Chapter 962 A broken mirror is hard to be reunited with
Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here.
Looking at each other, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi were both a little surprised, wondering why Cui'er suddenly came to the door.
"You must have scared her today, and she wanted to explain it to me."
Glancing at Yang Liushi, Wei Changtian ordered Zhang San: "Let her come in."
"yes."
With a promise, Zhang San walked out of the room and quickly brought Cui'er in.
When Cui'er walked in with her head lowered, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi immediately noticed something was wrong with her.
The lips are pale, the eyes are red, and there are tears in the corners of the eyes...
"Miss Cheng, what's wrong with you?"
Frowning, Yang Liushi glanced at Wei Changtian and then walked closer, holding Cui'er's hand and asking: "Why do you look like this?"
"Husband, madam..."
Gently pulling her hand back, Cui'er did not answer, but whispered: "Can I have a few words with Mr. Wei alone?"
"Um?"
With a stunned expression, Yang Liushi subconsciously turned back to look at Wei Changtian, her eyes a little surprised and a little teasing, as if she was saying, "Your little lover wants to talk to you alone."
Wei Changtian was naturally even more confused at this moment. After hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand towards Yang Liushi.
"Then you go back to the house first."
"...Yes, sir."
He responded softly, no matter how Yang Liushi got along with Wei Changtian in private, he always cared about the latter's face in front of outsiders, so he immediately walked out the door with Zhang San.
But before she went out, she turned back slightly and glared at Wei Changtian, which obviously meant "I'll see how you can quibble now."
"..."
Rolling his eyes, Wei Changtian didn't say anything, and just watched Yang Liushi leave helplessly. After the door was closed, his eyes fell on Cui'er, who lowered his head and said nothing.
"Miss Cui'er, what's wrong?"
Looking at the messy hair on the side of Cui'er's face and the peach blossom hairpin in her hair, he frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of trouble did you and Brother He encounter?"
"...Mr. Wei."
Looking up and staring at Wei Changtian, Cui'er could see that she was a little scared at the moment.
But she still mustered up all her courage and asked in a trembling voice:
"Are you really Wei Yan, Yan Luo?"
"..."
His eyes changed, but he regained his composure in an instant.
The strangeness in Wei Changtian's eyes flashed away, and he nodded with a smile.
"It seems that Brother He has already guessed it."
"So, so it's true?"
Tweety took half a step back out of instinct, her voice both desperate and sad.
In fact, she still had a glimmer of hope before coming here, thinking that maybe He Jing was just overthinking.
But now that Wei Changtian has admitted it, she can only...
He tightly grasped the corners of his clothes with both hands and lowered his head little by little.
As time slowly passed, Cui'er's breathing gradually became less rapid, but she never dared to look up at Wei Changtian again.
She was silent for a long time, and then asked in a very small voice:
"Mr. Wei, are you really similar to that girl You?"
"..."
His eyes froze, and now it was Wei Changtian's turn to be surprised.
"How did you know?"
"Yes, Madam said that."
Cui'er didn't hide anything: "When Madam met my slave today, she mistakenly identified her as a girl named You. This is how I understood why the young master came to visit me that day."
"I think that Miss You not only looks like this slave, but she must also like peach blossoms..."
"......I see."
Touching his nose, Wei Changtian understood and felt a little embarrassed at the same time.
It's probably because Yang Liushi accidentally let it slip when she met Cui'er for the first time today, which caused the latter to misunderstand.
Of course, it's not entirely a misunderstanding.
After all, the reason why he came into contact with Cui Er and He Jing was indeed because of You Jia.
It's just that I really don't have any other intentions.
"Ahem, Miss Cui'er, that Miss You and I were... good friends."
"So when I saw you for the first time a few days ago, I couldn't help but be a little curious, so I took the liberty of disturbing you and Brother He..."
With a dry cough, Wei Changtian wanted to explain to Cui'er to prevent the latter from further misunderstanding.
However, he was only halfway through his words when he saw Cui'er suddenly kneeling down with a "pop" sound.
"Wei, Mr. Wei."
"Slave, I am just an ordinary woman. If you want to take me away, I dare not disobey you."
"No matter what you ask me to do in the future, I will try my best to do it."
"I just ask you to be noble and let my young master go."
"This slave has only one request, but I beg you to grant it..."
"..."
