"He can't come with me." Yun Fenghuang didn't hesitate at all, saying exactly the same words as three years ago, "His sister Hongxing's affair has already brought huge trouble to the family. If he also comes with me, If they elope and two young ladies from one family do not follow the rules of women, then how can there be a place for his Xie daughter in the North?"
"Not only the Xie family, he and his sister were raised by the same mother, but also his maternal family, the Jiang family, will be disgraced and criticized... If his maternal family had not shut up for him this time, the Xie family would not have given him the chance to leave the imperial capital. !”
"Because he is not the legitimate daughter and has been engaged to me since childhood, he has a superior status in the family and has always been favored and valued by his father and brothers. The less advanced cousins are not allowed to hear about family affairs. He But he has been taken by his father to listen to him since he was seven or eight years old... The family has put all their efforts into raising him, but he has not repaid even half of it. How can he make the family's misfortune worse because of his own selfishness? "
"Moreover, as the eldest son, I have been supported and taught by the same clan. Shouldn't I just walk away and leave my parents and blood relatives in the clan? My fate with him has been exhausted. I can't do anything better than to force myself to do so. Never see you again!"
Qi Jiulu listened motionless, and after a long while he said softly: "Actually, he probably didn't answer that, but after all, I have a glimmer of hope, so I am willing to lie to him now."
Yun Fenghuang sighed and said: "That person of mine... he used to lie to me a lot. At that time, I always believed him. Now he doesn't want to keep me in the dark anymore. To tell the truth, I I don’t want to believe it anymore. You told me not to come, why didn’t you listen?”
"Could it be that because I was by his side before, he didn't want to think too much about anything I said or did." Qi Jiulu said softly, "Just beg me to be happy." But now that he and I are having a hard time meeting each other, I just want to hear some nice words. "
"Of course he can say sweet words. Can you please tell me if you can hurt me?" Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said, "The reason why he refused to go with me back then was because the two families were considering whether Bu Nao would be crowned. Tang Huang Quan Ci... In the final analysis, he can't believe me. He came to the imperial capital according to his mother's arrangement. Although he stayed at his aunt's house, he came out of the palace with a large dowry. Even if the person he married was not as good as me, he was married to a matchmaker. With earthly security.”
But if he just let everything go and left with Qi Jiulu, Qi Jiulu would not have grown up even though the family had carefully cultivated him. He himself needs the protection of his family, let alone protect her
She didn't believe in Qi Jiulu's ability, or she couldn't believe that Qi Jiulu had the ability to take her away and place her well at that time. And I don’t believe that Qi Jiulu will never regret it after giving up so much for her.
Yun Fenghuang said calmly, "He actually didn't mean well when he said that. Because he knew that the more he blamed his family for not leaving me, the more I would hate the Xie family and the Qi family, and even hate the Qi family more. After all, after the Qi family proposed to break off the engagement, the family decided to send their sisters to the family temple, and to marry far away, and he only got the promise to be sent to the imperial capital after his parents fought for it... Wait for me like this After taking charge of the family, I will definitely not let go of those people who caused him to leave his hometown!"
Not only that, "It's also hard for me to forget him. Whoever I marry in the future will be compared to him. He was my childhood sweetheart, but he was forced to separate from me when we were most emotionally harmonious and looking forward to our future together." , I will definitely remember how good he is, and no one will be better than him in my mind from now on! No matter how gentle, virtuous, and understanding my future wife is, in my opinion she will always be unhappy, so that one will take the place of what should have been. Otherwise, the person in his position will not be too happy during the confinement period, so even if he never sees me again, he will feel a lot more comfortable."
She turned her head slightly and looked at the silent man not far away, "I think he is actually not as good as I thought. Even though we were young and in love at the time, I couldn't see clearly, and he wouldn't either." Tell me the truth.”
