Concubine like a house

Chapter 27
For the refugees, the plague caused the separation of many wives and families, like a curse.

For King Mu, the threatening plague that disturbed the imperial city was the biggest test he had faced since becoming king.

For the Yun family, the whole family remained calm and generous in this plague, and Lixinhou's mansion won the hearts of the people even more.

But for Chuxiu, this plague is just a long dream she had, and when she wakes up, she forgets all the past.If it weren't for the worry in Yun Ci's red eyes, and if it wasn't for Zhu Ying's unconcealable tiredness, she still didn't know that she had gone through a terrible life-and-death battle and almost died.

Leaning on the couch, the taste of Yu Yunci personally feeding the medicine really flattered Chuxiu.She drank the bowl of medicine restrainedly, and waited for a while, but Yun Ci had no intention of leaving, so she could only write in his palm: "I want to take a bath."

Yun Ci glanced at his palm and asked lightly, "What? I didn't see it."

Feeling helpless, Chuxiu took his hand again and wrote, "Take a bath."

Yunci raised his eyebrows in a rare way, and looked at Chuxiu: "You should still lip-synthesize, I really can't understand writing."

Chuxiu didn't know if Yunci did it on purpose, so he had to say with his red lips slightly parted, "Take a bath."

"I haven't spoken for a long time, and I won't make a sound. I can't hear it." Yun Ci looked at her calmly, with a faint expectation flashing in his eyes.

But he was in a hurry when he came out of Xiuxiu. Yunci should have understood why he needed to repeat so many times in the past.The more she thought about it, the more she felt uncomfortable with the sweat on her body, and seeing Yun Ci's expressionless face, she couldn't help but reprimanded: "You are really..."

As soon as the words came out, Yun Ci smiled slightly.Only then did Chuxiu realize it, and quickly and subconsciously covered her lips with her hands, her eyes widened in disbelief.Yunci pulled down her pair of catkins and held them firmly in his hands, coaxing in a low voice, "Say one more thing. Huh?"

Chuxiu's face was blushing, and he didn't know whether it was because of being held by the hand, or because of Yun Ci's ear-piercing coaxing.She exerted all her strength, trying to pull her hands out, but the other party's grip was extremely tight, not giving her a chance to break free.Chuxiu couldn't help lowering her eyes and biting her lips, she had forgotten the fact that she could speak, and was only focused on resisting Yun Ci's hands, trying to escape.

"If you don't speak, I won't let go." Yun Ci saw what she was thinking, and threatened with a smile in his eyes.

Chuxiu had no choice but to raise her head: "What do you want me to say?"

Yun Ci thought for a moment, and said, "How about calling me 'Mr. Yun'?"

Chuxiu was very embarrassed, biting her lower lip and refused to make a sound.

Seeing this, Yun Ci didn't force it, he just smiled and said, "I don't want to? Forget it, then I really won't let go."

I was in a hurry to get out of Xiuxiu, thinking when did this person become such a rascal?But her body had just recovered, and she couldn't use her strength at all.They were in a stalemate for a while, but Chuxiu was the first to lose, and called out with downcast eyes: "Young Master Yun."

Just these three words already made her face like peaches and plums, and she was about to blush.

Yunci had only seen the title "Young Master" in Danxin's words book before, but he didn't want to call it out of Xiukou now, it was clear and mellow, like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley.He was palpitated by this sound, and he had just recovered from a serious illness after leaving Xiuxiu, which can be regarded as double happiness.

Thinking of this, Yun Ci suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart, and he couldn't help letting go of Chuxiu's catkin, and before she could react, he wrapped his arms around her waist and placed a light kiss on her forehead.

That soft touch, as if being slid by a stream of spring water, is clear and slightly itchy, causing ripples in Chuxiu's heart.She still couldn't believe it, her pupils were full of water, she looked at Yun Ci in horror, and after a while, she realized she was struggling out of his embrace.

Yun Ci didn't force her, and let go of the situation, and said frankly: "As you think, that's exactly what I mean." His light smile was breezy, yet with an undeniable solemnity.

After leaving Xiuxiu for a long time, I realized the meaning of Izumo's words.She turned her head and didn't dare to look at him, silently brewing in her heart, said: "I don't understand what Lord Hou means."

In a word, the distance between each other was clearly opened.The bitterness in her heart overwhelmed the joy of speaking out. She said this against her will, but she didn't want to humiliate him.

Yunci didn't see any disappointment on his face, he just looked at Chuxiu fixedly and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Yeah." She lowered her eyes and tilted her head.

"Since you're telling the truth, why don't you dare look at me?" His eyes were piercing, directly hitting her heart, not giving her a chance to escape, "Chuxiu, I'm chasing Hongyuan, I've already learned your ability to say things that don't mean what you mean.”

