Chen Heng had been sitting in the same posture for an entire hour with the book in his hand.
The movements did not change, and the pages of the book did not turn.
He couldn't figure out why he and Su Luo ended up like this.
Obviously before Su Luo left Zhenninghou Mansion, he still remembered that Su Luo came to him and looked at him cautiously with a flattering smile, and asked him if he wanted to eat hibiscus cake.
At that time, he was in a hurry to go to Jinnan because of the incident at Jinnan Pier. He didn't have time to talk to her, so he waved his hands in annoyance and said he didn't want to eat.
Chen Heng originally thought that he had forgotten these trivial matters.
But sitting here today, when I think about it, I realize that he still remembers it all.
He remembered that Su Luo was wearing a goose-yellow dress that day. It was freezing cold, and the dress seemed to be quilted.
In the mansion, not to mention the master, even the more respectable maids and mothers all have fur collars, but Su Luo doesn't even have a cotton coat?
Her face was red from the cold, and the tip of her nose was also red.
I didn't know how long I stood in the snow rubbing my hands. When I saw him coming, I greeted him with timid joy on my face and asked him in a low voice if he wanted to eat hibiscus cake.
Chen Heng didn't pay attention at the time, but now he remembers clearly that when he said he wouldn't eat, he strode away, and the sadness in Su Luo's eyes was so obvious.
Chen Heng felt as if his heart had been stung by something, or as if his heart had been covered with oil paper, making it uncomfortable.
Su Luo must have been very sad at that time.
Chen Heng clenched his fists, his handsome face looking gloomy. He regretted that if he had said to eat at that time, it would have been different.
Will Su Luo not leave? She will stay and make hibiscus cakes for him. She obviously likes him so much and her eyes light up when she looks at him.
Chen Heng still remembers that he just went to Jinnan for a business trip and only left for two days. When he came back, he was told that Su Luo had left with Su Zimu. At that time, he was so angry that he could start a prairie fire.
He was fed up with her ignorance, but he was also extremely worried. He didn't even slow down his tone, and turned around to find someone.
He thought he had found the person, coaxed him, and then let it go.
But he didn't even coax people well.
On the day Su Luo's parents died, plum blossoms were in full bloom in the yard, so he bought a necklace with plum blossom patterns carved on it.
He must have broken her heart.
She was such a good fiancée, she liked him so much and always looked at him with eager expectation. Now, she lost her to him and became the sworn enemy of the future princess.
Chen Heng's heart was almost broken.
His fists clenched tighter and tighter, the veins on the back of his hands bulged high, and the anger swarming in his heart made his face look even more ugly.
Jin Bao stood on one side, feeling very distressed.
"Master, take a rest early."
Chen Heng held the book but did not move it. He glanced at Jin Bao lightly, "Tell me, does she really like Xiao Yu?"
Jin Bao pursed his lips and wanted to say, it should be.
He had seen Miss Su look at Xiao Yu with passionate eyes. During his five years in Zhenninghou Mansion, at least he had never seen Miss Su look at Chen Heng like this.
When Miss Su looked at their eldest son, her eyes were also filled with joy, but her joy was more filled with expectation and timidity.
Looking at Xiaoyu now, it is bright and warm.
But Chen Heng had been sitting here for more than an hour. He hadn't eaten much all day, and his face looked ugly. Jinbao couldn't bear to say this.
He just said: "Miss Su and Prince Nanhuai have known each other for only a few months."
Chen Heng was like a fish in urgent need of someone to replenish his water, and Jin Bao's words just gave him the little uneasiness he desperately needed.
He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was sure, and seemed to comfort himself, "There are only five years between her and me, Xiao Yu is nothing!"
Jinbao moved the corners of his mouth but said nothing.
Just as he was talking, the boy outside suddenly called back, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's wife would like to see you."
Disgust instantly appeared on Chen Heng's face, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night without sleeping? I don't have time..."
"Madam, madam, you can't..."
Chen Heng's irritable voice and the eager voice of the boy outside the door sounded almost at the same time, and were interrupted by the sound of the door slamming at the same time.
Gu Yao came in from outside.
"What are you doing!" Chen Heng frowned and looked at her with a displeased face, "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
Gu Yao's heart was trembling, but there was disguised regret on her face.
"I know that my cousin likes Su Luo in his heart. I was jealous of Su Luo in the past and did something wrong. Now I have seriously reflected on it. I can't be too selfish. I can't prevent my cousin from liking me just because I like him.
Su Luo."
Chen Heng thought Gu Yao was harassing her again, but he didn't expect her to say such words.
He was a little stunned and looked at her.
Gu Yao sighed.
"Su Luo is going to marry the King of Nanhuai. My cousin feels uncomfortable. I see my cousin feeling uncomfortable, and I feel uncomfortable too. I came here to tell my cousin sincerely that I accept Su Luo."
Chen Heng sneered.
"You accepted Su Luo? What a noble statement! You accepted it, so what, then? What I lost and what Su Luo suffered can be written off!"
Gu Yao shook her head, "Cousin, I am not here today to quarrel with you. I know you are reluctant to let go of Su Luo, so I racked my brains to think of a way to prevent Su Luo from marrying the King of Nanhuai and let her return.
In our house, when the time comes, my cousin will raise her to be his equal wife, and she and I will serve my cousin together."
Chen Heng looked at Gu Yao dumbfounded, "What's your idea?"
Gu Yao smiled bitterly, "My cousin doesn't believe me? What ideas can I have? What good will it do to me to let her go back to Zhenninghou Mansion? I just can't bear to leave my cousin because she is so sad. These days, my cousin can see it with the naked eye."
I feel bad for losing weight.
As much as my cousin can't let go of her, I feel sorry for my cousin.
I don't say that I can tolerate her, but for the sake of my cousin, I am willing to give in.
I have an idea here, I can’t guarantee whether it will work, but my cousin might as well give it a listen.”
Chen Heng looked at Gu Yao and said nothing.
Gu Yao didn't care and said: "Princess Yunxia in the palace likes King Nanhuai. She wholeheartedly wants to be the princess of Nanhuai. Now that King Nanhuai suddenly wants to marry Su Luo, she can't help but feel a little upset.
If Princess Yunxia is allowed to hold a flower-viewing banquet in the palace, and invites famous ladies from Kyoto, as long as Su Luo and her cousin can meet in private at the flower-viewing banquet, Princess Yunxia must be happy.
After meeting each other, if my cousin can get along with Su Luo..."
Gu Yao stopped talking and did not continue. She just said: "At that time, Su Luo will still belong to my cousin. Although his methods are a bit disdainful, now there are only a few days left before the wedding of Su Luo and the King of Nanhuai.
This is the most effective.
Please consider it if your cousin wants to give it a try. If you are willing, I can contact Princess Yunxia and arrange the matter privately."
Chen Heng looked at Gu Yao with squinted eyes, was silent for a while, and said, "Why? Why are you doing this?"
Chen Heng's eyes were sharp, like an ice knife, looking straight at Gu Yao.
