Crossing: The Lower Palace Princess is Hard to Remarry Latest Chapter List You Are Enough????? After agreeing on the rules, the two of them started playing chess. Normally, their skills were about the same, and when one lost and the other won, the difference wasn't that great, so Xiao Zongrong won the first game.
Chu Qingxian tilted his head and smiled at her: "Rong'er, ask whatever you want to ask! I'll tell you everything, without holding anything back!"
Xiao Congrong raised an eyebrow and said straightforwardly: "What kind of person are you?"
Chu Qingkuang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said: "What kind of question is this? Who am I? A man with the surname Chu and the name Qingkuang, more specifically, a merchant who still has some money at home! Is this answer satisfactory to Rong'er?"
Her eyes narrowed into a thin line, and she was clearly dissatisfied with this answer. Since her body also had a history of being lazy, why not take advantage of it? She pouted and said in a tone that even she couldn't think of: "This answer is too simple, you're not sincere at all!"
Chu Qing let out a soft "hmm" and smiled: "What does Rong'er want to know? You won't say, how would I know?"
"For example, where is your home? Who are the people in your household? What kind of business do you do? You don't tell me anything, how can I be your partner?"
Bath
He eats his, uses his, and seems to be developing into a "little honey" who is being supported, Xiao Zong feels that except for his temporarily injured legs, all his injuries have healed, and he should do something, otherwise he will appear too "useless" in Chu Qing's eyes!
So she can swear that what she wants to know is not just gossip, but knowing herself and others, in order to find the things that suit her.
"Oh... so Rong'er wanted to know these things! What's difficult about it, you could have just asked me directly! Why waste a question opportunity?"
Chu Qing laughed maniacally and placed a chess piece on the board, saying: "Let's play while we talk, whoever wins will be decided after answering, then we can proceed to the next question."
"Hmm." Xiao Zong felt that this method was also good, so he agreed and listened to Chu Qingkuang's enthusiastic speech while playing chess.
"My mother is a Jiangnan native...Jiangnan produces beautiful and elegant women, it's absolutely true. If you have the chance to go see for yourself, you'll know that what I'm saying isn't false."
Chu Qing's eyes curved into a faint smile, and a hint of melancholy floated onto his face, as if he was reminiscing about something, his gaze becoming distant.
"My mother also met my biological father in Jiangnan... It was like a play, where the talented man and beautiful woman were attracted to each other from the start. Then, my mother was brought to the capital by my biological father, only to discover that he was from a wealthy family in Beijing, with a wife and children already... My mother loved him dearly, but had no choice and became his concubine..."
Chu Qing said, looking deeply at Xiao Zongrong, "So, Rong'er, I will never look down on you just because you were once Wu Mingyuan's concubine. No matter what others think, I know that a clever woman like you must have loved him so much that she couldn't give up, and was willing to humble herself! My mother was the same..."
"Thanks...I understand!" Xiao Zongrong lightly bit her lower lip, never expecting that Chu Qingkuang would see her in such a way!
"What's next?" She stared at Chu Qing's handsome face in a daze, her son was so handsome, his mother must have been stunningly beautiful!
"It's not easy being a concubine in a wealthy family, Rong'er, you should know that from your experience in the Third Prince's estate. Women competing for favor and sabotaging each other is a common occurrence. My mother was just a woman from a humble background, doted on by my grandparents, educated in a private school, and had talent, but she didn't know how to deal with these women, so it's not her fault that she was framed!"
Chu Qingkuang was so caught up in his words that he forgot to make his move, staring blankly at Xiao Congrong as if he saw his own mother's face on hers.
Xiao Zongrong understood the kind of distress that came from being framed and having no one to tell, and sympathetically looked at him without disturbing his reminiscence. He simply picked up the teapot and poured him a hot cup of tea.
"When she was pregnant with me, a concubine framed her, saying she had an affair with a servant. My father, in a fit of rage, wanted to kill her. My mother managed to escape and was taken in by a kind family, where I was born. My mother never left the capital, searching for every opportunity to clear her name, but somehow that concubine found out and sent people to kill us... The family that took us in was killed, except for one daughter... Before my mother died, she told me to go back to Jiangnan to find my grandparents... So I left the capital and didn't return for over ten years."
