Chapter 207: The White Lotus Cousin in Ancient Chinese Literature (36)
Su Yu suddenly thought of something: "Zitong, during the time you have been in the mansion, have you heard about Miss Lin and her cousin? Isn't the eldest lady planning to discuss marriage with the Lin family? After so much time, it's time to put it on the table."
Unexpectedly, Zi Tong shook her head and said, "I don't know. It's strange to say that when you were still in the mansion, the eldest lady mentioned this matter, but a few days after you left, the eldest lady never mentioned it again."
"Why?"
"I don't know either." Zi Tong shook her head and suggested, "Why don't you ask the eldest master? He must know best."
"Him?" Su Yu shook her head vigorously, "No, I can't ask him."
It was Zitong's turn to be confused: "Why?"
Su Yu was firm: "I don't want to ask him."
"Don't you want to ask me anything?" Cui Ling came in from outside and just heard this sentence.
They both shut up at the same time.
Zi Tong knelt and saluted: "Young Master."
Cui Ling nodded calmly and said to her, "You go out first."
The other maids in the room also left, which was very tactful.
Soon, Su Yu and Cui Ling were the only ones left here.
Su Yu's eyes flickered, and she turned her face away from him, but her chin was pinched and she turned her head back. A cool feeling came from the wound at the corner of her lip.
Cui Ling had a light green porcelain bottle in her hand at some point, and was applying it to her wound with a cotton swab.
"Does it still hurt?"
Su Yu's cheeks puffed up slightly, and she glared at him bravely, her tone carrying a hint of resentment: "It hurts. Who told you to bite me so hard last night that my skin was broken."
Cui Ling seldom saw Su Yu looking so lively.
In the past, she always looked gentle and sensible, and would just cry quietly when her emotions were at their most extreme. I guess I really annoyed her last night, so I glared at her today.
He moved more gently: "I was wrong, I won't do it again next time."
Without saying a word, his shoulder was bitten even harder.
This medicine is milder than the one Zi Tong took. It feels cool when applied. Not only does it not sting but it is also very comfortable.
Su Yu was curious: "What kind of medicine is this?"
Cui Ling: "Go ask the Third Prince for it. There is a doctor in his house. The medicine he prescribes is painless and effective quickly."
"What did you say to Zitong just now?" Cui Ling did not forget this.
Su Yu kept silent.
Cui Ling didn't force her and said directly: "I'll go ask Zi Tong."
"Don't." Su Yu held him back, hesitated for a moment, and said reluctantly, "That's what I said."
"We are talking about the fact that what you said last night must have been a lie to me. You still have a fiancée. Miss Lin is so good. The eldest lady and my cousin both like her. How could they agree to you marrying me?"
That's what I was worried about.
Cui Ling frowned and clarified: "She and I are not engaged."
"But she and you are a perfect match. You two are the best match."
"A good match?"
Cui Ling thought about these four words and suddenly laughed: "It seems that you have some misunderstandings about my Cui family."
Not everyone can match the Cui family.
Prime Minister Cui was the prime minister, one of the three highest officials in the country. Cui Ling was the emperor's closest minister, holding real power, not to mention the complicated side branches and illegitimate descendants. The influence of Cui Ling in the court was beyond imagination. It was not something that any official could claim to be a match for him.
Su Yu: “…” The evil rich and powerful.
"Anyway, don't worry about this matter. I will take care of it. I will have everything ready in half a month at the latest."
In ancient times, it took a long time to prepare for a wedding. Half a month was just to finalize everything, and completing all the procedures including the three books and six ceremonies would take at least half a year.
Su Yu frowned: "What if I get pregnant?"
They didn't take any measures last night. Who would be responsible if an "accident" happened?
Cui Ling suddenly stopped talking.
Su Yu's heart sank. She tugged at his clothes and burst into tears. "What do you mean? You don't want me to give birth here? It's fine if we have an affair without a matchmaker, but you actually want me to give birth to your child without any name or status? I don't want to. I don't want to marry you..."
"I took medicine." Cui Ling interrupted her last sentence.
Su Yu was stunned: "What?"
Cui Ling's ears felt hot. She lowered her eyes and didn't look at Su Yu's. She said in a low voice, "Don't worry. I took the medicine before last night."
Su Yu was stunned by these words.
The male protagonist said he drank medicine?
System: [Yes, host, you heard it right. ]
There were contraceptive pills in ancient times, most of which were given to women, but there were a few exceptions, such as the one Cui Ling drank, which was for men.
Su Yu was shocked.
[…The protagonist’s thinking is very advanced.]
Su Yu quickly ended the topic, as she really couldn't seem to think of any other reason to reject the male protagonist's proposal.
Stuck here again.
Su Yu discovered that no matter whether the mission was completed or not, she could not escape the fate of being forcibly taken away by the male protagonist.
Oh, God, oh, earth, why did you let her encounter this kind of thing?
The only good news these days is that the eldest prince was deposed, and all the women in the villa were rescued by Cui Ling. Those who had places to go were released and allowed to leave, while those who didn't had jobs found to make a living.
Other than that, nothing good.
Noticing that Su Yu was not in a good mood, Cui Ling thought for a moment and took her out.
It's not good to stay indoors all the time.
The village is very large, with half of it being a farm where all kinds of fruits and vegetables are grown, and the other half being more like a holiday resort. Quiet winding paths lead to the depths of the flowers and trees, and a huge lake that looks like a jade disk, connected by a small pavilion in the middle of the lake. There are also flowers, birds, fish, pavilions, towers, rockery and ponds.
I thought the eldest prince’s villa was good enough, but Cui Ling’s place is even more luxurious.
Looking at it this way, Su Yu felt that her previous life was simply too hard.
"Do you like it here?"
Cui Ling held Su Yu in his arms and sat in the pavilion by the lake.
Su Yu's protest was in vain, and she curled up in his arms feeling aggrieved.
"So what if I like it? Will my cousin give it to me?" she deliberately said in a choking tone.
"What did you call me?"
Cui Ling can't bear to hear the word "cousin" now.
"...Brother Hanzhang." Su Yu was forced to change her words under the pressure.
Cui Ling was satisfied and said, "Why not?"
It took Su Yu two seconds to realize what he was talking about, and she was instantly surprised: "Really? Are you really going to give this place to me?"
"nature."
It’s just a farm. If it can make her happy, I’ll just give it to her.
Young Master Cui now also experiences the joy of spending a fortune on beautiful women.
The servants who were serving watched with their eyes and noses, pretending not to see or hear anything, and sighed in their hearts that the young master really doted on this girl.
I don’t know how the wife will get along with this guy after she comes into the family.
At this time, a servant suddenly came over and reported: "Sir, there is a girl outside, her surname is Lin, and she wants to see you."
Last name Lin?
Su Yu’s first reaction was to be the heroine. She subconsciously wanted to escape and struggled to get up from Cui Ling’s arms.
Cui Ling frowned and pulled her back: "What's wrong?"
Su Yu pursed her lips and said, "Miss Lin is here to see you. It's not good for me to be here."
Cui Ling frowned, not quite understanding Su Yu's train of thought. Putting aside whether the person outside was Lin Jinse, right now, he hadn't agreed to let anyone in. Taking a step back, even if someone came in, what would happen? Why was she in such a hurry to avoid him?
"What's wrong with that?"
Su Yu didn't know either, but she inexplicably had a feeling that she was having an affair.
Cui Ling pulled her back into his arms and said, "Just stay here."
Then he said to the servant, "Let her in."
"yes."
