Chapter 261 Zhou Yu winks, a little love-brained, grasps ~
Jiang Qiyun had already gone in, but Jing'an Hou had been standing there for a long time without moving.
Until the afterglow of the setting sun stretched his shadow out, the servant next to him stood for a long time until his legs were numb and he recovered. Then he stepped forward and asked bravely, "My Lord, shall we go in?"
Upon hearing this, Marquis Jing'an closed his eyes, let out a long breath, nodded slightly, and walked into the mansion with a look of despair.
"Marquis? Why is the Marquis here?" The Marquis's wife asked when she saw the old Marquis coming towards her in the corridor.
Jing'an Hou looked at his wife for a moment, and finally said earnestly: "I think it was quite normal for our evil creature to like Qiao Yihuan."
Madam Hou: "Ah? What is the Marquis talking about?"
Marquis Jing'an said nothing more, shook his head and walked towards the study.
This is becoming more and more abnormal. Is this his fate, destined to have a stupid son?
The night was as dark as ink, covering the entire capital city. The bright moon rose, casting a cool glow, quiet and distant.
The lanterns on the long street were occasionally lit, swaying slightly in the breeze and casting mottled shadows on the ground. It was extremely quiet, so the voice of the night watchman was particularly clear at night.
In the Yongning Pavilion of the Shangshu Mansion, Qiao Wanyan was still awake.
The long gauze dress was as thin as a cicada's wing, and under the soft glow of the night pearl, it seemed to be woven by moonlight. The white shoulders and neck had beautiful lines, and the vagueness of the gauze dress simply added a bit of coolness.
She stood in front of the table, holding a pen and writing on the rice paper. Her handwriting was like flowing clouds and running water, soft, delicate and powerful.
Occasionally, he would stop writing and tuck his hair behind his ears, admiring the poem on paper before continuing to write.
There was a knock on the door and Ziyuan walked in with a bowl of calming soup.
"Miss, there's news over there."
Zi Yuan put down the tranquilizing soup and said, "The second branch will send Qiao Chuxue to the farm in the countryside of Lizhou the day after tomorrow and announce to the public that she is recuperating. At dusk, the second branch deliberately took advantage of the lax guards at the ancestral hall on the 15th day of the lunar year to let Qiao Chuxue sneak out."
Qiao Wanyan didn't show any major emotional fluctuations. She continued writing and listened to her next words.
Zi Yuan: "Qiao Chuxue was very cautious, and the second house listened to the young lady and did not send anyone to follow her secretly. The secret guards of the Shangshu Mansion followed her all the way and found that Qiao Chuxue went to a shop that had been closed for a long time. That shop was owned by Qiao Chuxue, but it closed a few months ago. I heard that it was closed because the benefits were not good."
After Qiao Wanyan finished writing the last word, she looked at the poem on the rice paper and felt very satisfied.
"Do you know who the adulterer is?"
Zi Yuan looked up at her, "Zhou Yu."
Qiao Wanyan lowered her eyes. So that's how it is.
There was only one candle lit in the inner room of the shop. The two were close and Zhou Yu could see that Qiao Chuxue looked very haggard.
"Chu Xue, I heard that your marriage with General Zhongwu was cancelled, but why did your family send you to the countryside? Are these still your biological parents?!"
Zhou Yu held her hand tightly. "How could they let you suffer in the countryside like this? You are a pampered young lady!"
Qiao Chuxue had been missing Zhou Yu for the past few days and had lost her appetite. She just wanted to escape and see him. Now that they finally met, she cried with tears streaming down her face.
"It doesn't matter! Although life is a little harder and far inferior to that in the capital, we can stay together forever and live together in a beautiful mountain village!"
Zhou Yu's body stiffened for a moment.
Qiao Chuxue was immersed in the beautiful life in the future and said, "As long as I can be with you, I can accept any hardship or fatigue. Didn't you say that before? If I were not a daughter of the Qiao family, you could take me to live in a paradise where no one knows me. Now, we can realize this wish. Are you happy, Yulang?"
Zhou Yu was so angry that he cursed, "Go to the countryside? Go to the mountain village?"
Fuck her!
He feels that his current life is not worthy of him, so how could he possibly live in such a remote and poor place where no one lives?
"First snow, but..."
"But what? You don't want to?"
Zhou Yu sighed heavily, "Of course I am willing. I want to be with you forever, no matter how hard or tiring it is."
Qiao Chuxue pursed her lips and smiled shyly.
Zhou Yu added: "But, I am the only son in the family. If I take you to live in a remote mountain village, what will happen to my parents? Filial piety is the most important virtue. If I ignore my parents and run away with you, wouldn't I be an unfilial person?"
Qiao Chuxue was stunned for a moment, and felt a little distressed when she saw how embarrassed he was.
Yes, how could I be so selfish?
but.......
"Don't you have a younger sister? Can't you let your sister take care of your parents? Otherwise, when we get over there and settle down, you can wait for a few years and let your parents come and live with us. I will definitely be filial to your parents!" Qiao Chuxue vowed.
Zhou Yu suddenly let go of her hand and frowned, "My parents are getting old, and I can bear the hardship alone, but how can I let them give up everything in the capital and live with me and you in the countryside? How can you say such words that make me an unfilial son? You are too much!"
Qiao Chuxue was stunned and tried to pull his hand, but Zhou Yu shook her off and turned his back to her.
"Yulang, I'm not, I'm not... Don't be angry, it's all my fault."
Zhou Yu was in a stalemate for a moment, but for the sake of the overall situation, he endured it. He turned around, sighed heavily, and said earnestly: "I didn't mean to be mean to you, but I think your parents don't love you enough. You are a noble person, how could they drive you to a miserable place like the countryside? Even if you did something wrong, you are still their biological daughter after all!"
Qiao Chuxue remained silent, lowered her head and said nothing.
Zhou Yu held her in his arms, "Chuxue, I want to be with you, but I don't want to make you suffer."
"But what can we do?"
Naturally, she also wanted to live the rich and prosperous life she had before and stay with Yulang forever.
Zhou Yu coaxed, "I do have a way, but it's a little risky."
"What is the solution?"
Zhou Yu said gently: "If your cousin and I are already married, Minister Qiao will definitely love his daughter and will not want to drive your cousin to the countryside like your parents did. When we get married, I will ask Minister Qiao to take you as his concubine. If Minister Qiao disagrees, I will kneel down for the rest of my life to ask him to agree! This way we can be together, and you can live a pampered life."
Qiao Chuxue was silent, somewhat unwilling.
Zhou Yu quickly added, "It's just that I have to wrong you, but isn't this what we planned in the beginning? Although you are a concubine, you are my true love, and I will never wrong you. Even if I favor my concubine over my wife a little too much, I will still hold you at the top of my heart. If Minister Qiao punishes me or scolds me, I will just bear it. Do you believe me?"
Qiao Chuxue shed tears of emotion, "Yulang, I believe you. You've been so good to me, how could I not believe you?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Well, the day after tomorrow you will be sent away by your cruel parents. We don't have much time left. Bring Qiao Wanyan here tomorrow. This is our last chance!"
It's too dangerous to rely on myself, so it's safer to let Chuxue help me.
"Don't worry, for our future, I will definitely bring her here."
