Cui Yu's mood, which had been gloomy for several days, finally improved.
Cui Yu specially took a bath and changed into new clothes. Along the way, he kept thinking about what to say when they met. But when he actually entered Changyuan Uncle's Mansion and arrived at Qinfang Garden, he suddenly felt inexplicable nervousness and timidity.
.
Cui Wan, with her pregnant belly, sat chatting with Cui Yu. After a while, Chao Yun came to report with a smile: "Young lady, Miss Ten is here."
Cui Wan was too heavy to stand up to greet her, so she smiled and said, "Please invite the tenth sister in quickly."
Cui Yu held his breath unconsciously and looked towards the door.
A light figure appeared at the door, with bright eyes like water and a full smile. She was dressed in light green spring clothes, which added a bit of beauty to her. After not seeing each other for more than a month, she seemed to be even more beautiful.
Ye Qinglan was secretly shocked when she saw Cui Yu. Although he was wearing new clothes, his face looked really bad and he had lost weight.
What Cui Wan said yesterday came to mind again: "... his mother has gone to Luofu to propose marriage for him, and the engagement will be official soon. After he knew this, he knelt down and cried for a long time. Later,
I locked myself in the room again and refused to come out. I really had no other choice but to coax him first and agree to arrange for him to meet you in private. Sister Shi, I know this is embarrassing for you. Please take it for my sake.
In terms of face, this is the last time I see him. It’s better to let him give up completely, so as not to keep him thinking about you..."
She hesitated for a moment and then agreed. Whether it was for Cui Wan's face or her pity for this infatuated young man, she had to see this side.
"I've met Brother Cui Shi." Ye Qinglan smiled slightly and said hello: "Congratulations to Brother Cui Shi for winning the Jinshi."
Cui Yu composed himself, smiled a little awkwardly, and his eyes drifted towards Cui Wan unconsciously.
Cui Wan stood up and said, "You two talk for a while. I have something to do. I'll come as soon as I can." After saying that, she looked at Ye Qinglan apologetically and pleadingly.
After all, today’s meeting was actually a embarrassment to Ye Qinglan...
Ye Qinglan smiled slightly, implying that she didn't mind. When Cui Wan led all the maids out, she and Cui Yu were the only two people left in the room.
Cui Yu looked at Ye Qinglan blankly. He clearly had a thousand words in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.
We don't have much time, so we can't waste time just staring. Ye Qinglan simply spoke first: "Do you have something to tell me?"
Cui Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly didn't dare to look directly into those bright eyes: "Yes, I...I have something to tell you."
Thinking of what he was going to say next, Cui Yu felt an unspeakable pain in his heart. He used all his strength to reluctantly spit out the words: "My mother has already arranged a marriage for me, and I am the second young lady of Luo Mansion. Although I
I don't want to...but I can't disobey my mother. She has been treating me very well for so many years. I can't let her down...I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I failed you, I'm sorry..."
Cui Yu couldn't talk any more. Tears rushed into his eyes quickly, but he endured them without falling.
Seeing Cui Yu's appearance, Ye Qinglan felt a little sour in her heart. After a moment of silence, she said softly: "I knew about this yesterday." Her voice was unexpectedly calm.
Cui Yu's heart trembled, and he reflexively looked up at Ye Qinglan: "You...you already know?" But why is she so calm and not sad at all?
Ye Qinglan also looked over quietly. There was pity, sympathy and sadness in her eyes, but there was no sadness or pain: "Actually, you don't have to feel sorry for me."
Why did she react like this? Cui Yu suddenly felt a little scared, always feeling that he would hear something he couldn't bear next.
"Brother Cui Shi, congratulations." Ye Qinglan's voice was still so smooth and gentle, as if all this had no impact on her: "It is a double blessing to pass the Jinshi exam and get married. I am also happy for you. As for you
In fact, you don’t need to worry about what you said before. I have always treated you like an elder brother, and I have never expected the Cui family to come to propose marriage. So, you don’t have to worry about what you said before.”
Cui Yu looked at Ye Qinglan blankly, his heart sinking, and there was still a trace of hope in his words: "This is not what you mean. You said this just to comfort me, right?
"
Ye Qinglan knew that she must not be soft-hearted at this time, and responded harshly: "I am not comforting you. What I just said is from my heart. I know that you are getting married, and I am really happy for you. I have always been
I wanted to say it, but I was afraid that it would affect your participation in the scientific examination, so I didn't say it outright at the time. Now that you have passed the imperial examination, I am really relieved. I am willing to come to see you today because I want to make it clear to you, so as not to worry about it in your heart.
I always feel sorry for me."
Cui Yu's face turned pale little by little, and his blood was completely gone. He sat there straight, his eyes blank. Ye Qinglan's words kept echoing in his mind.
