But She’s So Charming - Chapter 46

Tang Wu was sitting in the carriage alone, with her hand resting on her chin, and looking out through the bead curtain on the side.

She patiently counted the mountains on either side of which she couldn’t see the end, in order to suppress the strange emotions that had occurred when the person just let go of her hand.

The carriage shook, and soon she closed her eyes dizzy.

When their car drove out of Qinzhou and arrived at the border with Xinzhou, the sky was almost dark.

Cheng Yu grabbed the rein, then raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. He turned his head and glanced at the car Tang Wu was in, immediately dismounted, walked backwards, and then whispered: “Madam, are you hungry?”

Seeing that she was silent, he shouted again, “Madam?”

Cheng Yu yelled a few times, but Tang Wu didn’t respond. This was really anxious to Cheng Yu. There were no female relatives with him, so he had to offend the curtain on the carriage and lifted a gap.

He looked through this gap and found that she was asleep with her head tilted…

Cheng Yu’s face was solemn, thinking that she was indeed tired. He counted the hours silently, and found that even if they were on their way, they would not be able to enter Shinzhou after daybreak. Instead of staying up late and running around, it would be better to stop there for rectification and set off tomorrow morning.

In this way, I can tell her to have a good rest.

When the whole was settled down, and while the sky was still bright, Cheng Yu rushed to the nearest forest again, thinking about feeding her some wild food.

He drew a backhand and took out a short bow. He squinted one eye to draw the bowstring away, and hit the arrow feathers.

Cheng Yu caught two rabbits just by hearing two sounds of “duh”.

After he hurried back with the rabbit, he sent someone to light a fire.

He raised his head and looked at the astronomical phenomena while lighting a fire, and then he felt relieved.

There are so many stars, there will be no rain tonight.

After finishing the food, Cheng Yu tapped his finger on the side window of the carriage slightly, and then said to Tang Wu: “Madam, eat something before going to bed.”

Tang Wu dumbly heard that someone was calling her, and slowly opened his eyes. She slept extremely peacefully this time. If no one called her, she was afraid that she would be able to sleep until the next morning.

When Cheng Yu heard an answer from inside, he opened the bead curtain of the front window and smiled at her: “Madam, can I go in?”

Maybe it was that this elder son was by her side when she was in two distresses, so Tang Wu really had an inexplicable favor for him.

Tang Wu gave a light cough, then nodded.

Cheng Yu is tall and has big steps. He kicked up in one step. After he sat down, he handed her all the food he had prepared for her.

A not-so-exquisite porcelain plate with steaming steamed buns and torn rabbit meat on the plate.

Tang Wu looked at the porcelain plate slightly in a daze.

She was just a concubine of His Royal Highness, and the one in front of her was the elder son of the Guogong Mansion, the future Guoguo. Even if she was pregnant now, he would definitely not have his turn to serve her.

Thinking like this, Tang Wu took a bun, and then handed him the torn rabbit meat. She raised her eyes and said slowly: “Concubine has always been unable to eat much. If you eat too much, you will vomit. This Rabbit meat is still eaten by the world.”

She was so polite, and Cheng Yu couldn’t help frowning. He didn’t reach out to take it, but said with a serious face: “The doctor said, even if you vomit after eating, you have to eat, otherwise you will just reduce your food. Madam’s body won’t be able to stand it within three days.”

Hearing this, Tang Wu’s heart trembled slightly.

She has always been a bit unbearable for others to treat her well. If anyone treats her well, she always wants to double it back. But when she looked at the boy in front of her, she couldn’t help but feel a little distressed.

She seems to have nothing to help him…

Seeing her face still embarrassed, Cheng Yu thoughtfully said: “You are welcome, Madam, I have one arrow for this rabbit. I can catch it anytime I want to eat it. And when Madam was resting, I had already eaten dinner. .”

Having said that, Tang Wu naturally couldn’t be hypocritical anymore.

When Cheng Yu saw her eating in small sips, a smile appeared on her face.

He put his hands on his knees, holding and loosening, loosening and holding. After a long while, he slowly said: “Madam, can you tell me something about Madam’s past?”

