You break off my engagement and I dig your ancestral graves

The three of them looked at each other again, feeling even more ashamed. Now they were no longer human inside and out.

"How about forgetting it..." Zhuyu thought for a while and suggested: "Foolish people are lucky. Maybe our princess will have an unexpected surprise?"

Aunt Su and Lian Li immediately agreed, thinking this was the best way.

Looking at the backs of the two of them walking away in a hurry, Zhuyu smacked her tongue, "Actually... you can continue to make suggestions... There is no need to just agree like this."

At the same time, the Jingnan County Prince's Mansion.

There was a bright light under the glazed tiles, and in the deserted night, maids and servants would pass by carrying lanterns from time to time.

The atmosphere in a small courtyard that was quiet and smelled of incense was serious and breathless.

In the dim candlelight, Chu Su rubbed her knees, endured the discomfort, and cautiously raised her head to glance at the person sitting on the soft couch, then lowered her head at lightning speed.

"Grandma... why don't we let my little sister get up first!" Chu Luo, who was sitting next to Princess Chu, said softly: "It's cold at night, and my little sister has been kneeling for several hours."

The old man who had been keeping his eyes closed slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were majestic and terrifying, "You don't look like a lady at all. Shouldn't you be punished for running outside every day?"

"You are so brave to hang out with that Cui Yingying."

She patted the table next to her hard, making Chu Su tremble in fear.

Chu Su frowned. She really didn't like this grandmother. She retorted unconvinced, "Grandma has never met Yingying, so she just listened to other people's one-sided words and said bad words to her. What's the point?"

"Tongtong, don't be so presumptuous, how can you talk to your grandmother like this?" Chu Luo scolded her sternly.

Chu Su was so angry that he stopped pretending and stood up in a hurry, "What's wrong with me just talking like this? Grandma clearly doesn't like me, so why bother pretending? It was because you didn't like your granddaughter that you My granddaughter was sent away. Now that she is old enough to get married, you have sent word to bring her back. Don’t you just want to use my marriage to make friends with others?"

"My granddaughter is incompetent and unworthy of the eldest son of the Cui Wei family. This marriage could not be consummated, so you put your grievances on your granddaughter. You and I are also displeased with you, so you might as well let me continue to stay at the border." .”

"Presumptuous!" Old Princess Chu slapped the table and stood up, "Who taught you to contradict your elders?"

"Tongtong." Chu Luo was also frightened. How could her sister, who had been so docile since returning home...

Chu Su sneered, "I won't kneel down today. Grandma, please take your time and play by yourself! I won't serve you anymore."

After saying that, she walked away.

The old Princess Chu had always been a stickler in the Chu family. When had she ever been treated like this, she immediately pointed at her and said angrily: "Stop her, arrest her, and throw her into the woodshed to reflect."

"Let's see who dares!" Chu Su took two steps back, turned around and pulled out the soft sword from her waist.

Chu Luo was so anxious that he stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "Little sister..."

"Brother, it's your business if you are willing to submit to the situation. I don't want to." Chu Su glared at her. She had suffered so many grievances after coming to Yecheng and learned so many rules. Nowadays, marriage is regarded as a bargaining chip, and even making friends has to be dictated.

"Little sister..." Chu Luo's eyes were filled with distress as he tried to persuade her.

But before he could speak, the huge noise frightened the servants and woke up King Jingnan and Princess Jingnan who had fallen asleep.

The couple hurried over wearing a coat. When Princess Jingnan saw this scene, her face instantly turned pale with fright. She stepped forward and hugged her, "Tongtong, what are you doing?"

"Mother?" King Jingnan frowned, impatient to be woken up.

Seeing her mother like this, Chu Su burst into tears immediately, pushed her away and knelt down with a plop, "Father, mother, my daughter is unfilial. She can't be a lady of this Yecheng family, and she can't satisfy her grandmother. You two Let your daughter go back to the border!"

"Tongtong, you are killing your mother!" Princess Jingnan looked at her daughter with tears streaming down her face. The mother was heartbroken, and she stretched out her arms to hold her daughter in her arms.

"Okay!" Old Princess Chu said with a straight face: "There are no rules and regulations, how can it be decent? It's because you are so pampered that she becomes so unreasonable. Now you are still drawing a sword against me. This She is the good daughter you taught her."

"Why should grandma put the blame on mother?" Chu Su looked at her coldly, "This matter is my fault alone, what does it have to do with mother and father?"

"Such a treasonous act, like mother, like daughter." Old Princess Chu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She stepped forward and pointed at her viciously and cursed.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present became restless, even Chu Luo's eyes widened.

He had been raised by his grandmother since he was a child. Although he didn't know why, he upheld his filial piety and accepted it. Whenever he wanted to get close to his mother, he would be scolded by his grandmother.

Now my grandmother's words undoubtedly denied my mother and them.

