Fate to do this

The two who haven't seen each other for many years naturally have a lot to say, but most likely it was Chu Yiyuan who said that Su Mengru was listening quietly.

"It turns out that this Zuixian building was opened by your family." Su Mengru asked with a smile.

"That's right, this Zuixian Tower should be the beginning of my return to Anping Town. My father and mother have been tired all these years, so they took advantage of this opportunity to go out for a tour and leave everything here to me. Naturally, I don't want to disappoint them. I will take back the tea houses one after another in the future, although Suzhou is good, I still want to come back here." Because there is you here, of course Chu Yiyuan didn't say these words.

Su Mengru smiled, "By the way, I still have something for you."

"What is it?" Chu Yiyuan asked.

"you guess?"

"Well, let me think about it." Chu Yiyuan pretended to think, "I remember you once said that you would send me a purse, is it that purse?"

Su Mengru smiled and nodded, "You left in a hurry back then, and I didn't have time to give it to you in the future, but I kept it all the time, thinking that if you came back that day, I would give it to you myself."

Chu Yiyuan scratched her head in embarrassment, "I came to your house to look for you that time, but you were not at home, and I left early the next morning, so I was still sad for several days." Chu Yiyuan thought, at that time My heart is really uncomfortable.

Chu Yiyuan smiled again, "But those are not important anymore, it's good that I come back now, isn't it?"

Su Mengru agreed.

The two of them chatted ecstatically, but He'er was completely anxious, watching from a distance but not daring to disturb her.

"Your maid seems to be in a hurry?" Chu Yiyuan saw He'er not far away pacing back and forth, looking here from time to time.

Su Mengru smiled and stood up, and Chu Yiyuan hurriedly got up to help her. Although they haven't seen each other for many years, the tacit understanding between the two is still there.

Seeing Su Mengru coming slowly, He'er trotted to Su Mengru, "Miss." She looked at Chu Yiyuan suspiciously, this young man was handsome, and he was no longer under the appearance of the young master, but upon closer inspection, he felt a little familiar.

He'er had met Chu Yiyuan when she was young, but after so many years, He'er lost her memory.

Because Su Mengru had something to go back to the mansion first, the two had no choice but to say goodbye. Now that Chu Yiyuan is back, he is not afraid that there will be no chance to meet in the future.

Su Mengru always had a smile on the carriage, which made He'er think that the young lady is interested in the talented person, otherwise she was frivolous and did not see the young lady angry at that time, so it must be the case.

"Miss, who is that son?" He Er asked.

"Don't He'er recognize it?"

"Huh? What Miss means is that I should know that person."

"She is Chu Yiyuan." Su Mengru smiled.

"Chu Yiyuan is Miss's classmate in the private school when she was young." He Er suddenly remembered that there was such a moment, "Miss often talked about this person at that time, didn't she leave here later?" Remember Chu Yiyuan left At that time, the lady was also sad for a few days.

"Yeah, she's back now."

"So that's how it is." He'er suddenly realized, "It's no wonder Miss is in such a good mood at this moment, even Young Master Biao was not like you in the past, smiling from ear to ear."

Su Mengru was a little embarrassed when He Er said this, "Don't talk nonsense, He Er actually made fun of me like this."

"Where are you talking nonsense? He'er saw it clearly. It turns out that the lady likes Chu Yiyuan." He'er is a cheerful maid, and Su Mengru treats her very well. What does He'er say in front of Su Mengru? Nothing shy about it.

"Look at your mouth always talking nonsense, see if I won't hit you." Su Mengru made a gesture to hit her.

He'er smiled lowly, "Okay, Miss, I won't say anymore. In fact, this Chu Yiyuan is not bad compared to Young Master Biao, but what should Miss say about Master?" Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Su Qi likes Xiang Hongzhi, so Xiang Hongzhi Hongzhi turned a blind eye to Su Mengru's courtship, and he had already heard about the Su family and the Chu family, how could Su agree?

This is really hard to say.

"I said no, she and I are just friends, it's not what you think." Su Mengru said, but she also knew in her heart that her father intended to train her cousin these years.