“Before?” Tang Wu tilted his head and puzzled.

Cheng Yu nodded, and then said: “It’s the matter before Madam entered the palace… For example… How many brothers and sisters does Madam have? Will my parents be well now?” After speaking, he couldn’t help but look at her face.

In fact, Cheng Yu also knew that it was a bit offensive to inquire about her home, but the seed of suspicion in his heart had taken root, and he couldn’t bear what he wanted to say.

He sat up straight, waiting for her to answer.

After a while, Tang Wu swallowed that mouthful of steamed buns before turning her head to speak, “Why is the world interested in what happened to my concubine?”

Cheng Yu did not immediately answer.

He was silent for a while before swallowing back what he was about to blurt out. Although he suspected that Tang Wu might be the concubine Cheng who died of illness that year, he had no evidence for more than ten years, so he could only doubt it.

Moreover, the matter of acknowledging relatives is not a trivial matter after all. If this is mistaken, I am afraid it will turn this matter into a farce…

“What happened to the concubine…” Tang Wu’s voice suddenly became bitter, and then she lowered her eyes and deliberately said: “The concubine’s house is poor. In the past, in such winter days, the concubine could only wear single clothes. I can think of the feeling of the biting cold wind hitting my body.”

Tang Wu didn’t answer a word of Cheng Yu’s question, but she trembled and uttered a memory of the past. And anyone with a discerning eye can understand what this memory means.

The past is not beautiful, like a scar, and to mention it is to expose the scar and sprinkle salt. In this way, it is equivalent to blocking Cheng Yu’s words.

Sure enough, after Tang Wu finished speaking, Cheng Yu’s expression instantly froze there.

In Tang Wu’s eyes, Cheng Yu was forced to take a step back.

But in Cheng Yu’s heart, he couldn’t bear to ask any more.

—

For the next few days, there was nothing wrong with each other. Although Cheng Yu would say a few words to her every day, he never mentioned the “old things” again.

It took seven days to travel and only half a day to the capital.

These days, as long as Tang Wu feels sleepy, she will forcibly close her eyes and let her sleep as long as she can, otherwise the whole team will have to stop if she throws up.

Repeatedly like this, it will take a lot of time.

But it is said that the more you sleep, the more you can’t wake up. Now, she can feel it. In the past few days, she often closed her eyes and one day passed, but when she opened them again, she was still dizzy…

Soon, she closed her eyes again.

When passing by the Yunjin Pavilion near Longhua Temple, Cheng Yu got off his horse and went to buy her the pastries and crisp chicken. He quietly opened the bead curtain and put the food box on her feet.

When Tang Wu woke up gradually, he subconsciously opened the curtain and saw the familiar street scene instantly.

This…is going to be Daoyongyang Street soon.

At this moment, Tang Wu moved around and just hit the box at his feet.

The sandalwood box was engraved with the word Yunjin. Tang Wu knew at a glance that this was a snack at Yunjin Pavilion’s house.

Yunjin Pavilion’s snacks are very famous in Beijing. Mung bean cake melts in the mouth. Xu Duo secretly bought it for her once. After so many years, she seems to remember the taste.

Unexpectedly, he went to buy it for himself.

Tang Wu couldn’t help laughing wryly.

Having been in contact with him for a long time along the way, she knew him a bit. Ordinarily, she recovered his face that day, and he didn’t have to work on her anymore, giving her gruel and steamed buns, she would not complain.

But Cheng Yu did not.

After passing the barren land, I passed several states and several tea houses along the way. Whenever he arrives at a new place, he will buy it for her in different places.

Three meals a day, never repeated. Even for fear that she thought he had something to do, every time he sent food, it was quietly placed on her feet like today.

Tang Wu couldn’t help but curl his lips and smile, nothing more, since he wanted to know, she said so.

After a while, she opened the curtain and called Shizi in Cheng Yu’s direction.

Cheng Yu stopped when he heard the sound, rolled over and dismounted, and smiled: “Is the madam uncomfortable again?”

Tang Wu shook his head and talkedly said: “The concubine wants to say a few words with the world’s son alone.”