King Jingnan next to him also calmed down. He stepped forward and stopped in front of his wife and daughter. He was angry with his biological mother for the first time, "If it hadn't been for today, my son would not have known that his mother had always been dissatisfied with Mingyan."

"You..." Old Princess Chu realized that she had said something wrong, but she showed no sign of waking up. Instead, she used filial piety to oppress King Jingnan, "You are so brave, are you blaming your mother?"

"Old Princess..." The nanny next to her shook her head, not wanting to make the relationship too stiff.

"My son doesn't dare," King Jingnan said with a straight face, "But if my mother wants to embarrass Tongtong again, my son will never give in. From now on, my mother will not have to worry about Tongtong's marriage. Her mother is already old, and she will not give in." It’s time to enjoy your retirement.”

"Luo'er, send your mother and sister down to rest." King Jingnan said domineeringly.

Chu Luo cupped her hands towards her father, no longer hesitated, and helped her sister and mother out of here.

Suddenly, only mother and son were left confronting each other in the room. King Jingnan's eyes were full of disbelief and sadness, "My mother said that Tongtong was a horoscope for you, and my son sent Tongtong away out of filial piety. You said that Mingyan was from a humble background. You can't teach the eldest son of King Jingnan well, and your son also obeys you, but I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still so dissatisfied."

"So what? Isn't what I said right? You should have listened from the beginning..." The old princess was very excited.

King Jingnan no longer gave her any chance to continue and interrupted her angrily, "That's enough. It's late at night. Mother has a good rest. My son has resigned."

The old princess, who had been disobeyed for the first time, chased him angrily and wailed at his back, "You are my son! You have disobeyed me again and again for this woman, do you still think of me as a mother in your eyes?" "

King Jingnan walked very fast and did not listen at all. Instead, he ordered to the attendants around him: "From now on, the old princess can have her three meals a day delivered to her. There is no need to go out to eat. Miss and young master , there is no need to come here to say hello."

He had made his wife suffer for so many years, it was enough.

One quiet night, the inner residence of King Jingnan underwent earth-shaking changes.

Chu Su also didn't expect that her father would argue with her grandmother because of them. When she was sent to the boudoir, her mother stayed and slept with her.

"Mom...am I too reckless?" Chu Su lowered his head and spoke hesitantly, fearing that he would cause trouble to his mother again.

Her mother and father loved her very much, and so did her brother, but her grandmother was the only one who never wanted to see her.

Mrs. Chu smiled softly and stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on her daughter's face, "This is not your fault, and your grandmother is not targeting you. She is just... she is older. It is your mother's fault that you give her more. Let Tongtong go home and suffer so many grievances.”

"Mom... it's not your fault," Chu Su said with a wrinkled face, "It's clearly my grandmother..."

"Tongtong, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. Mom and your father will handle today's matters." Mrs. Chu seemed to not want to mention this topic too much. She touched her face with a gentle smile, stood up and left. .

Chu Su sat on the bed and felt depressed. She really couldn't understand why her grandmother didn't like her mother, but her mother respected her so much.

When Mrs. Chu came out of her daughter's boudoir, she saw her husband standing under the moonlight, waiting for her. Just like before, all the grievances in her heart were worth mentioning at this moment. She tried her best to smile and walked towards him.

"Go back to your room!" Jingnan asked her and extended his hand.

Mrs. Chu smiled shyly and handed her hand to him, still nagging, "My mother is also doing it for Tongtong's good. She hopes that Tongtong can marry into a good family. Her husband should not get angry with his mother."

"You have suffered all these years..." King Jingnan held her hand tightly and said in a deep voice.

Mrs. Chu smiled and lowered her head, "I'm not suffering. I'm willing to do it. I'm just suffering for two children."

"Such things will never happen again in the future," Jingnan Dynasty promised her. "I am your husband and your supporter. I should protect you from wind and rain. Don't bear it alone."

The shadows of the trees were dancing, the sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant, and the figure stretched by the moonlight was very warm. Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "Okay."

This is the husband she chose when she was young. It has been a long journey, but she has never regretted it.

He understands her difficulty, and she understands his dilemma.

……

Early the next morning, Cui Yingying got out of the bed, washed and changed her clothes, had breakfast, and then went to the Prince's Mansion with the small bag Zhuyu had prepared for her.

Zhuyu spoke earnestly, as if she were raising a child, "Princess, please be careful and don't do anything wrong to Your Highness or His Majesty."

"I understand." Cui Yingying nodded obediently.

Her most important task today is to quickly defraud the deed of betrayal from Xiao Su, and then transfer it to Wu Xu. Only in this way can the task be completed.

When she arrived at the Prince's Mansion in a carriage, she murmured a few words to Wang Er, then walked to the gate of the Prince's Mansion with her skirt in hand. Just as she was about to speak, everyone outside seemed to have been told to just take it with her. She went in.

Wang Er, on the other hand, whipped up his horse and headed in the direction he wanted to stop.

