Only then did the Lu family's mother and son realize the seriousness of the matter.
Before today, they had discovered that Deng Ruyu was very difficult to get along with. But compared with the Duke's Mansion, Deng Ruyu was nothing.
The mother and son looked at each other, and Mrs. Lu lowered her eyes: "Ruyu, in my heart, you are the daughter-in-law of our Lu family, and the only wife in Hainan in this life. As for Huanli, she can't do this for a while, and she should be there in two years
Enough."
She looked at Jiang Huanli: "Let's go."
Just now, Jiang Huanli was immersed in the joy of being with her cousin. When she heard these words in an instant, she felt like a thunderbolt from the blue, making her face turn pale.
"aunt!"
"Huan Li, don't embarrass me." Seeing that she wanted to speak, Mrs. Lu took the lead in emphasizing: "I support you for a while, I am kind to you, and I don't ask you to repay me. I also hope you won't cause trouble for me. The Lu family has already
If you fall, you really can’t afford to offend the Duke’s government.”
If you only rely on the Duke's government to turn things over, you should withdraw on your own.
Jiang Huanli's face was full of tears and her whole body was shaking: "Cousin!"
Lu Hainan turned his face away: "Cousin, I am the son-in-law of the Duke's mansion, and I really don't dare to accept two sexes."
Jiang Huanli was heartbroken for a moment. The attitude of mother and son was not the same just now. In the final analysis, it was Deng Ruyu's words that had the effect.
"Cousin, I never dare to argue with you. I just want to stay with my cousin and be a maid. Can you not tolerate such humbleness?"
"You are a life-or-death person, I don't dare to keep you here." Chu Yunli sneered: "It's like you're acting like a show every day. Isn't that how you live your life?"
The implication was that Jiang Huanli had annoyed her with her recent quarrels, so he had to kick her out.
"You haven't even consummated your marriage with your cousin, and you don't even want to stay and live a good life." Jiang Huanli looked sad and angry: "Deng Ruyu, you have no good intentions."
"Even if you are right, what can you do to me?" Chu Yunli stepped up and left.
Behind him, Jiang Huanli was so angry that he threw his pillows on the ground.
Not long after Chu Yunli walked out of the yard, Lu Hainan chased after him: "Ruyu, wait, I have something to say."
The two of them live under the same roof, and if he is not allowed to talk, Chu Yunli will not be able to live in peace.
There were many people serving the Lu family, and there were sweepers everywhere in the yard. Lu Hainan chased him all the way, panting from exhaustion. He waved his hand, and the people below quickly dispersed for fear of tiring him. Soon, only the place was left.
Two people got off.
"Ruyu, I don't want to keep my cousin."
Chu Yunli bent down to look at the ants in the flowerpot: "Whether you want to stay or not is your own business. You don't need to explain to me. I just don't want to be under the same roof with her anymore, and I don't want to be targeted by her. In fact, I don't
If you really want to get married, we are destined to be separated. You don’t really want to marry me, so you can make plans for the future."
Lu Hainan was speechless: "Ruyu, you are a good girl, I..."
Chu Yunli couldn't help laughing, and stood up holding her belly: "You dare to say this, in the Duke's Mansion, I am not liked by the elders, and I am not happy with my sisters, even with my aunt,
We were not close to each other when we got along. When I got to your house, I was unforgiving, forcing your family to make choices and making things difficult for you. How did you know that I was a good girl?"
These are all facts. Lu Hainan opened his mouth: "You saved me with good medicine."
Chu Yunli smiled: "I didn't want to give myself the reputation of being a bad guy. You are getting better now. If you don't get lucky, my life will definitely not be as leisurely as it is now."
Lu Hainan couldn't say anything to refute. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I really want to take care of you for the rest of my life."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli laughed out loud: "It's hard for you to take care of yourself, so you should save some time."
She turned around, but Lu Hainan was very unwilling and chased her a few steps: "You look down on me?"
