Chapter 24 Chivalrous Tenderness
The next morning, Su Xueyun had just woken up when she heard the waiter say someone was looking for her outside. She heard what the waiter described and guessed it was Guo Jing, so she asked the waiter to get water and give her breakfast. She dressed up slowly in the room and used food before going downstairs to see Guo Jing.
Her face was a little depressed and sad, but she looked three points more beautiful than yesterday. At this time, she showed a pretended strong smile, which made Guo Jing, who saw her, couldn't help feeling distressed.
"Hua Zheng...I'm not good at it, I'm sorry to you..."
Su Xueyun shook her head lightly, lowered her eyes and looked at her toes, "Do you have something to ask me for?"
Guo Jing remembered his mother's scolding and his masters' disapproval, and scratched his head in annoyance, "Hua Zheng, my mother asked me to invite you and Torean to have dinner. She said she would make some special home-cooked meals to entertain you."
"This... is not very convenient. I'm going to get angry again when I saw it. I'm afraid she will hit me." Su Xueyun said softly, as if she thought of Huang Rong's fierce look, and her face was a little scared.
Guo Jing waved his hand quickly, "No, Rong'er won't beat people around. Besides, let's talk about it...my mother didn't invite her." In the end, his voice was already low, obviously feeling helpless because of the disagreement between his mother and her sweetheart.
Su Xueyun curled her lips without any trace, then hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, Aunt Guo just returned to the Central Plains and didn't know if she was adapting, and I was a little worried."
Seeing that she cared so much about her mother, Guo Jing felt a little guilty, and he couldn't help but remembered Huang Rong's angry accusations when she chased Huang Rong out yesterday.
"What does your mother mean? You said you don't like that princess, and your mother asked you to marry her?"
At that time, he knew that Huang Rong was too angry, so he didn't care about her somewhat rude tone. Now when compared with Su Xueyun, he realized that their temperament was really much worse. Su Xueyun was obviously a princess, and she used to be proud and loved to be good at using her temperament, but since she got engaged to him, she has become more and more gentle and kind, and has taken care of her mother meticulously. On the other hand, Huang Rong seemed to have no choice between her mother and several masters, just like water and fire, it was difficult to integrate.
Su Xueyun reached out and shook her hand in front of him, and asked with concern: "Ajing, what are you thinking?"
Guo Jing came back to his senses, saw her figure reflected in her clear eyes, and remembered the more than ten years of childhood sweethearts. The other party had always looked at him with such a focused look, and was immediately overwhelmed by guilt, "Hua Zheng, don't be sad, I promised that I will do it!"
Su Xueyun's mouth twitched, and she could hardly help but slap him. Who is this person? Who wants to marry him? I noticed that someone was looking at them next to her. Su Xueyun hurriedly said, "Let's go out and talk, I'll call Tore first." After that, she turned around and ran upstairs, thinking that she would have made it clear to Guo Jing earlier. As long as Guo Jing feels guilty and grateful to her, she will definitely think of her from time to time in the future, and Huang Rong will be jealous enough. If she uses too much temperament, even Guo Jing will be tired, right?
Tore had no good expression on Guo Jing. He had known that he had come before and closed his door. Now he saw Su Xueyun seemed to have something to say to Guo Jing, so he followed them two steps behind and asked them to speak on their own.
Guo Jing was worried that Huang Rong was annoyed Torre again, and she was worried all the way. Su Xueyun looked at him, took a deep breath and smiled, "Ajing, you are not like you at all now. You were always very straightforward, but why are you now becoming a mother-in-law and mother? I know you don't like me, and I won't do anything to make things boring, so yesterday I said in front of Aunt Guo and your masters that our engagement will be invalid. What else can you be unhappy about this?"
"What? The engagement is invalid?" Guo Jing raised his head in surprise.
Su Xueyun asked in confusion: "Why don't you know?"
Guo Jing shook his head, "My mother and the masters didn't say anything, and she even told me to marry you in the future. Hua Zheng, are you really... really willing to terminate the engagement?"
