Poor Lady Chapter 64: Communication barrier

While the Qi family was busy preparing the dowry, Qi Surong received the news of Luo Yanyi's engagement. The person who was engaged to her was unexpectedly the Eighth Prince who was in a place of suspicion. The previous marriage between Luo Yanyi and the young prince ended without a problem under her intervention. Unexpectedly, she chose the eighth prince again, or the eighth prince chose her.

The emperor's suppression of the Eighth Prince may not have seen the deep meaning of it. If the Eighth Prince wants to keep his position, he must increase foreign aid. The Luo family is undoubtedly a big help. Luo's father is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the official worships the second rank, and is quite influential in the court. The Eighth Prince's marriage to the daughter of the Luo family is tantamount to tying the Luo family to his boat.

In the last life, Luo Yanyi was married to the young master. Although she was not favored, she indirectly helped the Luo family avoid the calamity of imperial power. The Hou Mansion 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 trapped in a whirlpool.

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

Immediately, Qi Surong thought of Feng Zhan again, now that Feng Zhan is engaged to Liu Qian'er, and the Liu family and the Luo family have always had good friends and shared interests, it's hard 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 already murdered the eighth prince. Their closeness will make the emperor suspect that they are also the holders of the secret decree. Liu Qian'er's father is a Taiwei who is in charge of all affairs and can directly threaten the emperor's throne. If several major powers in the court unite and publish the secret decree, demanding the emperor's Zen throne. It is unknown who will win the deer.

The so-called one hair can affect the whole body, Qi Surong can't control everyone's fate, but she always has an apology in her heart for Feng Zhan, and she 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 for a long time, Qi Surong felt that there are only two choices at present, one is to destroy the marriage between Luo Yanyi and the Eighth Prince, and the other is to destroy the marriage between Feng Zhan and Liu Qian'er. Either way, it's not easy. The matter between Luo Yanyi and the young master last time was purely a coincidence, this time there is no condition for her to use.

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

"Why sigh?" A familiar voice suddenly rang in my ear.

Qi Surong was startled, and looked back, Gu Jinyun appeared beside her at some point.

"How did you get in here? Didn't the guards stop you?" The three nurses invited by Qi's father were all veterans who had fought in the battlefield. It is impossible to avoid their eyes and ears. Since they came, Jin Yun never had the chance to sneak into her room again.

"I gave Uncle Shi a bag of tea, and he agreed to let me in." Gu Jinyun replied.

Qi Surong was speechless, how did his father reject Gu Jinyun in such an aggressive manner? Now it's just a bag of tea to buy him off?

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

Well, with the speed at which Qi's father drank tea, a few ounces of tea really couldn't satisfy his huge stomach.

"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: "When I wake up, I think of your naive look when you wake up, when you dress up, I think of your delicate look, when I eat, I think of your demeanor when tasting dishes, when I take a walk, I think of your casual beauty, when you take a bath, I think of you." I miss you when you are swimming in the water, and when you sleep, you are ashamed..."

"Sweet words..." Qi Surong was embarrassed by his words.

Gu Jinyun lifted her chin and kissed her with expression.

"Dong dong!" There was a knock on the door, followed by Qi's father's rough voice: "Gu Jinyun, behave yourself, if you let me know that you are messing with my daughter, I will definitely You are welcome."

Gu Jinyun paused, and heard Qi's father continue: "Also, I only give you a stick of incense for visiting time! When the time is up, get out wisely, don't let me chase people away in person."

The sound of footsteps disappeared, and the room was silent.

"Pfft!" Qi Surong burst out laughing.

In the end, before she could even laugh a few times, she was pressed down on the wooden couch by Gu Jinyun and kissed until she became dizzy.

Qi Surong blushed and whispered, "Father won't let you touch me..."

"I only have one stick of incense time." Gu Jinyun said in a low voice, "Something has to be done."

As they spoke, there was another round of intimacy, and they didn't stop until the two of them were breathing in disorder and could hardly hold it back.

After tasting the forbidden fruit, Gu Jinyun's self-control is getting worse and worse, wishing to swallow her immediately, his eyes are so hot that they can burn her skin.

Qi Surong's cheeks became hot from his stare, she pushed him, trying to sit up. Gu Jinyun wrapped her arms around her waist and remained motionless, not intending to get up at all.

Looking at the wedding gown on Qi Surong's lap, he stroked it with his hand, Gu Jinyun raised his head and said, "Rong, have you prepared a wedding dress for me?"

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

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

The corners of Qi Surong's mouth are slightly raised, and his eyes and eyebrows are full of warmth.

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

"Yeah." Qi Surong surrendered helplessly.

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

"Gu Jinyun, you should go!" Qi's father's disturbing voice came from outside the door again, he is now guarding against Gu Jinyun as if he were guarding against a thief.

Gu Jinyun collapsed on Qi Surong's body like discouraged, with a gloomy expression of desire/demand/dissatisfaction.

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

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

Qi Surong said with a smile: "What do you want to impress my father by then?"

"I'll come back next time when my father-in-law is not at home." Gu Jinyun whispered, "Mother-in-law is easier to talk to."

Qi Surong couldn't help covering her mouth and smiling slightly.

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

Qi Surong got up to see her off, and when she opened the door, she saw Qi's father standing outside with his hands behind his back, staring sideways.

"Hmph, are you willing to come out?" Father Qi frowned and stared at Gu Jinyun.

Gu Jinyun saluted and pleaded guilty.

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

Gu Jinyun left without moving.

