C311 Surrey (VI) (1/2)
He picked up the jar and continued to drink. Only when he was drunk would he be able to stop the pain from his deep-seated love.
”General Chen, what should we do?”
A trace of struggle flashed across Chen Lie's eyes, and he finally said: ”How is a man without a woman, whoever becomes a great man should not bother with small details, I am here to meddle in small details.”
He still had one more thing to say, that Yang Zixuan was also in the same camp, so he had to dissuade his lord.
Su Ruirui was so immersed in his memories that he did not even hear the conversation between the two.
The study room was filled with the aroma of alcohol, and what was obstructing the steps of the Eunuch Fan and Chen Lie was the pain in Su Ruirui's heart.
It was too thick to let go, and it couldn't be tied up!
”Mistress, the Dark Guard just sent a message. This matter, is related to …” Eunuch Fan frowned. He didn't want to say it, but he had no choice but to report it to him.
Su Ruirui opened his drunk eyes, the pain in his eyes made anyone who saw him sad.
Eunuch Fan opened his mouth, but no matter what, he could not say what else he wanted to say.
Su Ruirui reached out his hand to him, and the Eunuch Fan gave him the slip of paper.
”Damn woman.”
He lowered his head to glance at it, and the paper in his hand was almost crushed by him.
”Hmph, I underestimated her.”
So it turned out that the reason why Yang Zixuan was able to successfully marry her was because the Princess Xiangyang was secretly adding fuel to the fire.
This caused Su Ruirui to feel as if he had fallen into an ice kiln.
”Sang'er! Sang'er!”
Su Ruirui muttered to himself. It was as if his heart had been taken away by someone else.
”Master!” Eunuch Fan quickly stepped forward and took out a clean handkerchief, wanting to help him bandage his other hand.
”Your hand is injured, this servant will call for the Golden Sore Medicine.”
Just then, in his rage, Su Ruirui had shattered the wine jar in his hand with one hand, the broken pieces of the porcelain sticking into his palm, and fresh blood flowed down from the center of his palm.
Su Ruirui's hand was tightly clenched into a fist. Eunuch Fan used all his strength but still could not separate his fingers one by one.
”Master, if you are unhappy, please beat and scold this servant. Just don't hurt your own body.”
”If master wishes to see wood girl, this servant will immediately send someone to capture her.”
”No need!” Su Ruirui spread open the center of his right hand. As expected, the porcelain plate had stabbed into his palm.
”Father only taught me the way of governance. The matriarch only taught me how to live on, but no one taught me …”
No one had taught him that there was another love in this world called — love!
”Master!” The Eunuch Fan trembled in fear, and quickly and carefully looked around.
Chen Lie sighed lightly, and said: ”Master, great things are important, how can we let this matter get out of hand? Master will not think for himself, but for the wood girl, think for the soldiers who follow Master.”
”Chen Lie, did you ever want to meet a woman?”
Su Ruirui's words were pointed straight at Jianxin, and he said, ”Your wife and you have grown up together. You and her have a deep bond, but have you really fallen in love with her?”
Chen Lie's expression changed, and replied respectfully afterwards: ”I dare not disobey mother and father's orders!”
”You don't know, you don't understand.” Su Ruirui shook his dizzy head. He felt pain in his chest, as though a sharp knife was stabbing it back and forth. The pain made him not dare to close his eyes, and he could only rely on alcohol to anesthetize himself.
”I want to go find her. She wants the position of wangfei. I'll just give it to her to stabilize the line, but she's taking an inch at a time?” Ying De, Chen Lie, why don't you two discuss the matter. Who in the world made a mistake? How can my Xiao Sangsang accept Yang Zixuan's shameless proposal? Why isn't she willing to wait for me? ”
The drunk Su Ruirui seemed to have become a completely different person.
Eunuch Fan was shaken senseless by his actions, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: ”Master, right now, we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. Actually, it is not a good thing for the wood girl to be engaged to Young Master Yang, if you insist, I'm afraid it will harm her.”
His words were like a heavy hammer that fiercely smashed onto Su Ruirui's head.
”I killed her! Burp! How could I possibly harm her!”
He grabbed Eunuch Fan's collar forcefully, the smell of alcohol spraying all over his face.
Su Ruirui felt too bitter in his heart. Why would he harm her, how could he bear to do so, it was too late even if he felt pain in her hands. However, she couldn't wait, and he couldn't wait either …
”Mistress, Eunuch Fan is right. wood girl is more suitable to marry into the house of the Marquis.” Chen Lie said straightforwardly without fear of death.
Su Ruirui stood there and looked out of the window with his empty eyes. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the dried up leaves were falling down from the branches, causing people to feel pain and sorrow!
It was as if he was mourning for Su Ruirui's first love, or perhaps it was the only time in his life that he had been moved.
”I know who you're talking about. I underestimated her or the power behind her.”
Eunuch Fan and Chen Lie looked at each other, and in the end, Eunuch Fan still wore a bitter face as he stepped forward and said, ”Master, not only is Royal Concubine fine, even Imperial Concubine and Master's ancestors cannot tolerate her.”
Su Ruirui's biological mother, the current Concubine, would never let a girl like Mu Rousang, who had no background, ruin his only son's future prospects.
All obstacles must be hanged in her eyes.
Absolute, merciless!
How much of the truth could the person sitting on it have?
The royal family has been merciful since ancient times!
From then on, Su Ruirui was like a walking corpse. After Mu Rousang's arranged marriage, his actions became more ruthless.
”Master, Prince will come later. He must be here to keep Master company.” Ning Xiang's joyous voice came from outside.
When Princess Xiangyang heard this, she immediately ordered her subordinates, ”Quick, quick, bring me the new gown with the red and gold threads for the Void Butterfly love flowers. I want to dress up properly.”
Ning Xiang's smile slightly froze, and she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.
However, seeing the Owner's happy look, she did not dare say it out loud, as she was afraid that she would ruin her master's mood.
She knew that even though Owner was dressed like that little girl, she still could not replace that little girl's position in her master's heart.
How could the Princess Xiangyang not know that she was just lying to herself?
On one hand, she would often ask about news regarding the manor for her father. On the other hand, she also wished that Su Ruirui could turn around and take a look at her.
She looked over the wall and looked towards Su Ruirui's study. Recalling the rows and rows of green mulberry trees, she wished that she could eat their flesh and bones.
”Ning Xiang, based on the date, the Eunuch Lu should have arrived in Shu Province by now.”
”According to this eunuch's trip, he should have arrived in Sichuan a few days ago.” In fact, Ning Xiang disapproved of Owner's decision. That young lady was brought into the palace, and in that gloomy place, she would probably not live past a year, just like her own sister before she entered the palace. In just two or three months, she had already died.
How old was her sister then? He's not even seven years old.
The lives of the servants were like the grass by the road, anyone could step on them.
”Mistress, is this really good?” Ning Xiang couldn't help but ask her in the end.
