Poor Lady

Just when the Qi family was busy preparing for the dowry, Qi Surong received the news that Luo Yanyi was engaged. The person with whom she was engaged was unexpectedly the Eighth Prince in a place of suspicion. The previous marriage between Luo Yanyi and Xiaohou Ye ended without a hitch under her intervention. Unexpectedly, she chose the Eighth Prince again, or the Eighth Prince chose her.

The emperor's suppression of the Eighth Prince, the ministers in the court may not have seen the deep meaning. If the Eighth Prince wants to keep his position, he must increase foreign aid. The Luo family is undoubtedly a great help. Father Luo was the official minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he was the second-rank official worshiper, and he was quite influential in the court. When the Eighth Prince married the daughter of the Luo family, it was equivalent to tying the Luo family to his boat.

In the last life, Luo Yanyi married Xiaohou Ye. Although she was not favored, she indirectly helped the Luo family avoid the disaster of imperial power. The Houfu escorted him all the way until the new emperor ascended the throne. Now that history has been completely tampered with, the Luo family has not only lost their support, but is also caught in a whirlpool.

Qi Surong didn't know whether to gloat or sympathize.

Immediately, Qi Surong thought of Feng Zhan again. Now Feng Zhan and Liu Qianer are engaged, and the Liu family and the Luo family have always been on good terms, and their interests coexist. It is difficult to say that the Liu family will not favor the Eighth Prince because of the Luo family. They only knew that the emperor and the Eighth Prince were brothers who had a harmonious relationship, but they didn't know that the emperor had murdered the Eighth Prince. Their closeness will make the emperor suspect that they are also holders of the secret decree. Liu Qian'er's father was Taiwei, who was in charge of the national military and could directly threaten the emperor's throne. If several major forces in the DPRK unite and publish a secret decree, asking the emperor to take the throne. Who will kill the deer is unknown.

Qi Surong cannot control everyone's fate, but to Feng Zhan, she always has a bit of apology in her heart and doesn't want him to be implicated. But the future has changed, and Qi Surong can no longer rely on the prophets of the previous life to deal with the changes in this life.

After thinking about it for a long time, Qi Surong felt that there were only two choices at present. One was to destroy the marriage between Luo Yanyi and the Eighth Prince, and the other was to destroy the marriage between Feng Zhan and Liu Qianer. Either way, it's not easy to do. The last time between Luo Yanyi and Xiaohou Ye was purely coincidental, and this time there were no conditions for her to take advantage of.

"Alas..." Qi Surong sighed as she looked at the half-embroidered wedding dress on her hand.

"Why sigh?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Qi Surong was startled and looked back, Gu Jinyun didn't know when he appeared beside her.

"How did you come in? The uncle of the nursing home didn't stop you?" The three nursing homes invited by Qi's father were all veterans who had fought in the battlefield. Maybe their skills were not as good as before, but their senses were sharp and ordinary people could not avoid it. through their ears. Since they came, Jin Yun has no chance to sneak into her room again.

"I gave Shibo a pack of tea, and he agreed to let me in." Gu Jinyun replied.

Qi Surong was speechless, how did his father aggressively shut Gu Jinyun out? Now you just bought him a bag of tea?

"The top grade Qingwu tea, Shibo likes it very much." Gu Jinyun added.

Well, at the speed of Qi's father drinking tea, a few taels of tea leaves can't really satisfy his huge stomach.

"Do you miss me?" Gu Jinyun took her hand and said seriously, "I miss you very much."

"How much do you think?" Qi Surong asked with a smile.

Gu Jinyun thought for a moment, then replied: "I think of your naive look when I wake up, how cute you are when you dress, how you taste when you eat, how beautiful you are when you take a walk, and how you look when you take a shower. The charm of playing in the water, the shyness of thinking of you when you sleep..."

"Beautiful words..." Qi Surong was embarrassed by what he said.

Gu Jinyun lifted her chin and gave her a kiss.

"Dong dong!" There was a knock on the door, followed by Qi's father's gruff voice: "Gu Jinyun, please be disciplined, if you let me know that you are doing something to my daughter, I will definitely not treat you. polite."

Gu Jinyun moved for a while, and then heard Qi's father continue: "Also, I'll only give you a stick of incense to visit! When the time is up, get out of it wisely, don't let me drive people out in person."

The footsteps faded away, and the room fell silent.

"Pfft!" Qi Surong burst out laughing.

In the end, before even laughing a few times, Gu Jinyun pressed him on the wooden couch and kissed him so dizzy.

Qi Surong blushed and whispered, "Dad won't let you do anything to me..."

"I only have time for a stick of incense." Gu Jinyun said in a low voice, "I have to do something."

After speaking, it was another round of intimacy, until the two of them were breathing in a mess, and they stopped when they couldn't hold it anymore.

After tasting the forbidden/fruit, Gu Jinyun's self-control is getting worse and worse, and he can't wait to swallow her immediately, his eyes are so hot that it seems to burn her skin.

Qi Surong's cheeks were hot from his stare, and she pushed him, trying to sit up. However, Gu Jinyun did not move around her waist, and did not intend to get up at all.