"You..." Qi's father turned his head and was about to preach to Qi Surong, but the latter hurriedly said: "Father, my daughter is tired, please rest for a while, and then call me at dinner."

With that, he closed the door.

Qi's father paused in the air for a moment, then dropped it, and said as he walked, "Women are not allowed to stay, girls are not allowed to stay..."

The next day, Qi Surong hesitated and decided to write a letter to Feng Zhan, but she burned the letter halfway through. She has no position to make him alienate the Luo family, and she can't disclose the matter of the Eighth Prince. No matter how this letter is written, it seems inappropriate.

"Miss." Ping'er walked in and handed over a letter, "Madam Zhang (Miss Zhang's family who married Zhang Zhihuai) sent someone to send an invitation."

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

"Miss, are you going?"

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

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

Ms. Zhang, who has given birth to a son, is a bit plumper 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, and I've lost a lot. How are you?"

Qi Surong said with a smile: "There is no serious problem, thank you for remembering. Here, a small gift, I wish you a happy new village."

"Why do you have to be polite to me?" Mrs. Zhang took the gift box with her own hands, handed it to the maidservant, and then greeted, "The flowers in the garden are in full bloom, why don't you go and have a look with me?"

"With pleasure."

The two talked and laughed, and walked along the gravel road.

"This manor is really beautiful, maybe it cost a lot of money?" Qi Surong praised.

"Well, it was given to me by my husband." Mrs. 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 a lot of money, he bought it for me. Manor."

"He is so kind to you."

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

"Yes." Qi Surong held her hand and said with a smile, "In the future, our sons and daughters can play together, study essays together, grow up together, and maybe even get closer to each other."

Madam Zhang smiled, and after a while, she asked: "I heard that you are engaged to a businessman?"

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

"It would be too wronged for you to promise to a businessman." Mrs. Zhang was quite worried. In her eyes, Qi Surong was the daughter of a real aristocratic family. s home.

"Why do you feel wronged? This is what I want to do." Most people think that her marrying a businessman is condescending, and even her previous life is just wishful thinking. Refusing to open the knot in their hearts eventually led to the two respecting each other like "ice".

After a lifetime of experience, I realize that my status and status are nothing more than floating clouds. If you keep chasing after you, you will never see the beautiful scenery around you. In this life, she allowed herself to fall in love with Gu Jinyun, disregarding the conventions of the world, and obtained satisfaction and happiness that she had never had before.

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

Qi Surong nodded and said firmly, "Yes."

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

"Thank you." Qi Surong smiled.

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

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

"You wait in the gazebo for a while, I will come as soon as I go."

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

Mrs. Zhang went around the corridor, turned into a guest room, and saluted inside: "The women have met Lord Feng."

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, Ms. Qi is waiting to be married, so it is really not suitable to meet you alone." Mrs. Zhang said softly, "Please don't be a refugee woman again, my lord, women don't want to damage Ms. Qi's reputation .”

"Mrs. Zhang, you promised me to meet Su Rong before." Feng Zhan asked, "Why did you suddenly go back on your word?"

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

"Exactly, what's the problem?"

"The woman chatted with Ms. Qi just now, and she doesn't seem to dislike Mr. Gu." Mrs. Zhang chose her words carefully.

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

"Please forgive me for not being able to comply with Mrs. Feng's request." Madam Zhang refused.

Feng Zhan's face darkened, and he was about to walk out.

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

Feng Zhan pushed her away unceremoniously, stepped out of the guest room, and went straight to the front hall. When he turned around the long corridor, he saw Qi Surong who was standing by the pavilion admiring the flowers. With her back facing Feng Zhan, her long hair fluttered lightly, and her figure was graceful, as if blending into the flower scene.

Feng Zhan's heart was shaken, he strode over to her, hugged her with difficulty, bowed his head and whispered in her ear: "Su Rong..."

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

"Don't let go!" Feng Zhan wrapped his arms around her waist tightly and said in a suppressed manner, "Do you know how much I miss you?"

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

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

Qi Surong couldn't break free, and said urgently: "Brother Feng, why do you need to apologize? Although you and I are not meant to be husband and wife, we can be brothers and sisters."

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

"Brother Feng, I'm already engaged, please... um!" Qi Surong opened her eyes wide, looking at the man who was kissing her, feeling confused, "Let go... let go..."

"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, I won't let you No more grievances."

"Brother Feng, don't do this. You and I are engaged, so we should keep our distance." Qi Surong covered his mouth and said angrily, "Your behavior is not what a gentleman would do!"

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

"Brother Feng, this is the end of the matter, what else do you want?"

"Su Rong, I want you to be my bride." Feng Zhan said in a firm tone.

"How is that possible? Haven't you already engaged to 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, Feng Zhan, will never betray you in this life, you must trust me."

What do you believe? Can you make it clear? Qi Surong had an ominous premonition.

"What do you want to do?"

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

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

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

"I can't." Feng Zhan wanted to kiss her again, but she quickly backed away.

"It's getting late, so let's say goodbye to Surong." 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 Mrs. Zhang's temperament, and she will never disregard her wishes and deliberately lure Feng Zhan over to see Feng Zhan.

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

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

"If you don't make such a bad move, I'm afraid you will reject me thousands of miles away." Feng Zhan slowed down his tone and said soothingly, "You are always duplicity, you would rather swallow the bitterness yourself than rely on me .”

Qi Surong was silent, feeling powerless towards Niu Drum Spring, was there some kind of communication barrier between them?
