Concubine Allure: Pick up a prince and grab the country

Chapter 286 Chapter 318 Betrayal and Disappointment

"Grandma, I believe that my mother's spirit in the sky doesn't blame you anymore, so don't feel owed to my mother, let alone give me anything in return. I am your granddaughter, and you are my closest person. There should be no relationship between relatives. What's more, Cheng'er doesn't want to call off the engagement."

Her marriage to Chu Yuanheng was an imperial decree, how could she let the dying old lady fight for her freedom, besides, it was Yan Qingcheng's wish to marry Chu Yuanheng, she didn't want to ruin her marriage.

The old lady looked at Yan Qingcheng in confusion, and asked:
"Not retiring the engagement? Don't you feel sad to learn that Chu Yuanheng married another woman today?"

Yan Qingcheng asked the old lady:
"Grandma, should I be sad?"

Maybe she was a little sad just now, but she was sad because in front of the old lady, she could cry as much as she wanted, and laugh as much as she wanted. she.

As for Chu Yuanheng... Maybe, maybe she just felt an inexplicable sense of betrayal. This sense of betrayal was indeed deeper than the sting caused by Lin Yi in the previous life, but if there was no expectation and sacrifice, where would there be disappointment and betrayal?
She felt that she was a little out of control, and this loss of control was bringing her heart to an abyss that would never be restored, so she had to cut off this loss of control.

She forced herself to know everything about Chu Yuanheng and Xia Chanyue, so she was forcing herself to cut off their love, so she felt uncomfortable.

This kind of discomfort is like the newly grown skin from a wound, which was torn open by her. She would rather let the wound fester and inflame than let her heal, with vigilance like masochism.

She doesn't want to experience heart-wrenching disappointment again, she can't afford to love or lose, so she can only force herself to face the naked reality, force herself to be clear enough to recognize her current situation, she is indeed as Yan Jinxiu said Said, she is a pawn in Chu Yuanheng's hand, and all she has to do is to do her part first.

Seeing Yan Qingcheng's eyes finally turned to Qingming, the old lady gradually understood.

"Grandma is glad that you are not sad, but on the other hand, she is worried that you are not sad. That Chu Yuanheng treats you—" If she is not sad, it proves that she has no real feelings for Chu Yuanheng, and she lives more carefreely. It's really a lifetime of respecting each other as guests, so it's not another kind of suffering.

"Grandma, he is very kind to Cheng'er, he should be able to give everything except a heart, so Cheng'er is content."

"Okay, that's good. It's not in vain for grandma to enlighten you. I'm afraid you won't be able to think about it."

"Grandma, life is too short to disturb mediocrity, so why should I trouble myself to make my life unhappy, so grandma, don't worry about Cheng'er, Cheng'er will definitely live in style."

"Okay, okay, she is really a good granddaughter of grandma."

Since the old lady mentioned her mother today, Yan Qingcheng saw that the time was right, so she pretended to ask casually:

"Grandma, speaking of my mother, what kind of woman is my mother?"

The old lady glanced at Yan Qingcheng in surprise.

"Didn't your father tell you about your mother?"

Yan Qingcheng frowned, pursed her lips and shook her head, saying:
"Father never allowed me to inquire about my mother's past."

The old lady remembered that Yan Qingcheng was just a baby when she was carried back to Yan's house, so she had never seen her mother. Pitiful.

Xiong'er doesn't want Cheng'er to know about her mother, maybe it's to protect Cheng'er, or maybe he doesn't want Cheng'er to be sad and blame himself, but Cheng'er grows up, and sooner or later he has to face his own life experience.
