The strange things in the court today suddenly have answers.
No wonder Prime Minister Luo was secretly paying attention to him, no wonder the third prince suddenly became very affectionate towards him... Why? Why did his mother suddenly change her mind and let him marry the second lady of Luo Mansion?
"Mother," Cui Yu still held a glimmer of hope and looked at He with a longing face: "Are you teasing me on purpose? How could Prime Minister Luo like me..."
"Silly boy, this is your destiny, and there's nothing you can do to stop it." He's smiling words were like sharp knives, piercing his heart: "In the past, I would have thought of such a marriage.
I don’t dare to think about it. It’s such a coincidence that Miss Luo Er’s previous marriage didn’t happen, and she’s older, so it’s not easy to find a satisfactory marriage. I didn’t expect that it would fall into your lap. This is not fate.
What is it?"
No, he doesn’t want such a fate!
Cui Yu trembled and summoned up the courage to speak: "Mother, please forgive me for being bold. I... I don't want to marry Miss Luo Er. The person I like is Ye Qinglan. Mother, before it's too late, please
Come on, get the Geng Tie back!"
He's smile faded and she calmed down: "What nonsense are you talking about! Have all these years of reading the sages' books been in vain? This good marriage is something you can't ask for. I've already invited the official media
I went to propose marriage, and handed over the Geng Tie, which meant that the marriage was preliminarily agreed upon. Now we are waiting for the two families to discuss trivial matters such as the official engagement date and betrothal gift. If I regret it now, what kind of face do you want me to have to go to see someone else?
How can your father lift up Prime Minister Luo when he meets him in the court? After educating you for so many years, don’t you even understand this?"
The big hats were pressed down one after another. Cui Yu couldn't breathe under the pressure, and his delicate face turned pale.
After a moment of stalemate, Cui Yu knelt down with a bang and opened his mouth tremblingly: "Since I was a child, I have never dared to disobey my mother's wishes. But this time... I begged my mother to fulfill all my wishes. In my heart
There is only Sister Lan. In this life, I will not marry anyone but her!"
He was so angry that he trembled all over and slammed the table: "Okay, now your wings are hardened. You don't even listen to my words, right? I tell you, don't have your wishful thinking. This marriage has been decided. You
Just wait for me to get married. As for that girl Ye Qinglan, get rid of your thoughts as soon as possible. I will never allow you to marry her."
He's tone became more intense every sentence, and by the last sentence, he almost shouted with a livid face.
Cui Yu knelt there with a miserable face, his mind went blank, he felt cold all over his body, and the chill quickly spread to every corner of his body.
He wanted to open his mouth to speak, but found that he didn't even have the strength to move his lips. The corners of his eyes were wet.
Although he was a concubine, his biological mother died young and he was raised under the He family. The He family always loved him. Seeing him kneeling in a daze and crying, she naturally felt sorry for him, and she unconsciously softened her tone:
"Yu'er, I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that it would affect your participation in the Spring Festival. Now that I have passed the imperial examination, I will tell you the truth! I used to think that girl Ye Qinglan was pretty good. I also thought about getting married. However, she
That aunt is really unattractive. I really don't like it. It's okay if this marriage doesn't end. Now that we have such a good marriage in Luofu, we must not miss it. I have seen Miss Luo Er before. She has a strange appearance.
Well, I know poetry, calligraphy and painting, and am good at playing the flute. Even if I put aside my family background, I am worthy of you. I am wholeheartedly doing your best, so I rushed to get married."
After a pause, he added: "Although you were not born in my belly, I treat you more than I care for Wan Niang. I have always hoped for your best, so I am especially cautious about your marriage. Now
You have decided to marry Luo Mansion, so don’t think too much. Just calm down and marry Miss Luo Er before the end of the year!"
These soft words made people more desperate than the storm of cold words before. No one is more familiar with He's temper than he is. Since He said this, it is really impossible...
In the final analysis, he is just a concubine. He is lucky that his aunt treats him generously. Over the years, he has been trembling and obeying He's words. It is also because he abides by his duty and does not dare to be presumptuous. If it is a real biological mother and son, this will not be the case.
The mode of getting along. He can kneel down stubbornly and never get up, and he can cry until He's heart softens.
But now, he could only kneel down numbly, with his head lowered, and tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes. There seemed to be a hole in his heart...
He's voice sounded in his ears again: "Stop kneeling here. If someone sees it, what will happen? It's getting late, go back and rest!"
Cui Yu didn't know how he got up or how he got back to his room. He didn't know how he ended up in such a hazy state all night. He was extremely sad, but the feeling of helplessness completely overwhelmed him.
