Su Yi stood outside the gate of Cao's Mansion and stopped for a long time.

It's funny to say, he has been to Cao Mansion many times, but he hasn't walked through this gate much, most of them have climbed over the wall and walked through the back door, and they all went to Cao Lingcheng's boudoir.

It has only been a few months since the two first met? Su Yi seemed to have gone through several reincarnations, as if he was in a different world. If it hadn't been for the chance meeting with Cao Lingcheng that day, he would have left Beiyue City a long time ago, would there be no many things in the future?

Su Yi is not a person who believes in fate. The so-called "destiny" is just a random selection of thousands of inevitabilities. Again, it's still inevitable. Even if he didn't meet Cao Lingcheng in Beiyue City, the two would meet in Dongyue, Nanyue, and Xiyue. As long as he sees it, he can't forget that innocent and lovely face.

After a glance, it is all inevitable, no coincidence, not fate, and not predestined.

The government official is still the government officer, the government official who made money with Su Yi at the beginning. It's just that when I see Su Yi again now, I feel a little less familiar and more awe, just like seeing my own uncle.

"Yo, my aunt is here. The Nafu servant quipped.

The subordinates of the Cao Mansion are obviously not qualified to know more news, but they only say that their young lady's good things are coming, and they are happy for her.

"You get busy first, I'll go in by myself. Su Yi smiled. It's fun to be an uncle who can't be real, and it's good to be a fake "Miss Cao's husband".

"Well. The government servant responded and went to work again.

In Cao Yude's study, Su Yi came as promised.

"I've seen Master Cao. His name changed, and Cao Yude listened to it in his ears, and his expression did not change in the slightest.

"Su Gongzi is here. Cao Yude put down the book in his hand and smiled slightly.

The two of them each said a word, and they confessed to each other.

"Brother Cao said, Master Cao wants to see the juniors, but I don't know what's going on?" asked Su Yi.

At this time, the two of them knew the roots, and there were many fewer twists and turns in their words, and Cao Yude didn't have to hide his words from a junior.

"Sit down first. Cao Yude took out a thin flat brocade box from the small drawer under the table, put it on the bookcase, pushed it in front of Su Yi, and said, "First thing." ”

There is no need to open it to see, Su Yi also knows what is inside, and the number is only a lot more than that given by Old Lady Cao.

"Su Gongzi's performance in Beiyue City is eye-catching, and he has made a lot of meritorious contributions, and he is a great favor to my Cao family. It's just a small thought, it's a little compensation, you can take it first. Of course, if Su Gongzi has any difficulties in the future, our Cao Mansion will definitely help. ”

This statement is not much different from what Mrs. Cao said at the beginning, but when it comes out of Cao Yude's mouth, it has a different taste.

Since he decided to leave, he must accept the money, which can be regarded as a formal statement, which reassures Cao Yude. Su Yi didn't pretend to excuse himself, took the brocade box, and stuffed it directly into his arms without opening it. Money is a good thing, but for him, as long as it is enough to spend, there is no difference between more and less.

His calmness, or the fact that his face did not change in the face of money, made Cao Yude feel a little surprised.

"I don't know what the second thing is?" asked Su Yi.

"I don't know where Su Gongzi will go in the future? Your uncle and I have some connections, but do you need me to find a place for you? Cao Yude still can't change the kind of cozy attitude when dealing with others. The old guy was not satisfied with Su Yi's statement, and wanted to use his words again and implement them again from the surface.

Su Yi couldn't hear it, so he simply made his words clear and said, "Can Master Cao tell me why he opposes my marriage with Ling Yan?"

What is the reason, Su Yi thought about it for so long, and he guessed everything. asked Cao Yude for an explanation again, but he was not reconciled and wanted to hear him say it in person.

The juniors were all blunt, Cao Yude naturally couldn't flicker anymore, and sighed deeply and said, "Can you give your daughter happiness?"

Su Yi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, thinking a lot, but rarely starting from Cao Lingcheng's point of view. As a father, such a reason is normal and most reasonable. It was Su Yi who thought too much about himself, thus ignoring a father's love for his daughter.

And can I make my child happy? Su Yi thought about it several times, but he only passed by and did not go directly to the core of the problem.

Su Yi finally shook his head slowly, and had to admit, "No." ”

"It is true that when I was thinking about the question you just asked, I focused most of my attention on the level of interests, starting from the overall situation and considering the entire Cao family. But the essence of marriage is the happiness of young people after all. And what I care about most is my son's happiness. Other issues are just a last resort. In my opinion, you may have the strength and the future, but you don't have that right now. Do you understand what I'm talking about?"

Su Yi said dejectedly: "Although I haven't fully figured it out, I can understand the meaning." ”

"Then do you still blame your uncle?" Cao Yude only then showed a trace of the kind of loving eyes that the elders looked at the juniors.

