When we came out of Chen Mansion, it was already late at night.
Chen Mianguan personally escorted Pei Chuchu back to Changlexuan. Two green gauze lanterns were lit in the carriage, illuminating their quiet faces. Because of the silence between each other, they seemed quite aloof.
I don't know how long it took, but Chen Mianguan finally couldn't help but speak first: "Chuchu, we made an agreement two years ago. Although we are a fake couple, we will never expose our secrets to outsiders. But now you don't seem to want to be with me anymore. continue."
Pei Chuchu held the tea cup and looked at it carefully.
Last year, she spent a lot of money to buy the celadon tea set of the former dynasty from a wealthy merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. The flower and bird patterns were exquisite and delicate, no worse than those used by the imperial palace. She liked it very much.
She took a sip of tea gracefully, with a smile on her lips: "Don't you know why you don't want to continue? What's more those words about Zhong Qing Tonight, are they very exciting to you? Make peace with me and marry another Zhong Qing. Is it possible? Isn¡¯t it your best choice?¡±
Chen Mianguan suddenly clenched his fists.
The girl¡¯s voice was soft and sweet, and her seemingly casual words penetrated his heart.
It made him lose all face.
He didn't want to be seen as a freeloader by Pei Chuchu, so he bit the bullet and said: "I, Chen Mianguan, are by no means a person who wants to change his mind. No matter how good I am in love, I can't do anything to divorce my wife and marry another. Chuchu, it's been two years. Now, can¡¯t you see clearly that I am a kind-hearted person?¡±
???????????????????????????????????????????????
Pei Chuchu lowered his head to drink tea and suppressed the raised corners of his mouth.
"How can someone like Chen Mianguan still be kind-hearted?"
? Then she, Pei Chuchu, is a living Bodhisattva.
She thought and said seriously: "Even if you don't want to divorce your wife and marry another, I have had enough of your family. Mr. Chen, it's time for us to part ways."
Chen Mianguan stared at the girl in front of him.
The girl's face was charming and charming. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. Two years ago, he thought he could easily take her into his possession and make her devoted to him. But two years later, she was still as helpless as the moon over the mountain. close.
A feeling of frustration spread in my heart, and soon it turned into shame and anger.
Chen Mianguan spoke righteously: "You are from a humble background. My family is being polite by allowing you to come in. How can you dare to ask for too much? What's more, you are a junior. Isn't it right for juniors to respect their elders? In ancient times, there was a person who lay on the ice to beg for carp. I don¡¯t ask Caiyi Yuqin for your wonderful talk, but you have to give the minimum respect to my mother, right? As an elder, what can she do if she scolds you?"
Both inside and outside his words put Pei Chuchu in an unfilial position.
It seems that all the faults are hers alone.
Pei Chuchu glanced at him.
I feel more and more that this man¡¯s heart is not worthy of his skin.
She stroked the tea cup carelessly: "Since you are dissatisfied with me in every way, just make peace with me."
She has seen the bright moon and maple trees at Hanshan Temple, the landscapes of Suzhou Gardens, and the misty rain and waves in Jiangnan in the past two years.
She wants to leave here and go to northern Xinjiang to see the grasslands and desert smoke outside the Great Wall, and taste the mutton and highland barley wine of the northerners
Chen Mianguan couldn¡¯t believe it.
"It's been two years, even if you have a dog, you should have feelings for it."
But Pei Chuchu said the words "harmony" so easily!
He gritted his teeth: "Pei Chuchu you are simply a heartless person!"
Pei Chuchu was still indifferent.
She grew up in the palace.
Having seen too many human relationships and the fickle world, a heart has long been tempered as hard as a stone.
The remaining tenderness was all given to the Xiao brothers and sisters and Ning Ting Ju Jiang Tian. How could there be room for a hypocritical person like Chen Mianguan?
The carriage stopped outside Changlexuan.
Because there is no curfew, the restaurant business is still booming even late at night.
Pei Chuchu stepped out of the carriage and looked back: "Early tomorrow morning, remember to send He Li Shu over."
Chen Mianguan was stunned for a moment, then said with a blushing face: "I will not reconcile with you, don't even think about it!"
Pei Chuchu seemed not to have heard and entered the restaurant on his own.
The feeling of being abandoned and looked down upon made all the blood in Chen Mianguan's body rush to his head.
He gritted his teeth, took out a bottle of wine from under the low table, raised his head and drank it all.
After drinking, he slammed the wine bottle into the carriage, opened the curtain with force, and chased into Changlexuan with staggering steps: "Pei Chuchu, tell me clearly! How can I not be sorry for you, how can I not be worthy of you? Telling you to shame me?!"
He pushed away a few people in front of himThe maid climbed the stairs regardless of the obstruction.
Pei Chuchu was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, taking off the hairpin from his hair.
The boudoir door was kicked open heavily.
She looked through the bronze mirror and saw that the man who broke into the room was drunk and red in the face. He looked furious and embarrassed. He did not have the noble demeanor when they first met by the river.
That¡¯s how people are.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ If you have a deeper desire but can¡¯t get it, it¡¯s like you are obsessed with it, and in the end you even lose your original intention.
"Pei Chuchu!"
Chen Mianguan ignored it, rushed forward to hug the girl, and kissed her anxiously: "Everyone envies me for marrying a beautiful woman, but who knows that I haven't touched you at all in the past two years?! Pei Chuchu, I want it tonight Got you!¡±
Pei Chuchu's expression was still indifferent.
She turned her face away from his kiss and snapped her fingers coldly.
The maid immediately rushed over with the thugs raised in the building, and pulled Chen Mianguan away without caring about his status as the prefect, and pushed him to the ground like a dead dog.
Pei Chuchu was condescending and looked at Chen Mianguan as if he were looking at a dead object: "Drag him out."
"Pei Chuchu, how dare you-"
Chen Mianguan struggled unconvincingly and was about to shout, but his mouth was covered by the thug.
He was dragged away.
Pei Chuchu turned to the bronze mirror again and still calmly took off the hairpin.
She dared to deceive even the emperor
¡°What is there in this world that she doesn¡¯t dare to do?
She took off her earrings and said calmly: "Pack your things, it's time for us to change places to play."
However, Changlexuan is the leading restaurant in Gusu City after all.
It takes a lot of effort and time to clean up a store for transfer.
Pei Chuchu was not in a hurry. He stayed in his boudoir every day, reading and writing, ignoring what was going on outside the window, and continued to live in isolation from the world.
When the assets were about to be disposed of, Chen Mansion suddenly sent a document.
She opened it, took one look at it, and couldn't help laughing.
The maid was curious: "Why are you laughing?"
Pei Chuchu threw the document to her: "The Chen family scolded me for doing nothing for two years and treating my mother-in-law with indifference and filial piety, so they demoted me as a concubine. At the end of the year, Chen Mianguan was going to officially marry Zhongqing and asked me to go back to the house to prepare for the ceremony. Tea matter."
The maid was furious: "Chen Mianguan is such a bastard!"
Pei Chuchu didn't care.
In addition to her name, her household registration and origin were all forged with a lot of money.
She and Chen Mianguan were not considered husband and wife at all, so how could they talk about demoting his wife to a concubine?
To He Lishu, he just wanted to explain his current identity.