"Yes!" Chu Yunli didn't even look back: "You can still be plotted by someone in your own family to the point where you can barely breathe, yet you are so indecisive after finding out the culprit, and you are even willing to keep someone by your side. You can't understand this.
Whoever marries a man will be unlucky. I've already stepped in, now that I have the chance to leave, how can I stay?"
Lu Hainan hurriedly explained: "My cousin is timid. She did something wrong just because she was too sincere to me and wanted to stay by my side. She didn't really want to poison me..."
Chu Yunli turned around impatiently and said: "It's a medicine that's three parts poisonous. A doctor who has been practicing medicine for many years might make a mistake. Why do you think the medicine she gave you was just the right dose?"
In her last life, Lu Hainan was turned into a living dead by her.
Lu Hainan was silent for a moment: "We have a deep relationship and she will not kill me."
The tone is firm.
Chu Yunli sneered: "So after she apologized to you, you forgive her and plan to keep her by your side to take care of her?"
Lu Hainan showed bitterness on his face: "In the past few years, apart from my mother, this is the only family member I have left. Ruyu, can you understand?"
"I don't understand, so I plan to leave. Don't force me to stay." Chu Yunli waved her hand: "Stop saying that you want to take care of me sincerely for the rest of your life. I won't believe it, and I feel a little sick after hearing it.
"
Lu Hainan: "..."
He wanted to say something more, but the woman in front of him had already quickened his pace and left.
After this incident, the Lu family continued as usual. Jiang Huanli did not move out.
Chu Yunli didn't go to make trouble, nor did she want to go back to the Duke's Mansion. She planned to rest here for a few days. After all, after returning to the Duke's Mansion, she would never have a quiet life.
On this day, it was a rare good day. Chu Yunli was taking a walk in the yard. Qi Qi came in from the outside with suppressed excitement in his eyes. He was so happy that he didn't care about his dignity. He grabbed Chu Yunli's sleeve and walked towards the house.
lira.
Chu Yunli shook his head and laughed.
Qiyue and Deng Ruyu have been dependent on each other for many years. Deng Ruyu did not die well in this house in her previous life. As the person closest to her, Qiyue's end was not much better.
The master and servant arrived at the house, and Qi Qi handed over a letter: "Aunt Mei in the backyard pushed it over. It is said that it was sent by a young man named Hua."
The surname Hua is very rare, but Sun Huayao occasionally calls himself this to deliver letters to Deng Ruyu.
Chu Yunli sighed inwardly and tore open the envelope.
The letter said that he had been ill for the past few days and could not get out of bed. He was very sad about her marriage, but he understood her thoughts and did not blame her. He also said that he had inquired about Mr. Lu's family.
His illness did not look like he was going to die immediately, but he heard that he was very weak and would not live long, so he was willing to wait. When he was thirty, if Luo Fu still had a husband, he would give up his intention to marry another man.
The implication is that he still wants to wait for Deng Ruyu for several years.
In her previous life, when Deng Ruyu received the letter from Aunt Sun inviting her to elope when she returned home, she was both happy and uncomfortable. People can only be bold a few times in their lives, so she gave up after much thought.
After all, loving someone does not mean destroying him, nor does it mean staying together forever. Sun Huayao has a bright future. Although the two of them can be sweet for a while after leaving the capital, how long can they be sweet?
Deng Ruyu didn't dare to bet. In the past ten years of her life, this was probably the only true love she had received. Rather than looking at each other in the future for temporary happiness, it would be better to say goodbye and keep those good things in her heart.
.
When she got this letter, she replied, saying that she was married and would never interact with Sun Huayao in private, either for her own reputation or for the sake of the government.
Sun Huayao received the letter and fell seriously ill again. When he got better, the Sun family and the Duke's government even set a wedding date.
If the marriage has reached this stage, then breaking off the engagement will not bring honor to the government. Sun Huayao no longer wants to marry, but he has to take care of his family. He has been studying for so many years and has been supported by his family. He cannot let the family's many years of hard work go to waste.
