The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 43

Facing the sudden appearance of Qin Mu and his son, Chu Xue stabilized his mood with all his willpower and did not show any abnormality. Qin Mu knew the truth a long time ago, so he was naturally calm enough, but Qin Yuan...

Qin Yuan stood still, looking at the girl in front of him in surprise.

Although it has been so long, he still remembers her appearance when he was a child, and seeing her now, he almost recognizes her intuitively.

Besides, isn't the maid following her just Nan Feng?
It's really her!

Wenwen!

You are... still alive!

Nine years later, she has grown up and is more beautiful than when she was a child, just like a stunning beauty.

But why are you here?Why do you want to retreat behind King Heng?
Qin Yuan had too many questions, and eagerly hoped that anyone in the know could tell him the answer, but before he allowed him to sort out the mess of thoughts, Chu Jian hurriedly said: "Since all the distinguished guests have arrived, the home is ready After the food and drink, please go to the front hall and sit down."

"well!"

Qin Mu could understand his son's feelings at this moment, but if he didn't remind him again, he might be confused if he was left in such a daze, so he hurriedly responded to Chu Jian's words, took a step forward to block Qin Yuan, and leaned over slightly, facing him. Song Chen said politely: "Your Highness please first!"

But even if others didn't see the difference, Song Chen saw Qin Yuan's momentary stunned when he saw Chu Xue. Although he was slightly unhappy, it was understandable. His Xueer was a rare beauty in the world. They were all amazed, not to mention a young man like Qin Yuan who is full of vigor?
But no matter what others do, this is already his woman.

Song Chen turned his head to Chu Xue and said, "My lord will go there first, and we'll go back to the mansion together after dinner?"

"En." Chu Xue tried her best to make her smile look natural, nodded and said: "I am waiting for the prince."

Song Chen led all the male guests to the front hall.

Chu Xue hurriedly turned around, turned her back to the direction of the men, and hurried back to the room just now.

Ever since the moment he saw Chu Xue, Qin Yuan's mind has been muddled. Although he has never met the young lady of the Chu family, he can conclude that it is Wenwen. Why are the people of the Chu family so indifferent?Even his father, Qin Mu, was not surprised. It was obviously Wenwen. Although after so many years, her appearance has not changed much. Even if there is a change, she is more and more like her mother. Mrs. Yue!

However, why is she still calling herself a concubine to Heng Wang when she is beside Heng Wang?

Could it be that Miss Chu's family who married Hengwang, the rumored favored side concubine of Hengwang, was Wenwen?

He looked at his father who was chatting and laughing happily with other guests, and was shocked again. Did his father know this long ago?

The male guests who came to celebrate their father’s birthday did not bring their female relatives. Chu Xue had lunch with her mother, sister-in-law and nephew, and the family members did not need to drink, so it was not that troublesome, and the lunch was over soon.Sister-in-law Sun took the two nephews back to the room to rest for a while, and Chu Xue talked to her mother about herself.

Mrs. Chu knew that she was deeply touched by the surprise just now, and she was also afraid that Song Chen would notice if she was too preoccupied after she went back, so she instructed: "The things in the past are over, don't think too much."

She nodded and remained silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "Mother, have Uncle Qin Mu's family been in the capital?"

Mother sighed and said, "Yes, I heard that I have been here for eight or nine years."

Eight or nine years?
In other words, since she came to the capital, the Qin family has also moved here. She and brother Qin Yuan have lived in the same city for so many years, but they have never seen each other.

That's right, she smiled sadly in her heart, the child of the Yue family should have died, isn't she already the daughter of the Chu family?
Therefore, she has no reason and no chance to meet Brother Qin Yuan!

So the Qin family never knew where they were.

She thought for a while and then asked: "Uncle Qin Mu was not surprised to see me today, did he already know?"

Mother nodded and replied: "Yes, I understand. Ever since you attended the palace banquet for Concubine Heng last year, he came to ask your father. Your father has already told him everything."

Hearing this, Chu Xue didn't panic. Her father must have his own arrangements, so she doesn't need to worry too much. Besides, she can trust Uncle Qin Mu as a man, but brother Qin Yuan...

The mother said again: "In the Qin family, only General Qin himself knows about this matter, and that Mr. Qin probably doesn't know about it."

Chu Xue was silent, but what if he knew, so what if he didn't know?
Ever since her Yue family's accident happened, she and Qin Yuan have been impossible. Although she is still alive, she is no longer Yue Wen, and she can't be Yue Wen anymore, so she never dared to go when she was hiding in the deep boudoir. Fantasizing about everything with Qin Yuan.

With a quick glance just now, she found that Brother Qin Yuan had grown into a torch youth. Although he still had the shadow of his childhood, if he met suddenly on the street, she might not recognize him.Brother Qin Yuan is about the same age as his brother Yue Zhi, if his brother is still alive, he should be that kind of talent...

Seeing her in a daze, her mother thought she was still thinking about Qin Yuan, so she took her hand and said earnestly, "Xue'er, you are now King Heng's man, although that child from the Qin family is good, but...it's impossible... ..."

She looked at her mother with a smile, shook her head and said, "Don't worry, mother, I'm not thinking about that. Ever since she was a child, my daughter has always regarded Brother Qin Yuan as her elder brother. The prince treats me very well, and I have no second thoughts about him. "

Yes, I have already fallen in love with him, so how can I have two hearts?

"Is Brother Qin Yuan married?" She asked her mother curiously.

