forced into marriage

Lin Xi glanced at Chu Yu, and found that he was reading with a book, and there was no trace of anger on his face.

But like this, Lin Xi couldn't stand it anymore, opened the curtains, and started cursing angrily: "Can you be quiet! Keep talking, keep talking, and there is no end! You haven't figured out the truth, so you just sit there blindly." Discuss, talk everywhere, eat enough all day long and have nothing to do! You guys can talk more nonsense than those aunts and aunts, why don’t you write scripts?! If you have this spare time, why don’t you go home and read more This book, so that I can get a number one in the exam, if I see you spread rumors again, believe it or not, I will tear your mouths to pieces!!"

Finally, the people outside became quiet, and Lin Xi felt comfortable cursing this time. When he closed the curtains and turned his head, he saw Chu Yu staring at him meaningfully.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Lin Xi asked, "Did I disturb you?"

Chu Yu just smiled, didn't answer him, and asked him instead: "Does the princess hate them?"

"It's disgusting, they are too bad, talking nonsense everywhere, obviously the truth is not like that, but well, they are all like this, they like to gossip."

There are hates, but it can't be said that that kind of person is the kind of hate.

He had heard this kind of talk a lot, including himself, and was also rumored by others, and he was used to it.

If you beat and kill people like this who spread nonsense without knowing the truth, there will be hundreds and thousands of such people appearing, and the rumors will not be stopped... Sometimes, the truth will also be buried .

So before Lin Xi, when faced with such remarks, he chose not to listen. He would rather not care what others said, as long as he knew his innocence.

But he couldn't bear others to think of him like he used to, so he scolded anyone he saw, beat him if he could, and beat them to death.

Chu Yu understood the meaning of Lin Xi's words: "Purify."

"My subordinate understands."

After receiving the order, Su Qing gave Xiao Ran the driving rope, jumped up and landed on the roof.

"Why did you call him?" Lin Xi asked.

Chu Yu replied: "Didn't the concubine say that she hates those people? This king is asking Su Qing to teach them a lesson for you."

Lin Xi thought that the lesson he said was to kill them, so he quickly retorted: "No, I didn't mean that. Oh, I can't kill them anyway."

"Well, he's measured." Chu Yu picked up the book and started reading again.

After hearing this, Lin Xi felt relieved.

If he is really dead, then he is the culprit.

Yongning Houfu

The carriage stopped at the gate of Yongning Hou Mansion, and the servants at the gate didn't know who it was, so one of them stepped forward to ask.

As a result, he recognized Xiao Ran as soon as he stepped forward.

"Xiao Ran, why are you here? Could it be that the young master is back?"

I was a little curious when Xiao Ran came back, but I thought that if Xiao Ran came back, then Lin Xi must have come back too.

"Well, go and inform Madam." Xiao Ran agreed, and then thought that there was another person. "By the way, tell Madam that King Ning is here."

The boy was startled, and hurried in to report.

After the young man entered, Lin Xi got out of the carriage, and as soon as he came out, a crowd of people surrounded the gate.

"Is he marrying the sick child, Lin Xi?"

"Yes! It's the one who killed someone back then."

"..."

These words basically came out of the man's mouth.

As for women, they are not the same as what they pay attention to.

"Hey, this Young Master Lin is also a good-looking talent, what a pity."

"Yeah, what a son, he ended up marrying a man."

"..."

"By the way, Mr. Lin returned home in King Ning's carriage, so will he also come?"

With that said, Chu Yu also lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

He looked around at the people around him, then looked at Lin Xi again, and joked: "The princess is really famous."

Lin Xi also looked around and glared at him: "Are you kidding? You're all here to see the jokes of my Yongning Hou Mansion!"

He pulled Chu Yu's sleeve and walked in quickly, away from this terrifying place.

After they came in, they stood in the courtyard. To Lin Xi, it felt like they had been away for a long time. He looked at the scene in the courtyard: "It's better to come back."

Chu Yu didn't pay attention to what he saw. As soon as Lin Xi stopped, he kept staring at the place where Lin Xi was holding his hand, and he was still a little happy in his heart.

Lin Xi dragged him in again. They searched the front yard and the main hall, but there was no one there, so they walked to the back yard. As soon as they left the main hall, Yongninghou and his wife rushed towards them.

"Father, I'm back!" He let go of Chu Yu's sleeves, ran towards Wen Rong, and hugged her.

Chu Yu looked at the person next to him who was pulling his sleeve, and ran over there, frowning slightly.

"Your Highness." Marquis Lin Yanzong of Yongning hurriedly saluted when he saw Chu Yu.

