Ruyi did not enter the house.

Xu Si has said this step, and she has nothing to defend and add-of - of course she will not ask Xu Yi to accept Zhuang Qi Niang alive to help her support her, but she will never draw a line with Zhuang Qi Niang in order to be with Xu Yi.

If the Xu family really can't accept it, there is indeed only one way to cancel the marriage contract.

Of course, if Xu Yi can come back in time, there must still be room for turning around - Xu Yi must have a way to appease Xu Mao and Mrs. Xi, and he will definitely not force people to force Ruyi to send Zhuang Qiniang away.

But the real obstacle between her and Xu Yi is Mrs. Xi.

The snow outside gradually stopped.

The servants had begun to sweep the courtyard, and the bamboo brooms rustled on the snow and ice.

Ruyi was upset when he heard this, so he went back to the cloak he had put on in the house, and went out of the courtyard to the small Buddha hall in the west hall.

She recited a sutra in the Buddhist hall, and Mrs. Mo Xi had almost left, so she closed the sutra and went back to the north hall.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw Xiao Huaishuo coming from the bamboo forest. He obviously saw Ruyi as well, raised his hand and retreated from his entourage, and came to Ruyi's side alone.

Ruyi paused slightly and curtsied.

Xiao Huaishuo stopped, and for a long time he was just silent. When he forced Ruyi to "recognize his identity", he had expected such an outcome, but when he faced it, it was not easy to accept. In fact, he only felt that he was being caricatured, as if he were bending to him, as if he were taunting "if this is what you want, then you got it", but he was the only thing he didn't want.

He once told himself not to worry, many things cannot be changed overnight. But at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel irritable.

"You're angry with me." He finally spoke.

Ruyi obviously knew why he said that, so he said, "...... It's good to get used to it first, and when you meet in the future, you always have to be polite. ”

She was really sarcastic about him, Xiao Huaishuo thought - she really avoided the most critical question, and refused to look directly at his mind. Rather question his character.

“…… It's cold outside, so let's get inside. She said with a cold brow and a calm face.

She did have a very bad problem, and she only responded with coldness and silence to those things and people that she felt were useless to lose her temper, and she refused to even show her anger. This makes many people think that she is arrogant and looks down on people from the bottom of her heart - it is precisely because of this that Liuli is more and more resentful of her.

But this is only for those who she doesn't want to deal with in vain, she has always had a temper and a tantrum when she treats Xiao Huaishuo, the reason doesn't make sense, and it's not that she hasn't done it.

But now she didn't want to expend her strength on him.

Xiao Huaishuo couldn't help but get annoyed, and stepped forward to hold her hand.

She finally showed a look of annoyance, turned around and swung it away, the thorns all over her body opened, and glared at him and took a step back.

Xiao Huaishuo's face had changed—when her cuffs swept over Xiao Huaishuo's nose, he smelled the unique cold fragrance of the Buddha's bronzes mixed with white sandalwood.

“…… Did you come back from the Little Buddha Hall? ”

Ruyi said, "Yes." ”

Xiao Huaishuo suddenly had some bad premonitions, he couldn't help but lower his voice, and said, "When did you start believing in Buddhism?" ”

He looked at Ruyi, and Ruyi's face changed from impatience to realization, and then from feeling funny to dazed and silent......

"It's never too late to believe," she said. ”

Xiao Huaishuo was silent.

For a moment, his mind went blank.

When he came back to his senses, Ruyi had already taken his skirt and entered the courtyard alone.

He didn't hesitate to say, "My aunt has been here, right?" ”

It must be for the marriage with the Xu family - Xiao Huaishuo thought that today he ordered his wife to enter the palace to make a pilgrimage to the Queen Mother, and Mrs. Xi must have stayed to talk to Xu Si.

Ruyi really stopped.

"Yes." She turned to look directly at him, her eyes hinting sarcastically, "You already know what your aunt is talking about." ”

Xiao Huaishuo was in a mess, and he only relied on instinct to confront her, "The Xu family refuses to marry you?" ”

Before his words fell, Ruyi's eyes were already red-Xiao Huaishuo knew that he was right.

His heart was happy and depressed, and he only felt out of control. Whether it is his own feelings or the current situation, it has deviated from his original intention.

He tried to whitewash the peace, but he felt that he was deceiving himself when he said it," ...... That's why you're angry with me? ”

His words somehow angered Ruyi.

"Anger?" She raised her head, as if she had made up her mind, and suddenly asked, "If the fifth let not make trouble, how are you going to uncover my origins?" Or if I'm willing to get to the bottom of it, you're willing to press this matter and not force it to uncover? ”

Xiao Huaishuo was unprepared and couldn't answer for a while.

Ruyi further said, "Did you arrange the five generations of light?" ”

Xiao Huaishuo breathed a sigh of relief - only this one he had a clear conscience.

But Ruyi seemed to anticipate his response, and her eyes were full of mockery, "-well, he didn't arrange it for you." So dare you say that when he finally made a fuss, you didn't secretly connive and add fuel to the fire? ”

Xiao Huaishuo was stunned again, and subconsciously retorted, "...... If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. ”

Ruyi looked at him, tears slowly welling up.

She was silent for a moment, as if she had exhausted her strength, and all the aggressiveness dissipated. For a moment, she was even disillusioned.

Mr. Xiao also realized that he had made a mistake in dealing with it — he did not deny even a single accusation. Instead, like an unskilled child, he clumsily tried to avoid answering positively. In front of Ruyi, he really hasn't gotten used to lying.

Moreover, he was actually weak-hearted—what the Fifth Jean did did indeed solve his predicament in a certain way, and it was in line with his mind.

Ruyi stood dumbfounded for a moment and muttered, "...... What exactly do you want? Even if I'm not your own sister, for the sake of all these years of treating you wholeheartedly, you can't treat me like this......"