"... So what?" Qi Jiulu said softly with a hoarse voice, "We grew up together, and I have many little thoughts. Do you think he really doesn't know about it? I also said that as the eldest son, he is supported and taught by the clan. When you grow up, no matter how close you are to me, how can you mistake me for knowing nothing about my temperament? I don’t like Chao Jingyou, so not only do I not allow him to shut up with Chao Jingyou, I even ask him to exchange polite greetings with the Chao family’s children. Losing my temper... At that time, some people in the clan were talking privately, saying that I was domineering and jealous, so I could not be a tomb wife. But he didn't care. He was the one who married me. In his eyes, Mr. Chao and I were completely different. There's no comparison. If I don't like them, then I don't like them. He himself can't bear to wrong me, so why should those people beg me to deny that he has wronged himself?!"
He knew that Yun Fenghuang was not a virtuous and virtuous woman recognized by the world, and that her good reputation was probably spread and managed by the family.
But does he like her
"Liu Ren was very worried for a while, thinking that he was naturally fearful of foreign affairs, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to become a qualified head of the family in the future. "Qi Jiulu smiled self-deprecatingly, "But that view is not bad, because he is not afraid of foreigners, so he is willing to follow me. "
He is not afraid of the outside world, but he is afraid of clouds, wind and waves.
Just ask Yun Fenghuang, he can do anything, be willful or overbearing, selfish or hypocritical... in his opinion, he can't be cruel.
In addition, all the virtuous, virtuous, talented and beautiful people recognized by the world are not boring to him.
The only vivid color in that life was Yun Fenghuang.
Qi Jiulu didn't want to hear any contradictory voices.
"I think it's because of that that he doesn't want to continue to lie to me." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "I don't owe him anything in the first place, so I don't have to do so much for him... The imperial capital of Ruming is just a whirlpool. , he is already in it, why drag me into the east water? Let me go back to the north. The descendants of the Qi family are few, and Qi Jiuzhang and Ziren are not as good as me. If you rush to the battle in Ming Dynasty, what can you do? Will my family have a good future? Please look at me, can I get them to agree to come over? I have put a lot of thought into it. But how much cocoa will we have in the future?"
Seeing what Qi Jiulu was begging to say, she shook her head slightly and signaled him to listen to her and go east, "There is no precedent for releasing concubines in the country. Besides, since he entered the palace, he has intentionally or unintentionally blocked the way of many people and caused trouble for many people. , those contradictions, whether obvious or not, will inevitably backfire in the future. Even if the regent is successful, I also know that the prince’s biological mother died young, and the power of the maternal family is not as powerful as that of the Qingping Marquis Mansion, so that position is far away from him. Even if he is lucky enough to inherit the throne a month later... How many years will it take? Things are unpredictable. Maybe I and he will be old by then and no longer have the mentality of a teenager."
"I'll go back to the north."
She persuaded him again, "Since he entered the palace, he has never thought about how Mingyue will live. My presence here not only distracts him, but also makes him feel guilty. If he is wrong or I am wrong, it is not a good thing."
"... Mr. Qi needs him, what about me? I don't want to need him anymore?" Qi Jiulu looked at her and said calmly, "No, I have decided not to ask for anything?"
Yun Fenghuang frowned slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "Ever since he was a child, he has listened to me in everything. Even when Peacock Po was in his heart with thousands of arrows, he still did what I wanted, let him On the way to the Imperial Capital... I said he didn't owe me anything, but what about me? Don't I think I owe him? Ruming he doesn't want to listen to me anymore... He even often thinks that if I was wrong and didn't obey my words, If he had persisted a little more back then, if he had taken me away by force... maybe I would not have entered the palace at all! Maybe it was me who carried the sedan chair into his Qi family's house on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year!"
"..." Yun Fenghuang was speechless.
Qi Jiulu continued: "And I thought Ruming was wronging him by telling him those so-called truths and driving him back to the north, okay? Why don't I think about our parents who were hysterical and didn't allow us to be together? Why don't I think about it? Do you think it is good for them? A is like honey and B is like arsenic and frost. If the choice they think is good is not good, it does not mean that the choice I think is good is not good if it is wrong for him. Who is he now? He doesn’t want to listen to any suggestions, he just wants to act on his own ideas.”
