Seeing that he answered straightforwardly without even the slightest hesitation, Shuya's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant.
She could clearly feel that her heart that beat because of liking him a long time ago stopped beating slowly, sinking into the abyss little by little.
She bit her lips to death, and tears welled up in her eyes, almost as long as she blinked lightly, tears would flow like a fountain.
Xu Yunchu looked at Shuya, for many years, he had been annoyed by her, wishing she would never bother him, never hang out in front of him. But looking at her like this now, I still can't bear it. After all, there is nothing wrong with liking someone.
He sighed softly, and said gently, "Shuya, I am two years older than you, and I have treated you as my younger sister since I was a child. I really can't like you."
Shuya opened her eyes wide, trying not to let her tears fall, but after all, she didn't have the strength to hold back, and after a while, her eyes closed with soreness, and tears flowed down her cheeks, clustered like broken beads. cluster and fall.
Xu Yunchu stood where he was, watching her burst into tears silently, he didn't know what to say for a while.
After a while, Shuya raised her hand abruptly, wiped her eyes with her sleeve, wiped away the tears, and said to Xu Yunchu, "I came here today just to get you. You don't like me, I I knew it a long time ago, but I used to be blind and blind and couldn't understand it. Today I finally understand it."
Xu Yunchu looked at her and said, "Whether you like it or not, you can't force it, as long as you understand it."
Shuya raised her neck and asked softly, "You like Su Fengnuan, don't you?"
Xu Yunchu nodded, "Yes."
Shuya looked at him, "But Su Fengnuan doesn't like you, she likes Ye Chang."
Xu Yunchu nodded, "That's right, she likes Ye Shizi more than life."
Shuya pursed her lips and said, "So, you are the same as me. Even in my eyes, you are so good that all men in the world are inferior, and Ye Chang is also inferior. But in Su Fengnuan's eyes, only Ye Chang can be seen, and only Ye Chang can be seen. I like Ye Chang, in her heart, Ye Chang is unmatched. You can't ask for her."
Xu Yunchu let out a "hmm".
Shuya smiled immediately, wiped away the last tear from the corner of her eyes, and said to him, "Cousin, since you have regarded me as your younger sister since you were young, if I don't bother you in front of you and pester you in the future, you will still regard me as your younger sister, right?" ?”
Xu Yunchu nodded, "Naturally."
Shuya took a deep breath and said, "I've decided, you don't like me, and from today on, I won't like you either. I swear."
Xu Yunchu looked at her, because she had been tossing herself non-stop for several months, and she was too thin. Because of her thinness, her eyes became bigger, and the firm expression in her eyes could be seen clearly. It seemed that she had really made great determination.
She came to ask him like this today, open up with him, openly and aboveboard, which surprised him a little, but he was relieved.
This is the best for her.
He smiled slightly, which was different from the usual estranged smile. The smile was slightly warm, and he said to her, "Shuya is a very beautiful woman. If it weren't for me, you would be as dignified, gentle and elegant as my aunt and aunt." , and your reputation will not be badly spread. Now that you can see it, I am also very happy. With your honorable status, you will definitely find a good relationship."
Shuya raised her chin proudly when she heard the words, and said to Xu Yunchu, "I don't want to be like the emperor's grandmother, nor do I want to be like the empress mother, dignified, gentle and elegant, so what? They can be said to be the most noble women in the world, but It's uncomfortable to live. The emperor's grandmother has the reputation of being a powerful old witch, and the queen mother has the reputation of being jealous and incompetent. Even if no one dares to say it in front of them, how can they keep everyone behind?"
Xu Yunchu laughed when he heard the words, "You are right."
Shuya looked at him and said, "Compared to them, I like your bad reputation, so what is it? I don't care about it myself, and my cousin doesn't have to care about it in the future." After finishing speaking, she said, "I'm going back to the palace. , Cousin, remember what you just promised, I hope you will treat me as a younger sister for the rest of your life, and treat me better. You are a gentleman, so don't do things that break your promise and make you fat."
Xu Yunchu smiled and nodded, "No."
Shuya stopped talking, turned around and got into the carriage, calling out to Liu Yan who didn't know where to hide, "Liu Yan, I'm back to the palace."
Liu Yan hid in the far corner of the leeward wall, and when she heard Shuya calling him, she ran over immediately, and seeing Xu Yunchu smiling, he also left with a smile.
The carriage went to the palace.
Standing at the door, Xu Yunchu felt a little emotional for a moment, feeling that Shuya had grown up, looked away, and became sensible. But her younger sister, who is the same age as Shuya, is still obsessed with it.
Shuya and Liu Yan, one riding a horse and the other riding a car, returned to the palace.
After getting off the car at the gate of the palace, Shuya waved her hands away from the sedan chair, and walked into the palace gate by herself. After walking for a while, she asked Liu Yan, "Did you hear what I said to my cousin?"
