Chapter 117: The Ten Year Covenant (Part II)
Su Yang'er stared at Lu Jingyuan, for a long time, without making a sound, and finally sighed and said: "Lu Jingyuan, I am willing to make a ten-year covenant with you, and after ten years, if you don't change your original intention and admire me as before, I will marry you." ”
"Ten years? Why 10 years? ”
"Ten years has passed, which shows sincerity, at that time you were in the prime of life, I was old and yellow, I don't know how many women around you are ten times younger and more beautiful than me, you can want to marry me like this today, I will believe you."
Su Yang'er knows that Lu Jingyuan's blood is strong, and he is greedy for beauty for a while, but Shaohua is fleeting, and in an instant, no matter how gorgeous a person is in this world, there will always be a twilight day. She said in her heart: "Whether I am Su Yang, Su Yang'er, a man or a woman, if I can't survive this troubled world, then I am just a dead man, how can I be ten years later?" ”
She has always faintly felt in her heart that she is not willing to become a real woman, but this is an established fact, time is always a good medicine, the problem that has plagued her for a long time, as if it is easy to solve, she smiled with him, if she can survive for ten years, maybe she will figure it out, maybe she really wants to be a woman, who knows?
Different from Su Yang'er's true feelings, Lu Jingyuan thought: "It's another delaying tactic, if I really make this ridiculous agreement with her, she will inevitably think of ways to make trouble, what Su Qianyi will be for a while, and what Brother Yue will be for a while, I can't believe her, but ...... You might as well promise her first, for the sake of today's plan, it is important to get out of trouble. ”
Lu Jingyuan is such a sinister and cunning person, he will not believe it because of Su Yang'er's words, not to mention that as the only son of a family, he has not married for ten years, what kind of system has he become?
At that moment, he remained silent and asked, "Then in the past ten years, if you marry someone else, what will you say?" ”
Su Yang'er also knew that he would not agree easily, blinked her long eyelashes, and said: "I can swear to you, in ten years, I will not marry or marry, I will not have an affair with any man, and I will guard you like a jade alone, as long as you don't bully me anymore and don't hurt my family, I am willing to treat you as a gentleman." ”
"A gentleman's gift? What is a gentleman's gift? ”
Su Yang'er said: "The gentleman's gift is that you and I respect each other like guests, I will never beat you and scold you again, when you miss me, you can come to visit me at any time, when you are sad, you can also confide in me, what do you think?" ”
In fact, the "gentleman's gift" in Su Yang'er's mouth is nothing more than the way ordinary relatives and friends get along, she has long been tired of the intrigue with Lu Jingyuan, which wasted too much of her mental energy, so she is willing to make great sacrifices and concessions, just to make Lu Jingyuan understand her intentions.
But her words fell into Lu Jingyuan's ears, but they were very harsh, and he said in his heart: "What kind of gentleman's courtesy, is she treating me as a three-year-old child to coax, all women in the world are water-based Yanghua, how can she be a widow for me for ten years, Su Yang'er, Su Yang'er, you little girl is really ridiculous." ”
He sneered at Su Yang'er's words in his heart, but his face was not revealed, and said: "In this case, if you don't marry for ten years, I won't marry for ten years?" Aren't you afraid, in ten years, I will marry someone else? ”
Hearing this, Su Yang'er was very happy in her heart, thinking that Lu Jingyuan was shaken, and said simply: "Of course you don't have to keep this oath, when you want to marry someone else, you can do it, and I will be happy for you." ”
"Happy?" Lu Jingyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said secretly: "Sure enough, this little girl can't deceive people, and I can't agree to her in one bite, lest she be suspicious." ”
Then he said, "What about you?" ”
"Me?" Su Yang'er was slightly stunned, and said in a low voice: "I will probably live alone for the rest of my life." ”
Then he muttered in a very low voice: "If there is a lifetime......
