Chapter 137 Gold and Silver Vulgar Things
Chapter 137 Gold and Silver Vulgar Things
Inside the main hall of Yongning Palace, Mei Susu curled up in the corner of the bed, her eyes and nose were red from crying. Xuanyuan Che stood in front of the bed and looked at her coldly. There was an unshakable chill in his eyes, but compared to the chill, there was more heartache hidden under the chill.
But he didn't say anything, nor did he go forward to hug Mei Susu. He clenched his hands in his sleeves and resisted the urge to coax her.
He really wanted to dig out her heart and take a look at it to see what she was thinking and whether he was there at all.
If so, how can we place him in a dispensable position?
Was it because he didn't give her enough? Did he wrong her?
"Cheche~Don't look at me like that, I'm scared."
Mei Susu hugged her legs, sniffed, and tears rolled down her fair face.
Xuanyuan Che raised his eyes to look at her, without a trace of smile on his face: "Susu, aren't you going to give me an explanation? I'm waiting."
Mei Susu really wanted to cry but couldn't, and she didn't dare to lie to him, so she had to explain to him honestly.
"I treated the emperor and wanted to get some money, but I was afraid he wouldn't give it to me, so I made up an excuse..."
Mei Susu felt more and more guilty as she spoke. Not to mention that the identity she told Emperor Shunde was fake, it was only after she said this that she realized she had been exposed again.
If she told others that she is a cat-shaped person who can treat illnesses, who would believe her?
What's more, she was acting all the time afterwards, and Xuanyuan Che heard everything she said to Emperor Shunde. It seemed useless for her to explain herself at this moment.
Just as Mei Susu thought, Xuanyuan Che was not moved at all after she said this, but his face became darker and darker.
"I...I didn't deliberately lie to the emperor. I was just caught eavesdropping and was afraid that revealing my true identity would ruin your plan, so I had to make up an identity. I know lying is wrong. I will go to the emperor tomorrow and tell him the truth."
Mei Susu curled up in the corner, small and with hungry eyes, as if she was being bullied.
If there was another person who was unaware of the situation present at this moment, he would definitely accuse Xuanyuan Che without hesitation for being so cruel as to bully such a delicate little beauty.
"Susu is not behaving well." Xuanyuan Che sat beside the couch, leaned over and grabbed Mei Susu's ankle, then before Mei Susu could react, he pulled her from the corner to his front.
"Hmm..." Mei Susu exclaimed in surprise, and when she looked up, she was already beside Xuanyuan Che.
Xuanyuan Che's handsome face was only half an inch away from her. If she moved a little closer, she could even kiss his thin lips.
The cool and subtle fragrance from his body enveloped Mei Susu, causing her heart to beat faster instantly.
“Clear…Clear…Clear…”
Mei Susu leaned back unconsciously, trying to stay away from him.
It was too close, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to resist kissing him.
But now doesn't seem to be the time to think about these things. There's something wrong with the redness at the corners of his eyes.
"I said that if Susu wanted the moon in the water, I would fish it out for her. Why did Susu ask others for money?"
Mei Susu dodged backwards, while Xuanyuan Che moved forward.
Until Mei Susu could no longer lean back, Xuanyuan Che supported his arms on both sides of her, restraining her, his starry eyes shone scarlet.
"Could it be that others can give Susu what I can't? Or maybe Susu would rather have others' than me's."
What kind of words are these? Mei Susu raised her pretty eyebrows and immediately retorted: "No!"
"Nothing." Xuanyuan Che asked back calmly.
Mei Susu didn't dare to look him in the eye, but she wanted to kiss his lips. Finally, she had to lower her gaze to his collar and said softly, "I keep everything that Cheche gave me, but how can what Cheche gave me be the same as what others give me?"
Xuanyuan Che asked unhappily, "How is it different? Could it be that the treasure I gave Susu is not pleasing to Susu's eyes?"
"That's not the case." Mei Susu was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she immediately shook her head like a rattle: "Everything Cheche gave me are treasures, and I like them all very much. But it's because they are too valuable that I have to keep them."
Mei Susu looked towards Xuanyuan Che's eyes, but when she saw the dim light in his eyes, she was so scared that she quickly looked away: "Cheche is different from others. I feel bad about spending Cheche's money, so if I can spend other people's money, why shouldn't I spend it? Why shouldn't I take the free money?"
Xuanyuan Che didn't buy it. What he had the most was treasures and silver. The gifts he gave to Mei Susu were all top-notch treasures, rare and unique pieces that were hard to find in the world.
The goldfinch necklace she wore around her neck alone was enough to ensure her a life of luxury, not to mention the other items.
He deeply felt that those vulgar things like gold and silver were not worthy of his Su Su.
But this heartless kid just wants those things.
"I have no shortage of treasures, nor do I lack money. It is enough to support Su Su."
After Xuanyuan Che finished speaking, he picked up Mei Susu with a dark face and went out of the hall.
Mei Susu didn't know what he was going to do, so she asked hurriedly, "Cheche, what are you going to do?"
Seeing his gloomy face, she was really afraid that he would pick her up and throw her out.
Xuanyuan Che said nothing, just held her and walked quickly.
Mei Susu was relieved to see that he was not going to throw her out, but as the scenery around her became more and more unfamiliar, she began to have some worries again.
Would this guy throw her to some remote cold palace in a rage? Why is it getting more and more remote?
It is said that the cold palace is filled with crazy or mentally ill concubines, and the howling of ghosts in the middle of the night is very scary.
Xuanyuan Che would not want to torture her in this way, throwing her into the cold palace to stay alone for a night to make her realize her mistakes.
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Mei Susu's face turned pale instantly. She was afraid of everything except ghosts. If she was to stay alone in the cold palace for a night, it would be better to just give her a hemp rope.
"Cheche...where are we going?" Mei Susu looked at the desolate scenery around her fearfully and gently tugged at Xuanyuan Che's clothes a few times.
Xuanyuan Che still didn't reply to her, and Mei Susu's nerves were instantly tense.
What does it mean not to speak?
Could it be true as she thought?
"Oh!"
A tile fell from somewhere, making a loud noise.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
Mei Susu, who was already nervous, was frightened by the loud noise and screamed, closing her eyes and shrinking into Xuanyuan Che's arms, trembling.
"Wuwuwuwu... I was wrong, Cheche, I know I was wrong, I will never lie again, and I will never lie to others and say that I have no money. I was wrong, please don't send me to the cold palace, I am afraid of the dark and ghosts, wuwuwuwu..."
As Mei Susu started crying, Xuanyuan Che's body gradually stopped.
"Su Su." Xuanyuan Che called her, wanting her to look up at him from his arms.
But Mei Susu grabbed his collar tightly, buried her head in his arms, and refused to look up.
Xuanyuan Che felt a chill slowly creeping through his clothes; it was the person in his arms crying.
He frowned and immediately loosened his arms around Mei Susu's waist. He instead hugged her waist, then forcefully spread her legs apart and made her wrap her legs around his waist. He held her butt with one hand and held her waist with the other, forcing her to stand up straight with nowhere to hide.
