Chapter 36: Mutual Suspicion
Chu Xiuyuan was holding a cup of tea and taking a sip, and when he heard the words, his hand paused slightly. The imperceptible movement, but it was still captured by the eldest grandson Changqing, she squinted her eyes slightly, lowered her head and pretended to pick mung bean cakes, but a trace of strangeness flashed in her heart.
Although the relationship between the eldest grandson Changqing and Chu Xiuyuan was determined by Chu Xiuyuan's mother and the eldest grandson Changqing's biological mother. And after coming to Dongming, Ruan Qingguan also admitted in person that between their two mothers, there was indeed a verbal agreement on the marriage of the eldest grandson Changqing and Chu Xiuyuan.
But that was only the last time Ruan Qingguan recalled Xin Ruoyi, and he mentioned it in passing, Chu Yuntian had never mentioned this matter in front of everyone!
Moreover, since then, whether it was Ruan Qingguan or Chu Yuntian, the two of them no longer mentioned this matter, and even Chu Xiuyuan never discussed this matter with the eldest grandson Changqing again. Chu Xiuyuan is the prince of Dongming, he once said that he has only the eldest grandson Changqing in his life, and now Chu Xiuyuan is in the age of marriage, the position of the crown princess is vacant, Ruan Qingguan and Chu Yuntian have never mentioned that they want to include the eldest grandson Changqing as the crown princess!
The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker.
Now what the eldest grandson Changqing knows is that his mother entrusted her to Chu Xiuyuan on her deathbed. It's just that whether Chu Xiuyuan's family is willing to accept it, I'm afraid it's still unknown, right?!
The eldest grandson Changqing was not stupid, she knew that Ruan Qingguan and Chu Yuntian must have deliberately not mentioned this stubble, otherwise they would not have let her stay in Chu Xiuyuan's mansion for so long in vain. It's just that why did the couple not want the eldest grandson Changqing to be with Chu Xiuyuan, why did they order Chu Xiuyuan to look for her in the first place? Why did he stay in Dongming for so long and didn't urge Chu Xiuyuan to send him back to Beichen Kingdom?
At this time, the eldest grandson Changqing and Chu Xiuyuan mentioned that they wanted to return to Beichen Kingdom, which was intended to test Chu Xiuyuan's attitude.
"What's the hurry? How long have you been here? Play more time and come back. ”
Chu Xiuyuan seemed to be unintentional, ignoring the sentence "family affairs are decided" in her mouth.
The eldest grandson Changqing has something else, Chu Xiuyuan's words clearly say "play", and deliberately ignore the sentence related to family affairs, according to his meaning, he led the eldest grandson Changqing's sister and brother to Dongming Country to play? Then why was his excuse in the first place?
took her back to her hometown to see her elders, and got the approval of her parents to set up a family affair first, and then to wait for her to be hired? Now hanging like this, if you don't want to, why do you have to be reluctant? What kind of calculation is this Chu family?
Thinking of this, the eldest grandson Changqing's brows moved slightly, his heart couldn't help but be a little depressed, and his tone was also a little impatient.
"Some people are homesick, no matter how good they are outside, they are not as good as being in their own home! Besides, Huaijin is still young, he has been away from home for so long, Mrs. Du and grandmother are afraid that they are going to be in a hurry! ”
The eldest grandson Changqing thought about it, put the eldest grandson Huaijin out, and made some excuses.
"Besides, I've been thinking about it for a while, I don't know what kind of bullying she has in the house......
Thinking of Banxia, the tip of the eldest grandson Changqing's nose was slightly sour, she really wanted Banxia, that stupid little girl, the little girl who tried her best to fish herself ashore from the lake.
"Two days ago, I have ordered someone to send a letter to the eldest grandson's mansion for you, telling them that you and Huaijin are all right, so that they don't need to worry."
Chu Xiuyuan thought for a moment, then spoke, and directly blocked the words of the eldest grandson Changqing.