Chu Yu just nodded slightly in response.

Lin Xi looked at the three of them, and felt a little strange, since he had never seen them before, and everyone outside said that Chu Yu was a sick child, not good enough, and his parents said the same, so why weren't they surprised.

"Father and mother, he doesn't look like the rumors in the market, aren't you surprised?"

The Marquis of Yongning didn't know how to answer this question. Fortunately, Wen Rong was witty and changed the subject: "You must be tired from sitting in the carriage. Let's go to the main hall to have a rest."

Lin Xi refused. He came back this time mainly to explain to his younger sister Lin Yun: "No, I'll go and see Yun'er."

Wen Rong: "Yun'er is still angry with me, she didn't eat breakfast or lunch, go and persuade her."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xi left. Seeing him leaving, Chu Yu wanted to call him back, but forget it, Yongning Hou and his wife took him to the main hall alone.

-

Lin Xi came to Lin Yun's yard, but she didn't see her as usual. Lin Yun, who was taking care of the flowers and plants in the yard, just looked at her maid Xia Qing, who was sitting on the stairs by the door, turning her head to look at the door from time to time. , the expression is also slightly anxious.

Seeing Xia Qing like that, he walked up to her softly: "Xia Qing, why are you sitting on the ground, where is your lady?"

When Xia Qing heard it, she looked up and saw that it was really Lin Xi. She quickly stood up and pulled him: "My lord, go and persuade the young lady, she won't eat or drink, and has locked herself in her room for two days!"

"Mother, didn't she tell Yun'er about me?" Lin Xi continued to ask.

Xia Qing replied: "I did, and when I heard about you that day, I fell into a coma for a whole day and night!"

After hearing this, Lin Xi walked quickly to Lin Yun's room and knocked carefully: "Yun'er?"

Seeing no sound, he continued to knock: "Can brother come in?"

Just about to knock again, the door was opened from the inside.

"Yun'er..."

When Lin Xi saw the door opened and Lin Yun was standing in front of him, he got nervous and took half a step back.

Lin Yun glared at him, then turned around and sat down at the table.

"Xia Qing, go and prepare some food." After ordering Xia Qing, she followed Lin Yun in.

Lin Xi sat next to Lin Yun, wanting to speak, but afraid that Lin Yun would get angry.

The two remained silent for a while.

He decided to break the deadlock: "Yun'er, actually I..."

Before Lin Xi finished speaking, Lin Yun turned sideways and looked at him: "Why did brother lie to me with parents?"

"I didn't. After you left that day, someone from the palace sent an imperial decree." He said while observing Lin Yun's expression, "Yun'er, brother really didn't lie to you!"

Lin Yun didn't care whether he was cheating on her or not, and looked at Lin Xi: "How is brother doing in Prince Ning's Mansion?"

how is it?

How does this man Lin Xi answer? When he first arrived at Prince Ning’s Mansion, no one greeted his relatives, and he kicked the sedan door by himself, making him a joke alone. House arrest, but... Chu Yu just didn't let him go out, and didn't care about other things, allowing him to mess around in Prince Ning's mansion.

Although Chu Yu came back later and kept teasing him, and sometimes threatened him with Yongninghou, Chu Yu didn't blame him, it wasn't too much, not to mention that Chu Yu pushed the emperor for himself and accompanied him back to the door.

So he can't tell how he is doing in Prince Ning's Mansion. It's also possible that he, Chu Yu, is just being patient. For the sake of the imperial decree, treat him better. After a while, I'm afraid his attitude will change drastically. .

However, even if Chu Yu really treated him badly and the whole Prince Ning's House refused to accept him, then he still had to tell Lin Yun that he was fine and that he was fine.

He could complain to anyone, about his grievances, but in front of Lin Yun, he couldn't. He was afraid that Lin Yun would look for him alone like before, and he would get scars again.

If a scar falls on the daughter's body or face, she might as well die. Lin Yun has a three-finger-long shallow scar on her left arm, which can be covered with rouge and gouache, not to mention There were clothes blocking it, so Lin Yun didn't think there was anything wrong.

But Lin Xi is concerned, he blames himself very much, if he hadn't sneaked out to play, Lin Yun would not have been in a hurry to find out, and the branches would not have cut his clothes and scratched his arms.

Lin Xi recalled the scene back then, and teased her with a smile: "Your brother is such a powerful person, how could he be bullied."

"You're joking again!" Lin Yun herself didn't believe it. She knew exactly what kind of person he was.

