Chapter 37: Can We Really Do It?
"Can we really?" Cold Frost looked up and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Gu Tingyu nodded: "En," he stretched out his hand and hugged her: "I promise you, we will definitely leave here, and I will make you the most noble woman in the world." ”
Leng Shuang leaned on Gu Tingyu's chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, she felt that this heart seemed to be gradually rejuvenating, as if she could feel Gu Tingyu's pulse.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Cold Frost asked suddenly.
Gu Tingyu's expression stiffened slightly, he didn't expect Leng Shuang to notice it, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "Shuang'er, do you believe me?" I will always be there for you. ”
"No matter what happens, even if the sky falls, I will help you withstand it, don't think nonsense, hurry up and rest." Gu Tingyu said softly.
Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu, finally nodded, broke free from Gu Tingyu's arms, she lay on the bed, looked at the curtain above her head, and slowly fell asleep.
On the second day, as soon as Leng Shuang woke up, the sound of Leng Father and Liu's arguing came from outside.
She quickened herself to get dressed, and after hastily freshening up, she walked towards her father's room.
At this time, the atmosphere in the room was very oppressive.
"Master, you have to listen to the concubine in this matter," Liu knelt on the ground and cried and said: "Shuang'er can't stay, if she really marries into the royal family, our mansion will suffer!" ”
Father Leng had a calm face and did not speak.
"Husband, you just promise me, Shuang'er is too young, how can she be the imperial concubine?"
"She is the blood of the royal family, this is a fact that cannot be changed, she is destined to marry the emperor," Liu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Do you want to watch Shuang'er marry a bad old man?" ”
"But the emperor doesn't love her, Shuang'er married her, and she is a widow." Ryu continued to cry.
Father Leng sighed: "I don't want her to suffer, but ......"
"Dad, don't hesitate," Leng Shuang's voice was a little hoarse, she walked in, looked at Leng Father and said: "Dad, my daughter can't stay here anymore, my daughter is leaving this sad place, Dad, you have to take care of your illness, and when you are well, your daughter will take you to the mountains and rivers, and your daughter will also plant grapes for you to drink." ”
"You girl," Father Leng glared at her, and then sighed again, "That's it, that's it, it's all fate, my life was picked up, and it should be returned." ”
When Liu Shi heard this, her eyes turned red, and she pounced on Father Leng and cried.
Leng Shuang looked at the crying Liu, turned around, walked to the courtyard, and looked in the direction of the door, her eyes were filled with crystal clear tears.
She can't escape fate after all, her life was saved by the Liu family, if it wasn't for the Liu family to send her to this home, maybe she would have died a long time ago, so she must repay her, not only because the Liu family saved her life, but also because the Liu family is her only reliance in this family.
Cold Frost walked out, she stayed in the courtyard for a while, and then slowly walked towards the small courtyard where she lived.
Gu Tingyu was sitting on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand, looking at a portrait on the table.
She looked at the paintings hanging on the table and suddenly laughed.
She picked up the scroll on the table and looked at it carefully.
The woman in the painting is beautiful and charming, with a hint of arrogance between her eyebrows, even the woman in the portrait gives people a cold and elegant feeling.
"You painted this picture?" Cold Frost asked.
Gu Tingyu raised his head, he stared at the woman in the painting, his eyes were full of affection, he nodded, and said softly: "This is my mother," he paused, and added: "She is very beautiful." ”
"She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, she has always told me that she used to be a royal princess, but unfortunately she was hunted down by the enemy, exiled to the people, and sold into the Qinglou." Gu Tingyu said calmly.
"She said that if she could return to Beiling Kingdom safely, she would be willing to give herself to you," Cold Frost's lips quivered a few times, and then said.
"But don't blame me for being ruthless, if you stay here, sooner or later you will be tortured to death by that man."
Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang: "I won't let you marry him." ”
Leng Shuang smiled: "Okay, then when you marry a wife, I will definitely participate." ”
Gu Tingyu nodded, did not refuse, but took Leng Shuang's hand, the figures of the two people gradually drifted apart, Leng Shuang could even smell the smell in the air a little strange, she frowned, but did not ask Gu Tingyu.
"Sister," she looked at Gu Tingyu and said, "Don't worry, I will find a way to get you back to Kyoto." ”
"Hmm," Gu Tingyu nodded.
He still needs time now, and he can't rush it, after all, he is not strong enough to resist the imperial power now.
"Shuang'er, I've already decided, within three days, I will marry you to General Lin Shao," Liu looked at his daughter and said through gritted teeth.
"Mother, why don't you let me go with Brother Tingyu?" Leng Shuang looked at Liu Shi in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief: "Brother Tingyu is very good to me, why don't you agree?" ”
"Because you are not worthy of being a princess, I would rather let you marry a country man than enter the palace," Liu said.
"But," Frost was going to say.
"No, Frost, I've already decided," Liu looked at her and said, "If you don't agree, then get out of the house!" ”
"Mother," Leng Shuang asked puzzled, "why are you forcing me to marry someone I don't like?" ”
Liu's eyes dimmed, she looked at Cold Frost, and said softly, "Shuang'er, I don't ask you for fine clothes and food, but you can't drag my son down," she said in a choked voice.