Kneeling on the ground, Cui'er's voice was trembling, but her tone was somewhat firm.
It was obvious that she was really determined to sacrifice herself in exchange for the safety of He Jing and the He family.
It's just that these words undoubtedly sounded a bit dumbfounding to Wei Changtian.
Good guy, just "submit in advance", right?
Looking at Cui'er in front of her, who seemed to have the meaning of "sacrifice one's life for righteousness", an inexplicable sentence popped into her mind.
Madam, you don’t want anything to happen to your young master, do you?
Hey, what a mess.
Shaking his head and throwing all these things behind him, Wei Changtian interrupted with a wry smile:
"I finally understand."
"Did you and Brother He think I was going to take you away? Just because you look like Miss Nayou?"
"If this is the case, then you don't have to worry about it."
"I just said that Miss Nayou and I are just good friends, and I'm just a little curious about you."
"As for why I want to help you...just take it as fate."
"So I won't do anything to win people's love, and you don't have to come here to plead for Brother He."
"Because I have never thought about what to do to Brother He, otherwise why would I have to remind you several times before?"
"Do you think this is true?"
"..."
After saying everything that needed to be said in one breath, Wei Changtian finally explained the matter clearly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After hearing this, Cui Er finally raised her head again, her eyes filled with confusion.
She was stunned for a long time, and then asked weakly:
"Mr. Gongzi, are you serious..."
"really!"
Wei Changtian affirmed without hesitation: "I have never thought about taking you away, let alone doing anything to Brother He and the He family. Don't worry!"
"..."
Looking at Wei Changtian blankly, Cui'er no longer had any doubts.
After all, with Wei Changtian's identity, if he really wanted to take her away, there was no need to coax her, he could just rob her.
So since Wei Changtian said he wouldn't, it must really be true.
So, after all, do you think too much?
When the misunderstanding was finally solved, Cui'er's mind went blank for a moment, and she didn't know what she was feeling at the moment.
Logically speaking, she should be happy. After all, she doesn't need to be separated from He Jing, and He Jing doesn't need to struggle and suffer because of this.
But for some reason, Cui'er never felt happy.
This was certainly not because she suddenly had a crush on Wei Changtian, or because she regretted not being able to enjoy all the glory and wealth with him.
Cui'er just suddenly thought of He Jing's attitude at that time...
All this is like some "humanity testing experiments" in previous lives.
The program team found a group of people to play robbers and stopped a couple.
Upon seeing this, the boy turned around and ran away, leaving the girl alone, terrified and blocked in place.
Then the camera crew showed up and told the two that everything was fake and they were just recording a show, so they shouldn't take it to heart.
But how can we really not take this kind of thing to heart?
Yes, the robbers are fake and the danger is fake.
But the reaction to danger is real.
Just imagine, after this incident, how can a girl persuade herself to forget the scene where the boy left her and ran away?
Of course, it is somewhat inappropriate to compare He Jing and Cui'er's affairs to the experiment above.
After all, He Jing was not facing a robber, but one of the most powerful figures in several dynasties.
And if it is not handled properly, his loss will not only be some money, but may also be the lives of his entire family.
Therefore, He Jing's situation is undoubtedly more dangerous and desperate.
But the principles are the same.
A broken mirror cannot be rounded.
Once something happens, no matter what the circumstances are, it can never be made up for.
And this is the reason why Cui'er can't be happy no matter what...
"Okay, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, please stop kneeling."
On the other side, Wei Changtian hadn't thought about this yet. Seeing Cui'er still kneeling on the spot blankly, he stretched out his hand to help the latter up.
"If there is nothing else, you should go back and explain to Brother He earlier, so that he will not be worried again...Zhang San! Come and see Miss Cheng off!"
"......yes."
"My servant will explain the matter clearly to my young master."
"Thank you, sir..."
Biting her lip gently, Cui'er thanked her and was sent away by Zhang San in a daze.
Not long after she left, Yang Liushi immediately returned to the room and asked with a smile:
"Ms. sir, what did you whisper to Miss Cheng just now?"
"I'm convinced. You all really think I'm not a good person."
Rolling his eyes, Wei Changtian finally understood why Yang Liushi was so "strange" before.
He recounted what had just happened in a few words, and the latter finally believed that he really had no intention of "replacing" Youjia with Cui'er.
