Chapter 249 Execution of Liu Ye
Chapter 249 Execution of Liu Ye
Nanny Li was a little surprised. "So soon?"
"Well, the Marquis' Mansion has been renovated. Plus, my mother is in such poor health now, it's not good for her to live with the Princess. It's time to move back."
"I understand, old servant." Li Ma Ma responded.
After Xu Rui left Zheng's room, he wanted to go back to the Yonglin Marquis's residence, but the guard came to report, "My Lord, Miss Lin knows you're back and is clamoring to see you."
Xu Rui frowned in disgust for a moment. He was really tired of dealing with Lin Rouyu.
But thinking of the military power in Lin Songwen's hands, he finally went to Xiangyu Garden.
When Xu Rui arrived at Xiangyu Garden, Lin Rouyu was indeed making a big fuss.
"Get out of here, everyone. I want to see Brother Rui. Let Brother Rui come to see me."
"I'm here." Xu Rui said.
Seeing Xu Rui, Lin Rouyu instantly burst into tears of grievance and excitedly threw herself into his arms, "Brother Rui, you are finally back."
Xu Rui subconsciously wanted to push Lin Rouyu away, but when he thought of Lin Songwen, he forced himself to hold back.
"Yeah." Xu Rui tried to make his voice gentler.
This one sentence made Lin Rouyu's tears flow uncontrollably.
Lin Rouyu nestled in Xu Rui's arms, crying breathlessly, as if she had suffered a lot of grievances in the Princess's Mansion.
Xu Rui felt annoyed when he heard this, but he didn't want to do anything too extreme, so he simply picked her up and carried her to her room.
Seeing Xu Rui's actions, the guards around him looked at each other with strange expressions.
What does this mean, Lord?
Is he dating this Miss Lin again?
How could the Marquis have such poor taste? Miss Lin is so naughty and makes a fuss all day long. I really don't know what's good about her. She is so much worse than their wife. How could the Marquis fall for her?
Not only did the guards have strange expressions, even Shuye and Liuye were stunned. They seemed to have never expected why Xu Rui suddenly became gentle towards Lin Rouyu and even took the initiative to hug her.
You know, Xu Rui used to dislike Lin Rouyu. Could it be that after Xu Rui went to the north, he suddenly came to his senses and decided to take Lin Rouyu in?
Xu Rui carried Lin Rouyu into the house, and Shuye and Liuye had no choice but to follow him into the house to serve him.
Xu Rui carried Lin Rouyu to the couch and wanted to leave, but Lin Rouyu held him tightly and refused to let go.
Xu Rui felt disgusted, but he couldn't show it, so he could only let Lin Rouyu cry in his arms.
Looking at the crying person in his arms, Xu Rui thought of Jiang Xiyu.
She was always different from others. It seemed that no matter how wronged she was, she would never cry in his arms like Lin Rouyu did.
She rarely even shed tears in front of him.
Sometimes he also hoped that she could vent all her emotions in front of him like Lin Rouyu did. It was better than asking for divorce from him all the time.
Thinking of Jiang Xiyu, Xu Rui looked at Lin Rouyu who was nestled in his arms, and instantly felt a sense of guilt towards Jiang Xiyu, and finally pushed Lin Rouyu away.
Lin Rouyu looked at him pitifully with tears in her eyes.
Xu Rui quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped Lin Rouyu's tears. "You're not feeling well. Stop crying. Be careful not to hurt yourself."
Xu Rui was quite busy tonight. After wiping Zheng's tears, he wiped Lin Rouyu's.
Lin Rouyu, who felt Xu Rui's concern, had no idea. Seeing Xu Rui become gentle to her again, she was very happy in her heart, and even her body felt a lot more relaxed. "Brother Rui, Rouer has something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Xu Rui asked calmly.
"My sister is having an affair with a man in the mansion while you are away."
Xu Rui's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. He pushed Lin Rouyu away from his arms, frowned, and said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Everything I said is true, Brother Rui, please believe me." Seeing that Xu Rui didn't believe her, Lin Rouyu became anxious and immediately pointed at the leaves and said, "The leaves know too. If you don't believe me, ask them."
Shuye lowered his head in panic and knelt beside the bed. "Some time ago, there was a man who played the piano and flute with the lady in the middle of the night."
Somehow, Xu Rui thought of the man as Gulin.
But when did Jiang Xiyu learn to play a musical instrument? Why didn’t he know she could do that before?
When Xu Rui thought about how he had never heard Jiang Xiyu play the piano or the flute, and that Gulin was the first to play the piano and flute with her, he suddenly became jealous and wanted to go crazy.
Seeing Xu Rui's unhappy expression, Shu Ye knew that he believed her words, and quickly added, "That day, everyone in the Princess's Mansion heard their zither and flute playing together. We are just guessing, so please don't blame us, Your Majesty."
Xu Rui glanced at the leaves with a deep gaze. He knew that this girl was always scheming, so he said sternly, "Even if someone played the zither and flute with her, do you know if that person was a man or a woman? Even if it was a man, it was just a piece of music. How can it be considered an affair? How dare you, a servant, make such presumptuous assumptions about the mistress and gossip about her in front of your own master? You deserve to be killed."
Xu Rui suddenly shouted, "Come here, drag this maid away and beat her to death."
Ye Zi was startled, looked up suddenly, and looked at Xu Rui in disbelief.
She didn't expect that he would beat her to death with a stick just because she said a few words.
Two guards came in from outside.
The leaf finally realized that Xu Rui was serious and immediately crawled to his feet and begged for mercy, "My Lord, please don't do that. I won't dare to do that again. Please, my Lord, spare my life."
Seeing this, Liu Ye also knelt down and pleaded for Ye Shu, "Please forgive Ye Shu this time, my Lord. I beg you to forgive me."
It’s not that the relationship between willow leaves and tree leaves is so good.
Because although she was a slave, she also knew the principle of "lips and teeth are cold".
Shuye has always been full of ideas, and Lin Rouyu often goes crazy. Only Shuye can coax Lin Rouyu. If Shuye is gone, she will be the only one left to be tormented by Lin Rouyu in the future.
Seeing Xu Rui was unmoved, Shu Ye went to beg Lin Rouyu again, "Miss, please save me, I don't want to die."
Lin Rouyu looked at the pleading leaves and was actually a little confused.
She didn't know why Brother Rui wanted to punish Shu Ye even though she was clearly reporting that bitch Jiang Xiyu.
Lin Rouyu came back to her senses and immediately pleaded with Xu Rui, "Ye Shu didn't say these things on purpose. Brother Rui, please don't blame her. Forgive her this time."
Lin Rouyu didn't want to care at first, but when she thought about the fact that she only had these two maids around her now, and if they were gone, she would be without help, Lin Rouyu reluctantly pleaded for Shu Ye.
Xu Rui deliberately took her hand and said, "Hasn't this wicked maid deceived you enough? She always stirs up trouble in front of you. Just think about how many things are caused by her. Keeping this maid is a disaster. Sooner or later, you will be harmed by her. I will get rid of her for you early, so that there will be less trouble around you in the future."
He had wanted to get rid of this leaf for a long time.