"As for Banxia, don't worry! Before you and I left, I asked the housekeeper of the Chu Mansion and ordered him to take care of it from time to time, thinking that it would hinder my face, and those individuals in the Changsun Mansion would always have to be careful. ”
Chu Xiuyuan said, the eldest grandson Changqing was even more depressed in his heart, but he couldn't speak, he seemed to want to be in front of him in everything, and now in this situation, he couldn't find any good excuses to ask to return to Beichen Kingdom.
"Well, you're still thoughtful."
The eldest grandson Changqing lowered his eyes, but there was a dark tide surging in his heart. Chu Xiuyuan, this person, is now more and more incomprehensible to her, looking at the way he takes care of himself on weekdays, it doesn't look like a fake. He used to swear that he would not marry, but now he is secretive about the relationship between the two and does not mention it. After thinking about it, the eldest grandson Changqing was a little frightened, and he always felt that this trip to Dongming was not so easy to go back!
"Or ...... Let's send Huaijin back to Beichen first! He followed me out and suffered a lot, and if my grandmother knew, she might feel distressed! I was so relieved to send him back early! ”
The eldest grandson Changqing hesitated, but finally decided to speak, no matter what, she couldn't let the eldest grandson Huaijin suffer with her. The road ahead is unknown, she is afraid, afraid that because of herself, she will affect her eldest grandson Huaijin. The huge eldest grandson Prime Minister's Mansion, except for the eldest grandson Kongqing, is only such a villain, and he treats himself as a family member.
"Peace of mind? Is it difficult for me to be in this prince's mansion, and what kind of man-eating monster can't be? ”
Chu Xiuyuan chuckled, as if he was teasing, but the corner of his eye was looking at the eldest grandson Changqing.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have a biological mother, and no one cares about my good luck. Huaijin is different, he is the treasure of grandmother and Mrs. Du's heart, how many people are thinking about it? This sister who follows me all day long and is out of tune makes them worry in vain! ”
The eldest grandson Changqing was stunned, his eyes dimmed instantly, although there was some joke in his words, but it was somewhat self-deprecating, but it made Chu Xiuyuan, who was looking at her on the side, a little stunned, and his heart was a little regretful.
Xu is such an emotion somewhat conceals the real worry in the heart of the eldest grandson Changqing. She was really worried that Chu Xiuyuan would use the eldest grandson Huaijin to do something, if so, how could she be worthy of what she said to the eldest grandson Kongqing before leaving, "Will take good care of Huaijin, will take good care of Huaijin's safety?" She was alone and fearless, she was afraid that she would burden her eldest grandson Huaijin. Now looking at Chu Xiuyuan's posture, she is more and more sure that the Chu family seems to be planning something, and it is certain that all this must be related to herself!
"With me, with this huge prince's mansion, with the heavy guards of my prince's mansion, what are they worried about? You can rest assured, if it's really boring, I'll let you go out for a walk tomorrow? ”
The eldest grandson Changqing was speechless, it is because of you, your prince's mansion, and the heavy guards of your prince's mansion that I am worried, okay?
The eldest grandson Changqing's arm inadvertently touched a hard object on his waist, and when he heard that Chu Xiuyuan was willing to let her go out for a walk, he suddenly had a plan.
"That's it! I've been practicing for the past few days, and I'm really tired, so it's good to go out for a walk. ”
The eldest grandson Changqing responded, then pulled up Chu Xiuyuan's sleeves again, and deliberately smiled coquettishly: "It's still Xiuyuan's best for me." ”
Seeing that she was nothing unusual, and no longer mentioned going home, Chu Xiuyuan relieved himself and shook Changsun Changqing's hand dotingly, but Changsun Changqing avoided it without a trace, pinched a piece of mung bean cake and took a bite, pretending to be happy: "This mung bean cake is so delicious, do you want a piece?" ”
"Well, it's sweet but not greasy, and it's soft in the mouth, which is really good."
Chu Xiuyuan responded, so he also reached out and took a piece of mung bean cake and took a bite of it.
