Meizi, why don't you light the lamp? Pushing the door in, it was Xu Shi, who was holding a bowl of cold decanting soup in her hand.

"Auntie." There was no way to avoid it, Chu Lin got up and saluted.

In the early spring, he was in danger in Shewu Mountain, and was accidentally rescued by Du Mei, when the second room had just been separated and the family was poor, but he still did not hesitate to take him in from an unknown origin and treat his injuries and recuperate. Although he recognized this family member at that time in order to cover people's eyes and ears, in Chu Lin's heart, he really regarded the Xu family as a relative.

"Ahh Who? A male voice suddenly appeared in his daughter's room, which surprised Xu.

Her hand shook in a panic, the soup bowl slipped her hand, Chu Lin had been used to it in the dark for a long time, plus he had good eyesight at night, seeing that the soup bowl was about to break, he quickly flashed forward and reached out to catch the soup bowl steadily.

Chu Lin put the soup bowl on the table, took the fire fold on the table and lit the oil lamp. He had looked at the furnishings in this room hundreds of times in the hours he had been waiting for Du Mei, and he knew everything where it was.

"Lord Yan? Why are you here in the middle of the night! With a flutter, a bean light lit up the room with a dim light, and Xu saw the person in front of him clearly.

"Auntie, I'm Chu Lin." Chu Lin didn't know who he was fighting against, in this courtyard, he would rather they call him Chu Lin than the cold Yan King.

"Being the aunt of Lord Yan is really tormenting the people's women! Please also ask the prince to forgive the sin of not knowing at the beginning. Xu stooped down, her tone full of strangeness and alienation.

"Auntie, it was all Chu Lin's fault in the old days, and you shouldn't hide your identity." Chu Lin looked at her and said sincerely.

"Under a serious injury, in order to protect himself, he can't tell the truth, which is not a big deal." Xu's expression was faint, and he glanced at Du Mei, who was sleeping in bed and clothes.

"So, my aunt doesn't blame Chu Lin!" Chu Lin was happy in his heart, he didn't expect the Xu family to think about him so much.

"You are the prince, and we and the other people only have the share of admiration, where can we talk about blame!" Xu Shi seemed to be tired and sat down next to the table.

"Auntie, you still won't forgive me?" Chu Lin was very happy just now, and after listening to Xu's obvious polite words, he immediately fell into cold water again.

"You and we are the same thing, after that day of separation, there will be no intersection, what difference does it make if you don't forgive? If you must have peace of mind, I will solemnly tell you that in the old days, we had rescued Chu Lin, and he had also helped us, and we did not owe each other, and we were all right. Xu lowered his eyes, and his tone was calm and indifferent.

"Auntie, I like it...... Loved Mer. As soon as Chu Lin heard Xu's words, meaning that he would never communicate with each other again, he immediately said what was in his heart in a hurry.

"Meizi is just a village girl in the countryside, how can He De be so pitiful to the prince, I expect the prince to be just fresh for a while, and he will naturally forget about it after a while." Seeing Chu Lin calling Du Mei so intimately, Xu couldn't help but feel suffocated in his heart.

"I have never forgotten Mei'er, and I came tonight to tell her and let her know what I mean." Chu Lin said eagerly.

"You are the high King of Yan, even if you don't have a concubine in your house, you should have a few side concubines and concubines, what kind of beauty do you want, why be obsessed with plums!" Seeing his affectionate appearance, Xu Shi was a little annoyed and glared at him.

"Auntie, I am sincere to Mei'er, and I believe that she is not completely unfeeling for me!" Chu Lin was anxious. But he couldn't show the prince's style in front of the Xu family, and in his selfish heart, he really respected the Xu family as an elder.

Besides, what Xu said is not wrong, Su Muyun in King Yan's mansion has a flower-like beauty, although she is an ornament with him, she is his side concubine after all, and she is the best choice for the concubine in the eyes of the queen mother.

"You have lived in my house for a long time, you should understand Meizi's temperament, what she is doing now has long exceeded what an ordinary girl should be, do you think she will be willing to be trapped in the high wall and deep courtyard and jealous with other women? Or is it for you to juggle between the ladies and the nobles? "Xu's words were as sharp as a knife today, and they cut Chu Lin's heart with blood.

"I ......" Chu Lin closed his eyes, he didn't want to bear it, but he didn't want to give up.

"Plum is only suitable for living in the countryside, cheerful and free, free, doing what you want, having a man who loves him, giving birth to a bunch of children, so it is excellent." Xu Shi changed the conversation and said quietly.

"She won't be willing to do this!" Chu Lin hung his head sadly.

"Don't bother him, I believe Du Shu will give him an ordinary and happy life!" Every mother is selfish, and Xu has long seen her daughter's sadness.

She knew earlier than Du Mei that if she and Chu Lin were together, there would only be endless pain and suffering, and she would not be happy. She also knew that Du Mei only had a brother-sister relationship with Du Shu, but she was in a hurry, and her urgency was to get Chu Lin away, so she had to use Du Shu as a shield.

"Du Shu? Merle wouldn't think so! Chu Lin snorted.

During the period when Du Mei's house was borrowed, Du Shu had been competing with him, whether it was picking duck dung or fishing for water and grass, he secretly wanted to compete for the first place. Now Xu Shi actually directly mentioned him as the ideal son-in-law candidate, which makes him embarrassed!

