The mountains reflect the setting sun, and dusk clouds fly around.
The dusk of late autumn becomes even more desolate with the chirping of jackdaws, which is heartbreaking and heartbreaking.
Chen Siwen was dressed in white, and his whole body was as thin as a lone bamboo.
The jade flute is placed across her lips, and the music she plays seems to express endless thoughts.
He played this piece of music countless times.
He once fell in love with Cen Yunchu's piano music, but now he is left with endless sadness.
When the marriage decree came, he was so anxious that he almost vomited blood. He wanted to go into the palace to ask the queen to take back his life, but Mrs. Chen decided to stop her.
"How old are you? Don't you know how serious a crime it is to disobey an order?!" Mrs. Chen already hated Cen Yunchu.
It was obvious that she had disappeared and the engagement had been cancelled, but her son still missed her and even ignored the Queen's wishes.
This disaster!
As Chen Siwen, he could not see the queen at all.
Unless his mother went to the palace to plead for him, but she refused.
"Aunt Chen, I want to say a few words to brother Siwen." Zeng Nian has almost recovered, which has to be said to be a miracle.
"Good boy, please don't mind it. You know that Siwen is a stubborn boy. It's not that he doesn't like you, it's just that it's hard to accept it for a while." To be fair, Mrs. Chen liked Zeng Nian more.
If Zeng Nian hadn't injured her leg and couldn't walk, she would have gone to ask for her hand in marriage.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I won't be angry with brother Siwen." Zeng Nian smiled softly.
She knew that her mother came to the palace to ask for the marriage from the queen, and her mother did not even discuss it with her.
Zeng Nian objected afterward. She knew that Chen Siwen could not let go of Cen Yunchu, and she did not want to be the woman who occupies a dove's nest.
But my mother said that the decree had been made and it could never be taken back.
So Zeng Nian wanted to make it clear to Chen Siwen, but unfortunately, Chen Siwen was seriously ill and was not conscious all the time.
She only came to the house when Chen Siwen recovered from his illness.
"You all go down, I'm fine." Zeng Nian didn't want anyone to follow her.
If she were given a choice, she would of course be willing to be in love with Chen Sixen.
But she is not willing to force others to do anything.
She had to obey the Queen's decree, but she didn't want to be with Chen Sixen in a daze.
Some things should still be said clearly.
Zeng Nian walked slowly behind Chen Siwen, and the sound of the flute stopped.
"Brother Siwen, I'm here to discuss things with you today." Zeng Nian mustered up his courage, "Maybe you blame me in your heart, and I don't want to argue about who is right or wrong here. I just want to say that if you don't want to, I have
Method."
Chen Siwen turned around and looked at her quietly without speaking.
He once wished that the girl in front of him could stand up again and walk like a normal person. For this reason, he studied medical books day and night and never dared to slack off.
Now that this wish has finally come true, Chen Siwen still feels comforted in his heart.
Seeing him turning around, Zeng Nian let out a deep breath and continued: "Although the Queen's decree cannot be taken back, she did not say when the wedding will be. I know that you can't let go of Yun Chu. In fact, I
It's the same in my heart.
Then we will only keep this reputation for the time being and not get married. After a while, or there are other opportunities, we will dissolve the engagement. Even if it cannot be dissolved, I will never embarrass you. In the final analysis, this matter is
It's our family's fault. I will definitely give you an explanation."
"Don't do anything stupid." Chen Siwen could tell that Zeng Nian was not trying to coax him.
For so many years, he had regarded Zeng Nian as his sister, and he had thought more than once that if he had a sister, she should be like her, gentle, kind and strong.
Whoever it was, had his legs disabled at an age like a flower, and either gave up on himself or blamed others.
But Zeng Nian never showed her pain to others. She always had a smile on her face and was neither humble nor overbearing.
Chen Siwen wanted the queen to take back her life, not only because he couldn't let go of Cen Yunchu, but also because he felt it was unfair to Zeng Nian.
What a good person Zeng Nian is, she shouldn't have to guard a broken person who can't give her anything except the status of husband and wife.
"Brother Siwen, don't tell anyone this today. Even our parents may not really understand what we want." Zeng Nian smiled particularly softly in the dusk.
Her love for Chen Siwen has not changed in all these years.
But she felt sorry for him even more. Seeing Chen Siwen now haggard and thin, her heart was bleeding.
And the one who forced him to be like this actually had his share.
Thinking of this, Zeng Nian felt even more heartbroken.
"I won't do anything stupid, don't worry." Zeng Nian said firmly, "I just want to make you feel better."
"Don't be stupid, the marriage decree has been made, and it won't last more than a year at most." Chen Siwen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You should hate me."
Their family is already planning the wedding.
In such a family, their own power to decide on life-long matters is pitifully small.
Not to mention it's Yuci's wedding.
"How could I hate you? How could a person go against his own heart so easily? Brother Siwen, I know that you actually don't want to hurt me at all. You don't want to hurt anyone, but you can't go against your own heart."
Zeng Nian said.
If Chen Siwen is such an easy person to change his mind, Zeng Nian will definitely be disappointed in him.
"A-Nian, thank you." Chen Siwen was very touched.
She didn't mess around with him, nor did she pretend to be pitiful in front of him. She was so frank and fearless, braver than herself.
"Brother Siwen, you don't have to thank me. Just like you, I don't want to go against my own heart. I like you, but my love is clean and pure.
Don't feel like you owe me anything, you never owe me anything. I came here just to tell you that I have made up my mind and will never embarrass you."
After Zeng Nian finished speaking, he turned around and left.
There were some things she didn't tell Chen Siwen. If Chen Siwen still couldn't let go of Cen Yunchu in the end, she was willing to become a monk to help him.
As long as she becomes a monk, worldly marriage will no longer bind her.
Zeng Nian couldn't think of a better way than this.
Because she couldn't let go of Chen Siwen. For a person she loved but didn't have her in her heart, she was willing to let go, willing to fulfill him, and even willing to sacrifice herself to protect him.
Zeng Nian also knew that if he really did this, he would definitely break the hearts of his family.
But that's all she could do for Chen Siwen. There were too many things in this world that were counterproductive, and there had to be a choice.
She walked a long way in one breath and didn't stop until she couldn't walk any longer.
A round golden moon rose in the sky, like a mirror, reflecting people's hearts.
