Chu Lingxi buried her in Chu Junlan's arms again with grievance and sobbed, "I dare not say anything about this. I know my parents will not allow it. Not to mention my parents, even my second uncle and grandfather will not allow it. I can only talk to Brother Zhan privately."

Chu Junlan was a little puzzled, why would she be willing to tell her cousin about the little girl’s relationship? Is it really just because Chu Lingxi is the only girl in the family?

Chu Junlan looked at Chu Zhan in confusion.

Chu Zhan sighed: "Don't you ask who the little girl's sweetheart is?"

Chu Junlan looked at Chu Zhan, suddenly realized it and was a little incredible: "Can it be... Wansong?" He looked down at Chu Lingxi, "Sister Xi, have you fallen in love with Lu Wansong, the Prince of Dingguo?"

Chu Lingxi finally had blood on her pale face and nodded in a cowardly manner.

Chu Junlan held his forehead.

Chu Zhan said, "I know why I can't even do anything about my business. I can't do anything about her, right? Ruohan and I are still very happy with each other, but the relationship between our parents and family is too late to get a certain letter, and we can't even meet each other in daily life. But Xiao Lingxi is still unilaterally happy with the Prince of Dingguo. What should you do if you say this?"

Chu Lingxi blushed and tears fell again: "It's true that I like him, but if he is unintentional to me, I won't bother with a shameless face. I'm not that kind of person. Besides, marriage matters have always been the words of matchmakers. Even if he doesn't like me, as long as there are matchmakers' words, are you worried about not getting married? How many couples in this world like each other before getting married?"

"You girl, don't you understand this?" Chu Junlan sighed, "Since you know that you can't decide the major issues of marriage yourself and can only rely on the orders of your parents, why do you suffer?"

"Even if my parents can only make the decision, I can at least fight. My parents and grandfather love me so much. As long as I speak, they will definitely follow me. But I didn't say it directly, and just tempted my grandfather and parents' attitude indirectly, and they had already refused."

Chu Lingxi covered her mouth and cried again with grievance: "I don't know if I ask more questions, but I can't understand. The Dingguo Duke's Mansion is in a good match with our family. The Dingguo Duke's Prince is young and talented, and he is so good at family and marriage. Why are his parents and grandfather not optimistic about his family?"

Chu Junlan touched Chu Lingxi's head and looked at Chu Zhan: "Brother Zhan, I believe you have figured this out?"

Chu Zhan smiled bitterly: "I understand naturally."

Chu Junlan wiped Chu Lingxi's tears with a handkerchief and said, "Don't cry, sister tell you what's going on, help you find a way. Don't tell Aunt San to see you like this, otherwise you will have to be scolded."

Chu Lingxi nodded, wiped away her tears obediently, and looked at Chu Junlan expectantly.

Chu Junlan said: "Since you know that marriage is the order of your parents and the matchmaker, you should also know that it is the business of two people who like each other, but marriage is the business of two families?"

Chu Lingxi looked at Chu Junlan with her eyes wide open.

"Whether Aunt and Uncle San nodded, it is not only to see whether the Prince of Dingguo is a member of the people, but also to be of equal status, but more importantly, it depends on the relationship between the two families."

"But both of our families are noble families."

Chu Junlan shook his head: "Silly girl, although they are all noble families, our family is different from the Dingguo Duke's Mansion. Dingguo Duke now has heavy troops, and the Crown Prince of Dingguo seems to have accumulated a certain reputation in the army. In the future, the son of the son will definitely not be much worse for his father's business. In our family, the grandfather lives in the farmhouse, and only my father is still in the court, and he is still a civil servant."

Chu Junlan said this, but Chu Lingxi recalled: "You said this, it's true."

Chu Junlan looked at Chu Zhan with laughter and cry, then pinched Chu Lingxi's face.

"You, what do you want me to say to you? Haven't you ever thought about this when you interact with the daughters outside?"

Chu Lingxi was embarrassed. How could she have thought about these things? She was born from a noble family and was the most beloved granddaughter of Duke Mao. Wherever she went, there would only be people holding her and talking, and she was used to it.

Chu Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "Not to mention Sister Xi, I have never thought deeply before why my grandfather and parents were not allowed to have a marriage with Ruohan. I gradually realized it later. Now that I know what my parents are thinking, I don't hate anyone or get angry with anyone, I just feel helpless. I think Ruohan thinks more deeply than me, and she has known this for a long time."

Chu Junlan asked: "Have you seen Ruohan these days?"

Chu Zhan shook his head, his smile became more and more bitter: "It is said that she was detained in the mansion by her mother to learn the rules of embroidery. There were several flower-appreciation banquets, but her mother never took her out."

Chu Junlan sighed when she heard this. After she married Xiao Xu, she had no chance to attend these banquets. Thinking of the past and now, she couldn't help but feel a little sigh.

Chu Lingxi looked at her cousin and cousin, and asked hesitantly: "So, if I tell you about this, I will do it like Brother Zhan. Maybe I will be scolded by my mother, just because his father holds military power and our family no longer has much contact with military affairs?"

Seeing that Chu Lingxi didn't understand, Chu Junlan had to lower his voice and speak bluntly: "Silly sister, now the world is peaceful, and the emperor has long had the intention to weaken his military power. Do you remember the military farming in Huaijing last year?"

Chu Lingxi opened her eyes wide and was stunned. After a long time, she seemed to finally figure it out. She said with a pale face: "So, his family wants to protect the military power, and our family is in line with the emperor's wishes. Because the two families have different choices, they are not from the same group?"

"I finally understand, you silly girl," Chu Zhan bent down and pushed Chu Lingxi's forehead, "You are so comfortable on weekdays that you don't understand anything. When something happens, you Sister Lan needs to tell you through it."

Chu Lingxi pursed her lips, looked at Chu Zhan for a while, and suddenly sobbed: "What should I do? Brother Zhan, are we hopeless? We are not from the same group anymore, and my parents won't be sure!"

Chu Zhan looked at Chu Lingxi who was crying and rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"You cry, I still want to cry! Okay, put away your tears quickly. What's the use of crying?"

"Yes, but I... I'm so unwilling to accept this! Why are we going to be influenced by such a bullshit reason!" Chu Lingxi pounded the bedding while crying.

Chu Junlan said seriously: "Lingxi, because you are the daughter of the Chu family, you have enjoyed the glory of the Chu family and the protection of the Chu family, so you have to bear everything in the Chu family. Not everything in this world can make you happy. Does it work if you encounter setbacks? If you want, try hard to fight for what you can't win, and learn to choose and learn to let go. You must have a bottom line in your heart. Do you don't care about sacrificing the family, sacrificing your grandparents, and sacrificing your parents for what you want?"
