Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 86
Duke of Chu.

A butterfly with light yellow wings flew over lightly. Lu Mingyu was sitting on a bench on the east side of the gazebo, chatting with Wan Shu, the niece of Queen Wan, about a new troupe in the capital, but her eyes were attracted by this butterfly.There are so many colors of butterflies, Lu Mingyu has always been fond of the goose yellow ones, and thinks that color is like the fresh and bright winter jasmine flowers by the river, just looking at them makes one's spirits shake.

Wan Shu followed her gaze and saw the butterfly. The little girl held her breath and suddenly stretched out her hand to catch it.

Not caught, the butterfly flew away in a panic.

Wan Shu turned around, Lu Mingyu looked at her, and the next moment, both of them laughed.

"Sister Ah Nuan, you're so pretty." After laughing enough, Wan Shu tilted her head to look at Lu Mingyu, boasting a little enviously.

Lu Mingyu froze for a moment, looking at Wan Shu's clear almond eyes, but a scene from her previous life flashed in her mind. It was also at a flower feast. She and her second sister were strolling slowly along the garden path, and bumped into Wan Shu and her companions. At that time, Wan Shu had already fallen in love with Chu Sui, so she naturally disliked her, and satirized her strangely.

"We all look good." Lu Mingyu coaxed with a smile.

Wan Shu giggled, she was a little thirsty, so she asked Lu Mingyu to sit down first, and she went to drink tea at the stone table.

Lu Mingyu turned her head and continued to look at the scenery outside the gazebo.

"Sister Ah Nuan."

Chu Ying's voice sounded next to her ear, and Lu Mingyu turned back with a smile.It was Chu Ying's birthday today, and she was very beautifully dressed, like a budding flower. Lu Mingyu had already given gifts to her before, and after glancing at the other little girls, Lu Mingyu patted the seat beside her, motioning for Chu Ying to sit down.

She wanted to ask Chu Ying what gifts she had received, but Chu Ying looked at her with some trepidation, "Sister Ah Nuan, did you lose a purse?"

Lu Mingyu was surprised, and asked puzzledly: "Why do you say that?"

Chu Ying's small face gradually turned pale, and there was a trace of grievance in her big watery eyes. She looked at Lu Mingyu for a moment, then lowered her head, "It's nothing." When speaking, she stuffed something into her left sleeve pocket with her right hand. When it arrived, it seemed to be a purse, Chu Ying moved too fast, Lu Mingyu only caught a glimpse of the three yuan that seemed to be embroidered on the purse.

The smile on the corner of Lu Mingyu's mouth froze, her thoughts turned sharply, and she said as if she remembered something: "By the way, Ganlu's purse is gone, it seems to be a three-dollar winner, did Yingying see it?"

Hearing what she said, Chu Ying's face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, she nodded with a blushing face, handed the purse in her hand to Lu Mingyu, and said softly: "Second brother picked it up, he said that he seemed to see sister Ah Nuan wearing it, and let her wear it. I'll help you and return it to you, it turns out that the second brother made a mistake."

Last time the second brother coaxed her to lie to Sister Ah Nuan, and ended up angering Sister Ah Nuan. Chu Ying blamed herself and was unhappy, and ignored her second brother for several days. The second brother kept pestering her and vowed never to do it again. It was only after she lied to her that Chu Ying forgave her second brother.Just now, the second brother asked her to help return the purse, and he said it seriously, Chu Ying was dubious, and decided to test whether sister Ah Nuan had lost the purse, unexpectedly, she almost wronged the second brother this time.

"Sister Ah Nuan, please return the purse to Ganlu. Xiangxiang called me, and I'll go over there." After one matter of concern was resolved, Chu Ying left happily.

Lu Mingyu pinched the brand-new, unfamiliar purse in her hand, feeling something was wrong, she turned around, and secretly unwrapped the purse, only to find that there was a white silk handkerchief rolled up close to the purse inside.While there was no one around, Lu Mingyu took out the handkerchief, unfolded it, and evened it out. The small but clear handwriting on it was written by Chu Sui himself:
"I would like to tell you the truth about Yue Yang's matter, and if there is even half a lie, the world will not tolerate it.

Afterwards, if your heart does not change, you will not disturb me any more.Listen to Zhuxuan, be there or be square. "

In just a few sentences, concise and to the point.

