Chapter 136: The story of a man with a baby looking for his wife (16)
People don't dare to be careless when talking about ghosts and gods, let alone what the Taoist priest of the famous Shinto temple said.
Chu Xiang was in trouble.
Chu Zhao and Su Su were extremely anxious and quickly asked Chang Yu for advice on what to do.
Chang Yu smiled heartily, "It's very simple. Miss Chu will live with me in a Taoist temple for a while, and all the evil spirits she has contracted will definitely dissipate."
Chu Xiang frowned and said: "I think my health is very good, I don't need to bother the Taoist priest, and I just went home, and I don't want to go far. I just want to stay at home and recuperate."
Chang Yu tilted his head slightly, with a simple expression, "That's it, okay then."
"No!" Chu Zhao said immediately: "Xiangxiang, this is not a trivial matter. Taoist priest Chang Yu is a kind-hearted master, so he wants to help us. Don't let the Taoist priest's good intentions go down, just go to the Shinto Temple Stay for a few days and I will take care of everything.”
Su Su also came over to persuade Chu Xiang. At this time, they could not let Chu Xiang do whatever he wanted.
Chang Yu was the one who brought up this topic, but now he is staying out of it. He just keeps smiling and doesn't say another word. Or maybe it's because he knows that there will be enough people to persuade Chu Xiang to change. idea, so he didn't have to waste his breath.
Chu Xiang was upset when she heard this. She glanced at Pei Yuzhou and thought of a good excuse to change the subject, "Young master Pei is here. He must have something important to discuss."
Pei Yuzhou was suddenly called out and was a little stunned. He thought that this cousin must not want to talk to him.
When Pei Yuzhou was mentioned, Chu Xiang's parents looked very unhappy because they all felt that this person was unlucky.
Pei Yuzhou seized the opportunity and said: "Yes, it is about my engagement with Miss Chu..."
"Then let's talk alone."
Before Pei Yuzhou could finish his words, he was directly interrupted by Chu Xiang. He closed his mouth, not used to Chu Xiang's current neatness.
Chu Xiang's parents were naturally reluctant to let Chu Xiang and Pei Yuzhou talk alone, but there were outsiders around. After all, this was a family scandal, and it was hard to show it too obviously.
In fact, even though we were chatting alone, Chu Xiang also brought Yingying and other servants with him, so there was no need to worry about anything happening.
Chu Zhao could only entertain Chang Yu to the guest room, but no one paid attention to the second bedroom and his family.
After everyone else had left, Fang Luoluo held Chu Zhizhi's hand and asked in a low voice: "Zhizhi, tell me honestly, what exactly do you think of Pei Yuzhou?"
Chu Wei and Fang Luoluo were dissatisfied with the fact that Pei Yuzhou had raised their daughter as an outhouse, but as time went by, they could see that Pei Yuzhou had not wavered due to external pressure and had always treated Chu Zhizhi. In this respect, Pei Yuzhou seems to be a good man.
Chu Wei also said: "Yes, what do you think of Pei Yuzhou? Maybe this time they go out to talk, Chu Xiang doesn't want to let go, and Pei Yuzhou will change his mind again."
"I still hope he changes his mind." Chu Zhizhi snorted lowly, not caring about Pei Yuzhou.
The world only knew that Pei Yuzhou was an upright gentleman. Only Chu Zhizhi knew that this man was a dangerous lunatic. Chu Zhizhi was almost imprisoned by Pei Yuzhou several times. Such lunatic was not a rare thing for her.
But...
Chu Zhizhi couldn't help but glance at the door. Remembering what her father said about the possibility of Chu Xiang and Pei Yuzhou rekindling their old relationship, she felt depressed and panicked. In the courtyard, the night wind blew, making it a bit cold.
Pei Yuzhou tried to get straight to the point, but before he said anything, Chu Xiang had already taken the lead and said: "I agree with the dissolution of the engagement."
Pei Yuzhou was slightly stunned. A lot of the words he had prepared were not spoken, it was like a fist hitting cotton, and the uncomfortable feeling was a bit strong.
After a moment, Pei Yuzhou came back to his senses, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I..."
"But I have something to ask."
Pei Yuzhou was interrupted again and was silent for a while. He asked: "What do you want to ask?"
Chu Xiang said: "I have forgotten a lot of things. I heard from others that you and Chu Zhizhi had an affair three years ago, and at that time, you were still living in our house, right?"
Pei Yuzhou is not the kind of person who dares not admit what he does. He also knows that what he does is inconsistent with etiquette, but now that everyone has spoken out, there is no need to hide it.
He nodded, "Yes, I am sorry for you, but emotional matters cannot be forced..."
"In other words, you are the one at fault in our engagement, right?"
Pei Yuzhou is now used to Chu Xiang not liking to hear what he has to say. He vaguely feels that his words are like nonsense in her ears, which is a strange feeling.
Before, Pei Yuzhou was obsessed with meeting Chu Xiang, just to explain the matter to her clearly and to terminate the engagement, which would be beneficial to both of them.
In other words, Pei Yuzhou is the one who wants to abandon this relationship. However, now that Chu Xiang is full of impatience, the positions between them seem to have been reversed. He is the one who wants to be abandoned. .
Pei Yuzhou suppressed the subtle emotions in his heart and said: "Zhizhi and I met three years ago, but I didn't know that she was the lost daughter of the second master of the Chu family. It was two years ago..."
"Then the matter of breaking off the engagement should be decided by me." Chu Xiang didn't waste any time and made it clear at once, "I will write the letter of cancellation of the engagement. I will have nothing to do with whether you and Chu Zhizhi get married in the future. It doesn’t matter. Of course, I am married to someone else and have children, and I have nothing to do with you. We have bridges to bridges and roads to roads.”
Pei Yuzhou did not feel as relaxed as he imagined when his goal was achieved, because Chu Xiang said that she would write the divorce letter, which is a great insult to today's men.
At first, Pei Yuzhou's parents and Chu Xiang's parents considered getting closer to each other before making an engagement for their two children. Later, both of Pei Yuzhou's parents died and the family fell into decline. The Chu family did not add insult to injury and cut off their relationship with him, so when Pei Yuzhou raised him After the incident in the outer room was exposed, he received a lot of criticism.
Now that he is the one whose engagement has been broken off, we don't know what the rumors will turn into.
But Pei Yuzhou is not an unreasonable person. As long as he can resolve the engagement with Chu Xiang, he can legitimately marry Chu Zhizhi as his wife.
So after thinking about it, he nodded and said: "I will do as you say."
Pei Yuzhou didn't know if Chu Xiang still remembered the fact that she was left abroad in those two years. If this incident spread, her reputation would definitely be ruined. He still felt a little guilty and said: "If there is any need in the future, I will I can help..."
"If we meet again in the future, just be strangers."
Pei Yuzhou watched Chu Xiang leave without stopping, and his subtle emotions became more serious.