Deng Ruyue got married as she wished.
The couple respected each other as guests, and Deng Ruyue was like a madman, tossing everyone in the Sun family. Deng Ruyu left early, and she didn't know the final outcome of the Sun family. She only knew that Deng Ruyue was not a good wife, and she could not be allowed to ruin her cousin.
.
Qi Qiyue was very curious, but she didn't dare to read more. Seeing her master put the letter away, she curiously asked: "What did the master say?"
"He is sick." Chu Yunli sighed: "Students are weak."
On July 1, I didn’t know how to answer the call.
Just at this moment, the door was pushed open and Lu Hainan walked in.
He has recently taken the right medicine and is getting healthier, but after all, he has been ill for many years and needs to take good care of himself. After entering the door and seeing the master and servant, his eyes fell on Chu Yunli's hand.
At this moment, Chu Yunli still held the letter in her hand.
Lu Hainan walked up to her: "What is that?"
Chu Yunli raised the letter: "My cousin sent it."
Lu Hainan's face was distorted for a moment: "What did you write?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "If I remember correctly, there is a contract between the two of us. Brother Lu!"
We agreed to call them brother and sister!
Lu Hainan only regretted that he was too kind in the past, gritted his teeth and said: "Even if I am just your brother, it is not wrong to worry about you. I am afraid that you will be deceived by other men."
"My cousin won't lie to me." Chu Yunli looked at him with a bad expression: "The relationship between me and him for many years is not something that you, an outsider, can understand. Just like you are sure that Jiang Huanli will not kill you, he also
It won’t hurt me!”
Lu Hainan couldn't help but emphasize: "You are my wife now. Even if it is fake, it is not good to blatantly interact with men outside, right?"
"I can't!" Chu Yunli stood up: "Are you driving me back to the Duke's mansion?"
"No!" Lu Hainan saw him take two steps and felt anxious: "Ruyu, I've been thinking a lot these days, and I really want you to stay by my side for the rest of my life. Why don't you think about it?"
Chu Yunli walked to the table to pour tea. Hearing this, he laughed: "I don't think about it!"
"Sun Huayao has a great reputation and is indeed better than me. But I am not bad either. If you marry me, at least you will have enough food and clothing. I don't want your dowry to supplement the family's expenses!" Lu Hainan chased him to the table: "How can you do that?"
What makes you think that he must be sincere to you and not just interested in your generous dowry?"
After Chu Yunli finished drinking the tea, she said calmly: "No matter what he likes in me, I will not marry him! There are many men in the world besides you and her."
What he said was that neither of them was going to get married.
Lu Hainan looked surprised: "Then who do you want to marry?"
Chu Yunli said casually: "You also have many choices. Besides marrying me, you can only marry Jiang Huanli. There are so many ladies for you to choose from... However, you mother and son are so indecisive that no one can marry you."
Have a good life."
Lu Hainan thought thoughtfully: "Are you annoyed that I didn't drive my cousin away?" The question came out of his mouth. Without waiting for Chu Yunli's reply, he quickly explained: "My cousin is not loved by my uncle. After coming to our house for many years, I have become even more affectionate with him.
We have all stopped contacting each other there, and we are all alone here in the capital. My mother and I are also worried. However, my mother has already found a matchmaker, and it will not take long for her to get engaged. From now on, we will only treat it as ordinary relatives."
Chu Yunli just thought that these words fell on deaf ears: "Yesterday I received a message from the Duke's Mansion. It will be my father's birthday party in a few days, and I will have to go back then."
Lu Hainan immediately said: "I will accompany you."
"No need." Chu Yunli put down the tea cup: "With your identity, if you go back, you will be ridiculed and criticized just like last time. You might come back with injuries."
"I'm not afraid." Lu Hainan emphasized: "We are husband and wife, and we should advance and retreat together."
Hearing this, Chu Yunli frowned: "Don't say such things again, I don't like to hear them."
