Hanzhu sat in front of the window, looking at the embroidered patterns in her hands, and her heart flew to the front yard.

Outside the window is A Xun's innocent childish words that teases the dog, but Hanzhu's ears are Cheng Yu's words.

He said that Chu Qing could not agree easily, which made her realize it.

What should I do if I don’t agree?

Hanzhu sighed softly.

"Girl, the marquis invites you over. He is in the study." Si Xi walked in with a curtain and said softly.

"Cousin is gone?" Hanzhu asked with her heart.

Sixi nodded and said with some concern: "I asked Fugui what happened. He didn't tell me, but just looked at him like that, and the Marquis seemed not very happy."

Hanzhu's heart sank. It was not until a quarter of an hour before Ah Xun came back, but Chu Qing and Cheng Yu had only talked for so long, but the result was conceivable.

After coaxing Ah Xun to play by himself, Hanzhu went to see Chu Qing worriedly.

Chu Qing sat in the study, extremely irritable.

He is a man, and a woman likes him, so he doesn't take it seriously. The one who catches his eyes calls him to serve him for two nights, and the one who doesn't catch his eyes directly ignores them. No matter whether they are happy or not, it has nothing to do with him. When his wife promised to marry him, Chu Qing thought she could accept him touching those singers, but she didn't expect that she would be jealous of him after marrying for a few days. Later, his wife finally bowed her head. Chu Qing was a little proud. As long as a woman loses her heart, how many people can stick to the end, and in the end they will follow him?

But now, his daughter is at the age of marriage and falls in love with an inappropriate man, Chu Qing is worried. Cheng Yu has a handsome appearance and has taken care of her cousin since she was a child. It would be fine if his daughter is fooled by Cheng Yu and cannot take it back, what should he do?

The sound of footsteps came from outside, and Chu Qing was unprecedentedly nervous. He just saw his daughter walking in with her lips pursed and her head lowered, and she looked guilty and felt guilty. Her daughter really knew that her cousin was coming to propose marriage today, and the cousins ​​had already made a private agreement.

It's like a piece of treasure, no, it's like the egg he just laid, he's about to be snatched away before he's warmed up.

Chu Qing felt sad, but thinking that her daughter was only fourteen and she didn't meet her cousin many times in the past two years. Chu Qing felt that her daughter was not in deep, and it should be too late for him to dissuade her now.

"Hanhan sits." He smiled, his voice softer than before. The mistake was Cheng Yu, a man in his twenties, who was only fourteen years old. His daughter lost her memories of the previous twelve years, and was as easy as a blank paper. It was understandable that she was easily deceived, but she was not wrong at all.

His voice was unexpectedly soft. Hanzhu quickly glanced at Chu Qing, feeling suspicious. Could it be that Cheng Yu hadn't mentioned it yet?

She sat opposite Chu Qing and asked as naturally: "Dad is asking me for something?"

Chu Qing clenched his fists and tentatively said, "Hanhan likes your cousin? He just came to propose a marriage to me."

Hanzhu blushed suddenly and lowered her head to make a decision.

Chu Qing looked at her daughter's shy look and hated Cheng Yu more and more. She stopped Moji and said directly: "Your cousin is not bad. He is good to you and A Xun, and Dad knows it. But Hanhan, after getting married, you are not alone, but you have to deal with the family of Prince Jing's Mansion. Not to mention anything else, just say that your prince and uncle, when your aunt committed suicide by hanging herself, he said that it was because he touched a maid, and your aunt was unable to think about it and was impulsive.

No one knows how stupid the truth is. Your uncle and aunt are suspicious, and because he cannot pursue his identity, the truth is still unknown. In addition, he even ignores his own son. If you marry, the eldest sister-in-law is the prince's wife, and the younger sister-in-law is the prince's wife, and the younger sister-in-law is the prince's daughter-in-law. What kind of flaws will there be between sister-in-law in the future? If your father-in-law does not protect you, the stepmother-in-law will be even more unlikely to help you. Can you have a safe birthday? Hanhan is obedient and forgot your cousin. Daddy will find you a better one in the future."