"Your Highness has told you that if the princess comes, just come in directly." The servant who led the way opened his mouth to clear her doubts.

Cui Yingying nodded and followed him obediently.

In the study room, Wu Xu and Xiao Su had been discussing the current affairs of the government here early.

Now as a retainer of the Prince's Mansion, he naturally has to make suggestions for the Prince, and is exposed to more things.

Until Tang Yang came to report, Wu Xu looked up from a pile of official duties, with an intriguing smile on his lips, and he suggested: "How about changing to another place?"

So as not to disturb your enjoyment.

"She's here to find you, why are you leaving?" Xiao Su said without raising his head, as if he didn't care about the matter at all.

Wu Xu laughed out loud, "But I feel that if His Highness teaches the princess, the effect will be better. In terms of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, I am not as good as Your Highness."

I don’t know who it was, but after coming back last night, I started looking for books and calligraphy practice books for Princess Chao Xi, all basic things.

Pretending not to care now is really a headache.

His words were pun-intended, but they also saved face for Xiao Su, the crown prince.

Xiao Su glanced at him coldly, seeming to acquiesce.

As soon as Wu Xu left, Cui Yingying was brought to the study.

Tang Yang smiled like a flower when he saw her.

"Tang Yang, did you pick up money today?" Cui Yingying was curious. Are you planning to show off to her?

Tang Yang rolled his eyes, "No."

"Then you are smiling so happily? Do you have any good news to share with me?" Cui Yingying's eyes lit up.

"No!" Tang Yang gritted his teeth.

Something is wrong.

Cui Yingying snorted angrily, are you so happy at work?

Your brain is not normal.

"His Royal Highness," she walked in with a smile, looked at the people sitting at the desk, then looked around and asked, "Where's the Wu Xu people?"

"Didn't you ask me to study?"

Xiao Su raised his head and looked at her, "Isn't Gu not as good at teaching as him?"

Cui Yingying scratched her head in embarrassment and walked over. She sat cross-legged next to the desk, took out all the contents of her small schoolbag, and said in a somewhat unspeakable voice: "The main reason is that I am too stupid and will cause trouble to His Highness. You He is the prince, so busy, Wu Xu can just teach me."

"Gu... isn't that busy," Xiao Su squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "Why belittle yourself?"

"Okay then." Cui Yingying resignedly opened the poem she had been learning these days, and while writing it, she had to recognize all the words.

Zhuyu said that the most basic thing for the draft is to be able to read and write. Although she can, it is not much. It would be a bit embarrassing to verify the authenticity on the spot.

The study room was quiet and full of books, but it changed because of the presence of one more person. The fragrance of the girl always filled his nose with the wind, making him uneasy and unable to see what was in front of him. official business.

"Your Highness, can I have a small request?" Cui Yingying suddenly whispered as she wrote.

Xiao Su turned away uncomfortably and said stiffly: "What?"

"If you get Wu Xu's deed of betrayal, can you give it to me so that I can give it to him?" She was embarrassed when she said this request. It was so shameless, so she simply changed her approach and said, "I You can buy it with money.”

"Is I short of money?" Xiao Su sneered.

"But I really need it, so I'll just lend a hand and give it to him for you." Cui Yingying begged.

Xiao Su glanced at the poems she copied and said casually: "If you can recognize five poems today, I will give them to you."

"it is good."

It was so simple that she memorized it.

Cui Yingying, who had the conditions, became more and more attentive when writing, but her handwriting was as ugly as ever.

The hourglass next to it was constantly flowing, and the two of them didn't disturb each other. Except for the fact that she would come over to ask about words she didn't understand, the scene was so harmonious that people couldn't bear to disturb it.

Tang Yang outside the house secretly glanced at him from time to time, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that these two were a perfect match.

Just when he was fascinated by it, Wu Xu appeared at some point and said, "It's really a good match."

Tang Yang was so frightened that he almost screamed. After reacting, Kazuto shrank back and said angrily: "You scared me."

"Don't you think your Highness and Princess Chao Xi are a match made in heaven?" Wu Xu said amusedly.

"The princess is not enlightened." Tang Yang said with disdain.

Wu Xu smiled and shook his head, "Your Highness just likes her ignorant look. How interesting."

Tang Yang scratched his head and was puzzled. It seemed that he had to go back and buy some story books to read and study.

This time Cui Yingying met someone who didn't know how to read again. She pushed the book over and moved closer to the man, frowning, "Your Highness, who is this husband?"

An unintentional remark made Xiao Su's heart beat for a moment. The brush in his hand was broken, and the thick ink dripped on the rice paper, covering up the handwriting. His throat rolled up and down, and his voice was strange, "What did you say?" …”

"What's the word after husband?" Cui Yingying repeated it again, her eyes that should have been full of charm always looked at people with a clear and innocent look. She stared straight at the man and lightly opened his red lips.
