Chapter 147: I’m used to being abused. That little injury is nothing. I’ve suffered serious injuries
It was already night when the two left the underground palace.
Chu Xingchen waited for her men to bring her people enough thick cotton-padded clothes, as well as food, vegetables, and red meat for the winter, as well as charcoal and firewood for heating.
After everything was settled, the two left the underground palace and returned to the villa on the ground through the secret passage.
It was already late at night, and the road up the mountain where Shuibo Pavilion was located was now guarded by Qin family guards. Furthermore, traveling by carriage at night would be too conspicuous.
So in the end, Su Yingxue accepted Chu Xingchen's suggestion and stayed in the villa on the ground for one night.
This wasn't a very large house, small but well-equipped. It only had one master bedroom.
Su Yingxue looked at the big bed in the room, not knowing what to say.
Chu Xing's eyes were gloomy. He understood what Su Yingxue's silence meant.
After a long moment, he whispered, "Sister sleeps on the couch, and Xing sleeps on the floor."
Chu Xingchen took out a thick quilt from the cabinet and spread it on the floor. He then took out a pillow and quilt and made the floor bed.
Folding and spreading the quilts were tasks he had become very familiar with when he was living in the cold palace.
"Cuizhu." Chu Xingchen called a maid over, "Serve my sister and go to the clean room to bathe and change clothes."
Su Yingxue looked back and saw a little girl of about fifteen or sixteen who looked extremely clever.
"Yes, young master." Seeing this, Cuizhu bowed to Su Yingxue and took her away.
······
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The cold winter in the suburbs of Beijing was actually quite chilly. Su Yingxue, wrapped in her quilt, tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
"Sister, why don't you sleep?" Chu Xingchen's voice was hoarse.
He cared about Su Yingxue very much, so he paid close attention to her breathing and movements.
"Brother," Su Yingxue didn't expect that Chu Xingchen was not asleep either. She looked in his direction. The moonlight shone through the window screen onto his berth. The moonlight was cold, clear, and bright.
Su Yingxue raised her little head and lay on the edge of the bed. When she saw the young man, he also looked up at her.
"What's wrong?" Chu Xingchen whispered, "Are you worried about something?"
"Brother, are you very powerful?" Su Yingxue lay on the bed, holding her chin with both hands, and asked the young man on the couch.
"You have the ability to place them in this place, but I feel that this place cannot be built overnight..."
"I feel that my brother has many secrets that I don't know..."
Su Yingxue asked softly, "But my brother is so powerful, why was he injured so badly that day in the inner court?"
Chu Xingchen sighed softly when he heard this.
"Then I also want to ask my sister why she was so obsessed with my looks and repeatedly used all means to persuade me to become her lover."
"But that day, my brother wanted to serve my sister, but my sister avoided him like a snake?"
"Why is this?"
Chu Xingchen did not answer her question, but asked her back.
Su Yingxue was a little displeased when she heard this.
"It was my elder sister who asked my younger brother first. No matter how it is calculated, my younger brother must answer a question first, and then my elder sister will answer a question."
"Everything has to have a first come, first served, right?"
Su Yingxue muttered, somewhat unhappy.
Chu Xingchen heard this, and a smile suddenly appeared on his indifferent face. Although he didn't look up at her, he could imagine what kind of expression was in her eyes.
Chu Xingchen felt a slight sweetness in his heart. This was probably the agility and cuteness of his elder sister. He liked the way his sister interacted with him.
"Then I'll do as you say, sister." Chu Xingchen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Brother, answer one question first, and sister will answer another question."
"Fair and just, no one is cheated."
"It's a deal," Su Yingxue heard this and urged with a smile, "You answer first, you answer first..."
Chu Xingchen heard this and said softly, "That day when the Internal Supervisor was there, I didn't want to reveal my strength too early. After all, Xingchen has a special identity."
"I'm used to being abused. That little injury is nothing. I've suffered more serious injuries before. I've gotten through it..." Chu Xing said in a hoarse voice.
Su Yingxue's words suddenly reminded her of the boy's injuries. She recalled the furious and ferocious look in his eyes when they first met, like a wolf cub. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty and a little emotional.
Who could have thought that the boy who was full of jealousy towards her would now be so tender and caring towards her?
Maybe it's true, things are unpredictable.
"Sister, Xingchen answered my question, sister, is it my turn now..."
Su Yingxue pondered for a moment after hearing this, and finally spoke, "It wasn't me who wanted you to be her concubine before."
That person is the real Su Yingxue. She really wants to sleep with you.
"Now I never want to abuse you, and I never want to touch you."
Because I am Zhang Susu, I want to raise you into a well-educated, well-mannered gentleman who understands state governance and is upright and honest.
In this way, firstly, you can make up for the harm Su Yingxue has done to you, and secondly, you can wish that one day you will become a monarch who cares about his country and his people.
If my brother is a wise ruler, the people of both countries will enjoy boundless well-being and the country's prosperity will last for thousands of years.
But when Chu Xingchen listened to her, he felt that her words were spoken and yet it seemed as if she had not said them.
He felt completely bewildered by what she said, but he didn't like what she said and didn't want it to get involved with him.
God bless him, he wished she would get her hands on him right now.
······
But he couldn't bring himself to tell her such ruthless words. Her sister was too timid, and he had finally managed to trick her into opening up to him today. He could only console himself and take things slowly.
One day, her elder sister will be moved by his sincerity, wear the most beautiful wedding dress, and willingly and happily marry her...
If that day comes, he will definitely have a son and a daughter with his sister, a pair of sons and daughters, to make up the Chinese character "good", and only then can his life be complete...
"Sister has finished answering, now it's my turn to ask you, brother." Su Yingxue looked at Chu Xingchen and asked softly, "Brother, do you think there are many other underground palaces like this one?"
Chu Xingchen answered without hesitation, "Yes."
"Sister, do you like Mo Yunsheng?"
Chu Xingchen's eyes dimmed and he stared at Su Yingxue intently.
This answer puzzled him for a long time.
Every time he saw her with Mo Yunsheng, his heart would feel bitter and painful.
Su Yingxue didn't expect that as she asked questions, she would end up talking about Mo Yunsheng.
In an instant, she lost interest in asking and answering, and said lightly, "Brother, it's getting late, I want to sleep..."
Then he turned over and lay down, covered himself with the quilt, and prepared to close his eyes and sleep.
In the dark night, Chu Xingchen was startled by her actions and her words, and smiled bitterly helplessly.
As expected, her elder sister avoided the important issues and couldn't even tell a lie to him.
He felt a little heavy in his heart.
But then he thought, if her sister really learned to deceive him, how could he be attracted to her?
Perhaps, it was because she fell into the lake that she seemed to have become a different person, sincere, kind, and would not lie. She was as clean as a white jasmine and a solitary orchid in a valley.
That's why his heart was firmly held by her...
