MTL - Drunk House-Chapter 38 Apologize (one more)

  Chapter 38 Apology (one more)

  Su Rong's roast chicken has been improved through countless experiments from childhood to adulthood. Naturally, it is extremely delicious and fragrant in Phoenix Mountain.

  Zhou Gu has never tasted delicacies from mountains and seas, but he tasted amazing from a roasted pheasant in the mountains. If he hadn't cared about the demeanor carved into his bones that he had learned since childhood, he might have jumped around the poinciana tree three times with the roasted pheasant.

   Su Rong asked him, "Is it delicious?"

  Zhou Gu eats deliciously, nodding repeatedly, "It's delicious."

  Su Rong tilted her head and smiled, "As long as you like it."

   Zhou Gu nodded again, "I like it."

  In the end, Su Rong ate half a chicken, and Zhou Gu ate one and a half. The two of them cried greedily for the guards who came here today. They also caught pheasants and roasted them, but the food tasted like chewing gum, and their faces were full of bitterness. Naturally, these guards have never done this before. The food in the Duke Protector's Mansion has never been bad. They go out with the master, and they can eat good food with money. But in this barren mountain, they have no money to spend. It is the first time to cook this kind of thing, naturally no one can do it well.

  After eating and drinking, Zhou Gu didn't want to move, so he said to Su Rong, "I really want to sleep."

  Su Rong pointed to the trunk, "Go to sleep on the tree?"

   "How can I sleep?" Zhou Gu wondered.

   "I can sleep, I tried." Su Rong said seriously: "And it's very comfortable."

   Zhou Gu didn't believe it.

  Su Rong turned around and found a tree, climbed up in twos or twos, and then lay down on the wide branch of the tree trunk, with one foot propped on the trunk as a fulcrum, one foot stretched out, her arms behind her head as a pillow, and her eyes closed, she looked really comfortable enough to fall asleep.

  Zhou Gu paused for a while, and found a trunk next to Su Rong's tree, climbed up the tree, and lay down like her, and found that it was not intolerable.

  So, he also closed his eyes, "Then I really fell asleep? Wouldn't I fall asleep and fall?"

  Su Rong didn't answer him.

  Zhou Gu turned his head to look at Su Rong, and was shocked to find that Su Rong had fallen asleep, breathing evenly, and sleeping peacefully, just like when he was on the boat on the lake, he was talking to him one moment, and fell asleep the next moment, the speed of falling asleep was unmatched by him.

  Zhou Gu's mood is extremely complicated. With such a big heart, he probably doesn't care about his fiancé at all, otherwise he wouldn't always leave him alone, but he would fall asleep quickly. As far as he knows, all those women in the capital who are engaged to be married are always concerned about their manners in front of their fiancés, and they will definitely not be like Su Rong, who is very casual in front of him.

  He retracted his gaze, closed his eyes, and thought about those women who were so rigid that they were polite.

  Su Rong and Zhou Gu ate and drank enough to sleep here, but the Jiangning County Prefect's Mansion was very lively.

  Jiangzhou Inspector, together with his wife, Ning Chi and Jiang Yunying, prepared rich gifts and went to the prefect's mansion to make amends to Zhou Gu. A group of people set off before dawn, and when they arrived at the prefect's mansion, it was almost noon.

   After all, Taishou Su is an official under the governor of Jiangzhou, so when he heard that Jiang Sheng and his wife and the prince of Anping Palace were coming, he naturally couldn't take Qiao Nada, so he quickly came out to greet him personally and welcomed him into the Taishou's mansion.

  The governor’s wife was very upset, but she still pretended to be affectionate, and said to the eldest lady: "I was wrong last time. I misunderstood you and your Miss Seventh. This time I came here to apologize to you and Miss Seventh."

  The eldest lady thought that she would never wait for Mrs. Governor to make an apology, but she did not expect that in just three years, she really did. Thanks to Zhou Gu, she pretended to smile, "What did Madam say? Why don't we make amends? What are our identities and our Xiaoqi's, and what is it worthy of Madam's words of apology?"

  The governor's wife froze, and she wanted to turn around and leave, but she knew that she couldn't leave, because Zhou Gu had a marriage contract with Su Rong, Zhou Gu now lives in Jiangning County's prefect's mansion, and the status of the eldest lady has also risen with the tide, she dared not throw face at her again.

  Then, the governor's wife hurriedly said: "I was wrong, so naturally I have to make an apology. Today, not only did I prepare an apology ceremony for Mr. Zhou, but also an apology ceremony for my wife and Miss Seven."

   She was afraid of hearing the words of the eldest lady who hurt her again, so she quickly took out the gift list from her sleeve, "This is the gift list."

  The eldest lady refused to answer, "Oh, madam is serious, I can't afford it."

  She sighed as she recalled, "I think back then, when my little girl came back, she cried for more than a month, and didn't dare to go out for half a year, because every time she went out, everyone laughed at her, saying that she wanted to climb high branches and go crazy, disregarded her face, and took love with a knife. It was extremely disgusting. How could she bear such ugly words as a young daughter? She almost wanted death. If I hadn't had people take turns watching her, she might have already..."

  The eldest lady's eyes were red, "Hey, who made me and his father incompetent, I can only be bullied by others."

   These words made it clear that Mrs. Governor was bullying others by virtue of her status.

   Mrs. Governor's face was very uncomfortable for a moment, green and red, very exciting, she thought to herself, bah, that little Su Rong will seek life and death? Will cry for a month? Will you be sad and unable to bear the harsh words? Will not go out for half a year? She was talking nonsense with her eyes open, Su Rong wouldn't even shed a single tear when her daughter cried to death.

  She took out another gift list from her sleeve, gritted her teeth and said, "These three shops are my dowry, and this is the deed."

  The eldest lady still shook her head, "Hey, madam, our family is not the kind of people with shallow eyes. I never thought that my wife would come to the door to apologize for the grievances that Xiaoqi suffered back then. Please take it back, my lady! Fortunately, the Protector's House didn't know about it, and I didn't let anyone write to the old man. It's really impossible to get on the stage. How can I defile the old man's ears? Therefore, the old man never knew about it. Now that the past happened, let it go. There is no need to mention Madam."

   Mrs. Governor thought to herself, what you said is so beautiful, if I really believe you, I would be a fool. She gritted her teeth again and gave the big maid beside her a wink. The big maid immediately stepped forward and handed over another land deed, "This is a village in Nanshan, with an orchard of 50 mu."

  She was in so much pain, "You must accept it, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

  The eldest madam is really a little moved, such a heavy compensation, it can be seen that the governor's mansion is bleeding home, this is only for Su Rong, not for Zhou Gu, she is satisfied, at least the place where the governor's wife pointed at her nose and scolded her three years ago has been recovered.

  She was relieved, but she didn't take the things. She stretched out her hand and pushed Mrs. Governor's hand back, "Xiaoqi is not in the mansion today, and went out to play with Young Master Zhou. Sister, you know, I have never been her master. I can't accept this gift."