Xiao Congrong saw Chu Qingkuang's hand holding the chess piece on the table, his white and slender fingers slightly trembling. He raised his eyes to see that his beautiful eyes were no longer as bright as before, as if covered with a layer of mist. Her heart moved, she unconsciously grasped his hand and held it tight, saying softly: "It's all over! Don't be sad! Seeing you like this now, your mother would be comforted!"
"Rong'er..." Chu Qingcang suddenly turned his hand over and wrapped her hand in his, flashing a faint smile at her. Xiao Zongrong saw a fleeting glimmer of pale blue in his eyes, but thought it was just his imagination, so he didn't pay attention to it. He pointed to the chessboard: "Let's continue, we're almost done!"
"Hmm." Chu Qingyan still held her hand with one hand and put down a chess piece with the other.
Xiao Zongrong struggled for a moment, but couldn't get out of it, so he simply rolled his eyes at him and resignedly put down the chess piece with his other hand.
Her posture was ambiguous, she knew that if she struggled hard, Chu Qingchuan would definitely let go, but she found herself not caring from the bottom of her heart, so she just let it be!
In the second game, Xiao still won with ease, although she suspected that Chu Qinglang had intentionally let her win, but she didn't care about it anymore and hastily asked: "Why are you so good to me?"
Chu Qingkong smiled and said with a pretended frown: "Didn't I tell you? It's because I like you..."
"Honestly, I want to hear the truth!" Xiao was dissatisfied and frowned at him. Love at first sight or something like that would never happen to a crippled abandoned woman like her; she only believed this one thing.
It seemed like she had seen through her doubts, Chu Qing smiled self-deprecatingly and asked in return: "Why don't you believe I like you? I'll ask you, why did you like Wu Mingyuan so much back then?"
It was Xue Cong Rong who liked Wu Ming Yuan in the past, wasn't it? How would I know why she didn't like others but liked that man instead! Of course, Xue Cong Rong wouldn't answer Chu Qing Cang like this, so he just said: "It's been too long ago, I've already forgotten how I came to like him!"
Chu Qingxiang smiled and said: "I don't remember when I started liking you, it's just that being with you makes me keep discovering your goodness, your talent, your stubbornness, your fierce personality, all of which attract me, making me like you more and more each day!... You've suffered so much, if it were another woman, she would have given up long ago, but you're still living optimistically and strongly. Your perseverance is admirable, yet also heartbreaking, so I want to care for you, be good to you, and let you live a better life!"
"Is that it?" Xiao Zong looked at him with a hint of dissatisfaction, as if he felt something was missing, but couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
"Isn't that enough?" Chu Qing raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly, "This is the first time I've liked someone, I don't know what to say to make you happy. My grandfather has a saying 'it's better to show than to tell', Rong Er, if you don't believe me, just watch my actions!"
Xiao Zongrong's face suddenly turned red, and he glared at him, saying: "Who asked you to please me! I'm not your someone, it's already troublesome enough that I've been freeloading off of you all this time, don't make me have any more mental pressure!"
"How could you not be mine?" Chu Qingkuang sneered: "You've been seen through by me, who else would dare to want you? In my heart, I've already treated you as my wife, can't you feel it?"
Xiao Congrong's face suddenly fell as he shouted: "Chu Qingxian, don't make such jokes again, or I'll leave tomorrow!"
She suddenly pulled out her hand, messed up the chess pieces, and shouted before Chu Qing could speak: "I don't want to play anymore, get out, I'm going to sleep!"
"Yong'er! Do you think I'm joking?" Chu Qingcang pushed the table away, leaned forward, grabbed her arms and pulled her over.
His voice was low and melancholic, a departure from his usual carefree attitude, which made Xiao Zong somewhat uncomfortable. She still looked down and said: "Whether it's a joke or not is unimportant, just don't mention this again, lest people misunderstand. I've stayed here with you for quite some time, my injuries have healed, if the situation outside isn't too tense, find a chance to send me away!"
