Chen Qiu looked at Ye Chen and said, "I don't know what you are going to do. Your attitude towards me has changed so much. I think I need some time to digest it."
"Also... I can't bring back what you've lost, and I'm not that person either. So, please be careful and don't make the mistake of giving your feelings to someone else."
"Since the Shen family needs your protection, I will obey. There are no outsiders here now, so you don't have to act..."
The more Ye Chen listened to Chen Qiu's words, the gloomier his heart became. She thought he had been acting all along. What should he do? How could he make her let down her guard against him? That person, that person, could no longer be compared to his Qiu'er.
Ye Chen didn't wait for Shen Qiu to finish, he knelt in front of his parents' tablets, raised his right hand and said: "I, Ye Chen, swear in front of my parents that every word I said since I woke up last night is true. If I was acting, I will die a miserable death. If I was deceiving Qiu'er, I will make my parents rest in peace in their nine springs."
Originally, seeing Ye Chen swear, Chen Qiu didn't take it seriously. Anyone would say something like "a bad death", but how many people could keep their oath?
But Ye Chen's subsequent words really scared Chen Qiu. Swearing on one's own parents was extremely disrespectful. Moreover, the whole capital knew about Ye Chen's filial piety towards his parents. Although it was not as good as the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars, it was not bad either.
Chen Qiu also knelt before the tablet, kowtowed and said, "Father and Mother, please don't blame me. My husband spoke without restraint for a moment. Your daughter-in-law apologizes to you on his behalf."
Afterwards, Shen Qiu said solemnly: "If you want to swear, just swear. Why are you making fun of your parents?"
Who knew that when Shen Qiu turned around, he saw Ye Chen with tears streaming down his face. Shen Qiu was a little panicked. What was wrong with Ye Chen? Since waking up from the dream last night, he seemed like a completely different person.
Chen Qiu hesitated, raising his hand, not knowing whether to wipe his tears, and said, "You...just talk. Why are you crying? I...I believe you, okay? Don't cry!"
Ye Chen immediately grabbed Shen Qiu's hand, pressed it against his face, looked at Shen Qiu and said, "I know you can't accept my change all at once, but as long as you believe in me, I will prove to you that I am sincere."
Chen Qiu looked at Ye Chen and asked tentatively: "Aren't you afraid that I'm just saying this to please you?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "No, my Qiu'er has a chivalrous heart and never breaks his promise."
Chen Qiu didn't know where he got such an evaluation from, but he was right. She, Chen Qiu, never broke her promise.
Chen Qiu raised her hand and wiped Ye Chen's tears with disgust. Ye Chen suddenly hugged Chen Qiu and cried again, crying like a child, muttering: "My Qiu'er, I'm back, and I will never let you suffer any grievances again."
Chen Qiu pushed Ye Chen, but Ye Chen hugged her tighter and sobbed, "I'll just cry for a while, and I won't cry anymore."
Chen Qiu stopped and stroked Ye Chen's back. Ye Chen was happy now. It was the excitement of regaining what he had lost and the catharsis of missing someone for many years.
After coming out of Xi Garden, Chen Qiu and Ye Chen held each other's hands, and the forbearance on Chen Qiu's face disappeared.
Chen Qiu is a casual and free-spirited person. Since he is willing to bow his head, it is not a bad idea to give him a chance.
Then let's leave everything to time. Time will not deceive us. No matter how we are with each other, we still have a long way to go.
Ye Chen brought Chen Qiu to the bamboo forest again. When they entered the bamboo forest, they found that there was a different world inside.
There is an open space in the bamboo forest, and next to the open space is a pavilion. In the pavilion, there is a wooden couch with a small table on it and cushions on both sides. This open space is an excellent place to practice martial arts.
Chen Qiu looked at Ye Chen suspiciously. Ye Chen smiled and said, "I know Qiu'er is an expert swordsman, so...will I be lucky enough to feast my eyes on her?"
Mingyue lost no time in stepping forward and saying, "Madam, how about you show off your Falling Leaves and Flying Sand tricks? Let the Duke open his eyes, too."
Chen Qiu squinted his eyes and looked at Mingyue. When did Mingyue betray him? Then he looked at Ye Chen and said, "Must see it?"
Ye Chen leaned his head on Shen Qiu's shoulder and said coquettishly: "It's not that I have to see it, but... can I always lean on your shoulder like this?"
Chen Qiu took a deep breath, pushed Ye Chen away, and leaped forward. He was immediately several feet off the ground. Ming Yuegao shouted, "Catch the sword!"
Mingyue pulled out a soft sword from her waist, which was as soft as a belt, and threw it to Chenqiu. Chenqiu flipped over in the air and caught it.
Xing'er went to Mingyue and asked: "When did you get the sword? How come I didn't know?" Mingyue just laughed and didn't say anything.
Chen Qiu made a few big moves, and the bamboo leaves surrounded her. Although Chen Qiu was a woman, her swordsmanship was murderous, and her swordsmanship was honed on the battlefield.
Chen Qiu had been to the battlefield. Almost every winter, the Tatars in the north would fight a war with them. At that time, Chen Qiu had already returned to the northwest from the capital, so she would go to the battlefield every year after she came of age.
Ye Chen looked at Chen Qiu swinging the sword wantonly. The soft sword seemed to be alive in her hand. The corners of Ye Chen's mouth rose unconsciously.
This is his Qiu'er. His Qiu'er should be like this, different from the girls in the boudoir of Kyoto.
She can defend her country when she advances, or spend time with him under the moonlight. He only needs to be by her side to protect her innocent heart and her purity, and she only needs to let go.
Mingyue said, "What do you think, Duke? My daughter is amazing, isn't she? Isn't she better than these girls in the inner boudoir of Kyoto?"
Ye Chen looked at Mingyue and said, "She is my wife, how did she become yours? If you say so, she is still my wife, understand?"
Mingyue and Xing'er looked at Ye Chen in disbelief. The changes from yesterday to now were too great. No wonder the young lady couldn't adapt to it. Even they, the girls, couldn't adapt to it at once!
Mingyue suddenly felt goose bumps all over her body, and the corner of her mouth twitched as she said, "Yes, it's Madam, not Miss."
As they were talking, Chen Qiu put away his sword and jumped to their side.
As soon as Chen Qiu handed the sword to Mingyue, Ye Chen suddenly hugged Chen Qiu, kissed him with a smack, and said, "My wife is so powerful, she is worthy of being my wife."
Mingyue and Xing'er blushed all the way to their necks. Xing'er hesitated and said, "Well, let's go back first."
After saying that, he pulled Mingyue and ran away.
Ye Chen asked Chen Qiu: "Why are they running?"
Chen Qiu glared at Ye Chen without saying anything. Ye Chen hugged Chen Qiu and said, "Are you shy, my lady?" Then he burst into laughter. How long has it been since he was so happy? In his previous life, he seemed to have never been happy since he married Chen Qiu.
At first I was angry and heartbroken, but later when I found out I fell in love with Chen Qiu I felt self-blame, guilt and heartbroken.
Seeing that Ye Chen couldn't stop laughing, Chen Qiu said: "Contraceptive soup"
Ye Chen immediately stopped laughing, hugged Chen Qiu and said, "Wife, are we still going to have lunch with grandpa and grandma?"
Chen Qiu then took a deep breath and said, "Well, let's eat with them. It will be more lively when there are more people. They should also want someone to sit by their side."