After reading it, Lu Mingyu immediately put Si Pasai back into her purse and put it in her sleeve.Nearby were the laughter of the little girls, Lu Mingyu leaned against the red lacquered pavilion pillars, and unconsciously cast her gaze in the direction of Tingzhuxuan.She is very familiar with the Duke of Chu's mansion. In her previous life, she and Chu Sui went to listen to the bamboo pavilion many times to enjoy the cool air. The breeze was blowing and the sound of bamboo was faint. The husband and wife walked hand in hand in the bamboo forest.

I would like to tell you the truth about Yue Yang... Could it be that there is still some difficulty in his personal relationship with Dong Yue'er?
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Lu Mingyu's mouth. Dong Yue'er's son was so similar to Chu Sui. She didn't feel that she had wronged Chu Sui. If he didn't like someone, why would a big man hold a woman's hand intimately and enjoy the Dongting?

Lu Mingyu would never go to the appointment just to listen to what Chu Sui said about him and Dong Yueer, but Chu Sui was finally willing to tell her the truth. Did she tell Chu Sui that she cared about him and Dong Yueer? Let Chu Sui know that even if he treats her honestly, she will never like him again, let alone marry him again, will Chu Sui really give up?
Cousin Xiao Huan has let go, Chu Sui is easier to reason than cousin, maybe, she and Chu Sui really don't need to be entangled in this life.

Looking at the sleeves, Lu Mingyu's eyes became firm. She and Chu Sui must have a good talk sooner or later, otherwise Chu Sui will always try to find her.As for whether it is dangerous to go to the appointment, Lu Mingyu is very relieved. Chu Sui may play tricks on people, but Chu Sui is definitely not a playboy who bullies men and women. Before the two got married in the previous life, they met occasionally. .

There is a lush bamboo forest on the north side of the garden of the Duke's Mansion, which covers a wide area. If you walk a few steps inside, you will not be able to see it from the outside.

Tingzhuxuan is located in the middle of the bamboo forest, it is a small two-story building, Chu Sui and Chu Ying came here immediately after they separated.After checking upstairs and downstairs to make sure there was no one there, Chu Sui ordered Agui to find a hidden place outside the bamboo forest to hide. Lu Mingyu's master and servant are allowed to come over, and no one else is allowed to enter.

Ready, Chu Sui stood in Yaju on the first floor, pushed open the carved window, and sat under the window, leaning against the back of the chair with his eyes closed and rested.

Whether Lu Mingyu will come or not, Chu Sui is not very sure, but it is rare for Lu Mingyu to be a guest at home today, he has to give it a try, otherwise it is uncertain when the next time we will see each other, and talking outside, it is better to be at ease in his own territory.

Lin Feng came in with a fresh bamboo breath, Chu Sui looked peaceful, as if he had fallen asleep, until he heard two soft footsteps, Chu Sui moved his eyes, straightened up, turned his head and looked out the window.Among the lush bamboos, Lu Mingyu walked over unhurriedly in a white dress. Her cheeks were fair and her eyebrows were picturesque, but the beauty's expression was indifferent and desolate.

Chu Sui was drunk.

She is only thirteen, and she has such a fascinating beauty at thirteen, what kind of beauty will it be in two years?

There is no man who does not love beauty, but there are thousands and thousands of beauties. Before Lu Mingyu, Chu Sui had seen too many beauties, including Lu Mingyu's mother. The only thing that made his heart skip a beat was this one who was walking towards him. bit.He was amazed by Lu Mingyu's appearance, and he liked her delicate and sweet face, her sweet voice, and her cunning and agile temper.

Chu Sui stood up and walked towards the door.

Lu Mingyu saw him, and signaled Ganlu to wait at the same place. She walked towards the Tingzhu Pavilion alone, and when she was almost in front of the Tingzhuxuan, she said to Chu Sui in a cold voice, "You are in the house, I am outside, let's talk through the window." Ganlu She is her confidant maid who listens to her and will definitely keep her secret, but Lu Mingyu doesn't want Ganlu to misunderstand her intimate behavior with Chu Sui, so it is impossible for Lu Mingyu and Chu Sui to stay alone in the bamboo house.

After finishing speaking, Lu Mingyu didn't even look at Chu Sui, and stopped in front of the window facing Ganlu.

The beauty's face was as cold as frost, Chu Sui wanted to please her, so he had to listen to her, and walked around the window with a wry smile.

Lu Mingyu stood sideways to the bamboo window, and glanced at him lightly, "Second Young Master, do you count? After today, as long as I don't want to see you, you won't pester me anymore?"

"I'm just annoying you like that?" Chu Sui stood in the window, looking at the cold face of the little girl across the way, genuinely confused.

