Chapter 187: The White Lotus Cousin in Ancient Chinese Literature (16)
It was Su Yu's first time riding in Cui Ling's carriage. She sipped her tea uncomfortably and said, "Cousin."
Cui Ling raised his eyelids: "Hmm?"
Su Yu calmed down and raised her eyes: "Cousin, are you still angry now?"
The carriage was wide and stable, and the tea on the table was not spilled at all. At this moment, Su Yu's nervousness and Cui Ling's confusion were clearly reflected.
"I promise that next time I make a purse, I will definitely only give it to my cousin. Can you please stop being angry with me?"
Su Yu boldly moved to Cui Ling's side, her eyes misty: "In my heart, my cousin is the best person to me in the Cui Mansion besides my aunt. He is the only one who does not despise my background, does not look down on me, and treats me like his own sister. If my cousin gets angry with me, I really don't know what to do."
Su Yu's tears started falling, as if it was really as she said, and she didn't know what to do.
"If, if my cousin doesn't forgive me, then I might as well die."
Su Yu's crying was a little louder, but to Cui Ling, it still sounded as weak and suppressed as a cat's cry, making people's hearts tremble along with her crying.
A blue handkerchief was handed over.
Su Yu raised her tearful eyes: "Cousin..."
Cui Ling sighed: "Don't cry, I'm not angry."
Maybe Baishan was right, he really had some special feelings for Su Yu.
At this moment, if it was Cui Yue who was crying, he would just watch her finish crying quietly, then let the maid help her go back, and then decide whether to help her solve the problem or tell her mother depending on the severity of the matter.
But facing Su Yu who was crying, he couldn't help but hand her the handkerchief.
Thinking back on it, it's just a purse, just give it away, it's not worth getting angry about.
Thinking of another thing, Cui Ling had to remind Su Yu: "It's just that the eldest prince is not a good person. You can give him a purse to thank him, but you must not be deceived by him and fall into it."
He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "If he forces you, just send someone to find me. You are Madam Yun's niece, so you are half a member of the Cui family. I will not sit idly by."
Su Yu stopped crying for half a second, then raised her eyes tremblingly, and stuttered: "Cousin...what do you mean by that? Why, why do you say that the eldest prince is not a good person?"
No wonder others admire the male protagonist so much, his character is indeed noble.
Of course Su Yu knew that the eldest prince was not a good person.
Unfortunately, she was destined to let him down and jump into the fire pit.
Through the hazy mist, she carefully observed Cui Ling's expression: "I think that although the eldest prince is arrogant and willful, he still has a sense of propriety and a noble status. He should be considered a good match, right?"
Su Yu's voice became smaller and smaller as Cui Ling frowned.
She was uneasy: "Did I say something wrong?"
"No."
Cui Ling was not surprised that Su Yu had such an impression of the eldest prince. In fact, the eldest prince was ambitious but also self-willed. His talents and virtues could not support his ambition and he was not capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility. These were all evaluations in the court and had nothing to do with the harem.
For Hou Cai, the eldest prince has a noble status and handsome appearance, and that is enough.
Unfortunately, Cui Ling accidentally learned something about the eldest prince.
This was the main reason why he persuaded Su Yu.
After all, Su Yu is a woman, so Cui Ling couldn't say it directly.
"Anyway, remember, don't get too involved with him, otherwise, you'll get hurt."
Literally it will hurt.
The eldest prince had a bad habit in sex. It was rumored that he kept many women in his villa outside the capital just for his pleasure.
Su Yu was at a loss: "Why?"
Cui Ling didn't know how to tell her. It was indeed difficult to talk about this matter with a young, innocent, weak and inexperienced girl.
"Anyway, just remember what I said."
Su Yu nodded in confusion, lowering her eyes to hide the tears and guilt in her eyes: "I understand."
The carriage swayed to a stop, and Su Yu said goodbye to Cui Ling at the door. Zi Tong followed beside them, holding the things she had bought.
"Luckily we met the eldest master, otherwise we would have to wait here for the people in the mansion to come and fix the carriage, and it would take a long time to go back and forth." Zi Tong was thankful, "The eldest master is really nice."
Su Yu nodded: "Yes, my cousin is really nice."
"Unfortunately, I have to let my cousin down." She whispered to herself.
Zi Tong did not hear these words, but was still sighing at Cui Ling's kindness and noble character.
…
Not long after returning, Cui Ling was called over by the eldest lady.
"Mother."
The eldest lady smiled and asked him to come over and sit down. She mentioned in a smiling manner the matter of going to the Huguo Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, and told Cui Ling to make time to accompany her that day.
Seeing Cui Ling agreed without any change in his expression, she smiled a little deeper.
Suddenly, the eldest lady changed the subject: "I heard that you came back with Su Yanyun's niece?"
Cui Ling looked calm and said, "Yes, her carriage broke down, so I gave her a ride."
The eldest lady suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
But she didn't completely believe it, so she tried to test him subtly: "What do you think of that girl?"
Cui Ling raised her eyes and said, "Mother, just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush."
The eldest lady choked and thought that it was not good for a child to be too smart.
After a long while, she sighed, "Mother wants to ask you if you like that girl."
Su Yu was so beautiful that even she couldn't help but be dazed when she saw her, let alone her hot-blooded son. The eldest lady became worried when she thought that her son didn't even have a maidservant.
Although the daughter-in-law she had her eyes on was a girl from the Lin family, she would not stop her son if he really liked her.
"Tell me the truth, do you like her?" The eldest lady said kindly, "I am not the evil person who likes to break up a couple. The grudges of the elders have nothing to do with the younger generation. If you really like her, I will take her as your concubine when there is an opportunity in the future. How about that?"
Cui Ling frowned fiercely and said in a deep voice: "Mother."
The eldest lady was puzzled.
Cui Ling deliberately ignored the trembling in his heart and said calmly, "Miss Su and I are innocent. I hope mother will not say such things again in the future."
The eldest lady was extremely surprised. Did she misunderstand?
But thinking back to the news brought by the servants, the eldest lady was puzzled. If she didn't like her, why did she treat her so well, even restricting Yue'er for this and accepting the girl's purse?
The eldest lady could see clearly that her son, who never wore a purse, almost kept it with him every day these days. She didn't believe that he had no thoughts.
"If mother has nothing else to say, I have some official business to discuss with father, so I'll take my leave now."
Cui Ling didn't want to discuss this topic any further and said goodbye directly.
The eldest lady had no choice but to wave her hand and let him go.
"By the way, don't forget to set aside one day to accompany me to the Huguo Temple to burn incense." The eldest lady reminded.
Looking at Cui Ling's back, the eldest lady sighed and said, "When a child grows up, he is no longer under the control of his mother. The child has grown up and has his own ideas."
After leaving, Cui Ling was not as calm and determined as the eldest lady had thought.
He slowly stopped and touched his chest. Just now, he followed his mother's thoughts and felt a little despicable.
How does he feel about Su Yu?
What does it feel like to like someone?
This overly broad and boundless emotion has never had an accurate definition from ancient times to the present.
This means that Cui Ling could not learn from books or teachers, and could only reject his mother's proposal based on his intuition, and felt bad after rejecting it based on his intuition.
