Su Yu tightened her clothes: "Is everything okay?"
Cui Ling: "As long as I can do it."
His tone was very determined, and even though he still had a sickly air about him, he still gave people the same feeling as before, like a majestic mountain, calm, heavy, and safe.
Su Yu believed what he said was true.
She finally plucked up the courage: "Cousin, I'll say it."
Cui Ling was not as calm and steady as he looked. His heartbeat was very fast and his breathing became heavier: "Yes."
When the tea was cold, Zitong came over to add more tea.
The sound of gurgling water was clear and sweet. At the same time, Su Yu's voice reached Cui Ling's ears word for word: "I hope my cousin can help me enter the eldest prince's mansion."
For a moment, the sound of water flow stopped and the sound of heartbeat stopped.
Cui Ling was stunned: "What?"
"I hope my cousin can help me enter the First Prince's Mansion."
Su Yu didn't notice his strangeness, she blushed and said shyly: "I like the eldest prince, but I also know that I am not worthy of him. It is difficult for me to enter the eldest prince's house, even as a concubine. So, I I hope my cousin can help me."
She moved very gently, grabbed Cui Ling's sleeve and shook it: "Cousin, is it okay?"
Cui Ling's teeth were almost broken as he squeezed out one word after another.
"...You said you like the eldest prince?"
'what about me? ' This sentence was swirling around my mouth, but in the end I didn't ask it.
Cui Ling's expression was extremely scary.
Su Yu nodded sheepishly and said in a low voice, "My cousin also thinks that I am overestimating my capabilities, right?"
No, no, that’s totally wrong!
Cui Ling's throat felt fishy and sweet. He closed his eyes hard and opened them: "The eldest prince is not a good person."
Su Yu was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "I know my cousin doesn't like him, but I think he is very good."
Cui Ling's expression was extremely ugly.
This scene is very similar to the rebellious daughter who fell in love with a yellow-haired gangster, which made the old father so angry that he vomited blood. The daughter is still defending the yellow-haired gangster.
The system shed tears of sympathy for the male protagonist.
Su Yu continued to light the fire: "The eldest prince is noble, handsome, and talented. Even if he is not as good as my cousin in some aspects, to me, he is the best. I only have this request, and I ask my cousin to fulfill it." .”
After saying that, she let go of Cui Ling's sleeves and knelt directly in front of him, looking like she had made up her mind.
Cui Ling couldn't tell whether the pain in his heart was due to the fact that his injuries were not fully healed or because he was angry with Su Yu.
Finally, he closed his eyes and asked, "Did you know that the assassin in Taolin that day was sent by the eldest prince."
Su Yu looked up in shock: "How could that happen?"
She was at a loss: "Cousin, is there any misunderstanding?"
She didn't hesitate at all, taking it for granted that there was something hidden in it, and defended the eldest prince.
Cui Ling felt that her breathing was astringent and took a deep breath:
"Do you believe me or him?"
Su Yu was at a loss: "But isn't the relationship between my cousin and the eldest prince very good?"
Cui Ling's voice was slightly cold, but he still said the same thing: "Do you believe me or him?"
"I……"
Su Yu lowered her head and remained silent.
Cui Ling didn't speak, and Zitong shrank aside and shivered.
The air became oppressive, and I didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Okay, good, Cui Ling understands.
Her silence was the answer.
Cui Ling asked her: "Why?"
"What?"
"Why do you like him?"
Just like that day in the Taolin, he asked Lin Jinse why he liked him.
He rejected Lin Jinse without mercy.
At this moment, when he finally realized what he liked, he was rejected mercilessly, and it was not even a rejection. He was being sentimental, but in the end he didn't even have time to express his feelings.
This is how karma should be.
Su Yu said sorry in her heart, then blushed and said in a thin voice: "I just like him. Is there any reason why? I liked the eldest prince from the first moment I saw him."
The system, which had heard the same words from the heroine, was silent for a long time.
...What a loss.
"The eldest prince has a noble status, a talented person, and a reputation as a virtuous person. I admired him when I was still at home. Unexpectedly, after seeing him in person, he was more approachable and considerate than I imagined."
Every time Su Yu said a word, she felt the gaze above her head getting stronger.
As if carrying a huge force, her head lowered lower and lower.
Su Yu's eyes were red uncontrollably, and her voice was crying: "I'm sorry, cousin, I know what I did was wrong. You can hit me or scold me, but I can't control this kind of thing. , Please help me this time for the sake of my helping you block the sword."
Cui Ling suppressed the sweetness in her throat and said word by word, "I told you, he is not a good person."
Su Yu leaned down and said, "Please help me this time, cousin."
I really can’t cry without seeing the coffin.
Cui Ling stood up and stared at the woman kneeling in front of him with an unclear expression.
Finally, he threw up his sleeves and left: "Except for this matter."
Su Yu raised her head in panic: "Cousin..."
In just a moment, the man's back disappeared into the courtyard. Su Yu chased him out, only seeing a hem of his clothes.
She held on to the door frame, her body trembling, and her tears fell silently, hitting her clothes and causing a water stain.
She bit her lip, broken sobs escaping from her throat.
Zitong was no less shocked than Cui Ling at this moment.
She endured her doubts and helped Su Yu back, with a worried look on her face: "Miss."
After enduring it, she finally asked: "Miss, don't you like the eldest young master?"
Su Yu paused while crying: "When did I say I liked my cousin?"
Zitong opened her eyes wide: "But you gave the eldest son a purse."
Su Yu suddenly became weak: "I...I'm just afraid that the eldest prince will not accept it. I will give it to my cousin first, and then I will have a reason to persuade the eldest prince to accept it."
Zitong was in disbelief: "So, the only person you wanted to send as a gift at first was the eldest prince?"
Su Yu also knew that what she did was unjust.
"No..." Su Yu was in a confused mood, "I gave the purse to thank the eldest prince for helping me lead the way. My cousin is with him, so I should naturally prepare it for my cousin."
It’s just that Cui Ling was the one who came by the way.
Zitong's expression now is similar to Baishan's at that time.
"Then why did you often go to the eldest son's yard to look for him?"
Su Yu became even weaker: "I heard that my cousin and His Highness have a very good relationship, so I thought...I thought about trying my luck in the past, maybe I can meet him."
Who knew that luck was so bad, I never encountered it even once.
Zitong silently added this sentence in her heart, still feeling incredible.
"Then you still block the sword for the eldest young master?"
Su Yu pursed her lips: "I was in a hurry. Besides, I saved my cousin, and the situation in the Cui Mansion will be much better in the future. When I am with His Highness, I may need the Cui Mansion's help. Otherwise, I can't do it on my own. How did you successfully enter the eldest prince's palace?"
I understand, trying to please the eldest young master is just for the sake of entering the eldest prince’s mansion more smoothly in the future.
Zitong was speechless for a moment.
Su Yu warned: "Zitong, I'm just telling you this. We grew up together. It was my mother who saved you and brought you back so that you could grow up safely. I regard you as my biological sister. You have to help me keep the secret."
Zitong looked dazed, as if her worldview had been shattered.
"But miss, does the eldest master know these things?"
Su Yu comforted her: "It doesn't matter. As long as you don't tell me and I don't tell you, my cousin won't know."