His eyes fell on the wedding dress on Qi Surong's lap, and he rubbed it with his hand. Gu Jinyun raised his head and said, "Rong, have you prepared a wedding dress for me?"

"Prepare your wedding dress?" Qi Surong said strangely, "Why do you need me to prepare your wedding dress?"

"I want to wear the wedding dress that you sewed by yourself." Gu Jinyun took the wedding dress to his nose and smelled it, "It smells like you."

The corners of Qi Surong's mouth rose slightly, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of warmth.

"Are you okay?" Gu Jinyun's tone was faintly coquettish.

"Well." Qi Surong surrendered helplessly.

"You are so kind." Gu Jinyun knocked her down again.

"Gu Jinyun, it's time for you to go!" The sound of Qi's father's disgusting voice came from outside the door. He is now defending Gu Jinyun like a thief.

Gu Jinyun was paralyzed on Qi Surong's body as if in frustration, with a gloomy expression of desire/begging/dissatisfaction.

"Okay, go back first." Qi Surong patted his head comfortingly.

Gu Jinyun sat up reluctantly and said warmly, "I'll see you in a few days."

Qi Surong smiled and said, "What do you want to impress my father then?"

"I'll come back next time when my father-in-law is away." Gu Jinyun whispered, "Mother-in-law is better at talking."

Qi Surong couldn't help but covered her mouth and smiled.

Gu Jinyun kissed her face again, said goodbye to her, and walked out of the room.

Qi Surong got up to say goodbye, and opened the door to see Qi's father standing outside the door with his hands behind his back, squinting at this side.

"Hmph, are you willing to come out?" Qi's father raised his brows and stared at Gu Jinyun.

Gu Jinyun threw a guilty plea.

"Let's go." Father Qi waved his hand impatiently.

Gu Jinyun didn't move, Shi Shiran left.

"You..." Father Qi turned his head and was about to preach to Qi Surong, but the latter said quickly, "Father, my daughter is tired, take a rest first, and then call me during dinner."

Saying so, he closed the door.

Qi's father's hand stopped in the air for a moment, then dropped it, and said as he walked, "I don't want to stay with a girl, I don't want to stay with a girl..."

The next day, Qi Surong hesitated and decided to write a letter to Feng Zhan, but she burned the letter halfway through. She didn't have any position to keep him away from the Luo family, and she couldn't disclose the matter of the Eighth Prince. No matter how you wrote this letter, it seemed out of place.

"Miss." Ping'er came in and handed a letter, "Mrs. Zhang (Miss Zhang, who is married to Zhang Zhihuai) sent someone to send an invitation."

Qi Surong opened it and looked at it, then smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhang bought a small manor and invite me to visit the garden tomorrow."

"Are you going, ma'am?"

"Of course." Mrs. Zhang was one of Qi Surong's few close friends.

The next day, Qi Surong dressed up properly, and was escorted by the nursing home to Madam Zhang's new manor.

Mrs. Zhang, who has given birth to a son, is a little richer than before, but she is radiant and seems to be living a good life.

"Surong, you're here." Mrs. Zhang pulled her to sit down and asked with concern, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I've lost a lot of money, how are you?"

Qi Surong smiled and said, "It's no longer a big problem, thank you for remembering. Well, little gift, I wish you a happy new village."

"Why do you have to be polite to me?" Madam Zhang took the gift box and handed it to the maid, and then greeted, "The flowers are blooming in the garden, come and see with me?"

"my pleasure."

The two chatted and laughed, and walked along the stone road.

"This manor is so beautiful, I'm afraid it cost a lot of money, right?" Qi Surong praised.

"Well, this was given to me by my husband." Madam Zhang sighed, "My husband is relatively poor. When I first got married, I relied on my father to support the family. Now that I have more money, he bought this manor for me."

"He was so nice to you."

Mrs. Zhang showed a gentle smile, looked at Qi Surong and said, "Thanks to your reminder back then, I avoided a miserable end for half my life. Although my husband has a dull personality, he is diligent and considerate towards me. Now I have a child. , I feel that I have no regrets in my life. Su Rong, you are my benefactor and my best friend. I hope you can marry a good husband and live a happy life in the future. "

"Yes." Qi Surong held her hand and smiled, "In the future, our children can play together, study literature together, grow up together, and maybe even kiss each other."

Mrs. Zhang smiled, and after a while, she asked, "I heard that you have engaged a businessman?"

"Yes, his surname is Gu and his name is Jinyun."

"It's too wrong to give to a businessman." Mrs. Zhang was quite worried. In her eyes, Qi Surong was a real daughter of a noble family, and she should have married into a famous family instead of succumbing to a merchant's family.

"What's wrong? This is what I am willing to do." Most people felt that she was a humiliation when she married a businessman, and even she was thinking about her previous life. The heart knot eventually caused the two to respect each other like "ice".

After a lifetime, I realize that my status is nothing but a cloud. If I keep chasing it, I will never see the beauty around me. In this life, she let herself fall in love with Gu Jinyun, ignoring worldly stereotypes, and what she got was the satisfaction and happiness she had never had before.

"Are you really willing?" Madam Zhang asked again with certainty.

