After a few breaths, Liu Chengqian felt his father's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Looking at my father's calm and indifferent expression, although I didn't make any mistakes, I still couldn't help but feel a little panicked in my heart.
After a while, Liu Chengqian took a long breath with a bitter expression.
"Dad, I said, can't I say that?"
Young Master Liu gave Liu Chengqian a knowing look, then turned around and walked forward again.
Liu Chengqian followed Young Master Liu, with a hint of memory in his eyes.
"Dad, the reason why Hai'er met Zhou Tong'er, a silly woman, happened more than eight years ago in the second year of Yongping,"
Young Master Liu paused slightly while smoking, and looked at Liu Chengqian with a surprised look on his face.
"The second year of Yongping?"
"Yes, it was the second year of Yongping when my cousin Li Ye was still in power.
In March of the second year of Yongping, your father ordered your eldest brother, second brother and children to follow the Northern Expedition Army to conquer the Jin and Tu countries.
Dad, you should still remember this past event, right?"
Mr. Liu narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time, then nodded sadly.
"Of course I remember that I, the Six Guards of the Northern Territory of Dalong, the Six Guards of the New Army, the Anxi Protectorate Guards, and the Allied Forces of the Western Regions, with a total of one million troops, marched north to conquer the two countries of Jin and Tu. How could my father forget such an important matter? Woolen cloth.
My father clearly remembered that the army set off on March 20th.
When the army went to war, my father took your mother and several of your aunts to Shanhaiguan to say goodbye to you!
But, what does this matter have to do with you, Zhou Tong'er, and what happened between you two?"
Liu Chengqian looked at his father's puzzled expression, raised his hands and rubbed his face vigorously a few times, and smiled bitterly in embarrassment.
"Dad, you don't know something. The key reason why Hai'er and Zhou Tong'er know each other is because of this incident.
Before the Northern Expedition set off, Uncle Zhou Baoyu held a banquet at his home.
That day, the three of us brothers also went to the banquet.
At the banquet, Uncle Cheng Kai and the others kept pouring wine on the three of us brothers.
As soon as the three of us brothers refused, they would yell, "How can a man do it without drinking?"
The drinking capacity of each of them is stronger than the other, and the three of us brothers are no match at all.
After several jars of wine were poured down, the child became drunk.
Later, when I went out for a convenience, I walked into the inner courtyard of Uncle Zhou's house in a daze.
Then...then..."
As Liu Chengqian spoke, he frowned in embarrassment.
Liu Dashao saw Liu Chengqian's embarrassed expression. After thinking for a moment, he vaguely guessed what happened next.
Young Master Liu turned sideways and blew out the smoke from his mouth, with a faint smile flashing in his eyes.
"What happened next? Keep talking."
"At that time, the child was drunk and dizzy, and accidentally entered Zhou Tong'er's boudoir.
When the child entered her room, Zhou Tong'er was taking a bath in the room.
So, I accidentally saw her body."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows and asked subconsciously: "Look at everything... Uh-huh... I see.
When Tong Yatou was chasing you with an ax earlier, she said you saw her body, was it because of what happened that day?"
Liu Chengqian's face froze, and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times.
"Dad, you...you heard everything?"
"As a father, I am not deaf. The two of you spoke so loudly at that time. It would be strange if, as a father, I couldn't hear you."
When Liu Chengqian saw his father pretending to be serious, his face became more and more embarrassed.
"Dad, this is probably what happened between Hai'er and Zhou Tong'er.
Speaking of which, it was really just a misunderstanding.
Although I was not completely drunk that day, I was already dizzy from drinking.
If I had known at that time that the room was Zhou Tong'er's boudoir, I would never have walked in."
As Liu Chengqian spoke, his face couldn't help but become depressed.
Young Master Liu saw the depressed look on Liu Chengqian's face and rolled his eyes angrily.
You bastard, you are so fucking good at getting a cheap deal.
After cursing in his mind, Master Liu suddenly thought of something and immediately turned to look at Liu Chengqian.
"That's not right."
"Dad? What's wrong?"
"Girl Tong is Zhou Baoyu's daughter. Based on Zhou Baoyu's status at that time, this girl was a lady from a famous family.
As a lady, how could she not have a personal maid by her side?
When she was bathing and changing clothes in her room, even if she didn't bolt the door, there must at least be a maid guarding her outside the room, right?
When you entered her room, her personal maid didn't stop you?"
Seeing the doubtful look on his father's face, Liu Chengqian spread his hands helplessly.
"Dad, you are right, Zhou Tong'er does have a personal maid.
However, when Hai'er walked outside Zhou Tong'er's room, her personal maid happened to go to the kitchen to get a replacement of hot water.
As luck would have it, she neither bolted the door nor had her personal maid guarding it at that time.
Alas, it’s just bad luck!”
Young Master Liu heard Liu Chengqian's helpless tone and sneered angrily.
"Haha, go to hell."
"father!"
"Okay, okay, go on."
"Zhou Tong'er won't talk about the specific situation after she sees me.
Dad, you don’t have to think about it, you should know what kind of scene will happen at that time.”
Young Master Liu nodded with a clear expression and stretched out his hand to knock out the ashes from the smoke pot on the pillar beside him.
"I understand, please continue talking."
“At that time, she gave a piercing scream that scared me out of my drunken state.
By the time I realized what I was doing and wanted to run away, it was already too late.
Later, Zhou Tong'er took her sword and gave the child two paths for me to choose.
One is that she killed me on the spot and then committed suicide to preserve her innocence as her daughter's family.
The second is to make the child responsible and marry her in the future.
At that time, I really had no choice but to take the second option and promised her that I would marry her in the future."
"What's going on with that heartless man who deceives money and sex?"
After hearing his father's question, Liu Chengqian was silent for a moment and sighed helplessly.
"After Hai'er and Zhou Tong'er made an agreement with each other, they naturally did not dare to stay in her boudoir for a long time.
By then, if outsiders find out what happened between the two of us, how will Zhou Tonger behave in the future?
At first, the child thought that nothing would happen after leaving Zhou Tong'er's boudoir.
It's a pity that Zhou Tong'er is not a stupid girl either.
Seeing how readily I agreed, she immediately guessed what I was thinking.
