marry the princess

Chapter 85 The truth of the past

In the end, Su Leyan had no choice but to be dragged by Xiaoxue and Xiaolian to their respective homes for a tour. At the busy New Year's Eve, the neighbors in the past didn't have time to ask her where she went this year. , just warmly entertained her.

"Mr. Su has been away for a year. We are all worried about Mr., these children, they are always arguing and missing you, and Mr. Su is not watching on weekdays. These children are going wild, everyone We are also busy on weekdays, and the school in the city is not affordable for poor families like us, without Mr., we really don’t know what to do."

At Xiaoxue's house, Mother Xiaoxue was busy marinating a few pieces of bacon, her hands were full of traces of hard work, but at thirty she looked a bit old because of the hardships of life, with fine wrinkles around the corners of her eyes, very kind, " Now that Mr. Su is back, I don’t know if Mr. Su will continue to take care of this poor house? We children from poor families can only be entrusted to Mr. to take care of.”

Being entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, Su Leyan felt a little uneasy. She might not be able to take care of these children, but she just smiled and didn't answer directly, "The children are still young, they should go to school to study."

While they were chatting, Xiaopang suddenly ran in from outside again, his face was sweaty, he was out of breath, his chubby little face was flushed red.

"Sister Leyan, brother Xiaozuo is here."

Su Leyan never expected that Xiaopang would come in and say such a thing, she stood up from the table in a daze.

Seeing her lost consciousness, Xiao Xueniang couldn't help smiling, put down the work in hand, and called Xiaoxue away from her, "Sir, go first, if you are free, come to my house for dinner."

Xiaoxue was also very sensible not to pester Su Leyan, and obediently asked her sister to come and play earlier.

"Le Yan, where have you been?"

In the backyard of Caoluotang, next to the ancient willow tree, Jiang Xiaozuo, whom he hadn't seen for a year, stood under the tree. He still looked delicate and elegant, with a faint smell of herbs forever on his body.

"Grandma Zhu didn't tell you?" Su Leyan was evasive, "How did she tell you?"

"Le Yan, what are you hiding from me?" After not seeing her for a year, Jiang Xiaozuo couldn't bear to reminisce about the old days with her. He couldn't wait to know what happened to her and why she was hurt after being beaten. After that, he disappeared for a year without any news.

Su Leyan lowered her eyebrows, she didn't know what to say for a moment, Jiang Xiaozuo is not a child, he is not so easy to deceive.

"Le Yan, why are you hiding it from me?"

Su Leyan's silence made Jiang Xiaozuo feel very uncomfortable.They have known each other for nearly ten years, Jiang Xiaozuo always thought that he was standing beside her, the person closest to her, every frown, every smile, every joy and anger, Jiang Xiaozuo saw in his eyes, she occupied the place in his heart most of the locations.

He also always thought that he occupied a special place in Su Leyan's heart. She and him have had a tacit understanding for ten years, and there will be another ten years until they grow old.But Su Leyan suddenly disappeared from his sight, and no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find her whereabouts. Then he suddenly realized that Su Leyan was such a mysterious person to him, and she disappeared from his life so easily. .

"To Le Yan, what am I?" Jiang Xiaozuo's eyes looked lonely, "Is it someone Le Yan can't trust?"

Something big must have happened to her, it happened before she left, but she didn't say anything and chose to leave quietly.Seeing Su Leyan again, Jiang Xiaozuo's heart beat fast, he was extremely excited, but also extremely disappointed.The emotion that came from nowhere, the feeling that Su Leyan was far away from him became stronger and stronger, which also made his heart feel heavier and more painful.

Seeing the hurt emotion in Jiang Xiaozuo's eyes, Su Leyan frowned.

Jiang Xiaozuo has been with her for ten years and is her closest friend. In the eyes of people around her, if there is no mistake, Su Leyan will marry Jiang Xiaozuo one day and become his wife.Sometimes, Su Leyan thought the same way, that one day she would stand by his side and live with him.

Su Leyan looked at Jiang Xiaozuo's face without speaking, her eyes were misty, and she didn't know where her thoughts were wandering.Seeing her again, Jiang Xiaozuo was surprised and happy, angry and resentful. Seeing her absent-minded appearance at the moment, the resentment in his heart finally dissipated, "Le Yan, you have been okay this year. ?"

"Smile, I'm sorry."

Jiang Xiaozuo's gentleness made Su Leyan feel extremely guilty.She knew all about his concerns and worries, but she still chose to hide them. Her concealment was not about being gentle to Jiang Xiaozuo, but about hurting her.

"Then are you willing to tell me what happened?" Jiang Xiaozuo couldn't bear to see the sad expression on her face, "If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. From now on, I will stay by your side. I will protect you well."

"Le Yan, will you marry me?"

Jiang Xiaozuo pulled Su Leyan's hand, afraid that in the blink of an eye, Su Leyan would disappear unknowingly, he pulled her, his eyes were all about her, "Marry me and be my wife, okay?"

Su Leyan looked into Jiang Xiaozuo's serious eyes, and didn't speak for a long time. The whole world suddenly emptied, leaving only the two of them holding hands and looking at each other for a lifetime.

"My mother is the younger sister of the great general Yan Zhi."

After a long time, it was Su Leyan's low voice that pulled them into reality, "Mother is the daughter of a concubine, and her status in the general's mansion is not high, but my mother is born with a gentle personality and is friendly. What a grievance. When my mother was 16 years old, my mother met my father, the court captain, Su Yuzhi."

Su Yuzhi, this person from more than 20 years ago, even if Su Leyan mentions it now, Jiang Xiaozuo doesn’t know the story behind this name. In fact, even Su Leyan has no memory of her father. All the stories are from her mother. She told her that the image of her father was formed word by word in her mother's language, but even so, Su Leyan was full of imagination and affection for the father who had no memory.

Su Yuzhi was working with Yan Zhi at the beginning, and by chance, he met Su Leyan's mother, Yan Xiru, and they soon knew each other and fell in love with each other, and they became married.Yan Xiru and Su Yuzhi's marriage went smoothly without encountering any resistance. As the older brother, Yan Zhi was very satisfied with this relationship, and even got closer to them after Yan Xiru married Su Yuzhi.
