Zhu Jianchun stopped talking, and Ding Shaoyu didn't speak either. The air became colder again. Zhu Jianchun was not in a hurry and drank tea slowly. After waiting for a while, Ding Shaoyu saw that Zhu Jianchun had not yet opened his mouth to make a request. He knew that Zhu Jianchun had deliberately left it dry.
I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. I knew that whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage, so I couldn't care less. After all, standing in Prince Xu's Mansion and respectfully calling Zhu Jianchun "Prince," I was already at a disadvantage.
"If there is anything you want Shao Yu to do, Your Majesty, please ask!"
Finally unable to calm down anymore? Zhu Jianchun raised his handsome eyebrows, and his proud eyes swept across Ding Shaoyu's face, which was barely keeping calm.
"Since you are sincerely begging me, I will kneel down and kowtow to show your sincerity." Zhu Jianchun said a sentence in a calm tone with an expressionless face. Ding Shaoyu was startled and raised his head to look at Zhu Jianchun in confusion. Zhu Jianchun seemed to be confused when he saw Ding Shaoyu.
It was a reluctant face, and the anger that had been blocked in my heart rushed up, "Didn't you say that you are willing to risk your life and death for this king? You are not willing to kowtow?"
Ding Shaoyu stood still, with an angry look on his beautiful and enchanting face, "Is Your Majesty humiliating Shao Yu?"
"Humiliation?" Zhu Jianchun snorted coldly. Although he did have the intention to punish Ding Shaoyu, he could not say the word "humiliation", but there was an expression of acquiescence on his face, "What's wrong with just humiliating you, a pariah? As long as you kneel down to me.
After kowtowing ten thousand times, I will immediately ask the imperial physician to go to the Ding family to diagnose Xiaoxiao’s pulse!”
When he introduces the prince, ordinary people usually rush to kneel when they see him. His Ding family is the richest man in the country, and they will rely on the Ding family's influence when the treasury is empty. Ding Shaoze, the head of the family, cannot be ignored, but he, Ding Shaoyu, is just a concubine.
He is at odds with Ding Shaoze, and the Ding family's property is not his turn. What status does he have? He dares to challenge the royal family?
"Is this what the prince wants me to do?"
Zhu Jianchun had not thought about what he wanted Ding Shaoyu to do, but after hearing what Ding Shaoyu said, he nodded.
Ding Shaoyu stared into Zhu Jianchun's eyes, and Zhu Jianchun looked back at him coldly. The two looked at each other for a long time. Finally, Ding Shaoyu looked away first and said slowly, "Okay! I kneel down! I just hope that the prince can keep his promise!"
"
"I promise a thousand pieces of gold and I will never regret it!"
Ding Shaoyu glanced at Zhu Jianchun's face expressionlessly, picked up the corner of his robe, slowly bent his knees, knelt on the ground with a 'plop', and kowtowed his head.
Zhu Jianchun stared blankly at Ding Shaoyu's actions without any hesitation or hesitation. He didn't react until Ding Shaoyu's forehead hit the floor crisply.
The shock in his heart was beyond words. They all said that men have gold at their knees. Ding Shaoyu's move undoubtedly greatly impacted Zhu Jianchun's heart. "Ding Shaoyu, if I am kind, I will allow you to choose between kowtowing ten thousand times or granting death. You choose."
What?"
Ding Shaoyu paused with his lowered head, and quickly resumed the action of kowtow.
"Ding Shaoyu, answer me!"
"Didn't I already answer?" Ding Shaoyu said coldly, his kowtow movements not stopping at all, and he was still chanting softly, "Ten, eleven, twelve..."
Zhu Jianchun was stunned, looking at Ding Shaoyu who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, the contempt in his heart surged up, "It turns out that the second young master of the Ding family is also a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. I thought you have such deep love for my little one."
Well, that’s all!”
Ding Shaoyu didn't get angry or refute, he repeated the mechanical kowtow action over and over again. Seeing him being so groveling, Zhu Jianchun felt panicked. In addition, he had always hated Ding Shaoyu, so what he said was even more merciless, "Unexpectedly
The dignified second young master of the Ding family, the most beautiful and enchanting man in the whole capital and even in the country, kowtows quite standardly. I wonder if the second young master often does this to others? I thought the second young master had a lot of talent.
He is arrogant and dignified. Actually, if you think about it, the second young master is so good at flattering others and being so groveling that he must..."
Seeing that Ding Shaoyu had no expression on his face, neither angry nor retorting, and seemed not to hear his own words, Zhu Jianchun felt as if he was talking to himself, the anger in his heart was blocked in his chest, and he was extremely depressed. He stood up and walked in the living room.
walk around.
Ding Shaoyu seemed not to notice, and continued to kowtow to the empty chair, "Thirty-three, thirty-four, thirty-five..."
Zhu Jianchun's heart became even more congested. He sat back in his chair angrily, accepted Ding Shaoyu's kowtow, and coldly glanced at the expressionless and beautiful face. An evil thought flashed through his mind, "Ding Shaoyu kowtows."
Second Young Master, what would you think if the woman you love most knew that you were like this, greedy for life and afraid of death, kowtow to others?"
Sure enough, as Zhu Jianchun expected, Ding Shaoyu's figure froze, and his kowtowed head just hung on the floor. After a long time, he slowly raised it and looked directly at Zhu Jianchun. Only then did Zhu Jianchun realize that Ding Shaoyu's forehead was already covered with blood. He thought of Ding Shaoyu.