"What about Young Master Biao? It can be seen that Young Master Biao likes Miss very much, and he always tries to please Miss in different ways every time." But in the end, it always gets twice the result with half the effort, and Su Mengru doesn't like it too much.

"My cousin is just a cousin to me." Su Mengru said.

"Well, Miss doesn't like Young Master Biao and is just friends with Chu Yiyuan, so who do you like, Miss, is it the son of the county magistrate who bullies others?"

Su Mengru pretended to be angry and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will promise you to Jin Shan to be my concubine, always mentioning what he does."

He Er hurriedly waved her hands and said, "I won't say anything, Miss, please don't give me to that Jin Shan."

The two talked and laughed all the way, and they arrived at Su Mansion in less than a moment.

When Su Mengru returned to the mansion, Su Qi had already returned.

"father."

"Where did Mengru go just now? I won't see you as soon as I come back." Su Qi still cared about her daughter's affairs when she had nothing to do, but Su Mengru is already in her twenties and eight years old. Although she is reluctant to part with her, her daughter will marry off one day.

"I went to see a friend just now, what's the matter with Dad?" Su Mengru said.

"It's nothing else, your mother said that she will go to your grandfather's place someday, so you can go with her." Su Qi thought.

"Yes, my daughter knows, that daughter has gone back to her room first."

"Okay." Su Qi said.

The child will always hide some secrets when he grows up, but the most father is not good at interfering too much, so as not to make the child unhappy, Su Qi is very close to Su Mengru, and is afraid that Su Mengru will be coaxed.

When Chu Yiyuan had nothing to do, he would think of Su Mengru, but after all, Su Mengru was a girl who hadn't left the cabinet and couldn't run outside all day, so letters became the method of communication between the two.

Chu Yiyuan was playing with the purse at her waist, which was given to her by Su Mengru a few days ago, and Chu Yiyuan had been wearing it all the time, and when she was bored, she would take it out and look at it, and sometimes she would laugh when she looked at it.

"Do you think our boss has a sweetheart, staring at the purse in a daze all day, and still giggling?" I was very curious about the abnormal behavior of my boss.

"Look, our boss is young and talented. Even if he has a sweetheart, it's not surprising. It's a blessing for eight lifetimes to fall in love with a girl." Chu Yiyuan is a good boss in their minds, and a nice person. And he does everything, it's really rare to have such thoughts at such a young age.

Naturally, Chu Yiyuan would not know that someone was talking about her in private, and what she was thinking about now was where would be a better place to take Su Mengru to play tomorrow.

When Xiang Hongzhi came to Su's mansion, Su Qi hadn't gone out yet, "Is Hongzhi here to find Mengru? She went out early in the morning." Recently, Su Mengru has been going out more and more frequently.

"That's it." Xiang Hongzhi felt a little lost.

"I thought she went out with you, but it wasn't." Su Qi became more and more curious about Su Mengru's recent whereabouts.

"Does Uncle know who my cousin is going out with?" Xiang Hongzhi asked.

"It's not clear."

Xiang Hongzhi flinched, feeling a little lost, and after saying goodbye to Su Qi, he thought about wandering around.

When he walked to the fourth street, he seemed to see Su Mengru, and Xiang Hongzhi saw her walking into the Zuixian Building side by side with a man, followed by He'er, a maidservant.

It turns out that my cousin is here, but who is that man?

Xiang Hongzhi felt faintly uneasy in his heart, he did not follow in but looked towards Zuixian Tower at the corner of the street.

But after a while, Su Mengru came out, and now Xiang Hongzhi saw clearly that the man beside her was the one who was outside the Zuixian Tower that day.

At this moment, the two were chatting and laughing and got into the same carriage without any hesitation. Xiang Hongzhi was stunned at the moment, wondering when his cousin was so friendly with this man.

In order to clarify the situation, Xiang Hongzhi quietly followed the carriage.

Chu Yiyuan went to pick up Su Mengru early in the morning, and had to take Su Mengru back to the teahouse because there were some things to deal with in the teahouse.

After finishing the matter at hand, they went out of the city together with Su Mengru. Today Chu Yiyuan planned to take Su Mengru to the orchard.

