Even though Zhang Huizhen felt uncomfortable after hearing this, she didn't turn around and leave.
Firstly, she didn't think the girl in front of her had such a smart mind and made a pun to mock her. Secondly, she hadn't asked what she wanted to ask yet.
"This marriage is a matter of a lifetime. If you choose the wrong person, won't you suffer every day?" Zhang Huizhen followed the temptation, "How can you be ignorant of good and evil if you fight for yourself?"
It’s not over yet!
Chu Yunli finally raised her eyes, "I said I don't have a sweetheart and I don't want to marry anyone, so how can I ask for it?"
Hearing this, Zhang Huizhen couldn't help but said, "But you and Cousin Hu are not the only two..."
Chu Yunli was surprised, "He is just a cousin. Besides, we all know who he is. Speaking of which, he is also my brother. How can this brother and sister... you better shut up!"
Zhang Huizhen was annoyed, "But I saw you two with my own eyes..."
"What happened to the two of us?" Chu Yunli looked curious. She felt very stable. There was indeed some ambiguity between Liu Yuehe and Hu Yibin before, but for more than a year, apart from exchanging letters, the two of them got along in person.
They all abide by the etiquette, not to mention hugging, even holding hands, and have never done anything out of the ordinary.
Even if it's a letter, the one I received today is more out of the ordinary. The previous letters were all about trivial matters, but they only contained some words of comfort and seemed ambiguous.
Zhang Huizhen opened her mouth and said, "I saw you two talking."
"It's normal to talk!" Chu Yunli said seriously, "Don't you talk to your cousin?"
Zhang Huizhen: "..."
She was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, she had never seen any ambiguity between Liu Yuehe and Hu Yibin. In the end, she had to say, "I mean well. If you really have nothing to do with your cousin, then it's your business. You better not regret it in the future."
"What do you regret?" Rong Piao walked in with a smile.
Chu Yunli smiled and said, "My cousin insisted that there was nothing unclear between me and Cousin Hu, so I asked my grandmother to agree to the marriage."
Rong Piao's face instantly turned ugly, "Huixun, I will ask your mother about this!"
Zhang Huizhen didn't panic, stood up and said with a smile, "You can do whatever you want. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
He left as soon as he said so, and he really didn't have any respect for an elder like Rong Piao.
Rong Piao wasn't angry either. He looked at her with a solemn expression after going out, "How did she know about this?"
"You really didn't do anything inappropriate between you?" Rong Piao's tone was full of doubt.
"No." Chu Yunli said firmly, Zhang Huizhen's master and servant could no longer be seen from the window, "Mother, aren't you angry?"
Rong Piao followed her gaze, understood what she meant, and smiled slightly, "It's impossible for her to stay in the Yuan family forever. She is uneducated and rude, and she will suffer a lot in the future. Getting into trouble with her will only make my life worse."
Life is even harder."
To put it bluntly, he is cowardly!
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows, "What if she has to stay for the rest of her life?"
Rong Piao: "..."
"I know you're not happy about not agreeing to the marriage. But I'm doing it for your own good. Do you have to choke me like this?"
The maid brought tea and then left obediently. Chu Yunli saw the door closed and said with a smile, "I'm serious. If the old lady finds a suitable grandson to marry her, wouldn't she be able to keep him?"
A lifetime?"
Furthermore, given the old lady's love for Zhang Huizhen, if she became the granddaughter-in-law of the Yuan family, the power of running the family would directly pass over Rong Piao and fall directly into the hands of Zhang Huizhen.
Rong Piao is a very smart woman, otherwise she would not be here today. After understanding what Chu Yunli meant, her jaw tensed up, but she soon relaxed, "Quan'er is only ten years old, she can't wait. Besides, the old lady
If she doesn't like me, she can't let me be her mother-in-law. Except for Quan'er, everyone in this family is a commoner. Even if she gets married, she can't be the mother-in-law. The old lady won't agree..."
"Mom, you are thinking too well." Chu Yunli interrupted her, "The Hu family has a serious grandson who is about the same age and has the backing of the Hu family. He is the best candidate. There are many people in this city.
I can’t find many people with such a background.”
Rong Piao did not refute immediately, but frowned, "Didn't you say that she urged you to ask the old lady for this marriage?"
Chu Yunli shook her finger and told what happened in Rongheyuan just now. At the end, she said, "Although the old lady didn't mean to belittle, what she said subconsciously is her truth. In her heart, I even take care of my family."
If she’s not worthy enough, how can she touch her direct grandson?”
Whether Rong Piaocheng admits it or not, Mrs. Hu is the old lady's favorite daughter-in-law, and the old lady also likes the children she gave birth to more.
Rong Piao's face was tense and he grinded his teeth. After thinking for a long time, he looked at his daughter in front of him and said suspiciously, "Why are you talking so much today? Or are you not giving up at all? You just want me to agree to this marriage.
?”
"No." Chu Yunli leaned back on the couch, "Do you believe it or not? Anyway, the days are still long, just wait and see." He remembered something again, "By the way, you can pick two more girls for me."
Rong Piao thought for a long time, then slowly stood up and went out. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "It seems that you are also smart. So, I feel relieved."
Chu Yunli lowered her eyebrows to cover the expression in her eyes.
Even if her daughter is stupid, she doesn't bother too much!
In the evening, two girls were sent to her. Xiaolian became more and more uneasy. In addition to being anxious, she kept the two girls away from them.
