"I... I asked Brother Cheng..." Pei Yu knew that her brother was extremely resistant to the fact that Cheng Bai liked him, so when she saw that Pei Chi's face looked strange, her own aura suddenly disappeared.
Pei Chi sneered and said, "He really has the nerve to say it."
Pei Yu frowned tightly and couldn't help but say, "It's not illegal to like someone!"
"Do you still think he is normal?"
"What do you mean, brother, am I not normal? I can't control you and Brother Cheng, and you can't control me either!" Pei Yu stood on the stone chair, clenching her fists tightly, showing no sign of cowardice at all.
However, Pei Chi stared at her and said coldly: "If you dare to imitate others, I won't care about you."
Pei Yu stared at him and looked at him lifelessly for a moment. Finally, she withdrew her gaze, jumped down, turned around and left.
"stop!"
Pei Yu didn't listen to him and walked away neatly.
During the dinner at night, Pei Chi was not there. Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei were sitting at the dinner table, both with serious faces.
Not long after the meal, Mr. Pei put down his bowl and chopsticks and said in a deep voice: "Yu'er, dad has something to ask you."
At this moment, Pei Yu didn't care at all what her parents thought, so she didn't panic at all when she heard Pei Lao's words. She just responded casually while eating.
"Tell dad, have you been secretly looking for King Cheng in the past few days?"
Pei Yu didn't even hesitate and replied: "Yes."
Mr. Pei slammed the dining table, and his breathing became heavy. Mrs. Pei was afraid that he would be too angry, so she quickly held his hand, smoothed his chest, and whispered: "Don't be so angry, slowly." Say, Yu'er will be obedient."
Pei Yu ate expressionlessly for a while. When he heard his mother's words, he paused slightly, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and raised his head to face his father and mother.
"Have you forgotten what you promised your parents before, Yu'er?" Mr. Pei was extremely excited. His old eyes were filled with anger, and he looked at Pei Yu and said solemnly.
"I haven't forgotten it, but I regret it." Pei Yu paused for a moment, with a slight sarcastic smile on his lips, "Dad, you never told me the reason why King Cheng came to visit you."
"He just deceived a little girl like you! Do you think he will really make you his concubine? As a king, he is deeply respected by the emperor. For a person like him, it is impossible for him to marry someone who is of no use to him. The person you want to be his princess is because you are not deeply involved in the world and take everything too simply!" Pei Lao said.
"I've only been with him for a short time, and you're forcing Wang Cheng to marry me? Isn't this a forced marriage? Dad, you never gave us a chance!"
"Shut up! Dad has experienced more things than you. He, Gu Chengxuan, has been able to hang out in the officialdom for so many years and rise step by step. It's because you don't understand what kind of person he is! Do you think dad can trust you? To a man with deep scheming intentions?"
Pei Yu stared at Mr. Pei and did not say anything immediately. After a long while, she gently moved her trembling lips and said aloud: "Your Majesty, he... liked me... He originally liked Yu. Damn...but now..."
"You have admitted it yourself. He is no longer interested in you, Yu'er. His feelings for you can't withstand the slightest twists and turns. Why don't you believe what dad says?"