This orchard was bought a few days ago. At that time, Chu Yiyuan had no intention of buying this orchard, but something happened to the original owner of the orchard, which made Chu Yiyuan think of how similar the situation was to the Chu family a long time ago. The owner of the orchard bought it after going through a difficult time.

It's just that Chu Yiyuan didn't know much about the orchard, so he left the original owner here to take care of it.

"Master, we're here." Shitou shouted outside driving a carriage.

"Mengru, let's get out of the carriage." Chu Yiyuan naturally took Su Mengru's hand and helped her get off the carriage.

When Su Mengru got out of the car, she saw that there were fruit trees all around, but the fruits were not yet ripe at this season, and they were hanging on the trees one by one.

"here is?"

Chu Yiyuan smiled and told Su Mengru, "This is an orchard, and Brother Lu is the owner of this orchard." Chu Yiyuan introduced.

"Master Chu was just joking. Now this garden belongs to Master Chu. I'm just here to take care of him." The man called Big Brother Lu said.

"Follow me." Brother Lu led the four of them into the garden.

Now this is the season when cherries and mulberries are ripe, and the mountain road is a little bit difficult. Chu Yiyuan never let go of Su Mengru's hand, and asked closely from time to time.

Su Mengru just smiled and shook her head, "No problem."

He'er and Xiao Shitou, who were following behind them, looked at each other and smiled. The lady also said that she didn't like Chu Yiyuan, so I didn't believe it.

Chu Yiyuan regretted why she brought Su Mengru to the orchard. Originally, she just wanted Su Mengru to enjoy the fun of picking fruits, but the process was a bit bumpy.

Brother Lu brought a few people to the hillside, and it turned out that it was a cherry tree.

"These are all top-grade cherry trees." Brother Lu reached out and picked one and handed it to Chu Yiyuan, "Try it."

Chu Yiyuan took it with a smile, "It's really sweet, okay, that's great."

Chu Yiyuan also reached out to pick one and wiped it clean, then handed it to Su Mengru, "Here, Mengru, you can try it too."

After Su Mengru tasted it, she also nodded and praised, "It's really hard for you, Brother Lu."

"It's not hard, you guys play first, here are a few baskets you can use, I'll come up to pick you up later." Brother Lu said.

"Okay, Brother Lu, please."

After Brother Lu left, Chu Yiyuan and Shitou started picking cherries.

The cherry tree grew tall, and Chu Yiyuan climbed up the tree with the help of the stone. Seeing that Su Mengru under the tree was terrified, he called out to be more careful.

Chu Yiyuan looked at Su Mengru and smiled, Chu Yiyuan looked stupid at the moment, not as powerful as rumored outside.

After the hard work of several people, they finally picked a basket full of cherries, but they couldn't finish eating so many cherries.

Chu Yiyuan jumped off the tree, sweating profusely after some tossing.

Su Mengru took out a handkerchief and wiped Chu Yiyuan's face, Chu Yiyuan's heart was pounding when she saw her so earnestly.

He'er on the side was really dumbfounded, this is really a naked show of affection.

It seems that I have to wipe tears of sympathy for Young Master Biao, after all, what Young Master Biao has done for his young lady is obvious to all.

The young lady's mind is probably inseparable, but there is still a layer of paper between the two of them that has not been pierced.

Su Mengru has become different since Chu Yiyuan came back, why is it different, this is something that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words, everyone knows it in their hearts.

Su Mengru was startled by Chu Yiyuan's straight eyes, and then looked at He'er and Shitou with their mouths wide open in surprise, thinking that they must have misunderstood something.

Chu Yiyuan's identity is only known to him, and only he knows that she is a woman like him, so some intimate behavior between the two of them is fine, but it is not the case in the eyes of others.

Su Mengru suddenly realized this, and gave the handkerchief to Chu Yiyuan, "Wipe it yourself."

This move will only make He Er feel that her young lady is shy.

"Okay." Chu Yiyuan pouted with some displeasure.

The author has something to say: There is still a gap between what I think and what I write

[-]th

Not long after, Brother Lu came up the mountain to pick them up, and saw that the basket of cherries was indeed a good harvest.

