Drunk House Chapter 228

Mrs. Guogong hugged Zhou Gu, and felt that his body was trembling slightly. Every time he said a word, the trembling became more serious. She was so distressed, but she couldn't say anything.

He understands very well in his heart, so sensible, he has already said that he will try, how can she, a mother, have the heart to persuade him to force him to preach to him?

She could only hug him, pat him on the shoulder, and comfort him.

After a while, Zhou Gu put down his hands, and said hoarsely with red eyes, "Mother, I still have something to do, I have to leave the house."

Mrs. Guo sighed, let go of him, and asked softly: "The investigation of the case is not going well?"

Zhou Guqing said "hmm", "It involves the Imperial Guard, who can reach into the Imperial Guard? Several princes, important officials in the court, and even concubines in the palace, except for the East Palace and the Palace of the Protector, are all possible."

The imperial guards never intervene in the East Palace and Duke Huguo's Mansion. They keep a low profile and are afraid of being stared at by the emperor, let alone reaching in.

Mrs. Guo wants to say that if you try to let go of Su Rong, you should avoid everything related to her. You should not investigate this case. But then I thought, can I avoid it for a while, but can I always avoid it? Su Rong is now in the capital, and the Duke Huguo's Mansion will never be able to avoid Su Rong because of his promise with Princess Zhenmin. Even if Zhou Gu avoids it, will it be useful? Restraint to the extreme, as he said, no one knows what the consequences will be. It's better to follow his heart and let him do what he can intervene, and maybe he will gradually let go.

So, she didn't ask any more questions, and gently instructed: "Then go and get busy! But no matter how busy you are, you must also pay attention to your body, people still have to sleep."

"I know." Zhou Gu nodded.

Mrs. Guogong saw Zhou Gu leaving Shuanglin Garden, she didn't leave immediately, but sat in the position where Zhou Gu had just sat, sat quietly for a while, and covered her eyes with her hands.

Back then, the Duke died in battle, Zhou Gu was still a toddler, and the eldest son was only around his knees. At that time, she felt that the sky was falling, and she wished she could hang the beams with a rope, but when she saw the two children, how could she bear the heart that they had no father and no mother? Even if she wanted to die, she had to hold herself back.

So, she was ill for a while, gritted her teeth, and survived.

But for more than fifteen years, in the dead of night, when she was alone and sleepless, she stayed up for a long night, how could she not think of the pillow person she once fell in love with and planned to stay with her for the rest of her life? How could he not regret it more than once, when he desperately stopped him and didn't let him go to the battlefield?

Because she knew she was going to die, she didn't try her best to stop it, and she lost the loyalty and blood of the Duke's Mansion, no matter the men of the Duke's Mansion who died in the battle, or the sisters-in-law who became widows like her. Even she, the wife of the country, regretted it, but she didn't believe that they never cried or regretted when there was no one behind their backs?

The most irresistible thing is this separation of life and death, the separation of yin and yang, the family, the country and the world, and the righteousness of life and death.

She has two sons, the eldest son is the eldest grandson of the Duke of the Protectorate, there is no way, he was born to bear the responsibility of the Duke of the Protector. But what about the youngest son? How many people's youngest sons are still idle, happy to enjoy themselves, unable to learn, and have no ambitions even when they are old? You don't have to bear the burden for the family if you get the small amount of family property you deserve. These are the normal young children of the Gaomen mansion in Beijing.

As for her youngest son, he has been burdened by being too smart since he was a child.

Of course, she didn't think that what the father-in-law did was wrong, and everyone in the Duke Protector's mansion didn't think that what he did was wrong. Because, although the path he chose for Zhou Gu was for the benefit of the Duke Huguo, but more, it was also for Zhou Gu himself to have a smooth career, a name that will go down in history, and be praised for thousands of years.

The world is prosperous, with tens of millions of people, how many people can go down in history? A dynasty, but a few people.

But now, her son asked her in a hoarse voice, would he regret watching the person he likes live and fly with others for the rest of his life? Everyone, including Su Rong, thinks that his personal affair is insignificant enough to be compared with these, right?

She may not be able to answer, but she has to follow his words to think deeply and examine the path she chose for him. If he is allowed to go on like this, will he eventually become a walking dead? Will I deeply regret when I get old, feel lonely at night, and dream back at midnight?

No! She has regretted being lonely for sixteen years in the dead of night, and she can't let his son be like her.

Today's Duke Protector's Mansion is not facing a catastrophe of life and death, and the current national strength of Liang is not as weak and bully as it was back then. If her son wants to have peace of mind for the rest of his life because of his private affair, he may give up a lot of things, but as long as he doesn't regret the marriage, what's the problem?

