The hand holding the lantern was tightened, and Chu Yu's heart gradually cooled down. He raised his hand to gather the long hair on the side of his face behind his ear, revealing his slightly pale face under the night.
"Qingci." Qin Zheng's heart tightened, and he stared at Chu Yu's slightly raised thin lips. Those lips are so beautiful, even if they are thin and angular, they are ruthless and touching.
Chu Yu didn't do what he wanted, so he still opened his mouth, his tone as cold as ice: "Is it because the Jiang family's way of hospitality is too unique or the folk customs in the south of the Yangtze River are too open-minded, and when the servants can meet the distinguished guests privately in the middle of the night, throw themselves into their arms." Give me a hug."
Meng Hanyi froze all over, pinched his fingertips fiercely on his palm, and after a long time bowed to Chu Yu, picked up the qin on the ground, raised his eyes and said, "Second Master Chu misunderstood, thanks to Mr. Jiang for not giving up, he was willing to keep me Then settle down here as a luthier. First, Han Yi has never signed a contract of sale, so he is not considered a servant of the Jiang family. Second, Han Yi and Lord Hou are not even talking about a private meeting, but just reminiscing about the old days."
As soon as the words fell, Chu Yu had already applauded coolly: "That's right, you've learned a lot."
The maid at the side rushed over, took the lantern from the master, and put a light fur coat on Chu Yu's shoulders. Chu Yu wrapped her cloak tightly, and couldn't help coughing lowly, just now she choked on the cold wind from running too fast, and now even the fetus in her womb was fussing. He leaned down slightly, raised his hand to rest on his protruding belly, suppressed his cough in a muffled voice, and refused to show any weakness in front of Meng Hanyi.
"Second Master Chu, be careful." Meng Hanyi's eyes fell on Chu Yu's stomach, and a bit of bitterness flashed in his eyes.
Chu Yu laughed lightly: "It's not comparable to Mr. Meng's delicate and weak body, he will fall if he pulls it."
Qin Zheng's brain became hot, and he subconsciously wanted to explain: "Second Lord!"
"Shut up." Chu Yu gave him a cold look, "It's not for you to interrupt."
Qin Zheng was dumbfounded: ...
Meng Hanyi lowered his head and smiled wryly: "I haven't seen Second Master Chu for many years, and you are still so...aggressive."
Chu Yu straightened her waist, nodded and said, "Mr. Meng is the same. I haven't seen the same pretentiousness for many years. But you didn't even have the courage to look up at me back then. Now that you have the support of the Jiang family, your courage has grown. I think the Jiang family treats you good."
Meng Hanyi's face changed slightly, and his figure swayed slightly.
When mentioning that year, Qin Zheng suddenly looked up at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu let Qin Zheng scrutinize him without hesitation, and said calmly: "I, Chu Yu, never dared to do it or admit it. Didn't you want to know why Meng Hanyi abandoned you back then? You wanted to know that I was with him What did you say. Well, today I will tell you in front of him again."
"Don't!" Meng Hanyi lost his composure and shouted in shock. He was shaking like chaff, because he was terrified of Chu Yu's mouth.
Chu Yu raised her head arrogantly, looked down at Qin Zheng and Meng Hanyi, and said word by word: "Jingguo Gong Chu's family, the six dynasties were ministers, the ancestors were famous scholars all over the world, and the emperors of the three dynasties were the masters of the six generations. He is the pillar of the imperial court. My father was the first assistant before his death, my mother Wang was a teacher of the Taoist Guiguzi lineage, my brother became an official at the age of seventeen, and served as the head of the Imperial Academy. There are three volumes of iron coupons in the Chu family Danshu, and the dragon cane is used to beat the fainting emperor. A slanderous official, the founder of the country, Taizu personally inscribed a plaque for the Chu family. For generations, my Chu family has established a heart for the world, a life for the people, a legacy for the past, and peace for all generations."
