Chapter 44: Awkwardness

The eldest grandson, Changqing, sat quietly against the door frame, neither anxious nor annoyed, as if he didn't notice Chu Xiuyuan coming back.

Chu Xiuyuan, who had taken a few steps forward, saw that the eldest grandson Changqing did not react, and his heart was even more depressed. Seeing that her situation was not as angry with herself as in the past, she gradually felt a little uneasy in her heart. After all, he was still a little unbearable, so he turned around and walked towards her again. I saw her thin back again, and a gust of evening breeze blew her thin clothes, but when I saw her body trembling slightly, she shrank down. Chu Xiuyuan couldn't pay attention to her in the end, sighed lightly, walked behind her, and stretched out his hand to pick her up.

Suddenly, with a "snap", a box fell out of the arms of the eldest grandson Changqing. Only then did Chu Xiuyuan realize that what her wide sleeves covered was actually a wooden box! The sound of the box landing on the ground startled the pensive eldest grandson Changqing, and she came back to her senses, hurriedly pushed Chu Xiuyuan away, and jumped out of his arms. The eldest grandson Changqing squatted down, carefully opened the box, and saw the broken jade in half, his heart trembled, and tears fell down after him.

I don't know if it's because of the broken jade in half, or because of the side, the eldest grandson Changqing's emotions that have been suppressed for a long time suddenly poured out.

Seeing her trembling shoulders and sobbing lowly, Chu Xiuyuan realized that something was wrong! Hurriedly squatted down to check, and her face was full of tears, and then she looked at the jade that was broken in half on the ground, and there was a faint sense of guilt in her heart.

I don't know how long it took, but the sobbing sound of the eldest grandson gradually died down.

Crying vaguely in a trance, the eldest grandson Changqing supported his knees with his hands and stood up tremblingly. It should have been squatting for a long time, and the blood in her legs was a little unsmooth, and before the eldest grandson Changqing could stand firmly, he felt that his legs were weak and he almost fell, but fortunately, Chu Xiuyuan on the side quickly helped her. After stabilizing his body, the eldest grandson Changqing gently pushed Chu Xiuyuan away, picked up the wooden box on the ground, hugged it into his arms, and didn't say a word, just hugged the wooden box and turned around and walked towards Biwuxuan.

Chu Xiuyuan looked at her departing back, a little distressed, a little annoyed. A thousand words, after all, turned into a deep sigh.

The eldest grandson, Changqing, returned to Biwuxuan, raised his eyes to look at the empty room, and his heart was empty. Gently put down the box, then closed the doors and windows, got into bed with his clothes, and lay quietly on the bed. Their thoughts had already flown away with the eldest grandson Huaijin and them, and they didn't know if they had successfully left the Dongming border and when they would be able to return to Beichen Country smoothly.

"She has a meal for today?"

Chu Xiuyuan was asking about Biwuxuan's newly transferred mother-in-law.

Because the eldest grandson Changqing sent away the jade bamboo and agarwood, Chu Xiuyuan transferred some people again and came to Biwuxuan to take care of the eldest grandson Changqing's diet and daily life.

"Back to ...... Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, no...... No, since Miss Changsun returned home this afternoon, she has not eaten a grain of rice, and she has not touched a drop of water......"

The woman replied cautiously, and before she dared to raise her head, she could feel the cold aura around her.

"Slave maid...... The slave maid brought the food over, but Miss Eldest Sun was not in the house......"

As if she was afraid that Chu Xiuyuan would take the blame on herself, the mother-in-law hurriedly opened her mouth to explain.

Chu Xiuyuan naturally learned from the guards that the eldest grandson Changqing had been sitting at the gate of the mansion for most of the day. Chu Xiuyuan's face sank: Is she just tossing herself without eating or drinking?

With a wave of his hand, the woman was sent out, and Chu Xiuyuan paced alone to the door of the eldest grandson Changqing's house. Seeing that her doors and windows were closed and she couldn't hear a little movement, she secretly felt bad in her heart, so she quickly raised her foot and kicked the door of the house open.

The eldest grandson Changqing, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, was startled by a "boom" sound, and immediately sat up from the bed in fright, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Chu Xiuyuan with an anxious face and the door lying on the ground. She frowned slightly, never spoke, and only looked at Chu Xiuyuan with a puzzled expression.

Seeing that the eldest grandson Changqing was fine, Chu Xiuyuan relieved himself. Standing awkwardly at the door, neither entering nor retreating.

"Ahem, I saw that your doors and windows were closed, and I thought you were ...... Something happened, that's why I ......"

Chu Xiuyuan coughed twice and stood at the door with an embarrassed expression.

The eldest grandson, Changqing, glanced at him indifferently and did not respond. Then he turned and lay down, and did not say a word to him from beginning to end.

Seeing her so cold, Chu Xiu was anxious and angry in his heart, and stepped forward a few steps to scoop her up from the bed. This night is more deeply exposed, and there is no door, and the house is filled with wind, and if it is cold, it is her body that suffers, and it is not herself who is distressed?

The eldest grandson Changqing struggled for a while, and found that Chu Xiuyuan was tightly imprisoned in her arms, so he gave up resisting and remained quiet, just letting Chu Xiuyuan carry her and walk outside the house. When Chu Xiuyuan put her down, she realized that Chu Xiuyuan had carried her to his room.

"You will be able to sleep in my room tonight!" Tomorrow, I'll have someone repair the door of your house. ”

Chu Xiuyuan gently put her on the bed and carefully folded the quilt for her.

The eldest grandson, Changqing, kept his eyes open, staring blankly at the roof, and didn't speak.

"I'll go sleep in the study!"

Seeing that she was still silent, Chu Xiuyuan was helpless, left a word, and turned around and walked outside the house.

