C69 (1/2)
She had a lot of things to say, since he didn't want to say them, she might as well do it as an audience. She picked up her tea cup, lowered her head and took a sip of water.
”When I was young, mother didn't tell me to drink tea early. I still don't like this much, so all I have prepared here is warm water. However, this water is mountain spring water.”
”Today, I sent someone to pick up Miss Gao from the State Duke's estate. I saw this from her and remembered that you also had one. I even gave it to you before. Of course, so many years have passed, perhaps you've broken down or thrown it somewhere …”
Xue Buyun's clenched fist was trembling slightly from anger. It was not wrong to say that she was blind!
Ru Yi smiled slightly. If she couldn't coax him, she would have to anger him. Now that he didn't leave on the spot, she felt that he had some perseverance.
She casually took a tube from the side and handed it to him, smiling as she said, ”Perhaps you don't remember, but I feel that it's still exactly the same as the one I gave you before …”
Xue Xianyun couldn't help but glance at it. He reached out his hand to touch it, then quickly threw it onto the table and coldly said, ”It's not the same, it's not mine.” However, he did not lower his head and instead looked at Ru Yi with glowing eyes.
Ru Yi still had a mischievous smile on her face, as if she didn't expect him to look at her. Her face gradually turned a little redder, her originally snow-white skin became a little more elegant, and there seemed to be a little more charm in her eyes.
Xue Yuyun recognized the fake one, which made Ru Yi feel even more embarrassed. The one in her hand was a little hot, and it made her eyes a little sore.
There were a dozen or so lights in the hall, but Ru Yi only pointed at one spot. The candles in the gloomy hall flickered, looking outside. Once again, Ru Yi opened her mouth and spoke with a sense of calm.
Xue Xianyun's face was as white as jade under the lantern light, but it was still as cold as ice, ”I only picked her up from the horse and threw her to the side, I didn't …”
Ru Yi immediately knew that he had misunderstood and interrupted him.
”I know I know, I think she probably doesn't know who you are, but she's holding something of yours, and fortunately, she didn't say it out now, so I thought of a way to steal a new pillar, and sent someone to make it look exactly the same. I wanted you to see if you could tell the difference, but who knew that you could tell right away.”
Xue Chaoyun couldn't help but glance at her from the corner of his eyes. Her breathing was a little hurried, and she was no longer as calm as before.
Ru Yi really didn't want him to misunderstand. She had only called him over to ask for directions. After all, her mother still had to rely on Xue Ning Yun for help.
She stared at him with a sincere expression, which made him feel extremely happy.
”I accompanied my aunt home a few days ago. Her house was very good, and she even cooked me some rice, fried some leek and egg pancakes, and made me some bean curd soup. My uncle went to the street to buy some side dishes and some soy sauce.
Ru Yi's eyes suddenly became sore. She closed her mouth, but was unable to hold back her tears. With a single breath, she blocked her chest. She stood up and turned around. ”Don't say anymore! …” I didn't eat at night, so when I heard you say these things, I'm really hungry! ”
Her voice suddenly changed, and Xue Qianyun felt a pang in his heart, and blurted out, ”What the hell is going on with you? How did you become a princess? ”
Ru Yi didn't know how to reply.
The grudges of the previous generation shouldn't be held by a junior like her.
Royal father, mother and father, everyone had their own difficulties. It was the same for them, no one had ever let her down before, she was the one instead, because her existence was a form of harm.
Du Weizhao's wish was to stay in the countryside for the rest of his life. He wanted to be a simple village woman, but fate had made her the imperial concubine.
There was a hint of childishness on her delicate face, but she was the same age as him, yet she forced herself to wear layers and layers of masks.
She was a slightly rogue daughter in front of her father, a staunch king of Yan Kingdom in front of the ministers, and a gentle and calm princess in front of the noble ladies.
The mask was worn so many times that even she wasn't sure which one was herself.
The bell of the Royal Monastery rang far away as it floated leisurely over. Ru Yi immediately replied, ”I can't explain these things clearly at the moment, so you just have to keep it a secret for me. When the time is ripe, I will tell you everything.”
Pausing, she softly asked, ”Mother knows that I'm still alive, right?”
Without waiting for her reply, she lowered her head and continued. ”That day, the Imperial Tutor suddenly told me that Mother couldn't continue on anymore. I was scared and believed it …”
”If that wasn't the case, you wouldn't have seen your aunt, would you?” His hands were tightly clenched, his veins were popping out, and even his body was trembling slightly.
Ru Yi's heart felt as though it had been struck by a heavy hammer. She didn't retort and instead turned her back to him, giving her the courage to speak out the thoughts in her heart.
”Yes, I cannot see her. I hope that she can live well. I hope that even without Du Weizhao, the Du Family will still be harmonious and blissful …” ”I hope everyone will be fine …”