His words are reasonable, and every sentence is for the good of his daughter. Hanzhu felt even more distressed when she heard this. Her biological mother died in vain. She was not aware of her brother, brother and sister, and her biological father did not take him seriously.

He felt distressed and couldn't care about anything. Hanzhu lowered her head and said, "Dad, I understand everything you said, but I like my cousin. The more he suffers, the more I want to take care of him and make him suffer less. Dad, I know you are for my own good, but my daughter has decided to marry him in this life."

Since there was something like this marriage, she simply said what she thought directly. Chu Qing agreed. She was grateful to him. He refused. She only said this and could not say anything else. After all, Chu Qing was not her real father, and she couldn't act coquettishly and begged him.

Chu Qing didn't expect that his daughter had been deceived to this point, and impulsively scolded: "If he has anything to do, you must not marry him! How many men have you met? You are a little girl, why... Did he guess that I wouldn't agree, deliberately taught you how to say such things and let you fight me?"

He suddenly loudly, Hanzhu was startled and tears fell.

She was shameless. Without the order of her parents, the matchmaker made a lifelong decision with a man who had threatened her at the beginning, but she just couldn't control herself. When she woke up in the pouring rain on the turbulent river, she fell in love with the life-savior who was guarding her.

There was nothing to tell, she lowered her head and waited for her nominal father to continue scolding her.

Chu Qing was shocked by his daughter's tears. How long has it been since he saw his daughter crying?

The anger suddenly dissipated. Chu Qing instinctively wanted to coax her daughter, but she felt that she had given up after such a coax. She would not listen to her daughter in the future. She looked like a strict father and said with a cold face: "Go back first, think about what I said carefully. Life is not as simple as you think. You just need to remember that Dad does everything for your own good and will never push you into the fire pit."

Hanzhu didn't say anything, got up and left, walked to the door to wipe her tears, and stepped out as calmly as possible.

When he returned to the Lotus Courtyard, Hanzhu hid in the house, full of thoughts.

Ah Xun came in after playing for a while. He held the door panel and looked around. Seeing that his sister was actually lying down, he leaned over curiously and asked to his sister's back: "Is sister asleep? Why are you going to bed in the morning?"

Hanzhu wiped her eyes and turned around and smiled, "Sister is not sleeping, why is Axun not playing outside?"

"I want to play with my sister." Ah Xun threw herself into her sister's arms coquettishly.

The little guy is clingy, Hanzhu has no choice but to force himself to accompany him.

At midnight, Chu Qing sent someone to talk back and forth, saying that General Li invited him to drink and came back and forth until he came back in the afternoon.

Dad was out, Ah Xun was a little disappointed, but Hanzhu breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't know how to continue to get along with Chu Qing.

After lunch, Hanzhu coaxed Ah Xun to sleep. She couldn't sleep and sat aside with a veil embroidered. If you have something to do, you can at least change your mind and pass the time, which is better than sitting alone.

Chu Qing came back when the red sun was on the west side.

In fact, no one invited him to drink. Chu Qing didn't know how to face her daughter during lunch. She didn't want to see her and didn't want her daughter to misunderstand him and was angry with her, so she had to find an excuse to go out of the house. Moreover, Chu Qing secretly looked forward to it, giving her daughter half a day to think about it, maybe her daughter would figure it out by herself.

"What did the eldest girl do in the afternoon?" After changing her clothes, Chu Qing asked the maid Wanyun.

Wanyun lowered her head and said, "I have been in the Lotus Courtyard all the time. The girl doesn't go out, and I don't know what slave she has been in the house."

She knew why the father and daughter were having a quarrel, and Wanyun felt a little complicated about this. She hoped that the eldest girl would get married soon, so that the marquis might carry another concubine to help take care of the backyard. She, the eldest maid, was naturally the first choice, but Wanyun was also afraid that the marquis would marry the second wife after the eldest girl got married, so that she could not even control the Baihuayuan.