Lu Mingyu turned to the bamboo forest, and answered him with actions.

Chu Sui sighed, knowing that Lu Mingyu didn't have much time for him, and he would definitely have to go back to the little girls in a while, Chu Sui stopped making detours and looked at Lu Mingyu seriously, with a trace of nostalgia in his phoenix eyes, "Ah Nuan, you It can be denied, but if I'm not wrong, you gave me that purse back then because you liked me, didn't you?"

He missed Lu Mingyu's kindness to him back then, and the little girl's sweet "Second Brother". Although Lu Mingyu's face was unmoved, his heart was infected by his sad tone, and his thoughts uncontrollably returned to that day.Do you like him?It must be. If she didn't like it, why would she secretly embroider a purse for him stitch by stitch?How could it be that when he suddenly remembered that he was going to travel and study abroad, his heart suddenly felt empty, and how could he hear his voice from a distance, and his heart beat faster, and the corners of his lips turned up?
"Ah Nuan, you were seven years old that year, and I was 14 years old. In my eyes, you were just a child, my niece who turned a few corners. I like you, the way I like children. I treat you as a child." Child, I never thought that you might like me." Chu Sui took a step forward, thinking of the two years when he left the capital, his eyes became complicated, "A Nuan, if I knew I would like you when I grow up, in Yueyang, we I will never touch Dong Yueer."

Touching Dong Yueer...

Hearing Chu Sui's confession with her own ears, hearing her previous husband's confession that he had a concubine, the figure of Dong Yue'er holding hands with Chu Sui suddenly popped up in Lu Mingyu's mind, and the figure of Dong Yue'er holding a beautiful boy appeared in Lu Mingyu's mind.She thought that if she didn't like Chu Sui, she wouldn't mind, but Lu Mingyu still felt wronged.Once she liked him so much, trusted him so much, she wholeheartedly...

Tears came too fast, and slid down her face, causing a slight itchiness, before Lu Mingyu realized that she was crying.

She turned around quickly, not wanting Chu Sui to see her.

But Chu Sui saw it, and really saw her crying for him. The tears came so quickly, which showed that she cared about this matter.The guess in the bottom of my heart was confirmed, and thinking back to the petite figure of Lu Mingyu fainted in her mother's arms that day, Chu Sui's heart felt like being hit by a heavy hammer, with uncontrollable self-blame and pity.

He still didn't understand why Lu Mingyu liked him so much, but she really liked him, and then he hurt her.

"A Nuan, can you give me another chance?" Chu Sui grabbed the window edge and looked at her thin back eagerly, afraid that if she spoke too late, she would not know how regretful he was, "A Nuan, I was wrong. I'm sorry, I was young at the time, my will was not firm, and I didn't understand your mind early, but I promise, from now on, I will only have you in my heart, and I will never touch any woman again. Ah Nuan, I just ask you to give I have a chance, you watch, I will definitely do what I say."

Lu Mingyu turned her back to him, shedding tears silently, she couldn't tell why she was crying.

"A Nuan, don't you cry? I really regret it." Chu Sui knew she was crying, and in a hurry, he lifted his foot and was about to climb out the window.

"You stand still!" Hearing his intention, Lu Mingyu reprimanded him in a low voice, but still didn't turn around.

"A Nuan..." Chu Sui didn't dare not listen, his eyes were fixed on her slightly turned side face, he was burning with anxiety, "A Nuan, what should I do to forgive me? As long as you tell me, I will listen to everything your."

Lu Mingyu took a deep breath, and looked at the layers of bamboo tops that were blown by the wind like waves.The part of Chu Sui's heart is empty. She liked him and was hurt by him. It took her three years to recover from that injury. After returning to Beijing, she met a real gentleman, a man who stands up to heaven and earth. .She doesn't care about Chu Sui anymore, and it's hard to say whether she will forgive him or not.

But Lu Mingyu did have a question for him to answer, "Second Young Master, if I hadn't been to Yueyang, I didn't know about your relationship with Dong Yueer, and later you liked me again, would you confess everything to me?"

Chu Sui was stunned.

Lu Mingyu turned around slowly, her eye circles were a little red, but her gaze was clear and firm.

Facing such eyes, Chu Sui couldn't go against his will. He looked away, remained silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "No, I'm afraid that if I say it, you will dislike me, and you will run away because of a woman I regret touching. Me, never talk to me again."

