Chapter 258 Xu Rong Returns Home
But I didn't expect what Jiang Xiyu meant.
Xu Rui picked up another piece of braised pork for Jiang Xiyu and said with a smile, "Madam is really thoughtful for me."
Jiang Xiyu felt like vomiting and threw the meat aside.
She was not that kind-hearted. She just wanted Xu Rui to agree to a divorce with her as soon as possible since he had those women.
Gulin, who was standing opposite, looked at them whispering to each other in love, and stared at Xu Rui fiercely with the wine glass in his hand as if he wanted to crush it.
Xu Rui felt Gulin's gaze, looked up, gave him a provocative smile, picked up another dish for Jiang Xiyu, and said gently, "You have worked hard to take care of the mansion during this period. Eat more."
Gulin's gaze was so intense that Jiang Xiyu could feel it. She looked up and saw the anger in his eyes. For some reason, Jiang Xiyu didn't want to be misunderstood. She pushed the meat aside and said, "I'm not hungry."
Xu Rui clenched the chopsticks in his hand a little tighter, his face slightly gloomy.
Seeing this, Gulin's mouth corners suddenly curled up slightly.
Xu Rui didn't pay much attention to the following performance of Shengping Yuele, and kept drinking.
When the show finally ended, after Jiang Xiyu and Xu Rui left, Gulin also stood up and walked out.
But after taking a few steps, he was stopped by Gu Yunling.
Gulin frowned and glanced at Gu Yunling unhappily.
Seeing that he still had the nerve to be unhappy, Gu Yunling immediately flew into a rage. She pulled him aside and lectured him in a low voice, "Are you crazy? You're afraid that others won't know that you have feelings for her. Now that her husband knows about it, you're really not afraid of hurting her."
Gu Yunling had seen the entire scene, so she stopped him after it was over.
Gulin curled his lips and said, "He won't make things difficult for her."
"How do you know he won't? Even if he won't, what about His Majesty?" Gu Yunling leaned close to him and whispered.
Gulin was stunned. He really hadn't thought about it.
Gu Yunling said again, "Think about it. If His Majesty knew that you were interested in Xiao Xi, he would not let you go so easily after finally finding evidence against you. This would not only harm her, but also yourself."
Gu Yunling's words instantly made Gulin break out in a cold sweat.
After a few seconds, he spoke, "I will avoid suspicion in the future."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Gu Yunling felt relieved to see that he had listened.
Both of them were people she cared about, and she didn't want to put them in danger.
On the carriage.
Xu Rui and Jiang Xiyu looked at each other in silence the entire way. When they arrived at the gate of Yonglin Marquis's mansion and got off the carriage, Xu Rui suddenly spoke, "I won't touch those women after they enter the mansion."
"Whatever." Jiang Xiyu said this coldly, then turned around and walked towards the mansion.
Xu Rui clenched his fists and stared at Jiang Xiyu's back in confusion.
When did she change? She is no longer the woman whose eyes are only on him.
If it was because of Lin Rouyu, he had already told her that he would send Lin Rouyu away tomorrow.
If it was because of her one million dowry, he had already returned the money to her. If he succeeded in his business in the future, he would give her as much money as she wanted. If it was because of her mother and Xu Rong, now that Xu Rong was getting married, he would also give her mother away.
He has done this much, why does Jiang Xiyu still want to leave him?
"My Lord." Deji's voice interrupted his thoughts.
Xu Rui collected his expression and glanced behind him. "Put these things in order, send half to Madam, and send the other half to the Princess's residence for the old lady to keep."
"Yes." Deji responded immediately.
After Jiang Xiyu returned to the yard, Deji delivered the things shortly afterwards. Jiang Xiyu was a little surprised, but accepted them without hesitation.
If they cannot get a divorce, these things can be regarded as compensation for Xu Rui's mental damage.
Zheng was very excited after receiving the rewards.
But besides being excited, he also hoped to see Xu Rong before going to Linzhou, so he asked the nanny to invite Xu Rong back.
Xu Rong agreed to go back the next day. Zheng was so happy to hear that that she couldn't stop smiling.
At noon the next day, Xu Rong really came to the Princess's Mansion.
Zheng kept holding her hand and couldn't utter a word.
Xu Rong didn't expect Zheng's illness to be so serious. She asked the nanny standing beside her, "How could mother become like this?"
"The old lady had a stroke." Nanny Li came forward with a handkerchief and answered while wiping Zheng's tears and nose.
"How could she have had a stroke? What did the imperial physician say?" Xu Rong was shocked. She had originally agreed to visit Zheng because she wanted Zheng to ask Xu Rui to help her, but she didn't expect that Zheng would be so ill now. In the future, her relationship with Xu Rui would have to rely on Zheng to maintain it.
"The imperial physician said that the old lady will have to lie down from now on. Her hands and feet will be inconvenient, and she will have difficulty speaking. However, her life is not in danger for the time being." Nanny Li briefly described Zheng's condition.
Xu Rong heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Zheng was not in danger of life.
It’s good that she is not dead. As long as her mother is not dead, she will still be Xu Rui’s sister.
Xu Rong took Zheng's hand with a distressed look on her face and asked with concern, "Mother, who hurt you like this? It was that Jiang Xiyu."
When this matter was mentioned, Zheng nodded with tears in her eyes, "It was... Jiang... who harmed me..."
Zheng spoke intermittently and wanted to say more, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Xu Rong stood up excitedly, her face full of anger, "It's that bitch again, I'm going to go find her and settle the score."
"Who are you going to settle the score with?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Rui's voice came from the door.
"My Lord." Seeing Xu Rui enter the room, Nanny Li quickly stood up and saluted.
When Xu Rong saw Xu Rui come in, her face looked a little unnatural. However, when she thought about how Zheng had been harmed by Jiang Xiyu, she immediately became righteous and said, "Where is Jiang Xiyu now? She harmed my mother like this. I want to ask her, as a daughter-in-law, why is she so vicious and harmed my mother like this?"
Xu Rui sat on a chair nearby and said calmly, "Do you really want to stand up for your mother, or do you simply want to cause trouble for her?" Upon hearing this, Xu Rong immediately became unhappy. "Xu Rui, Jiang Xiyu has harmed your mother to this point, and you're still defending her? Why don't you punish her?"
"Who said she was the one who killed my mother?" Xu Rui looked at Zheng with an expressionless face.
"My mother said so." Xu Rong said with a stern face.
Zheng was very excited and kept talking nonsense, but no one could understand her.
Xu Rong said anxiously, "Mother, tell me what happened. I will seek justice for you."
Zheng's face was filled with pain, and she blurted out a few words excitedly, "Don't... ask..."
Even if he made a thousand mistakes, he was no longer with us, and she didn't want to affect his image in the children's hearts.
Zheng's answer aroused Xu Rong's curiosity even more.