From childhood to adulthood, he didn't go to school, so he invited a teacher for him, and he went on several occasions one after another. He was able to write and read, and he learned it under Lin Yun's supervision, but he didn't pay attention when writing, crooked and sloppy. I can also see a rough idea.

He was asked to learn martial arts, and he cheated and played tricks again. When the master was not around, he couldn't even do the horse stance well. Let him practice for two hours. As long as no one was watching, he didn't have a quarter of an hour. With someone watching from the side, he must be able to figure out a way to make himself lazy.

It is impossible for him to learn literature and martial arts in this life. He is a playful character, and no one can stop him. Except for the gentleman Lin Yun and Lin Xi are talking about, no one else can control him: "Love to play very much."

This is quite true.

"More than that, my brother's tongue-in-cheek way of perfunctory my sister is also great." Lin Yun knew that he was joking, and followed his words.

Seeing that Lin Yun was not angry, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Lin Yun's character, although not visible on the surface, is not sure in his heart, not to mention that this time the matter is so serious: "If Yun'er's anger disappears, just be good." If you don't eat, brother will let you punish him until you calm down, okay?"

"What's the use of punishing you? If you are punished, you won't have a long memory. Besides, where can the government lock you up? You can still run away." Lin Yun acted like a reprimand, but she didn't say anything to reprimand her. Did not really blame him.

"Yun'er still understands me." Lin Xi wanted to change the subject, so he told Lin Yun what he had done in Prince Ning's Mansion, "By the way, brother, let me tell you some interesting things."

-

On the main hall side, Chu Yu came to the main hall with Lin Yanzong and his wife. After the three of them sat down, they asked them to leave, so they were servants.

"Your Highness has come here in person this time, what instructions do you have?" Lin Yanzong spoke first.

Chu Yu didn't speak, and slowly sipped tea, as if he didn't hear it, with a contented expression.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Wen Rong pushed Lin Yanzong with her elbow. Lin Yanzong didn't want to disturb Chu Yu's tea, but after Wen Rong pushed him like this, she still called Chu Yu: "Your Highness?"

This time Chu Yu answered, he put down his teacup, messed up his messed up sleeves, and spoke in an unhurried, very steady way: "Accompany the princess back to the door."

"Really?" Lin Yanzong's tone seemed to be interrogating Chu Yu.

Chu Yu just looked up at him, responded, and continued to straighten his sleeves.

Wen Rong is in a hurry. She obviously wanted Lin Yanzong to ask Chu Yu about Lin Xi, but in the end... she had to ask herself.

She looked at Chu Yu, although she was sitting upright, her manner was upright, and she didn't show any fear on her face, but the hands hidden under her sleeves were holding the handkerchief tightly. She knew that if she said the words, she would surely Annoyed by this Buddha, she thought she was also concerned about Lin Xi.

What's more, the person in front of him looks like a gentle scholar, but he is actually like that wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Your Highness, I don't know why you want to marry Xi'er, but I hope you don't involve Xi'er in the court. He is born to play and doesn't understand court affairs, so please don't hurt me." with him."

This passage, Wen Rong said, made others sweat for her, and her hands also sweated a lot, half of the handkerchief was wet.

Chu Yu also glanced at Wen Rong the same way he looked at Lin Yanzong, but this time he didn't respond so casually.

"My king won't."

Just these four words, he said firmly, but he didn't know how others would feel when listening to them.

Wen Rong said again: "My wife also doesn't know why you came here to offer the engagement quietly a month ago, specifying that you want to marry Xi'er, and my wife doesn't want to know, but if your highness really wants to marry him, don't you dare to marry him forever?" Protect him for the rest of his life."

Seeing that Chu Yu's expression hadn't changed much, he continued.

"You must know what the people on the street said when the emperor ordered Xi'er to sit on the bridal sedan chair, and the words were so disgusting, but he still sat on it, and was forced to wear a wedding dress just like his daughter's family. On that day, he forced himself to die, saying that he was determined not to marry, but for the sake of Yongning Hou's mansion, dozens of people were killed. He would rather be drowned by the people's spittle than let anyone hurt Yongning. People in the Houfu, in order to save his sister, he was spread rumors by the people around him, and he didn't hurt Yun'er in the slightest. Now he is insulted by the people in the city, and he pretends that His Highness can let Xi'er in the future, don't suffer like this bitter."

Chu Yu drank the tea in the cup in one breath, stood up, patted his body, straightened his messy clothes, turned around, walked a few steps, and stopped again.

With one hand behind his back, he turned his head slightly and looked at the two of them: "Since he has been hired and married, I will protect him for a lifetime of happiness and well-being."
