Chapter 698: Honest with the Past

Cheng Zhilan bent her lips, but her smile was full of bitterness: "Back then, I was married." ”

There is nothing to regret about this matter, but when facing the Zhuangzi period, for some reason, Cheng Zhilan felt a little difficult to speak.

But there are some things she has to say.

"Fu Jia...... After the accident, my family put my marriage on hold for a while, but it was only for a year. ”

It was a year when she forced her life to fight for her fiancΓ© and her deceased husband.

But in the second year, the family had an opinion, and the two families only made a small decision, although they exchanged Geng posts, but the Fu family died overnight, and the girl who had a good son in her own family was so filial piety to a husband who was not married, and the Cheng family couldn't accept it.

What's more, she is the only daughter in the family, but there are several brothers and sisters-in-law who have their own thoughts, and there are always those who hit the sister-in-law with their ideas.

So from the second year, the family began to say goodbye to her one after another.

Family affairs are the words of the matchmaker of her parents, but Cheng Zhilan thinks that she is a member of the Fu family in this life, so she naturally refuses to remarry, and after a few quarrels with her family, she did a bold thing.

"Running away from home?"

When he heard Cheng Zhilan talk about it, Zhuangzi was also a little surprised, after all, Cheng Zhilan in his impression was not such a bold girl.

Cheng Zhilan nodded and said softly: "It's a pity that my luck is not good, the first time I ran away from home, I met robbers." ”

It was Pingyuan Bo who saved her.

The man slashed into the bandits with a silver spear and rescued her.

At that time, Cheng Zhilan originally thought that she was going to die.

But Plain Bo gave her a second life.

She said briefly, but Zhuangzi could imagine the situation at that time, and he didn't know whether to be happy or bitter for a while.

"So you married him?"

The grace of saving his life, with his personal promise, is also a good fate, no wonder after that person died, Cheng Zhi Lanken propped up a huge mansion for him.

"It's not."

Cheng Zhilan shook her head, frowned, and said, "It's home." ”

After being rescued by Uncle Pingyuan, the family had a little thought, and she was hugged by Uncle Pingyuan in full view of everyone at that time, so those people were even more moved.

When rumors spread in Beijing, Cheng Zhilan was angry and annoyed, and when she went to apologize to Pingyuanbo, she accidentally overheard the conversation between the doctor and him.

He...... I won't live more than a year.

So the words of apology changed direction.

Ping Yuanbo was worried that after his death, there would be no one at home to support the lintel, so she would support the family for him, which could be regarded as his life-saving grace.

Anyway, with such persecution at home, she will not be able to escape sooner or later, rather than with others, it is better to follow Pingyuan Bo, and she can also repay her kindness.

When Cheng Zhilan said this, her expression was a little distant for a while.

Even though they had been together for less than a year, she admitted that Pingyuan Bo was a good man.

He knew the true purpose of his marriage, so after marriage, he never touched himself.

They get along not so much as husband and wife, but brother and sister.

Therefore, after Pingyuan Bo died, she tried her best to support Pingyuan Bofu and raised her eight-year-old younger brother, in order to repay his kindness.

"He's a, very nice guy."

Hearing the nostalgia in Cheng Zhilan's expression, Zhuangziqi's heart was both sour and distressed.

He didn't expect things to be like this.

Cheng Zhilan is nominally married, but she has been guarding herself all these years.

How hard has she suffered?

Thinking of this, Zhuangzi became more and more guilty, he actually thought that Cheng Zhilan was doing well!

How can you call such a day?

"Ah Yuan, I'm sorry ......"

Hearing Zhuangziqi's apology, Cheng Zhilan looked stunned.

That sound, Ah Yuan, she heard it many times in a trance in the middle of the night, but every time she woke up, it was empty.

She thought she would never hear it in her life.

And his apology.

It was clear that Cheng Zhilan didn't feel much torment before, but after hearing his words, she couldn't help but redden.

"What do you owe me, why don't you say sorry?"

It was a long time of more than 20 years, the best youth of a woman, and the unspeakable love and suffering hidden in her heart.

