Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 108
Chu Ruoying also forgot when she understood Xu Nuo's feelings for her. She just remembered that she was not disgusted at the beginning, but she was not happy either. Thinking about it, if those many things didn't happen afterwards, she might just be with her. Promise to be together, but there is still such a person in her life after all
"Brother, what are you doing here?" After Chu Ruoying came out of the bamboo forest, she saw Xu Nuo's figure from a distance, and walked over quickly.

The strange thing is that Xu Nuo didn't pay attention to her, and still stood there with her back behind his back, not speaking.

Chu Ruoying curled her lips, and stretched out her hand to Xu Nuo's clothes with some dissatisfaction, "Brother, why are you ignoring me?"

If Chu Ruoying had spoken like this in the past, Xu Nuo would have turned around and comforted her with a gentle smile, but today no matter what Chu Ruoying said, Xu Nuo had never turned around, and could not even feel the slightest fluctuation of his emotions.

Chu Ruoying suddenly became annoyed, and she tried to force Xu Nuo to turn around, but Xu Nuo suddenly fell to the ground. Chu Ruoying stared blankly at Xu Nuo who had already fallen on the ground, and suddenly knelt on the ground, The palm that just touched Xu Nuo was actually ice-cold.

"Brother." Chu Ruoying uttered tremblingly, and found blood flowing from Xu Nuo's facial features, which quickly covered Xu Nuo's face.

Suddenly her shoulders sank, Chu Ruoying turned her head in a daze, and saw the expressionless Mu Ziyuan at a glance, Chu Ruoying hurriedly reached out and grabbed his robe, tears couldn't stop falling, "Help me Him, save my brother."

"Why should I save him?" A cold voice came from beside her ears, and Chu Ruoying opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

Mu Ziyuan snorted coldly, walked up to Chu Ruoying's side, looked down at Xu Nuo's body, and stepped on it without hesitation, "Those who covet me will die!"

"You!" Chu Ruoying froze, slowly raised her head to look at him, and uttered a word tremblingly.

"It's me." Mu Ziyuan squatted down and grabbed Chu Ruoying's jaw fiercely, his words were cold and merciless, "I said a long time ago that you can only be mine. Just kill him! This is what will happen to him!"

"No, no, how could you do this!" Chu Ruoying tried desperately to push him away, her face was full of tears, and her jaw was already red and swollen.

Mu Ziyuan ruthlessly pulled her up from the ground, looked at the cliff below him, and kicked Xu Nuo's body down with one foot. Chu Ruoying watched Xu Nuo disappear from sight just like that, with no bones left. Suddenly collapsed, "Ah!"

"Miss! What's wrong with you?" Li Xia looked at the uneasy expression on Chu Ruoying's face, and when she was full of worry, Chu Ruoying suddenly woke up with a cry of alarm. Seeing that Chu Ruoying's eyes were empty, Li Xia panicked even more. Can't help shouting.

"It's okay." Chu Ruoying looked at the familiar light purple gauze curtain in front of her, and finally came to her senses and realized that she was in the boudoir. She looked at Li Xia who was full of worry, and said calmly.

"Miss, are you sick?" Li Xia just got up from the bed, poured a cup of tea and put it on the bed, and asked softly.

"Well, it was just a dream, you go down first." Chu Ruoying half sat up, closed her eyes, and said softly.

Li Xia glanced at Chu Ruoying worriedly, twisted the brocade handkerchief in his hand continuously, bit his lips and said, "Miss, rest for a while, servant girl will prepare some pastries that she likes."

"Go." Chu Ruoying didn't look at her, and her eyes fell on the corner of the bed erratically.

There was a soft door closing sound, and Chu Ruoying completely buried herself in the quilt. Thinking of the dream she had just had, she couldn't help but feel a little headache. After a while, she raised her head and chuckled. It was just a dream. I really thought about it, dreams and reality are the opposite, aren't they?

After Chu Ruoying got up, she had breakfast and had nothing to do, so she went to the study to practice calligraphy and concentrate. While writing, Gu Yu ran in with a smile.

"What happened?" Chu Ruoying raised her head to look at Gu Yu, seeing her expression full of joy, she put down her brush and asked.

"Miss, Prince Jin is here to give the dowry." Gu Yu stepped forward with a smile on his brows.

Chu Ruoying was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that the two of them had not been able to get married when they got engaged, so the betrothal gift was naturally delayed until now, seeing that Gu Yu still looked a little dissatisfied after she finished speaking, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows and asked, "But what happened? "

Gu Yu then said angrily: "It's the Second Miss. The Second Miss was brought back from the Zhuangzi by the general, and just happened to be hired by Prince Jin, so she insisted on refusing to move in the hall."

"Second Miss is back?" Chu Ruoying raised her eyebrows slightly. Chu Xin'er was just a person with nothing but appearance and no means. Zhuangzi's people, Chu Ruoying was really curious how Chu Lie remembered that he had such a daughter, or who mentioned Chu Xin'er again.

"Yes!" Gu Yu repeated.

"Miss, please hurry over there, General." Dong Zhi also walked in from the outside with a happy face at this time, and when she saw Gu Yu, she knew that Chu Ruoying already knew about the appointment, and reminded her.

Chu Ruoying nodded, and Li Xia beside her also stopped grinding ink, and stood quietly behind Chu Ruoying.

