When Young Master Liu heard what the third princess said, he also smiled and agreed.
"Cheng Qian, your mother is right.
As long as you two are in love, Tong Yatou, nothing else will matter.
As for your Uncle Zhou, my father will help you with it."
When Liu Chengqian heard what his father and mother said, his face suddenly became embarrassed.
The father and the mother decided on their lifelong affairs in just a few words. This was a bit too hasty.
Regarding your life-long events, no matter how anxious you are, you should at least give yourself some time to think carefully.
How can it be like a child playing house, it’s settled when it’s settled!
Liu Chengqian was silent for a long time with an embarrassed expression on his face, then he sighed with a slight frown.
"Father, mother, this is a life-long matter concerning my child, at least let me think about it carefully.
Isn't it a little too hasty for the two of you to make such a decision?"
Looking at Liu Dashao and his wife, Liu Chengzhi said hesitantly.
When the third princess heard her son's hesitant tone, she raised her beautiful eyes and glared at Liu Chengqian and rolled her eyes.
"Sloppy? Where is the sloppiness?
Brat, didn’t my mother tell you just now?
What Wei Niang said is that as long as you and Tong'er are in love, Wei Niang will help you make the decision for the life of both of you.
The premise of everything is that you two are in love.
If you don't have Tong'er girl in your heart, your mother can't force you two to be tied together, right?
Now you just need to tell me whether you like this girl Zhou Tonger or not."
When his mother asked him for the second time whether he liked Zhou Tong'er or not, Liu Chengqian silently clasped his hands and fell into hesitant silence.
Sensing that his son's mood seemed a little off, Mr. Liu narrowed his eyes slightly and began to ponder as if thinking.
When the third princess saw her son's silence, she couldn't help but frown.
"Gan'er, you are twenty years old this year, you should know what you like and what you want.
Is the question of whether you like Tong'er girl so difficult for you to answer?"
"Mother, I...baby...baby..."
Liu Chengqian was about to speak but stopped for a long time, still not saying why.
When the third princess saw her son hesitating to speak, her mind quickly began to think to herself.
After a while, the third princess raised her eyes and landed on Liu Chengqian.
"Qian'er."
"Mother?"
"Tell my mother honestly, are you worried about something?
For example, does Tong'er girl have you in her heart?"
When Liu Chengqian heard his mother's question, he shook his head without hesitation.
"Back to mother, no."
"Then are you worried that your Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou will not agree to your marriage after they know what happened between you and Tong'er?"
Liu Chengqian raised his eyes and glanced at Mr. Liu. When he saw his father frowning slightly and thinking secretly, he shook his head again.
"It's not like returning to my mother."
"It's not this, it's not that, what's the reason?
Could it be that you really don’t like this girl Tong’er?”
Liu Chengqian lowered his head and remained silent for a moment with a complicated expression, looking at the third princess with tangled eyes.
"Mother, for a moment, the child didn't know how to answer this question.
Please stop asking now and let the child calm down and then think about it carefully, okay?"
"this."
Just when the third princess looked helpless, the voices of Qi Ya, the Queen and her sisters suddenly sounded from the corridor.
"Husband, sister Yan'er, we are back."
"Husband, sister Yan'er."
When Liu Chengqian saw a group of aunts walking out from the corridor, his complicated expression suddenly relaxed.
"My child has met all my aunts."
"No gifts, no gifts."
"Thank you all, aunts."
"Husband, my sisters in the kitchen have already given their orders."
Young Master Liu looked up at Qi Yun, smiled and nodded.
"Ah That's good."
Qi Yun gently tugged on Liu Mingzhi's sleeve with her fingers, her beautiful eyes showing deep curiosity.
"Husband, what's going on? Did you and Cheng Qian find out anything?"
Young Master Liu chuckled and nodded, stood up from the bench and stretched.
"Everything that needs to be said has been said."
"How is the situation? Can Tong'er girl and the two of them succeed?"
"That's two things to say."
"What's going on?"
Young Master Liu turned his head and glanced at Liu Chengqian, then silently shook his head at Qi Yun.
"My husband doesn't know what this kid is thinking.
If you sisters are really curious, just ask him directly.
As for whether he will tell you anything, I don’t know yet."
Upon hearing her husband's answer, Qi Yun's pretty face was startled, and she subconsciously looked towards Liu Chengqian.
