Chapter 241 Misunderstanding
A few days ago, Su Shirong returned to Youzhou. Zhou Shuangyi knew that he was back, so she wanted to give him something. Thinking that he had always liked the things she embroidered, he thought about making a pair of shoes for him. When Mrs. Zhou saw the pair of insoles, her shoes were already made, and the insoles were missing.
In order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, Zhou Shuangyi did not dare to send the shoes openly, but instead let Su Shirong come out and personally give them to him at the back door.
Then he was caught by Zhou Gu and Mrs. Zhou.
When Zhou Gu saw the familiar face, he was so shocked that he took a few steps back.
Mrs. Zhou didn't expect that the person was Su Shirong. She didn't know whether it was joy or anger for a moment. Since he had been interested in the girl from the Zhou family last year, why didn't he mention it?
Zhou Shuangyi was so panicked that she didn't know how to explain, and no one believed it.
Only Su Shirong's face was calm. He looked at the shoes in his hand. It was very dark and he could see the exquisite embroiderers on the shoes under the lights. Thinking of her pinching needle and threading needles, his expression was dazed for a moment, but he did not clarify immediately.
Zhou Shuangyi was so anxious that she burst into tears. She wanted to escape, but she was afraid of harming Su Shirong, so she could only wait for Zhou Gu's anger with a thorn.
When Nalan Jing arrived after hearing the news, the atmosphere was strangely quiet.
When Mrs. Zhou saw Nalan Jing, she pulled her aside and told the whole story. She was worried that Su Shirong would not want to marry Zhou Shuangyi.
Zhou Gu and Su Shirong are close friends, so it is obviously not suitable to ask such questions at this time. Even though he is eager to love his sister at this moment, he knows that once this matter is not resolved properly, it may affect the relationship between the two families.
Nalan Jing patted Mrs. Zhou on the back and signaled her not to be anxious. Then he walked to Zhou Shuangyi, put his arms around her shoulder, and asked her to go to Mrs. Zhou's side.
Zhou Shuangyi walked up to Mrs. Zhou ignorantly and shouted "Sister-in-law, don't be angry."
Mrs. Zhou felt sorry for Zhou Shuangyi and was angry. She no longer blamed her at this time and protected her behind her.
Su Shirong came to his senses in a daze. When he saw Nalan Jing, he respectfully lowered his head: "Princess."
Nalan Jing looked at the shoes in his hand, but the first sentence was: "Sister Shuangyi is a very good embroiderer, does the eldest son like it?"
Su Shirong looked at Nalan Jing with a dazed look.
It all means that people don’t say secret words. Nalan Jing asked him whether he liked it or not, just what he meant to Zhou Shuangyi.
As long as he denies it, she will deal with the aftermath.
Nalan Jing was not panicked when dealing with these things, and even at ease. Even Mrs. Zhou noticed it, and her panicked mood gradually calmed down and she looked at Su Shirong in a steady state.
Su Shirong looked at Zhou Shuangyi.
Zhou Shuangyi stood behind Mrs. Zhou, looking at him with guilt and unbearable eyes. She really never thought that it would cause him so much trouble.
Su Shirong withdrew his gaze, nodded, but said, "If Sister Shuangyi is interested, I will naturally like it."
What he meant was that Zhou Shuangyi was willing to marry, so he would naturally marry.
Nalan Jing turned around and glanced at Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, immediately understood and pulled Zhou Shuangyi into the house.
Nalan Jing looked at Zhou Gu again and said in a deep voice: "Miss Zhou's reputation must not be damaged. Brother Zhou has to make the decision on this matter. Why don't you two go to the mansion to discuss it in detail?"
Zhou Gu knew that Nalan Jing was reminding him that it was Zhou Shuangyi's lifelong event. If he pursued a pair of shoes and damaged Su Shirong's face, it would be a loss of friendship between the two families, and it would be more than worth the loss.
After Zhou Gu calmed down, he invited Su Shirong to the study.
Su Shirong took the box, put away the shoes, thanked Nalan Jing, and followed Zhou Gu and entered the study.
Nalan Jing did not follow her, so she went to Mrs. Zhou's bedroom.
Mrs. Zhou knew that she would come over. When she heard the news, she thought it was too slow to even ask others to open the door. She stood up and opened the door. When she saw Nalan Jing, she said excitedly: "Princess, come in, come in quickly..."
After Nalan Jing entered, he saw Zhou Shuangyi who was nervous behind Mrs. Zhou, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Sister Shuangyi, don't be nervous, this matter is not a big deal. I'll come over and ask you what you think."
Thoughts? Zhou Shuangyi understood vaguely, but said uneasy: "What did Brother Su say about this?"
She didn't want to make him embarrassed.
Mrs. Zhou glared at her: "At this time you are still thinking about others, why don't you care about yourself? What if he doesn't want to marry you..."
Zhou Shuangyi said seriously: "Sister-in-law, he doesn't want to marry him. I will never marry him. Don't force him. I want to give him shoes, but he doesn't know anything about it."
Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she wanted to scold people. She knew how important a woman's reputation was. She wanted to give her shoes. If this matter spreads, and there would be a good family to ask her in the future. Even if there is a person who really cares about past grudges and is unsuccessful to marry her, it would be difficult to guarantee that the old things would be brought up again after marriage. Wouldn't she suffer a loss and humiliation?
Mrs. Zhou wanted to teach her a lesson after she talked about Zhou Shuangyi, but Zhou Shuangyi had a weak temper and let her say everything. She lowered her face and said weakly: "Sister-in-law, I know I'm wrong. I won't be able to do it in the future. It's just that Brother Su is implicated by me. We must not force others."
"Oh, I'll say you kid..." Mrs. Zhou was so anxious that she wanted to pry her head open to see what was inside, so why didn't she understand what she meant.
She had never thought that Zhou Shuangyi would marry into the Su family before. Now this happened. Although Zhou Shuangyi has a bad reputation, it is also an opportunity, right?
With the friendship between Su Shirong and Zhou Gu, Zhou Shuangyi would only want to marry Su Shirong, but would Su Shirong not marry?
Zhou Shuangyi naturally understood what Mrs. Zhou meant. She shook her head: "Sister-in-law, this is wrong. Brother Su doesn't want to marry me, and I won't marry me either."
Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes in anger and looked back at Nalan Jing, with a helpless tone: "Princess, what should you do if you say this?"
Nalan Jing looked up at Zhou Shuangyi. Zhou Shuangyi's body was instantly tense, and her face was so low that it could be buried in her chest.
Nalan Jing didn't go around the circle and said directly: "The thing has happened. Your brother and sister-in-law will definitely handle this. Now I will ask you, if Su Shirong is willing to marry, would you like to marry?"
Zhou Shuangyi looked up in surprise and murmured: "Why do he want to?"
Nalan Jing also realized that she was a girl who was sensitive and inferior, so she said, "You are Zhou Gu's sister. They know each other for many years. Su Shirong has not married his wife, why can't you?"
Zhou Shuangyi lowered her head and said, "I am not as good as the daughters of those aristocratic families."
