Chapter 34: Rumors
Wen Cheng has been a little uneasy since he returned from Shushen Niangniang's funeral. Chu Xin came many times during his period, but each time Wen Cheng politely refused because he was unwell. Tao'er has always been by Wen Cheng's side, although she did not go with Wen Cheng at the funeral that day. But after all, she has served Wen Cheng for so many years, and Wen Cheng is now so soulless, who else will there be besides Chen Yongyu. If it was before, Tao'er might have turned a blind eye, but since Chen Yongyu had been so ruthless to Wen Cheng, how could she still let it go.
So when Chu Xin came to the county lord's mansion this time, Tao'er made an assertion and brought Chu Xin into the county lord's mansion without authorization. At that time, Wen Cheng was lying on a recliner in the courtyard basking in the sun, although he was in the house, but he didn't know where to fly to. Thinking about other places, someone came to the courtyard, and Wen Cheng didn't notice it for a while. It wasn't until Tao'er took Chu Xin to the courtyard and left that Chu Xin called Wen Cheng lightly, which made Wen Cheng come back to his senses.
"How did you get in?" Wen Cheng looked behind Chu Xin, she clearly told Tao'er Chu Xin to come in and never let him in, how could this dead girl not even listen to her words.
"Thinking that I have come to see the county lord for so many days, I said that I was sick, so I begged Tao'er to let me in. After taking a look at the county lord's health, he was relieved. But ......" Chu Xin paused as he spoke, looked at Wen Cheng, who was a little embarrassed on his face, hooked the corners of his mouth and continued: "But now it seems that the county lord should be fine, and his complexion looks really good." ”
"Hehe......" Wen Cheng laughed twice at Chu Xin, but he couldn't help but talk about Chu Xin in his heart. How could such a smart person not know that he deliberately didn't want him to come in, and now he said this, he must have wanted to make her feel guilty.
"It's been a few days of recuperation, and now it's almost all over, plus this warm sun, this complexion is naturally better. Normal...... Normal ......"
Chu Xin nodded when he heard this, and then sat down next to Wen Cheng. Stretched out his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, his familiar and natural appearance made Wen Cheng really a little surprised, and he couldn't help but stare at Chu Xin and said, "Why are you ...... How can you ......" for a long time, but I didn't say it all.
Chu Xin took a sip of tea, then looked at Wen Cheng with a smile and said, "What's wrong with me?" "I said before that Chu Xin's smile seemed to be able to confuse people, and at this time, such a clean smile that seemed to be without a trace of variegated color made Wen Cheng even more powerless to resist, and he had long forgotten what she wanted to say.
"No, no...... Didn't ...... much."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Chu Xin raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Cheng, and after putting down the teacup in his hand, he suddenly approached Wen Cheng, and the distance between the two was less than a finger wide. The scorching breath of the two sprayed on each other's faces, and they felt crispy and numb. Wen Cheng looked at Chu Xin's face with stunned eyes, and even the fine fluff on the other party's face could be seen clearly at such a close distance. Wen Cheng didn't dare to come out for fear of shocking Chu Xin.
Chu Xin didn't speak, his eyes as calm as water looked at Wen Cheng motionlessly. The two of them maintained this posture, and neither of them moved. The camellia flowers in the courtyard swayed in the wind, and a faint fragrance lingered in the air. As soon as the wind blew, the aroma filled the snorts of the two, and people couldn't help but indulge in it......
"What's wrong with you these past few days......" After a long time, I only heard Chu Xin whisper to Wen Cheng.
These words made Wen Cheng come back to his senses in an instant, and suddenly widened the distance between him and Chu Xin.
"Not much, just resting in the house. But you, what are you doing running towards me all day long? ”
"The county lord said, what am I going to do?" Chu Xin didn't answer the rhetorical question, and just looked at Wen Cheng quietly with a pair of smiling eyes. Wen Cheng was hooked by Chu Xin's appearance just now, and now he has a long memory, and immediately turned his face away and said, "I'm not how you know what you're thinking......
Chu Xin shook his head with a smile when he heard this, his eyes moved away, and he looked away and said, "The county lord has never been out of the mansion recently, so I'm afraid I don't know the situation outside." ”
These words successfully attracted Wen Cheng's attention, only to see Wen Cheng immediately turn his head to look at Chu Xin and say, "What's going on outside?" What's going on? “
"Neither...... But...... There is a ...... about King Yu"
These words made Wen Cheng pause there, thinking why she didn't go out in the house these days, just because she was thinking about Chen Yongyu. She has liked Chen Yongyu for so many years, although Chen Yongyu hurt her so badly, but the relationship for so many years is not something that can be lost. Even if he deliberately wanted to forget in his heart, he still didn't forget Chen Yongyu so quickly in his heart...... Plus...... At the last funeral of Shushen Niangniang, Chen Yongyu's attitude towards her suddenly changed...... To tell the truth, it made her feel both joy and doubt, but more than that, she was happy. Could it be that Chen Yongyu has his own in his heart, but only because of some reasons that he had to treat himself like that in the past......
It's just thinking about these that Wen Cheng hasn't gone out for so many days. So he didn't know anything about the situation outside, and now that Chu Xin said this, he didn't know what was going on.
Chu Xin looked at the expression on Wen Cheng's face and knew that Wen Cheng didn't know anything about the boiling things that were rumored outside, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, and finally he only heard him say: "I don't know the appearance of the county lord...... I thought that the county lord had been staying in the mansion for so many days because of King Yu, but now it seems that there is another reason. ”
Chu Xin's words made Wen Cheng suddenly have a bad premonition in his heart: "What's going on outside?!" ”
"Does the county lord know He Yuyan, the daughter of the prime minister?"
Wen Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and He Yuyan sounded vaguely familiar with the three sons, but he couldn't remember it after thinking about it, so he had to shake his head.
Seeing this, Chu Xin continued: "This He Yuyan rarely goes out on weekdays, and there are very few people who know her. But these days, almost every street is talking about this person for two reasons. One is because of her fairy-like beauty, and the other is ......" Speaking of this, Chu Xin stopped and looked at Wen Cheng. This look made Wen Cheng chuckle in his heart, and before he could say anything, he heard Chu Xin continue: "The second is because of the extraordinary relationship between her and King Yu. ”
"What does it mean to be extraordinary?" Wen Cheng looked at Chu Xin, his eyes full of disbelief. She has liked Chen Yongyu for so many years, and although she doesn't know everything about Chen Yongyu, she basically knows most of the things. Chen Yongyu and the Prime Minister's Mansion can be said to have no dealings, how can he know the Prime Minister's daughter?
