As if she had expected this reaction from me, she tilted her head, raised her lips slightly, and asked me with a chuckle, "How many years have you been with him?" Do you know what happened to him? ”

This sentence was like a sharp needle, and it stabbed me straight to the point.

When I first entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, I was locked in a dark room by Chu Yu for three months because I was afraid of the dark, and when I came out, I became more timid and cowardly than when I went in, but I was no longer afraid of the dark.

In the following months, in order to let me establish a foundation in martial arts, he asked me to take a horse step in the cold pool, hang a golden hook upside down on the side of the cliff, and throw stones in the ice and snow...... For seven years, five of them were spent wandering in the dark and training.

Because I couldn't stand the cold and pain, I often sneaked out to hug Shi Mo and cry, but every time I was discovered by Chu Yu, I faced even more cruel training.

Shi Mo told me that Chu Yu doesn't like cowardly little girls, he himself is a strong person, so if you want to stay by his side and want to live, you must learn to be strong, because cowardly people ...... is not worthy to stand by his side!

After several years of this, I was able to get rid of the hard days that lasted for several years, and Chu Yu was finally willing to take me out and finally called me softly...... I thought I was already the most qualified person to stand by his side, until Liu Tianlan asked me: Do you know what happened to him in the past?

I realized that in seven years, countless days and nights, he rarely even smiled at me, let alone ...... Tell me about his past......

Looking at Liu Qianlan's smiling face, I suddenly felt sarcastic, and I laughed, and I asked her in a cold voice: "So you know?" ”

Yingying's eyes swept over her face, Liu Qianlan covered her lips and smiled, and her words were soft and tactful: "Is the girl willing to listen?" ”

"You say." My face didn't change, but my heart had already made waves, what she wanted to say ...... Maybe that's what I've been speculating all along.

Liu Qianlan was not restrained, and took me to a wine shop not far from the royal palace to sit down, watching the restaurant change several waves of people, she supported her chin with her hands and whispered to me: "Actually, Chu Yu and I have known each other since childhood. ”

Childhood...... Is it a childhood sweetheart?

"When I was young, my father was a small county official in a remote place, and Chu Yu was the son of the prefect. Because of the relationship between the two families, our parents were engaged to each other when we were born...... It is also because of this relationship that almost all of our childhood time was spent growing up in each other's company......"

Really...... As her words began, my heart also fell to the bottom, they have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they have no guesses, such a relationship...... Self is easily incomparable to others.

Taking a sip of sake, there was a faint haze on Liu Qianlan's delicate face, and she took a deep breath of cold air before she smiled bitterly: "I have known since I can remember that Chu Yu will be my Liu Tianlan's husband in the future, he is the person I want to marry, although it is a marriage contract made by my parents, but I know it in my heart...... If I really marry him, I will be very happy. ”

"But I don't know when it began," her autumn-like eyes suddenly filled with tears, holding the wine cup, she struggled to control her almost stumbling voice, "The prefect's official career has not been smooth one after another, and he has been excluded and suppressed everywhere in the court, and my father's low official rank can't help him...... Uncle Chu's official rank was also demoted again and again, until in the end, he couldn't stand such successive blows and hanged himself at home......"

"At that time, I knew that I was with Chu Yu...... I didn't have a chance to live in the next life......"

"How so!" I couldn't help but take her words, "My brother must have been at the lowest point in his life at that time, if you were willing to be by his side at that time, how could he ......?"

Raising his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a square handkerchief, Liu Qianlan shook her head and said with a sad smile: "You won't understand later, my father is old and has a daughter, and if I am a daughter who is over half a hundred years old, he will not be willing to entrust the rest of my life to the son of a criminal minister......"

What a son of a sinner, it's ironic.

"So you voluntarily married Yijun Junshou?" I stared at her coldly, my eyes as cold as an arrow.

Chu Yu is such a proud person, his parents died when he was young, and his beloved fiancée also abandoned him, how much humiliation and unwillingness he suffered at that time...... will have the idea of wanting to control the fate of the world.

In the final analysis, all of this has nothing to do with Liu Tianlan.

For a moment, Liu Qianlan's expression was stunned for a moment, and only when the tears in the corners of her eyes gradually dried did she darken her eyes and said quietly: "So what?" My father burst into tears and forced him to die...... Uncle Chu's death was a big blow to Chu Yu, he was depressed for a long time, and I know the pain of losing a loved one...... I can't, and I don't want my father to follow in Uncle Chu's footsteps......"

The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. It was Liu Cheng who handed Liu Tinglan to Chu Yu in the first place, and it was Liu Cheng who later took Liu Tinglan away from him.

It's no wonder that in the later officialdom, Chu Yu would be like him-for-tat.