Leng Shuang was stunned, her originally firm heart instantly relaxed, her steps staggered, and she almost fell to the ground, fortunately she held on to the wall, so as to avoid falling herself, but her eyes were moist, and her voice trembled a little: "Mother, you know, I don't like him at all, why do you want me to marry him?" ”
"Because my mother can't watch you destroy yourself."
Liu Shi clenched his fists tightly: "I have decided, I will not allow anyone to hurt you, if you are obsessed, my mother can only use this method, do you understand?" ”
"Mother......
"Shuang'er, don't meddle in this matter, I don't want to lose such an excellent child as you, so I can only sacrifice you for this marriage event," Liu took a deep breath: "Shuang'er, don't worry, if you don't like it, I will find you a good family as soon as possible, don't blame your mother, your mother is also for your good." ”
Cold Frost's eyes flashed with grief.
"Don't worry, when your mother finds you a good family, your mother won't stop you from meeting Gu Tingyu."
Cold Frost closed her eyes, trying not to let her tears fall, knowing that no matter how much she tried to persuade her, her mother would not change her mind.
Leng Shuang stood up and walked towards the courtyard where Gu Tingyu lived.
Cold frost knocked on the door.
She pushed the door open and walked inside.
Gu Tingyu raised his head and saw her, his eyes lit up.
Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu's dark eyes, and slowly approached him: "Are you really willing to marry me?" ”
Gu Tingyu nodded.
"But I am the eldest daughter of the lord of Nanyang, if you dare to take a concubine, she will definitely kill me," Leng Shuang said after a moment of silence.
"You can move to the border with me," Gu Tingyu said lightly.
Leng Shuang shook his head: "I won't move to the border with you." ”
"Why?" Gu Tingyu asked suspiciously.
"Because my future doesn't belong to the border," Leng Shuang lowered his eyelids and said lightly.
"I know you have hatred in your heart, but I can't stop you, because I hate them more than you," Leng Shuang's face showed a hint of mockery: "Since I want to marry you, you have to protect me and make my life more comfortable, do you understand?" ”
Gu Tingyu nodded.
"I'm going back to packing my things," Frost glanced at the contents of the room and said lightly.
She walked to the dresser, reached out and took out a set of jewelry boxes, picked a hairpin from it and put it on, and picked a bracelet, and finally she picked out a string of Buddhist beads, and then put it in her hand and fumbled for a while before putting it in her purse.
"Okay, you go to sleep first, I'm leaving." Leng Shuang glanced at Gu Tingyu, and then walked out.
"Miss, what are you doing here?" Seeing her actions, Liu couldn't help but ask.
Leng Shuang said indifferently: "Mother, you can help me send that bracelet," as she said that, she took out a bracelet from her arms and handed it to Liu: "Just say, this bracelet is a gift from Tingyu to me, I want to give it to Tingyu,"
When Liu Shi heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "Shuang'er, this bracelet, our family is not lacking, how can this kind of tattered thing match your identity?" ”
Leng Shuang smiled and said, "Mother, do you believe me? ”
Liu Shi looked at her daughter's serious expression, she sighed, took the bracelet over and said, "How can I not believe you, this bracelet will be sent to Tingyu in a while,"
Leng Shuang laughed and pulled her sleeve: "Mother, you are so good." ”
Liu patted the back of her hand and said, "I will discuss with your father this time, so you can get married with peace of mind," she sighed and turned to leave.
Cold Cream returned to the room, sat in front of the vanity mirror, and looked at himself in the mirror in a daze.
"Why don't you tell your mother the truth," Gu Tingyu walked around from behind the screen.
Cold Frost glanced up at him, "What do you think I should say?" ”
"You can say you love me," Gu Tingyu sat on the bed and looked at Leng Shuang: "I know you don't like him, you just use him as an excuse, you won't really marry him." ”
"So what, I'm going to marry anyway, rather than being divorced, I'd rather marry a man who doesn't hate me," Leng Shuang said lightly: "Gu Tingyu, our deal has been reached." ”
Gu Tingyu hooked the corners of his lips, he suddenly approached Leng Shuang and pressed her under him: "Shuang'er, I will take care of you." ”
"Don't touch me!"
"Shuang'er, we're about to get engaged, don't you want to spend even one night with me?" Gu Tingyu leaned close to her ear and said with hot air.
The picture of that day flashed in Leng Shuang's mind, her cheeks flushed, and she pushed Gu Tingyu away violently.
"I still have some things to do, you can rest first," Leng Shuang dropped this sentence and left.
Looking at Leng Shuang's back without hesitation, Gu Tingyu pursed his lips and smiled, he knew that this girl was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, even if he didn't say it, she would agree to herself.
"Young master," the little guy walked to Gu Tingyu's side and whispered, "Do you like that girl?" ”
"I don't like her," Gu Tingyu said calmly, "I can't live up to the old lady's entrustment." ”
"Young Master...... Are you really going to marry that girl? ”
"Well, I will marry her," Gu Tingyu said: "You tell me to go down, tomorrow morning, prepare a sumptuous breakfast, and I will invite her to dinner," he thought for a while and said, "I want to buy a few more bottles of good wine,"
"Yes, young master."
Early in the morning of the second day, Leng Shuang woke up, and just after getting dressed, the voice of the mother-in-law came from outside: "Miss Leng, our third lady invites you to come over,"
The corners of Leng Shuang's mouth raised a curvature, then he tidied up his hair, took Xiao Tao, and followed his mother-in-law to the Gu family's flower hall.
