Chen Ye stood outside Su Xiaoxiao's room, listening to the crying and cursing coming from inside, and his heart felt like a knife. If he could, why would he want to leave?
"Let him go, tell him to get out, go wherever you like, get out." Su Xiao's sharp voice came from inside the house.
After a while, the maid came out of the room and said apologetically to Chen Ye: "Master, look at this..."
Chen Ye showed a wry smile, sighed, turned around, and was stunned when he saw the person in front of him.
"You have been learning to play chess for a while. Let's play a game with my eldest sister." Su Liu said lightly and turned around.
In the warm pavilion, the stone table is covered with thick silk cloth, and a simple chessboard is placed on it. Black stones and white stones are crisscrossed, and it can be seen that many of the black stones have been eaten by the white ones. On the small table next to it, a stove is simmering
Tea soup and a few dishes of delicate snacks.
"I lost." Chen Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the sunspots in his hand, smiled bitterly, and threw the remaining sunspots back into the chess cup.
"My heart is not calm enough." Su Liu said while packing up the chess pieces on the chessboard: "Your chess moves are too chaotic. You are impatient and want to win."
"I'm not as good as eldest sister." Chen Ye looked at the chessboard and said mockingly.
Pushing the chessboard aside, Su Liu put two cups of tea in front of each other and said, "Tell me, what do you think?"
Chen Ye raised his head to look at her and said: "Sister, I..." He smiled reluctantly and said: "I just can't accept it. My mother took me out of that house in embarrassment, and my mother died because of it.
,I can not be reconciled."
"Is it just because of this?" Su Liu squinted at him.
Chen Ye met her all-seeing eyes and suddenly felt at a loss as to what to do. He looked away in panic and said: "Now the eldest sister has a home, and my mother has someone who loves her, and she will have a biological son soon..."
"In these years, you have read books and we have taught you. Have you learned this? Open your eyes and tell lies?" Su Liu slapped the table and said in a sharp voice: "Do you really want to disappoint the eldest sister? Or are you really like a little girl?"
What Xiao said is that he doesn’t like our family anymore?”
Chen Ye was slightly startled and said anxiously: "Sister, I don't have one."
Su Liu took a few breaths and said, "Is it because of Xiao Xiao?"
"Sister." Chen Ye stood up in shock and accidentally knocked over the teacup in his hand.
Chen Ye hurriedly went to hold the tea cup, but when he saw Su Liu's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, his face turned red and he stood aside helplessly.
"No matter how much you pretend to be mature, you are still too young after all." Su Liu shook his head and said.
"Sister." Chen Ye's face turned red, he bit his lip, and suddenly knelt down in front of Su Liu and said, "Sister, please help me."
Su Liuduan sat on the tea table, neither shouting nor talking, just sipping tea gracefully. It was only when Chen Ye's heart was pounding that he said: "The man has gold under his knees. Don't kneel down all the time. Get up and talk."
Bar."
Chen Ye stood up and stood aside.
Su Liu poured him another cup of tea and said calmly: "Xiaoye, Xiaoxiao is also fifteen this year, and you, speaking of being older, are only thirteen."
Although she was just guessing before, looking at Chen Ye now, she was afraid that this child did not have an ordinary sibling relationship with Su Xiao. She stroked her forehead and realized that today's children are really more precocious than modern ones.
How big.
Chen Ye's face darkened and he smiled bitterly: "I know."
"Women can't wait. One or two years, maybe they can wait. How about three or more years?" Su Liudan said: "Although there are still many unmarried girls in their twenties, Su Xiao may not be able to wait for two years."
Ten years old, but the premise is that she is willing to wait and she has you in her heart."
"Sister." Chen Ye raised his head, his black pupils shining.
"You know her little temper, and we all know it. She is even more stubborn than a cow. Once she decides something, no one can stop her. Instead of asking the eldest sister to fulfill her wish, it is better to win her heart."
"Sister, I won't think that I..." Chen Ye hesitated before speaking.
"What do you think of you? What do you think of the huge age difference between you two?" Su Liu glanced at him sideways and said: "In the eyes of the eldest sister, the only thing that matters is whether two people are in love and whether they are suitable for each other. Everything else is not a problem. Besides, a female junior is
, holding on to gold bricks, isn’t it?”
Chen Ye blushed and shouted: "Sister."
"Let's not talk about this, what are your plans? Going back to that house will definitely be full of thorns and intrigues. Can you do it?" Su Liu raised an eyebrow at him.
Since it is a wealthy family and Chen Ye is a concubine, there must be legitimate children and other concubines and concubines in that family. How can he do this alone?
Chen Ye sneered and said: "Don't worry, eldest sister, why do you think that person is looking for me? It's just because I got a child, and there are eldest brother-in-law and Song Sange behind me. Just for the sake of brother-in-law and them,
He also won’t let those people go too far towards me.”
"In that case, are you going back?" Su Liu said with a wooden face.
"Sister, in the eyes of the world, Xiaoxiao and I are not related by blood. Ethically speaking, we are always siblings. Even if we are upright, I don't want her to become a criticism among others. I don't want her to look ugly, and I don't want her to be criticized by others.