"Marriage is a major event, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, I am her mother, and I am the master!" Seeing that Chu Lin was very depressed, Xu couldn't help but grit his teeth, wanting to completely break his mind.

"No, you can't! No! Chu Lin stared at his red eyes, roaring like a wounded beast, at this time he was still afraid that Du Mei was sleeping, and he didn't dare to make a loud noise.

"You are the prince, and the marriage event may not be all due to your heart, not to mention that we are waiting for grass mustard!" Xu stared at him with a piercing gaze, and in order to protect her daughter, she puffed up thorns all over her body.

Chu Lin was speechless by Xu's words, precisely because he was a royal family, he couldn't be the master of marriage.

"You go, you haven't been here, and you won't come again. She was drunk at this time, and she didn't know what we were talking about, and I wouldn't tell her about it in the future, and let her sleep well, and tomorrow she would still be in good spirits. Xu Shi couldn't bear it in his heart, and gave Chu Lin an eviction order.

"I ......" Chu Lin was speechless, he thought it was just a misunderstanding about identity, just make it clear, but he didn't know that there was still a gap between them.

"Go away, the black girl knows you, but the stone won't let you go." Xu Shi sighed and stood up, this was already an obvious send-off posture.

Chu Lin had no way to tell Xu Shiming that the black girl was his dog, and the stone was his person. He raised his eyes and saw that the moon shadow outside the window was westward, if it continued to be consumed, it would be useless, it was better to leave first, and he would do it again in the future.

"Auntie take care, Chu Lin will leave." Chu Lin still bowed and saluted.

Xu opened his mouth to correct something, but in the end he didn't make a sound, and only turned his body to avoid it.

Chu Lin opened the door and went out, the night in the mid-autumn season was cold and lonely, the moonlight was sprinkled down, and the cold and unguarded coolness soaked his body, and he couldn't resist the burning pain in his heart.

Xu Shi had been sitting in the Du Mei House, until she heard the sound of the leaves of the big elm tree outside the courtyard, she expected that Chu Lin had already left, and at this time the nerves she had been tense relaxed.

She took the lamp, and came to see Du Mei in front of the bed, the dim and unknown light cast a shadow on her long eyelashes, and her face was as pink as a baby because of the wine, and she didn't know what she dreamed of in her dreams, and the corners of her mouth were raised, and there was a faint smile.

"Meizi, my mother is for your good, don't complain about my mother's decision." Xu pulled the quilt and muttered.

In the end, Xu believes in Chu Lin's character, at the beginning, he was recuperating in her house, and even bathed in his own room, he liked Du Mei and would never do anything to hurt her.

Xu stared at Du Mei's smile, sighed softly, put the decanting soup within reach of her hand, blew out the lamp, and went back to her own room.

On the second day, there was a lot of fog, obscuring the sky and the sun, and not leaking the light of the day.

For the first time, Du Mei slept in. When she woke up, she felt a headache, her throat was dry and almost smoking, and when she saw a bowl of hangover soup at hand, she picked it up and drank it in one go, and her heart was a little more refreshed.

She glanced out the window, only to feel that it was not clear, and for the first time she was lazy to get up, she lay back on the bed, her eyes stayed on the roof in a daze, and Chu Lin's face appeared in her mind.

The wine is even more sad, this is true, last night's wine did not help her forgive Chu Lin's deception, but reminded her of the past bits and pieces.

She shook her head vigorously, as if she wanted to throw him out of her mind, and her cheeks were touched by the dampness on the pillow, which reminded her of the cool embrace last night, and there was no one in the room.

After a while, she couldn't lie down after all, and saw that the sky hadn't changed a little bit for a long time, so she got up and looked out the window, only to realize that it was foggy.

Xu came to see Du Mei lightly in the morning, and when he saw that she was sleeping deeply, he didn't disturb her. He also instructed the three little ones not to quarrel with her, the stone was silent, so the whole house was quiet, and there was no sound.

"Mother, why don't you call me?" Du Mei was still wearing yesterday's clothes, rubbing her eyes and coming to the kitchen to find Xu.

"Look at you, how can you still look like a girl, you are getting bolder and bolder, and you dare to drink!" Xu Shihu reprimanded her with a face.

"How did I know that this wine is so powerful, I won't dare next time." Du Mei raised his hand and said, not forgetting to stick out his tongue after speaking.

"Do you take a shower first, or do you eat first?" Xu Shi glanced at her and asked.

"I'd better take a shower first, I'm all stinking!" Du Mei lowered his head and sniffed himself, and said disgustedly.

"You know." Xu Shi said angrily, but he helped her make the hot water in the pot.

After taking a shower, the whole body was refreshed, Du Mei's headache was relieved, and the family sat down to eat. Because of the fog, it was rare that I didn't go to the river beach to drink horses and eat with them.

"Why are you eating now?" The big girl pushed the courtyard door and came in.

"Is it too late?" There is no sun, and there is no way to judge the hour for a while.

"No, no, I'll just say it casually." The eldest girl remembered that Du Mei drank too much last night, and she must have been drunk and slept a little longer.

"It's so foggy today, I can't see the road, let's go to town later." Du Mei said to the eldest girl while drinking porridge.

"I think it's better to rest for a day today, I'm afraid the three people in your shop are even more drunk than you." Xu Shi said suddenly.

Hearing this, Du Mei and the eldest girl looked at each other.

"I'll take a look." The eldest girl immediately got up and walked to the courtyard gate.
