Guo'er looked at Chengchun longingly, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "Sister, you must be lying!"
Chengchun was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and gently patted Guoer's shoulder: "What nonsense are you talking about! What did I lie to you!"
"When I came here, I asked people everywhere to find out. The person who jumped into the river and died was Cheng Chun, Su Xu Bai, Mr. Su's concubine, a woman from the south of the Yangtze River!" Guo'er grabbed Cheng Chun's hand and said,
Word by word, he said firmly, "Sister, why did you jump into the river?"
Chengchun looked at Guo'er in front of him and subconsciously wanted to take back his hand, but found that he couldn't break free. Guo'er, who once hugged her thigh and called her sister, has now grown up and is much stronger.
"Nothing. If I jumped into the river, how could I still stand here?" Chengchun tried to comfort Guo'er.
Guo'er stared at Chengchun and said seriously: "You faked your death to escape, right?"
Chengchun was speechless. She looked at Guo'er for a long time, but she couldn't refute him: "I..."
The stone on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked: "Ah Chun, your mother and I are here. If you have anything difficult, just tell us, and we will help you think of a solution!"
Chengchun looked at the anxious-looking married couple in front of him and Guoer. He hesitated for a long time, but finally smiled: "It's okay, it's really okay. Look at me, aren't I standing here just fine now? I'm okay."
Yes! Don’t listen to Guo’er’s nonsense, it’ll be okay!”
When Guo'er was about to say something, Cheng Chun stepped on his instep and shut up with a look of pain.
After finally comforting the married couple, Chengchun walked over to Guo'er, who was squatting aside and sulking: "Guo'er!"
"Huh!" Guo'er turned her head away, unwilling to pay attention to her.
"Guo'er!" Cheng Chun gently held Guo'er's hand, "You know, the tempers of father and mother. If they decide that I am suffering in the capital, they will take me back at any cost.
You also know that Su Xubai is an official, and his arms cannot twist his thighs. His parents are stubborn, so if he has to fight with them, it will still be the parents who suffer!"
Guo'er turned around helplessly. He looked at Chengchun in front of him. Although she was well dressed and looked like a distinguished family member, she had lost a lot of weight, and there was a bit more sadness in her eyebrows. She was no longer as before.
The joyful feeling I felt when I was in Zhuangzi was only filled with devastation.
"So, why did you jump into the river?" Guo'er looked at Chengchun, her eyes slightly red.
Chengchun hesitated for a long time, and then said softly: "You are right, I want to fake my death to escape. We are all children who grew up by the water. How could a little water drown me casually?"
"Is Su Xubai treating you badly?" Guoer stood up suddenly.
Chengchun was stunned for a moment, and quickly pulled him down: "What are you doing? Your parents saw it like this, and they thought something happened!"
Guo'er glanced at Chengchun, who was standing not far away, with a face full of anxiety: "I knew that a wealthy family like that was definitely not a good thing. Come back with us, and we'll go back to Taiping County together!"
"Guo'er, you are an adult now. You should understand that many things are not what we want to do!" Cheng Chun sighed a little decadently, "Su Xubai, he treats me very well, but
In this realm of the capital, it is a sin for me to be born a commoner and not have a family background. Even he can't protect me!"
As a result, Guoer gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"Since you guessed that I faked my death to escape, you should also be able to guess why I'm here!" Cheng Chun looked at Guo'er and said helplessly, "In this huge capital, there are connections everywhere.
If I want to leave here, I must have an identity, otherwise, I won’t even be able to get out of the city gate!"
"Is it possible that he still has to tie you up here! If it doesn't work, we will go to court. You are a good concubine, and you were not sold to their family. We haven't touched any of the betrothal gift we brought, and we have returned all of it.
It's not enough to give it to them!" Guo'er squeezed her hands tightly, her eyes full of anger.
"As a result, it's impossible for me to leave the capital!" Cheng Chun lowered his eyes, "My current identity is that of a dead person. If we really go to court, how can we outlast them?"
Guo'er's eyes were red. A young man of his age, who was in the prime of life, could only watch his favorite sister being wronged outside, but could not do anything to help. He felt very depressed.
, but there is no way.
Chengchun held Guo'er's hand: "I have saved a lot of money these days. When you go back, use this money to buy more land. If there is any leftover land, go to the town and buy a shop and rent it to
It’s the same for others! Guo’er, you are my natal family, you have to be tougher. When you are able to study in the future, you can come and take my sister back, okay!”
"I don't want your money!" Guo'er shook off Chengchun's hand, her eyes filled with tears, "What do I need your money for? It's already difficult for you here!"
"You don't want my money, you bought it for my sister. When my sister goes back later, she will have a place to build a house and have fertile land for farming!" Chengchun said quickly.
Guo'er looked at Chengchun in front of him, held it in for a long time, and suddenly said: "If, if I become an official, can you, can you go home with me?"
cannot!
Chengchun looked into Guo'er's eyes, held it in for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Yes, if one day my brother becomes an official and becomes an official, you can take me home as a human being, I'm afraid of you
At that time, I no longer looked down upon me as a concubine!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Guo'er said quickly, "You will always be my sister! You are living such a hard life now. In the final analysis, it is because of my incompetence as a younger brother!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Chengchun held Guo'er's face and said softly, "My brother is so good, so good, and so hardworking. He will definitely be a powerful person in the future. He will take care of his parents and sister. My brother is the best in the world.
Good brother!"
Guo'er, who had been holding back tears, finally couldn't help it after listening to Chengchun's words. He hugged Chengchun, like when he was a child and lost a fight outside, and leaned on her shoulder to cry.
, the tears kept falling as if they were free of money.
Cheng Chun touched Guo'er's head, feeling sour in his heart, but said nothing. The water in the capital was too deep, and if ordinary people got in it, they would be eaten without even the bones left.
