"Who agreed to cancel the engagement? He broke his promise!"
The expensive carved jade cup became a victim of anger. The fine white porcelain had a bit of vermilion that was dazzling. However, the owner of the blood seemed not to notice that his finger was scratched, and his eyes were full of anger.
Ou Suiliang sat quietly in the chair with an expressionless face, and the tea in his hand had already cooled down. He had been sitting here motionless since telling Yi Huaiyu about Yao Junxian's decision. No matter how angry and cursed Yi Huaiyu was, he remained indifferent, as if things had nothing to do with him.
Doesn't matter in general.
"General, I'm in a bad mood. Let him go and have a rest. If you have anything to say, wait till tomorrow when the anger subsides."
Su Shiyun pulled Yi Huaiyu and tried to persuade him. Yi Huaiyu thought angrily for a moment and waved his hands angrily: "That's all. Suiliang, you go back and rest first. I will go to the General's Mansion with you tomorrow to ask for an explanation."
"The person who needs to ask for an explanation is not His Highness, let alone me." Ou Suiliang, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, his face still a little calm, "General Sima and Lord Yao have the right to do so. As for Miss Sima, what does Your Highness want that she wants?"
I know better."
Yi Huaiyu's expression froze and his voice was much lowered: "What are you talking nonsense about? I told you to go back and rest, do you hear me?"
Yi Huaiyu didn't tell Su Shiyun about his one-night affair with Sima Tulan. Just now, Ou Suiliang came to him in despair and told the Sima family that they regretted their marriage. He felt that something was fishy, but Su Shiyun didn't dare to ask further. In front of him, Ou Suiliang was obviously a little energetic.
He was in a trance, and his words and deeds were inevitably careless. Yi Huaiyu was afraid that Su Shiyun would accidentally notice something, so he had to send Ou Suiliang away hastily. He only breathed out when he saw his downcast figure disappeared from sight.
"You're so good, why did you suddenly regret it?" Su Shiyun was puzzled and looked at Yi Huaiyu blankly.
"Who knows what that family is thinking, maybe Miss Sima is having a bad temper - you know, the eldest lady has a rather troublesome personality, even I can't do anything to her." Yi Huaiyu forced out a smile.
, stretched out his hand to hold Su Shiyun in his arms, "Yun'er, don't worry about these things. What you should do now is to raise the baby with peace of mind. You must not treat my precious son badly."
Su Shiyun's mind was simple, and she was still unaware that the topic was changed. Instead, she blushed and lowered her head deeply: "How can you be sure it's a son? What if it's a daughter?"
"It must be my son. He will succeed me as the master of this land in the future. In this world, I am the only one who is the master." Yi Huaiyu said with a determined smile, his dark eyes twinkling like stars. There is something in his heart that he can't let go of, and Yi Huaiyu has nothing to do with it.
She spoke in her mood, and after a few words of teasing, she urged Su Shiyun to take a rest. She went back to the bedroom and turned off the lights and lay down, but she couldn't fall asleep with her eyes open.
He vaguely felt that the romantic debt he owed to Sima Duran seemed not so easy to escape.
That night, the snow was as heavy as goose feathers, and the cold wind outside the house howled like a ghost. Yi Huaiyu always felt uneasy, tossing and turning and having nightmares. In the dream, the military tent was dark and the fragrance was alluring. He lay on the slightly old felt blanket and was holding something in his arms.
Who, every time he lowered his head to look down, he heard Su Shiyun's soft cry in his ears. As soon as he lost consciousness, the attractive half-naked woman in his arms changed people and turned into a ferocious evil ghost and rushed towards him.
Breathing heavily, I sat up in panic from the bed. There were no evil spirits around me. There was only a sleepy Su Shiyun.
"What, are you having a nightmare?" Su Shiyun put on her shirt and lit the candle, and gently wiped the cold sweat from Yi Huaiyu's forehead with her soft hands.
"I dreamed that a ghost wanted to eat me." Holding his fair hands and placing them against his chest, Yi Huaiyu finally felt a trace of reality and peace of mind. The smile on his pale face was hard, but he still did not forget to joke a few words to reassure Su Shiyun, "But wake up."
