When Chu Ze heard the name, he immediately understood her purpose. After all, that girl Yin Ziting had already warned him once.
However, people have already come to the door, so naturally it is impossible not to notice.
In the living room, Liu Huier looked around. It was her first time to come to the Duke's Mansion. She had a disagreement with Chen Xirui earlier and had never been here before.
She took the hot tea on the table and took a sip.
Sighed slightly.
There was a hint of melancholy in my heart.
In fact, she could have come a long time ago.
But in the past few days, the news about Chu Ze had been spreading in the city, and she naturally knew about it.
When she heard that Chu Ze was fighting with Zhao Chen over his concubine, she felt a sour feeling in her heart for some unknown reason.
This feeling is not that strong, but it lingers lightly in my heart.
This was something she had never felt before.
She was confused and didn't know what to do.
"I have already agreed with my sisters. It would be so embarrassing if I don't come," Liu Huier, who was sitting in the hall, said to herself.
This is sometimes the case. When you want to do something, you can always find countless reasons for yourself.
"Miss Liu? What are you saying is so embarrassing?" Chu Ze's voice came from behind her, frightening Liu Huier.
My hands trembled and the tea spilled instantly!
"ah--"
Liu Huier screamed, and the teacup fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
Chu Ze quickly said: "Wait a moment!"
After saying that, he got up and left!
Liu Huier was left covering her hands with a painful expression.
In less than a minute, Chu Ze came back with a bucket of cold water in his hand.
"Rush with cold water quickly to cool down quickly and relieve the pain of burns."
Chu Ze stepped forward, took Liu Huier's hand with one hand, lifted the bucket with the other, and helped her rinse.
Dear little girl, it won’t look good if you get scars like this.
At this time, Liu Huier's heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and she was completely confused. When Chu Ze had almost finished rinsing, when he looked back, he realized that Liu Huier's entire face had become extremely red!
"Does it hurt so much?" Chu Ze thought she was in pain.
Liu Huier shook her head and said in a mosquito-like voice: "It doesn't hurt so much anymore!"
Chu Ze looked at her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, the burn isn't serious. Just be careful these days and don't damage it. It should be fine!"
"Well! Mr. Chu, can you let go of my hand?"
"Sorry, I forgot."
Chu Ze let go of Liu Huier's hand and returned to his seat. Liu Huier looked at the redness on his hand and wondered what he was thinking.
"Miss Liu? I wonder why you came to see me today?"
Seeing that she didn't speak, Chu Ze had to find a way to open the topic.
At this time, Liu Hui'er had adjusted a little better. She raised her head and said, "That's it. We sisters all miss Xirui very much, so we thought about whether you could draw a portrait of Xirui, and then we would find a room to hang it up. If
When you miss me, you can go and see it together!"
At this time, Chu Ze's eyes suddenly dimmed, and his face became a little sad, and he whispered: "I'm sorry, Miss Liu, I'm sorry that I can't obey my order! My wife Xirui is like my life! Xirui leaves, I
My heart is like a knife piercing my heart. I painted for my grandfather that day just to ease the pain of his old man missing Xirui. When I painted that day, it felt like ten thousand knives pierced my heart. I am in pain. I also ask Miss Liu for your understanding. I cannot paint this painting.
of."
These words are of course false. Ever since he agreed to Yin Ziting, Chu Ze has been thinking about the reasons for rejection.
After thinking about it, I still say this, which is the most appropriate.
To this end, he secretly practiced his expressions in front of the mirror many times to make sure they were perfect!
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Liu Huier looked at the sad Chu Ze and couldn't bear to force him no matter what.
However, suddenly she asked: "I heard that Mr. Chu fought with Zhao Chen today over a concubine. Didn't you think of Xirui when you got married?"
Chu Ze never expected that Liu Huier would suddenly ask such a question.
But he reacted very quickly, stood up, and said firmly: "I am Xirui's husband, and my heart is cut by a knife after losing the one I love!
But! I am both the son-in-law of the Chen family and the son-in-law of the Great Xia!
Daxia has been on war for many years and has a population shortage. The court encourages men and women to get married, and all widows and widowers are exempted from the rite of filial piety.
Privately, I shoulder the responsibility of continuing the lineage of the Chen family; publicly, I want to be loyal to my Daxia court, so I should take concubines, have children, and breed future generations.
What's more, Gu Yanran was given by the eldest princess, and there are differences between superiors and inferiors, so I can't refuse.
For the sake of the Chen family and Daxia, I think Xirui will not blame me. She can also understand my difficulties!
Therefore, I can only bury my love for him in my heart and shoulder my responsibilities!"
Having said this, Chu Ze looked into Liu Huier's eyes and said solemnly: "A true warrior must dare to face the bleak life, dare to face the dripping blood and pain, and never sink into the pain and collapse!"
Liu Huier has never encountered such a eloquent person, and her last famous quote hit people's hearts.
After listening to it, she actually felt that Chu Ze's decision to take a concubine was so reasonable and even a bit tragic!
Liu Hui'er couldn't help but feel a kind of envy in her heart: "No wonder Xirui has to entrust him with her dream even after she has passed away. How lucky she is to have a husband like this!"
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for making Liu Huier feel envious. The red eye value is +80."
"Um?"
When he saw this prompt, Chu Ze was a little confused!
Envy? Does this woman envy me? Envy my dead wife? Or envy me taking concubines?
Where does this envy come from?
After all, the system prompts were not so complete. Chu Ze fell into a strange thinking circle. He glanced at Liu Huier with a strange look.
Is this woman not thinking of murdering her husband in the future?
But she doesn't look like that kind of person.
Is it possible to know people and faces but not their hearts?
After getting the answer, Liu Hui'er saluted Chu Ze: "I'm sorry, Brother Chu, I was rude! I shouldn't question your feelings for Xirui."
At this time, Chu Ze's image became taller in her eyes. His title also changed from Young Master Chu to Brother Chu.
Chu Ze quickly returned the salute and said: "It's okay, Miss Liu, if you have nothing else to do, I still want to practice martial arts."
The implication is that he is obviously preparing to see off guests.
"Brother Chu, I have another unkind request. Xirui, you don't have to draw, but next time we have a gathering, can Brother Chu go? We sisters, I want you to help us draw a picture together.
Remember the time when we were young, please, you must promise me this!" Liu Huier looked at Chu Ze sincerely.
Painting. The ladies who paint Kyoto are all beauties.
"Tingting, you just told me not to accept her painting Xirui, but you didn't say you wouldn't let me help with the painting."
Yin Ziting definitely didn't expect that Chu Ze had found a loophole just because she had given less instructions.
In her understanding, she had made it very clear to Chu Ze that she should stay away from Liu Huier.