"Ah, it turns out that the slave family mistakenly blamed the husband."
She muttered something in a low voice. Although she said "it's wrong", there was no trace of guilt on Yang Liushi's face. Instead, she blamed "it's against the guest":
"My lord, you are serious. Since you don't intend to take me away, why are you going to provoke Miss Cheng?"
"Why did I provoke her?"
Wei Changtian showed no sign of weakness: "If you hadn't spilled the beans today, she wouldn't have known about You Jia. How could she have misunderstood it to such an extent?"
"Hmph, the Nu family was just careless at that time. Who would have thought that there would be such similar people in the world."
As Yang Liushi talked, he brought out the three boxes of mung bean cakes: "Besides, my husband reminded Miss Cheng not to go out and helped buy mung bean cakes. It's normal for the slave family to want to be a little crooked."
"Yes, yes, I can't quarrel with you."
Spreading his hands in a gesture of surrender, Wei Changtian was too lazy to continue arguing with Yang Liushi, so he tried to end the topic.
"Anyway, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, the matter is over."
"That's it? Alas, my husband, you are fine..."
Yang Liushi looked over and sighed quietly: "But I'm afraid Mr. He and Miss Cheng are not finished yet."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Wei Changtian was stunned and a little confused: "What happened to them? Why are they not finished?"
"Guess what, sir?"
"Where did I guess..."
The voice stopped suddenly, and after Yang Liushi's reminder, Wei Changtian finally reacted.
He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"I asked why Cui'er's expression was so strange just now. It's because of her feelings."
"But this is only temporary."
"After all, no one can do anything about this kind of thing. She should be able to understand He Jing gradually."
"Ms. sir, this is because you don't understand women's thoughts."
Yang Liushi smiled and denied: "Since Miss Cheng is willing to take the initiative to come to see my husband, it means that she is sincere to Mr. He, and she will naturally understand Mr. He's difficulties."
"It's one thing to just understand, but it's another thing to be able to let go of your grudge."
"For example, that time in Yanyun Mountain before."
"Didn't Xiao Feng ask my husband to choose between himself and the slave family?"
"At that time, the slave family only thought that the husband should not choose the slave family. They only thought that the husband would be alive."
"But if my husband really chose me at that time, then the slave family..."
Obviously, Yang Liushi originally wanted to use his own personal experience to give a vivid example.
As a result, she suddenly paused at this point, as if she didn't know what she would do next if Wei Changzhen really chose herself among the two.
On the other side, when Wei Changtian saw that she suddenly stopped talking, he became interested and asked with a smile:
"Go on, if I choose myself, what will happen to you?"
"Slave family..."
Yang Liushi glared at him angrily and said confidently: "The slave family doesn't know either!"
"Hahahaha! Then what are you talking about now?"
Wei Changtian was amused: "You don't even know yourself, so how do you know what Cui'er thinks?"
"me......"
Wei Changtian's remark hit the point. Yang Liushi thought angrily for a long time but didn't know how to explain it, so he simply came to a conclusion.
"Miss Cheng will definitely feel uncomfortable anyway!"
"..."
...
the other side.
The candlelight in the study was dim, reflecting the different expressions of He Jing and Cui'er.
While Yang Liushi and Wei Changtian were making jokes, Cuier had already repeated all Wei Changtian's original words to He Jing.
And as Yang Liushi said, although she knew that she probably shouldn't have such thoughts, Cui'er did have a lingering haze in her heart at the moment.
As for He Jing...
"Tui'er, you..."
There was also no sense of relief on his expression. He Jing looked at Cui'er in front of him and softly wanted to say something.
But before he could speak, the latter gently interrupted:
"Sir, I'm tired and want to take a rest."
"......good."
With a look of loneliness on his face, He Ding nodded: "Go ahead."
"Um......"
"Squeak~"
The door opened and closed. There was only a wooden door between the two people inside and outside the house, but they could no longer see each other.
People are so strange sometimes. Although they pursue reason all the time, they can never escape the control of emotion.
This is not only true for Cui'er and He Jing, but also for Yang Liushi and Wei Changtian who seem to be much "luckier".
Otherwise, Yang Liushi would not be unable to answer the question just now.
And Wei Changtian would not have walked into this small courtyard a few days ago and asked, "Do you also like peach blossoms?"