She questioned every word, which made Zhuangzi more and more speechless: "It's all my fault, I owe you too much." ”

Hearing his words, Cheng Zhilan looked at him for a while before asking, "Then why didn't you come to me back then?" ”

When she said this, her eyebrows and eyes were full of caution, and Zhuangziqi's heart softened.

Probably because she was afraid of poking his sadness, so she even looked so weak when she questioned him.

Zhuangzi sighed and said, "At that time, I didn't dare. ”

In fact, there is nothing that can't be said about those past events, she wants to know, and he just says it.

"At that time, I was protected by my grandfather, and the whole Zhuang family died in the fire, and I was the only one who survived."

Thinking of what happened back then, Zhuangzi still felt that his heart was torn, but it was probably because the person in front of him was Cheng Zhilan, but it gave him the courage to say it.

"I'm dragging my sick body around the world, I'm already so embarrassed, where do I dare to come to see you?"

What's more, he only knew that he had offended someone in his family, but he didn't know who the enemy was, for fear of affecting his Ah Yuan again.

Therefore, he did not dare to see it, he could not see it.

It wasn't until later, when the lovesickness was unbearable, that he finally couldn't help but go to Shangjing, but he saw it......

Ten miles of red makeup, eight sedan chairs.

Since then, his sweetheart has married another woman.

Zhuangzi didn't say these words, and Cheng Zhilan naturally didn't know what she missed on the day of her wedding.

It's just that those pasts that have been simplified by him, hearing it in her ears, are enough to make her feel uncomfortable.

Cheng Zhilan sighed and said after a while: "Actually, you can come to me." ”

Over the years, she has never given up looking for Zhuangzi Period, but she also knows in her heart that nine out of ten times the other party is no longer alive, so she will burn paper money for Zhuangzi Period every New Year's Day, and the silver money to inquire about the news is even more scattered.

When she supported Pingyuan Bofu, a large part of the reason why she chose to do business was also to inquire about the news.

After so many years, these things have become a daily routine for her, and even Cheng Zhilan herself has no hope, the reason why she is still sending people to find it is just that she is afraid of missing out on the slightest possibility.

But she didn't expect that things in the world would be so coincidental.

Thinking of this, Cheng Zhilan's eyes were a little more tearful: "After this time, you don't want to hide from me anymore, right?" ”

Her words were full of pleading, and even her expression was a little more pitiful, and the heart of Zhuangzi who saw it softened.

If he was forced to do so, why would he want to leave Cheng Zhilan again?

But......

"The way I look nowβ€”"

I didn't want to finish Zhuangziqi's words, but I saw Cheng Zhilan's expression instantly turned cold, gritted her teeth and said, "You can try it later." ”

It was clear that her tone was still soft, but the threat in her words made Zhuang Ziqi suddenly swallow the rest of the words.

Seeing that he didn't say anything more, Cheng Zhilan was satisfied, and immediately asked, "Did you agree?" ”

When it came to this, Zhuangzi didn't want to agree and couldn't do it.

He sighed helplessly, and then responded: "Naturally." ”

Seeing that he agreed, Cheng Zhilan's smile became a little more, and she nodded: "Okay, I remember this, you are not allowed to go back." ”

She had a bit of a young look in her eyebrows, and she was in a trance when she saw Zhuangziqi, and for a moment, she felt that she had traveled through time and space and reunited with Ah Yuan again.

The next moment, his consciousness retracted.

This is not Ah Yuan back then, but now she is obviously more attractive.

The years have not defeated the beauty, not to mention, it is such a person who has infiltrated the poetry and books.

"Okay."

In a trance, Zhuangzi heard himself say this.

……

In the evening, the group went to the restaurant for dinner.

Today is the courtship banquet between the Lin family and Xie Yuancheng, and the restaurant was arranged earlier.

Originally, it should have passed, but because of their affairs during the Zhuangzi period, it was delayed for half a day.

Lin didn't think there was anything, but Cheng Zhilan felt very sorry in her heart, and she kept apologizing to her on the way: "I didn't live with you today, and I almost delayed your business." ”
