As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 442 Hesitation is the best answer
Xie Changyuan was a little upset when he saw her hesitation.

He was going to make a few more jokes with his original nonchalant attitude, but suddenly he no longer had the intention.

Xie Changyuan pondered for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "Then think about it slowly."

Then he turned and left.

Chen Shulan looked at his back in astonishment.

Is he angry?

Are you still joking?

Chen Shulan was unsure for a moment and stood by the door hesitating for a long time.

Qing Moss poked half of his head out: "Miss, why is the Fifth Young Master gone?"

Chen Shulan lowered her eyes and said nothing. She shook her head and turned around and entered the room.

After Qing Moss followed in, she saw Chen Shulan sitting on the round stool beside the table, looking at the ground, lost in her own thoughts.

Moss couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Ever since Chen Shulan's condition recovered, it seems to have been like this, falling into her own thoughts every now and then.

Chen Shulan didn't talk much to begin with, so she couldn't speak more than a few words every day.

Except for the necessary communication with Nanny Liu and Qing Moss, Chen Shulan has not been able to chat with anyone for a long time.

Qing Moss also took the initiative to chat with Chen Shulan about some interesting things, but Chen Shulan was really not very interested. Most of the time, Qing Moss talked, and Chen Shulan listened with a smile, and occasionally nodded or said "hmm".

The rest of the time there was silence.

Qing Moss knew that his lady was absent-minded, so after trying several times, she couldn't arouse Chen Shulan's interest, so she had to give up.

Aunt Liu said that the young lady is gone.

So now the lady’s spirit has flown somewhere?
Qing Moss stepped forward hesitantly, wanting to ask Chen Shulan what she wanted to eat, or just say something casually to bring her soul back to the young lady.

Otherwise, what should I do if I get sick again after a long time?
But as soon as she took two steps forward, her sleeves sank.

Qing Moss turned around to look, but it was Grandma Liu who had woken up from her lunch break at some point and was holding her behind her.

Qing Moss said: "Mom——"

"go out."

Aunt Liu lowered her voice and pulled Qing Moss away.

When they arrived at the corridor, Qing Moss looked worriedly at Chen Shulan inside and said, "Mommy, the young lady is in a trance again. How can it be like this all the time?"

"The lady is thinking about something."

Aunt Liu whispered: "Don't disturb her, she'll be fine if she thinks about it. It'll be fine."

Qing Moss was still worried: "But -"

"Don't worry, the worst is over, what else can you do now?"

Qing Moss was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was the truth, so he nodded and left.

Mother Liu looked back and saw Chen Shulan sitting upright at the table, her hands clasped in front of her knees, her eyes lowered, her eyelashes flickering every now and then.

There was no expression on the thin and small face, except for the eyebrows slightly furrowed or the lips pursed from time to time.

Aunt Liu sighed softly, knowing that the young lady was making trouble for herself again.

In the past year, many things happened to the young lady, ups and downs, and Grandma Liu saw them all and felt pain in her heart.

The young lady seems to be loved by the King of Zhongshan, but in fact, the King of Zhongshan is always very busy. How much real care is there?Only the two servants, she and Qing Moss, were always by her side and really looked after the young lady.

There used to be a guard named Chen Qingci.

It's just that Chen Qingci... was limited by his status, so even though he had intentions, he was still timid.

It didn't make the young lady really happy for a few days, but it kept making her anxious and worried.

Mr. Xie Wu may not have a very good reputation, but when the young lady is with him, she is truly happy, and he is also very capable of making her look embarrassed.

As long as the young lady can use some attentiveness and make Mr. Xie pay attention, she may not be able to sing harmoniously in the future.

It's just that the young lady is sometimes stubborn... Nanny Liu sighed again, knowing that she couldn't persuade her to do this kind of thing, so she could only rely on the young lady to figure it out herself.

She shook her head and turned around, taking Qingmo to prepare dinner for Chen Shulan.

*
In the room, Chen Shulan sat quietly for a long time.

Thinking about the conversation he had just had with Xie Changyuan, his thoughts gradually began to shift, remembering the time when he was ill and the several interactions he had in the capital.

I also think of Xie Changyuan and the dancing girl.

For a time, my heart was full of mixed feelings.

She felt as if she minded the dancer.

She had been raised as a lady from aristocratic families since she was a child, dignified and courteous, and had perfect etiquette. She had never seen Xie Changyuan drinking wine with the dancing girl that day.

This planted a knot in her heart and reminded her of what kind of person Xie Changyuan was.

He was a man of a romantic nature and his reputation was known all over the world.

He himself said that there are many confidantes in Beijing.

The scenes he had with those confidante must have been more...even more extreme than the scene he saw with that dancer that day, right?

Chen Shulan bit her lip and felt her throat sore.

Maybe he is only a little new to himself. Once the newness wears off, he may have to live his original free and easy life again.

So when the time comes, where will I go as Xie Changyuan's wife?
Lock yourself in the house, no matter what the heavens or the earth, let him flow around outside, and then when you get home, you don't know what to do and live your life pretending to be deaf and mute?
It feels like...she doesn't seem to be able to do it very well.

If you get married and escape the Chen family, but enter another unsatisfactory environment, then why do you want to get married?

Moreover, isn’t getting married a happy thing?
When did marriage become a means of escaping adversity and suffering?

Chen Shulan's mood became more and more heavy, and she felt that the soreness in her throat had faded away, and she actually felt a little bitter.

In fact, she doesn't have to stay in Northern Hebei or go to the capital to live.

In this world, there is always room for her.

It's not just about getting married, it's not about finding a man to depend on.

It's actually good to live a simple life.

But the more he thought about it, the more Xie Changyuan's passionate peach blossom eyes floated back and forth in the image in his mind, and there was a bit of reluctance in his heart.

This libertine——

Chen Shulan took a deep breath and raised her eyes to look out the window.

it's getting dark.

Has she been sitting there for so long?

No wonder my body is so stiff and uncomfortable.

Aunt Liu looked at her and immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Miss, would you like to eat something? It's very late -"

It's past dinner time.

"I don't want to eat..." Chen Shulan stood up holding the table, looking a little hesitant: "I, I -"

She hesitated for a long time, looked at Nanny Liu and said, "Nanny, what should I do? I don't know what to do."

Grandma Liu has watched Chen Shulan grow up since she was a child. She treats Chen Shulan like her own child and understands her thoughts. Just looking at Chen Shulan's expression, she knows what Chen Shulan is asking her.

She said warmly: "Miss is hesitating. In fact, hesitation is the best answer, isn't it?"

Chen Shulan was stunned.

Aunt Liu sighed and said softly: "The fact that you didn't deny this matter so decisively proves that you are also looking forward to a marriage with Mr. Xie."

"You are hesitant, maybe because you are worried about the future, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future? More than a year ago, I thought you would definitely marry into the royal family. In the blink of an eye, things have changed."

"Old slave feels that it is better to live well in the present. The most important expectation in my heart at the moment is the path that should be chosen."

"As for the future, God has his own arrangements... If you are afraid of regrets, everyone in the world will regret it. No matter which path you choose, some people will regret it."