When the few people were going down the mountain, suddenly there was a strong wind. Looking up at the day, the sky that was originally sunny was now covered with dark clouds.

"Hurry up, everyone, it will rain soon." Brother Lu said.

Several people quickened their pace, but the way down the mountain was more difficult, Chu Yiyuan supported Su Mengru tightly for fear that she would fall.

It didn't take a moment for the bean-heavy rain to fall, "Go to the thatched shed there to shelter from the rain first." Brother Lu pointed to a simple thatched shed not far away.

Several people ran all the way to the thatched shed.

"Really, why is it raining all of a sudden?" He'er, who was all wet, complained.

"Look at the rain that won't stop for a while." Brother Lu said.

The thatched hut is not big, and five people standing under it will inevitably be exposed to the wind and rain.Chu Yiyuan protected Su Mengru in the middle, trying not to let her get wet by the rain again, and he looked like a drowned rat.

For Chu Yiyuan's care for her, although Su Mengru is sweet, she is also a little anxious. For some reason, the feeling between them has changed since Chu Yiyuan came back, and it is no longer the same as when they were young.

I always feel that the relationship has changed, but they are indeed women, Chu Yiyuan and her... Su Mengru sighed in her heart.

After the storm, everyone wanted to return home quickly, but now the clothes were all wet, and the original interest was also dampened by the heavy rain.

Chu Yiyuan was a little sorry, if it wasn't for her poor arrangements, Su Mengru and the others would not have been caught in the rain, but Su Mengru said lightly that nothing happened.

Su Mengru went back to the house and changed her clothes. Because Chu Yiyuan was protecting her, she didn't get much wet, but even so, she still suffered from the wind and cold in the end.

Su Qi invited a doctor to see Su Mengru, but the doctor just said that the slight cold is not a serious problem.

Su Mengru is Su Qi's darling, now that Su Mengru suffers from the wind and cold for no reason, Su Qi naturally wants to ask clearly.

He called He'er to ask about it, but He'er faltered but refused to say anything.

"If you don't tell me, I will give you to Uncle Chi to be my concubine." Su Qi threatened.

"No, master, it's not that I don't want to talk about it, but it's hard to talk about it." He'er burst into tears, she really didn't want to betray Miss.

"There is something hard to say, if you don't say it, don't blame me for saying it." Su Qi said again.

Unable to bear Su Qi's lustful power, He'er could only silently lower his head and tell what happened that day, Su Qi's face changed greatly when he heard that, "It really is that Chu Yiyuan."

"Did Miss go out with her in the past?" Su Qi asked again.

He Er would nod her head helplessly.

"Pa" Su Qi angrily patted the table, "You brat Chu Yiyuan."

"Master, don't be angry. Every time Mr. Chu goes out with the young lady, He'er is by his side, so she and the young lady have nothing to do with each other. They are just friends." He'er will automatically pass over the matter of Chu Yiyuan kissing Su Mengru that day, if the old lady knows The seven orifices that are still angry produce smoke.

"It's nothing, if there is something, it will be too late." Su Qi said angrily, he knew earlier that the kid from the Chu family had unreasonable thoughts on Su Mengru, but he didn't expect to do it now.

Su Mengru was ill and didn't know that Chu Yiyuan's matter had already been known by her father, seeing Su Qi's appearance, I am afraid that Chu Yiyuan will suffer in the future.

While Chu Yiyuan was still worried about Su Mengru, she learned that Su Mengru was bedridden with a cold.

It must be because of the rain and cold that day, Chu Yiyuan felt unspeakable remorse in his heart, he would not have taken Su Mengru to that orchard if he knew it earlier, and now Su Mengru fell ill.

Naturally, Su Mengru couldn't come out again when she was ill, but Chu Yiyuan was concerned about Su Mengru's situation.

In the end, Chu Yiyuan decided to go to Su's mansion. Su Qi can be regarded as an old man in the business world, so as a junior, he naturally wanted to pay a visit. Let's not mention the old stories between Su Qi and his father. .

Su Qi is worried. I don't think that Chu Yiyuan really came to the door. If Mrs. Su didn't stop Su Qi, she really wanted to coax Chu Yiyuan out.