Her voice was extremely thin and light, and Lu Jingyuan only heard the previous sentence clearly, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "What?" ”
Su Yang'er said: "No...... No, I'm just thinking that in fact, a person lives a happy life, and dies without much pain and anxiety, that is a very good, very difficult thing, many people are born alone, isn't it also very good, don't you say? ”
Seeing that he didn't answer, Su Yang'er hurriedly said: "Of course, our agreement is counted, ten years later, if you don't dislike me and are willing to marry me, I will be willing to marry you and have children for you." ”
Lu Jingyuan originally felt that Su Yang'er was deceiving him, but when he saw Su Yang'er saying these words, his expression was serious, and after hearing the words "lonely and lonely", he seemed to be pinched by something in his heart, and blurted out: "Don't worry, I won't let you be lonely." ”
After he finished speaking, he felt that something was not quite right, and when he was about to say more, Su Yang'er smiled and said, "Then I want to thank you." ”
Then he asked, "Then did you agree to our agreement?" ”
Lu Jingyuan groaned slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "I have asked everything that should be asked, it's almost time." ”
While he was thinking, he looked at Su Yang'er, and seeing that her pretty face was full of expectation, he thought again: "No matter what she says, she just wants to send me away, she treats me as a yellow-mouthed child, and wants to send me away so easily, it's really wishful thinking, but if you agree to it and regret it in an instant, won't you lose your trust with yourself?" ”
Lu Jingyuan is a person full of contradictions in his heart, he is born with lies, but if he sincerely agrees, he is extremely trustworthy. At present, Su Yang'er's sincere words were misinterpreted by him as a plan to delay the army, he was conceited, and it was difficult for others to change his mind, but if he agreed, it made him feel quite uneasy.
He pondered for a moment before he said, "Okay, I promised you the gentleman's courtesy, and you can always untie me up?" ”
Here he deliberately changed the "ten-year covenant" to "the gentleman's gift", which obviously has another profound meaning.
But Su Yang'er blindly hoped that Lu Jingyuan would be able to settle his old suspicions with her, and the relationship tended to ease, no longer as tense as now, and even to the point of hurting each other, but she didn't notice this detail, so she smiled and said, "Okay." ”
Just as she came to Lu Jingyuan's side and tried to untie him, she suddenly felt uneasy, just because Lu Jingyuan had not deceived her once, she immediately stopped and hesitated: "That...... Can you swear by that? ”
"Swear?" Lu Jingyuan's heart froze, and he said, "What swear?" ”
Su Yang'er said: "Use what you just said, make a poisonous oath." ”
"Heh......"
Lu Jingyuan sneered in his heart, and said without changing his face: "I, Lu Jingyuan, hereby swear to strictly abide by the gentleman's courtesy made by the two of us, if I violate this oath, I will be killed in a foreign land in ten years, and I will be cut off from my children and grandchildren......"
In order to gain Su Yanger's trust, he did not hesitate to swear a few poisonous oaths, just because he never believed in the oath, Lu Boyan taught him since he was a child, keep your word with others, you don't need to swear, and people and you keep their promises, don't believe their oaths. The Lu family's tutor has always been like this, what others are willing to give you will naturally be given to you, and what others are not willing to give you, only you have to fight for it, and the oath is always unreliable.
Although Su Yang'er had already suffered his losses, he would never have expected Lu Jingyuan to be so vicious, he only made half of the poisonous oath, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Okay, enough, enough, a gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”
Lu Jingyuan said: "That's nature. But he sneered in his heart: "As soon as I am freed, I will make your belly bigger, and I will naturally not cut off children and grandchildren after ten years......"
Su Yang'er revealed her true feelings, thinking that Lu Jingyuan was sincerely moved by her, and bowed her head to seriously untie him.
It's just that the knot tied by Yang Bao is extremely strong, and she worked hard to untie it for a long time before she untied one, and there was only one.
Hearing the sound of "snap", Lu Jingyuan's wrists exerted force, and the rope in his hand collapsed in response, Su Yang'er was taken aback, stood up, and saw him go to untie the rope on his feet, she said softly: "Jingyuan, you go back, when you miss me, you can come to visit me again." ”
"Go back?"
Lu Jingyuan looked up at her and said, "Where are you going?" ”
Su Yang'er frowned slightly: "Of course you're going home, don't you live with your uncle?" ”
Lu Jingyuan let out a light "oh", stood up and said, "That's not my home." ”
Su Yang'er saw the strange expression on his face, and his heart sank, and said, "Then where do you want to go?" ”
Lu Jingyuan said "hey" and sneered: "I'm not going anywhere, this is my home, why should I go?" ”
"You ......"
