Taohong lowered her head and led the way for the Mistress and Song Tinyun.
She could tell that the Mistress Yuwen Xiu liked Song Tinyun very much. But what the Mistress liked, the Miss might not like … She was afraid that the Miss would be troubled again.
Taohong took a few quick steps and said to Cui Xiaoxin, who was reading a book at the door, "Miss, Madam is here. Song family's Young Master Tinyun is also here. "
Cui Xiaoxin's thoughts seemed to still be stuck in the contents of the book. She leaned on the soft couch next to the brazier, her face still maintaining a state of thinking and confusion.
After a while, it wasn't until Cui Xiaoxin's mother, Yuwen Xiu, came in and stood in front of her that Cui Xiaoxin reacted. She quickly got up and saluted, saying, "Mother is here."
She looked up at Song Tinyun, her long eyelashes were slightly lowered, and she bowed again, saying, "Greetings, Song family's elder brother."
"Xiaoxin, are you in a maze again?" Yuwen Xiu said with a smile on her face. Although she was talking to her daughter, she looked at Song Tinyun from the corner of her eyes, as if showing off, 'See, I said that our family's Xiaoxin loves to read'.
"En." Cui Xiaoxin held the book in her hand and said aloud.
"Xiaoxin, long time no see." Song Tinyun greeted Cui Xiaoxin with a smile. "Did I disturb you by taking the liberty to visit?"
"No." Cui Xiaoxin replied.
Yuwen Xiu felt that the atmosphere was a little 'cold', which was not a good feeling.
She smiled and smoothed things over in the middle, saying, "Look at you two, when you were young, you stuck together all day and refused to separate, and couldn't be dragged away. Now that you've grown up, you're even more restrained. "
Song Tinyun pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "At that time, I made Aunt Xiu worry a lot."
"Yes. How can I not worry? You were yelling that you wanted Xiaoxin to be your little bride, and that you wanted to get married immediately. You stayed at our house and refused to go back. "Yu Wen Xiu began to make her big move.
"Haha, I remember all these things …" Song Tinyun smiled as he looked at Cui Xiaoxin and asked, "Xiaoxin, do you still remember?"
"I …" Cui Xiaoxin's face was bashful, and her neck had long been smeared with a large patch of pink. She said, "Some of it, some of it I can't remember."
Yuwen Xiu took the scroll from her daughter's hand and said aloud, "Xiaoxin, why haven't you asked Tingyun to sit down? The older you get, the more you don't know your manners? Taohong, serve tea. "
"Yes, Madam." Taohong complied and quickly ran out to get busy.
Cui Xiaoxin put away the complex emotions in her heart and became calm. She made an invitation gesture to Song Tinyun and said, "Song Family's Big Brother, please sit down."
"You used to call me Big Brother Tinyun." When Song Tinyun sat down, he looked at Cui Xiaoxin's moving eyes and said.
The smile on Cui Xiaoxin's face slightly stagnated, and then stretched out again. She said softly, "That was many years ago. The world changes, and people also change. What's the use of mentioning these things? "
Song Tinyun shook his head and said, "The world changes, but people's hearts are not easy to change. At least, Song Tinyun's heart hasn't changed. "
This sentence was somewhat accusing Cui Xiaoxin. My heart hasn't changed, but yours has.
Cui Xiaoxin sat opposite Song Tinyun. Looking at his handsome and delicate face, she suddenly felt a little unfamiliar.
This was not the strangeness of distance, nor the strangeness of time.
But when she looked at this face, there would always be another face in her mind. Therefore, the appearance of Song Tinyun she saw was not real. It was vague and might be replaced by another face at any time.
"Xiaoxin …" Yuwen Xiu saw her daughter staring at Song Tinyun's face in a daze and could not help calling out.
Only then did Cui Xiaoxin come back to her senses. She looked at her mother, Yuwen Xiu, and said, "Mother, can you let me talk to Song Family's Big Brother alone?"
Yuwen Xiu's expression was slightly stunned, and then she said with a smile, "Yes, yes, that's the reason. You young people have a good chat. This old woman won't get involved. "
When leaving, she whispered to Cui Xiaoxin and said, "Xiaoxin, treat the guests well. Don't neglect Tinyun."
"Mother, I know." Cui Xiaoxin said with a blank expression.
After Yuwen Xiu left, Cui Xiaoxin looked at Song Tinyun sitting opposite and said, "Song Family's Big Brother, how about we go for a walk in the yard? The room is too stuffy. "
The anger in Song Tinyun's eyes flashed away. What she said was not that it was too stuffy in the room, but that it was too 'stuffy' when she was with him.
When you are with a woman, you can't just listen to their literal meaning. You have to think more deeply about the meaning of every word she says.
Fortunately, he was a man who was not stupid.