This man loves to be clean recently. Hearing that not long ago, a woman who admired him deliberately bumped into him to attract his attention. He immediately returned to Ding's house and washed himself. The clothes he wore that day had just been bought.
The top brocade was also burned.
This incident seems to have happened shortly after the eldest young lady of the Ding family was pushed into the pool and woke up again. After that, the second young master of the Ding family, who always hung around the flowers and prided himself on being suave, was no longer seen in the flower house.
Everyone in the world knew that the second young master of the Ding family had changed his gender. Zhu Jianchun only listened to it as a joke at the time and did not believe it at all. Only now did he understand that he had really changed his gender just because he fell in love with a woman, so other women were included.
He can't see his eyes anymore. In his eyes, the person he loves most is the most beautiful and lovely, and no woman can compare or replace her.
"Please, Your Majesty, don't tell her."
Ding Shaoyu looked at Zhu Jianchun's eyes. The blood on his forehead flowed into his eyes. He didn't bother to wipe it away. He just looked at Zhu Jianchun without blinking, with a begging look flashing in his sad and unwavering eyes.
It was the first time that Zhu Jianchun saw Ding Shaoyu showing such a begging look. Even though he saluted him and asked for help, he did not show such a pitiful and profound begging look.
What he fears most is not life and death? But does Su Xiaoxiao know how unbearable he is? Zhu Jianchun was shocked, with a mocking and pitiful expression on his face, "What? Now do you know that the way he kowtows is unsightly? He is finally afraid.
Does she know about it? Why did she agree if she knew it? Why not just be more decisive and choose to die! It would be more respectable..."
"If she knows that I died for her, she will be sad and sad. I don't want her to be sad. If she knows that I kowtow to others for her, she will also be sad and sad. I don't want her to cry. So, please accept it."
As long as she kowtows ten thousand times from me, don’t tell anyone, otherwise, the gossip will spread to her ears.”
After Ding Shaoyu finished speaking quietly, a faint smile appeared on his unswerving face. Although he was sad, he was so satisfied, so sweet, and so happy. Waves of jealousy surged in Zhu Jianchun's heart.
It was clearly him who was being humiliated, so why could he still be so happy and satisfied? It was clearly him who was victorious, so why did he feel so aggrieved and sad?
Zhu Jianchun turned his head irritably and stopped looking at Ding Shaoyu. Ding Shaoyu didn't care about Zhu Jianchun's actions. He just repeated the mechanical action over and over again, "Three hundred and forty-five, three hundred and forty-six, three hundred and four."
Seventeen..."
Ding Shaoyu's voice was very soft, but it pierced Zhu Jianchun's heart like a needle. The pain made him pace back and forth in the living room restlessly. Every sound and every word announced the sweet happiness between him and that little woman, and also the sweetness and happiness between him and that little woman.
Declaring his own failure.
Three years ago, he lost to Ding Shaoyu. Three years later, will the same ending happen again?
No! He is not willing to do so!
Why should he lose to this man who has nothing but his beauty? What qualifications does he have to win the heart of the woman he likes over and over again?
Three years ago, this man made his favorite woman jump off the tower in despair and die. Three years later... Zhu Jianchun couldn't imagine Su Xiaoxiao's ending. He was afraid that Su Xiaoxiao would be like what he did three years ago.
Just like the figure who jumped from the tower without any hesitation or regret.
But, how can it be the same?
"Ding Shaoyu, tell me, why did you force Yu'er to commit suicide three years ago? Why?" Looking at Ding Shaoyu, who kept kowtowing expressionlessly, Zhu Jianchun finally couldn't help but asked what he had asked day and night in the past three years.
The question that haunted him like a nightmare finally revealed the name that had been troubling his heart.
"Yu'er?" Ding Shaoyu paused for a moment, then quickly continued to kowtow and asked lightly, "Who is she?"
"Who is she? You asked me who she is? Do you know why I hate you so much and are still pretending not to know? Ding Shaoyu, I didn't expect you to be a villain who dares to do what you don't want to do!" Zhu Jianchun lost control.
Roaring, if he hadn't controlled himself forcefully, he might have rushed over and beaten Ding Shaoyu up.
"Four hundred and twenty-two." Ding Shaoyu raised his head, looked directly into Zhu Jianchun's furious eyes, and said calmly, "Your Majesty misunderstood my meaning. I mean who is she to me? Why should I care about her love? Why do I
Want to respond to her affection? She pestered me day by day, accusing me of going to a brothel to have fun, accusing me of turning a blind eye to her. I only replied to her, who are you? Why do you care about my private affairs? Besides, I don’t know anything.
I’ve never done it before, how can I do it?”
"Just saying who are you, will she be so desperate that she seeks death? I don't believe it!" Zhu Jianchun's eyes were red with rage. For three years, the thought that had been haunting him like a nightmare finally rushed out at this moment like a beast opening an iron door.
When he came out, Zhu Jianchun felt as if he was liberated, but the answer hadn't been obtained yet, and he couldn't be completely liberated.
"Of course it's more than that, she replied to me, I am the one who loves you the most." At this point, Ding Shaoyu suddenly stopped.
"Then what?" The answer was right in front of him, but he was cut off. Zhu Jianchun was so anxious that he didn't care about his identity or hatred. He put his mouth close to Ding Shaoyu's face and bent down. Ding Shaoyu raised his eyes to look at him, with an expression of memories on his face.