Chu Yunli was too lazy to care. The original Liu Yuehe was timid, couldn't eat, and had no one to care about her. Her body was very weak. Recently, she was busy recuperating her body.
After the last time she sent a letter, there was no news from the Hu family.
In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month, the day of the New Year, and Hu Yibin returned to Yuan's house.
Early in the morning, when Chu Yunli went to Ronghe Garden to pay her respects, he heard the old lady's cheerful laughter outside the yard. When he entered, he saw a slender young man in the house.
When they heard her come in, everyone in the room looked over, including Hu Yibin, whose handsome eyes were gentle and full of affection.
With such eyes, it's no wonder that Zhang Huizhen said that there was something going on between the two of them.
Chu Yunli kept walking, her expression unchanged. After stepping forward to say hello, she greeted Hu Yibin and said, "Hello, cousin."
Hu Yibin returned the courtesy, "Hello, cousin."
Everything else was fine. Chu Yunli noticed the gazes of Zhang Huizhen and her daughter beside the old lady. She ignored them and sat aside as usual.
"Yibin, you didn't say you would come back often to see me, an old lady." The old lady pretended to be angry, "Do you dislike me?"
"No." Hu Yibin coaxed with a smile, "My grandson's favorite elder is you. Even my mother has to step aside."
These words successfully made the old lady even happier.
Chu Yunli sat a little bored, clutching her handkerchief and counting the time. When the time came, she stood up and left.
With her sweet grandson at her side, the old lady didn't care about her at all and dismissed her with a wave of her hand.
After leaving the yard, Xiaolian suppressed her joy and said, "Girl, Master Hu is here. He will definitely come to find you. Let's go to the yard for a walk."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed his master's stern gaze.
Chu Yunli was really angry. In the past month, she had made it clear many times from words to actions that she no longer wanted to associate with Hu Yibin. Xiaolian seemed invisible, "If you continue to do this, I can't keep you by my side."
"
Xiaolian immediately knelt down and cried, "Girl, I made a mistake. I don't dare to do it anymore."
"Have I ever told you that no matter how big a mistake you make outside, you have to go back to the yard and plead guilty?" Chu Yunli's tone became more severe, "If others saw it, they would think I was punishing them since childhood.
Big girl, have you ever thought about it for me?"
Xiaolian hurriedly stood up and wiped her tears, but because she was so sad, she couldn't wipe away her tears.
"Hey, what's wrong with Xiaolian?" A gentle and smiling man's voice sounded not far away.
Chu Yunli tilted his head and saw Hu Yibin coming out of the rockery, standing with his hands behind his back, looking quite like a handsome young man.
Hearing this, Xiaolian raised her head in surprise and said, "Hello, Master Hu, I would like to send you my regards."
Calculating the time, Hu Yibin should have chased her out as soon as she left. If it were fifteen-year-old Liu Yuehe here, he would probably be worried about being discovered but also sweet.
But Chu Yunli was here right now, and she just felt irritated. If Zhang Huizhen saw her, she didn’t know what she would say. Liu Yuehe loved him in her previous life, but she broke her heart and lost her life. In this life, she only
I want revenge and I simply don’t want to have anything to do with him at all.
Therefore, while Chu Yunli cut off this relationship, she also had to protect her reputation.
Hu Yibin slowly approached with a smile, "Yuehe, are you not happy to see me?"
"This is your home. Come back if you like." Seeing him getting closer and closer, Chu Yunli took three big steps back and raised her hands, "Stop! There are differences between men and women. Just talk and don't get too close.
, I have very good ears and can hear!"
Seeing that she was avoiding her, Hu Yibin was startled for a moment, then his smile deepened, "Yuehe, you are getting more and more interesting."
Chu Yunli: "..." That's so funny!
He really did not come closer. After signaling Xiaolian to leave, he lowered his voice and said, "I have seriously thought about what you said last time. Now is really not the time to open up our relationship. When the right time comes... Yue He, I will definitely
I will marry you!"
"Thank you for your love!" Seeing him approaching, Chu Yunli took a step back, "But I don't want to marry you."
Seeing that she was not joking, Hu Yibin looked surprised, "Why? Are you angry with me? Or am I not doing well enough?" In desperation, he took two more steps forward.
Chu Yunli wanted to curse in her heart, but out of the corner of her eye she glanced at the broom hidden behind the tree. It should have been hidden here by Sashu's servant, "You said you like it, have you ever thought about the future? You are not from the Hu family.
, we have to return to the Yuan family sooner or later, what will outsiders think of us then?"
Hearing this, Hu Yibin was really surprised, "Who told you this? How do you understand this?"
Chu Yunli approached the big tree, "You just said you won't come back, right?"
Hu Yibin was silent for a long time, "For you, I don't have to reply!"
Chu Yunli: "..." He just opened his mouth.
She looked in disbelief, "You said no, but what about your mother? Because my mother won't like me. If she knew that you gave up this large piece of family property for me, she would want to strangle me to death."
Hu Yibin fell silent again, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "But I just want to marry you! Don't reject me like this. If I do something wrong, you can tell me and I will change it!"
Chu Yunli grabbed the broom and asked, "Why do you like me so much that you insist on marrying me? I'll change it, okay!"
"No, you're fine just like this." Hu Yibin stepped forward and reached out to hug...
What greeted him was a big broom!
The force of the broom was so great that I didn't even touch the beautiful lady, but instead I fell flat on my butt.