"What are you doing in such a hurry? You're always a guest when you come to the door. Besides, this child is Mengru's friend." Mrs. Su said.

"Can I not be in a hurry, this kid clearly has thoughts on our Mengru."

"Our Mengru is not young anymore, we really want to marry her, I think this Chu Yiyuan is also a good candidate." Mrs. Su is not like Su Qi, she met Chu Yiyuan a few times before, and thinks that Chu Yiyuan is quite a clever child.

"What do women and Taoists know?"

"I don't understand, but it also depends on our daughter's thoughts, right? Do you think I don't know what's in your heart? Although Hongzhi is good, you can see that our daughter doesn't mean that to her. Although Hongzhi is To be honest, I don't think he and Mengru are suitable for my nephew." Mrs. Su has seen it clearly in the past few years, and of course she understands her own daughter.

"I didn't say that Xiang Hongzhi must be chosen. There are so many men in the world who are outstanding." Su Qi said again.

"Okay, okay, no matter what, you have to listen to your daughter. It's useless for you to be anxious here. If Mengru really likes Chu Yiyuan, what can you say." Mrs. Su's words hit the nail on the head.

Su Qi's face froze and he had nothing to refute.

"Don't let the children wait outside for too long, let's go out." Mrs. Su reminded.

"It doesn't matter if you wait a while." Su Qi thought to himself as the daughter who wanted to chase me was not so patient.

Chu Yiyuan was really patient, no one came out after waiting for a long time, she was not annoyed but just stood like this.

Finally Su Qi and Mrs. Su came out together, but Su Qi still glanced at Chu Yiyuan with a dark face and then snorted, but Mrs. Su kept looking at Chu Yiyuan with a smile.

Seeing the two of them coming out, Chu Yiyuan stepped forward to greet, "The junior Chu Yiyuan has met Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su." The neither humble nor overbearing appearance made Mrs. Su approve a little more.

Chu Yiyuan has not changed much from when he was young, but now he is a lot taller, and his chubby face looks handsome now.

"Young Master Chu, you are being polite, just call us uncle and aunt." Mrs. Su is indeed a virtuous woman.

Su Qi listened to his wife's words and just snorted coldly, and was rewarded with an elbow by Mrs. Su.

"Since that's the case, aunt doesn't need to call me Mr. Chu, just call me Yiyuan." Chu Yiyuan felt that Mrs. Su was as kind as his own mother.

Mrs. Su asked Chu Yiyuan to sit down, and asked the maids to change tea, Chu Yiyuan kept smiling and polite.

Although Chu Yiyuan only came to visit Su Qi and Mrs. Su, everyone knew what the real purpose was.

Mrs. Su and Chu Yiyuan chatted a lot because they hit it off, but left Su Qi aside.

It's not that Su didn't look at Chu Yiyuan directly, so what if he's good-looking, but he doesn't feel safe with this appearance.

After chatting for a while, Chu Yiyuan began to care about Su Mengru's body, Mrs. Su said with a smile, "Mengru just catches a cold occasionally, and it's okay to rest in the room now."

Chu Yiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Su really saw Chu Yiyuan's expression. It seemed that Chu Yiyuan really cared about her daughter.

When Su Mengru was about to get out of bed, He'er opened the door and came in, "Miss, you are better and you need to rest well."

Su Mengru smiled, "How can I be so weak, the wind and cold are almost gone, I just want to get out of bed and walk."

"Where did you go?" Su Mengru sat down at the table.

"I went to the hall just now. I heard that there was a guest in the mansion, so I went to have a look. Miss, do you know who the guest is?" He Er pretended to be mysterious.

"It's Daddy's friend, but it shouldn't be the case of He'er." Su Mengru said.

"Miss will definitely not be able to guess." He'er laughed.

"You're playing tricks on me, you'll know if you don't tell me I'll go and see for myself." Su Mengru was about to get up after speaking.

"No, no, no, you must not go out." He'er hastily stopped, "I tell you it's okay, it's Mr. Chu."

"Chu Yiyuan? What is she here for?" Su Mengru was also a little surprised that Chu Yiyuan came to the house.

