Wrong Marriage: The CEO's Sweet Bride

The old man raised his hand and applauded.

"Smart little girl, my grandson is lucky to marry you."

Hearing that the other party finally admitted his identity, Qin Shu relaxed a little, and the corners of his lips unconsciously raised a curve, "You..."

Just as she was about to speak, the old man stopped applauding, and changed the subject and said, "But there is one thing, you said it wrong."

"Huh?" Qin Shu looked at him curiously.

He raised his hand and took off the bronze mask.

A nearly disfigured face was revealed in front of Qin Shu.

"How could this happen?!" Qin Shu couldn't help but whispered.

The uneven scars covered his face, except for the eyes, the other facial features were almost invisible.

It's shocking!

Qin Shu's reaction seemed to be expected by Chu Lixiao. He didn't mind, but jokingly said, "Look at me, how similar is my grandson?"

Qin Shu opened his mouth and said hesitantly: "...Grandpa, how did your face become like this?"

If it wasn't for the extremely serious injury, it would not have become like this.

"It's a long story, and it's all old things."

Chu Lixiao shook his head, ready to put the mask back on, but Qin Shu boldly stretched out his hand to stop him.

She said kindly: "Let's listen to it, and I'll take a look by the way. Can it help you restore your appearance?"

Chu Lixiao broke away from her hand, and said nonchalantly: "I'm already a half-buried person. I don't value my face as much as Elizabeth. It's just a face. If you destroy it, you will destroy it."

Qin Shu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but have a guess, "Your face... couldn't have been made like this by yourself, right?"

Chu Lixiao paused just as he was about to put on the mask.

Qin Shu: "Am I right?"

Stared at by her scorching eyes, Chu Lixiao finally put down the mask and sighed, "It's okay to tell you—yes, I made it myself, and there is no special reason for doing this, I just don't want to be entangled by Elizabeth .”

He said it casually, but Qin Shu knew how much courage it takes for ordinary people to destroy their appearance, and it must be very painful to make it like this.

She couldn't help admiring, "Grandpa, you must have been a handsome man with outstanding demeanor back then, so Elizabeth misses you so much."

"That woman is obsessed only because she can't get it." When Chu Lixiao talked about Elizabeth, he did not hide the chill in his tone.

Qin Shu looked at him thoughtfully.

"Girl, you must have a lot of doubts in your heart. If you want to know something, just ask." Chu Lixiao's tone softened.

He thought to himself and said: "Although I have been on the island these years, I have also been paying attention to everything about the Chu family, A Rong, Xiaoxu, Xiaozhou, Weilu, Yunxi, Linchen, and you and Weiwei... …we are Family."

Qin Shu looked at the look of nostalgia in his vicissitudes of life, and he was sure, "Okay, then I will ask directly."

"Why are you here?" She directly asked the question she was most concerned about.

Chu Lixiao was startled for a moment, then said slowly: "Well...it starts with the construction of the dark mausoleum. Since you have already entered the dark mausoleum, you must also know who is buried."

Qin Shu subconsciously replied, "It's the Madam."

"Yes."

"The lady of the country is from the Youlan clan, so Gong Shouze wanted to keep this secret. But after Gong Shouze's death, the body of the lady of the country has been sent back to Xiheng Mountain and buried with him."

This matter was carried out secretly at the time. Qin Shu guessed that the old man might not know about it, so he took the initiative to reveal it.

Chu Lixiao really showed a hint of surprise, but quickly calmed down, "This is considered complete for him."

Qin Shu thought for a while, "Grandpa, I've always been curious. The Chu family doesn't seem to have too much connection with the royal family. Why did you agree to help Gong Shouze?"

Hearing the word "Grandpa" that Qin Shu naturally called out, Chu Lixiao smiled, "Of course I have nothing to do with Gong Shouze. The reason why I agreed to help this is entirely because of that woman named Si Qingyao."

Si Qingyao?

This is a completely unfamiliar name, Qin Shu asked a little confused: "Is she your confidante?"

"soulmate?"

Chu Lixiao seemed to be surprised when he heard something, with a strange expression on his face.

Qin Shu quickly explained: "This is because Grandma Chu said before that you built the dark mausoleum to be buried with the woman you loved, and when you built the dark mausoleum, you did bring back a woman..."

After finishing speaking, carefully observe Chu Lixiao's reaction.

But he saw a hint of surprise on Chu Lixiao's face, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, that is Si Qingyao, but the relationship between me and her is not the kind of relationship between a man and a woman... It's just that in order to leave back then, I had to make it up to Ah Rong. It’s a lie, I just hope she can forget about me.”

Qin Shu smiled, and said casually: "Grandma is a person who cares about feelings, she must always remember you in her heart."

Chu Lixiao just shook his head and sighed: "I'm sorry for her."

Then, it fell into silence.

Qin Shu saw that his mood suddenly became depressed, so he consciously stopped talking about it.

She changed her tone and returned to the previous topic, "Grandpa, let's continue talking about how you helped Si Qingyao build the dark tomb."

"Okay." Chu Lixiao nodded, and his mood quickly returned to normal.

He suddenly asked: "You know the grievances between the Chu and Han families, right?"

Qin Shu was slightly stunned, and some memories flashed through his mind, "The Han family? You mean Han Moyang, Han Xiao and Han Meng?"

Chu Lixiao shook his head, "These are all descendants of the Han family and have nothing to do with me. Back then, the Chu and Han families were fighting for a place in Haicheng, and their head, Han Laogou, and I were fighting to the death..."

Speaking of that year, Chu Lixiao still had a flash of sharpness in his eyes, "I was too young and energetic back then, and I was almost killed by Han Laogou's tricks, and I happened to be saved by Si Qingyao, but we didn't have much contact with each other. It wasn't until one day that she suddenly asked me to help bury one of her fellow clansmen that I didn't know she was from the Youlan clan."

So Si Qingyao was the woman who appeared in front of Gong Shouze and took away the body of the princess' wife.

That's right...

Qin Shu's eyes lit up, he looked at Chu Lixiao again, and asked curiously: "Then did you know at the time that the person she asked you to help bury was the lady of the country?"

"I didn't know it originally, but...sometimes, people's curiosity is always too strong, and they inevitably have to pay some price in the end."

Hearing this, Qin Shu couldn't help but guess, "In order to confirm the identity of the king's wife, you checked her body and was infected by the blood salamander... Is that so?"