Lu Hainan didn't think she was joking and really didn't dare to say anything anymore.
In the next few days, Mrs. Lu attached great importance to this birthday banquet and specially invited the embroiderer to come and tailor clothes for Chu Yunli.
Chu Yunli refused on the spot, saying that she had already prepared. When the day came, Lu Hainan arrived at the door at dawn and waited patiently.
Judging from the posture, he had to go. It is worth mentioning that after Chu Yunli went out, he found that there was only one carriage in the house. This was obviously to let the young couple spend time alone.
They can't leave separately on the day they return home. There are no such rules today. Chu Yunli doesn't care about this, but he doesn't want to let the Lu family mother and son get what they want.
Lu Hainan often comes to apologize these days, and Chu Yunli has never let go of letting Jiang Huanli stay from beginning to end, but she is still living well in her own yard... This is the attitude of the Lu family mother and son.
Chu Yunli got on the carriage by herself, blocking Lu Hainan who was about to get in with him: "Mr. Lu, there are differences between men and women."
Such unfamiliarity was not new to Lu Hainan, because she had been like this these days. He smiled and said: "We are husband and wife. There should be many guests at the door of the Duke's Mansion today, and one more carriage will bring more guests."
If there's a bit of congestion, let's go together! Don't worry, I'm a gentleman and will never be rude to a beautiful lady."
Chu Yunli narrowed his eyes and was about to drive the person away or kick him down when he saw Jiang Huanli standing not far away.
At this moment, Jiang Huanli was dressed in white, and the breeze was blowing her skirt. She was like a fairy in the clouds, and it seemed that she might ride the wind away at any time. In the past few days, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and she became more and more like a poor little flower swaying in the wind.
White flowers.
"Hey, your cousin is here."
Lu Hainan didn't look back: "Ruyu, let's go together!"
Chu Yunli nodded: "Come up."
It seemed that he wanted to kick someone just now, but now he changed his mind. Lu Hainan hurriedly went up and sat down. The woman opposite had already closed her eyes and fell asleep. He was free and began to think about the reasons that made the woman in front of him change his mind. After thinking about it,
It seemed that Deng Ruyu relaxed after her cousin appeared.
Whether he is really afraid that he will be seduced by his cousin, or he just wants to make his cousin angry, this is a good thing for him. At least it shows that the woman in front of him starts to care about him.
The Duke's Mansion was happy. Not only the colleagues in the court but also the capital city had many people who wanted to curry favor with the Duke's Mansion. When Chu Yunli's carriage arrived, the gate was already crowded. A steward saw her coming and stepped forward.
He said apologetically: "Girl, we can't get in at the moment. Can you wait a moment?"
If you can't get in, what can you do if you don't wait?
Chu Yunli leaned on the carriage: "As soon as possible!"
The steward nodded and bowed, then turned around and curled his lips. She was just a girl who was not loved by the master of the house. How could she show off?
It was also because he secretly took advantage of others and deliberately left Deng Ruyu at the door for as long as possible.
This wait lasted only half an hour. Chu Yunli didn't care. She came back just to watch the show and had nothing serious to do. But Lu Hainan was different. His health had improved a lot these days and he had begun to make plans for the future. He himself thought about it early.
Come back and accompany the Duke to entertain guests and let everyone in the capital know yourself.
As long as he knows enough people, he can find a way to find a suitable job by himself without the help of the Duke's government.
Therefore, seeing that the carriage was not moving, he felt anxious. From time to time, he opened the curtain and looked outside, and then he discovered something was wrong: "Ruyu, the carriage next door is obviously behind us, but it enters the door first than us. Our side
But no one has greeted me, why don't you ask Qi Qi to ask?"
"We are the host, so we should let the guests come in first." Chu Yunli opened her eyes and looked at him: "If you are in a hurry, just walk over by yourself."