It turns out that it was just wishful thinking on his part!
It turns out that she never really liked him!
He was the only one who kept his promise firmly in mind. She never thought of marrying him.
Ye Qinglan looked at his devastated look and felt a little sad. If possible, she really didn't want to say such heartless words to hurt a young man who loved her wholeheartedly. But now that she has reached this point, the only way to truly treat him is to do this.
good.
Instead of worrying about the pain in the future, it is better to cut off everything neatly. It is better to suffer temporary pain than to have endless ties in the future.
"Miss Luo Er is your perfect match. You don't have to worry about me anymore in the future." Ye Qinglan tried her best to keep her voice calm and rational: "This is the last time the two of us will meet alone. Don't come to see me again in the future."
After saying that, without even looking at Cui Yu, he stood up and walked out with a hard heart.
"Wait!" Cui Yu opened his mouth with difficulty: "Sister Ten, do you really not like me at all from the beginning to the end?"
Ye Qinglan did not look back and responded calmly: "Yes, I only have brother-sister affection for you, and I have never had any love between men and women. Just forget about me!"
In fact, she has been shaken before. If she marries Cui Yu, who is simple-minded, she will definitely be peaceful and happy in the future. This kind of life is actually quite good. Unfortunately, Cui Yu has such a ruthless and shrewd aunt.
, daunting. More importantly, she met another man who really moved her.
Love cannot be given away. If she didn't fall in love with Cui Yu, she could only say goodbye with regret.
Ye Qinglan left without looking back.
Cui Yu watched Ye Qinglan's figure gradually disappear until he disappeared. He felt that something very important in his body had also been taken away. His heart was empty and without a trace.
It's really strange. My heart hurts so much that I feel a little numb. I can't even shed tears...
I don't know how long I sat there blankly, but a voice suddenly rang in my ear: "Second brother, are you okay?" Cui Wan walked in at some point and looked at him with a worried look.
Cui Yu looked blank and opened his mouth stiffly: "Sister, I can hold on..."
Cui Wan felt sour and heartbroken, and deliberately softened her tone: "Silly boy, what are you doing in front of me? If you feel sad, just cry happily."
Cui Yu smiled miserably. How could he cry bitterly? It was because he was not good enough, so she didn't like him. It was because he didn't have the courage to resist, so now he didn't even have the right to beg her to give him a chance.
Cui Wan also shed tears along with her. When Cui Yu's mood became calmer, she opened her mouth to persuade: "Second brother, you and Shi Mei are not destined to have such a fate. It's better to let it go as soon as possible and stop thinking about her."
At this time, Cui Yu could not hear this, he bowed his head and remained silent.
Cui Wan softened her voice again: "Don't blame your mother, she is also doing your best."
Cui Yu was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth with difficulty: "Sister, there is something I don't understand. My mother always liked Sister Ten very much before, why does she suddenly not like her now?"
Cui Wan naturally didn't want to reveal the truth, so Zuo Guyan said calmly: "I don't know much about this either..."
"Sister, please stop lying to me. You must know it." Cui Yu begged: "Please tell me, please. I know I am no longer qualified to like her anymore. But I don't want to be confused.
Being kept in the dark.”
Cui Wan hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and said: "Actually, this starts from the day when Sister Lian's son was full moon. At that time, the third aunt was sitting next to her mother and talked about the tenth sister with her mother..." In a few words, he recounted the events of that day.
After saying it again, he added: "...To be honest, even if mother agrees to come to propose marriage, the third aunt's temperament will definitely block it. How can mother be willing to let you suffer such humiliation, so I am anxious to say something else for you.
It’s a matter of marriage.”
Cui Yu listened blankly, his mind in confusion.
It turned out that so many things happened without him knowing. He was really too naive and thought everything was so simple.
"Getting married is not just a matter of two people, but also involves two families." Cui Wan sighed: "The third aunt is Shi Mei's legitimate mother. As long as she doesn't nod, there is nothing my mother can do. Naturally, I also hope that you and Shi Mei can have a fate.
Together. But now it seems that this is destined to be a luxury hope."
Cui Yu only felt his nose was sore and his eyes were red again. After a while, he whispered: "Then what will she do in the future?" If Mr. Xue deliberately made things difficult, I am afraid that such things will continue to happen in the future.
Cui Wan cheered up and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. The tenth sister has always been smart and will not always be at a disadvantage." What's more, if that person really has this intention, he will definitely be able to come up with a solution...
"The second young lady of the Luo Mansion is both talented and beautiful. You are lucky to marry her. You must treat her well in the future." Cui Wan's voice rang in her ears again.
Cui Yu's tears fell from nowhere and his vision quickly blurred. From today on, he is no longer qualified to like her. He is about to get engaged to marry another woman...
