"Why is the Chu family unwilling to marry their daughter to Prince Ying? What kind of person is Prince Ying? Could it be an old man of seven or eighty?" Chu Qing asked with raised eyebrows.
"No, no!" Shan Cha immediately shook his head, then glanced at her carefully, wondering if he should tell the truth or not.
"I have to listen to the truth, otherwise you will know the consequences." Chu Qingyan said with a smile that was not a smile.
Shan Cha immediately clinged to the wall and whispered, "Prince Ying just turned 20 this year. It is rumored that he was disfigured by the fire when he was young, and his face has become hideous, and his methods are cruel and cold-blooded. No woman in Kyoto dares to approach him. , I heard that as long as someone who has passed his true face will have nightmares in the middle of the night!"
Shan Cha watched Miss Jiu's face suddenly cloudy, and immediately shrank his neck, for fear that the sharp wood would accidentally hurt himself.
Chu Qingyan was stunned, no wonder that even if the family is a dignified prince, the Chu family is so snobbish that they would rather push this opportunity to get married than seize it by themselves. This is why the parents of any family are willing to do so. Push your own daughter into a fire pit
But the most important thing for Chu Qingyan at this time is that in order to save their daughter, the Chu family dragged her into the fire pit. This is simply unbearable!
After laughing in anger, Chu Qingyan became more calm.
"What else?" She didn't believe that was all there was to it.
"Also, His Majesty had made a marriage proposal for Prince Ying before, but every time before the wedding, the bride died violently." Shan Cha lowered her head even lower, not daring to look at her at all.
Chu Qingyan clenched her fingers and sneered, no wonder that the British prince was nearly twenty but still had not married. It turned out to be the reason, because ancient men generally started to marry when they were fifteen or sixteen.
Ugly, evil, but also a wife.
What a Chu family! He was so mad that he dragged a ten-year-old child to his death!
She doesn't believe the statement of Ke's wife, she can only say that it is not easy to be around the British prince, but this is not what she wants to think about.
"Who are the two people in Fangcai Pavilion?" Chu Qingyan continued to ask while playing with the wood in his hand.
Shan Cha replied weakly, "It's Miss Seven and Miss Eight."
Seeing Miss Jiu frowning at her, Shan Cha quickly explained the situation of the young lady of the Chu family.
The second master of the Chu family, Chu Zhiming, has two sons, Chu Dechang and Chu Cun'an, who are ranked first and second respectively in the grandson generation of the Chu family. The third master, Chu Zhihua, has a son and two daughters. The daughter's name is Chu Yunyu, the younger daughter's name is Chu Yingyu, ranking third, seventh and eighth respectively, while the fourth master Chu Zhizhi has a son and a daughter, the eldest daughter's name is Chu Lanyu, and the younger son's name is Chu Songyi, ranking respectively. Fourth and fifth, so the seventh and eighth misses mentioned by Shan Cha are Chu Yunyu and Chu Yingyu.
Chu Qingyan roughly went through these cousins and sisters in her mind, and she had a clue in her heart. It was obvious that the Chu family had three daughters, all of whom were older than her, but she was reluctant to marry and be spoiled, so she took her as a child. Ping back, really don't take other people's daughters as people, rubbing the stick with his fingertips, Chu Qingyan's face is full of anger.
After talking about the general situation of the Chu family, Shan Cha has been carefully paying attention to her expression. Seeing her frowning, she pursed her lips in fear. Miss Jiu is obviously younger than her, so why does she have an overwhelming force on her body? Pressure, Shan Cha muttered in his heart.
But in the blink of an eye, Miss Jiu's face was clear and cloudless again, and the faint smile on her face was restored. Shan Cha suddenly felt the gloomy behind, as if there were gusts of cold wind blowing.
"Okay, the garden is almost done, come with me to see my parents!" Chu Qingyan put away the sharp wooden stick as if nothing had happened, and walked out of the corner first.
Shan Cha stared at Miss Jiu who was slowly pacing behind her back, wondering why Miss Jiu was so calm when she heard that she was going to marry Prince Ying? But at least this is better than crying and making trouble for the old lady.
Although Shan Cha felt that Miss Jiu was strange like this, she couldn't say why she came, and in the end she followed up obediently.
Chu Qingyan's memory has always been good, so she quickly found her mother's wing, but Shan Cha followed behind panting.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Chu Qingyan instructed Shan Cha to stand guard outside, and went straight into the room.
Chu's father and Chu's mother were very happy when they saw her, and came up to greet her, but Chu Qingyan looked around, then pulled her father and mother to sit down on the chair, frowning and thinking about how to tell her this to her mother. thing.
Mother Chu was startled by her daughter's solemn face, and immediately asked, "Caicai, what's the matter?"
There was a trace of grief and anger on Chu Qingyan's face, and then she lowered her voice, "Mother, do you know the real intention of the Chu family to bring us back?"
"Because they want to play with us." Father Chu immediately raised his hand to answer.
Chu Qingyan pulled his father's hand down angrily and hilariously, facing his mother, whose expression became solemn, and said angrily, "Mother, the reason why the Chu family wants us to come back is not because they miss us, It was an imperial decree to marry the daughter of the Chu family to the notorious Prince Ying, and the Chu family did not want to let their daughter suffer, so they thought of me."
"What!" Mother Chu stood up instantly in shock, her lips trembling and said, "You are only ten years old, how can they do it!"
Father Chu was stunned when he heard it, and said, "Cai Cai, what is notoriety?"
"It means very bad, very bad!" Chu Qingyan sighed and replied.
"That won't do! Daniang, Caicai will not marry a bad person!" Father Chu clenched his fists and said indignantly.
"Of course not! How can our Caicai be abused like this! Although we had a bad time in Maocun, at least we are happy that we will not be used as scapegoats. I really regret agreeing to let them go back to Kyoto! "
Mother Chu was already trembling with anger at this time, Chu Qingyan immediately took her hand and comforted, "Mother, don't blame yourself, I think even if we don't agree, they will have a way to tie them to Kyoto, so This is the end of the matter, we should find a way to solve this first!"
Mother Chu, who had never encountered such a big event, was already flustered and had no idea at all. Tears rolled in her eyes, and her voice choked, "But we are already in the Chu family, what can we do?"
"Mother, although the imperial decree has been issued, isn't there still no movement? We can sneak away and don't be discovered by the Chu family!" This was the first thing that came to her mind when she heard Shan Cha say marriage was bestowed. An idea that came up.
"Escape?" Mother Chu's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, escape! As long as the Chu family can't find me, they will choose another daughter to marry off, otherwise it will be a rebellion. I don't think they will be clear about the priorities!" Chu Qingyan said firmly.
"Okay, then Caicai, you find an opportunity to escape, don't worry about me and your father, as long as you escape, your mother will be at ease!" Mother Chu said immediately.
Chu Qingyan shook her head, "No, mother, let's go together and stay together. If only I escaped, the Chu family would definitely not let you and Daddy go."
Mother Chu couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes and choked up, "Alright, let's go together."
Although Father Chu didn't quite understand what the mother and daughter were talking about, he also cried, "We want to be together, not separate."
"Mother, leave the matter of escaping the Chu family to the daughter, and the daughter will arrange it!"
Chu Qingyan looked at the weak mother and the ignorant father, and suddenly there was a strong belief in her heart, she must protect her father and mother, and no longer let them suffer a little or suffer a little grievance!