Meng Hanyi's face turned pale, and he took two steps back subconsciously. The lingering shadow in his memory overlapped with Chu Yu in front of him again, like a haunted nightmare, bowing his head for life after life. Whether it was the domineering young man back then or the arrogant man today, they were all unattainably noble.
Chu Yu's eyes were full of shattered icicles, and he sneered, "I'm the most unpromising one in my family, but I'm only a second-ranker, earning a three-point limit of civil and military courtesy. But Meng Hanyi, what do you want to do with me?" I compare."
The interrogation five years ago was thrown on Meng Hanyi's face again, and the humiliation from that year hit his heart, making him tremble all over, and he couldn't stand up.
Chu Yu raised his eyes to look at the moonlight, and curled his lips into a chuckle: "When you were close to the water, you were against him day and night, and he treated you like pearls and treasures? If you dared to answer me like that back then, I would respect you." Three points. If you were really courageous and proud, you shouldn't have abandoned him for that little bit of self-esteem. Why wouldn't you believe that he could give you a vow of eternal love? If you didn't believe it at the beginning, why are you doing it now? Come and pester him endlessly. Today I will scold you for being shameless, who will you show your grievances to?"
Meng Hanyi's face was almost blue, he subconsciously moved towards Qin Zheng's back, but he couldn't wait for Qin Zheng's warm words of comfort and his embrace to protect him from the wind and rain.
Chu Yu shot Qin Zheng a sharp look: "Stay still, stay here until the Chinese New Year?"
Qin Zheng's mind was blank, subconsciously raised his legs to follow Chu Yu, saw that the cloak on his shoulders had slipped slightly, and pulled it up for him.
Chu Yu didn't turn her head, she didn't want to see Meng Hanyi who was left behind. After walking for a while, he suddenly turned his head and stared coldly at Qin Zheng who was following behind him every step of the way.
"Qing Ci..." Qin Zheng hummed softly.
Chu Yu glanced at him with disgust in his eyes: "Take off your clothes."
Qin Zheng was taken aback.
Chu Yu snapped, "Take it off!"
Qin Zheng hurriedly raised his hand to untie his clothes. First he took off his clothes, and then he took off his dark clothes. He hesitated until his upper body was completely naked, leaving only a pair of underpants, "Qingci, can you take off your pants when you go back to the room?"
Before he finished speaking, Chu Yu suddenly leaned into his arms, and said in a weak tone, "You hugged him, and the clothes smelled of him, burn them."
Qin Zheng's body froze, he held onto Chu Yu's shoulder and was speechless.
Chu Yu said, "Hold me back."
Qin Zheng hugged Chu Yu without saying a word, and walked forward without saying a word.
Chu Yu leaned her face against his chest. The late autumn night was very cold, but Qin Zheng's body was still hot.
Back then Qin Zheng even packed his bags, he wanted to give up everything and wander the world with Meng Hanyi, but all he got was nothing. Chu Yu's words were like a sharp dagger, scraping away all the reasons he had found for Meng Hanyi. The so-called love is stronger than gold, but it is a joke.
"Chu Qingci, do you trust me that much?" Qin Zheng's voice was almost inaudible.
If the people he cherished and loved refused to believe him back then, where did Chu Yu get the courage to believe that he would not commit any crimes again today.
Chu Yu seemed to be tired, and her voice was weak: "Fool, if I didn't believe you, why did I marry you..."
Qin Zheng didn't hear clearly, and originally wanted to ask again, but seeing that Chu Yu was lying motionless in his arms, he had to give up the idea.
After bringing Chu Yu back to the residence, the bright candlelight reflected Chu Yu's bloodless face and forehead already wet with cold sweat. Qin Zheng was startled, and hurriedly put Chu Yu on the couch, pinched his hand and called, "Second Master? Second Master!"
Chu Yu snorted, curled up into a ball, and firmly pressed against her abdomen.
Qin Zheng's heart was frozen in an instant, and he quickly lifted Chu Yu's clothes, only to see that the bottom of the obscene trousers was faintly red.