Liu Yan immediately shook his head, "I didn't hear that."
Shuya looked at him, "Why did you answer so quickly? Did you really not hear it, or did you pretend you didn't hear it?"
Liu Yan said helplessly, "I hid far away, and I didn't have good ears, so I really didn't hear it."
Shuya said, "I told my cousin that from now on, I don't like him anymore." After she finished speaking, she said, "Thank you for what you said to me today, I understand now, liking really cannot be forced .”
Liu Yan suddenly said in surprise, "Because of what I said? You..." She looked at Shuya, "Didn't you say that I can't persuade people?"
Shuya nodded, "You really don't know how to persuade people. Not only can't you persuade me, but it will only make me feel more uncomfortable." After saying that, she said, "But I thought that my cousin likes Su Fengnuan, but Su Fengnuan doesn't like her. I suddenly understood, and I'm not going to be obsessed with it anymore."
Hearing this, Liu Yan opened his eyes wide and looked at Shuya, seeing her relaxed face, he secretly sighed. Thinking about the two things he saw today, one was Xu Lingyi pestering Brother Ye, the other was Shuya talking with Xu Yunchu, the former's eyes that were so angry that he wanted to ruin everything made his hair stand on end, the latter now has With a smile, the whole person is as relaxed as a hundred flowers blooming. He feels that women are really elusive. One thought becomes a demon, one thought becomes benevolence.
"Why don't you speak?" Shuya looked at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan quickly stopped his thoughts, coughed, and said, "It's good for the princess to figure it out. In fact, Uncle Xiaoguo is not that good. There are many good men in the world."
Shuya immediately stared and said, "My cousin is naturally the best man in the world."
Liu Yan was stunned.
Shuya said again, "It's just that he doesn't like me."
Liu Yan was speechless.
Shuya also stopped talking, and walked towards Ci'an Palace, Liu Yan followed her, secretly looked at her, and saw that she was not at all unhappy or frustrated.
When they came to Ci'an Palace, the Empress Dowager was waiting for the two of them to have dinner. Seeing that they came back late, she didn't get angry and asked kindly, "How are the plum blossoms in Xuemeiling?"
Shuya smiled and sat beside the queen mother, and said, "Grandmother, the plum blossoms in Xuemeiling are in full bloom. The mountains and plains are in full swing. Grandmother should go out of the palace to see it tomorrow."
The queen mother laughed, "Ai's old arms and legs, how can I walk?" After finishing speaking, she looked at her, "Shuya, what happened today? You seem to be in a good mood?"
Shuya said "hmm" and said with a smile, "Grandmother, I have figured it out. Aren't you and my queen mother going to choose a son-in-law for me? I agree."
The queen mother was stunned. She and the queen chose Shuya's son-in-law. She didn't agree. She committed suicide and tossed about for several months. Now she went out for a trip and agreed? She couldn't help wondering, looked at her, saw that she didn't seem to be lying, and then looked at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan didn't know how to reply, so he simply kept silent.
The Empress Dowager lived in the palace all her life and became mature. Knowing that something must have happened to Shuya when she went out, she looked at her and asked, "Why did you suddenly figure it out? Don't you disagree with life and death?"
Seeing that the Empress Dowager obviously didn't believe her, Shuya said affirmatively, "I figured it out, and it's actually very simple. It only took a moment to figure it out. I used to be confused and delusional about my cousin, but now I figure it out." , I finished admiring the plum blossoms, went to the Guozhang’s mansion, and talked with my cousin. From now on, he will be my cousin, and I will be his cousin, nothing else. You and your mother, father, and grandfather don’t have to worry about it anymore. I'm having a headache."
The Queen Mother said strangely, "This is amazing. How did the Ai family persuade you in the past, and you were so stubborn, how come you are enlightened now?"
Shuya said bluntly, "My cousin likes Su Fengnuan, but Su Fengnuan doesn't like him. You see, he is better than any man in my heart, but in Su Fengnuan's eyes, I only think Ye Chang is the best .I like it and can't force it. He is the same as me. I just looked away."
Seeing her sincerity, the Queen Mother also understood that Shuya was not overly thoughtful, so she said so, which means she really looked away. She also became happy, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "It's good that you can see it. Although Yunchu is good, but if he doesn't like you, it's not a good match. It's not a good thing for you or him. Aijia I will definitely choose a consort who suits you well.”
Shuya took the opportunity to hug the Empress Dowager's arm, and begged, "Grandmother, can you let me choose the one who likes me, and I like the one. Since cousin can't force it, it's better not to force it."
The Queen Mother originally wanted to mention Su Qing to her, but when she saw what she said, she suddenly thought that when she mentioned Su Qing to the Emperor, the Emperor was obviously not happy, so she gave up and simply agreed to her and said, "Okay, you can choose your own son-in-law. If you force it, don't force it. The Ai family also wants to see which family's kid is going to be the grandson-in-law of the Ai family."