Chu Qing didn't have the heart to guess a maid's thoughts, so she waved her hand to let her go out, and sat in the room hesitated. Should she ask her daughter to come over for dinner? She called her, and she was a little bit willing to please her. If she didn't, would her daughter misunderstand her father and neglect her?

Two years ago, Chu Qing would never consider these things. He only recognized right or wrong. Whether it was his wife or daughter, he would become cold when he was disobedient, so cold that they thought it through themselves and took the initiative to please him. But now, facing such a delicate daughter who was like water, a sensible and obedient daughter who did not make mistakes but was deceived by her cousin, Chu Qing dared not use the old method. He was afraid that his daughter would be wronged, afraid that his daughter would be angry, and even more afraid that the father-daughter relationship that had finally eased became stiff again.

On one hand, the daughter once hated him, and on the other hand, the daughter's pitiful look of crying silently...

Chu Qing didn't dare to gamble, so he asked someone to invite the siblings to come over before dinner.

After hearing this, Hanzhu had no idea, so she packed up and led Ah Xun over.

When she arrived at the main hall, she respectfully called Chu Qing to Daddy, then lowered her head and sat down in the old position, with her eyes only looking at the table.

Chu Qing knew at a glance that her daughter hadn't figured it out yet, and she was unhappy and was devoted to coaxing her son. Her daughter ignored him, but he ignored her.

The father and son are still talking and laughing.

He was more comfortable with Hanzhu like this. Axun asked her to talk to her younger brother as if nothing had happened. Axun talked to her father, and Hanzhu would have dinner by herself. Axun had a father coaxed her sister to take care of her, and both of them laughed at him. The little guy ate heartlessly and did not notice the wrong between his father and sister.

Seeing that the meal was about to end, his daughter didn't even look at him. Chu Qing felt uncomfortable all over and could not show it.

As usual, the family of three had to talk for a while after dinner. Today, Hanzhu got up early and said goodbye, "Dad, let's play with Ah Xun. I have a few needles to embroider my handkerchief. My daughter wants to go back first and finish embroidering before dark."

Chu Qing nodded faintly.

Watching her daughter leave, Chu Qing's calm face suddenly sank. She was so filial to be angry with her cousin and father!

"Axun, what did my sister do today?" Chu Qing peeled the orange and fed her son, and asked her daughter in a low voice, wondering if the girl was so determined. If her daughter cried or threw something and was angry, it means that she was just angry for a moment and couldn't hold on for long. What she feared the most was the kind of dull gourd that looked soft and had a big idea.

Ah Xun took the orange first, chewed it and spit out the seeds and said, "Sister teaches me to read and practice calligraphy, and then embroider. I'll play with Heihei outside."

Chu Qing guessed that her daughter was most likely venting when her younger brother was not in the house, and asked unwillingly: "Are you unhappy with that sister?"

A Xun blinked blankly, "Why is sister unhappy? I didn't make my sister angry, I'm so obedient!"

Chu Qing choked and forced a smile, "Well, A Xun is the most obedient. A Xun will go back later, don't tell your sister and father to ask you."

Ah Xun nodded obediently. He knew that what adults don’t let him tell him is a secret. Sometimes his sister doesn’t let him tell his father about something, but if his sister asks him, he will definitely tell his sister that he must listen to his sister the most and not lie to her.

Hanzhu was not curious about what the father and son said when they got along. She could not have thought Chu Qing would ask about this. When Ah Xun came back, it was getting dark. Hanzhu stuffed the little guy into the quilt and told him a story. After Ah Xun fell asleep, she also went back to the house to rest. When Sixi put down the gauze tent, Hanzhu looked out the window.

Cheng Yu should have something to say to her, but his arms have not recovered completely, so it doesn’t matter if he walks around, and it’s definitely not possible to fly over the eaves and walls.

Confirm that he wouldn't come, Hanzhu fell asleep peacefully.

I don't know how long it took, but I was awakened.
