Chapter 173: He Didn’t Even Listen to My Chapter
Jiang Xiyu seemed to agree with Lin Rouyu's words. She smiled and nodded, then asked seriously, "Yeah, I don't understand either. Whether I cheated on her or not, what does this have to do with Miss Lin?"
Lin Rouyu, “…”
Jiang Xiyu's words completely left Lin Rouyu speechless.
Seeing Jiang Xiyu being so sharp-tongued and trying to smooth things over, how could Zheng let her go?
"Jiang Xiyu, you are shameless, and now you have the nerve to blame others. How has our Rui'er ever wronged you? He treats you so well, and you dare to cheat on him. You deserve to die."
Zheng became more and more angry as she spoke, and she ordered the maids, "What are you still standing there for? Arrest the man and throw him in the pig cage."
She now doesn't want to see Jiang Xiyu again.
Jiang Xiyu not only harmed Rong'er, but also came to harm her again. Now she is committing the shameful act of cheating on Xu Rui.
Before, Xu Rui was blinded by her and protected her everywhere. This time, she must kill her before he comes back, otherwise when he comes back, this woman will not cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to commit suicide in front of him, and Xu Rui will be softened by her and lose his mind.
At Zheng's command, the old women came forward again.
Jiang Xiyu stared at the old women with a cold look in her eyes.
Deji stepped forward again to stop the man.
Deji and his guards blocked the way in front, and the old women had no way of capturing Jiang Xiyu.
Seeing that Deji was still protecting Jiang Xiyu even after such a desperate situation, Zheng was furious again, "Deji, do you want to rebel? Get out of here."
Deji clutched his sword and stared motionlessly at the women who were about to step forward. "The Marquis has ordered that we, the subordinates, must protect the Madam. I dare not disobey the Marquis's order."
Before Xu Rui left, he repeatedly told him to protect Jiang Xiyu, so no matter what, he had to protect Jiang Xiyu.
Not to mention that we haven't figured out what happened yet, even if Jiang Xiyu really did something wrong, we have to wait for Xu Rui to come back and deal with it, instead of letting Zheng deal with Jiang Xiyu privately.
Upon hearing this, Zheng was furious again. "Now she has betrayed your Lord. Even for Rui'er's sake, you should not protect her anymore. Instead, you should arrest her and throw her into the pig cage. Only then will you be worthy of Rui'er's cultivation of you."
Deji lowered his head and said silently, "Madam, before the Marquis left the capital, he repeatedly instructed me to protect the lady. So now, without the Marquis's order, even if you are the Marquis' mother, I cannot obey your order."
Jiang Xiyu looked at Deji with a little surprise.
Due to Deji's loyalty, she believed what Deji said, but she was also a little surprised that Xu Rui suddenly treated her so well.
Zheng was so angry at his words that her face turned blue. She wanted to go up and slap him a few times to vent her anger, but she still had her rationality. She knew that Deji was Xu Rui's man. If she forced her to do something, even though she was Xu Rui's mother, he would not give her face and would punish her.
Lin Rouyu was very jealous of Xu Rui's kindness to Jiang Xiyu, and said sourly, "I didn't expect that sister is so charming. Even when brother Rui is away on the battlefield, he still cares about you so much. Now even his personal guards only listen to you."
Jiang Xiyu's face immediately turned cold. Lin Rouyu hinted that she had a close relationship with Deji. Just as she was about to speak, Deji spoke first, "Miss Lin, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. Everything I do is in obedience to the Marquis."
Zheng stared at Jiang Xiyu and Deji suspiciously, suspecting there was some illicit relationship between them. She ordered the other guards, "I'm under the orders of the old lady of the Yonglin Marquisate. Arrest Jiang Xiyu."
When the guards heard this, they looked at each other with hesitation on their faces, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should listen or not.
"Hurry up! You don't even listen to me." Zheng shouted loudly.
Xu Rui was not in the mansion, and the Zheng family was the largest in the Yonglin Marquisate. After the guards weighed the pros and cons, someone stepped forward and walked towards Jiang Xiyu. The Zheng family was very satisfied.
Just as their hands were about to touch Jiang Xiyu, a familiar voice came from a house not far away, "How dare you, my wife! I see who dares to touch me."
Everyone looked in surprise and found that Xu Rui, who was supposed to be on his way to the border, appeared at the door.
They were all surprised to see Xu Rui walking towards them step by step.
Deji felt relieved when he saw that the person who came out was Xu Rui.
Unexpectedly, it was Xu Rui who came back secretly. Fortunately, it was Xu Rui, otherwise, Jiang Xiyu would not be able to explain what happened today.
Thinking about how calm Jiang Xiyu was just now, it turned out that she had known for a long time that the person in the room was Xu Rui.
In fact, Jiang Xiyu was also a little surprised.
Originally, she didn't know which man was Xu Rui, but when she saw the figure in the window just now, she always felt familiar. However, in order not to be noticed by them, she could only pretend to be calm.
When Lin Rouyu saw that it was Xu Rui, her face was full of disbelief.
Zheng thought she had seen it wrong, that her eyes were blurry. She blinked several times, and after making sure that she was not seeing things, her face was full of disappointment.
"Rui'er, why are you back?"
As she spoke, she struggled, trying to get the maid beside her to help her down.
Seeing this, Lin Rouyu approached her politely and grabbed her wrist, whispering, "Madam, Brother Rui is leading his troops to war. Shouldn't he be on his way to the northern border now? Why is he in Kyoto now? Could this person be fake?"
After Lin Rouyu said this, Zheng immediately thought of this possibility and stared at Xu Rui with vigilance and suspicion.
"Rou'er heard that there's a technique in the Western Regions called the Art of Disguise, which allows one to change one's appearance. Perhaps this person is worried that the affair between her and her sister will be exposed, so she temporarily disguised herself as Brother Rui to get away with it."
After Lin Rouyu said this, not only did Zheng become wary of Xu Rui, but even the guards around him tightened their weapons and became wary of Xu Rui.
Deji looked at Xu Rui, who looked very familiar to him, and did not think that he was in disguise, so he did not move at all. Instead, he stepped forward and stood behind Xu Rui.
Xu Rui glanced at him, looking at Lin Rouyu coldly, his voice like breaking ice, "Miss Lin, you know so much. I have been fighting outside for many years and have never heard of the Western Region's disguise technique. I didn't expect that you, a woman living in a deep house, know more than me."
Xu Rui started to speak, and everyone recognized his voice.
In fact, when he spoke just now, it was too sudden and no one listened carefully. Now that they heard the voice in real life, they immediately recognized that it was really Xu Rui and not an imposter.
