After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 167 It’s Me, I’m Back

Jiang Xiyu was too lazy to deal with Lin Rouyu anymore and ordered her to leave. "My illness is not serious and no thieves have been in my room. I can't afford such concern from Miss Lin. Please go back."

Jiang Xiyu's blunt words once again made Lin Rouyu very angry. She flicked her sleeves and walked away angrily.

Seeing this, Liu Ye hurriedly followed.

Ye Zi glared at Qing'er fiercely before turning and leaving.

Qing'er was so angry that she punched the air several times at Ye Zi's back.

This damn leaf should have slapped her a few more times just now.

Seeing Qing'er like this, Wei Mama smiled for the first time. "Don't worry, a maid who puts on such a high attitude will suffer sooner or later."

It was also because the lady was kind-hearted, otherwise how could such a maid stay in the Marquis' Mansion? Even if she was Lin Rouyu's maid, she would have been sent back to the Lin family long ago.

Qing'er smiled and said, "Mammy is right. This uneducated person should be taught a lesson, otherwise she will lose her sense of self."

Xiangyu Garden.

As soon as Lin Rouyu returned to the room, she went to the cage and took out a whip, and lashed at Leaf fiercely. "You're so arrogant, aren't you? Are you planning to climb over my head?"

"Ah." Ye Zi was beaten so hard that she broke out in a cold sweat. She immediately defended herself, "I didn't do that. Miss, you can't let Jiang Xiyu's words sow discord between you. She is deliberately destroying the relationship between you and me."

"You are destroying the relationship between you and me. When have you, a slave, ever been worthy of being compared with me?" Shuye's words made Lin Rouyu hit him harder.

"Ah." The leaves screamed in pain, but did not dare to hide.

Because she knew that if she dodged, Lin Rouyu would only beat her harder.

Liu Ye watched Ye Zi being beaten, but she didn't feel much sympathy for Ye Zi. She just thought Lin Rouyu was vicious.

She had stood up for Lin Rouyu before, but in the end she was almost beaten to death.

She also felt that Jiang Xiyu was right. Shu Ye was just too arrogant. She thought she understood Lin Rouyu, and always tried to be clever in front of her. However, she forgot that she was just a servant. If a servant could not put herself in the right position, she would suffer endless hardships.

Willow Leaf stood by with her brows lowered, pretending to be invisible. It was not until Lin Rouyu was tired of smoking that Willow Leaf stepped forward and said cautiously, "Miss, you have just recovered from your illness. Don't let yourself get tired. Take a rest first."

Seeing that Lin Rouyu did not resist, Liu Ye helped Lin Rouyu to the side to rest, and Ye Zi was able to catch her breath.

She stared at the ground with resentment.

Jiang Xiyu, don't let her find an opportunity, otherwise she will never let her go.

**

Jingyu Garden.

"Ah."

Hearing Jiang Xiyu sneeze, Qing'er hurried forward to close the window, then went over to take the medical book from her hand, "Madam, it's getting late, and you've just gotten a little better. You should go and rest."

Her current health condition is not suitable for staying up late and overwork.

She was feeling sleepy at first, but after Lin Rouyu's disturbance, Jiang Xiyu lost her sleepiness and had been lying in bed reading medical books until now. Now that Qing'er said this, she was really a little tired.

Jiang Xiyu lay down obediently. Qing'er blew out the light and waited in the outer room.

Perhaps because he had experienced too many things in the past few days, Jiang Xiyu had a nightmare as soon as he fell asleep.

She once again dreamed of assassinating the man in the silver mask, and his eyes filled with despair. At the same time, she felt a pain in her heart, as if she had been stabbed in the heart as well.

In a blink of an eye, she was covered in blood, and she couldn't tell whether it was his or her own. She walked frantically in the pool of blood, leaving a trail of bloody footprints.

Suddenly she saw Xu Rui again. He had been chasing her, wanting her blood. She was terrified and ran desperately. She didn't know how long she had been running before she ran out of strength and fell to the ground. She was immediately held down by the person behind her. She turned around in panic, but the face she saw was not Xu Rui, but Gulin's...

Just as Jiang Xiyu fell into a nightmare, a dark shadow quietly entered the main house.

The black shadow saw Qing'er lying on the table in the outer room and pressed her acupoints.

The black shadow walked into the inner room, lifted the gauze curtain, and saw the person on the bed sleeping soundly, but his brows were furrowed, his sleeping face was full of panic, and he seemed to be mumbling something.

The shadow subconsciously moved closer, only to hear her shouting, "Xu Rui..."

There was a hint of sobbing in her panicked murmur, as if she was truly immersed in great pain and panic.

Knowing she was having a nightmare, he patted her face lovingly, "I'm here, Xi'er, wake up."

Xu Rui called her several times, but Jiang Xiyu did not wake up from the nightmare. Instead, she seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper. "Don't... don't chase me..."

Xu Rui was a little worried. He sat down beside the bed and held Jiang Xiyu in his arms. "Xi'er, don't be afraid. I'm here. Wake up."

Xu Rui was afraid that Jiang Xiyu would be trapped in the nightmare, so he pinched her tiger's mouth and tried to wake her up.

"It hurts, it hurts so much..." Jiang Xiyu didn't know if she felt the pain in her dream or in her palm. She frowned slightly and sobbed unconsciously.

Xu Rui heard her cry of pain and immediately withdrew his hand. He then rubbed her hand with concern, "Does it hurt a lot? Sorry, I just wanted to wake you up."

Perhaps it was Xu Rui's voice in her ear that finally woke Jiang Xiyu up. Without even seeing who was holding her, she pushed the person away and shrank to the corner of the bed.

Seeing her such a big reaction, Xu Rui felt very distressed.

She kept cursing Gulin in her heart, wondering what he had done to her that made her like a frightened bird.

"Xi'er, it's me." Xu Rui didn't dare to get too close and spoke softly.

After hearing Xu Rui's voice, Jiang Xiyu finally saw his appearance clearly, but she did not relax and still looked alert. "Why is it you?"

Is this a dream or reality? Why is Xu Rui here?

"It's me, I'm back." Xu Rui was afraid that she would be scared, so he didn't get too close to her. He just stretched out his hand towards her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one dares to hurt you."

Jiang Xiyu stared at Xu Rui solemnly and did not move closer because of his words.

With him around, no one dares to hurt her?

How could he have the nerve to say such things when it was obvious that he was the one who hurt her the most.

"Didn't you go to suppress the bandits? Why are you back?"

He had only been gone for a few days, and hadn't even reached the northern border yet, let alone returned after suppressing the bandits.

"I heard that you were seriously ill. I was worried about you, so I came back to see you." Xu Rui moved towards her.

"I heard?" Jiang Xiyu snorted disdainfully, directly exposing his mistake. "It was the secret guard you planted in my courtyard who reported it, right?"

Seeing her expression was wrong, Xu Rui quickly explained, "I don't want them to monitor you, I just want to protect you."

Jiang Xiyu stared at him without blinking, as if trying to figure out whether he was telling the truth or a lie.
