Chapter 458 Regret, Free and Easy
This is where he and Yan'er have lived for more than a year.
The scenery in front of me is still the same, but the building is empty.
Lu Chong stared blankly.
"Since Da Yiyi entered the mansion, she has been obedient to you, and has never been polite to you. What else do you want her to do? She has the flesh and blood of the Lu family, and a living little life. Why are you so vicious?"
His beloved girl has always been well-educated, tolerant and gentle. She was called "vicious" for the first time. How desperate should she be in her heart?
"I have not done anything to Bai Yiyi. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Pale and powerless refutation was soon penetrated into the abyss by questioning.
Lu Chong's face was as pale as paper, and he felt a gray color in front of him.
Why didn't he choose to trust her once?
The girl he likes, the girl he loves deeply, has never done something bad?
Why did he faint and give her a fatal blow when she was most desperate and helpless?
How much pain she was and how much she was forced to show such a sarcastic and sad expression, and every word was crying and complained: "You took her into the mansion without my consent; you entered the door as a concubine, but were wearing a red wedding dress, and I endured it; you kept saying that she was weak, I believed it, and allowed her to waive the daily greetings. I think the well water will not interfere with the river, but she will always come to me-"
She was obviously extremely desperate at that time, so why didn't he hear it?
Not only did he not give her comfort, he did not stand beside her when she was most vulnerable and helpless, and did not choose to believe her, but instead the family forced her to question her...
Lu Chong staggered under his feet, reached out to support a sycamore tree in the courtyard, slowly squatted down, leaning weakly on the trunk.
I couldn't help but think of those beautiful vows in my mind.
Lu Chong closed his eyes, hugged his knees with both hands, buried his head tightly on his knees, and was surrounded by waves of dull pain.
...
"Yan'er." Nan Si and Gu Yan were sitting in a carriage and heading towards the Prime Minister's Mansion. "Lu Chong is no longer worthy of your liking. Since you have divorced, you will live again in the future. Don't miss him again."
Gu Yan came back to his senses and smiled faintly. There was a clear cloud between his eyebrows and eyes: "Since you have left the Lu family, you will not think about it again. All the past were just considered as an unforgettable experience in life, just keep it in your memory."
Nan Si pondered for a moment: "Lu Chong will sooner or later wake up. If he comes to ask for your forgiveness, what choice do you make?"
"There is no choice, let the past go." Gu Yan sighed lightly, "It's impossible between Lu Chong and me."
No matter whether you can see the truth clearly in the future, betrayal is betrayal. The harm has been caused, and even if the broken relationship is repaired, it will not be able to return to the beauty of the past.
Gu Yan leaned against the carriage and said calmly: "Bai Yiyi's tricks are too clumsy. She can act for a while, but not for a lifetime. It's only a matter of time for Lu Chong to regret it, but the moment I stepped out of the Lu family's door, it had nothing to do with him anymore."
Nan Si was silent for a moment: "You still have children in your belly."
"This child is my own." Gu Yan said in a faint tone, "It has nothing to do with his Lu family."
Nan Si didn't say anything and looked at her without saying a word.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?" Gu Yan raised his eyebrows, "Do you think I should be heartbroken and in pain when I leave Lu Chong?"
Nan Si shook her head.
No one in this world can't survive if anyone leaves.
"I was just a little surprised." Nan Si smiled, "I was surprised that Sister Yan'er could be so free and easy."
Free and easy?
Gu Yan calmed for a moment: "There must be sadness. After all, he is the only man I liked in my entire youthful years. But love is very fragile and cannot withstand hurt. The deeper I like it, the more sand it can't be contained in my eyes."
He paused, "As early as Bai Yiyi came in, I knew that Lu Chong and I could not go back. The forbearance and compromise this month may be just a final farewell, and even if we were to leave, there must be a natural reason. Just so happened that Bai Yiyi took the initiative to create a reason for me."
Nan Si was silent for a moment, and did not comment on her last sentence, only saying, "What are the plans for the future?"
Gu Yan leaned quietly against the carriage and pondered for a moment: "Brother hasn't married yet, so I'm not worried about anyone's dislike. Let's spend time with my parents at home first, and then talk about it later."
"Sister Yan'er was one of the rare talented women in the imperial capital before." Nan Si raised her eyebrows, "If it weren't for falling in love with Lu Chong, she had chosen to marry and have children early, she would have become an official and become a female official."
The status of women in Dongling has been greatly improved for two consecutive times. In recent years, women have become officials in the court. However, due to the confinement of the past system and the deep-rooted concepts in the bones, there are still not many female officials who need to show up frequently, and most of them choose to stay in the yamen or the three provinces and six ministries to do some auxiliary positions.
There are two talented women in Wenyuan Pavilion who are responsible for compiling Donglan historical books.
"I am just a little girl with no ambitions. How can I have the ambition to be an official?" Gu Yan smiled lightly and reached out to touch his abdomen. "The only wish in the rest of his life is to raise this child safely and ask for nothing."
After a pause, Gu Yan raised his eyes to Nan Si: "The young man Liu'er likes looks very arrogant. I wonder whose son is from?"
Nan Si picked her lips: "Guess."
Gu Yan shook his head: "You have traveled all over the years, but where can I guess, a frog in the well?"
"Sister Yan'er is too arrogant." Nan Si smiled, "But that's true. Yan'er has never been out of the imperial capital even though she has grown up. Let's do this. When the child in Sister Yan'er's belly is born, I will take you out for a trip to play."
"Where are you going to have a child to go to the mountains and rivers?" Gu Yan shook his head, "I am suitable to stay at home peacefully and never go anywhere."
Nan Si looked at Gu Yan's stomach silently: "Is the child two months old?"
Gu Yan nodded.
Nan Simo calculated, "The child is only seven months old."
Gu Yan smiled lightly: "Yes."
"Yan'er." Nan Si smiled slightly, "Although you and Lu Chong are already separated, you may encounter trouble after the child in your stomach is born. The Lu family will not let their flesh and blood be left out. Even if Uncle Gu is the prime minister, people are terrifying. What should you make a decision then?"
When Gu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but feel silent.
She also thought of the problem Nan Si said. Besides, the Lu family and the Gu family are not far apart, and they are at the feet of the emperor. His father and Lord Lu are colleagues. In the future, they may be in trouble when the child is born.
With Mrs. Lu's temperament, she will definitely find ways to get the child back.