When Qi Ya and other sisters heard Liu Mingzhi's words, they all looked at Liu Chengqian.
Liu Chengqian noticed the doubtful glances of all his aunts, and laughed angrily a few times.
"Hey, hey, aunts, don't look at your children like this."
Young Master Liu put his hands on his back and rushed towards the Qiu Shuang Pavilion first.
"Yun'er, you sisters and Cheng Qian should talk here first, while your husband goes to the pavilion first.
Just wait for a cup or two of tea, and it won’t be too late for you to go there.”
"Hey, my sisters know it."
After Young Master Liu's figure gradually faded away, Qi Yun, Yun Qingshi and the other sisters walked towards the third princess in unison.
"Sister Yan'er, what's going on?"
"Sister Yan'er, why do you think there's something wrong with your husband's face?"
"Sister Yan'er...husband..."
Naturally, Dashao Liu didn't know what happened after he left.
At this time, he was rushing towards Qiu Shuang Pavilion at a leisurely pace.
"Sister Tong'er, if what you say is what you say, what Third Brother did is too much.
You treat him so wholeheartedly, how can he do this?"
"That's right, Sister Lingyun is so right.
Sister Tong'er, don't worry. When my father comes back later, I will ask him to give Brother Cuosan a good beating and vent his anger on you."
When Zhou Tong'er heard the words of Liu Yunxin and the sisters, she waved her hands hurriedly.
"No, no, you must not do this."
"Sister Tong'er, your heart is too soft.
Third Brother has broken trust with you time and time again, why are you still speaking for Third Brother?"
"It's a pity that Sister Yue'er hasn't come home since she left home in the morning.
Otherwise, we will ask Sister Yue'er to help you beat him up now."
When Zhou Tong'er heard this, her face, which was already a little nervous, became a little nervous again.
"No, no, no, you must not do this.
Liu San and I... we can just discuss it between ourselves."
Liu Yaoyao looked at the embarrassed reaction on Zhou Tong'er's pretty face. Seeing Liu Lingyun, Liu Yunxin and the others wanted to say something, but they coughed a few times with a smile on their lips.
"Hmm, Ling Yun."
"Hey, sister Yaoyao?"
"There is no tea in your sister Tong'er's cup. Why don't you give her a refill?"
"Okay, okay, little sister, I'll pour tea for Sister Tong'er right now."
Liu Yaoyao looked at Liu Lingyun who was pouring tea from the pot, smiled softly and patted the back of Zhou Tong'er's hand.
"Sisters Tong'er, Lingyun and the others are still young, and they talk without restraint and don't know the importance.
Sister, please don’t take it personally.”
Zhou Tong'er looked at Liu Yaoyao, smiled and nodded.
"Sister Yaoyao, don't worry, I understand in my heart."
"Sister Tong'er, Cheng Qian's affairs between the two of you are private matters between the two of you.
Sister clearly knows that what Cheng Gan did is wrong, and it is very unfair to you, sister.
However, my sister can't help you much. I hope you can understand my sister's difficulties."
Zhou Tong looked at Liu Yaoyao's sincere eyes, pursed her lips and was silent for a long time, and smiled bitterly with a sad look in her eyes.
"Sister Yaoyao."
"Hey, sister Tong'er, tell me."
"You know what? If it had been before, I would not have forgiven him so easily based on his broken trust with me time and time again.
No matter how outgoing my sister's character is, she is still a daughter who has not yet left the government.
I came to the capital to see him again and again, but he treated me perfunctorily again and again.
As time passed, my sister gradually became confused.
Sometimes when my sister is alone, she thinks about it more than once.
What is the point of me doing this to a man who has repeatedly broken his promise?
Sister Yaoyao, do you know what kind of courage I have to muster up every time before I take the initiative to come to the capital to find him?
Sister, every time before I come to the capital, I feel very uneasy.
I'm afraid. I'm afraid that after seeing him, I will get the same result as before.
We have known each other for eight years.
The agreement he promised me before has been delayed for eight years."
When the word "eight years" was mentioned, the water mist that had been condensed for a long time in Zhou Tong'er's light eyes slid down quietly.
Liu Lingyun looked at Zhou Tong'er who was crying and carefully placed the tea cup on the stone table.