What results does he want......

The result he wanted, it was really difficult for others to understand. But he rarely really wanted anything. It's a rare encounter, and he wants to try it hard. After all, there is only one budding in a lifetime, and you can only meet one person in your life, how can you give up without even trying?

"Would you rather be confused for the rest of your life?"

"Even if you want to sue me, you don't have to make trouble like today!"

Xiao Huaishuo was a little out of control again—she didn't question him when she learned that he had induced her to investigate the truth, and she didn't question him when she learned that he had sued Xu Si. At this moment, it just involved the Xu family, but she said, "It's come to this point".

"What's the problem? Is it that A-Niang doesn't want you anymore, or do I don't want you anymore? My aunt can find fault with you for such a thing, so it can be seen that she treats you like this. She dislikes your origins, and you blame me for revealing the truth - too self-deceptive! ”

Ruyi really doesn't have the strength to deal with it.

“…… Enough is enough. She said.

She turned around to leave, and Xiao Huaishuo couldn't help but become anxious. He thought, at least the matter of the fifth let, he had to explain it to Ruyi.

Someone in the temple was already aware of their movements.

Xiao Huaishuo took Ruyi's hand and couldn't help but say, "Come with me." ”

Ruyi can't break free.

From childhood to adulthood, Ruyi has never suffered a loss in physical conflicts. But the innate strength gap can't be made up for no matter how diligent you practice martial arts.

This reality made Ruyi extremely sad and angry.

She has always worked so hard, no matter how she treats her family or does things, she has never retained half of her strength and selfishness. And what she longed for was the most natural thing - family stability, brotherly harmony, and marrying the man with whom she freely entered into a marriage contract. Is this too much to ask? Why can Xiao Huaishuo destroy everything without frowning? What is her sincerity and hard work in his eyes?

Xiao Huaishuo finally let go of her.

They are standing under the spring grass pavilion, the snow has pressed down the green bamboo, and the pavilion rockery is white. In the white snowy scene, only the water in the spring grass pond is dark and uncondensed, as if it is bottomless. They confronted each other by the pool, and their figures were echoed on the calm blue water. Ruyi was discouraged, and Xiao Huaishuo hesitated.

"I didn't instigate the fifth." Xiao Huaishuo said, "I know there is this person, but after learning some things about him, I don't want you to have anything to do with him again." I don't want him to be in front of you. But he is ...... after all So, I didn't dispose of him either. ”

Ruyi smiled gloomily, "As a result, he found me 'by himself', right?" ”

Excuse yourself at this time will undoubtedly only deepen Ruyi's prejudice. But that's the reality.

Xiao Huaishuo paused for a moment and said, "I do want to uncover this matter, but I'm not vicious enough to that extent. If I had done anything I could, I wouldn't have delayed letting you know today. ”

"Thank you so much." Ruyi said, "But is it really so difficult to uncover this matter, it can make you toss and turn." You can arrange for an old servant who knows the inside story to tell me the truth, and as you say, I will definitely follow it to the end. You can still stay out of it. Why don't you use such a simple method? ”

She seemed to give up a struggle, "Because just letting me know is not your ultimate goal at all...... Is that right? ”

Xiao Huaishuo couldn't answer.

This response also confirmed Ruyi's speculation, and she was in pain, "...... Are you going to make my people rebel? ”

Xiao Huaishuo said, "...... The only one who dislikes you is your uncle's family, and my aunt and I don't care. ”

Ruyi said, "...... Is that what you're here for? ”

She guessed - Xiao Huaishuo was a little confused, she thought she would continue to escape. But she actually guessed whether this meant that she really understood his thoughts about her.

The current situation is obviously terrible, but he Xiao Huaishuo faintly feels looking forward to it.

Ruyi couldn't help but take a step back, she couldn't understand it at all, "For the sake of the untimely feelings in your heart, even you don't know whether it's true or false, you don't hesitate to destroy my marriage and damage me, my aunt and my uncle's family?" Xiao Huaishuo...... Are you crazy?! ”

Xiao Huaishuo said, "It's just to uncover the truth, who has it harmed?" Ah Niang wanted to be a qiē that never happened, and I agreed. You asked me to play that stupid play with you, and I agreed. Now it's just your uncle's turn, and they feel that your background is more important than you, so you can't stand it? It's clear that your own marriage can't stand the test, so why should you be angry with me? ”

He said, "If you can't even stand this test, why should you be nostalgic? It's better to be separated from each other and be happy. ”

"Rejoice?"

Xiao Huaishuo said, "...... You're sure to have a better marriage in the future. ”

"What's better?"

Xiao Huaishuo paused and said, "I ......"

Ruyi interrupted him again, "If one doesn't work, then change another." Erlang, what do you think of people's hearts? She said, "You're right, it's my marriage that can't stand the test, so it's better to be separated and happy." I shouldn't be angry with you. But a better marriage, let's forget it. She looked directly at Xiao Huaishuo and said, "I don't have the strength to like anyone anymore." ”

Ruyi turned to leave.

Xiao Huaishuo said, "Why do you all like to assert the future so much?!" The marriage contract with the Xu family is also a marriage contract, and if you don't even know who you are, you can't even say the word 'yes', it's also called a marriage contract?! Obviously, I just know who I am, and I have just begun, how dare I say that I will not like it in the future? What is the same thing in the world? Mongolian children know the vicissitudes of life and the changes of the world, why do you all feel that when it comes to people's hearts, they will be eternal? ”

Ruyi stopped.

Xiao Huaishuo's words couldn't help but pause, he looked at Ruyi's figure, eager for a turnaround. Ruyi really turned around, and he waited nervously.

But Ruyi only paused, and then picked up and left again.