Qi Surong nodded and said firmly, "Yes."

Madam Zhang sighed and said with a smile, "In that case, I bless you."

"Thank you." Qi Surong smiled.

"By the way, do you want to see my child?" Madam Zhang asked suddenly.

"Of course, he's almost one year old, right?" Qi Surong's face was full of interest.

"You wait in the pavilion for a while, and I'll come when I go."

Qi Surong smiled and nodded, waiting in the pavilion while drinking tea.

Madam Zhang walked around the corridor, turned into a guest room, and saluted inside, "The woman has seen Lord Feng before."

The man in the guest room turned around and asked, "Where's Su Rong? Why didn't you bring her to see me?"

"Master Feng, Miss Qi is already married, so it's really not suitable to meet you alone." Mrs. Zhang said warmly, "Please don't be a refugee woman anymore. People women don't want to damage Miss Qi's reputation."

"Mrs. Zhang, you promised me and Su Rong to meet before." Feng Zhan asked, "Why do you suddenly regret it?"

Mrs. Zhang replied: "Before, the women thought that Lord Feng was Miss Qi's sweetheart, but she had to separate for some reason."

"That's it, what's the problem?"

"The woman has just chatted with Miss Qi for a while, and she doesn't seem to dislike that Mr. Gu." Madam Zhang chose her words carefully.

"Don't you hate it?" Feng Zhan snorted coldly, "Do you know what Gu Jinyun did to her? He..." After a while, "Anyway, you help me bring her here. I have something important to tell her."

"Please forgive me because the women couldn't comply with the request of Lord Feng." Madam Zhang refused.

Feng Zhan's face sank, and he was ready to walk out.

"Master Feng!" Mrs. Zhang quickly stopped her.

Feng Zhan pushed her away unceremoniously, stepped out of the living room, went straight to the front hall, and when he turned around the corridor, he saw Qi Surong who was standing by the pavilion admiring the flowers at a glance. With her back to Feng Zhan, she has long hair and a graceful figure, as if blending in with the flower scene.

Feng Zhan's heart was shaken, he strode over, hugged her in a loveless hug, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Su Rong..."

Qi Surong turned pale in shock and struggled: "Brother Feng, why are you here? Let me go!"

"Don't let it go!" Feng Zhan wrapped his arms around her waist tightly, suppressing, "Do you know how much I miss you?"

"Brother Feng, don't do this, let me go first."

"Surong, don't reject me, let me hold you." Feng Zhan said bitterly, "I'm sorry, Surong, I'm sorry."

Qi Surong couldn't break free, and said anxiously: "Brother Feng, why do you need to apologize? Although you and I have no chance to be husband and wife, we can be brothers and sisters."

"Brother and sister?" Feng Zhan looked at her with expression, "I will never treat you as my sister, you can only be my woman."

"Brother Feng, I'm already engaged, please... uh!" Qi Surong opened her eyes wide, looking at the man who was kissing her, in a state of confusion, "Let... open..."

"I'm sorry for you, Su Rong, I won't let you marry the man who defiled you." Feng Zhan said with a painful expression, "I want you to be my wife, I will love you forever, and I won't let you suffer any more. Wronged."

"Brother Feng, don't be like this. You and I are already engaged, so we should keep our distance." Qi Surong covered her mouth and said angrily, "You are not acting like a gentleman!"

"I used to be a gentleman." Feng Zhan said solemnly, "I shouldn't have let you go when I was in another courtyard."

"Brother Feng, this is the end, what do you still want?"

"Su Rong, I want you to be my bride." Feng Zhan said firmly.

"How is that possible? Didn't you already marry Miss Liu?" Qi Surong frowned, "Do you want to regret the marriage?"

"No, I have other plans." Feng Zhan's eyes flickered and he smiled, "I just want you to know that I will never let you down in my life, you must believe me."

Believe what? Can you make it clearer? Qi Surong had an ominous premonition.

"what you up to?"

"You'll understand then. I won't let you marry that man, don't worry."

What does she worry about? Don't worry about it at all, okay?

Hold your breath! Qi Surong took a deep breath and asked again, "What do you want to do? Can't you tell me?"

"No." Feng Zhan wanted to kiss her again, but she quickly backed away.

"It's getting late, Surong will leave now." Qi Surong didn't want to stay with him any longer.

Feng Zhan took her hand: "Don't you want to see Mrs. Zhang's child?"

Qi Surong looked at him suddenly: "You didn't do anything to Mrs. Zhang's child, did you?"

She understands Madam Zhang's temperament, and will never deliberately lead her to see Feng Zhan regardless of her wishes.

"If you stay with me today, I will let her child go." Feng Zhan said sarcastically, "If you don't obey, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."

"You, you actually used a child to coerce me?" Qi Surong's eyes were full of anger.

"If you don't do this, I'm afraid you will keep me away for thousands of miles." Feng Zhan calmed down and comforted, "You are always duplicitous, and would rather swallow the bitter water by yourself than rely on me."

Qi Surong was silent, and a feeling of powerlessness towards Niuguhuang was born in his heart. Is there some kind of communication barrier between them?
