In the quiet of the night, Aunt Liu was sitting alone in front of the dressing table, carefully taking care of her black hair. There are many beauties, and she is no exception. Although she is thirty-four years old, she has no trace of fineness on her face because she has taken good care of herself.
The only mark that time has left on her body is that after giving birth to two children, her hair has fallen out more and more, so that she is now particularly concerned about her hair, and even the most favored girl around her cannot touch her.
hair.
"Auntie, it seems that the master's party has ended." The person who spoke was Luzhi, the eldest girl next to Aunt Liu. She had been standing by the attic window observing the lanterns in the yard, and saw that the lanterns there were gradually extinguished.
, immediately turned his head and reported to Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu was combing her hair without stopping, "Have you brought out the deer blood wine that I love to drink the most?"
Luzhi nodded hurriedly, "It has been warmed and placed in the drawer. Auntie can use it at any time."
Aunt Liu nodded slightly, with a bit of pride flashing in her eyes. Calculating the time, her Ying'er should have received Shi Chunfen's "understanding" and would continue to stay in Chu's house at Chu Yan's discretion, although she was confused about the whole thing.
She didn't come forward, but she was confident that she could get the result she wanted. No wonder Shi Chunquin was too stupid to naively believe that a mother would be willing to send her daughter away. She didn't want to go against her, but who was Chu Ling?
Protecting her like this, in order to prevent Chu Ling from having any quarrel with the mother and daughter, she could only use this method to alienate his relationship with Shi Chunfen.
It would be best if, like Chu Yan, he believed that the whole thing was forced by the Spring Equinox and forced her to send her daughter away.
Even if he didn't believe it, Shi Chunfen suffered a dumb loss from her, and he would definitely have a bad relationship with him in the future.
Chu Ying was always his sister. She didn't believe that Chu Ling could be so cruel and abandon his sister for the sake of a woman.
As for the spring equinox, she could say in the future that the whole thing was Chu Ying's idea. She didn't want to be sent to Liuzhuang, so she went to beg her father. After that, Chu Yan refused to believe her explanation, and she didn't either.
Method.
With Shi Chun Equinox's stupid temperament, she would probably just consider herself unlucky. Even if she was unwilling to do so, there was nothing she could do to them.
The whole thing was like killing three birds with one stone. It not only saved Chu Ying, but also alienated the relationship between Shi Chunfen and Chu Ling, and also gained Chu Yan's pity. Aunt Liu felt that her move was too good, too good.
.
It's a pity that the head of Huating County is not here, otherwise she would still be able to think of ways to add fuel to the huge chessboard...
Just as Aunt Liu expected, not long after the lanterns in the yard were extinguished, Chu Yan's footsteps sounded on the stairs outside the attic, arriving step by step at the door of the room. Just when she thought he would open the door and come in, the other party
His footsteps stopped, and he could vaguely hear a heavy sigh.
Her heart sank, and she looked at Lvzhi who was at a loss. Both of them felt uneasy that the development of the matter seemed to be beyond their imagination.
But if Chu Yan didn't come in, they couldn't just run out and ask. They could only stand there calmly and pretend not to notice his arrival.
I don’t know how long he hesitated, but Chu Yan finally opened the door and walked in. Aunt Liu stood up pretending to be surprised, "Master!"
Chu Yan's eyes flickered, and he touched his nose guiltily, "Why are you still up so late?"
Because she had to pretend that she didn't know what Chu Ying was begging him for, Aunt Liu answered naturally: "Luzhi saw that the master's yard was brightly lit, so he was afraid that something would happen, so he never dared to turn off the lights." As she said this, she
After a pause, he pretended to be confused and said: "By the way, what happened? It seems that the master rarely comes to see me so late?"
Chu Yan let out a long sigh. He had never felt so sad. Because of Aunt Liu's family background, he had always felt that he owed her all these years, so he had always treated her and his two daughters like jewels, just to think of them.
Tell them that even if she is his concubine, she may not be worse than other people's wives.
Fortunately, Aunt Liu has been very contented over the years and has never looked down upon herself because of her status as an aunt. She has been working hard to live in harmony with the Lord of Huating County, allowing him to enjoy the blessings of being together for so many years.
He originally thought that he could protect the three of them, mother and daughter, for the rest of their lives, but he didn't expect that Chu Ling would break the balance so quickly. He wanted to send Chu Ying away, which was undoubtedly a stab in Aunt Liu's heart. This made him a father.
, how will he face his beloved woman in the future?
Seeing his silence, Aunt Liu's heart dropped. She never expected that Chu Ling would unconditionally believe in Shi Chunfen and protect her. This made all her calculations about people's hearts become a joke.
What she fears most in her life is not how smart her enemies are, nor how powerful their opponents are, but that those she fears will always be unconditionally protected by others.
For example, Chu Yan versus the head of Huating County, or Chu Ling versus the Spring Equinox...
It is obvious that one of them is delicate and the other is stupid, but they can always be protected in the palm of their hands easily.
Instead, she offered gentle explanations and tried her best, but she could only become someone else's alternative.
She is unwilling to give in, so unwilling!
Probably because he felt that the matter had to come to an end, Chu Yan struggled for a long time, and finally said: "I already know that you are sending Yinger to Liuzhuang. Have you decided on a day to set off?"
He asked what day he was going to leave, instead of giving it another thought.
Aunt Liu lowered her eyes and a wry smile appeared on her lips, "Of course the sooner the better, so as not to make it difficult for Aling to do it."
Her tone was low, but she didn't mean to fight. Chu Yan was slightly startled, and he felt more affectionate in his heart, "You...you don't have to wrong yourself so much. A Ling will always be your junior."
Aunt Liu raised her eyes, her eyes were red and full of tears, but they were always held in her eyes, as if she couldn't let them fall off. She looked extremely pitiful, "Master, I am not wronged, the whole thing
It's Yinger's fault. I can't blame anyone else. I'm just a little sad. As a mother, I didn't teach Yinger well. Now she is going to be sent to Liuzhuang and can no longer live happily with Qian'er. Will the master blame me for not being enough?
Responsible?"
"No, of course not!" Chu Yan said quickly: "If you can't even be considered responsible, then who am I as a father?" As he said that, he hugged Aunt Liu into his arms and hesitated.
He said: "On the contrary, I want to ask you, if I failed to keep Ying'er, will you blame me?"
Aunt Liu leaned in his arms and shed tears, "A loving mother often loses her son. I am doing this to make Yinger realize her mistake. When she changes her ways in the future, it will not be too late for us to take her back."
"That's true." Chu Yan sighed, as if he had found an excuse for his incompetence, "It's not like she won't come back. When she comes back, let's just make it up to her."
