Wang Miaoyin's voice sounded from outside the door, and after she changed into women's clothes, her graceful figure came in, bringing with it a fragrant breeze: "Sister Tingyun, what you said is so good. The daughter of our aristocratic family should have such integrity. .”
A smug smile flashed across Liu Tingyun's face, but it disappeared in a flash, and turned into an angry look. She turned her face sideways, without even looking at Wang Miaoyin, and sat angrily on the bed without saying a word.
Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly, sat in front of Liu Tingyun, and said softly: "Good sister, don't be like this, sister didn't know that things would turn out like this. But what Brother Liu said makes sense. Since the marriage has been decided, There is no turning back, this is our destiny."
Liu Tingyun sneered and said: "Fate? Then why don't you marry that Huan Jiang? Ah, yes, your Xie family wants to marry the Huan family, why do you want me, the daughter of the Liu family, to sacrifice?"
Liu Yu said coldly: "Your Majesty, you have served as Shangshu Ling in the court for many years. Whose care did you entrust to me? If Miaoyin hadn't already committed to me, I'm afraid it would be her who is going to get married this time." It is a good thing for both families that the Liu family and the Huan family can form a marriage. Miss Liu, didn't you agree immediately when you first heard the news? To put it bluntly, isn't that the reason? "
Liu Tingyun's face turned slightly red and she protested: "But you didn't tell me about Huan Jiang's situation at the beginning. This was deception. Now that I know the truth, can't I get married if I don't want to?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Miss Liu, if you really don't want to get married, at least you can't break off the engagement now. Stay here and don't go back. Anyway, this is an engagement. As long as you are in Shouchun, even if it is a marriage between two families, there will be no I feel so wronged, let’s wait until the battle is over.”
Liu Tingyun said bitterly: "No, as long as I stay here, I will be Huan Jiang's wife. Once this name is determined, there is no possibility of turning around. I will not be fooled by you."
Liu Yu sighed softly: "Miss Liu, I'm afraid you don't understand the situation. From the moment you left Jiankang City, the marriage has been decided. How can you regret it if you lose your temper and go home? "
Liu Tingyun's expression suddenly froze on her face. She finally realized her situation. The reality was so cruel. She collapsed on the bed and cried bitterly.
Wang Miaoyin sighed softly, stroking Liu Tingyun's dark cloud-like hair with her bare hands: "Good sister, don't be like this, the matter has reached this point and cannot be changed. Brother Liu was right just now. This kind of marriage is impossible in advance." If you know the situation of the other party, don’t talk about you, it’s the Holy One. Before marrying Wang Fahui, how did you know that she would be such a woman? Nine times out of ten, life is not what you want. This marriage has been decided. Now it can only be like this. Maybe in the future. There will be room for a twist.”
Liu Tingyun cried: "Everyone has already been married, how can we turn around?"
Liu Yu curled his lips and said: "After the battle, everything is possible. Marshal Xuan also said before he asked us to come here that I may have wronged you this time. If you are not willing, as long as you can fight back this time, The Qin army, Xie Xianggong and Huan Jishi should be able to find a way to get the best of both worlds. Besides, I don’t believe that Huan and Jiang, as a noble son of a noble family, are so unbearable. This time the Qin army presses the border, they will hit here sooner or later, Miss Liu You can see with your own eyes the performance of your future husband. If he is really the coward and good-for-nothing in the legend, you can also reject this marriage with confidence."
Liu Tingyun's eyes flashed with excitement: "Really? Liu Yu, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Marriage is a major event in life, how could I lie to you. Actually, Miss Liu, I sympathize with your situation. I joined the army to serve the country because I wanted to control my own life and not be manipulated by others. So your current situation, I feel the same way. It’s just that now we have to focus on the overall situation. If Huan and Jiang are really useless, you can also have legitimate reasons to refuse this marriage, but now, as the Huan family’s prospective daughter-in-law, you stay in Shouchun and live with the people in the city. Life or death, this is what a noble daughter of a noble family should do."
A trace of panic flashed in Liu Tingyun's eyes, and her voice trembled: "You, you said Shouchun is in danger and will be attacked by the Qin army soon?"
Liu Yu nodded and said seriously: "Yes, the Qin army is going south this time with a million troops. It is impossible to defend Huaibei. Once Huaibei falls, Shouchun will bear the brunt. I might as well tell you that this marriage , it is necessary for the Xie family and Governor Huan to work together, especially to make Governor Huan's soldiers and horses obey the command of Commander Xuan, and use Shouchun as bait to fight the enemy decisively. Now our army's food and grass have not been collected yet, and we need to buy time, so , To guard Shouchun is to guard the lifeblood of the Jin Dynasty."
Liu Tingyun gritted her teeth: "You mean, my life is in danger here, and even then I can't retreat?"
Wang Miaoyin picked up Liu Tingyun's hand and felt that her palm was full of sweat, but her skin was cold. She had known Liu Tingyun for many years and knew that this girl was really scared. She said softly: "Tingyun, don't be afraid, we are good." Sister, if you are here, I will be here too. With Brother Liu and Marshal Xuan’s thousands of troops protecting us, we will not listen to anything.”
Liu Tingyun sighed and shook her head: "Now that things have reached this point, what else can I say? That's all, it's up to you, I'll just stay here. Whether I live or die, it's all fate."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Actually, not only Commander Xuan, but also Huan Xuan, the eldest son of the Huan family in Jingzhou, led troops to come to aid this time and was stationed outside Shouchun City. Does Miss Liu know?"
Liu Tingyun's eyes widened suddenly. The unwillingness on her face disappeared immediately, and there was excitement in her voice: "What, Prince Huan? Prince Huan is here too?"
Liu Yu secretly sighed in his heart. He had felt that Liu Tingyun's affection for Huan Xuan was beyond words before, and this time it was confirmed. Maybe letting her marry Huan Xuan was the only thing she was willing to do, even though Liu Yu hated Huan Xuan very much. , but it seems that only he can give this woman happiness.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, but Prince Huan has his own considerations. His army is stationed outside the city. Miss Liu, this is not the time for children to love each other. If Shouchun is guarded, you may have met Prince Huan’s opportunity.”
Liu Tingyun nodded vigorously: "I understand, I won't cause trouble anymore, I won't make trouble anymore, Liu Yu, please tell Prince Huan to kill the thief well and behave well, just say it, just say Tingyun will never I will pray for him.”
Huan Xuan's cold voice sounded from outside the door: "Miss Liu, thank you for your kindness. Huan is very grateful."
Liu Yu's expression changed, and Liu Tingyun almost fainted with excitement. Her eyes were fixed on Huan Xuan, who was slowly walking in from the door, and she said in surprise: "I, I'm not dreaming, right? Is he really Prince Huan?"
The corners of Huan Xuan's mouth turned up slightly, and there was a trace of unspeakable sadness in his eyebrows. He sighed and said to the three people in the room: "Something happened. Mr. Huan Jiang Huan has passed away!"
