Chapter 639 The Cunning Guy

"It's you." When he saw the face in front of him, Chun Zhi opened his mouth.

"It's me." Chai Dong nodded, and he reached out to touch her forehead, "I'm better, do you want some water?"

Haruka nodded. "want."

I don't know how long she hasn't drank water, and now her throat is so dry that it is about to smoke.After she had only said a few words, she felt that her throat was grinding uncomfortably.

Chai Dong turned around and poured a glass of water for her to drink.

The warm water was slowly poured into his mouth, and Chun Zhi gulped it down, only to feel that his dry throat was moistened.

Then, she had the energy to look around.

It didn't matter, but after looking at her, I realized that there were only the two of them in the room now!
"What about the others?" she asked hurriedly.

"I sent them away." Chai Dong replied.

Chun Zhi was startled, and Chai Dong smiled lightly again. "It was so hard for me to find an opportunity to talk to you alone. To my surprise, you woke up without saying a few words. Does this mean that you still feel the most about my voice? Otherwise, why did they call you so many times, but you didn't respond, but you woke up just after I came?"

Chun Zhi stared at him for a long time, before asking again: "Where is the third son?"

Chai Dong's smile froze slightly. "Sure enough. In your heart, my position is still lower than it."

But after he finished speaking, he took a long breath, and hugged a small jar on the bedside table. "I know you must be reluctant to part with it, but you have been in a coma these days, and its body can't be left alone like that, so I decided to ask someone to burn it, and now the ashes are placed in this jar. When you leave, you can just hold its ashes and leave."

Chunzhi quickly took the small jar and hugged it tightly in her arms.

Seeing this, Chai Dong sighed again. "You have been languishing for half a month because of it. When I am a hundred years later, if you can also languish for me for such a long time, even if I die, I will be satisfied."

Another exclamation.

Haruka looked up at him. "Why are you doing this?"

"Yeah, why should I do this?" Chai Dong chuckled lightly, "However, if I knew that even if you left me, life would still be difficult, then I shouldn't have let you go. I thought, without my shackles, you can spread your wings and soar in the sky indulgently."

"If I stayed here, I'm afraid I would have been forced to death by your good mother and sister." Chun Zhi said.

Chai Dong paused, then nodded again. "Indeed. Although you have encountered a lot of bad things outside now, at least those people will not be as safe as my mother and my sister. If you say that, you'd better leave."

Having said that, his frown was finally loosened.

When Chun Zhi saw it, a thousand feelings flooded her heart inexplicably.

In fact, when Chai Dong readily agreed to give her a divorce letter, she had already guessed his intention.However, hearing his confession now, she was still filled with emotions.

"How have you been all these years?" she asked softly.

"Not good." Chai Dong shook his head, "Without your lucky star by my side, I would not dare to do anything boldly, for fear of failure - just like that time, I wanted to make another great contribution in the name of disaster relief in the Northwest , but in the end? I almost lost my life! I was so exhausted that Xiao Hei was seriously injured. Although you rescued it, it only lived for another two years and passed away. It went so far Early, it must have something to do with the injuries I suffered back then. With the experience and lessons learned from that time, I didn’t dare to act recklessly. After all, although the future is important, my life is the most precious. There is no life , it’s all empty talk.”

Chun Zhi couldn't help frowning.

A man who used to be so high-spirited, no matter what danger he encountered, would have the courage to venture out, but now he shrinks back like this?
This is not the Chai Dong she knows.

"I don't know, but you really believed what Fu Xing said." She chuckled.

"Even if you don't believe me, you have to make a show for them." Chai Dong also smiled at her.

Chun Zhi was startled, and she figured it out.

"I just said, how could you be such a person!" She shook her head, but she let out a long sigh of relief.

Ever since the corners of Chai Dong's mouth were bent up, they didn't come down again. "As I said, I won't follow in my father's footsteps. My father was always making strides, making himself a living target. Of course, he has reaped a lot of benefits for himself. But it also makes many people look jealous. If others don't deal with him, who else can deal with him? Now my situation is even more difficult than him, plus that sister in the palace... If I get too aggressive, then Not only is he a thorn in the eyes of the prince, but also a thorn in the eyes of the emperor. After all, he suffered a lot under my father's hands. Although he doesn't mention the old things now, I don't believe that every time he sees me, he feels I haven't thought about my father. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so guarded against me."

Chun Zhi didn't speak, but Chai Dong spoke slowly again. "Besides, I have a son. My son is not bad. He is going to take the imperial examination soon. When he wins the Jinshi and enters the court as an official, we father and son will share the burden. Wouldn't it be easier and less troublesome? In fact, I don’t have to bear the burden on my shoulders. It is destined to be a thankless task to grab credit with your descendants.”

There was another bang in Chunzhi's mind, and a new door was pushed open again.

"Now, don't you adore your father so much anymore?"

"It's not that I don't worship so much, it's just that I don't worship blindly anymore." Chai Dong corrected him solemnly, "My father is certainly talented, but he was limited by his background and didn't know how to do things—of course, this may also be because of the Chu family. That’s why they have been encouraging him back then. Otherwise, he might not have ended up in that end.”

Chun Zhi's heart skipped a beat!
He even knew about the Chu family?
"Who told you?" she asked hurriedly.

"No one, I guessed it." Chai Dong smiled, "Actually, if I think about it carefully, I can think of something wrong. The marriage of my father and mother seems to be a beautiful story, but when I think about it carefully, it is actually The Chu family brought my father over and asked him to be a cow and a horse for the Chu family. Otherwise, why did my father crawl so fast, but the Chu family did not make much movement? It was because they understood the truth that Muxiu must be destroyed by Lin Feng Therefore, they are not willing to send their own people to die, so they can only send my father. If you say this, then my mother will not be a good person. This can also explain why I have such a Sister, they will even give birth to me like this."

It was all his own thought.Moreover, he still wants to score exactly!

Harue knew he was smart.It's just that now hearing him take the initiative to analyze the matter, Chun Zhi still couldn't help being amazed.

"However..." Chai Dong said again, "My father is not stupid, he should have noticed it later! That's why he started to organize his own people and wanted to form his own power. Unfortunately, it was too late. But , His move has done a good thing for me. His case has also become a vivid example in front of me, let me know what to do next, so as not to fall into the same situation as him. "

As he spoke, he grinned at Chun Zhi again. "So, you don't have to blame yourself. My current situation has nothing to do with you. I even used you to prevaricate my mother and my sister. In this matter, I have to say sorry to you. I also hope that your highness, the princess, is a large number of adults, and don't be as knowledgeable as a humble minister."

At the end, he stood up again and saluted Chun Zhi respectfully.

What a cunning fellow!First pretending to be pitiful in front of her, and then pretending to be strong in a blink of an eye, it would be best for him to take the initiative to comfort her.But after hearing the end, she didn't feel at ease at all, on the contrary she felt even more pitiful for him!

After not dealing with each other for a long time, the two fought hand to hand again, and she found that she had lost again.

At least, she couldn't pretend to be so pitiful.

However, now she will not soften her heart so easily.

Therefore, Chun Zhi just smiled faintly: "Of course I don't have the same knowledge as you. After all, I also used you in the north!"

As she spoke, she winked at Chai Dong again. "Let's not talk about the past for now. Now, I want to ask you, are you in the mood to discuss a cooperation with me?"
