"The person standing in front of you now is no longer the former Jiang Yao Niang, and we are no longer in Qingshui Town. You can get the top prize. You have a smart mind. Can't you see the situation in front of you clearly?"
She continued vigorously: "It is impossible for me to marry you. Even if there is no eldest princess palace, there is still the Gao family. The eldest girl of the Gao family is passionate about you. Mr. Gao frequently extends an olive branch to you, but you turn your back and die together with the little prince."
If you kowtow to the Xie family, what will the Gao family think, and what will the eldest girl from the Gao family think? Do you think the Xie family will risk enmity with the Gao family and really agree to your marriage proposal?"
Seeing that he only looked at her and said nothing, Xie Songhua couldn't bear it, "So, give up! The sooner..."
"Is this what you mean?" Chen Liu suddenly interrupted her, "Is this what you think from the bottom of your heart?"
Xie Songhua nodded seriously, "Yes."
"Why?" Chen Liu's eyes were locked firmly on hers, making it impossible for her to escape.
"Why else...?"
"Why are you different from before?" Chen Liu interrupted her again and asked a question that caught Xie Songhua off guard.
"Yao Niang, what have you experienced in the half year since you returned to Xie's family?" Chen Liu took a step closer to her, "Since we met again, I have noticed that you have changed a lot. Ya Niang was not so sensible before.
She is not so calm either. When she encounters something, she will be scared, cry, and curse... Yao Niang, what's wrong with you?"
Xie Songhua finally understood why Chen Liu always looked at her with a bit of heartache.
That was his secret concern, but she didn't understand it. Even though she had all the memories, she was not that person after all.
Xie Songhua sighed softly in his heart, but he could only sigh a pity.
She gathered her emotions, raised her chin, and smiled at him, "It's nothing, but people will always grow, especially when the environment in which they live has undergone tremendous changes, I just grow.
That’s it, what about you?”
Xie Songhua finally took the initiative in speaking, "Now that you have arrived in the capital and entered the officialdom, you have changed from a scholar to a courtier in my Daqi Dynasty. Are you ready?"
Such a question was also beyond Chen Liu's expectation. He stared blankly at the girl in front of him and did not answer for a while.
"Chen Liu, you studied hard in the cold window not just for you. Behind you are your parents and your family. Have you forgotten how they worked in the scorching sun and cold wind when you were sitting in the school?
?”
These words made Chen Liu even more speechless, and when he looked at Xie Songhua, his eyes finally showed a hint of helpless dejection.
Xie Songhua couldn't bear it. No matter how mature Chen Liu looked, he was still a young man under twenty years old.
She thought for a while, then patted his arm gently, "I know you care about me, and I also know your thoughts, but now that we have reached this point, things are not something you and I can control. We should all live better.
, for those we care about and the people who care about us, right?”
Chen Liu slowly lowered his eyes, and after a long while, he raised his eyes to look at her again, "So what about you? Are you really going to marry that little prince? He doesn't really care about you."
"I know." Xie Songhua showed him a relaxed smile, "I can't. I'm very touched that you want to protect me, but don't forget whose daughter I am. I am the legitimate daughter of the second minister of the dynasty.
, my grandfather was an imperial master.
Based on this alone, it will not be easy for the young prince to marry me. In fact, in comparison, I am safer than you. Although the choices are limited, at least I still have some choices."
She didn't say this clearly. With Chen Liu's intelligence, how could he not understand it?
Chen Liu finally raised his eyes again. This time, there was a little sadness in his eyes, "After all, I failed you."
Where did this start?
Xie Songhua waved his hands quickly, "No! Don't think like that. No one has betrayed anyone, it's just that it's inappropriate now..."
But Chen Liu obviously didn't listen to her words. He took a step back and then said seriously: "But you will always be the girl I know, and I will work hard to become stronger."
After saying that, without waiting for Xie Songhua to say anything, he turned around and left.
Xie Songhua looked at his back and his slightly stiff right hand with mixed feelings in his heart.
"So you have someone you like! Then why do you want to cooperate with me?"
When Ye Rongshi's voice appeared, she was startled. When she looked up, she found that he was actually on the roof hidden by the trees.
"You...when did you come?" He said and looked at the direction Chen Liu left, "Did you hear everything?"
"I'm not deaf, and you didn't whisper, how could I not hear you?"
After he finished speaking, he jumped off the roof, but accidentally stepped on the drainage ditch nearby. If Xie Songhua hadn't helped him, he might have fallen flat on his back.
"What are you doing here?"
Faced with Xie Songhua's cold and indifferent attitude, Ye Rongshi was a little unhappy, "You have a little conscience, okay? I sneaked out from home, and I haven't heard that the little prince went to the palace to marry you.
Already."
Seeing her still calm look, Ye Rongshi couldn't help but stare at her carefully, "What's your attitude? Chen Liu can't save you, why don't you ask me for help quickly?"
These words made Xie Songhua stop in his tracks, "Do you have any idea?"
"I was thinking about it today, otherwise..." He looked a little embarrassed and moved closer, "Or else we...be shameless and make a big deal?"
Xie Songhua's expectation suddenly froze on his face, "You really know how to come up with ideas!"
"Anyway, I'll just marry you!" Ye Rongshi saw that she was going back to Yanchuntai and quickly chased after her, "And after you get married, I will definitely help you! I won't let my family slander you.
"
Xie Songhua felt that he was just here to get involved, "Forget it, your mother is going to scare me after something like this happened. You still want to ruin my reputation! If you really get married, I'm afraid it's just a matter of time."
Making rules can make me lose my skin."
Ye Rong was at a loss for a moment and just sighed.
Xie Songhua had no choice but to smile and say: "Okay, okay, you don't really want to marry me. Our business cannot be done in a righteous way. In any case, you and I are friends who keep each other's secrets! You don't want to marry me.
Get involved so that you don't scare your parents so much."
Speaking of the British father-in-law and his wife, Ye Rongshi hesitated for a moment, but finally bowed to her seriously and said, "I want to apologize to you about my parents breaking the contract."
Xie Songhua looked at him, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay! I accept it."
"real?"
She nodded very seriously, "Yes! So, this matter is over here. Anyway, I wish you a smooth marriage!"
But Xie Songhua didn't expect that when Ye Rong was comforted here, Xie Wenhua over there was restless.
During this period of time, he was the most restless person in the whole house. He came back from a fight with someone in the camp not long ago. He was supposed to stay at home for a while, but unexpectedly he ran out again.
As for where he went, even An didn't know. He only said that he went to stay at the home of his comrades.
As for who this comrade is, God knows.
Who wants to hear the news about this guy again? He actually had a fight with the little county prince, and the fight was made known to everyone, all because he was fighting for a brothel oiran!