Not only would he not, he would try his best to hide it, not reveal any clues, and not let that humble woman affect him and Lu Mingyu in the slightest.Chu Sui was not stupid, he knew that Lu Mingyu would not be satisfied with such an answer, but he had lied to her once in Yueyang, this time Chu Sui didn't want to hide it anymore.

The man's voice was low, Lu Mingyu smiled softly, Chu Sui finally told the truth, he did do this in his previous life, it sounds reasonable and understandable, but Chu Sui only thought about himself, where did he put her? land?
"Then have you ever thought that maybe one day Dong Yue'er will come to Beijing and find me in front of me, and even bring your flesh and blood, a beautiful child who looks exactly like you. At that time, how do you treat their mother and child? What did you do to me?"

Speaking of grievances and sorrows, Lu Mingyu's voice choked up again, she knew in her heart that the previous life was the previous life, and this life is the present life, and it was meaningless to say these things, but she just couldn't hold it back!In her previous life, she didn't have a chance to ask Chu Sui clearly, so she could only vent to Chu Sui who was still trying to ask her for forgiveness.

Chu Sui raised his head in shock.

Tears welled up in Lu Mingyu's eyes, she couldn't see him clearly, the man across from her was vaguely overlapped with her husband from her previous life, Lu Mingyu tried her best to hold back her tears, and asked him again, "You only think about yourself, but you don't care when you touch Dong Yue'er?" Be responsible, say you like me but refuse to tell the truth, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, have you ever thought about it, in the future I will learn that the husband who loves me so much actually has a concubine and a son, I How sad will you be?"

"A Nuan..."

Chu Sui panicked, watching her tears rolling down, as if what she said was true, he felt innocent, felt that she shouldn't remember things that didn't happen to him, and felt inexplicably guilty, as if He really hurt her so badly.

"Ah Nuan..." Chu Sui was at a loss, so he could only call her beggingly, begging her to wake up from her imagination, begging her not to cry.

Lu Mingyu couldn't help crying. She died so wrongly in her previous life, and now she finds that she believed in the wrong person. These grievances are all related to Chu Sui, but no matter how many tears shed, they will run out. After crying enough, her vision becomes clear again. Looking at the dazed man in the window, Lu Mingyu suddenly smiled.

She wiped her eyes, raised her head again, her face was as if the wind and rain had passed, and only the clouds were calm and breezy, "Second Young Master, as you can see, I am a person who likes to think wildly. I liked you when I was young, but when I learned that you are around After I had Miss Dong, I completely gave up on you. As for your youth and ignorance, I don't hate you, after all, you and I have nothing to do, and the second son doesn't have to feel sorry for me, but my memory is too good, I can't forget Miss Dong, If I can't let go, I can't be emotional with you anymore, so I have to live up to the kindness of the Second Young Master. After today, there will be no relationship between you and me, I hope the Second Young Master will do what he says, and stop entanglement in the future."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"A Nuan!" Chu Sui became anxious, turned over and quickly stopped in front of her, "A Nuan..."

Lu Mingyu took a step back, avoiding his outstretched hand, and stared at him coldly, "Chu Sui, if you keep your promises like this, then we won't even be able to make friends."

Her eyes were as cold as a cold lake, Chu Sui subconsciously withdrew her hand, but her eyes were filled with complicated reluctance, "Ah Nuan, I can't change the past no matter how I regret it, but I really like you, you..." She is so nice , She likes him so much, Chu Sui had always admired him, but now that he learned that Lu Mingyu was infatuated with him, Chu Sui felt that as long as he tried harder, she would forgive him.

"But I don't like things that have been touched."

After all the reasoning, he still refused to let go, Lu Mingyu clenched his cuffs tightly, and for the first time in two lifetimes deliberately hurt others.

Something that has been touched?
Chu Sui's face turned pale, and he looked at her in disbelief, with anger in his phoenix eyes.Men have three wives and four concubines as a matter of course. Since ancient times, only men have despised unclean women so much. How can it be said that men are unclean?He likes Lu Mingyu, and never thought of taking a concubine again. He regrets blaming himself for being confused at the beginning, but he doesn't feel that he has become unclean after touching Dong Yue'er!
The man's face changed from red to white, Lu Mingyu knew he was angry, but she didn't care, and when Chu Sui froze, she walked around him and left quickly.

Chu Sui turned around with a sullen face, her indifferent back and raging anger could be seen in her phoenix eyes.

Listening to the second floor of Zhuxuan, someone was hiding behind the window, watching the figure in the white dress go further and further away, he closed his eyes, and sighed silently.

It turned out that in her previous life, she had lived so hard and suffered so much grievance.