In fact, as the son-in-law of the Duke's Palace, he is closer than many guests outside. It's not a big deal if he walks over by himself. However, Lu Hainan feels guilty. He is not a high-status person. Being able to marry the daughter of the Duke's Palace is purely a matter of fact.
Good luck. On a big day like today, if you walk outside alone, you don't know how you will be commented on by outsiders.
At that moment, he suppressed the anxiety in his heart and leaned on the carriage: "I'm afraid that others will see that you are the daughter of the Duke's palace but you are stuck here unable to move, and you will be laughed at."
"I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?" Chu Yunli waved her hand: "Just wait patiently!"
As the sun gradually got higher, the guests from outside were ushered in. Although there were still people coming in a steady stream, most of the people who wanted to please the Duke's Mansion came early. Those who came late were all with status.
.A carriage was standing at the door, which was really unsightly. So, after waiting for half an hour, Chu Yunli finally got in.
The person who led her in was not the steward who greeted her just now. Chu Yunli looked at the woman leading the way with a smile: "The steward of Shanting looks young, and he is quite forgetful. He told me to wait there.
After a while, I was asked to wait for a full hour. If Madam is free, remember to tell the chief steward about this matter. Those who can't do their job should not occupy the seat."
The mother-in-law's face changed slightly: "I'll talk to you soon."
On the way down, the mother-in-law bent even deeper.
Men and women were treated separately in the house. After walking for a long time, Chu Yunli reached a fork in the road without looking back.
Lu Hainan looked at her back and sighed in his heart. Deng Ruyu didn't even try to hide it now, and refused to get close to him in front of outsiders. On the way in, he backed away as soon as he approached her, even pretending to be a loving couple.
Too lazy to pretend.
As soon as Chu Yunli entered the back garden, she saw red flowers and green willows everywhere. For a moment, she felt that her eyes were not full. Aunt Sun came over and scolded in a low voice: "Why did you come here?"
"I'm here, but the steward at the door won't let me in." Chu Yunli asked curiously: "No one from the Sun family is here?"
Aunt Sun looked uncomfortable for a moment: "Hua Yao is here, don't get too close to him. There are so many people, so if someone looks at you..."
Chu Yunli just asked casually, and that was all she said. In the final analysis, those words made her think too much, because her daughter had not put down her nephew yet. She immediately interrupted: "I thought you were entertaining the Sun family and had no time to talk to me.
That’s it.”
Hearing this, Aunt Sun looked at her daughter's features carefully and saw that she was not sad or disappointed. She exhaled: "You girl, they are my relatives, but you are not an outsider, you are my biological daughter! I just said
I keep looking over here, and until I see you, I can’t let go, because I’m afraid something will happen to you.”
While they were talking, another woman came over. This was Deng Ruyu's biological aunt and Sun Huayao's mother, Mrs. Li.
Li Shi smiled and said: "Ruyu seems to have gained a little weight after getting married. It shows that life in the Lu family is good."
With a smile on his face and a gentle tone, it was as if the engagement between the two families had never happened before.
Aunt Sun looked uncomfortable and agreed: "This girl has a big heart and can live a good life wherever she goes."
Although she knew that she said this to make her sister-in-law give up her thoughts, and that it was best for the once unmarried couple not to have any contact with each other. Chu Yunli still felt a little blocked in her heart. She looked around: "Where is Ruyue?"
Aunt Sun almost couldn't hold her breath: "You...she targets you at every turn. It's hard not to see anyone, but you still want to get in touch with her yourself?"
"I'm bored and looking for someone to bicker with." Chu Yunli waved her hand and left without looking back.
Aunt Sun: "..." This girl would rather run to face the people she hates than spend more time with the Sun family?
She wasn't sure if she was overthinking it, so she turned her head and looked at her sister-in-law: "Third girl, she just loves to joke with Ruyu. The relationship between the sisters is not bad, and they don't take it to heart if they quarrel occasionally."
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Sister, I'm joking. It's your turn and mine to choose between the girls in the Duke's Mansion?" It would be nice to get one, no matter what her temper is.