The eldest grandson, Changqing, turned his back and ignored him, only to hear him sigh, and then there was a sound of the door closing. The eldest grandson, Changqing, had his palms tight

Pulling the quilt, the tip of her nose smelled the smell of the futon, which she was familiar with.

Closing his eyes, his mind flashed over the past year or so, all that had happened since he met Chu Xiuyuan. After thinking about it for a long time, it was not until he vaguely heard the rooster crowing outside that the eldest grandson Changqing fell asleep groggy.

Next.

It wasn't until the sun was exposed to three poles that the eldest grandson Changqing woke up leisurely.

When he first opened his eyes, the unfamiliar environment made the eldest grandson Changqing suddenly feel for a moment. The sunlight that penetrated through the window was a little dazzling, and the eldest grandson Changqing subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

Xu heard a slight movement in the house, and the little girl waiting outside the door dared to raise her hand and knock on the door.

Two gentle knocks sounded on the door, and the eldest grandson Changqing came back to his senses, got out of bed, put on his shoes, opened the door, and saw a handsome little girl with some porridge and soup in her hands.

Seeing that the eldest grandson Changqing opened the door with only his underwear, and his face was a little haggard, the little girl hurriedly put down the food in her hand.

"Miss Eldest Sun, the slave maid will bring you water to wash and wait for you to get up."

The little girl hurriedly turned around and ran out, ran a few steps, and suddenly turned back again: "Miss Eldest Sun, these meals were specially ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be warmed for you." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that you haven't eaten for a long time, it's best to use some light, porridge and soup have been prepared, I don't know what you want to use? The slave will give you some more heat! ”

The eldest grandson Changqing turned his head and stared at the food, a trace of boredom flashed in his eyes, but he still didn't speak. Turn around and slam the door shut. The little girl outside the door was startled, and secretly stuck out her tongue and thought: This master is really difficult to serve.

At noon, the little girl brought some more food, knocked on the door, and saw that there was no response in the house, so she had to leave helplessly with the food.

For a whole day, the eldest grandson Changqing was still not dripping with water, and the grain of rice was not eaten.

Later in the evening, Chu Xiuyuan finished his official work and hurriedly returned to the house, and heard the people in the mansion reply, saying that the eldest grandson Changqing still didn't eat or drink all day, and he never even stepped out of the door.

Chu Xiuyuan was anxious and angry, and hurriedly ran towards Biwuxuan.

When he pushed the door in, he saw Changsun Changqing lying flat on the bed, his eyes closed, and he didn't move. When I got closer, I saw her pale little face, chapped lips, and a haggard look between her eyebrows. Chu Xiuyuan was suddenly distressed, but he couldn't do anything about her, the annoyance and anger in his heart all disappeared the moment he saw her.

As early as when Chu Xiuyuan entered the house, the eldest grandson Changqing had already noticed that the unique aura on his body was not available to others. But she still refused to open her eyes, so she tensed her body and lay straight down. She refused to eat and drink, and refused to speak to him, in fact, she had a deep resentment towards Chu Xiuyuan in her heart, and at the same time, she hated herself. If it weren't for her incompetence, Huaijin wouldn't have left, Yuzhu and Agarwood wouldn't have to leave, and she wouldn't be trapped in Dongming now. However, what she hated even more was that she still had thoughts of Chu Xiuyuan in her heart.

"Changqing, why are you tossing yourself like this? What exactly do you want to do? Can you tell me okay? ”

Chu Xiuyuan's almost pleading voice sounded in the ears of the eldest grandson Changqing, and she was shocked in her heart: Is this Chu Xiuyuan still Chu Xiuyuan? The eldest grandson, Changqing, did not speak, but opened his eyes.

Seeing her open her eyes, Chu Xiuyuan felt a little comforted in his heart, at least she was not completely indifferent.

"What the hell do you want? You tell me, and I answer you. ”

Chu Xiuyuan's tone was a little anxious.

"I want to see your mother."

The eldest grandson Changqing's dry voice came out with a few words. Now in this situation, other things are put aside for the time being, and it is more important to find out about Xin Ruoyi, which is also the main purpose of the eldest grandson Changqing.

"Good!"

Seeing that she was finally willing to speak, Chu Xiuyuan immediately readily agreed.

"If you want to see your mother, you have to save some strength! If you don't eat or drink like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach the inner palace, and you will fall, okay if you eat something? ”

Chu Xiuyuan begged, lest she refuse again. It's just that this time, the eldest grandson Changqing didn't refuse, nodded in response, and then sat up slowly on the edge of the bed.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu hurriedly ordered the maid waiting at the door to prepare food.

The eldest grandson, Changqing, had not eaten since the afternoon of the previous day, and this person was so weak that he couldn't even hold a spoon steadily.

Seeing her like this, Chu Xiu felt sorry for her, reached out and took the spoon, scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew it cold, and sent it to her mouth. The eldest grandson, Changqing, turned his head away and refused to open his mouth. Chu Xiuyuan had no choice but to put down the spoon and let her do it herself.

The eldest grandson, Changqing, held the spoon with trembling hands, and ate the porridge spoonful by spoon unhurriedly. I don't know if I've been hungry for a long time, and the eldest grandson Changqing doesn't have much appetite, so after eating two bites, he put down the spoon and refused to eat anymore. Seeing that she had only eaten so little, Chu Xiuyuan was a little anxious.

"Changqing, do you want to drink some soup again? This chicken soup, I made people skim the oil, and it was very refreshing. ”

The eldest grandson, Changqing, did not speak, only shook his head. Chu Xiuyuan looked at her increasingly thin figure, his heart was distressed, but he was helpless.
