The Duke's Mansion became more and more deserted, Gu Ruoyuan also got married, but Chu Yan and Gu Xiao were still a couple.
Gu Xiao still avoided Chu Yan, and when she came back, she only let Lian'er stay with her, and ignored everything.
I used to be able to talk to my sister for a few words, but now that my sister is married, I feel that I can't stay any longer.
If Lian'er wasn't there for comfort, he wouldn't even want to go back home every day.
The more Chu Yan did the opposite and the more Gu Xiao ignored her, the more she wanted to expose something, and the best way was to torture Lian'er.
Anyway, she is the royal wife, so she has many reasons for torturing Lian'er, and no one can say anything about it.
She had been recovering for a long time after her hand was broken last time. She felt the pain in her hand and her heart slowly became cold.
If you want pain, why should you feel it alone? If you want everyone to feel pain, if you want pain, you can't just feel pain alone. You have to let everyone suffer with you!
She felt that she was just too sensible and tolerant. She was like this when she was in the palace. She didn't want to give in anymore. She just wanted to go crazy and make everyone unhappy!
Every time Gu Xiao comes back, he always has Lian'er by his side. However, the wife he is marrying seems to have been thrown into the cold palace and forgotten. Sometimes when he looks at his deserted yard, he always feels that the days have passed. It's still the same as before.
I just remember that I had a good relationship with Gu Xiao when we first got married. It seemed like it was really good. Every day I fell asleep with joy and woke up with anticipation.
I would recite poems and paint with Gu Xiao, play chess and drink tea together, and do all the happy things, but why is it like this now.
Do you feel as if you have never had this husband? Do you feel that everything in the past was just a dream?
"Ma'am, please give in first and stop making trouble."
Futaba persuaded her carefully. Even she felt that her master had gone too far and made too much trouble. This would only make the relationship with the young master worse and worse.
"You also think I'm messing around!"
Chu Yan frowned and glared at Shuangye, but she didn't expect that the person who was serving her would say such things. Last time Chu Shu came to persuade her, just forget it, she wouldn't listen at all.
I didn't expect that the people around me would also dare to criticize myself!
"Young madam, I really do this for your own good. I just want to make you happy. If the trouble continues like this, I will feel uncomfortable. It will only make your relationship worse and worse!"
Futaba was determined to say everything she said today, but she really couldn't bear to see her master like this.
"What's more, this is not just a matter in the palace, it has already been made in the palace. The last time Princess Shu came here was because of the Queen Mother's wishes. If the trouble is more serious, you will be punished by the Queen Mother!"
Futaba knelt on the ground and persuaded her earnestly, even if it wasn't to reconcile with the young master, it was just to make her life happier.
At the very least, no more unpleasant things should be spread out, let alone in the palace.
"The Queen Mother?" Chu Yan smiled disdainfully, "The Queen Mother's daughter is not me. She would never have favored me. When my mother died of illness a few days ago, she was just buried hastily. The Queen Mother has no feelings for me. , naturally you won’t really feel sorry for me, I just hope that I can bear to shut up and don’t lose the royal family’s face!”
Chu Yan smiled and cried, because thinking of those memories in the palace, she was really unhappy and sour.
Every time Chu Yi was bullied and wronged, the Queen Mother clearly saw it, but she still ignored it and only favored her daughter.
Doesn't anyone feel that she is unhappy here? Doesn't anyone come to ask her what kind of life she is living every day? She will be suffocated to death if she stays alone in the yard every day!
Especially because her husband ignored her and only kept Lian'er by his side, treating his wife as if she was dead!
But the Queen Mother just wanted her to shut up and let her live her own life. Even if she pretended to be affectionate, she must not spread any scandal and must protect the royal family's face.
Ridiculous, really ridiculous.
Speaking of the royal family's face, Chu Yi had done so many things that were detrimental to the royal family's face, but why didn't she take care of it? Chu Yi was so arrogant and domineering, but he didn't have any rules at all!
"Young Madam, Aunt Cui from the palace is here."
The servants rushed in to report in a panic.
"Aunt Cui?"
Chu Yan calmed down her expression. Aunt Cui was someone close to the Queen Mother. She came here this time, presumably to persuade her again.
"I've met the young lady."
Aunt Cui nodded lightly as soon as she came in, with a cold face. She just came here for a visit as ordered by the Queen Mother.
"This servant is here to deliver a message for the Queen Mother. Please kneel down and listen, Madam!"
Aunt Cui's tone was cold. It was obvious that these words were not good words, but mostly words of reprimand.
Chu Yan took a deep breath and knelt on the ground, followed by Shuangye kneeling behind her.