"Eight years have passed by in the blink of an eye.
Sister Yaoyao, do you know how I have lived these past eight years?
Every time I come to Beijing, my heart is full of longing and expectations.
I hope he can give me an explanation and fulfill the promise he made to me back then.
It's a pity that in these years.
Every time I happily came to the capital to meet him, but I ended up leaving again and again feeling sad and with tears in my eyes.
In the years that followed, when I was leaving Beijing and returning to northern Xinjiang, my sister tried to persuade me more than once.
The reason why he treats me like this again and again is probably because he really doesn't have me, Zhou Tong'er, in his heart.
In this case, it's better to give up.
I persuaded myself again and again, and every time I thought I had convinced myself.
But, I can't control it!
Whenever I think of him, I can't help but come to the capital to look for him."
Zhou Tong'er shed tears while quietly confiding her feelings to Liu Yaoyao.
Liu Yaoyao looked at Zhou Tong'er, who was crying with pear blossoms in the rain, and sighed silently.
Then he quickly took out his handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped the tears on her cheek.
"Oh, sister Tong'er.
As Cheng Qian’s sister, I apologize to you on his behalf.”
Zhou Tong'er shook her head hurriedly and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers.
"Sister Yaoyao, no, you don't have to do this.
Although I never hated him before, I also complained about him a lot.
At that time, I didn't know his true identity, so when faced with his behavior towards me, I naturally felt a little sour.
However, things are different now.
After I knew his true identity, sister, I understood him.
I understood why he did that to me, and also understood his difficulties.
In his position, sometimes many things happen out of his control.
After I understood his difficulties, I felt much more comfortable.
The grievances I have suffered over the years are not that serious anymore."
As Zhou Tong'er spoke, a relaxed smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Liu Yaoyao looked at Zhou Tong'er wiping the tears from her eyes with a smile on her face, a hint of emotion on her pretty face.
"Sister Tong'er, brother Chengqian is really blessed to have met such a considerate and good girl like you in his previous life."
Outside the pavilion, behind the bushes a dozen steps away.
Young Master Liu squinted his eyes slightly, gently turned the jade ring on his thumb, and stared deeply at the white clouds under the blue sky.
After hearing what Zhou Tong'er confided to Liu Yaoyao, he was filled with doubts and some things that he couldn't figure out.
At this moment, everything has been figured out.
Zhou Tong'er is her daughter-in-law, and she has identified herself.
Even the King of Heaven, I, can’t stop myself.
The sound of footsteps coming from behind woke Master Liu out of his deep thoughts.
Young Master Liu withdrew his gaze and looked behind him.
I saw Qi Yun, the Queen, the three princesses and their sisters, and Liu Chengqian who looked depressed, rushing towards the pavilion.
"Cough cough cough."
Young Master Liu coughed hard and walked towards the pavilion with a smile on his face.
Liu Yaoyao, Zhou Tong'er and the others heard Young Master Liu's muffled cough and instinctively turned around to look outside the pavilion.
"Daddy."
"father."
"Daddy."
"uncle."
"Brother...no no no, uncle."
When Zhou Tong'er saw Mr. Liu walking towards the pavilion, he habitually called him brother, and then changed his name to uncle with a look of embarrassment.
Young Master Liu walked into the pavilion and waved his hands happily.
"No gifts, no gifts."
"Thank you daddy."
"Thank you uncle."
Young Master Liu happily sat on the stone bench, picked up the remaining herbal tea and took a sip.
"Tong girl."
"Hey, uncle?"
Mr. Liu gently stroked the ear tea cover in his hand and looked narrowly at Zhou Tong'er.
"Girl Tong, when we drink together in private from now on, you can call me big brother.
As a former brother, I will naturally respond to you.
However, you'd better not shout like that when there are many people.
Uncle, I am tolerant and generous, so I will naturally not argue with you.
But others would not think so, especially the civil and military officials in the court.
If they find out about you calling me eldest brother, they will inevitably have to write a book about your father's incompetence in educating his children."
"I don't dare, I don't dare, little girl.
The little girl used to say things smoothly, but after seeing her uncle just now, she habitually...just..."
"Girl Tong, you don't have to be nervous.
When we were in Northern Xinjiang, we had been dealing with each other for so long, but you still don’t understand my young master’s personality?”
