MTL - Drunk House-Chapter 19 Garden tour (plus more)
Chapter 19 Touring the Garden (addition)
Zhou Gu felt that he had entered a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair. This family really didn't see the outside world, but they were too enthusiastic, and he couldn't get angry, so he almost suffered internal injuries.
Su Rong looked at Zhou Gu and smiled secretly, "Let's go! I'll show you around our house."
Zhou Gu thought about what to do in a run-down prefect's mansion. When he came, he could get a glimpse of what the prefect's mansion looked like along the way, but it was impossible to stay here with her, so he could only nod.
So, Su Rong took Zhou Gu out of the living room and walked towards the backyard.
Su Rong doesn't speak, and Zhou Gu naturally can't speak. There is really nothing to visit in the prefect's mansion. There is only a waterside pavilion with flowers and trees planted on both sides, and there are some ornamental flowers, but they are not rare varieties, so naturally they can't catch Zhou Gu's eyes.
There was no one on the way, apparently the eldest lady ordered, and everyone avoided.
Su Rong saw that although Zhou Gu was walking with her, but there was a distance between the two of them, he thought that this person really belonged? Still not a womanizer? Or prefect ceremony? When she was going up the steps on purpose, she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt, exclaimed, and fell forward.
Zhou Gu's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, he reached out to support her, and then immediately withdrew his hand.
Su Rong stood firm, turned to look at Zhou Gu, with lingering fear on his face, "Thank you."
Zhou Gu opened his mouth, pinched his fingertips stiffly, "No thanks."
Thinking to herself, she is so weak and vulnerable, she can't walk steadily, it scares her to death, he doesn't want such a wife.
Su Rong is very sensitive to people's emotions, and immediately caught Zhou Gu's momentary dislike for her. She was startled, she pretended to be like this, why did he still dislike her? What do you dislike her for?
She recalled her calculations just now, and she felt that the clothes were flawless and she didn't reveal anything. It shouldn't be obvious that she stepped on the skirt on purpose. She continued to go up the steps calmly, taking every step carefully. When a gust of wind blew, she squinted her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and swayed weakly. Out of the corner of her eye, Zhou Gu stared at her nervously.
Su Rong is a little confused, what is he nervous about?
She pushed back the broken hair on her forehead, held up the hem of her skirt, and asked in a low voice: "Zhou Gu, you have been in Jiangning for three days, where have you been?"
Hey, she hasn't gone out for more than half a month, she really wants to go out to play.
Zhou Gu waited for her to go up the steps, and when she came to the gazebo, he breathed a sigh of relief, and made up his mind that he really didn't want such a weak fiancée, otherwise wouldn't he have to watch and protect her? He almost felt that it was a miracle that she hadn't been blown away by the wind since she was a child, and she hadn't been disfigured while walking.
He answered her, "It's in the city, I visited the night market, and walked around the street during the day."
"Didn't you go out of the city to play?" Su Rong looked at him, thinking about what to do in the night market and the street.
Zhou Gu shook his head, "I haven't taken care of it yet."
Seeing Su Rong's puzzled expression, he roughly understood her thoughts, and blushed, "Jiangning has many snacks, and there are many gadgets that have never been seen in the capital. It is very lively."
Su Rong suddenly realized, "Well, people from other places like to go to the night market very much."
She asked Zhou Gu to sit down, and she sat down next to him. Melon and fruit refreshments had already been placed on the table. She picked up a peach and handed it to Zhou Gu, "This is a juicy peach, which is only produced in Jiangning. Try it."
Zhou Gu just wanted to shake his head and say that I don't want to eat it, but seeing Su Rong picked up another one, he put it to his mouth and bit it naturally, and kept handing it to him with one hand.
Su Rong suddenly said: "A few days ago, I heard that you and the young prince of Rui'an Palace were fighting for a woman? Does that woman look as good-looking as I do?"
Zhou Gu almost threw the peach in his hand, and looked at her in shock.
Su Rong tilted his head and smiled at him, "Don't be nervous, I'm just curious. I heard that you single-handedly beat all the guards of the Rui'an Palace to death. How many guards are there? And the young prince of the Rui'an Palace, how much did you hurt him?"
Zhou Gu: "..."
He didn't know if someone else's fiancée would ask such a thing when they met for the first time, but as his fiancée, he asked, and it was too direct. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer her.
"Is it hard to answer?" Su Rong's eyes were clear, as if she was just curious and had no other thoughts.
Zhou Gu twitched the corner of his mouth, "Not really."
Seeing Su Rong looking at her, he said stiffly: "Qin Luan..." He coughed, "That's the woman, her brother and I have a little friendship, after her family committed a crime, her father was beheaded by His Majesty, all the men of her uncles and brothers were exiled to a place of bitter cold three thousand miles away, and all the female relatives were demoted to slavery. Before her brother left, he entrusted me to take care of her, saying that she couldn't bear the pain, so I..."
After he finished telling the truth, he realized that something was wrong. He hadn't explained the reason to anyone. Even the people in Duke Huguo's mansion thought he had fallen in love with Qin Luan, and he didn't want to marry her. Why did he explain it to her?
His complexion turned bad all of a sudden.
"Oh, so it turns out that you are doing justice for the sake of your friends." Su Rong commented, and then wondered, "What about the little prince? The little prince in Rui'an Palace is also very precious. Why is he robbing people?"
"He likes Qin Luan."
Su Rong tilted her head and smiled, "Then Qin Luan doesn't like him? That's why you helped her rob him?"
"I don't know. The night before, I had a drink with someone. The next morning, after waking up, I heard that Xie Lin had gone to rob someone. My brain became hot, and I remembered that her brother asked me to take care of her, so I rushed there." He started talking, and for some reason, he couldn't hold it back for a while, and said regretfully, "Drinking is really a waste of time, but if I wake up, I won't rob someone. Even if you rob her, you won’t be able to place her.”
Su Rong nodded, "You have a marriage contract, so you really can't place her."
Zhou Gu: "..."
Su Rong said naturally: "I heard that although you snatched her, she couldn't enter the Duke's Mansion?"
She heard what Li Yan said, that the man was sent to the East Palace by His Majesty to give to the Crown Prince, and the two robbed it for a long time, but neither of them got it.
Zhou Gu's face was a little tense, "Yes."