There were loud firecrackers outside, and the guests were all here for him. But he didn't have the slightest desire to see anyone. He sent people to call him several times, but he didn't say a word. He just kept silent.
Lock yourself in the house alone.
Mr. He was helpless and angry, but in front of the relatives and friends who came to congratulate him, he couldn't show any of it. He just forced out a nonchalant smile and continued to chat with everyone.
At noon, the maid who went to deliver food to Cui Yu whispered back: "Madam, I went to deliver food, but the young master refused to open the door."
Mrs. He smiled, with anger flashing in her eyes. But she lowered her voice and said, "I'll send it back later." The maid hurriedly responded.
Cui Wan, who was sitting aside, suddenly said: "Mother, let me go see my second brother!"
Mr. He was stunned and said hurriedly: "You are inconvenient and you can't worry too much, so it's better not to go. He has a child's nature, so it will be fine if he makes trouble for a while..."
Cui Wan smiled and said gently: "He's not fully recovered yet. If he keeps going through it like this, I'm afraid he'll get sick again. I'll go over and try to persuade him, maybe it can make him feel better."
He was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and responded.
Cui Wan arrived at Cui Yu's door and winked at the maids beside her. After the maids had all retreated, she knocked lightly on the door: "Second brother, it's me."
After a long while, Cui Yu's hoarse and weak voice rang out: "Sister, I want to be alone for a while."
Cui Wan said patiently: "Second brother, I know you are in a bad mood right now. But just shutting yourself away like this is not an option. If you are unhappy, it will always be easier to tell you. I am your biological sister, and you
If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will never tell my mother."
This time, Cui Yu's silence was shorter, but he still refused to open the door: "I don't want to say anything."
Cui Wan had no choice but to use her trump card: "I am your biological sister, and I always hope for the best for you. How can I rest assured that you are like this now? If you want to see Shi Mei again, I can do it for you."
Please arrange it..."
The door finally opened, and Cui Yu appeared in front of him.
Cui Wan's words stopped abruptly. Looking at Cui Yu, who looked haggard and thinner, he felt very distressed.
Cui Yu couldn't even squeeze out a smile and whispered: "Sister, come in and talk!"
After Cui Wan entered the room, she sighed in a low voice: "I also know about your engagement. Don't blame mother, she is also doing her best for you."
Cui Yu's heart was filled with a deep bitterness that could not be overcome. The bitterness even spread to his mouth, making the words he spoke with endless astringency: "I know, I will listen to my mother's instructions." After saying this,
After saying this, he turned his head to the side, and there was a faint glimmer of water in the corners of his eyes.
Cui Wan felt bad and didn't know how to persuade Cui Yu.
The mother has always been proud and arrogant. Because she did not have a son, she became more and more interested in her second brother. It can be said that even her biological children are nothing more than this. But no matter what, there is a layer of separation after all. The second brother is obviously full of heart.
He was in pain and sad, but he didn't have the courage to resist. Could it be that his aunt's upbringing was too kind, so he was unable to break free or resist.
After a long silence, Cui Wancai asked in a low voice: "Do you want to see Shi Mei again?"
Cui Yu smiled blankly, and that smile was even uglier than crying: "I... how can I have the nerve to see her." The promise he once swore seemed to be just yesterday, and it was very clear in his heart. But in the blink of an eye,
His sweet dream was completely in vain.
What face did he use to meet her?
But deep down in his heart, there was a trace of longing that shouldn't be there. No, he wanted to see her. He wanted to ask her about her feelings. If she had him in her heart, there might be a chance...
Cui Yu thought about it and finally plucked up the courage: "Sister, I want to see her. Can you cover it up for me and don't let mother know?"
Cui Wan vaguely guessed his thoughts and couldn't help but sigh secretly. So what if they met? The infatuated second brother probably didn't know Ye Qinglan's true intentions. What was waiting for him was just another pain and suffering.
Just disappointed.
But if he is not allowed to see Ye Qinglan, he will definitely not be able to let it go in his heart, and he will also feel resentful towards his mother. It would be better to just end it quickly, and the temporary pain will be better than the endless worries in the future...
"Okay, I'll make arrangements for you." Cui Wan finally agreed: "However, you can't go to see Shimei like this. You must have a good rest and eat on time and take care of yourself in the past few days. When the arrangements are made, I will
Naturally, someone will send a letter to you."
Cui Yu's eyes flashed with light, and he nodded obediently, finally cheering up a little.
In the next few days, although Cui Yu still refused to go out to meet people, he was finally willing to eat. He felt relieved, knowing that all of this was Cui Wan's fault.
When Cui Wan sent a letter to invite Cui Yu to visit, He knew that there was something fishy about it, but she just pretended not to know and nodded and allowed Cui Yu to go out.