Seeing that she denied her worries, her mother felt relieved, and said, "No, I heard that he was also devoted to his business affairs, and he was not engaged yet, but it seems that he is not very old, only 21? There is no need to worry too much.”

"Oh." She nodded, and she missed it by accident.

But meeting Song Chen, she was already satisfied.

Like a dazzling light suddenly rising in the dark days, he gave her a man's powerful care, tender and sweet love, illuminating the rest of her life after the catastrophe, she couldn't help but greedily pray, he My heart is the sun that never sets, not a fleeting meteor.

After talking to her mother, the banquet in the front hall was almost eaten, and Song Chen sent a message to take her back to the house, so she straightened her appearance and left the room.

After the palace change, Yanzhou probably doesn't have to go back, as long as she is in the capital, she will always have a chance to meet her relatives, so this farewell does not have much sorrow.

The host and the guests saw them off together, and Song Chen still held her hand and helped her into the carriage. Although this was a usual action, she was a little awkward today, because among the people who sent them off were Uncle Qin Mu and Brother Qin Yuan.

Before the car curtain was lowered, her eyes glanced in the direction of the Qin family father and son unintentionally. Qin Mu's eyes were full of distress, but Qin Yuan's eyes were filled with surprise, sadness and loss.Her heart was startled suddenly, and the car had already moved forward.

Midsummer is over, and the weather is beginning to cool down.The gauze curtain on the car was replaced with a yellow silk curtain symbolizing imperial power. After driving for a while, Song Chen pulled her closer and hugged her on his lap.

He smelled like wine, she must have drunk a lot just now, recalling the previous situation, she became a bit vigilant and tried not to stick herself against his body.

"Why are you sitting so upright? Why don't you lean over? Huh?" He looked at her with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

She knew that he had seen through her intentions, but she didn't want to reveal it, lest he take advantage of the situation to bully her again, so she just made an excuse and said: "It's a little hot."

Song Chen smiled, didn't refute her anymore, just hugged her waist tightly, lowered his head, and went straight to kiss her.

She was startled, and wanted to struggle again, but she was afraid that she would struggle harder like the previous few times, so she followed him first, let him pester him for a while, and then whispered after he left, "My lord, it's daytime now... ..."

"What's the matter during the day, can't you just kiss me?" Song Chen pressed her forehead and asked hoarsely.

Even though he had drunk, his mind was still clear, and he still had a big matter to deal with, and he didn't want to mess around in the car, he just wanted to take pity on his beauty for a while.

Seeing that he didn't make any further moves, Chu Xue was relieved a little, and quickly changed the subject: "Is the lord thirsty? Just now, my concubine asked someone to make hangover soup. Do you want to drink it?"

As he said that, he pretended to look for the soup cup.

Song Chen chased after her and whispered in her ear, "Don't be so nervous, I really just want to kiss you."

The warm breath with the aroma of wine brushed over her earlobe, she was a little itchy, and hearing him so gentle, she could only blushed and bowed her head, and said nothing more.

But he heard him add another sentence in his ear, "I want you well in the evening."

After seeing King Heng off, the guests from the Chu Mansion also withdrew one after another.

In the Qin family's carriage, Qin Yuan looked at his father and finally couldn't help saying: "Father..."

Qin Mu raised his hand to stop him, "This is not a place to talk, wait until you return home."

Qin Yuan frowned and nodded.

When they got back to their home, the father and son greeted Mrs. Qin briefly, and entered the study one after the other.

"Father, you already knew, didn't you? Wenwen is still alive? Why did she become the young lady of the Chu family? Why, why did she marry Hengwang? Also, you said we want to support Hengwang, is it because of Wenwen? ?”

Qin Yuan poured out all the doubts and puzzles in his heart, and waited for Qin Mu to clarify his doubts.

Qin Mu's complexion was deep, he sighed, and finally told his son the truth he knew.

Qin Yuan was surprised and silent after listening.

He didn't know that Wenwen had gone through so much while escaping from death, and he didn't know what kind of life she lived in hiding in Chu's house for eight years. He could imagine that when a young girl faced the tragic death of her family... With the despair and fear in his heart, he missed too much.

They are in the capital together, and the distance between the two mansions is less than half an hour, but they have not seen each other for eight years. He has passed by the street outside the Chu Mansion countless times, but he has never thought that there is a deep place in that place. In the deep house, lived the person he was dreaming of...

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Qin Mu persuaded: "Nianxiu, if you miss it, you miss it. It's not easy for Wenwen to survive. From now on, you have to calm down. Her current identity is not for you to think about. "

Her current status...

Qin Yuan closed his eyes and smiled wryly, "Even if the sky wants us to miss it, she shouldn't be married to King Heng as a concubine. Wenwen, how can she be a concubine?"

Isn't this Qin Mu's sore spot? Qin Mu sighed again, and said, "The Chu family had no other choice in the past. Otherwise, with Master Chu's character, how could he be willing to let his daughter be a concubine? But having said that, once King Heng ascends the throne, Wen Wen Wen must be a noble imperial concubine, and her status will be unmatched by few people."

Qin Mu looked at Qin Yuan, and continued: "Also, it is not difficult to see today that the rumors in the market are all true, Hengwang really dotes on Wenwen..."

"So what?" Qin Yuan interrupted his father's words for the first time in his life, and he said heartbrokenly: "He will be the king, what king would be devoted to his whole life?"

Wenwen, who he carefully placed in his heart, should not suffer the fate of being neglected and empathized.

Fate is so unfair. What some people have at their fingertips is what others look up to forever.
