Before dawn, it started to rain lightly in Bianjing City.

When Cao Yilan chased him out, Fu Jiuqu was about to get on the carriage.

The tall and thick-looking coachman with a full beard was helping the prince lift the curtain. When he heard the sound, he turned around and glared. He looked extremely scary.

Cao Yilan rushed over quickly, but did not dare to get close and swallowed her saliva.

"Brother Ninth, can I go with you?"

Fu Jiuqu calmed down and slowly turned around to see Cao Yilan in the drizzle.

"It's not your way. It would be more convenient for Zheng Liu to send you off."

Cao Yilan knew this was a rejection, but the experience she had this night was thrilling. From the moment she fell into the river, to lingering on the edge of death, her mood was unstable, but her mind was much clearer.

"I know you don't want to go with me, but I have something to ask you."

Fu Jiuqu looked at her silently.

Cao Yilan took two steps closer with her skirt in hand, not caring about the coachman's presence or the pressure that Fu Jiuqu had exerted on her heart over the years.

"I won't pester you. I'll leave as soon as I finish speaking."

Fu Jiuqu pondered for a moment, then turned around and said, "Come up."

Cao Yilan pursed her lips, and the sudden surprise was filled with crushing pain.

The condition for her to get on his carriage was the promise of "no entanglement".

Therefore, her fiancée family actually had no status at all in Fu Jiuqu's heart.

All this, she even thought of the turbulent flowing water of Wuzhang River, and the despair of being overwhelmed when struggling on the edge of death...

If it was Fu Jiuqu who saw her falling into the river at that time, would he have jumped into the cold river water to save her at all costs?

Fu Jiuqu sat as steady as a mountain, with handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, good-looking but distant.

"What do you want to say?"

Cao Yilan looked at him dreamily, with moist mist in her eyes.

"Brother Ninth, if it were me who was bitten by a poisonous snake tonight, would you save me?"

Fu Jiuqu rolled his eyes impatiently, "What on earth are you going to say?"

Cao Yilan pursed her lips. There was a slight hoarseness in her usually delicate voice, which made her look pitiful.

"If you saw me falling into the Wuzhang River, would you go down to the river to save me?"

Fu Jiuqu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her calmly, with an impatient look on his face.

Cao Yilan said: "I have liked you for so many years, but I don't believe that you have no emotion for me. You will also save me, right?"

Fu Jiuqu looked at her, "Yes."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Cao Yilan's eyes.

Soon, I heard Fu Jiuqu say without emotion: "The Imperial City Division is the Imperial City Division of the officials and the people of the Song Dynasty. Whether you or others are in danger in front of my eyes, I will save them."

Cao Yilan felt as if a knife had been stabbed in her heart.

For a moment, it was difficult for her to tell whether Fu Jiuqu's words were to explain his motive for rescuing Mrs. Zhang, or to clear up his relationship with her...

Cao Yilan lowered her eyelids and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Jiu, I heard from my mother that our wedding may be scheduled for April this year. They say that April is the best season of the year when the grass is luxuriant and the flowers are blooming. I'm very much looking forward to it. I'm already looking forward to it.

It's been a long time...but tonight, I feel very sad..."

Seeing that Fu Jiuqu remained silent, she took a breath and became a little bolder.

"I'm jealous of Mrs. Zhang. Because Brother Ninth likes her and loves her ten times, no, a hundred times more than me. So, I can't wait to kill her."

Fu Jiuqu looked at him coldly, "If you keep talking nonsense, get out of the car."

Cao Yilan curled her lips.

She knew that Fu Jiuqu had a bad temper, and allowing her to get in the car and talk for so long was the limit of what she had known Fu Jiuqu for all these years.

Cao Yilan felt like her heart was being cut by a knife.

She is not a good-tempered woman. She has been favored since she was a child. She is also the best among the noble girls in Bianjing City. She has always been lawless. If the person opposite was not Fu Jiuqu, but anyone else, Cao Yilan would probably pick up the fruit plate and smash it.

His head, and then walked away.

But at this moment, when she looked at Fu Jiuqu like this, she didn't know why, so she said those humiliating words.

"I want to tell Brother Ninth that as long as Brother Ninth likes her, I, I, can understand you... After we get married, if you take her into your house, I... I will agree and won't stop you."

There was a flash of surprise and suspicion in Fu Jiuqu's eyes.

Cao Yilan was still saying, "I have thought about it, liking someone is not about being exclusive, but making him happy. From now on, as long as you like it, I will like it. I will do whatever you ask me to do, as long as

If you are willing to marry me and don't drive me away, I will listen to you and we can be a couple who share the same love and respect each other as guests, okay?"

When she said the last part, her voice was choked with sobs, and tears rolled down under her lowered eyelashes.

This sadness came inexplicably, and all kinds of emotions washed through her brain, making her overwhelmed with emotions and unable to control them.

Like a moth flying into the flame, brave, humble, and extremely miserable.

I know clearly that this is not what I want, but I can't resist...

She would definitely have regrets if she didn't give herself an explanation for the man she had liked for many years and had fallen in love with for many years.

Fu Jiuqu was silent for a long time, "I will marry you."

Cao Yilan raised her hazy tearful eyes, "Brother Ninth?"

Fu Jiuqu stared at her, his pale face without a trace of blood, and his voice was even colder, "But there is one thing you have to keep in mind. When I marry you, I can give you everything you want, except for what you little girls want."

Sincerity. Don’t have any expectations to avoid pain.”

The defense in Cao Yilan's heart suddenly collapsed.

Don't be serious, what does she want with an empty shell?

She asked miserably: "Then to whom did Ninth Brother give his sincerity?"

Fu Jiuqu: "I have no heart."

Cao Yilan had sobs in her throat and laughed while sobbing, "No heart? I don't think Brother Jiu has no heart. It's because you gave your heart to someone else and you can't take it back, right? I've said it before, I don't care about your affection for her.

, allowing you to take her back as your concubine, I will be a dutiful mistress, treat her well, and treat your children as my own. If I do this, you still can't give me any love?"

Fu Jiuqu's face darkened, "I will not take her as my concubine."

Cao Yilan sneered: "Then you may not still want to marry her?"

Fu Jiuqu lowered his eyelids and spoke calmly: "She is Xingyuan's widow and my sister-in-law. It doesn't matter if you don't tolerate her in your heart, just remember not to provoke her. Otherwise, don't blame me for not keeping her."

feelings."

Cao Yilan whimpered.

The tears rolled down from my eyes like a bursting dam.

"Are you threatening your fiancée? Just to protect your brother's widow?"

Fu Jiuqu closed his clear eyes slightly and said nothing.

Cao Yilan sobbed slightly, bit her lower lip, and asked softly: "Then if Ninth Brother marries me, will he still take concubines or find other wives?"

Fu Jiuqu's eyes slightly raised, "It depends on my mood."

Cao Yilan pursed her lips, suddenly covered her face and cried bitterly.

"Can't you share a little bit of your heart with me? I only need a little bit."

In fact, Cao Yilan didn't care about Fu Jiuqu taking concubines. It was normal for the prince to find several concubines, but she still couldn't stand it after hearing this.

It's not because Fu Jiuqu might take a concubine.

It was because Fu Jiuqu refused to take Mrs. Zhang as his concubine.
