The Prime Minister's Mansion is very large, and it took me a long and winding walk to reach the front hall.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw everyone sitting there waiting for her. Her third sister, Chu Qingcheng, had already changed her clothes. Except that her face was a little pale, there was nothing strange about her.
Prince Xuan Yunmoxuan was sitting next to Prime Minister Chu. After Chu Qingyi was reborn, she once again saw the man she loved deeply in her previous life.
It has to be said that even if we meet again after a lifetime, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is as beautiful as ever.
She thought she would be heartbroken, but she didn't expect that that handsome and innocent face appeared in front of her again, and her heart couldn't stir up any waves at all.
Because she knows that his heart is cold! Does he really love only her third sister Chu Qingcheng? In the previous life, she, like others, always thought that what he cared about most was her third sister Chu Qingcheng. But once he was reborn, Yun said goodbye.
Mo Xuan and Chu Qingyi no longer think so.
What he loves most is probably himself!
In the previous life, I was stupid, thinking that as long as I was docile and gentle enough, Yun Moxuan would look at me more, so I foolishly agreed to marry Chu Qingcheng to him. In addition, my position as the real princess was stolen.
Then I chose to swallow my anger.
But now that I think about it, the whole thing was probably done with his tacit approval. I am afraid that even the falling into the water of the third sister was planned by him. Otherwise, he was already engaged to himself, how could he have the third sister as well?
And marry him back?
"I have met His Highness Prince Xuan, and I have met my father and mother." Withdrawing her gaze, Chu Qingyi saluted to Prime Minister Chu and Mrs. Chu.
"Qingyi." Prime Minister Chu has always been displeased with this timid and cowardly daughter who can't get on the stage. Today, he had a rare smile on his face and said, "Hurry up and sit down."
Chu Qingyi did not refuse, but sat down generously.
Mr. Chu glanced at his stepwife. Mrs. Chu understood and said with a smile: "Qingyi, I have called you here because I have something to discuss with you."
"Mother, please speak." Chu Qingyi knew what Mrs. Chu was going to say, but she still pretended to know nothing.
Mrs. Chu smiled again, "Um...your third sister fell into the water today, and it was His Highness King Xuan who saved her."
"Thank you, His Highness Prince Xuan, for saving my sister's life." Chu Qingyi rushed to speak, and immediately blocked the second half of what Mrs. Chu wanted to say in her throat, but Chu Qingyi said nothing wrong.
Pick, this made Mrs. Chu, who originally wanted to finish talking about this kind of thing in one breath, choked up. She couldn't help but glance at Mr. Chu.
His Royal Highness Prince Xuan also looked a little embarrassed and couldn't help but bowed, "Young lady, you don't have to be polite."
For some reason, Chu Qingyi's words of thanks made him feel a little uncomfortable.
It is true that he likes Chu Qingcheng, but it was Chu Qingyi who was engaged to him at the beginning. His mother-in-law, Princess An, didn't like Chu Qingcheng for some reason. She always said that Chu Qingcheng was too flamboyant, but it was the character of the second daughter of Prime Minister Chu.
She would be a good wife if she was docile, so she made an appointment with Chu Qingyi behind his back.
Because of this matter, he often got angry with Concubine An.
Prime Minister Chu frowned and motioned to Madam Chu, Madam Chu, to continue.
Mrs. Chu cleared her throat and said, "Qingyi, the most important thing in a daughter's family is honor. Although your third sister fell into the water today and was rescued by His Highness King Xuan, she was looked at by His Highness and was picked up by His Highness in public.
I am afraid that I will not be able to marry anyone else in the future, so I called you here today because I want to tell you that it is better for your third sister to marry into Prince Xuan’s palace with you. You are sisters and will take care of each other in the future.
Not only can you restore your sister's reputation, but you can also create a good story!"
Tsk, tsk, tsk! Although it was not what Chu Qingyi expected, but hearing this kind of words again, Chu Qingyi couldn't help but be shocked by her father's favoritism and stepmother's viciousness.
How did she endure it in her previous life? Chu Qingyi couldn't help but despise herself again.
Seeing Chu Qingyi looking at her with wide eyes, Mrs. Chu also felt very embarrassed, but she still raised her shoulders and said, "Qingyi?"
"Mother, are you negotiating with me or informing me?" Chu Qingyi pretended to be crying, pulled up her sleeves to half cover her face, and then looked at King Xuan, secretly thinking about King Xuan. He cursed, "You stink and have no shame!"
Prince Xuan Yunmo Xuan caught a glimpse of Chu Qingyi's eyes and was slightly startled. Chu Qingyi seemed a little different today. In the past, she didn't even dare to look at him when she saw him! But the way she looked at him just now seemed It was transparent and a bit sarcastic, as if she had seen through something, and this look immediately made him feel a little guilty.
"Qingyi!" Seeing that his stepwife, Mrs. Chu, was speechless after being asked a question by Chu Qingyi, Mr. Chu simply took over, "You are the elder sister, and you should let your sister go! Now your sister has suffered. This is the best solution to such a big grievance."
"So the father and mother called their daughter here today just to inform them?" Chu Qingyi lowered her eyes, covering her own eyes, and asked dumbly. "The daughter's opinion is so insignificant in the eyes of the father and mother. Really? As an elder sister, my daughter has never had any dispute with her. The marriage contract with His Royal Highness King Xuan was also made by her father, mother and Concubine An. My sister accidentally fell into the water, so she asked me, the elder sister, to keep her marriage contract Give it up, right?"
Xiang Chu obviously didn't expect that this second daughter, who always kept silent, would say so much today. This matter was indeed a bit unreasonable, but it was also the only way to protect Chu Qingcheng.
"I'm not trying to steal your engagement. I'm just asking your sister to marry into Prince Xuan's palace with you." Mr. Chu said patiently.
"Father also used the word grab!" Chu Qingyi still lowered her eyes to prevent everyone from seeing the light in her eyes. She was not angry, but felt cold. Mrs. Chu was not her biological mother, how could she do this? It was just a stupid move, but the handsome middle-aged man sitting on the Taishi chair in front of him was his real father!
Perhaps deep down in his heart, only Chu Qingcheng was his biological daughter.
"Now I just want to ask my father and mother. The third sister fell into the water, and His Highness Prince Xuan is not the only one who saw the third sister in such a mess!" Chu Qingyi said slowly, "Why do you say that marrying His Highness Prince Xuan is the only one? Choice? Even if His Royal Highness King Xuan rescued the third sister, he had to have physical contact, but rescuing people was a matter of urgency. How could he care about so many etiquette and ethics. Saving his future wife and sister should not be a matter of course. Brother-in-law is like an elder brother. Why do you say that the third sister is innocent because he was saved by His Highness King Xuan? What if the person who saved the third sister today was not His Highness King Xuan, but a passing servant or a beggar, father and mother Do you also insist on marrying your third sister to a servant or a beggar? And is your third sister really willing to do this?"
Chu Qingcheng's face suddenly became even more pale, "Sister, you didn't want me to live, so you just said so directly, why bother to hurt me like this!"
"So if the person who saves you is King Xuan, it is not harming you, but if the person who saves you is a servant or a beggar, it is harming you?" Chu Qingyi raised her eyes and frowned and asked. "What's the point of this? Isn't it true that we don't care about saving you?
Are you your savior no matter who you are? You should treat them equally!"
"Qingyi!" When Chu Xiang heard this, he was furious. He slammed the table hard, "Why are you talking so much today!"
