suqiao looked back at Song Zhen, and Song Zhen smiled lightly: "No matter what you want to do, I will follow you."

"You kid, you are such a..." Su Qiao didn't know what to say to Song Zhen. Song Zhen held Su Qiao's arm affectionately: "I know that Aunt Kuang is really doing it for my own good, not for some status. What a reputation.”

The difference between being sincerely nice to someone and pretending to be nice to someone can be seen at a glance. Suqiao patted Song Zhen, no matter what, it was great to have such a good child like Song Zhen.

"Girl, Lord Kuang came here just now and left again."

Aunt Li stayed at the door and watched for a long time. After Master Kuang left, Aunt Li walked to Zhou Le and spoke to her softly.

"What do we, the guests, have to ask about the matter between their father and daughter?" Zhou Le closed his eyes, looking unwilling to listen. Aunt Li was anxious and happy: "Girl, you can't say that. You see, if the relationship between father and daughter is good, then Mrs. Kuang will have an extra layer of protection. If the relationship is not good..."

"Mammy, that's what you said." Zhou Le opened his eyes and looked at Grandma Li: "If the relationship is so good, why would you marry your 20-year-old daughter to a British father-in-law who is in his 50s?"

Even if the British Duke is a first-class nobleman, he is over 50 years old, and is older than Mr. Kuang. Zhou Le knows that ordinary people will sell their daughters to wealthy families as concubines, and there are many young people among them. Give people Rui. For example, Aunt Du and Wang Shangshu are examples. Wang Shangshu is older than Aunt Du's grandfather.

But Suqiao was an official's daughter after all. Even if she had been married once, if she wanted to marry again, she would be able to find a candidate in her thirties. Mr. Kuang married his daughter to the British father-in-law. Zhou Le didn't believe it if he said he loved his daughter.

There was a bit of hesitation on Nanny Li's face, and then she muttered: "But, what kind of glory and wealth is that?"

"If I were to be married to someone like the British father-in-law, would you cry for me?" Zhou Le asked back, and Grandma Li stopped talking. If Zhou Le married a man in his 50s, of course Grandma Li would The first one was not happy. Naturally, the granddaughter of the elder Ge was not worthy of such a marriage.

"But Mr. Su is only twenty.

Five years old, the future is bright. "Mama Li let out a long sigh, and Zhou Le covered her head with the quilt. She didn't want to hear what Nanny Li said anymore. Nanny Li wanted to persuade her again. When she heard footsteps coming from outside the door, Nanny Li immediately stood up and took precautions. look.

The person who walked in was Su Qiao. Seeing the defensive look on Nanny Li's face, Su Qiao smiled and said, "Momma is really considerate to Sister Zhou."

"If I shouldn't say it, I brought up the girl." Grandma Li felt relieved when she saw it was Su Qiao. She smiled and asked Su Qiao to sit down. Su Qiao sat next to Zhou Le and shook her hand. : "It's not enough to lie down all day. After a few days, you can get out of the house and bask in the sun."

"Then where am I going to go in the future?" Zhou Le opened his mouth and said this. Suqiao looked at Zhou Le: "Are you really not attached to these glory and wealth?"

"Ms. Kuang, I envy you very much." Seeing that Su Qiao's expression was about to change, Zhou Le said hurriedly: "I'm not talking about your life experience, but I am envious of your life now. You don't have to deal with your sister-in-law, you don't have to go You don't care about reputation, status, or even threats."

"You are still young and have not experienced anything. If..." Su Qiao was interrupted by Zhou Le hurriedly before she could finish her words: "Ms. Kuang, I am younger than you, but I have heard some things, but I just don't want to , in the deep courtyard again."

Everyone longs for the glory and wealth in a deep house and compound, but after Zhou Le experienced it, he realized many things. He had no choice but to...

"You have to think clearly. If you really make a decision, from now on, you will no longer be the granddaughter of the elder, nor the wife of an official, but just an ordinary person with only one or two maids around you, maybe one."

You have to do these things yourself. "Su Qiao looked at Zhou Le's hands. Zhou Le's hands were hands that had never been touched by cold water.

Zhou Le had reached out and held Su Qiao's hand. Su Qiao's hand was different from Zhou Le's. There was a thin layer of calluses on Su Qiao's hands. These were hands that had been worked hard. Then Zhou Le smiled. Li: "Yes, I don't touch Yang Chun Shui with ten fingers. From dressing to eating to writing, I have someone to take care of me. As long as I am willing, I can live a good life without moving a finger."

There are maids to attend to combing your hair, dressing up, and even going out to court. I can let the maid put food to my mouth, but is it really a good life like this? Su Qiao saw the determination in Zhou Le's eyes and sighed softly: "Now that you have made a decision, you have to bear all the consequences of this decision."

"I know." Zhou Le just said this lightly, and Nanny Li rushed forward again, as if she wanted to dispel Zhou Le's thoughts. Zhou Le had already looked at Nanny Li: "Nanny, I know you are right. I am fine."

Just this sentence made Grandma Li shed tears: "Girl, since you know that I am very good to you, then girl, why, why do you do this?"

"But I also want to see the world outside, and I don't want to be locked in a cage again. I am said to be a noble lady with a lot of money, but I am not even allowed to laugh wildly." Zhou Le said softly, Aunt Li's hand tightly grasped Zhou Le's shoulder, trying to persuade Zhou Le, but the tears fell so quickly that she couldn't say anything at all. Aunt Li could only cry. It seemed that only in this way could Zhou Le be made happy. Be happy to change your mind.

Zhou Le still sat there, letting Grandma Li do it.

Sad, no one else can change your own decision, not even Grandma Li, nor Su Qiao.