And the eldest grandson Changqing secretly pinched the jade pendant on his waist, his eyes were slightly tight.
Because of the recent period, the eldest grandson Changqing was busy practicing, and Chu Xiuyuan was busy with official business, and the two had not seen each other for many days, Chu Xiuyuan was stunned and had dinner. After the meal, the eldest grandson Changqing sent Chu Xiuyuan away under the pretext of going to accompany the eldest grandson Huaijin to talk and talk about the relationship between sisters and brothers.
The eldest grandson Changqing moved to the eldest grandson Huaijin house, and saw a small person sitting crookedly at the head of the bed reading a book, with black hair like ink scattered on his shoulders.
"Sister is here?"
The eldest grandson Huaijin saw that the eldest grandson Changqing was coming, and he was very happy, and turned over to get out of bed and put on his shoes.
"Have you had dinner?"
The eldest grandson Changqing stretched out his hand to stop the eldest grandson Huaijin who wanted to get out of bed, and when he saw him nodding in response, he was relieved, he was now the time to grow his body, and three meals a day were indispensable.
"Sister will talk to you and leave, you don't have to get up."
The eldest grandson Changqing stretched out his hand and closed the door of the eldest grandson Huaijin's room tightly, then ran to the window and stretched out his head to look out, and then closed his window tightly.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Seeing her so cautious appearance, Eldest Sun Huaijin couldn't help but ask.
"Huaijin, what do you think of Chu Xiuyuan's character?"
The eldest grandson, Changqing, stared straight at him and asked.
"Brother Chu...... Very good to my sister and excellent to me, but ......"
The eldest grandson Huaijin hesitated, as if there was something unspeakable.
"Just what?" The eldest grandson Changqing asked.
"It's just that I always feel that after he returned to Dongming, it seems to be a little different, and I can't say it, I always feel that it is not as good as in Beichen Kingdom." Eldest Sun Huaijin frowned and replied carefully.
"Huaijin, you listen to what my sister said......"
The eldest grandson, Changqing, whispered in his ear.
"Sister, no, I'm leaving, what should you do alone? I'm going to stay with my sister! ”
The eldest grandson, Huaijin, couldn't help but exclaim.
"Shh......h Sister is fine, he always has to remember the old relationship with his sister, and he won't be embarrassed, now in this situation, you go first, and my sister will chase you after taking care of things. ”
The eldest grandson Changqing coaxed the eldest grandson Huaijin, and now in this situation, one can go, and the eldest grandson Huaijin is gone, so she can rest assured.
The eldest grandson Huaijin knew that the eldest grandson Changqing was thinking about himself, his eyes were slightly red, and he nodded obediently. The eldest grandson Changqing relieved his heart and hugged the eldest grandson Huaijin until he fell asleep, and the eldest grandson Changqing turned around and left.
Biwuxuan study.
"You said Changqing stayed in the Huaijin House for more than an hour?"
Chu Xiuyuan's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were sharp.
"Yes, master."
Xuanwu replied respectfully. In addition to teaching the elder Sun Changqing's sister and brother to practice martial arts every day, Xuanwu is also responsible for secretly guarding the two sisters and brothers at night.
"Do you know what they said?"
"Miss Changsun locked the doors and windows, but no sound came out, and after she left, I took a look, Young Master Huaijin was already asleep, but there was nothing abnormal."
"Doors and windows locked?"
Chu Xiuyuan was secretly shocked, isn't the eldest grandson Changqing really alert? But looking at her appearance in the daytime, it didn't seem like she knew something.
"In the past few days, you have given me a good life, staring at the eldest grandson Huaijin."
"Yes, master." Xuanwu retreated.
Chu Xiu's eyes were like eagle falcons, staring at the direction of Xuanwu's departure, his thoughts rolling.
A few days ago, he asked the innocent two about the fact that the carriage that the eldest grandson Changqing was riding was stopped halfway and the coachman was missing, this matter was really strange, why could she be so calm? Chu Xiuyuan was really depressed in her heart, it seemed that she really had something to hide from herself.