"Not now. Su Yi said calmly.

Cao Yude is a shrewd person, and even a little overly interested in interests. But it is undeniable that his love for his daughter can make him weigh the pros and cons and make the most beneficial choice for Cao Lingcheng.

Cao Yude nodded with satisfaction and said, "Su Yi, I'll send you another word." ”

"Uncle, please. ”

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the pile will come out of the shore, the flow will be turbulent, the line is higher than the people, and the people will not be it." ”

"After being taught, the younger generation will definitely keep a low profile in the future. ”

"You're going to be mistaken. Cao Yude shook his head and said: "Although it is right to be low-key, it is not okay to be blindly low-key." If you want to avoid being destroyed by the wind, you have to grow strong. When they come out of the shore, they are indestructible. He acts higher than others, and uses his fists to silence those who criticize him. If you have a little strength, you can look down on others a few points. ”

"Uncle really looks up to the younger generation. Su Yi smiled bitterly.

That's all the two have to say. However, the marriage contract was made by Mrs. Cao, and the marriage had to be decided by Mrs. Cao in the end. Even if Cao Yude disagrees, he can only express his position.

The long-lost Yiju Garden.

The conversation between Su Yi and Mrs. Cao was not so straightforward, like a grandson or an old friend, and they didn't mention the business for a long time.

Su Yi still couldn't hold back, and asked first: "The old lady wants to see the junior, what's the matter?"

"Finally I can't hold my breath?" said the old lady Cao, "Can't you just chat, you have to have something to do to find you?" Old man, I'm very old and lonely, and I have no one to accompany me, so I think you're a good candidate." ”

"That's not what the juniors meant. Su Yi smiled. Of course, he knew that Old Lady Cao wouldn't just talk to him, so he said this probably just to ease the atmosphere, so he said in passing: "Won't Doctor Yan chat with you?"

Su Yi glanced at Yan Qibai on the side, this person seemed to be in Yiju Yuan and not leaving. Now Blackwater City has also retreated from Crescent Moon Mountain, but he is still messing around with Old Lady Cao here.

"He can't do it, he's old and useless. I still like to talk to young people. Old lady Cao waved his hand.

"Grandma's legs, if you hadn't begged me to come down, I would have returned to Crescent Mountain a long time ago, and now I'm talking like this. Yan Qibai said angrily.

Su Yi smiled and said, "Old lady, if you have anything to say, just say it, I'm already prepared." ”

Old lady Cao didn't answer and asked, "Have you been to see Yude?"

"Just met. Su Yi replied.

"I'm not one of those fools, and I never take back the promises I made. It's the same with a marriage contract, unless you want to get out of it. ”

Speaking of withdrawing from the marriage, Su Yi's heart suddenly tightened. No matter how much I thought about it before, I was only depressed at most, but when it came to the last step, it was a little unimaginably unbearable.

Taking a deep breath, Su Yicai said decisively: "I decided by myself, I want to withdraw from the marriage." ”

After saying this, he didn't feel the slightest relaxation, but his heart was uncomfortably tightened as if he was being bound by something. It was as if a breath of heat had been squeezed into his head, causing the bridge of his nose to sore and his eyes to rise slightly, almost causing tears to flow out.

"If a man doesn't keep his word, he can't become a great talent. If you really think so, then I have mistaken you, and I can only increase my disappointment. Old lady Cao sighed.

Su Yi was slightly distracted, and seeing that he didn't mean to laugh at all, he was puzzled: "Isn't the old lady thinking about the overall situation, nor for the happiness of his son?"

"Tell me why you want to get out of the marriage. Old lady Cao asked.

"I can't give my son happiness. Su Yi copied Cao Yude's words, and he also agreed that this was the most important reason.

"That's what Yude told you, right?"

was broken by Old Lady Cao, Su Yi didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said, "But the younger generation also thinks so." ”

"Do you think that if you withdraw from the marriage, you will be happy?"

"This..."Su Yi was stunned.

"All you say is the happiness you think you can give her. But she also has the right to pursue what she thinks she thinks is happiness, isn't it?"

That's true, but so what? I'm going to leave after all.

"But wouldn't it be too cruel for her to keep waiting for someone who doesn't know if she can wait. ”

Old Lady Cao was silent, and it seemed that she couldn't refute Su Yi's words.

"So, are you determined to leave?" In his heart, there was still a thought that Su Yi would stay. And if Su Yi wants to leave, it must be that the return date is unknown.

Su Yi nodded and said, "The matter of the marriage contract is all up to you." If Mi'er can find another wishful husband, it will also be a good thing, and the younger generation will never say much. ”

Old lady Cao slowly closed her eyes, leaning back on the Taishi chair, not knowing what she was thinking.
