However, Chu Kuo knew that this world did not allow him to have such "if" thoughts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Guan Niang, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you!" Chu Kuo's eyes were slightly red, and he said hoarsely.

I took a deep breath of the faint fragrance of Su's hair, this familiar smell will never be there again in the future.

"Nope! It's me who isn't good enough and drags you down. Su Shi broke away from Chu Kuo's embrace, raised his hand and wiped the tears on his face, "It's not too early, Lord Chu, don't leave it here, I wish you all the best in the future." ”

After speaking, he took Chu Yuning's hand and walked away without looking back.

She was afraid that when she looked back and saw the bleak figure, she would lose the courage to continue walking, and she was even more afraid that she would have the idea of ignoring the world's opinions, turn around, and desperately embrace him into her arms.

Because, she can't.

She couldn't ruin his life because of her willfulness and selfishness, and make him lose everything that all the scholars in this world had spent their lives pursuing.

How could she drag the beautiful Lord Chu Yushi into the quagmire and fall into the dark place?

It made her worse than killing her!

For the two of them, parting, and being irrelevant from now on, is the best explanation for each other.

Su Shi took Chu Yuning's hand and walked faster and faster, almost running.

"Mother, Yu Ning will always be with you!" Chu Yuning raised her eyes to look at Su Shi and wiped her tears.

Su's tears flowed more and more fiercely.

It wasn't until she turned a corner of a wall and was sure that Chu Kuo could no longer see that she squatted down, hugged Chu Yuning into her arms, and cried freely.

The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried almost drippingly, and then wiped each other's tears and helped each other to stand up.

And beside them, two carriages had been parked unconsciously, and there was a circle of people around the carriages, blocking the view of the outside world.

"Ma'am."

Chu Yuning saw through her red and swollen eyes that a slightly chubby figure wearing a regimental collar Fuzi gown bowed to Su and saluted with fists.

"Steward Liu!" Chu Yuning recognized the person and was a little overjoyed, "How did you end up here?" ”

"I got the news from Little Brother Lan, and I know that Mrs. is out of the house today, so I am here to greet Mrs." Steward Liu said with a smile.

Steward Liu is Su's dowry steward, who manages the business of a restaurant in Beijing for Su's family, and is the most relied on person in Su's room.

In the previous life, after the disappearance of the Su family, Steward Liu was in charge of the three shops where the Su family married, and after Chu Yuning turned thirteen, he handed over all the Su family's dowry industry to Chu Yuning.

Steward Liu did not cheat and hide her secrets because she was a little girl, but as a rule, he handed over the account books and surpluses to her clearly every quarter.

Chu Yuning naturally felt affectionate when she saw Steward Liu, but when she heard him mention Lan Zhou's name, the smile on her face fell, and when she saw Lan Zhou standing not far away, she looked at her with a blank face, and couldn't help but stare at her with a pair of almond eyes, "If you don't go back to Chu Mansion, what are you going to do with us?" ”

She looked like a fierce person, Lan Zhou didn't say anything, but it first aroused Su's dissatisfaction.

"Yu Ning, today's incident is thanks to Little Brother Lan for inviting Master Song to arrive in time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Little Brother Lan is his mother's life-saving benefactor, how can you talk to him like this?"

Su Shi said, only to remember that he had not yet thanked the great master of Song, but there was no figure of Song Yi here.

Lan Zhou seemed to know what she was thinking, and whispered, "Mrs. Hui, Master Song has left first." He had been unintentionally helped by the small one before, so when the small one came to the door, Song Xiangshi didn't take a penny, so he happily helped. ”

When Chu Yuning heard this, a trace of self-deprecation suddenly appeared in his heart.

is worthy of being a male protagonist, no matter where he goes, there will be adventures.

Otherwise, how can a little beggar invite a dignified Song master.

Su Shi only gave him 100 taels of silver at the beginning, and asked him to invite a lawyer to come to the door with a lawsuit at a critical moment, threatening Mrs. Chu to take the matter to the court, so as to force Mrs. Chu to agree to her and Chu Kuo's reconciliation.

Lan Zhou is really the "darling" of the "author", no matter where he goes, he has to be favored by the "author", and he is just a stumbling block between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and he is destined to be cannon fodder by the author.

Thinking of this, she became more and more determined that this matter was over, and she could no longer have anything to do with Lan Zhou.

So he ignored the disapproving look on Su's face, took off the purse on his waist, walked in front of Lan Zhou, held his chin high, and said with a proud expression, "Thank you for today's events, this purse is a reward, plus one hundred taels in your hand, it is enough to rent a small house." I see that you have a bright mind, you should be good at reading, don't be a little beggar anymore! ”

As he spoke, he stuffed the purse into his hand, turned around and walked to Su Shi, "Mother, it's not early, I want to go to the new house as soon as possible!" ”

Lan Zhou held the purse tightly in his hand, pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, then suddenly walked up to Su Shi, bowed to her and said, "On that day, Zhou had nowhere to go, so he had to be taken in by Mrs. I wonder if Madame can take in the little one now? ”

Su Shi looked at this lovely child, with a slender body, wearing a white-washed gray robe, which made him more and more slender and thin, although he bowed and saluted, he did not feel inferior, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, which was impressive.

This child is just from a poor background, and if he was born in a solid family, he still doesn't know what kind of creation he is.

Su Shi is soft-hearted, and has a very good impression of this child, and now is indeed the time to need manpower.

"Mother! Let's go! Chu Yuning didn't give Su Shi a chance to reply, took her hand, as if trying to get rid of Lan Zhou, and pulled Su Shi to the carriage with an impatient expression.

Su Shi had no choice but to be pulled forward by her, but he didn't forget to turn back to Lan Zhou and say, "You follow Liu first." ”

"Mother!" Chu Yuning raised his head and glanced at her dissatisfied.

Su touched Chu Yuning's head, smiled at her comfortingly, and helped her into the carriage.

The rest of the people got into a carriage in the back.

"Little Brother Lan, where did you offend you? Or do you have a prejudice against him? Su Shi took Chu Yuning into his arms and asked.

Since the robbery, her Yu Ning seems to have grown up overnight, no longer loses her temper indiscriminately, acts neatly, has sharp methods, has frequent ideas, and has become extremely sensitive, this should not be what an eight-year-old girl should be

However, when facing Lan Zhou, she became the rude, willful, and domineering little girl she used to be.

In the future, only the mother and daughter will depend on each other, and the Su family hopes that Chu Yuning can let go of her worries, even if she is not as innocent as before, she can grow up happily and carefree.

After all, the older she gets, the more worries she will face in the future.

"Mother, I can't tell, I just don't like him." Chu Yuning buried herself in Su Shi's arms and said sullenly.

Every time, even if she just thinks of that person, her heart aches again and again, how can she bear it, and be under the same roof with him in the future?

"That's it. Then let him follow Steward Liu as an apprentice in the shop. It's good that you can't see it. Su Shi touched Chu Yuning's face and said.

"Hmm." Chu Yuning nodded.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped.

Steward Liu picked up the curtain and said in a respectful tone: "Madam, Su Mansion has arrived." ”

Su Shi pulled Chu Yuning's men out of the carriage.

Chu Yuning looked up at the brown lintel in front of him, which was not unfamiliar, and the simple and sparse word "Su Zhai" showed a smile.

This is their new home from now on.
