Chapter 146: When he gave unconditionally to her again and again, she was moved by his sincerity and
When Su Yingxue saw the old woman with half-white hair, a wrinkled face, and the brand of "slave" on her neck, her eyes instantly turned red, and she didn't understand what was going on.
They were the remaining female members of her Nangong family. She was the only one in the entire Nangong family who lived a life of wanton indulgence, while the others lived in such misery.
"Prince Chu, today is the first time I see you bringing a girl to see us. Is she your sweetheart?"
The old lady asked Chu Xingchen with a smile and concern.
Chu Xingchen heard this, his eyes softened, he nodded, and replied, "Yes, grandma."
"This girl looks pretty and is a good girl," the old lady said softly after looking at Su Yingxue with a smile.
"Miss, our Prince Chu is a very good person. You will be blessed to be with him!" The old lady's eyes were full of tenderness, and she wanted to keep them to have dinner together.
"Prince Chu, young lady, since you are here, it is almost time for lunch, why not have a home-cooked meal?" the old lady asked softly.
"Thank you, grandma." Chu Xingchen bowed and thanked, "Then I will obey your command. However, Xingchen still wants to take her to see the tombstone."
Chu Xingchen whispered goodbye to the old lady. Seeing that she was in a low mood and her eyes were red, he sighed slightly, took her hand, and led her to the left. They walked down a long staircase and suddenly there was no way forward.
Chu Xingchen pressed the mechanism, and a stone wall opened. He pulled her and walked into the bottom of a valley on a cliff.
Surrounded by a valley and surrounded by towering cliffs, it is a great hidden place.
In the valley, flowers and grasses covered the ground, and the autumn breeze blew gently. On one side of the valley were trees that blocked out the sun, on the other side were farmlands planted with some grains, and on the far left were lonely tombstones without words standing in a row.
"Most of the noble families prefer cremation, so we consulted the grandmothers about their wishes. Finally, we all unanimously decided to build a wordless cemetery at the bottom of the valley and bury the ashes there for easy worship." Chu Xing whispered hoarsely.
"Why didn't I carve a tombstone?" Chu Xingchen thought of the old ladies' words that day. "They were all poor people who had suffered humiliation and torture. Their lives were hard enough. After death, they just wanted a tombstone to rest in peace."
“If the name of the Nangong family is engraved on it, after death, the tombstone might be discovered by outsiders one day and the grave might be dug up and the ashes scattered.”
"So they only ask for a place to rest after death."
Chu Xingchen repeated what the old ladies had said, but Su Yingxue felt full of self-blame when she heard it.
She was truly useless. Her people suffered and died because of her. But every day she only wanted to complete the strategy points on Mo Yunsheng and return to the modern era. How could she be so irresponsible?
Su Yingxue shed tears of guilt.
Seeing this, Chu Xingchen couldn't help but hugged her in his arms and coaxed her, "Sister, don't cry..."
"Sister, Xingchen brought you here just to tell you, don't worry, Xingchen has already taken care of everything for you..."
"My sister's people are Xingchen's people. Xingchen will treat them well..."
"Sister..." Chu Xingchen didn't know why, the more he comforted the person in his arms, the harder she cried. She cried and soaked his shoulders. She hugged him and cried, and he had no way to stop her...
"Sister..."
"Chu Xingchen, why..." Su Yingxue asked the person in front of her with tears in her voice.
"Why did Su Yingxue treat you like that before, but you are so nice to her now..."
Su Yingxue looked at Chu Xingchen through her misty eyes. She was puzzled, but she found that what was more important was that she didn't know when she was not only afraid and resisted the young man in front of her, but when he gave unconditionally for her time and time again, she was moved by his sincerity and true heart, and her hard rationality was slightly loosened.
She felt that the ice that had covered her heart with great difficulty was being cracked bit by bit by him with the hammer called sincerity.
······
"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about again?" Chu Xingchen had no idea what was going on in her mind. He picked up the sleeve in his right hand and gently wiped away the tears and tear marks on her face.
"As long as my sister is willing to repay Xingchen with her lifelong companionship, Xingchen will be satisfied..."
Chu Xingchen put her ear to the place where his heart beat on his chest and said to her gently, "Sister, can you feel Xingchen's pulse?"
“This heart beats for my sister, because my sister is the only one who lives in it…”
Chu Xingchen's voice was hoarse and affectionate. He was just hugging his beloved girl.
Maybe one day, when he has truly accomplished what he wanted to do and has enough ability, he can live an ordinary life with his sister, just like an ordinary couple.
Su Yingxue felt relieved when she heard his steady and strong heartbeat.
"Chu Xingchen, thank you..."
She did not push away his warm embrace. The boy's shoulders were broad and warm, and his arms were around her, as if to shelter her and provide her with a harbor to dock.
Chu Xingchen is obviously a few years younger than her, but he is far superior to her in terms of ability, skills, and even scheming.
For the first time, Su Yingxue realized that the boy had done a lot for her. So this thank you came from the bottom of her heart.
"Sister, in five years you will be Xingchen's wife." Chu Xingchen looked at Su Yingxue, his eyes shining like stars, sincere, clean, pure and true.
"Then my sister's people will eventually become Xingchen's people. Xingchen is just exercising his rights as a member of the tribe sooner or later. Why are you so distant, sister?"
When Su Yingxue heard this, her mind was in turmoil.
"Brother..."
She felt stuck in her throat.
Su Yingxue closed her eyes, the clean, refreshing, cool fragrance of the young man lingering in her nose. She silently said in her heart, "Brother, one day you will see Su Liyue."
Su Liyue is your destined match.
When you see her, you will understand that in this world, she is the only one you love in your heart.
The sun and the moon are not half as brilliant as hers, and the world’s splendor cannot compare to her frown and faint smile.
But at this moment, let's just assume that you are sincere.
Su Yingxue thought to herself, let me accept your kindness on behalf of Su Liyue temporarily. When we return to the palace and everything is back on track, I will definitely return my brother, along with his sincere heart, to the heroine.
For the first time, Su Yingxue quietly put her arms around his waist.
That was the first time she took the initiative to put her arms around Chu Xingchen's waist.
It was also the first time that he opened his heart to Chu Xingchen.
When Chu Xingchen saw this, his eyes lit up slightly, as if his eyes were instantly lit up by her actions.
······
The two of them had lunch in the underground palace. It was an ordinary family dinner, simple food, but it tasted like home.
The old ladies were very warm to Chu Xingchen and her. They were grateful to Chu Xingchen for saving them from the fire and for collecting the bodies of their compatriots and burying them here.
Therefore, when they saw Su Yingxue, because they didn't know her identity, they thought she was Chu Xingchen's female companion, so they treated her sincerely and simply.