Hearing the words, Chuxiu only leaned back, trying to stay away from Yun Ci's oppressive gaze, put his hands on his knees and said: "Master Hou is the benefactor of the servant, it is difficult for the servant to be an ox or a horse, or tie a grass to hold a ring... "

"Who allowed you to call yourself 'servant'?" Yun Ci interrupted her lightly.

"No, I..." Chuxiu felt his throat dry up for a while, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect or what, so he couldn't speak a word.

Seeing Chuxiu's avoidance like this, Yunci remembered that she had just recovered from a serious illness, and she didn't want to force her, so she could only take her time: "I am not a person who makes things difficult for others, nor a person who is merciful. Chuxiu, you know it very well."

Hearing this, Chuxiu almost buried her face in her knees, not knowing what to say.The way she curled up on the couch reminded Yun Ci of little beasts in the jungle.After being injured once, they will put on a defensive posture against the aliens. If they know that they are invincible, they will sit and wait to die.

Yunci had no choice but to ask in a low voice: "Chuxiu, is there someone you can't let go of?" He once asked her in Chasing Hongyuan, and now he asked her again, which actually meant the same thing.

Yunci was a little afraid of hearing the word "Helianqi" from Chuxiu's mouth, but after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing to be afraid of, that was before she met him.

However, Chuxiu still didn't respond in the slightest, but shrugged his shoulders slightly.

Seeing this, Yun Ci felt distressed immediately, and sighed again: "I'm the one who pushed so hard... You have to rest, I will wait."

This confession is as powerful as a thousand catties, and every word is imprinted in the bottom of Chuxiu's heart.But she can't tell whether she is sad or happy... The happy thing is that she is not wishful thinking; the sad thing is that she would rather be wishful thinking.

How should I open my mouth and mention that unbearable past to Yun Ci?She once gave her body and mind to another man, and was let down again and again. Such words are hard for Chuxiu to say.

People are selfish, she would rather reject him, would rather not respond, than tell her past, to face his disappointment, disgust, and even regret.

They clearly intend each other, but they want to cut them off, this pain is more painful than heartbreaking.Now that things have happened, how much she regrets that she once promised others so easily, and let those past events that are almost wiped out block her eyes.When it was the turn of the truly unforgettable person to appear, she could only hold her broken heart and the four words on her heart: We met each other and hated it late.

Chuxiu didn't look up, she didn't dare to face Yun Ci at this moment.She didn't dare to cry until she heard the rumbling of the wheelchair and Yunci's breath became farther and farther away.It seemed that only in this way could she obtain painful and cruel comfort.

Chuxiu cried recklessly, until the thin quilt between her knees was soaked from crying, then changed to sobbing, then sobbed, and finally raised her head.

Eye Wind caught a glimpse of a familiar white shadow, from a familiar person.Before Chuxiu had time to react, Yunci had clamped her jaw with one hand, preventing her from burying her head in the quilt again.

He didn't leave!Can't tell whether it's shame or anger, tears are hanging from the corners of Chuxiu's eyes, and he feels ashamed to face Yun Ci, so he can only close his eyes tightly.

Warm fingers gently brushed her face, wiping away tears for her.Knowing that she was annoyed, Yun Ci explained in a low voice: "If I don't do this, I'm afraid you will never raise your head." His slender fingers slowly slid across Chuxiu's long eyelashes, soaking his face. Refers to water marks, just like the misty rain in March of Nanxi, which can dye the sky into blue and the clear sky like washing.

"If you really hardened your heart to me, why did you cry so sadly just now?" Yun Ci's question was light and shallow, but it was able to confuse people's hearts. "At least let me know why you refused to respond?"

Chuxiu insisted on biting her lip and closing her eyes, indifferent.

Yun Ci was extremely helpless: "You want me to say something nice to coax a girl, but I really don't know how to say it. Now I'm stumped." As if talking to himself, he looked at Chuxiu and continued to ask, "You won't even look at me?"

Chuxiu was unmoved.

Yun Ci laughed, and coughed lightly: "Then I order you as the master, let me ask you, you don't have to open your mouth, just nod or shake your head, okay?" Then he seemed to think of something, and added, "No Against your will, don't lie to me."

Chuxiu's long eyelashes flickered slightly, but she finally nodded.

"Do you have someone else in your heart?" It was still this question, and it was also a question Yun Ci was eager to know the answer to.

Chuxiu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head firmly.

Yunci smiled sincerely: "Is that mean to me? Not at all?"

This time, Chuxiu was in a stalemate, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

"Your attitude has already told me the answer." The joy in Yun Ci's words could not be concealed.He didn't care whether Chuxiu opened his eyes or not, and whether he could hear her, he just bombarded her ears on his own: "You don't have someone in your heart, and you don't mean to me. The man is unmarried, and the woman is unmarried, so why are you crying?"

