Concubine like a house

Chapter 34
The two parties were silent to each other, keeping everything in their hearts.But Zhuying and Danxin looked at it every day, and they were really indescribably uncomfortable.

There was still no expression on Chuxiu's face, but she reached out to wipe Danxin's tears: "I didn't cry, why are you crying?" After saying that, she gently turned over and lay down, "I'm a little tired, take a nap."

"Go to sleep." Danxin sat in front of the couch without moving, watching Chuxiu and slowly closing her eyes.The two of them were sitting one by one and lying down, and it was unknown how long it took until Chuxiu's breathing was even and steady, Danxin let out a low, barely audible sigh, got up and blew out the candle, and walked out of the room.

The door opened and closed again with little movement.Chuxiu who was on the couch opened her eyes in a daze at this moment, but there was no trace of sleepiness or tiredness in her eyes.The sound of silk and bamboo was getting louder in her ears, she got up and put on her embroidered shoes, looking for a more remote place, where she could not hear the firecrackers, let alone the noisy guests.

After all, it was September, and it was night again, and there was still a hint of coolness outside the house.Chuxiu tightened his clothes and walked out of Zhiyan Pavilion with light steps, not knowing where he was going.At this moment, there is only one feeling in her heart - stay away from that bustling place.

Walking aimlessly like this, until the surrounding environment gradually became quiet, and the red silk bound on the tree branches could not be seen, she seemed to have calmed down a little.The evening wind sent bursts of fragrance of flowers into the nostrils, with a faint smell of alcohol, and a low sigh.

Chuxiu raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but saw a man in purple and brocade robe leaning wantonly on the bluestone bench under the smudged yellow moonlight, pouring wine with his head raised.That figure, indescribably romantic and lonely.

"Since we met by fate, why don't you have a drink with me?" The young man in purple didn't look sideways, but his faintly shining eyes were very sharp, and he could see Chuxiu's white clothes from a distance.

Since meeting Yunci, Chuxiu has also started to like wearing white.Although today, this white dress is a celebration of a big wedding, but she doesn't care too much when she is alone.It's just that I didn't expect that this is a secluded place in Yunfu, and there are outsiders.

Chuxiu thought for a moment and decided to avoid it, so he didn't answer, turned around and went back on the way.

"Meeting is worse than meeting by chance. I am not a scourge. What is the girl hiding?" The voice of the young man in purple rang out behind her, with a bit of calmness and desolation, but the words he said were so frivolous and passionate.

Chuxiu lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then turned around again.This time, the young man in purple had turned his head to look sideways, but he still kept his leaning posture.His right hand holding the flagon rested on his protruding knee, with a carefree and unrestrained temperament.

Looking through the hazy moonlight, the man's handsome face can be vaguely seen out of Chuxiu.She looks very young, revealing three points of evil charm and five points of uprightness, and the remaining two points of wantonness and laziness.Only the purple robe and golden crown showed a hidden arrogance under the bright moonlight, and his status should be either rich or noble.

I don't want to know, this person must be the honored guest of Yunci's wedding, but I don't know why he came here to drink alone?Chuxiu remembered that his status was very embarrassing and it was inconvenient to meet guests, so he thought for a while and replied: "Your guest should go back to the banquet hall quickly, lest the absence of the seat will make the attendants worry."

As soon as the words fell, a light sneer followed, and the young man in purple smiled back: "The implication is, why don't you say that I have lost my manners and neglected Yunfu."

"Your guest is too worried, I don't mean that." Chuxiu didn't explain much, just said lightly, "Retire."

"Is the girl from Lixinhou's mansion?" the purple-clothed young man asked again.

Out of Xiu by default.

"Since you are a member of the Hou family, you dare to wear white today, and you are not afraid of offending Mrs. Xie?" Although the young man in purple said so, the ridicule and irony in his words were not insignificant.

It seems that this person in front of him is not friendly with Yun Shi, at least he is not very friendly with Mrs. Tai.Chu Xiu thought so in his heart, and felt that he should keep a distance from him, so he bowed slightly and wanted to say goodbye.

There was a crisp sound of "crack", and the tiles shattered to the ground.The young man in purple threw the jug in his hand on the ground casually, got up from the bluestone bench and said with a smile: "It's been a while since I've been out, it's time to go back. This garden is big, please show me the way?" Walking in the direction of Xiu.

It was only then that Chuxiu discovered that the young man in purple was holding a musical instrument in his hand, which looked like a flute but not a flute, a flute but not a flute, the moonlight was too dim, half of the musical instrument was hidden in the shadows, so he couldn't see clearly.When he got closer, the young master's face showed a coquettish look, which she couldn't ignore.

Before Chuxiu had time to react, the other party had already admired her and stopped at the same time. He was obviously intimidated by her beauty.

Chuxiu looked at the astonishment in those handsome eyes, and saw that this man was really young, and his heart was that of a playboy.Even so, she didn't dare to say anything, she just took a step back, kept a moderate distance and said in a low voice: "Out of this garden, head east all the way, five in and three turns away."

The young man in purple seemed to have come to his senses just now, he didn't know if he was talking to himself, or he was deliberately trying to teach Chuxiu to hear it, and sighed with a smile: "Young lady looks familiar..."

This way of striking up a conversation is really not very good, Chuxiu sneered slightly in her heart, and forced a smile: "Your guest, please go ahead." After saying that, she lowered her eyes and turned around, regardless of the phrase "Wait a minute, girl" coming from behind, and walked away quickly.