Su Xueyun's face was a little cold, "Even if my Hua Zheng's husband is not a great hero, he would be a man who is devoted to me. I don't think I need to pray to others to marry me."
"Hua Zheng, I don't mean that." Seeing Su Xueyun getting angry, Guo Jing was a little anxious, but the more he spoke, he became more and more chaotic, and finally said, "I really treat you as a girl. You can come to me if you have anything to do in the future. We grew up together, and I...I will definitely not forget you."
Su Xueyun looked ahead with a expressionless face and said, "Guo Jing, you are sorry for me in this matter, and I will not forgive you. But if you like others, I will help you. I also hope that you can keep a distance from me in the future and not let your sister Rong'er come to cause trouble for me again."
Guo Jing showed a puzzled look, "Rong'er is going to find you? How could it be?"
"Why didn't she look for me? I think she has not only found me, but also found that Miss Mu, right?" Su Xueyun showed a sarcastic smile. "Your sister Rong'er came to warn me to stay away from you last night, otherwise you would be rude to me. She said this is Central Plains and not Mongolia, so she asked me to go and see. She almost slapped me in the face yesterday. I have never suffered such grievances since I was a child. Guo Jing, even for my own good, I would like to stay away from me in the future and treat me as a stranger."
Guo Jing looked angry and his eyes were full of anger, "Rong'er clearly said she was considerate of me, why did she do this?"
Su Xueyun didn't say anything and followed him slowly forward. She knew that according to Guo Jing's personality, she felt guilty about losing her fiancée, and she broke up with such understanding and Huang Rong came to the door to make trouble, which was enough to make Guo Jing angry. As for how Guo Jing would question Huang Rong and how clever Huang Rong would linger over, she could think of it without using her brain, but it would be enough to make them feel uncomfortable for a while. Anyway, Hua Zheng's wish was just to prevent them from being together sweetly and lovingly, and she didn't need to break them up.
When she arrived at the small yard where Yang Tiexin was hiding, Aunt Guo had already prepared the meal and took Su Xueyun's hand to sit down enthusiastically. Su Xueyun politely greeted everyone. Seeing her smiling and being well-behaved and sensible, she did not look so sad at all, the elders smiled. Even Mu Nianci looked at her for a few more times and felt admiration for her.
During the meal, Aunt Guo kept asking Guo Jing to pick up food for Su Xueyun. What made Guo Jing embarrassed was that he had no idea what Su Xueyun liked to eat. Instead, Su Xueyun picked up some dishes for Aunt Guo from time to time, all of which Aunt Guo liked to eat. Seeing that they were like mothers and daughters, Guo Jing didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Tore didn't say much. Later, he saw that Aunt Guo was good to Su Xueyun, so he spoke: "Aunt Guo, I will go back to the desert in a few days. I wonder if I can ask you to help take care of Hua Zheng?"
Aunt Guo thought Guo Jing had asked Su Xueyun for forgiveness, and said happily: "Of course, we are all a family, and I treat Hua Zheng like my own daughter."
Su Xueyun held Aunt Guo's hand and smiled and said, "This is what the aunt said. Don't think I'm going to drive me away in the future. Although my engagement with Guo Jing was terminated, our relationship will not change after years of getting along."
Aunt Guo looked at Guo Jing in confusion, then looked at Su Xueyun, "Why aren't you...you still have to terminate the engagement? Jing'er! How did Mother teach you?"
Seeing that Aunt Guo was about to get angry, Su Xueyun hurriedly grabbed her and forced her to smile and said, "Okay Aunt Guo, can you be a husband and wife and have to be destined to be a couple? I don't want everyone to be unhappy about this. Isn't everyone happy now? Guo Jing can be with the girl he likes in the future, and I will meet a husband who is dedicated to me. Don't be angry anymore. You and Guo Jing have finally reunited, so you should be happy."
Aunt Guo wiped her tears, "Why do I have such a miserable son in my life?"