Hearing this, Cheng Yu couldn’t help being stunned. He looked at her with a solemn gaze and thought something was wrong, so he immediately got into the carriage.

As soon as he sat down, he opened his mouth very eagerly: “What’s the matter?”

Tang Wu glanced at his concerned eyes, turned the front of the conversation, and directly answered the question he asked that day, “The concubine has no brothers or sisters.”

Cheng Yu was taken aback.

Then, she lifted the curtain of the side window and pointed at the narrow alley in Yongyang Street with her index finger, “Do you know where that is?”

Cheng Yu nodded. Although he didn’t get involved in the fireworks and willow alleys, he still knew where they were. In other words, he had never eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run.

But after Cheng Yu nodded, he couldn’t help frowning. He really didn’t know, what did she do with a girl?

“When my concubine was ten years old, she was sold here by her biological parents. The elder son looked inside, and it was the house with the big red lantern hanging at the end of the alley.” Tang Wu paused, and continued: “Before leaving the pavilion, the concubine has been in Goulanwa. As a girl in Sheli, if it weren’t for the luck to meet His Royal Highness, the concubine would have been Cheng Amber’s twelfth concubine.”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding temperature seemed to have receded, and her appearance in the light of wind and clouds pierced his eyes.

Cheng Yu was completely speechless, his hands clenched into fists, shaking uncontrollably.

What, how could this be?

No wonder…

No wonder she has been reluctant to talk about it, and no wonder Cheng Amber dared to be so brave to go to the concubine’s concubine’s room…

Tang Wu looked at this vigorous young hero, her face suddenly changed after hearing this… She immediately lowered her eyes and no longer looked directly at him.

She thought, this might be the world’s view of her.

“The concubine is very grateful for being taken care of by the son in the past few days, but what the concubine said today is something that your Royal Highness does not allow the concubine to declare. This is already an exception to the son of the son. I hope that the son of the son will take it as it is after listening to it. I forgot about a rumor in the market.” The words were very cold, and they were no longer the way they were when they laughed the previous two days.

Just when she thought he would turn around and leave, Cheng Yu suddenly said: “I knew this before, I should chop up Cheng Anbo to feed the dog that day.”

The tone was harsh, and a sense of killing floated from his mouth.

Tang Wu was taken aback, then looked back at him. She never expected that he would jump out such a sentence.

But let’s not say, according to Cheng Yu’s temperament, if he chopped up and fed the dog, he might not just talk about it…

After all, the Cheng family has always been famous in the capital.

I remember a polo match. At that time, many people were rushing to see the marriage. They didn’t know who it was. They actually said in front of everyone: “The first daughter of the Cheng family is a sick child. No matter how high the status is, I My mother doesn’t like her, not to mention that she might have become a village girl since she was raised in the mountains, she said that this heir, marrying her, can she still have a son? Becoming a widower is almost the same.”

I have to say that there is indeed a basis for saying that the wall has ears. As soon as his voice fell, he saw Cheng Yu, who happened to be passing by, stopped.

Cheng Yu sneered and knocked out seven teeth on the spot.

With such a heavy shot, everyone thought that this elder son would be pressed by Cheng Guogong to apologize to others, but they did not expect that one month, two months…

The Cheng family uncovered the matter unilaterally…

Looking at Tang Wu’s flustered expression at the moment, Cheng Yu couldn’t help but gradually lost his consciousness.

With her delicate appearance, she doesn’t know how much she has suffered, how many losses she has suffered…

Delicate!

The two words floating in his mind seemed to shoot down like a sky light. His mother told him that he and his sister were twins, and they almost had a miscarriage when they were pregnant in May. The doctor said it was because one of them robbed the other of nutrients…

Therefore, at that time, his mother took a lot of **** flowers to protect the baby… This led to him having a smell that made him unhappy since he was a child.

Because of this scent, he also painted a lot of strong-smelling herbs to try to cover it up.

If she was Concubine Cheng, she would naturally have this smell in her body.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yu suddenly leaned to Tang Wu’s side, and the one who was close was almost pasted.
