Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1106: In life, I am his man; in death, I am his accomplice

"Now, do you regret it?"

No matter how heavy Xiao Yuansui's tone was when he said this, Shang Ruyi still found it harsh when he heard it at this time, as every word seemed to contain full of sarcasm.

She raised her black and white eyes, the only ones that could express her emotions at the moment, and looked at Xiao Yuansui. Her words seemed provocative, but his eyes were also filled with solemnity and anger. After a moment of silence, Shang Ruyi said, "I don't regret it, because I always do things for the sake of the matter, not the person."

"That--"

“But a little angry.”

"Oh? What are you angry about?"

"She's so angry that she's confused."

"..."

"It's not my fault. She shouldn't have come to me for revenge."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuansui couldn't help laughing. He slowly walked in front of Shang Ruyi. Although Wo Xue tried his best to stand between the two of them, his tall body was like a mountain pressing down on their heads. Even if he really tried to block them, he couldn't stop anything.

Instead, Shang Ruyi gently pulled her sleeve, signaling her not to do so. Only then did Wo Xue retreat aside angrily.

Xiao Yuansui also stood in front of her and looked down at her: "So, you think she should come to me?"

"Isn't it?"

"..."

"You pushed her into a desperate situation, so she'll take revenge."

Hearing the word "dead end", Xiao Yuansui's eyes suddenly flickered, and Shang Ruyi stared at him without blinking, because only his eyes were exposed on his face, and that gaze seemed particularly scorching.

She said, "But she found the wrong person."

"..."

Xiao Yuansui let out a long sigh, as if he had nothing to say. After a while, he smiled calmly and said, "So, if you don't blame her, you don't have to go to her to seek justice."

Shang Ruyi raised his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly, and lightly touched his cheek through the bandage.

Xiao Yuansui looked at the place she touched and couldn't help but frowned - he didn't know how badly she was injured, but if the injury was in that place and left a scar, it would be the same as disfigurement. If it were an ordinary woman, she would be in great pain, not to mention that she was so beautiful and was a princess, so it would have a great impact on her future.

Shang Ruyi looked at him: "It's not that I don't blame her, but I will seek justice myself."

"..."

"My feud with her is between her and me, please don't interfere. If you interfere, it will only make her crazier."

"..."

"How can I seek justice from a madman?"

Hearing the word "madman", Xiao Yuansui frowned again.

Although he no longer cared about Lu Xiao's life or death, and even if Shang Ruyi was furious because of his injury and asked him to punish Lu Xiao, it would be fine. But no matter whether she was alive or dead, the Lu Xiao in his heart seemed to always be the same as before she left, the gentle and beautiful woman who attracted all men and made them crazy.

It was a little hard for him to imagine her becoming a madman.

A complicated feeling suddenly surged in his heart. But before Xiao Yuansui could sort out his thoughts, Shang Ruyi's low voice rang in his ears again: "So, I don't want her to die now."

"..."

Xiao Yuansui looked up at her and nodded.

He had come to visit her and wanted to talk to her, but his mind was full of thoughts at the moment and he could not stay any longer. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he looked down and saw the girl named Wo Xue, who had been standing on the other side and staring at him vigilantly, holding something in her hand. There was some needlework and some sewn things on the small stool next to her.

Looking closely, they were several palm-sized pieces of thick cotton cloth with a rope sewn on each side, like little ears.

He asked, "What is this?"

Wo Xue glanced at him and said nothing. Shang Ruyi said calmly, "I have a wound on my face. I can't just go out and see people like this. I use this thing to cover my face."

"Masked?"

Xiao Yuansui was a little surprised. Most ordinary people who covered their faces wore a veil or tied a veil behind their heads. This was the first time he saw something like this, so he asked, "How do you use it?"

Shang Ruyi winked at Wo Xue, and she silently put down the needlework in her hand, picked up one of them and covered her face with it, and hung the ropes on both sides behind her ears. It was the first time Xiao Yuansui saw something like this, and it was indeed more convenient than a veil and a hat, and it was not easy to fall off no matter how you moved. He sighed, "This is a good thing, you are really skillful."

Shang Ruyi said calmly: "That's too much praise. This is the crown prince of the Great Sheng Dynasty - it should be the crown princess who made it, I am just copying her."

"Oh?"

Xiao Yuansui raised his eyebrows slightly.

In the past two years, he had heard some things about the crown prince of the Great Sheng Dynasty, that is, Yuwen Ye's elder brother. Yuwen Qian was outstanding among their group of children from aristocratic families, and even somewhat eccentric. After all, there were only a few people in the world who came from such a background and traveled around the world to become a monk. Unexpectedly, he returned to Yuwen Yuan and got married so soon.

It seems that the magic of power is much greater than that of Buddhism.

It's not that he is uninterested in this person, but he can't think too much about him at this moment, so he just said a few perfunctory words and turned and walked out.

Outside, the wind and rain have not stopped.

Although the rain was much lighter than before, perhaps because the rain was too cold and the wind was too chilly, as soon as Xiao Yuansui walked out of the tent, a gust of wind blew towards him, as if it had blown away most of the heat from his body. He inexplicably felt his hands and feet become cold, as if the blood in his body was about to coagulate.

He walked forward silently.

Because of the dark clouds and many of the surrounding bonfires were extinguished, the light was very dim, and in some places it was as dark as dusk. However, he was the one who ordered the construction of this military camp, and he knew the location better than anyone else, so he could move around freely inside even in the absence of any light.

But after walking for a while, he suddenly stopped.

In front of me was a somewhat unfamiliar tent.

There was no light inside, and it was as quiet as a lifeless stone, but Xiao Yuansui inexplicably caught a hint of familiarity from the cold air and from the lifeless tent.

This is the tent where Lvxiao lives.

Recalling what Shang Ruyi had just said that his intervention would only make Lu Xiao more crazy, this sentence made him feel inexplicably heavy in his heart - he obviously didn't care about her life or death, and he even seemed to hope that she would.

Because of him, because of his two lines of poetry, she will always be hers, even if her body is dirty, death can wash everything away, leaving her with a clean soul.

She was his in life and his accomplice in death.

But why did he feel sad when he heard that she was crazy?
