"I still remember that I once said that I was wronged and would only cry silently to myself. At that time, you comforted me and gave me a handkerchief to wipe my tears. At that time, you were in my heart. I think you are a different person. Man, you are so gentle.
Later, I really married you as I wished. I thought my life would be perfect. Having a husband who loves me so tenderly was such a great joy. I didn’t expect that this would actually become a huge tragedy. joke! "
Chu Yan looked at Gu Xiao's back with longing eyes. They were once such a loving couple. They had so much love, how could they become so indifferent?
"I am nothing like the wife you imagined. You must have discovered this, so you are so cold to me. But can you really guarantee that the friendship between us is all fake?"
Chu Yan can only place her hopes on the six months they have been together as husband and wife. Can these feelings be let go just by letting them go?
But he still didn't get an answer from Gu Xiao. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared from the other person's eyes and there would never be a response.
"Earlier, I mistakenly thought that you had broken up with Chu Shu Ou. I didn't even expect that you were in love with someone else. It's like I became a joke."
Chu Yan knew that her trip would be in vain again. That Lian'er would always exist between her and Gu Xiao. The loving days in the past would never go back, and there was another woman between them.
"I will definitely keep Lian'er by my side. She has nowhere to go. I have told you about her life experience, so I will treat her as if you pity her and let her stay with me."
Gu Xiao suddenly turned around and looked at Chu Yan with cold eyes, and the words that came out of her mouth were also cold.
Yes, he must keep Lian'er by his side, not only because Lian'er has nowhere to go, but because Lian'er won't lie to him.
"good…"
Chu Yan probably didn't expect that she would agree so simply. Maybe she could really see that there was no place for her in Gu Xiao's eyes.
That look was really cold, so cold that it made people feel chilling.
"At that time, I thought you were just trying to piss me off, but I didn't expect that after a few days, you still gave the same answer. Since you like Lian'er, then keep her by your side!"
Chu Yan smiled and nodded, but she did feel so bitter when she smiled.
Gu Xiao still didn't speak anymore. Really not loving someone doesn't mean yelling and making a fuss. On the contrary, the other person's existence is no longer in his eyes. There really is no existence at all. He doesn't have the strength to speak or refute.
"I couldn't stop my husband from taking a concubine, so I agreed."
Chu Yan shook her head mockingly again, this time she was completely disappointed.
I don't know how much face I have put down during this period. I came here again and again and prayed again and again, but what I brought was disappointment again and again.
People are always tired. She is a princess after all. How can she really put her own face under her feet? That's enough.
Isn't it just to take a concubine? It's not a big deal, it's just to have one more woman in the house!
Chu Yan didn't know how she got back to her house. She felt that the people in the house looked at her with more sympathy when she went out.
In fact, what is there to sympathize with?
After all, she is His Majesty's biological sister, and no matter how bad she is, she still holds the position of young lady. Wearing gold, silver, brocade, and jade is not a problem at all. She will still live well and nourish herself.
On the other hand, if Lian'er couldn't stay with Gu Xiao, he would have no place to go if he kicked them out, or he would have no choice but to go to Wanhua Tower and be trampled on like dirt on the ground!
Forget it, just think of it as pity for Lian'er. It's not a big deal at all. At most, it just feels a little bit uncomfortable.
In fact, if you think about it, you didn't plan to be a couple for the rest of your life from the beginning. Slowly, there will always be a few more women added to the mix.
Maybe Lian'er is just the first one, and there will be more in the future. Maybe in the future, I will really get used to it?
Chu Yan kept persuading herself like this, she had to live her life anyway, shedding tears all day long, her eyes were crying so hard that she couldn't see clearly, it was of no use at all!
If the relationship fades away, let it fade away. She should accept her fate. Maybe she really doesn't deserve happiness. God just allowed herself to briefly enjoy the taste of husband and wife's love, and then take it back after enjoying it.
That night, Lian'er wore a pink dress and came to greet her as my concubine.
"What are you doing here at this time? Are you here to show off to me?"
Chu Yan sat above her and glanced at her from a high position. It wasn't like she couldn't tell what was going on in this woman's mind. She just regarded Gu Xiao as the last straw and held on tightly.
"I'm sorry, Madam. It's my presence that makes Madam sad. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Lian'er lowered her head and said sorry several times over the year. In fact, she really felt sorry and knew how much harm she had caused to the young lady.
But there was really no other way. She didn't dare to gamble on her future fate. If she was really kicked out, she might have no choice but to return to Wanhua Tower. She didn't want to, she really didn't want to.
"You don't have to pretend to apologize in front of me. Since you know how annoying your existence is, why don't you leave secretly?"
Chu Yan sarcastically said, if this Lian'er really knew how guilty he was, he would have known that he had left secretly, but wouldn't he still be shameless enough to stay in the house and by Gu Xiao's side?