Because a chance encounter with the young man in purple disturbed her mood of strolling out of Xiuxiu, she had no choice but to return to Zhiyanxuan.As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he saw lights in his room.At this moment, the door of the house opened with a "squeak", and a charming woman pushed the door out, and asked urgently, "Chuxiu! Where have you been?" It was indifferent.

Chuxiu smiled remorsefully: "I've taught you to worry for nothing. I'm lying in bed uncomfortably. Let's go out for a walk." She walked into the room as she spoke, trying to liven up the atmosphere, "Why, do you think I will do stupid things?"

"What stupid thing?" Someone suddenly picked up the conversation, the voice was very familiar, it was...

"Young Master!" Chu Xiu looked at the lake blue figure under the dim candlelight.Not seeing each other for nearly a year, Shen Yu seems to be a little more mature and upright, and his previous frivolous appearance has also eased a lot.This time, Chuxiu smiled sincerely. The joy of seeing her old friend made her temporarily forget those sorrows, as if she had never conceived, and Yunci had never married another.

"Why is the young master here?" As soon as the words came out, Chuxiu knew that he had asked more.With the friendship between Shen Yu and Yun Ci, how could he not come to attend his wedding ceremony today?

Shen Yu had no intention of answering, his tall and straight figure hinted of intoxication, he just stared at Chuxiu: "You're thinner." This question was ordinary, but it was very kind to Chuxiu's ears, and even more so. Impressed.

"Little Hou Ye heard that your throat disease was cured, so he sneaked out in the middle of the banquet, wanting to see you. I didn't know you were not in the room." Danxin explained in a timely manner.

Chuxiu also guessed the cause and effect, so he could only thank Shen Yu: "Thank you, Young Master, for remembering."

There was no smile on Shen Yu's face, he just looked at her: "I originally thought that holding it would make you speak, so I must have taken good care of you, but you are so haggard!" With some dissatisfaction.

Yes, how can you not be haggard?The pregnancy was less than a month old, and it hurt her vitality, but she still hasn't recovered.But she couldn't say this to Shen Yu, she just said perfunctorily: "I was infected with the plague a few days ago, and my body hasn't been very well since I recovered."

"Really?" Shen Yu asked softly, with a bit of straightforwardness, "I thought you were hurt because you wanted to get married."

Hearing this, Chuxiu paused and smiled again: "It's been a long time since I saw you, and the young master made fun of me again. Why, haven't you had enough trouble chasing Hongyuan before?"

"Not enough." She was originally joking, but Shen Yu replied so solemnly.

This made Chuxiu speechless.

"I'll find out for you." Shen Yu couldn't see Xiu's haggard face in the end, and he stretched out his hand to pinch her bright wrist.

"Young Master!" Before Chuxiu had time to refuse, Danxin had already uttered a voice to stop him.But in the end it was a step too late, Shen Yu had already firmly grasped Chuxiu's pulse and began to make a diagnosis.For a moment, his face became darker and darker, and finally it was as gloomy as a dark night.

The house fell into a strange and uneasy state, Chuxiu's mind went blank, Danxin was a guilty conscience for no reason, only the sound of Shen Yu's breathing getting heavier and heavier could be heard.

"Danxin, you go out. I have something to say to Chuxiu alone." Shen Yu suddenly glanced at Danxin and said.

"Young Master...Chuxiu is a woman after all, I'm afraid...it doesn't fit with reason." In the dead of night, he hesitated a little.

"Get out!" Shen Yu repeated again, the first time he was so stern towards Danxin, his eyes were almost red, like a man-eating beast.

"Young Lord." Chu Xiu softly comforted him, then turned to wink at Danxin, and said with a smile, "Young Lord is my former master, what are you worried about?"

Danxin was also frightened by Shen Yu's look, and turned around and backed out with a jump in her heart.She felt ominous, afraid that she would not be able to control Shen Yu, so she ran to the banquet hall after she left the door, wanting to find Zhuying for help.

In Chuxiu's house, there was already faint anger emanating, Shen Yu fastened the latch on the door, turned around and asked, "Whose child?"

"What?" Chuxiu opened her eyes wide and clear, with a slight smile on her lips, but it was very forced.

Shen Yu obviously didn't buy it, and his eyes fell on her bright wrist: "Your pulse is clearly a miscarriage." He pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Was it held?"

Chuxiu looked evasive, didn't deny it, just said: "I was given an aphrodisiac, and he wanted to save me..."

"Really?" Shen Yu stared at her, "He knows this child?"

Chuxiu remained silent.

Shen Yu sneered: "I asked knowingly... He let you beat me?"

Chu Xiu only bit his lip, turned his face away and said: "This child came at a bad time."

"Not the time?" Shen Yu sneered, "Did he come to provoke you knowing that he was going to get married, or did he decide to get married after provoking you?"

The voice fell, and no one answered for a long time.

Seeing this, Shen Yu's heart twitched violently, and he almost gnashed his teeth to make a conclusion: "The former is a beast, and the latter is worse than a beast!"

"Young Lord, how could you..." Chuxiu was a little annoyed when he heard the words, "You are Lord Hou's best friend, so you shouldn't say that about him."

"Are you still helping him now?" Shen Yu felt a chill in his heart, resentful and sad at the same time, "He is still married at this time, and doesn't care about you?!"