"They said they were visiting Mrs. Madam, but I think they might be here to propose marriage." He Er said intentionally.

"You're talking nonsense again." Su Mengru said angrily.

"Miss blushed again, and said she didn't like Mr. Chu, anyone with a discerning eye could see it." I saw it clearly in the orchard that day.

"But it seems that the master doesn't like this Mr. Chu very much." He'er worried.

Su Mengru naturally knew why Su didn't like Chu Yiyuan, but it wasn't these things that made her confused and confused.

Su Mengru has always regarded Chu Yiyuan as her friend, and never thought that one day the two of them would surpass the boundary of this friend, and besides, Chu Yiyuan is a woman like her.

Su Mengru admitted that she was very happy to reunite with Chu Yiyuan these days, but she didn't know if it was love.

But now He'er and the others have misunderstood themselves and Chu Yiyuan, so Chu Yiyuan thinks the same way.

Seeing Su Mengru's melancholy face, He'er thought that the lady was worried that Su would not accept Chu Yiyuan, "Miss, don't worry, Mr. Chu is outstanding in talent and appearance, and the master will definitely agree with you."

Su Mengru sighed, it seems that this misunderstanding must not continue to deepen.

Chu Yiyuan left the Su Mansion, today is really not a waste of time.Although he didn't see Su Mengru, he knew that her body was fine, and Chu Yiyuan and Mrs. Su were very speculative.

Chu Yiyuan can also see Su Qi's attitude clearly. Although he can't change Su Qi's opinion of him, Chu Yiyuan will definitely work hard in the future, but this Mrs. Su may be the breakthrough point.

Just as Chu Yiyuan was not far away, he saw a person approaching him. This person was Su Mengru's cousin Xiang Hongzhi.

Xiang Hongzhi also recognized Chu Yiyuan, it seems that Chu Yiyuan should have come from the Su residence, could it be.

Xiang Hongzhi stopped and followed Chu Yiyuan and their carriage that day, but they lost it not long after they left the city. Xiang Hongzhi had no choice but to go back to the house first.

Later, Su Mengru fell ill, and Xiang Hongzhi didn't have the chance to come and see Su Mengru. Today, he happened to be free and unexpectedly met Chu Yiyuan.

The appearance of Chu Yiyuan is undoubtedly a huge threat to Xiang Hongzhi.

I also heard something about Xiang Hongzhi and Chu Yiyuan, who was originally a scholar and was later brought by Su Qiti to learn business, but after all, a scholar is just a scholar and not a business material at all.

The two passed by without saying anything. Chu Yiyuan still had some things to deal with, and Xiang Hongzhi also hurried to Su's residence.

The author has something to say: Ms. Su wields her sword to slash love, but Master Chu still needs to work hard.

No.11 times

After Su Mengru recovered from her illness, Chu Yiyuan and Su Mengru met again.

But this time the atmosphere seemed a little different.

Su Mengru sent He'er away with an excuse. She thought about it for a long time and needed to explain it clearly to Chu Yiyuan. In her heart, Chu Yiyuan will always be the same Chu Yiyuan from before. She is a classmate, a friend, and even a confidant.

"Chu Yiyuan, are we friends?" Su Mengru asked.

"Of course." Chu Yiyuan didn't know why Su Mengru asked that.

"Then we will be friends for life, right?" Su Mengru said again.

Chu Yiyuan frowned, "Of course it is."

"I have always regarded you as my good friend and sister. I was also very sad after you left Pingyang County. I thought I would lose a sister from now on. I am very happy that you can come back." Su Mengru said quietly.

"Well, I'm also very happy." Chu Yiyuan realized that Su Mengru was different today. He had a lot of things in his stomach to say to Su Mengru, but now he had to swallow them back.

Chu Yiyuan's disappointed expression was seen by Su Mengru, and she felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. Isn't this a decision made by herself, and why is it like this now that I have said it.

In fact, Chu Yiyuan planned to confess to Su Mengru today, but before the words of confession were spoken, Su Mengru showed her attitude. It turns out that they have always been friends.

