Chapter 274 Transformation
"You said we shouldn't mess with Zhou Qing, but what did he say when I was slapped on the head by Zhou Huaishan last time.
He said that he must have given me this breath.
He couldn't tell Zhou Huaishan to come to apologize within two days.
"
Zhou Huaihai's words faintly drifted into Zhou Yuan's ears from behind. Zhou Yuan didn't want to hear a word and walked faster and faster.
After leaving the house, he wandered aimlessly on the streets of Kyoto.
The voices pointing at him from all around were rising and falling.
Zhou Yuan entered a tavern in a daze, ordered a few side dishes and a pot of soju, and drank slowly.
Pushing the wine glass caused an injury on his arm, which hurt so much that he couldn't get drunk.
I thought that as long as he tolerated it, he would always find a chance to turn around.
Kyoto is so big and there are so many opportunities. If you want to seize them, you can always seize them.
But now, he suddenly didn't want to wait anymore.
Originally they were all members of the same family, but the second wife was obviously living so well now, so why did he still waste his time being a dog in Duan Kangbo's house.
Or worse than a dog.
Just the day before yesterday, he was still thinking about using Zhou Huaishan to help Duan Kangbo bring down Shen Li. In this way, he would have done a great job.
But now, if I can help Shen Li overthrow Duan Kangbo,
Wouldn't it be better?
While drinking, Zhou Yuan's mind was filled with messy thoughts.
At this time, the Zhenguo Palace.
As soon as Duke Zhen Guo died, an extremely depressing atmosphere filled the entire Duke Zhen Guo's mansion.
The third young lady of the Duankang Bo Mansion, wearing an extremely gorgeous dress, was led directly to the study by a confidant in front of Su Heng, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion.
In the dusty Zhenguo Palace, her beauty is particularly eye-catching.
Mrs. Zhenguo Gong happened to come from the side of the flower wall, saw her from a distance, and frowned, "I looked at it, that person looked like the third girl from Duan Kangbo's house."
"Madam, you're right. It's her who handed over the post today and wants to see the prince."
Mrs. Zhen Guo looked at the beauty that was gradually disappearing in front of her eyes and sighed, "He is a good boy. It would be better if he was a boy, so he would not rush into his marriage like that.
She is the only one who is useful in Duan Kangbo Mansion.
Duan Kangbo was a little too cruel to her.
What is the prince doing? "
"I just came back from the East Palace and was discussing something with my staff."
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo nodded, without saying anything more, and helped her personal nanny back to her yard.
She was holding a small flower basket in her hand, filled with freshly picked petals.
The Queen Mother always liked the sachets made by her own hands.
study.
Su Heng was discussing something with his staff when the waiter outside reported back, "Your Majesty, the third lady is here."
Several staff members sitting opposite Su Heng stood up smoothly, and Su Heng did not stop them.
They filed out, and the third lady of Duankangbo Mansion stood quietly outside the door, waiting for the staff to leave. Su Heng said in a moderate tone, "Come in."
The third lady of Duan Kangbo Mansion walked in with a smile, "Brother Heng."
Su Heng glanced at her and said nothing. He just sat on the large chair behind the desk with his eyes slightly lowered.
The third lady stepped forward and walked directly to his desk.
"Brother Heng is not happy to see me? Do you blame me for getting married?"
Su Heng's eyelashes twitched slightly but did not speak.
The third young lady said: "Although I'm married, it's only in name only. It's all arranged by my father. I don't like Zhou Yuan."
Su Heng felt a little tight in her chest and breathed out softly, "What's the matter with you?"
He raised his eyes to look at the third lady, his eyes were cold.
The third lady was stunned, "Brother Heng?"
It seems a little incredible.
Su Heng smiled lightly, "Now that you are married, you and I should be different from each other."
As he said that, he pointed to the position where the staff had been sitting just now and said, "Sit."
The third lady stood in front of the desk and did not move.
"Brother Heng, do you think I am no longer the person I used to be, or do you think you are no longer the person you used to be?"
Her eyes were a little red and she stared at Su Heng.
Su Heng found her gaze unbearable and avoided her gaze, "It has been five years since I left Kyoto. Things have changed."
"But I haven't changed!"
"You're married!"
"I can make peace with you when I go back now."
"Nonsense, if you reconcile now, Duan Kangbo would have returned"
"So, you knew that I was married to Zhou Yuan at that time, right?" The third lady of Duan Kangbo Mansion asked coldly and resolutely, "You knew it from the beginning to the end, didn't you?"
Su Heng said nothing.
The third young lady snorted coldly, "So, this is not my father's arrangement, nor is my father following the arrangement of the Duke of Guo, but my father obeying the arrangement jointly made by Brother Heng and the Duke of Guo, right?"
"There is nothing we can do."
After being silent for a long time, Su Heng said.
The third lady took a step forward, put her hands on the table, leaned forward, and looked at Su Heng, "Have you ever been sincere to me? I haven't seen you in five years, but my heart has never been there. Change, what about you?"
Su Heng avoided the third lady's eyes again.
"Speak!" the third lady growled.
Su Heng said: "Just treat me as me. I have always treated you as my sister."
A line of clear tears fell from the eyes of the third young lady.
Tears ran down his cheeks and landed on the back of Su Heng's hand on the table.
Somewhat hot.
Su Heng's hand trembled but did not move.
The third lady stared at him for a moment, then turned and stood up straight. She wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand, then turned towards the chair behind her and sat down.
"Everyone says I'm stupid, I think I'm affectionate, but now, I admit I'm stupid.
In that case, I won't talk about feelings with the prince, we'll just talk about business.
Just today, the prince must have heard about what happened in the Jingzhao Yin government office.
I admit that I underestimated Zhou Qing, so I made a mistake.
I came here, one reason is to see."
She paused, a mockery spread across her face.
"Forget it, there's no one reason. I came here to tell the prince that Zhou Huaishan and Zhou Qing's visit to Beijing this time is definitely not simple.
This Zhou Huaishan must not be an ordinary farmer, and this Zhou Qing is not an ordinary village girl.
Although I confirmed the situation of Zhou Qing and Zhou Huaishan with Sun several times, Sun belittled them as worthless, but this statement is obviously personal.
From my point of view, Zhou Qing and Zhou Huaishan's visit to Beijing this time should be related to the case of Rongyang Houfu 20 years ago."
Her voice was calm and ruthless.
"Zhou Qing was forced to come to Beijing by the Prince of Ning's Mansion. From a simple point of view, it seems that the rivals are fighting.
Just because Zhou Qing looks like Shen Mingyue.
But I don't think so. I think that the Ningguo Mansion may have leaned towards Shen Li's faction.
I wonder what the prince thinks of my analysis?"
She suddenly became cold, with an unkind look on her face, which made Su Heng a little difficult to accept for a while.
He looked at the third lady steadily, was silent for a long time, and sighed, "It's good that you can think it through."
This sentence, like a blunt knife, stabbed the third lady's heart fiercely.
The third lady pinched the handkerchief tightly, holding back her emotions, and said nothing.
Su Heng said: "Zhou Qing made a fuss today, and her goal was very clear, which was the case of Zhou Huaihai's release from prison that Zhou Yuan manipulated at that time.
This case, I was indeed negligent at that time, otherwise I would not let Zhou Yuan do such a thing."