Chuxiu choked and refused to answer.

"Do you remember the song "Zhu Xian Duan"?" Speaking of this poem, Yunci was very emotional. It was clearly a poem written by another man for her, but it fulfilled his feelings for her and cleared up his doubts. His compliments on her piano skills.

Speaking of "Zhu Xian Duan", Yun Ci finally saw Chuxiu open his eyes as he wished.She dodged in embarrassment, and that heartbroken look made Yunci unable to bear to uncover her bloody old wound.

Originally, he wanted to tell her about this poem that he already knew that she was Han Chu.But at the end of the conversation, Yunci temporarily changed his mind and said with a smile: "When you came to me to taste the poem that day, you wrote a sentence - 'It is a miracle to find a pair of people who know each other in this world' .”

He paused for a moment, carefully observed the changes in her expression, and continued: "Chuxiu, you and I are obviously a miracle in this world, why don't you want to make it happen? It's not that we don't know each other, nor can we stay together."

Know each other, stay together... what a luxury word.Chuxiu murmured silently in his mouth, only felt that the person and scene in front of him were like a wonderful dream, so unreal.He actually likes himself and wants to know each other, but how can he be worthy of such affection?
Chuxiu lowered her eyes, but she still didn't want to deceive Yunci. After deliberating for a while, she mustered up the courage, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Hou, I am an unclean person, I... am not worthy..." The last two words, she To put it mildly.

"What's unworthy? Or do you think I have a disability?" Yunci replied calmly, "I have struggled for a long time, and I don't want this body to drag you down. But this time, I want to be selfish. I have the confidence to be better than ordinary people. It makes you more happy, just like you could make me happy even if you didn't know how to speak before."

"No, it's not..." Hearing this, Chuxiu's tears rolled down again, and he shook his head vigorously, "Master Hou, I... am not perfect..."

As soon as these words came out, Chuxiu didn't hear Yunci's response again.The long silence made her gradually stop crying. It was obviously the expected ending, but she was still uncontrollably lost.Chuxiu turned his face away, endured his pain and continued to explain: "Don't get me wrong, it's not Young Master..."

At this point, she finally couldn't continue, so she looked at the face that looked like a heavenly man, and begged: "Please leave me a little bit of dignity, and please...don't say any more..."

Facing Chuxiu's dodge, Yun Ci was silent for a long time before solemnly answering: "Maybe I am usually too mild-tempered, you don't know yet, the things I believe will never be easily changed."

He held Chuxiu's hands as he spoke, wanting to give her stability in this world: "The things in the past are beyond our control. I should thank that person. Without him, how would you meet me?"

"If you want to regret and blame yourself, it shouldn't be you. I didn't meet you earlier. Fortunately, it's not too late, is it?" He explained patiently, his words were like the spring breeze in April, warm and warm.

Among the women in the world, no one would be indifferent to this affectionate confession.What's more, as early as when Chuxiu lost its voice, this leading edge was already doomed.Chuxiu cried again, but this time, she shed tears of joy.

"'Don't underestimate knights, don't underestimate alliances with beauties, I'm afraid they will die for me.' Chuxiu, I understand this truth."

A lingering whisper can also be sonorous and powerful, and the world is frightened to stand still at this moment.The two people who hugged each other tightly finally got their destiny to each other.

No matter how beautiful the pen and ink are, it is difficult to write them all, but this moment is the light of day.

It was four days after Chuxiu returned to the Marquis of Lixin's mansion.During these four days, Yun Ci has been with her and took good care of her. All the affairs of the mansion were sent to other courtyards by Kuai Ma, and submitted to Yun Ci for decision.

Chuxiu was worried that this move would arouse the dissatisfaction of Mrs. Tai, and she also persuaded Yunci to return to the mansion. After several times of persuasion, the two finally took a step back. After four days of raising her, Chuxiu insisted on returning to Zhiyanxuan .During this period, Mrs. Tai did not send anyone to urge her, nor did she say a single word, which made Chuxiu very uneasy.On the day she returned home, she originally wanted to go to Rongjin Hall to plead guilty, but was declined by Chi's mother.

Chi's mother clearly ordered her to take care of her on the grounds that she was not recovering; but Chuxiu was very clear about the real reason for her refusal.It's just that she never thought that she would become a "disaster" one day.

However, the anxiety of being treated coldly by Mrs. Tai has not yet passed, and Chuxiu was distracted by another incident.

It turned out that the day after she was infected with the epidemic and went to another hospital, a maid died in the Jinlu Hall of the second master Yunqi, and it was Yueju.Mrs. Tai saw that the epidemic had spread to the inner courtyard of Yunfu, so she made a decisive decision and ordered that all the courtyards where Chuxiu and Yueju lived were burned, and the fire was strictly controlled to prevent it from spreading.
