Part 2
"Chief Steward Zhao, is there something the matter?" In front of the door a middle-aged man stood, was the chief steward of Prince Xian Manor Chief Steward Xing Zhao, looks more serious, still consider a modest man.
"I said, cool girl, where did you go so late?" Chief Steward Zhao rigid face asked at her.
“It's not important, I, exactly unoccupied terribly, therefore, walked around." Chu Yu Liang stood facing at him did not mind to answer back, suddenly re-asked him:
"Steward Zhao"
"So late to look for me, on the other hand, is there something you want to tell me to do?"
"En." Looking at her, wearing a night walk clothes, Chief Steward Zhao continuously wrinkle his brows,
"In the future, if it's nothing important, do not run wildly all over the place, if you break the manor rules. Prince will blame the responsibility towards me along with you that we couldn't afford."
Warning finished, then, he simply mentioned right away his proper business: "You, quickly change clothes, go to study room, prince sent me over to call you."
"Oh?"
Chu Yu Liang nodded. She came in Prince Xian Manor for several days that cold- hearted man finally remembers to notice her?
—————————————–
Waiting for her outside the room to change in servant girl clothes, Chief Zhao took her and led to the study room door, then depart.
At door took a deep breath, she barely knocked on the door, heard inside a voice came through,
"Come in" She began to push the door and went in.
Study room was very spacious, very tidy; table on top lit an oil lamp, a certain man whilst on desk behind focus reading. Dim light scattered on neither man's deep solid facial features, nor his face to bring out a gentle feeling. Contrary this large room towards him with an oil lamp beside was the most eye-catching, appears to other people particularly gloomy and indifference. As if others, unable to get close at his body generally.
No one starts to speak a word, until a tea period passed by, the man put down the book, his serene and hidden in-depth eyes suddenly flash at her,
"Chu Yu Liang"
“… …”
Regarding his straightforward call up, Chu Yu Liang in a second became expressionless, then her blank expression recovered back. She now in raze being cheated by this man and come up with dupe feeling, thereupon, she could not help but ripped off the veil on her face and shows her face scar, with bitter expression:
"Prince, since formally already recognized me, why even want to pretend not to know?"
At bamboo forest, she instantly could tell a sense of familiarity, sooner than was firmly confirmed that they have already seen, but the impression was not deep.
Looked at her face filled gloomy expression, Yan Hongxuan middling eyes was fiercely shows, regained his look, he pushed the portrait above the table, a mug expressionless asked, "Miss Chu, familiar with this person?"
Chu Yu Liang fixed her eye to take a look, she quickly stepped forward and picked up the portrait, in front of his face, squeezed the portrait into a ball, and threw at her foot, ferociously stamp.
"Ben Wang can determine Miss Chu is guilty of" Yan Hongxuan appeared a smile on his face towards her actions, look as if a gist of ridicule, very amuse.
"I dare that this was all a scam!"
"Pooh!" Chu Yu Liang spit in front of him
Chu Yu Liang never consider to face him with angry look, she reason out: "A dead person portrait such a good portrait made you change and became this way, perhaps you are contented?
Yan Hongxuan lip confidently shows.
Staring at Chu Yu Liang violent behavior, he faintly looks sideways, suddenly said: "Miss Chu, It would be seem that Ben Wang expression meant you put an importance?”
Chu Yu Liang raised her head looked him directly: "Prince don't need to tell, I understand very well. Since Prince already knows, then, I leave."
Besides, what’s the use to speak? She was a wanted criminal in that portrait at his hands. It was very clear that he already knows everything, as a fiancé, she still have a face to remain, doing no good to this man will alter and present her to the authorities, she must simply look like a fool.
When she finished, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop". Given that, behind her heard the man gloomy voice.
Chu Yu Liang stopped her pace, stares at the door, "Prince still more to discuss?"
"Since, Ben Wang promised to save you, naturally will not go back on words, Miss Chu may stay in Prince Xian Manor in a while."
Heard what was he said, Chu Yu Liang turned around and astonished stares at him, "Did you really mean it?"Resolve her doubts with look that discerned her eyes.
Yan Hongxuan deliberate face, askance at her: "Ben Wang although not a noble character, may not also a nasty person; General Chu formally put his life to save Ben Wang. Today you meet with misfortune, Ben Wang put back that favor given the situation."
He spoke very undisturbed also very calm, even that deep eyes utmost care not superfluous with color and luster, did not feel a little bit feel his typical idea. But Chu Yu Liang pondered that his words would not be fabricated
She and this man has been engaged, with Chu Yunzhou employs an outstanding military service through battle, she was not clear why would Chu Yunzhou want this kind of arrangement. Since, naturally it was the emperor longing for his daughter to get marry, why not let her daughter marry the crown prince perhaps second prince Zhao, after all, those two princes was his imperial emperor most highly regard son's, unfortunately she want her daughter to marry this perennial enfeoffment prince that rarely returns to capital his highness 3rd Prince Xian.
Chu Yunzhou acted as official for many years, should not make such choice to knows about.
He spoke so frank, Chu Yu Liang expected no good to be pretentious, thinking at her circumstances nowadays, her face showing a touch of sadness: " Prince thus protect me, could it be that you're not worried being a joke to everyone?"
“Have you ever done that?”
"No".
Chu Yu Liang could not believe, shakes her head to affirm what he said was untrue. He asked with pessimism may words has meaning she able to understand. She felt at ease, look the man with kind eyes, she,s proudly spoke, "Said I murder and commit an adultery, without exception, all those words was false. If Prince does not trust, may find a person to check the body.”
Things have reached to this stage, what she needs to hide at this point?
She now finally understand the ‘life-saving straw’ meaning, and in front of this man, was not exactly save her life rice straw?
But she was also clear that in order to let him believe in herself, first of all, to prove her innocence was body examination. For a conservative ancient woman may be a shame, but for her, nothing shameful, she was a virgin, this is the truth.
