Chapter 258 Marriage
You know, the prime minister's wife is very clever in her methods, and she would never make such a low-level mistake.But now, Liu Yuan must have caught something when he said so.

Liu Yuan's eyes turned cold again, as if some words were inconvenient to say.However, after all, he couldn't escape Duan Qingming's transparent eyes, he suddenly sighed slightly, and said softly: "Because of Niu Bai's matter, they are very jealous of me, and now seeing that Princess Jinxiu agreed The marriage contract with Niu Bai has also been fixed. However, Princess Splendid still circles around me, and from time to time she shows her courteousness. For this matter, they went to my father. Fortunately, my father knows my character. , So, just tell me not to get too close to Princess Splendid. But in recent days, I found that they want to put people around, so I became vigilant, but what I didn't expect was... this little servant, but made a sacrifice."

Liu Yuan's voice was very guilty.It was as if the death of that servant was completely caused by him.After hearing this, Duan Qingming fell silent in a rare way.

You know, in this big mansion, almost every family is fighting to the death.Duan Qingming expressed sympathy for what happened to Liu Yuan, but she knew better that if Liu Yuan wanted to grow up better, he had to face all of this.Because, even if it is to help, she can only help him for a while, not for a lifetime.

Liu Yuan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but he didn't know what he saw.He continued to say with a heavy tone: "That day, Princess Jinxiu brought the embroidery over, and the person who picked up the embroidery was not that little servant at all, but another one. But, early the next morning, it was reported that The news that the servant has died, don't you feel something strange about it?"

Duan Qingming was silent, not knowing how to continue.

As Liu Yuan said, when Princess Jinxiu brought the embroidery, the person who received the embroidery, for some reason, stained the embroidery with mercury, but the next day, another servant died.This matter, no matter what, is unreasonable.

However, how many things about everyone in this mansion can be explained clearly?
Isn't it all confused and foggy?The wise see through everything, but they can't tell the truth. The stupid are desperately looking for the truth, but in the end, they find that the so-called truth is not what they thought at first.

Duan Qingming was speechless, and after a while, he sighed slightly: "Did you tell Prime Minister Liu about this?"

Liu Yuan glanced at Duan Qingming indifferently: "Could it be that, do you think my father doesn't know what's going on?"

Duan Qingming only felt that his breathing was stagnant, and suddenly he couldn't say anything.

Yes, even Liu Yuan, a young man, can see something, how could Liu Zhi not see it?
However, even if Liu Zhi knew about it, he still chose to remain silent.In other words, it is not silence, but direct, ruthless ignorance.

Liu Zhi's ignorance may not only be ignoring the life and death of the servant, but more of it is his connivance, indifference, or ignorance of the almost unavoidable secret and open struggles in this big family's back house.

Liu Yuan smiled bitterly, lowered his eyes lightly, looked at Duan Qingming, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I know, I shouldn't talk to you in this tone, but I can't help it... "

His tone paused, as if he was holding back something, and after a long time, he said again: "You know, before I found my father, I was also a person living at the bottom, and I know very well the sorrow of life at the bottom. ... That little waiter may be a useless existence in the eyes of my father and even more people, but only I know that he is also a son, and he must have a father who loves him, and a mother who must also care about him relatives... But, he died just like that, and even, no one can help him get justice."

Liu Yuan spoke softly, his tone was as light as air, but there was a kind of sadness and powerlessness that almost everyone could feel... Yes, it was powerlessness, it was watching people around him die innocently, but, But he was powerless, deeply, deeply powerless.

Duan Qingming suddenly fell silent.

At that moment, she suddenly thought of the young man who had just entered Duan's mansion. Although he was dressed in commoner clothes, his eyes were clear and his temperament was elegant and outstanding. The people in the backyard of the mansion did not have a freshness with the smell of distant smoke and dust.

Such a young man has a pair of black and white eyes, as if he can only see the absolute black and white in this world.

At that time, he once taught Duan Yu the sacred words of "a man standing in the world should be upright and bright, worthy of others, worthy of his heart, and worthy of heaven".

At that time, he was once angry at Duan Qingming for plotting against Liu Rong, and he was angry. Although he forgave Duan Qingming in the end, Duan Qingming still saw a kind of love in his eyes. Straightforwardness outside of this world.

But now Liu Yuan, although his eyes are still clear and his expression is still upright, but the clarity and straightforwardness when Duan Fu first met that day have gradually disappeared.Right now, he is gentle and elegant, but also decadent and dazed, like a child who has lost his way in the dark and can no longer find the way back.

Duan Qingming suddenly sighed secretly.

People who can't tolerate sand in their eyes are not suitable to live in the backyard of everyone's house. Liu Yuan is, and many people are.

