Dark clouds and rain fell, and the wind blew coldly. The two of them were clearly very close to each other, but it seemed as if they were pulled far apart...
Chu Li's body was a little stiff:
"Uncle, I told you, I didn't sleep well. Happiness, anger, sadness, and joy are normal emotions for everyone. You...you should go ahead and do your work first."
She pushed his chest open, crawled under his arm, picked up the soft sword on the ground, and ran into the room.
Chu Dichi stood alone beside the tree, his tall body shrouded in the hazy night, looking so cold and gloomy that no one dared to approach him.
Coincidentally, this scene was seen by Sun Yuxue who was not far away.
them……
Is this a quarrel?
-
Chu Li did not sleep well that night. He felt depressed and his mind was shrouded in all kinds of trivial matters. His thoughts were like silk threads, so confusing that he could not make sense of them.
And he...
Not back yet.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, but he didn't return to his room.
It's impossible to be busy with official business so late.
Where did he go?
Chu Li tossed and turned for a long time, unable to fall asleep until dawn, when he fell into a drowsy sleep.
The next day.
She got up early, and Sun Yuxue also came early:
"Sister Wan Yue!"
The little girl came running in, lively and cheerful, innocent and simple.
Chu Li washed her face and felt a little better. She came over and said, "Miss Sun."
"Sister, you can just call me Yuxue. Yuxue is the only daughter in the family. Since I was young, I have envied other families who have many sisters. I have always dreamed of having a sister."
She trotted over with a smile and took Chu Li's arm:
"Since I saw Sister Wanyue for the first time, I felt very close to her. So I came here specially to have dinner with her in the front hall!"
Chu Li smiled faintly:
"I'm sorry for bothering you these past few days."
"What are you talking about, sister? I love you so much that I can't wait."
Sun Yuxue took Chu Li's arm and went to the front hall together.
The maids were preparing food, but Chu Li looked around and did not find Chu Dichi.
"Early this morning, I saw the Regent leave the house. It seemed like something happened." Sun Yuxue picked up the spoon and drank the porridge.
"oh."
So that's it.
Chu Li didn't think any more about it.
"Sister Wanyue has gentle features and is very approachable. She reminds me of my mother. My mother is also such a gentle and beautiful woman. Daddy treats her very well."
Chu Li smiled: "I can see that."
Only loving parents can raise a lively and confident child like Sun Yuxue.
Sun Yuxue bit the spoon and said softly:
"Dad never took a concubine in his life, only my mother. No matter what my mother said or did, Dad never shook his head, let alone said a harsh word to her."
"Even if my mother did something wrong, my father would never lose his temper."
Her eyes sparkled: "My mother said this is called... well, true love, respect for each other."
Chu Li took a sip of porridge with a calm smile on his face. He seemed neither distant nor too interested in the topic.
But Sun Yuxue kept on talking:
"Sister Wanyue is such a gentle person. She must be like my mother. She will meet someone who is infinitely tolerant, doting, and indulgent to you, and who won't even say a harsh word to you."
Chu Li glanced at her indifferently.
Last night, she had a dispute with Chu Dichi.
What she meant was that Chu Dichi didn't love her?
Chu Li withdrew his gaze and pinched a bun to eat.
Sun Yuxue said a lot happily, but as she spoke, she saw that Chu Li's reaction was indifferent, and there was no expression of sadness or joy on his face.
She provoked so much, why didn't she react?
Last night, she seemed to have had an argument with the Regent, but she was able to remain calm...
If they don't make a fuss, how will she have the chance to take advantage of the situation?
Sun Yuxue hid her thoughts and said sensibly:
"Sister Wanyue, I seemed to see you and the Regent having an unpleasant argument last night."
Chu Li took a bite of the bun:
"A little bit."
"Don't be sad!"
Sun Yuxue covered the back of her hand, "Sister, you are beautiful and kind-hearted. I like you very much. What's more, it's a man. Even if there is no regent, there will be many excellent men who are willing to make you laugh."
Chu Li ate the buns calmly:
"Meeting and parting are all fate. I am not sad."
"Really? Sister Wanyue, don't you like the Regent?"
"It's normal. If you ask me who I like the most, I still like myself the most."
Yeah?
That’s great!
The entire Great Chu knew that the Regent had never married or had any concubines, and no woman could get close to him. How could Xie Wanyue be the only exception?
She is just a small flower among thousands of women.
Just because she can't get the man doesn't mean that she, Sun Yuxue, can't do it.
"I have a cousin who is only 20 years old, very refined and elegant, and he passed the imperial examination at a young age. He must have a bright future. If I could become his juren wife, I don't know how blessed I would be in the future!"
Just as Sun Yuxue was speaking so innocently, footsteps were heard outside the hall:
"Master Liu, please."
After a while, Liu Shengnan came over.
"Cousin? Speak of the devil, how come you have time to come here today?"
Liu Shengnan said, "I came to see my uncle for something... Who is this..."
When he saw Chu Li, his eyes almost popped out.
Sun Yuxue said, "Please sit down. I'll introduce you. This is Miss Xie Wanyue."
Last name Xie?
In Tianshui City, it seems that there is no official or wealthy businessman with the surname Xie.
Maybe he came from a small family.
It’s really unbelievable that a small family could raise such a beautiful person.
Chu Li slowly finished the last bite of the bun and said calmly, "Thank you for taking care of me, Miss Sun. I have nothing to repay you for."
Sun Yuxue waved her hands hurriedly, her eyes were very innocent:
"Don't bother, don't bother. How could Sister Wanyue not be willing to repay you? I'll introduce my cousin to you, and you introduce the regent to me. It's a fair exchange between us."