"Where are you going? Where can you go?" Chu Qing crazily and anxiously called out, turning her around, saying: "Let's lay everything out today! Are you unhappy because of Hua Junzi's words?"
Xiao Cong Rong furrowed his brow: "What did Hua Junzi say to you?"
"What does he have to say to you and me? Is he saying that there's a letter from home, telling me to go back and marry Shui Pei? Does he want you to be my concubine?"
Chu Qing asked anxiously and irritably, with a faint blue light flashing in her eyes again. Xiao Zong saw the surprise and forgot to answer for a moment.
Chu Qingfan thought she was heartbroken, so he reached out to hold her face and slowed down his tone: "He told me everything you said! Rong'er, I originally wanted to handle things at home before talking to you about this, but you actually said you wanted to leave... So I can only tell you ahead of time! I like you, I really want you to be my wife... My only wife! I never thought of making you a concubine... Do you believe me?
His long fingers gently stroked her face, his eyes painful and tangled: "I've never told anyone about my mother's affairs! Do you know why I told you just now? I wanted to let you know that I understand... Back then, although I was young, I understood my mother's pain. She liked him very much, even after being wronged, her liking didn't decrease at all... until death! I saw her looking in the direction of his residence when she died, and I hated it... At that moment, I vowed that if I married a wife in the future, I would never take a concubine. I wouldn't let my mother's tragedy repeat itself in my family!"
"So I will only marry one wife in this life! The woman I truly love, I will give her all my love, spoil only her, and love only her and her children!"
Chu Qing's words were like a crazy fantasy, her voice softer and softer, Xiao Zongrong smiled bitterly, this person couldn't possibly be the lucky one for her!
It seems like he saw through her thoughts, Chu Qing's eyes turned red as he lowered his head, his forehead pressed against hers, and said in a hoarse voice: "Shui Pei saved me, her whole family lost their lives to save my mother and me, I'm very grateful to her. All these years, I've been treating her like a younger sister, loving her dearly. Whatever she wants, no matter what, I'll give it to her. In this lifetime, her position in my heart is irreplaceable... even if she wanted my life, I'd give it to her without hesitation... It's just that this feeling isn't romantic love, but a brother's repayment to a younger sister he owes a lot to. Do you understand? Do you get me?"
He was stubbornly asked by him, Xiao Zongrong nodded helplessly, indeed a very heavy favor, how to repay it!
"I can give my life for her, but I cannot marry her! It's not fair to her...I will never be able to love her like a man loves a woman, to pamper her...She is still young, she will meet men who like her, and one day she will understand that the affection of a brother and a husband are different! Right? I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"
Chu Qing's overconfidence seemed to be a bit shaken, and his expression revealed a hint of self-doubt. Xiao Zong sighed inwardly, thinking that Chu Qing's idea wasn't wrong, but it was ahead of its time - if he didn't marry Shui Pei, people would think him ungrateful and disloyal!
"Am I ungrateful? Isn't it so, Rong'er? Isn't it so?"
Chu Qing asked stubbornly, her eyes fixed tightly on Xiao Zongrong, as if her affirmation was very important to him.
Xiao Congrong nodded sympathetically: "You haven't forgotten kindness and righteousness, you're also doing it for her good!"
The words hadn't been spoken yet, but Chu Qing had already tightly wrapped her in his arms. He chuckled softly, with a somewhat overbearing laugh: "I knew you wouldn't see me like that, Rong'er! Thank you... thank you... As long as you understand me, I don't care even if the whole world scolds me! Having you is enough for me..."
Xiao Congrong suddenly felt a lot of pressure, was this saying going to link her future with his? Would the Chu family see her as an obstacle to the marriage between Chu Qingchun and Shui Peichen?
Does Chuying Kuang like her? If she also likes Chuying Kuang in the same way, or will stand with him on the same front line to resist the pressure of the Chu family, but does she like Chuying Kuang? Like to marry him and enjoy his care from now on, living a life without worries as Mrs. Chu?
It seemed beautiful, but like a mirage, she was clear-headed enough to know that such a life would never belong to her...
