Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 173 Rare Tenderness (Part [-])

So... just sat down.

There is such a kind of person, even if he sits next to you, even if he only keeps a fist-sized distance from you, you still feel that he is far away from you.Ruoshui tilted his head slightly, and his eyes only fell on the other party's fingertips resting on his knees. His fingertips were beautiful, slender like jade, with well-defined joints. He was the best sculptor. Show such a pair of hands.

He was just sitting there, silently, without looking away, like a puppet without a soul.

Really reluctantly.

Ruoshui withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and blinked her eyes again, only to feel that she wanted to cry more and more sorely in her heart, she sniffed, her voice became more and more choked, and she asked, "I... am I an annoying person?" ..."

The look of self-doubt is completely different from the look of being violent and scolded just now, as if he had exhausted all his courage just now.

Gu Cuo shook his head, "No." His voice sounded stiff and rigid, but in such an environment, there was a kind of truth that was almost straightforward.

This kind of truth is also a kind of sincerity, Ruoshui has the courage to look at him, "Then why do you never talk to me?"

"We don't know each other."

unfamiliar?Just because of unfamiliarity?For a moment, Ruoshui felt that the answer was a little surprising, but who is familiar with each other from birth?Even if they are twins, it is impossible to know each other in the mother's womb, right?But after thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong, so she asked Gu Cuo, "Then how long have you and...you and Ji Wuyan known each other?"

He was as succinct as ever, "Forgot."

The other party obviously didn't want to talk about it, and Ruoshui didn't pursue it, not to mention he wasn't in the mood to gossip right now.She only hugged her own legs, resting her chin on her knees, and murmured to herself, "Recently, Mrs. Ye's family likes me very much...she invites me over almost every day. I thought, this is me Even though there were wives who invited me before, most of them were from small families, and the wives who attended the banquet were all similar."

"Perhaps you may think that I am the same as those women who want to fly to the branches to become phoenixes, the same... I hate the poor and love the rich, and my eyes are high and my hands are low. But in fact, I really just want my piano sound to make me more Many people have heard... Mrs. Ye is on good terms with the queen. If Mrs. Ye likes my piano, will she mention me occasionally when she enters the palace to meet the queen... If so, will I also have the opportunity to enter the palace? playing the piano..."

I don't know if it's because the other party's expression is a little lonely, or because she looks familiar with sadness, Gu Cuo frowned slightly, and asked, "Mr. Jiaofang Siwang, isn't it your mentor? With her around, do you need to be so far away?"

"I call her mentor, and she is indeed my guide..." Ruoshui smiled lowly, "But she has many students in her hands, and there are also many talented people, even Princess Lingxi, who was also taught by her." Under the door. If I didn't have a Fuxiqin, she wouldn't have liked me. It's important to be self-aware, so naturally I wouldn't be able to make such an exorbitant request."

In fact, what Ruoshui didn't say is that now His Majesty doesn't like to enjoy it. There are not many banquets in the palace. Waiting and waiting are just playing with dozens of girls. No one will pay attention to you. The girls lined up in front of Mr. Wang with real money and waited for such an opportunity. How can I... compare to those girls who have the support of the whole family behind them.

She didn't say these things, she didn't want Gu Cuo to feel that she was complaining that she didn't have a good family background or a good teacher.

Gu Cuo stood up with his hands propped up, patted his dusty palms, but did not leave, but leaned against the rockery with his hands behind his back, nodded, and agreed, "Well, now that the decision has been made, why are you crying?"

This seems to be the longest sentence that Gu Cuo said to her. In the flat tone, some gentle concern can be heard inexplicably.Ruoshui looked up at him stupidly.

The sun was shining from the top of his head, which was a little dazzling, his face was hidden behind the sun, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

So she looked away again, rubbed Kankan's sore eyes from crying, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "K-Ke, the girl from the Ye family pointed at her nose and scolded me, saying that I had ulterior motives, that I just wanted to enter The door of the Ye family, talk about me, talk about me..." No matter how harsh the words are, there is no way to continue.

Because of the grievance, the whole person was sobbing and unable to speak smoothly, "Princess You, Princess You also said that I have tarnished the reputation of my teacher..."

"You Lingxi?" Gu Cuo finally looked down at the other party, but only saw a somewhat messy head, and there were not many accessories on the head, only a few small hairpins in the style of butterflies, which were more than flexible and extravagant Insufficient, it really doesn't look like those who have sharpened their heads and want to squeeze in.

"Hmm... Princess You seems to be on good terms with Miss Ye..."

You Lingxi...

Gucuo considers himself a gentleman, and doesn't know the same as a woman.But You Lingxi was excluded from this scope.

The fingertips resting on the rockery lightly twirled the cold and hard lines on the back, because of the disgust for that person, even the expression was cold and sneering, "Whatever they say about you is what they say? They say you want to enter Ye's house door, you really want to enter the door of the Ye family?"

Ruoshui raised his head suddenly, his red eyes were already swollen, and the eyeballs were even bigger and swollen at the moment, "How is it possible! How could I want to enter the door of Ye's house? It's not a single word..."

His eyes went straight into the eyes of the other party, but when he touched those eyes, he suddenly stopped talking.

That look... how should I put it, a little smile, a little connivance, not obvious, as if hiding behind a sea of ​​clouds and mist.Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, and then looked intently, but there was nothing left, only the usual indifference, which seemed to be just his own illusion.

Gu Cuo lowered his eyes to look at her, looking at the bravery of the newborn calf as if it had been completely wiped out by a heavy rain, looking at her, like looking at a girl who hadn't grown up at that time, her voice was A little gentle, "Since you know that you are not that kind of person, why should you doubt yourself because of their evaluation? Under such words, you can be angry and feel unfair, but you don't have to doubt yourself. What kind of person are you? , what kind of person you want to be, you should be clearer than them about this."

"If you hide and doubt yourself just because of these irresponsible rumors, it can only show that you want everyone in the world to hear your piano... This goal is not firm enough." After finishing, he step away.

Stay in place like water, thinking about it...
