Chapter 200: Childhood sweethearts with the villain?
"Why, Miss Chu seems to be afraid of me?"
"Brother, you are joking. I don't even know you. What is there to be afraid of?"
"I don't know him, so why did you keep staring at me in the attic just now?"
"Maybe this brother has seen it wrong. I was clearly in the yard just now. The servants nearby can testify to that."
Duan Linyuan rarely showed a smile. This little girl was lying with her eyes open. She was the mistress of Prince Zhan's Mansion, and the servants in the family would of course testify for her.
Moreover, their eyes met just now, so it was hard for her to pretend that nothing had happened.
"Okay, maybe I saw it wrong."
Chu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't continue asking questions.
Although this was in her own home and Duan Linyuan certainly couldn't do anything to her, Chu Yuan felt a little insecure when facing him.
Maybe she came to this world to help Duan Linyuan, but she wanted to give up this mission.
"Since this brother is fine, I will take my leave first."
Duan Linyuan turned aside to block her way: "I am a little bored, how about Miss Chu take me to visit this Zhan Palace?"
Chu Yuan snorted in his heart. This was only him. He wanted the eldest daughter of Prince Zhan's mansion to accompany him with just a few words.
But she couldn't refuse. After all, the guest was a guest and it would be bad to offend him.
So Chu Yuan resigned himself to his fate and took Duan Linyuan to the garden and introduced the scenery there to him.
After walking a few steps, Chu Yuan remembered that he hadn't asked his name yet: "I wonder which family you are from, brother?"
"I am Duan Linyuan, son of General Duan Qinglie."
"So it's Master Duan. I wonder if the Master Duan Shengyang I met today is your brother?"
Since contact with Duan Linyuan is unavoidable, Chu Yuan plans to directly tell him about Duan Shengyang's behavior today, so as to sound a warning to him.
It would be best to let the two of them fight among themselves and not involve the Chu family.
Unexpectedly, Duan Linyuan didn't respond at all: "Miss Chu just called me brother, why are you calling me Master now? Doesn't this make us seem very distant?"
Chu Yuan took a deep breath. What was going on with Duan Linyuan? Why was there any need to be fussy about a small title?
Shouldn't we follow her lead and discuss the matter of the illegitimate child?
And if she remembered correctly, this was the first time they met each other. Wasn't it normal for them to be a little distant?
No matter how much she complained in her heart, she never showed it on her face.
"brother"
"This name sounds better to me. Don't forget it in the future, little sister."
After a stroll, I met an interesting sister. This trip to Prince Zhan's Palace was worthwhile.
In fact, he had known about Duan Shengyang's affairs for a long time. This man was a restless person and had been making small moves ever since he returned to the mansion.
Now he even dares to set his sights on the War King's daughter. He really doesn't know what he's talking about.
It seems that I have to give this illegitimate child a good beating, so as not to disturb the sister he just met.
Duan Linyuan sat in the pavilion for a while and then returned to the banquet. Chu Yuan was also freed and returned to his room.
From what I've seen today, Duan Linyuan has a pretty gentle personality, not at all as cold and ruthless as described in the books.
Yes, it is not surprising that a person would have a distorted personality after living in darkness for twenty years.
However, Chu Yuan didn’t quite understand what kind of contradiction could make his father torture someone like this?
The next day at noon, the family sat together for lunch.
Chu Yunxiao picked up a piece of green vegetables for Chu Yuan with his chopsticks and said casually, "Yuanyuan, I heard that you get along well with the young master of the Duan family?"
Don't be fooled by his calm appearance. In fact, his back teeth are almost bitten off.
God knows how angry he was when he heard his subordinates report yesterday that his daughter went up to the attic just to peek at the boy named Duan, and even called him brother as soon as they met.
The two of them were chatting and laughing as they strolled around the garden. The key point is, the boy even touched his daughter's head!
"It's OK. He's a nice guy, like an older brother."
After hearing this, Chu Yunxiao was a little upset. What was so good about that boy?
Chu Yuan sensed that the atmosphere was not right and asked cautiously, "Doesn't father like him?"
Just as Chu Yunxiao was about to list the boy's shortcomings to his daughter, he was hit by his own princess.
"Yuanyuan can play with whoever she wants, why do you care so much?"
His two children are 5 and 7 years old. It’s too early for him to think about all those things now.
Besides, Chu Yuan is the only child in Prince Zhan's mansion. It's rare for him to meet someone of the same age with whom he gets along well. It's also good to have a playmate.
Seeing the look in his wife's eyes, Chu Yunxiao did not dare to say anything more. He could only comfort Chu Yuan: "It's okay, Yuanyuan. Father doesn't dislike him."
Chu Yuan actually wanted to take this opportunity to get some information out of his father.
But judging from his current behavior, it doesn't seem like he has any deep hatred with the Duan family.
Not only have the doubts in my mind not been resolved, but there seem to be even more of them. What should I do?
Fortunately, there are still three years before the war. Three years is enough time to change a lot of things.
Perhaps she could ease the relationship between the two families by making friends with Duan Linyuan.
Duan Linyuan returned home and was obviously in a good mood.
His mother, Han Suxin, the mistress of the general's mansion, was puzzled when she saw the faint smile on her son's face.
This kid has always been serious since he was young, and he has inherited everything from his father.
It was rare to see him happy today, so I asked curiously, "Yuan'er, did you encounter any happy things when you went out today?"
"Mother, I went to a banquet with my father at the Zhan Palace today. I met Miss Chu from the Zhan Palace and I thought she was very cute."
Mrs. Han was called back to her parents' home today by an urgent letter, so she did not attend the banquet with them. She felt a little regretful when she heard her son say this.
"Oh? What you said makes me curious. I will definitely visit Prince Zhan's mansion when I have the chance."
When Duan Linyuan saw that his goal had been achieved, he smiled secretly: "Then the mother must not forget her son."
The mother and son chatted for a while, and then he went back to his room to rest.
When there was no one around, Duan Linyuan knocked on the table three times, and then a black shadow suddenly appeared in the room.
"An Yi greets the lord. I wonder what the lord wants me to do."
"Go, find something for my new brother to do, so he won't disturb the peace."
"Yes."
After receiving the order, An Yi suddenly disappeared. No one knew that such a conversation took place in Duan Linyuan's room tonight.