Although the Six Monsters in Jiangnan felt that this was quite sorry for Su Xueyun, since the matter was resolved, they did not scold Guo Jing. Han Xiaoying was still persuading Aunt Guo, praising Guo Jing's filial piety, and talking about how much suffering Guo Jing suffered when he entered the Central Plains. Aunt Guo gradually stopped crying and felt sorry for Guo Jing. This matter was just forgot.
Su Xueyun sneered in her heart, knowing that these people had no insistence. If she didn't take the initiative to break off the engagement, she would be like what Hua Zheng remembered in the end. Everyone said she was sorry for her but still had to support Guo Jing. Their so-called justice principles were just for outsiders, which was ridiculous. But now it just happened that she took the initiative to take a step back, and the result was almost the same, but her situation was completely different. The people present had completely accepted her, and even liked her who was so "sensible".
After Aunt Guo calmed down, the few people began to wonder why Su Xueyun had to stay again since she broke off the engagement. Torre sighed heavily, and said the possible marriages that Su Xueyun had mentioned before, and then poured a bowl of wine to toast Aunt Guo, "Auntie, I know I'm troubled with you in this matter, but I have loved this sister since I was a child. I really don't want to see her being allowed to be taken care of by the auntie. When I go back and convince my father Khan or find a suitable candidate for Hua Zheng, I will come and pick her up."
Aunt Guo and Guo Jing immediately showed guilty expressions. Guo Jing remembered the panicked look when the Khan wanted to betroth Hua Zheng to Dushi. He immediately felt aroused in his heart and stood up and said, "Torrean, I said that I would not let the Khan send Hua Zheng to the marriage without saying anything."
Torre didn't even look at him, but just waited quietly for Aunt Guo's reply.
Aunt Guo sighed in her heart, knowing that her son had lost a good brother from childhood. She picked up the bowl and touched Torre neatly, and drank it all in one go. "Don't worry, this is also the case that our Guo family is sorry for Hua Zheng, and I will definitely take good care of Hua Zheng. When the matter here is over, we will settle down in the former house of Niujia Village. You can go there to find us."
"Thank you!"
Things were all said, but everyone's interest did not improve much, because Guo Jing changed his mind. Such a good princess would probably be sent to marry, so how could there be any happiness in the future? It was not until this time that they felt that Guo Jing was really sorry for Su Xueyun, and accidentally ruined the girl's life.
But now that things have come to this point, it is hard to say anything. After a while, Han Xiaoying whispered to Guo Jing to find out about Huang Rong's identity, "Jing'er, if you really like a girl, you will bring it back to your mother in a few days. If you are a good person, your mother will not be so sad."
Guo Jing finally showed joy on his face, "Master Seven, is it really OK?"
Han Xiaoying patted his shoulder lovingly, "Of course, as long as you live well, we won't blame you. But, let's talk to me first, who is that girl?"
Guo Jing felt a little embarrassed, "Her name is Huang Rong. She has helped me a lot since I came to Zhongyuan."
Han Xiaoying frowned, looking thoughtful. After a while, she looked at the senior brothers and said hesitantly: "Her surname is Huang? Wait, that day... Mei Chaofeng saw her... did he call her junior sister?"
Guo Jing nodded inexplicably.
But Ke Zhene suddenly reacted, and pointed at him with a crutch in anger, and said sternly: "Then isn't she the daughter of Huang Yaoshi? Are you going to marry Mei Chaofeng's junior sister?"
Guo Jing stood up at a loss, "I...I..."
Han Baoju said angrily: "Have you forgotten the grudge of your fifth master? No wonder that woman is so arrogant and rude. It turns out that she is Huang Laoxie's daughter. Huang Laoxie is a big devil who kills without blinking. If you want to marry his daughter, wouldn't you want to do evil with them?"
Guo Jing shook his head, a little anxious, "No, Rong'er is very good. Her father taught her so well and was also a good person."
"What good person? I think you are lard and you are so confused! You swear immediately now that you will not be allowed to meet that little witch in the future!" Ke Zhenye swears with a grudge.
Seeing this situation, Aunt Guo only said that Huang Rong and her family were not good people, and she was a little anxious, "Jing'er, can your master still harm you? Listen to your master quickly and don't see that girl again in the future."
