The Peasant Girl's Glory

Chapter 132 Candid
Shen Furong hurriedly said goodbye to Wang Wenan and Wang Qingxia, and quickly left behind Yu Chonglou.

……

After leaving the street where the Anping Mansion was located, Yu Zhonglou slowly stepped down, turned to Shen Furong and asked, "Why are you here?"

Shen Furong's eyes were somewhat indescribable, "Wang Wen'an brought me here."

She pondered it carefully, and even Meng Dao guessed a general idea.

This Wang Wen'an knew that her sister Wang Qingxia and Yu Chonglou had a private meeting in the bamboo forest, so she brought her here.

Fortunately, in Wang Wen'an's heart, he had long recognized that there was something between her and Yu Chonglou. Anyway, it was not as simple as the relationship between ordinary friends.

He brought her over. If he saw Wang Qingxia and Yu Chonglou kissing me and me, you would be sympathetic to me, so that she could recognize the reality and retreat in spite of difficulties.

But if Wang Qingxia and Yu Chonglou are both in love and sorrow, just like just now, she can clearly see Yu Chonglou's ruthlessness, so that she can respect Yu Chonglou and stay away.

Yu Chonglou stood there with a bruised nose and a swollen face, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered when he heard the words: "It's really a good calculus."

Shen Furong knew that Yu Chonglou had already guessed Wang Wenan's purpose, and also, if he didn't even have the ability to distinguish and identify, how could he, the uncle of Cheng'en, deal with the tortuous royal family and nobles?
Shen Furong paused, but said truthfully: "Although they are brothers and sisters, Wang Qingxia may not know Wang Wenan's thoughts. I can see that her feelings for you are real."

Yu Zhonglou frowned and said eagerly to Shen Furong:

"Don't misunderstand. You must listen to my explanation about this matter. I really have nothing to do with her. Those words... are just jokes from childhood, nothing to count."

Shen Furong lowered her eyes, "If it wasn't for worrying about her, why would you rush here?"

Yu Chonglou was shocked, and he stopped talking.

Seeing that he was stunned and did not speak, Shen Furong gently continued:
"Have you ever thought about how infatuated it is that a woman can be rejected for your fame and life? But you keep pushing her out, and in the end you can only hurt her completely.

Think about it, do you really have no feelings for her?If you are still obsessed, the one who hurts the most will always be the one you love the most. "

The expression on Yu Zhonglou's face became more and more stiff, and there was a vague sense of unease in his heart, as if he was about to suddenly lose something very important, he said bitterly:
"I said that I was going to marry you in Zhou Mansion, how could you push me to someone else?"

Shen Furong looked at him seriously, her voice was obviously very soft, but beside this noisy street, Yu Zhonglou could hear clearly:

"I know that you are sincere to me and really want to give me happiness, but you should know that a woman like me is not suitable for you.

But it's nothing. If you can't be a lover, you can still be a friend. As long as you don't dislike it, we will be forever confidants and friends, and the friendship will remain unchanged. "

Yu Chonglou's throat choked, as if a bitter chrysanthemum was stuck in his throat, and it was extremely astringent:

"You really just want to be my friend? Nothing else?"

"Nothing else!"

Shen Furong nodded firmly, "Wang Qingxia is a good girl, don't let her down, treat her well."

After she finished speaking, she gave Yu Chonglou a big smile and turned to leave.

Yu Chonglou looked at the back of her resolutely leaving, and closed his eyes in pain.

……

Shen Furong walked quickly towards the Zhou residence, still with a smile on her face, but her nose was a little sore.

The authorities are fascinated and bystanders are clear. Yu Chonglou may not have realized his feelings for Wang Qingxia, but she can see clearly that he looks like he is caught in feelings and does not know it.

As a conscientious friend, of course she would push him when he was confused, she couldn't just watch him realize it was too late, and regret the beginning.

However, I don't know why, she obviously did a good deed, but she was not happy at all, and she wanted to cry.

It's really rare to see someone as tall, rich and handsome as Yu Chonglou, but unfortunately it's not her Prince Charming.

Shen Furong took a deep breath and said to herself secretly:

come on!You have experienced such things as time-travel, so what are you afraid of?The rest of my life will be the same as before—everything is about money, and you can live well without a man.

Shen Furong thought about it with complicated thoughts along the way. When she was about to get to Zhou Mansion, she saw Li Yeyu and October waiting on the street, looking forward to it.

"girl!"

Seeing Shen Furong, the two rushed to her, "The girl is back!"

Shen Furong nodded at them, "Didn't I tell you to go home first? Why are you still standing here?"

October giggled and said, "I can't wait to tell the girl that there is good news."

Li Yeyu continued: "The eldest son has been appointed as a general - General Zhenwei! Specially granted to the general's mansion, you can walk in front of you."

Shen Furong smiled and said, "It's really good news. Let's congratulate him after two days."

Although Xiao Tianmo was not an official with real power, he was just a military officer, but it was also the glory of a military general.

The official position of a military general of the third rank, coupled with the soldiers and horses under his father, the Marquis of Zhenguo, cannot be underestimated.

Moreover, Xiao Tianmo himself is heroic and good at fighting, and has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements.

It was heard that this victory depended on Xiao Tianmo leading cavalry to attack the enemy's camp at night, burning the enemy's granary, and cutting off the way back, so that the soldiers could successfully repel the enemy.

For such a great achievement, being named a general is well deserved.

It's just that Shen Furong didn't expect that before they could congratulate them, there was a shocking news from the Marquis of Zhenguo - Marquis of Zhenguo passed away!

The whole city was shocked!

As the founder of the country, Xiao Jingnian, the marquis of Zhenguo, fought in the north and south all his life, and he was born and died. He was a great founding hero who helped the emperor to conquer half of the country. , has long been famous and famous.

After his death, all the people in the city wept bitterly, and even the emperor was deeply saddened, so he gave the posthumous title of Marquis of Zhenguo "Wu" to show his merit, and chose a day for his funeral.

***

The door of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion was open, and plain white linen was adorned everywhere. The two white paper lanterns at the door were blown by the wind and kept ringing.

The crowd was densely packed, with plain white curtains and plain white gauze flowers everywhere, and even the pair at the door were covered with plain white cloth.

In the mourning hall, the shadows were heavy, and the plain white curtains rolled with the wind.

Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Zhang, and her son Xiao Junyan, dressed in burlap and filial piety, knelt in a corner of the mourning hall.

After a while, Xiao Tianmo, who was full of anger, rushed into the door.

His eyes were red, he strode forward and grabbed Xiao Junyan by the front of the shirt, suddenly lifted Xiao Junyan, and said angrily, "Does my father's death have anything to do with you?"

Xiao Junyan looked back at him without any emotion, "Isn't your father my father? Although my father was partial to you during his lifetime, I am not reconciled, but when he died, Zhenguohou's mansion lost the most. What is the benefit to me?"

Xiao Tianmo's scarlet eyes stared at Xiao Junyan, and those bloodthirsty eyes seemed to devour him alive.