It's really just friends, thinking of this, Chu Yiyuan laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

Maybe, if she hadn't told Su Mengru her identity before, she might still be an apprentice in Su Mengru's eyes, and she wouldn't have the chance to become Su Mengru's friend.

Since then, Chu Yiyuan has fallen into a state of being broken in love, and this love affair that he thought was beautiful was unilaterally done by him, and it ended without a problem in the end.

Chu Yiyuan sometimes wonders who made her identity so embarrassing.

After seeing Chu Yiyuan sigh for a few times, the servants of the Chu family started talking about Chu Yiyuan again.

"What's the matter, young master? He was still laughing and joking a few days ago, but now he's always moaning and sighing."

"Does it need to be said, it's probably rejected by the girl I like." The relatively experienced person said.

"There is such a thing, why is our young master so good that someone would reject our young master, I am really curious about what kind of strange woman the other party is."

"I heard it's a young lady from the Su family." Humane said with a lot of gossip.

"Miss Su." Everyone seemed to understand.

Speaking of the Su family.

On this day, Mrs. Su pretended to have a heart-to-heart talk with her daughter, but she actually wanted to ask her about her views on major events in her life, whether she had someone she liked or something.

In fact, Su Qi begged Mrs. Su to go with this matter, Su Qi is a big man and it's really not easy to ask these things.

"Mother, you worry too much, I don't have anyone I like." Su Mengru's cheeks flushed slightly, and when Mrs. Su asked her, the figure of Chu Yiyuan flashed in her mind.

Mrs. Su seldom sees her daughter's twitchy gestures, and seeing the flicker in Su Mengru's eyes, she guesses that her daughter is embarrassed.

"A few days ago, the son of the Chu family came to visit. You also know about the old affairs between your father and Mr. Chu. Our family and the Chu family have very little contact. Now that the son of Chu said he came to visit, in fact, mother can see Because you are right?" Madam Su asked again.

"Mother, Chu Yiyuan and I are just friends." Su Mengru said.

"It's really just friends?" Mrs. Su didn't think so.

Su Mengru nodded.

Since Su Mengru has said so, Mrs. Su can't force anything, I'm afraid it's hard for others to guess the thoughts of her daughter's family. Although Su Mengru has a clear mind from her own heart, once she encounters love affairs, she won't be sure.

It is enough for the mother to mention a few words aside, and in the end it is up to her to decide.

He'er said that Su Mengru doesn't go out frequently these days, and Chu Yiyuan seldom comes, and the letters between the two in the past are even rarer.

Mrs. Su thought, it's not good to force her to do something when she grows up and has her own ideas. If she really doesn't like it, then let Su Qi look for other candidates.

But having said that, she still likes Chu Yiyuan, which may also depend on her eyes.

As the saying goes, being frustrated in love and being successful in the market, Chu Yiyuan put all his thoughts on business, and bought several big tea houses and shops one after another. Everyone thought that the Chu family seemed to be making a comeback.

Chu Yiyuan was busy when she heard the hurried footsteps outside, and someone knocked on the door, "Master, someone is looking for you outside."

Chu Yiyuan didn't know who would be looking for her, and when she was about to open the door, the door had already been pushed open.

Seeing the person Chu Yiyuan was dumbfounded for a moment, "It's you."

I saw that the man dumped the burden on Chu Yiyuan, and then took the seat that Chu Yiyuan had just sat carelessly.

The servant outside the door was still a little surprised, Chu Yiyuan waved his hand to make him step back first.

Seeing the boy leave, Chu Yiyuan put the burden on the table, turned around and said to the man, "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come? Well, you Chu Yiyuan is so heartless. You have been away secretly for so long without even a single letter. You want the princess to come to you in person." It turns out that this person is the princess of the Suzhou palace. Murong Yan.

Chu Yiyuan laughed dryly twice, and Murongyan glanced at her with anger on her face.

"Looking at the posture of the princess, he must have run away from home again." Thinking about it, I know that the princess likes to play with petty temper on weekdays, and running away from home is even more common.

"So what, the princess decided not to go back and stay here with you, aren't you welcome?" Mu Rongyan looked like a spoiled brat.

