Chinese New Year's Eve, Lieyang Empire, Zhongdu Imperial City.

Fireworks continue to explode in mid-air in the city, and today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the happiest day for people.

Unlike other places in the Imperial City, only the Duke's Palace is not decorated with lights, and there is not even a little bit of New Year's atmosphere.

Ever since she heard that she was forced to get engaged to the young prince of Akatsuki, Chiyuki locked herself in the house, and until now she has neither food nor water, nor has she seen anyone, and no one can knock on her door.

"Young princess, still don't eat or drink?" Chu Xiyan came to Qianxue's courtyard with his hands behind his back.

The maids standing at the door all nodded slightly.

"You go to the banquet, you can have a few drinks today, and you won't need it in the evening." Chu Xiyan nodded, and casually motioned for these maids to go down.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, although the atmosphere is not very good, but it is still the New Year, and the Duke's Palace has also prepared a sumptuous dinner for these servants and maids.

After the maids and guards left, Chu Xiyan knocked lightly on the door.

"Qianxue, open the door and chat with your father, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, it's New Year." Chu Xiyan said softly.

"Is there anything to say?" Chiyuki's voice came from inside the door.

Chu Xiyan sighed and said, "This matter was decided by your grandfather, and my father is also very uncomfortable, but you have to understand that there are some things that we can't do."

"Your Uncle Xiyun and your Aunt Wan'er, aren't these stark examples?"

It took a while for Qianxue's voice to come again.

"Since it's a marriage, why can't you let someone else marry that Skyhawk, why me?"

Chu Xiyan was silent for a moment and said, "The other party is the young prince, the emperor of the Red Moon Empire in the future, and the equivalent status is only comparable to you, the young princess, and you did have a marriage contract at the beginning."

"Marriage? Is it a marriage contract to betrothed to me without my consent? What are you doing with me? I knew you would control my life like this, I shouldn't have come back in the first place!" Chiyuki's angry voice came from inside the door.

"Presumptuous!" Chu Xiyan slapped the door hard and scolded in a low voice.

Both father and daughter were silent.

"Do you know how many people have died and how many families have been broken up in order to save you?" Chu Xiyan said in a suppressed voice.

"I... I've had a good life over the years, although the first few years were a bit hard, but at least I was carefree and happy all day, and then I met Dowling, and it was she who changed all of our lives, and it was he who united us all."

"I love him, I only love him, I don't want to marry someone I've never met, no matter who he is, he can't be compared to Dowling!"

"What if... I mean, if I don't have the power to change that, then I have the power to decide my own destiny..."

"I can't do anything else, but I'm willing to die for the love of my heart! It should be a guarantee of the innocence of this love!"

Qianxue's voice came to Chu Xiyan's ears.

Chu Xiyan couldn't hold back any longer, he slapped his palm on the vermilion door, and directly slapped the locked door open.

….

What caught his eye was sitting in white clothes facing the door, Qianxue's face was a little thin at this time, her cultivation realm was not high, and she couldn't go on a hunger strike for a long time like Daolin.

"Do you know what you're talking about!" Chu Xiyan stood at the door, looked directly at Qianxue and scolded.

A dignified and luxurious *** also rushed over at this time, she was Qianxue's biological mother.

"Xue'er, don't do anything stupid..." The beautiful woman ran over and hugged Qianxue in her arms, crying.

"Mother, I didn't do anything stupid, at least not yet." Chiyuki buried her head in the beautiful woman's arms and muttered.

"I also said that I didn't do anything stupid, you haven't eaten or drunk for a long time, look at your appearance, you're all thin and out of shape." The beautiful woman touched Chiyuki's cheek and said, her tears sliding down her cheeks.

Chu Xiyan looked at his wife and daughter, and his heart was also extremely uncomfortable.

"I know you let Ah Ming go to Shangzhou County, but Ah Ming has already returned yesterday, but what about the people you are waiting for?"

"I wish he would come and snatch you, snatch you away, take you away, and go where no one can find you, but what about others!" Chu Xiyan said in a deep voice.

Qianxue's gaze looked at her father through the gap in the beautiful woman's arm, she didn't expect Chu Xiyan to say this.

"He... He might be preparing—" Qianxue said weakly.

"What are you preparing? What can he prepare! I think he's just cowardly, and he doesn't even have the courage to show up! Such a person, why do you belong! Why should you be my son-in-law?" Chu Xiyan said angrily.

Speaking from the heart, he really didn't want his daughter to be sad, so in this matter, his position was also on his daughter, and even for his daughter to send someone to report the news, he did not stop it, and secretly sent a master to secretly protect Ah Ming, to ensure that the news could reach Dowling's ears.

The message was in the past, but there was no reply like a stone in the sea, and even the people he let out didn't see any movement in the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Residence, which made him the most angry as a father.

Qianxue raised her head to look at her mother, and the beautiful woman said with a look of affection, "Don't listen to your father, maybe that one named Dowling is really planning something, didn't you say that he is very smart?"

Qianxue held back her tears and nodded, but the tears still flowed out uncontrollably.

"Don't cry for the New Year, cry today, you will cry for a year next year, good, let's celebrate the New Year beautifully." The beautiful woman touched the girl's head and said, not to mention how uncomfortable it was in her heart, but she couldn't show it.

"Mother........." Qianxue cried out, she buried her head in the arms of the beautiful woman, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably as she cried.

Tears also fell from the corners of the beautiful woman's eyes, the mother and daughter were concentric, Qianxue was the meat that fell from her body, and her daughter was uncomfortable, so she would naturally be uncomfortable.

Chu Xiyan sighed and sat directly on the doorrail, he looked at the fireworks that were constantly blooming in the air in the distance, and he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

Under the constant comfort of the beautiful woman, Qianxue finally stopped crying.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, so it's time for us to go to dinner." Chu Xi slowly stood up and spoke.

"What did Auntie eat today?" Qianxue asked as she broke free from the beautiful woman's embrace.

This sentence directly confused Chu Xiyan, to be honest, he really didn't know what kind of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner Chu Wan'er would enjoy today's Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Let me eat, but I want to go to the Zhizi Palace to eat with my aunt, if you agree, then I will eat this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, if not, I will continue to be hungry, then what Tianying will marry will only be a cold body!"
