Gu Ci hugged her shoulders. "It's okay, Xiangxue. Chen He can resolve this matter.”
She comforted Xiang Xue, but she also felt worried." Xiang Xue, you're just feeling better. Go back and rest."”Xiang Xue nodded. Gu Ci said to Xiang Xue," No, Xiang Xue, I'll go back and take a look. You stay in the house." Don't worry, nothing will happen.”
Gu Ci rushed back and saw Chen He kneeling in front of the hall. Dark clouds rolled over from the sky, and a few thunders sounded. It looked like a heavy rain was coming. Old Master Chen and Seventh Aunt were sitting in the living room as they watched Chen He kneel on the ground. Chen Chuan smiled at Chen He." Brother, don't make Father unhappy. You are the eldest son of the Chen family and you will inherit the Chen family in the future. Don't you think that you are inviting people to ruin our family's reputation by being with a woman from a brothel?" What do you want your unmarried sister-in-law to do? Isn't this embarrassing sister-in-law's family?"
The seventh aunt also twisted her waist and walked toward Chen He. She saw Chen He kneeling in front of the door and said to him in a sharp voice, but she also thought that she was talking to Old Master Chen. "Young Master, our family will depend on you in the future. If you don't want to take over the Chen family, there are plenty of people here.”She turned around and walked back to Grandpa Chen's side, asking gently. "Don't you think so?"
"This family will only be left to Chen He. This is my promise to Madam before I died. Chen He is the son of the first wife. Since ancient times, the family has always passed down the legitimate son.”Grandpa Chen said sternly. She stood up and walked to the door." Chen He, I've put the most effort into you. I also hope that you can become the successor of the Chen family that I've been looking forward to. Your marriage has been set since you were young. It's not up to you. That girl is also the daughter of a good family. You should cut off all ties with that girl as soon as possible.”
Chen Chuan's expression changed as he clenched his fists behind his back.
Chen He knelt on the stone slab in front of the door and said to the Chen family's old man. "Father, you said that you were entrusted by my mother before she died, but what did you do before my mother died? One by one, you married in your concubines and neglected my mother. My mother is sick, but have you ever cared about her? Have you? What are you going to say to stop me from loving someone? At least I won't be like you, letting down one woman after another.”
Old Master Chen was furious." You brat. I'm rebelling against you." He slammed his palm on the table and called for the butler. "Watch over him. Don't let him get up. Don't let him eat. Kneel here until he admits his mistake. I don't believe that you won't admit defeat."
"Master." The butler was embarrassed. "It's going to rain soon, look!"
Grandpa Chen pursed his lips tightly. He didn't say anything.
The seventh aunt supported Old Master Chen." Old Master, why are you so angry with Eldest Young Master?"”He then gestured for Chen Chuan to come over and support Old Master Chen. Chen Chuan would also take the opportunity to ask. "Father, take care of your body. The body is the most important." he said. "Seventh Concubine, you and Father should go back to your room to rest.”
The seventh aunt coaxed Old Master Chen for a while before leaving after seeing Chen He kneeling on the ground. At this time, Gu Ci rushed back and knelt on the ground with one foot. She saw Chen Chuan standing behind the door and said with a smile. "Brother, why do you have to do this? You don't have the fortune to be able to endure it, so don't be stubborn.”
Gu Ci watched as Chen Chuan laughed in the room. Bean-sized raindrops fell, hitting her body in pain, and her hands turned red. Gu Ci quickly took an umbrella and placed it on Chen He. She squatted in front of Chen He and allowed the rain to wet her dress. She said," Chen He, it's okay. I'll stay with you."”
Chen He looked at Gu Ci." Gu Ci, you're such a good friend. Actually, sometimes I really envy you. Although you lost your parents when you were young, I still have parents. So what? I can't arrange everything. My life, my marriage, everything that belongs to me has to be stripped away.”
Gu Ci looked at this seemingly strong boy and didn't know how to comfort him. Sometimes, people really couldn't help themselves. "Chen He, at least you have someone now.”
Chen He nodded heavily." Yes, that's why I won't give up."”He took the umbrella from Gu Ci's hand. The butler was watching everything from the door. Chen He said to the butler. "Go back and tell Old Master that I won't leave Xiangxue.”After saying that, he left with Gu Ci. She hugged the wine and ancient porcelain in the courtyard and looked at the large amount of rain falling from the eaves until she was drunk.
The next day, Chen He didn't even bother to tidy himself up before pulling Gu Ci out. When he passed by the street, he took a butterfly hairpin from the jewelry shop. Gu Ci yawned and said to him," You didn't come here to buy this so early in the morning, did you?"”
Chen He's slanted eyebrows were flying, and his usually lazy eyes were bright." Of course not." You'll know when the time comes." When they arrived outside the city, Gu Ci roughly guessed what Chen He wanted to do." Don't tell me you want to express your feelings to Xiang Xue and then let me be a witness.”
Chen He nodded. "Yes." They entered one after another. Xiang Xue was watering the flowers in the courtyard. When she saw Chen He, her face turned red as she asked. "Why are you here so early?”He smelled a strange smell." Did you guys drink?”
Gu Ci walked forward with her arms crossed. "Come on, I brought him to see you today. He's in one piece. Last night, Chen He dragged me to drink with him. You pulled me out this morning. I'm so tired."
Chen He smiled." Aren't good friends just putting their lives on the line for their friends?”He held Xiang Xue's hand and said to Gu Ci. "Enough, Gu Ci, stop teasing Xiang Xue.”he said. "Today, I asked you to be a witness.”
Gu Ci pretended to be calm. "Yeah, hurry up."
Chen He was stunned on the spot. He held Xiang Xue's hand and inserted the butterfly hairpin into Xiang Xue's head. He hugged her shoulders and said. "Xiangxue, it's my fortune to have met you in this life. Perhaps it's because you cared about me when I was injured, or perhaps it's because I was nervous when I saw your life hanging by a thread. Xiang Xue, I didn't say it before, but I thought about it for a long time. Today, I came to tell you that you are the wife that I, Chen He, have decided on. I will treat you well in this life."
His words were simple, but each word pierced through Xiang Xue's heart.