"Of course you are welcome. The princess must be tired and hungry after leaving. I will ask someone to prepare some food for you, and then go back to the house together." Chu Yiyuan also has nothing to do with Murongyan. What about the Princess.

What's more, Mu Rongyan and her have been good friends for many years after staying in Suzhou for so long, but most likely it was Mu Rongyan who made the mess and Chu Yiyuan cleaned it up.

The two have deep revolutionary feelings, so Mu Rongyan will not be polite to Chu Yiyuan at all.

"By the way, princess, how did you find me?" Chu Yiyuan was very surprised.

"I've said that I'm the princess, so I naturally have my way. It's not easy to find you as Chu Yiyuan."

Chu Yiyuan smiled and stopped talking.

The fact that Master Chu brought a girl back spread quickly in Chu's residence. Some people said that the young master saw it, and he was not planning to hang himself on a tree to find another true love. Some said that the young master wanted to use another relationship to marry Soothe the hurt, in short, there are too many versions.

When Chu Yiyuan heard the rumors, she couldn't help but want to pat the bed and laugh.

Due to the arrival of Mu Rongyan, Chu Yiyuan seemed even busier, and couldn't spare any time to think about Su Mengru.

It's just that in the dead of night, I would dream of Su Mengru in my dreams.

Su Mengru is still living the same life as usual, reading books, playing the piano, playing the piano and so on.

It's just that when I read a book, I get distracted, when I play the piano, I get lost, and when I embroider, I don't know what kind of strange pattern it turns into.

Even He'er is worried about the young lady's recent situation. It must be a long time since I saw Mr. Chu. Is the young lady suffering from lovesickness?

Xiang Hongzhi still cared about Su Mengru as always, seeing that Su Mengru's mood had not changed in the past few days, he wanted to please Su Mengru.

Su Mengru explained her thoughts to Xiang Hongzhi more than once, but only regarded Xiang Hongzhi as her elder brother, that's all.

But this did not stop his enthusiasm in the slightest.

Su Mengru really hasn't seen Chu Yiyuan for a long time, but after Su Mengru and Chu Yiyuan said those words that day, Chu Yiyuan disappeared from her sight.

The two promised to be good friends and sisters forever, but Chu Yiyuan ignored her in a blink of an eye. It seems that Chu Yiyuan really had that in mind.

Today is the Lantern Festival in Pingyang County. When it was getting dark, Xiang Hongzhi came to Su Mansion to pick Su Mengru out to watch the lanterns.

Xiang Hongzhi and Su Mengru worked together in previous years, and this year is no exception.

When going out, Mrs. Su and Su Qi gave some instructions, and sent a few people to protect her.

The Lantern Festival doesn’t change much every year. It’s just that this year there is a special program, which is said to make people dress up as lantern fairies.

In fact, Su Mengru was not very interested, she just didn't want to spoil the interest of Xiang Hongzhi and He'er.

It was the first time for Mu Rongyan to come to Pingyang County. Naturally, this Lantern Festival was to join in the fun. Chu Yiyuan accompanied Mu Rongyan to the street.

"It's so beautiful." Mu Rongyan sighed looking at the dazzling array of colors in front of her eyes.

Chu Yiyuan smiled and said, "Didn't you also see it in Suzhou, this place is not comparable to Suzhou."

"Isn't that different?"

"What's the difference?" Chu Yiyuan asked.

"Because the atmosphere is different, in the past I always followed a group of people when I went out, or I would be upset if I saw them sneakily. How can I be so comfortable like now." Mu Rongyan sighed.

Chu Yiyuan curled his lips in noncommittal.

In fact, on the day when Mu Rongyan came, Chu Yiyuan had already written to inform the Suzhou palace of Mu Rongyan's whereabouts, so as to reassure the people at the palace.

Fortunately, the people in the palace trust Chu Yiyuan very much, so they can rest assured that Mu Rongyan is here.

"Wow, why are there so many people there, let's go and have a look." Then he squeezed into the crowd.

Chu Yiyuan didn't even have time to hold her back, "There are so many people, be careful." He had no choice but to follow.

It turned out that the group of people crowded together to see the Lantern Fairy, which was strange, Chu Yi