Song Tinyun stood up and said with a smile, "Okay. When we were young, our favorite thing to do was to throw snowballs in the snow. We refused to go back even when our boots were soaked in the snow. Now that I think about it, I haven't done these things for many years. "
"Talking about the past again." Cui Xiaoxin thought in her heart, "Those things just made her mood more and more heavy, just like a huge debt owed many years ago. Now, the creditor has come to collect the debt …"
Taohong and Liulu came over with freshly brewed tea and watched the two masters arrive at the courtyard one after the other.
Song Tinyun pointed to a jar in the courtyard and said, "In the past, we raised a red edged fish here."
Then he pointed to a Tiandu cherry tree in the courtyard and said, "I remember that this Tiandu cherry tree was planted by the two of us together. You like cherry blossoms the most. At that time, you were playing in my house and saw that the yard was full of this Tiandu cherry tree, so you begged me to dig one for you to plant in your own small yard. Father likes the Tiandu cherry tree in his yard the most, so I secretly dug one for you … After so many years, I didn't expect it to grow so tall. "
"And this Wintersweet …"
"Enough." Cui Xiaoxin suddenly shouted.
Song Tinyun raised his head and looked at Cui Xiaoxin's breathing and sweating appearance. The smile on his face finally disappeared and his face became cold.
"It seems that the rumors outside are true?"
Cui Xiaoxin didn't answer, and said in a deep voice, "I know the purpose of your visit. You don't have to worry, I've already prepared what should be done. "
"Who told you to prepare? Who told you to prepare? "Song Tinyun flew into a rage.
Cui Xiaoxin's face was also pale, and she didn't say a word.
Song Tinyun's head came over, his eyes fixed on Cui Xiaoxin's eyes, and said, "Cui Xiaoxin, I know that you're telling me this because you want me to give up on my own initiative. You want me to give up on you, give up on this engagement. Then you'll be free, won't you? "
"I won't, I won't be the struggling resister, I won't be the stupid and hapless victim. Don't you like that Li Muyang? Then you have to fight for yourself. You have to refuse the marriage, run away, elope with that man … Do what your aunt did that year again. "
Song Tinyun's eyes were bloodshot, like an enraged wolf, "Of course, in the end your resistance will have no meaning. You will be caught by the Cui family, and the man who dared to take away the Cui family's woman will be killed by the Cui family, and not even a corpse will be found. What about you? Your fate is … As everyone expects, you will marry into the Song family, become the daughter-in-law of the Song family, and become my wife. You will live with me hypocritically, and have a few children … This is the fate of your life. "
"There's the best example in front of us. Are you … going to follow her again? Maybe, your fate will change? "
A mocking smile appeared on Song Tinyun's mouth, and he turned and walked out the door.
Taohong and Liulu quickly ran over, one on the left and one on the right supporting Cui Xiaoxin who was about to fall to the ground.
"Miss, Miss, are you okay?"
"Miss, don't scare me, say something, Miss …"
※ ※ ※
"I want to see Li Muyang." Cui Xiaoxin said in a deep voice, "I want to see Li Muyang."
"But, Miss, we can't go out, there are a lot of guards at the gate of the courtyard …"
"I want to see Li Muyang." Cui Xiaoxin gritted her teeth and said.
A bright red bloodstain flowed down the corner of her mouth, where she had crushed her teeth.
※ ※ ※
"Li Muyang?" The guard at the door stared warily at Li Muyang and said, "Is that … Li Muyang of the Lu Family?"
"Yes, it's Li Muyang of the Lu Family." Li Muyang said with a smile.
"You want to see our Miss Chenxi?"
"Yes. I want to see your Miss Chenxi. "Li Muyang nodded and said. Seeing that the guard's face was getting worse and his attitude was getting worse, Li Muyang said aloud, "It was your Miss Chenxi who invited me over."
"I can't make the decision on this matter." The guard said. "I have to inform our steward, and the steward has to inform our mansion's chief steward, and the chief steward has to inform the second master … If the second master agrees, then we can let you see Miss."
"It's so troublesome?" Li Muyang's eyes widened.
Li Shinian, who was standing on one side, was impatient and said angrily, "Brother, let's go back. The Song Family's threshold is too high. If they don't let us in, we won't go in. Who cares? "
Then he turned to the guards and said, "If it wasn't for your Miss inviting my brother over, we wouldn't be willing to come. We wouldn't come even if we begged. "
Li Shinian took Li Muyang's arm and said, "Brother, let's go back."
"Let's go back." Li Muyang said with a smile. He looked at the guards and said, "If your Miss asks, just say Li Muyang has been here. Li Muyang never breaks his promise. "
With that, the two turned and walked towards their carriage.
"Gongzi Muyang — — Gongzi Muyang — —" A crisp and sweet voice sounded behind them. "Gongzi Muyang wait — —"