Don’t be afraid when you come, I have a fairy protecting me, and all monsters and ghosts will retreat when they see me.”
Deliberate words and laughter could not escape Su Shiyun's eyes. Seeing that Yi Huaiyu was preoccupied, Su Shiyun could not bring up the interest to listen to his jokes. Her concern was clearly revealed: "You have been absent-minded since you came back from the southern border. What happened?
Is it related to General I? Seeing that he is also distracted, I thought you two were having some kind of conflict."
"No matter who I have a conflict with, I can't have a fight with Suiliang. Even if I hit him and bite him, he won't fight back!" Yi Huaiyu was amused by Su Shiyun's serious expression. He kissed her forehead lightly and felt much more relaxed. Growing out
After dispelling the nightmare with his tone, Yi Huaiyu lay back on the couch and hugged Su Shiyun tightly: "Don't think too much when you are pregnant with your child. Only when your mother and child are safe can I feel at ease."
Su Shiyun moved her lips and suppressed her words when she saw that he was tired and closed his eyes. Yi Huaiyu wanted to pretend to be asleep to coax her, but the two of them lay there with their own thoughts for most of the day, and neither of them could fall asleep again.
.
"Huaiyu..."
"ah?"
"Can you tell me what's on your mind? I don't want to know nothing and only be protected by others, without being able to help you with anything all day long."
Yi Huaiyu was silent for a long time, then opened his eyes, turned sideways and met Su Shiyun's eyes: "Ask whatever you want to ask. I won't tell you too much because I'm afraid you will think too much. You are not in good health to begin with.
Children should be more careful."
The peaceful atmosphere allowed Su Shiyun to ease her melancholy, and her peaceful smile disappeared after only a moment. She raised her eyes timidly, with deep confusion in her eyes: "Is the marriage between General I and Miss Sima voluntary? After you left, General Sima and
Master Yao once had a conversation with me, and their intention was very clear. They wanted to use marriage to maintain the relationship between you. I thought that this matter would be over after you refused, but I didn't expect General I to take over the marriage. Now Miss Sima
The other side suddenly said that they would cancel the engagement... I am short-sighted and don't understand your plan, but I always feel that I can't let General Ou suffer under any circumstances."
Su Shiyun's thoughts were beyond Yi Huaiyu's expectation. When he heard the word "received" coming out of her mouth, Yi Huaiyu couldn't help but froze.
He seemed to have never thought about whether pushing Sima Duran to Ou Suiliang would be considered aggravating him.
"How can I say that General I am the most loyal person to you——"
Su Shiyun was interrupted by Yi Huaiyu when she was halfway through her words. She covered her ears with the quilt with a huff. Yi Huaiyu frowned impatiently: "Suiliang didn't complain. What are you complaining about? Don't mention it again, I don't want to hear it."
This was the first time that Yi Huaiyu said harsh words to her since they met. Su Shiyun was stunned for a moment, then slowly took back the hand in his palm, lowered her eyebrows and hesitated for a long time, and sighed inaudibly: "You have changed."
The handsome young man who was once high-spirited and attached great importance to love and righteousness has disappeared somewhere. The longer she gets along, the stranger the man around her becomes. When he talks about the world, when he frowns and counts, when even his close friends can use him to take advantage of him.
At that time, she could hardly tell that the person in front of her was Yi Huaiyu.
At least, not her beloved Yi Huaiyu.
Probably sensing Su Shiyun's aggrieved look, Yi Huaiyu suddenly felt guilty. He stepped forward to caress her thin cheek, and his tone was gentler than usual: "Okay, okay, can't I apologize? Yun'er, you
Just think about our affairs and don't worry about other people. Suiliang is my friend, and I know exactly what to do. If you trust me, you can raise the baby with peace of mind, okay?"
Su Shiyun didn't speak anymore, as silent as if she was sleeping soundly, but both of them knew that neither of them would be able to sleep that night. The invisible barrier made the two people so close to each other extremely uncomfortable. They shared the same bed for the first time, but it was for someone else.