You guys are ugly." Chen Ye said with a bitter smile.
Su Liu was silent. What he said was that although he knew that the two were not related by blood, even if they came together to get married in the future, it would be a close relationship, but in the eyes of some old-fashioned people, it is also ethical for a brother and sister to get married.
Confused.
"You've been thinking about it for a long time."
Chen Ye sighed softly, walked to the railing of the pavilion, and said: "I am not young anymore, so I always have to make plans for myself. Besides, I am unwilling to do so. Although my mother told me not to go back before she died, I
I’m not willing to give in.”
Su Liu walked up to him and said: "Since you are unwilling to accept it, let's fight for it! Remember, no matter what, this is always your home, and we are all your relatives."
Chen Ye was moved in his heart, his eyes were slightly moist, and he choked with sobs: "Sister..."
"Just do what you have decided to do, and don't let yourself regret it. Only after you have done it will you know the outcome of the process." Su Liu looked at the white snow in the garden and said in a quiet voice: "You are really sincere towards Su Xiaoruo, and so is my eldest sister.
I can help you, but if not, just give up early, she is a pure child."
"Chen Ye's heart can learn from the sun and the moon." Chen Ye immediately raised two fingers and said.
The little boy had a serious face. Su Liu looked away and thought to himself, how young he is!
In Chunhui Hall, Cao Kui was also comforting Mrs. Chen who was in tears with warm words.
"Over the past few years, I have really treated him as my biological son. He can go wherever he wants. How can he be no better than that biological son?" Mrs. Chen wiped her tears and said, "I thought he was completely cut off from that family.
It’s a relationship, but...”
"Stop crying, be careful. The child in your belly will also become a tearful child in the future." Cao Kui wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Chen Ye, I think this child is a successful person."
The person who calculated it is always respectful to you and Su Liu, and he is definitely not that kind of ungrateful person. Since he made such a choice, he must have had his considerations in mind, so let's just watch."
Ms. Chen was slightly startled, and then said: "But he is only half a year old, and his own mother left early, and there is no one to help him. How can he go back to a place where people eat people? How can this make people feel at ease?"
"Mei Niang, when your child grows up, you should let him go and run around on his own. Otherwise, how can he become an eagle and soar around the world? He is already more mature than ordinary children, and I think his temperament is better than Su's.
Xiao and Mingzhu are both calm, and they have practiced with Su Liu over the years, and ordinary calculations cannot be done against him. Besides, we are still here, and we have two brothers-in-law, a dignified prefect, and a second-grade general, who are even better than
How can he be a seventh-grade county magistrate? With Ning Guang and Song Fei, the Chen family would never dare to harm his life."
"Of course what you said makes sense, but when I think about the fact that the children I have raised for several years will be returned to others, my heart breaks..." Ms. Chen beat her chest.
"Let him be. If he is a good person, he will always miss this family no matter where he goes. If he is ruthless, why should you miss him?"
Mrs. Chen sighed sadly. After all, she couldn't help but feel sad and cried in Cao Kui's arms.
After a while, Chen Ye came with Su Liu to say hello, and with Su Liu helping him, Chen finally accepted the fact that Chen Ye was leaving. Su Xiao, who heard the news,
But he was hiding in the room and no one was there.
Now that he has decided to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, Chen Ye's household registration and other things must be moved. With the relationship between colleagues and being the in-laws of the prefect, the household registration transfer is also very smooth. With one stroke,
In the registered household registration book, Chen Ye is no longer Chen's son.
After everything was settled, Chen Ye was about to leave with his father. In order to give Chen Ye a boss and someone he could trust, Su Liu gave Cui Fu's deed of betrayal to Chen Ye and asked him to take it with him.
On the tenth day of November, two carriages stopped at the gate of Cao Mansion. Chen Ye was wearing a sapphire blue brocade robe and a silver rat skin cloak. He bowed deeply to Chen and Su Liu who came to see them off.
Li said: "Mother, eldest sister, adoptive father, Chen Ye is leaving now."
Mrs. Chen was crying so hard that she could not speak. Cao Kui could only say, "Go ahead and come home when you have time."
"Remember what eldest sister said, this will always be your home." Su Liu said with a faint smile.
Chen Ye hummed and couldn't help but look at the door behind her. When he saw that the person was not there, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"She's just being petty, and she'll be fine after a while." Seeing what he was thinking, Su Liu comforted her.
Chen Ye nodded with a wry smile, saluted a few more people, and finally got in the car and left.
Watching the carriage slowly drive away from sight, Chen couldn't help but cry and fell into Cao Kui's arms. Even Su Liu was a little reluctant to let go, with tears falling from her eyes.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps came from inside the door. Looking back, I saw Su Xiao running out and yelling at the carriage that had already gone away: "Chen Ye, you bastard, you'd better never come back, wow."
Woo."
She sat down on the snow and howled loudly. Su Liu couldn't help but shake his head. If he couldn't let go, why bother?