"Let's go." Seeing that she was well dressed, Chu Ruoying didn't plan to go back to the house and change again. She raised her head and smoothed out the small wrinkles on her face, and led the three of them towards the front hall.

Because there is no real mistress in the Chu Mansion, Mu Ziyuan came to the Chu Mansion with King Jin and the long list of betrothal gifts made Chu Lie very happy, and the three of them sat in the front hall Among them, the good name is called discussion.

"Ying'er met father, King Jin, and Prince Jin." As soon as Chu Ruoying stepped into the front hall, she saw Chu Lie drinking tea with a sullen face on the main seat, and King Jin and Prince Jin sitting next to him didn't speak. , There was a strange silence in the entire hall.

Chu Ruoying didn't want anyone other than the Gu family and the Chu family to know about the feud between her and Chu Lie's father and daughter. Although she was reluctant to do so many times in her heart, she would eventually call him father in front of everyone.

"Sit down when you come." Chu Lie put down the teacup in his hand, and responded lightly.

Chu Ruoying sat aside as she said, and when she raised her head, she happened to meet Mu Ziyuan's doting eyes, her cheeks blushed slightly, and she looked away.

"Lord Chu, since Ying'er is here, I will start giving the dowry." As soon as King Jin's voice fell, Chu Ruoying understood why the atmosphere in the hall was so strange just now. Give it to Chu Lie.

Chu Ruoying looked at Chu Lie, who had always had an ugly face on the main seat, and couldn't help being a little mocking in her heart. Everyone knew that in addition to the dowry bought by her childhood and the makeup of relatives and friends, part of the dowry was also a part of the betrothal gift from the man. King Jin This move clearly slapped Chu Lie in the face.

In the hall, the butler of King Jin had been reading the betrothal gift, and Chu Ruoying was listening quietly. After the betrothal gift was read, not only Chu Lie was surprised, but Chu Ruoying also did not expect that Mu Ziyuan would offer a betrothal gift of 120. Turning her head to look at Mu Ziyuan, although Chu Ruoying knew that Mu Ziyuan was trying to make herself face, she didn't want to make Chu Lie cheap.

After reading the dowry, naturally there was nothing else to do, Chu Lie left King Jin behind, and the two went to the study to discuss matters, while Mu Ziyuan and Chu Ruoying went to the backyard to hang out in the name of fiancée.

"Where is Chuchu going to take me?" Mu Ziyuan asked softly with a hint of teasing in his smiling eyes.

Chu Ruoying kept walking, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is there anything else in the Chu Mansion that you don't know?"

"Except for Chuchu's courtyard, I don't know about the rest of the place." Mu Ziyuan paused, the smile in his eyes deepened, and he didn't have the decisive and uncertain look in the rumors.

Chu Ruoying turned her head to look at him suspiciously, and said softly, "Are you really the Mu Ziyuan I know?"

Mu Ziyuan's face suddenly sank, as if the rain was about to come.

Chu Ruoying lowered her head slightly so that people could not see her expression, and said sadly: "Suddenly remembered that you always threatened me with the lives of people around me."

Mu Ziyuan panicked immediately, and followed Chu Ruoying at a loss, explaining: "I don't like other people around Chuchu, I hope Chuchu only sees me, I don't think there is anything wrong with me doing that , but Chuchu doesn't like me doing that, so I won't do it."

Chu Ruoying was taken aback, she didn't expect that such a reckless person as Mu Ziyuan would say such words, she turned around softly, and joked, "Then since you know you're wrong, you will have to make a hairpin by yourself every month from now on. Give me."

"Okay." Mu Ziyuan replied without hesitation when he heard the words, and Chu Ruoying shy away from his eyes with such burning eyes, looked ahead and said, "There is a small pavilion in front, let's go and sit down." Bar"

After walking to the small pavilion and sitting down, the maid next to Chu Ruoying brought pastries and tea, and then retreated not far away to wait.

It was already mid-April, and the lotus pond was green and swaying gently with the breeze, which made Chu Ruoying feel much calmer. She raised her hand and poured a cup of tea in front of Mu Ziyuan, then took a sip of the pastry , I didn't give it to Mu Ziyuan because I didn't think it tasted good.

Mu Ziyuan looked at the hairpin in Chu Ruoying's hair, and suddenly asked sinisterly, "Have you put away the hairpin I promised you?"

"En." Chu Ruoying didn't realize Mu Ziyuan's intentions for a while, and after a faint reply, she felt that the air around her seemed to be condensed, and then she came back to her senses, looked at Mu Ziyuan helplessly and said : "He is my brother."

"Hmph, another man!" Brother?From Mu Ziyuan's point of view, the promise was simply not let go. Mu Ziyuan really wanted to kill that so-called senior brother with a sword, but he knew that if he really did that, Chu Ruoying would definitely be angry and maybe ignore him again. Yes, sure enough, brothers and sisters are the most annoying.

Chu Ruoying took a sip of tea lightly to dilute the sweetness of the pastries just now, looked at Mu Ziyuan's gloomy expression and thought for a while before she said: "I know what you are thinking, I grew up with my senior brother, if I don’t have any affection at all, so I’m also a fickle person, so I’m not worthy of your liking. Senior brother just needs time, and it will be fine slowly. If you are unhappy, I will not accept gifts from senior brother in the future. .”
