Su Qing shook her head, "I said, there is no love between us."
"Not love? Then why do you care about her? Apart from Liu Liu, I don't care about other women."
Su Qing asked, "Do you care about the princess? If the princess is sad, will you be happy?"
"Of course I'm not happy. The princess and I have a life-and-death relationship."
They fell into the sea together that day and became friends for life and death.
"Then are you willing to marry the princess?" Su Qing asked.
Xiao Tuo opened his mouth and eyes wide, "Are you crazy? If the prince hears me, I will be beaten to death."
Su Qing explained: "I'm just telling you that there are many kinds of feelings between people. What you and Liu Liu have is love, and what Rouyao and I have is friendship. In fact, friendship is much stronger than love. Do you believe it?"
He looked at Xiao Tuo with his signature bewilderment and knew that he didn't understand.
"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you. I don't want to disappoint Rouyao. I know that if I marry Rouyao, she will treat me very well... But, it's different. After all, there is something missing. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Xiao Tuo nodded.
Su Qing looked at him. Did he understand? He didn't believe it.
Xiao Tuo sat down and said, "I really understand. You all think Liu Liu is not good, right? Maybe I should marry a lady who is more virtuous than Liu Liu. Those ladies may not even talk back to me and regard me as their god. But I find that kind of life boring. They are not Liu Liu."
This time, it was Su Qing's turn to open his mouth in amazement.
Has Xiao Tuo finally figured it out
Xiao Tuo added to himself, "There is only one Liu Liu in the world..."
Su Qing was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. Xiao Tuo, that big fool, had finally grown up.
"In the world, only the Chen family has such elite weapons. If I don't marry Liu Liu, I will never have those weapons..."
"Go to hell!"
Su Qing stood up and beat Xiao Tuo up.
When Murong Jie returned, the sun was already setting.
Before Murong Jie returned to Hexu Pavilion, Xiaosun had already walked in angrily.
"What's wrong? Who made our Aunt Xiaosun angry?" Rouyao looked at Xiaosun's puffy round face jokingly.
Xiao Sun said bitterly: "County Lady, please don't make fun of me. I am angry, really angry."
"What's wrong?" Zi'an couldn't help but ask when he saw that the good-tempered Xiaosun's face turned red with anger.
"The prince is back." Xiaosun said.
"Why are you angry about the prince's return?" Zi'an asked curiously.
Xiaosun wanted to hold back, but in the end she couldn't help it. "Princess, you don't know, the prince just came in, and wanted to rush to our Hexu Pavilion, but unexpectedly, the lady Wanhui from Lanluo Pavilion suddenly appeared, and even sprained her ankle in front of the prince, and was crying in pain."
"Then what was your prince's reaction?" Liu Liu immediately became interested. She loved listening to such things the most.
"Of course, the prince didn't even look at her, but she actually limped after the prince and talked to him. She said that her father deserved it and that if it weren't for the prince, her father would have been implicated and executed sooner or later along with his entire family if he had continued to embezzle. She said that the prince saved her by ordering the closure and that he was her savior."
Everyone was surprised to hear this. How could there be such a "righteous" daughter
Liu Liu asked excitedly, "What's next?"
"Then the prince really paid attention to her, asking her whose daughter she was and why she was here. When I came back, she had taken the prince to Lan Ruo Pavilion." Xiao Sun said angrily.
"He went?" Everyone was stunned. This was not like Lao Qi's style.
"Isn't it? He's gone!" Xiaosun said with a sad face.
Liu Liu murmured, "Could it be that this daughter of a criminal is very beautiful?"
Xiaosun said angrily: "No matter how beautiful she is, she is still a vixen."
"That's very beautiful," Liu Liu looked at Zi'an, "You have to be careful, you'd better send her away quickly."
Zi'an said with a smile, "There are beautiful women all over the capital. If he is really attracted to beautiful women, if I drive one away, another will come. Then I don't have to do anything else in the future. I can just focus on driving away the vixen."
"You'd better not be too calm." Hu Huanxi said.
Zi'an said, "I'm not calm, but there are temptations everywhere in the capital. How can I avoid them? If his heart is with me, he won't be moved. If his heart is not with me, there's no point in me being anxious."
Zi'an was stunned when he said this. When did she start to talk about her feelings
After marrying Lao Qi, they naturally developed feelings for each other, and she gradually felt that this was love. However, in fact, there had never been that kind of passionate feeling between them.
She even felt that if Lao Qi fell in love with another woman, she would be sad, but not heartbroken.
However, an ordinary woman appearing now would hardly pose any threat. Although she said she was calm, she couldn't help but think about what would happen if such a woman really appeared in the future
Can she really be so calm
Hu Huanxi patted her shoulder and said, "Since your prince is back, I will leave first and not interfere with your love for each other."
When Hu Huanxi left, everyone also said they wanted to leave. After all, they had been apart for so long and had so many things to do.
"No, stay for dinner." Zi'an tried to persuade him to stay.
"Let's do it tomorrow. I'll leave tonight for you and your wife." Hu Huanxi said.
Liu Liu was not willing to leave. She had told Xiao Tuo that she wanted to come over for dinner. However, Hu Huanxi was right. It was a long-lost reunion.
She and Xiao Tuo had just reunited after a long separation, but Xiao Tuo took her around the streets, back to her parents' home, and to the palace, without them ever having a good conversation.
When Murong Jie entered Hexu Pavilion, Hu Huanxi and others had just left.
"There are so many cups. Were there a lot of people here?" Murong Jie asked when he walked in and saw several cups on the table.
"Well, I'm glad they just left." Zi'an stood up and took off his outer clothes very smoothly. This was something his virtuous wife was used to doing, and sometimes she would do it unconsciously.
"Aren't you going to invite them to dinner?" Murong Jie asked.
Xiaosun cleared the cups and replied, "Your Highness, Shopkeeper Hu said that he wanted to leave you and your wife alone."
She said the word "alone" with great force.
Murong Jie smiled, "Hu Huanxi has always been very tactful."
Zi'an hung up his clothes and asked nonchalantly, "You just came back?"
"Yes, I just came in." Murong Jie sat down with a smile on his handsome face, "Do you miss me?"
"Hmm!" Zi'an looked at him and saw that he seemed to be in a good mood. "Are you happy about something?"
"The emperor has given you many treasures, I guarantee you will like them." Murong Jie stretched out his hand and scratched her cheek, dragged her to his side, and looked at her face. "What's wrong? Who made you unhappy? It must be Chen Liuliu."
Xiaosun glanced at Zi'an, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she didn't dare to say anything either, so she packed up her things and left.