She put down her hands, stood up abruptly, left Shuanglin Garden, and went to the yard of Princess Sheng'an.

Mrs. Guogong walked too fast, and the maidservants who were serving were startled, and they shouted "madam" in surprise. Mrs. Guogong, as if she didn't hear it, hurriedly walked, never before, like a gust of wind, she rushed to the courtyard of Princess Sheng'an.

She has never been so inconsiderate, self-confident, or dignified.

Princess Sheng'an didn't sleep well yesterday, or in other words, because of Zhou Gu's business, she hadn't slept well for several days in a row. Seeing the Duke's wife rushing in like the wind, she was also shocked, and immediately stood up and asked, "What happened?"

Mrs. Guo stood firm, took a few breaths and said, "Mother, let them all go out!"

Princess Sheng'an waved her hand, and the waiters quickly retreated, leaving only her and the Duke's wife in the room.

Mrs. Guo took a deep breath, stepped forward to help the eldest princess Sheng An, and sat down next to her, "Mother, just now when Brother Gu was returning to the mansion, on the way, he met the Second Young Master Ye from the Yexiang Mansion. That night the Second Young Master went to the Shen Mansion to find Su Rong."

Just this one sentence, Princess Sheng'an's complexion changed slightly, "How is Gu Geer?"

The Duke's wife lowered her voice, and repeated Zhou Gu's state and what he said to Princess Sheng'an.

After hearing this, the eldest princess of Sheng'an covered her heart and didn't speak for a long time.

Mrs. Guogong knew that she was also distressed. If it was about caring for Zhou Gu, no one loved her more than Princess Sheng'an. He went to study with him in the East Palace, and she would ask him what he did in the East Palace every day.

She said softly: "Mother, your surname is Yan, and you are the eldest princess of Daliang. Back then, when Wei came to invade, your husband and brothers all went to the battlefield. You, the country and your family, could not stop you. Your husband and brothers died in the battle. Daughter-in-law, I don't know if you have regretted even keeping a son in these years? But daughter-in-law is telling you the truth today. In these years, daughter-in-law often regretted losing her husband and love. He didn't say a word, but silently put on the armor for the husband, and sent him out of the mansion. He left in such a hurry that he didn't even reach the gate of the city..."

Princess Sheng'an burst into tears.

The Duke's wife also shed tears, two people, two faces, weeping silently, who said that crying loudly is the most painful? Their pain was silent, but lasted for more than ten years.

Mrs. Guo Gong choked up and said: "Mother, although Gu Geer said to try, but my daughter-in-law is afraid, afraid that he will suffer from self-sufficiency, restrain himself and suppress for a long time, and he will turn his head and still can't let go. But Su Rong and Ye Guixue developed feelings during this period, then my Gu Geer..."

She covered her face, "At that time, there is really no room left."

Princess Sheng'an stood up abruptly.

Mrs. Guo put down her hands, there was no reason why her mother was standing and she was sitting, so she also stood up and called out, "Mother."

Princess Sheng'an stood for a moment, took out her handkerchief, slowly wiped the tears from her face, and said calmly: "You are right."

She shouted, "Come here!"

The nurse who served her personally has been guarding the door, opened the door and came in, "Eldest Princess?"

Princess Sheng An ordered, "Go to Shen's mansion as soon as possible, and go in person, just tell me that I have something important to do, and I ask Su Rong to come to Duke Hu's mansion today."

The personal nurse should be, and went immediately.

Princess Sheng'an eldest princess sat down slowly, and said to Mrs. Guo, "I will continue to be disturbed by it. This is Su Rong's plan to quit the engagement without stopping. It is unavoidable that the more you delay, the more you get involved with Gu Geer, which is not good for both sides. But now it has been many days, Gu Geer is still so reluctant to let go, and today I can say this to you. When you are the weakest, I confide my heart to you. If you, a mother, are still upholding righteousness at this time? Why do you want to be famous in history? You can't think what he thinks, ask him what he asks, answer his questions, solve his doubts, and just blindly cover your heart with lard, then you will always lose your son's natural trust in you as a mother.

After finishing speaking, the eldest princess Sheng'an held the hand of Mrs. Guogong and took her to sit down, "So, it is right for you to come to me today. I am also a mother, and even more so his grandmother. I only hope for his well-being, and I will not watch him ruin myself, so that I will hate him for the rest of my life in the future."

Dear ones, I'm back from the meeting and I'm exhausted. Let's add monthly tickets!