"As a princess, after getting married, you can't treat your husband's concubines well. It's really shameful for them to do such a scandal and spread it to the palace! If such a scandal is reported again in the future, I will be punished with twenty canes, and every time it is reported! "
It was obvious that the Queen Mother was tired of Chu Yan's affairs and had no patience, so she directly asked Aunt Cui to come over and lecture her.
After Cui Gu said this, she managed to squeeze out a smile. She just came here to say these words on the order of the Queen Mother. It was Princess Yan's own decision whether to listen or not.
"yes."
Chu Yanzhi remembered taking a deep breath and biting her lip until it bled when she looked at Aunt Cui's leaving figure.
Okay, it is indeed very good. It turns out that for the sake of face, I can do this. I have to force myself to surrender, I have to force myself to be trapped in this place, and I have to face it with a smile and happily. Is there anything more torturous than this!
"Young lady, please get up first."
Shuangye helped Chu Yan get up. In fact, she should also feel that the Queen Mother did not have much patience. After all, the matter of the young lady embarrassing the young master's concubine Lian'er had already been spread and made a fuss.
As long as something is spread out, the words will become more and more unpleasant, let alone if it reaches the palace, the words will only become more harsh and mean.
Therefore, the Queen Mother can only use this method to make the young lady quiet and stop causing so many troubles.
"Futaba, I always feel that my life seems to end at a glance. There has never been a happy time. No, there was a very happy time, but it was really too short. I haven't fully enjoyed the short time. Gone."
Chu Yan suddenly cried and laughed again, and suddenly felt that her heart was slowly dying.
If the mother were alive now, she could go to the palace to see her and cry heartily in front of her.
Her mother died of illness half a month ago. She no longer has a family member. She can only stay in the house every day, feeling her resentment that will never dissipate.
"It's okay, young madam, just take your heart back and live your own life. Just let the young master do whatever he wants!"
Maple Leaf could only comfort her like this. It was impossible for them to reconcile. Since reconciliation couldn't happen, then don't force it.
Chu Yan didn't nod or shake her head. She didn't know what it meant. She only knew that her eyes were still as red as before when she cried, and she would shed tears one after another.
I feel as if I should not have been born, should not have come to this world, and it seems that there will always be more painful times than happy times.
Boring, really boring.
"Young Madam, just listen to my slave, don't embarrass Lian'er anymore, don't spread any bad influence anymore, just let things settle down slowly."
Futaba's tone was already choked with sobs. She really felt sorry for Chu Yan after being by her side for so long.
When she was newly married, she knew it was the happiest time for her, so she had such a big reaction to the current situation. Because there was such a good contrast, she couldn't accept the deserted situation now.
But things are already like this. No matter how hard you try, things will get worse and worse. The Queen Mother has already asked Aunt Cui to come over and send a message, making it clear that she doesn't want this matter to get worse, and she definitely doesn't want to hear it again. Any rumors spread.
Whether it was for her own good or to obey the Queen Mother's orders, Chu Yan really shouldn't make trouble anymore.
"Aunt Cui came here just now. I saw her face was cold, and I thought there was nothing good going on."
In the study, Lian'er stood aside grinding ink, with a worried look on her face. She knew that things in the house were making a fuss, and she also knew how unpleasant the talk outside was.
In fact, she was very guilty and had always been guilty.
Gu Xiao was still writing his own words and ignored it. He knew why the palace sent people here. It was simply because Chu Yan had gone too far.
But what does it have to do with myself?
She asked herself that she had never treated Chu Yan badly, and that her food and clothing expenses had never been poor. Many times, she even asked Lian'er to pay more attention and not to offend her again.
It was Chu Yan who wanted to hold on to these things, she had to reveal so much right and wrong, and she had to make the whole city a storm before she would give up. The news reached the palace before the Queen Mother sent someone. That's all, as long as it can be done It would be better if she just calms down.
"Master, why don't you go and see her?"
Lian'er whispered, actually she could feel that the young lady was just too insecure, that's why she did so many things, she just wanted the young master's attention to return to her.
It's just that the young lady used the wrong method, so the relationship got worse and worse, and it became like this.
"She and I have nothing to say for a long time. You don't need to persuade me. I don't want to say a word or meet her again."
Gu Xiao's tone was very cold. She didn't want to see Chu Yan again or say another word.
Others thought that he was an extremely gentle person, and perhaps even he himself had not noticed that if he felt that his heart had been deceived, he would become extremely cold and heartless.
He could watch coldly as Chu Yan, whom he once liked so much, became like this, and remain indifferent. He really didn't have a single thought, and even felt bored.
Maybe they had a wrong fate from the beginning, but he wouldn't do anything to Chu Yan. All the food and clothing expenses were the best, and he would never treat her badly.
But that's all. Nothing else can be given.