"Young Madam," Lian'er immediately knelt heavily on the ground with tears in her eyes.
"Young Madam knows my life experience, and also knows that I have nowhere to go if I leave this place. If I want to go, I can only go back to Wanhua Tower. But I really don't want to do it anymore. Just treat Young Madam as pitiful for me! "
Lian'er couldn't help but choked up. She was already desperate and helpless after being sold to that place by her own family. After finally being rescued by a young master, she no longer wanted to send him back.
Not to mention that I can still stay with this young master and have a status, as long as I can have a place to stay.
She also knew that her existence had brought a great blow to the young madam, but the first thing she thought about was herself. She just wanted to stay in the house, and she would never dare to argue with the young madam in the future.
"The matter has come to this. I have promised to let you stay in the palace, so I will not drive you away. After all, in addition to my position as young lady, I am also your Majesty's sister. I can still return to the palace and be a princess. But you can only go to Wanhua Tower and become the most despicable person!"
Chu Yan smiled lightly and spoke in a gentle tone, but the words she said were so hurtful.
She's just a bitch!
Lian'er could only bear these humiliations silently, knowing that this was what she should bear, and it would be better to let the young lady vent her anger.
In fact, these words are all correct. It is precisely because I have no way out that I can only cling to the last life-saving straw.
"you shut up!"
The door suddenly opened, and Gu Xiao came in.
Chu Yan was stunned for a while, but after seeing the disgusted eyes of the other party, her heart ached silently, and then looked away. She said she would never cry because of these things again.
Already agreeing to let this woman stay is already very good. Do you really want to get along with her like good sisters?
How can this be?
"It's okay, Master. It's really okay. Madam is just too angry. Just let her vent!"
Lian'er quickly shook her head, not wanting to make the matter more serious.
Originally, I just wanted the young lady to vent her anger. If the young master comes to reprimand her again, I am afraid it will only make the young lady more and more angry, and her future life will be even more difficult.
"I didn't know that such ugly words would come out of your mouth, or that you are the kind of person you are and it's normal for you to say these words."
Gu Xiao made a few sarcastic remarks, then personally helped Lian'er up, grabbed her hand and pulled her to her side.
"Yes, I am this kind of person, do you know?"
Chu Yan took a deep breath. It was really dazzling to see Gu Xiao protecting Chu Yan by her side so nervously.
Gu Xiao who used to feel extremely distressed when she saw her crying, Gu Xiao who would chat with her, and play the piano and draw with her, it seems that they are really gone.
Gu Xiao took Lian'er away directly. Looking at the backs of the two of them, Chu Yan suddenly smiled.
"Fangye, do you think this is my retribution? I deliberately put on a show and snatched Gu Xiao away from others. Unexpectedly, someone finally snatched him away today. It's really a turn of events. Turn!"
Chu Yan cried and laughed. At that time, she was proudly showing off in front of Chu Shu, showing off that she got such a good man. At that time, Chu Shu was obviously very angry.
But then Chu Shu suddenly stopped caring. No matter what she said or provoked, she didn't care.
On the contrary, now that I have become like this, my heart feels like a thousand needles have suddenly been stabbed, tingling one after another.
"Young Madam, you should cheer up first. No matter what, you are still Young Madam. Lian'er is just a concubine. From now on, she will still serve tea and water respectfully in front of you. She is just pretending to be weak. It’s just acting, there is always a chance to deal with her!”
Futaba comforted her heartache, in fact, this is not a big deal at all. Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? As the wife of the wife, she should have been prepared for this.
What's more, a helpless Lian'er is really easy to deal with and is not worthy of being looked down upon at all.
"I know, even if I am His Majesty's sister, I am not qualified to ask my husband to have only one woman. I am indeed prepared for there to be other women, but I am still a little unwilling to do so!"
Chu Yan covered her chest, slowly feeling calmer, and looked at the place where Lian'er had stood just now.
In fact, this woman Lian'er really has many similarities with herself. They are both so soft and love to cry, and their eyes are red when they cry.
"Young Madam, please don't get angry over this kind of thing. That Lian'er has made it clear that he is interested in acting. Young Madam must not fall into her trap in the future. You must show your own style as Young Madam!"
Futaba looked worried, but in the end it wasn't a big problem. After all, Lian'er had no one to rely on, and she would start to feel scared after taking care of him a few more times.
"I see."
Chu Yan nodded, acquiescing to these words.
When I lived in the palace, it wasn't like I didn't know about the overt and secret fights in the harem. Now it's the same for me after all, but it's actually easier.
The worst-case scenario is to add a few more women to the house in the future. Gu Xiao's eyes are not on Lian'er, so doesn't she accept that she will take care of it herself?