She knew that it was not Liu Yuan's fault, nor Liu Zhi's fault, nor even that Mrs. Liu's fault. Yes, in this world, everyone has their own pursuits, and everything in the world is not the same. Is the word "wrong" clear?

In the final analysis, if you really say something wrong, it should be the fault of the years and the fault of God.

Time is like a wind knife, engraving fine lines of vicissitudes on the youth's pure white forehead, and then smoothing all the edges and corners that belonged to the youth.

God, while endowing people with life and wisdom, did not forget to impose all kinds of traits such as greed, treachery, etc. on people, so Shizhang Ruanhong became what it is now.

Neither of them spoke, they just walked together quietly for a long time.

Duan Qingming came here today only for Princess Jinxiu, so he didn't bring a heater, nor did he bring Qiuning, or Yuejia.The fluctuating cold wind made Duan Qingming's body tremble, and when the cold wind blew, Duan Qingming shuddered, and Liu Yuan realized that Duan Qingming's small face under the veil had already turned purple from the cold. .

Suddenly, Liu Yuan felt sad.He took Duan Qingming's little hand, and said with some guilt: "Qingming, I'm sorry, it's so cold, but I asked you to accompany me, walking for so long... You must be very cold, right?"

Duan Qingming took out his hand calmly, and rubbed his hands together.Then he said with a smile: "What's the matter, Mr. Liu is in a bad mood, and I should be with you."

Duan Qingming lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll call you Liu Yuan!"

Liu Yuan was happy to hear that, so he responded crisply: "Hey..."

In the middle of speaking, there was a slight pause, Liu Yuan looked at Duan Qingming with some reproach, and said almost resentfully: "It will be settled in the future, and you can't call me son and son anymore. I listen, it's annoying."

Liu Yuan's tone successfully made Duan Qingming laugh, and she shook her head slightly: "Hey, it's just a title, why should you take it seriously... You know, no matter what you call me, you are always the same in my heart." Brother!"

Liu Yuan's eyes dimmed for a moment...Could it be that it's just the elder brother?

Duan Qingming tilted her head, under the hazy curtain, her smooth chin and thoughtful eyes were exposed, she was silent for a moment, and suddenly said quietly: "You know, during the time we were together, I was Will never forget."

Everything that happened in Duanfu, even all the help and encouragement that Liu Yuan gave her.

A certain string in Liu Yuan's heart suddenly trembled.He looked at Duan Qingming, and almost said the words he had prepared in one go.

Liu Yuan's eyes were very gentle.

Liu Yuan's expression was very focused.

Liu Yuan's face gradually turned red. In this bleak winter day, there was an indescribably rosy feeling.

Liu Yuan's heart was beating very fast.He looked at Duan Qingming with gentle eyes, and said softly: "Qingming, actually I..."

However, at this moment, an abrupt voice suddenly came from the front: "What are you doing?"

Liu Yuan froze suddenly, there was no way to say what he had prepared.

Duan Qingming raised her eyes, glanced at the person in front of her, and suddenly laughed: "Aunt Chuntao, why are you here?"

The person in front is indeed Chuntao.I saw that she was coming out of a pharmacy, holding a long string of herbal medicines, and in her left hand, she was also holding a pack of unknown things.At this moment, she saw Duan Qingming, with a smile on her face, but struggled to lift the thing to her left hand, and waved to Duan Qingming: "Qingming, why are you here?"

Duan Qingming took two steps forward and reached out to catch the paper bag in Chuntao's hand.However, as soon as he changed hands, Liu Yuan had already taken over.Duan Qingming quickly introduced: "Liu Yuan, this is Aunt Chuntao..."

Liu Yuan politely nodded to Aunt Chuntao, and then, in a warm and pleasant voice, said politely to Aunt Chuntao, "Hello, Aunt Chuntao..."

Liu Yuan actually didn't know Chuntao, and he hadn't heard Duan Qingming mention it either.

In this way, it's not that Duan Qingming is hiding anything.However, Duan Qingming and Chun Tao had just met when Liu Yuan met his relatives and first left Duan's mansion.Chuntao's master and servant left without saying goodbye, and when Duan Qingming returned to the mansion, he was entangled in trivial matters again.In addition, Duan Qingming is not a talkative person, and she never mentions things that have nothing to do with Liu Yuan.

Furthermore, after Liu Yuan left Duan's mansion, both he and Duan Qingming were busy, and the number of meetings was very seldom, and the number of discussions was even more limited.Therefore, it is impossible to talk about things other than life.In addition, Yan Lingyu likes to be jealous, and doesn't like the contact between Duan Qingming and Liu Yuan, so he always obstructs the two intentionally or unintentionally.Therefore, the number of contacts between the two is even less.
