Chapter 226: Nature

"If you say it, I'm afraid that I will be strangled to death by Bai Aya immediately, or sent to the nunnery to cultivate and not be able to come out."

Ruzhen smiled wildly, but her face was full of tears, her eyes flashed with an inexplicable obedient light, and she muttered in a low voice: "Since I can't live anymore, let's not live together......"

Xiao Yue was taken aback by her cruel look, shocked, angry and pityful, "Even if my aunt treats you badly, Miss Ruyao has no grievances with you......"

"Do you know, since I was a child, the person I hated the most was her."

Ruzhen's voice was vague, and the whole person seemed to be whispering in a nightmare, "The same concubine, why is she so lucky, she is loved by her mother as a pearl in her palm, and she is called the eldest lady from childhood to adulthood, but I have to be trampled on and cold-why is she, why am I?!" โ€

She gritted her teeth, and a drop of blood finally flowed down her lips, winding down on her snow-white skin, like a devouring demon, looking at Xiao Yue's eyes, there was a strange gorgeousness.

As if feeling the strangeness of his gaze, Ruzhen shook off his hand and ran away regardless of a qiฤ“, her hair bun was hooked and scattered by the bamboo branches, and a streamer fell, but she didn't realize it, just wolf bรจi left.

Xiao Yue leaned down and picked up the golden hairpin - the gilded little phoenix hairpin inlaid with rice beads is not very valuable, but it is plain and elegant, just like her usual style.

He stood in front of the doorway, looking at her distant back and was silent, but his heart was full of flavors, and he couldn't say anything.

Ruzhen's true face turned out to be like this...... At this moment, he seemed to be bitter and resentful, but there was a different kind of sadness and softness--he just stood there, watching her light purple and dark skirt reflect far away in the sunlight, gradually blurring-

It was a chaotic and strange beauty that he had never seen in his simple, plain, black-and-white world.

Xiao Yue returned home in such a daze, and he didn't even go to the martial arts training ground. Lie down directly with your clothes closed. I didn't close my eyes all night, and I woke up early in the morning and insisted on practicing archery, but there was a blue and black under my eyes.

"What's wrong with you?"

Mother Wang was distressed by this, and personally served him a bowl of red dates, glutinous rice and lotus seed porridge, "Even if you are busy with official business, don't forget to sleep and eat so much." โ€

She then remembered that her son had returned from his sister's house, and asked, "You came back so late, nothing happened to your aunt, right?" โ€

Xiao Yue's face froze, and his eyes were even more frosty, and the maids serving around him even felt that the atmosphere was cold. He then picked up the bowl and drank it absentmindedly, "It's nothing, my aunt's health is as healthy as ever." โ€

"There are too many embarrassing things in her house - Mrs. Tai is not her own mother-in-law, and she is full of calculations all day long, and now it is not her own son who is attacking the lord, but the concubine who can't be beaten by eight poles. This will of the Holy One is really inexplicably abrupt......"

Xiao Yue's movements in his hands paused, and he said in a deep voice: "Mother don't say this kind of thing in the future!" โ€

Xiao's mother was startled, and said, "Of course I won't go out to shout, I'm just talking about it at home." โ€

The voice did not fall. But he heard Xiao Yue say coldly: "Mother, have you ever heard of Jinyiwei's horseman?" They are used to picking people's roofs in the middle of the night......"

Needless to say, Xiao's mother was already pale with fright, and Xiao Yue's heart was even more irritable, but she slowed down her tone and said, "It's been an eventful time recently. My father is not in Beijing, so we should all be cautious in our words and deeds. โ€

Xiao's mother agreed repeatedly, but she remembered something on her mind, "Your father is busy being his political envoy in Shandong." I don't even have anyone to count your marriage, and if it drags on, you'll be almost twenty. โ€

She looked at her beloved son with a smile. "What do you like? When I went to my aunt this time, how many cousins could I see? โ€

She is quite willing to marry her sister's family in her heart, her brother-in-law Shen Yuan is a close minister in front of the emperor, proficient in literature and counselors, Jane is extraordinary in the emperor's heart, although the newly sealed Marquis of Jining is a concubine, but it is said to have the merit of saving the driver, and it is currently hot, and the ladies of this family have also seen several times at the festival banquet, each of which is extraordinary in appearance and appearance.

"Rucan, how is this kid?"

She had a ** smile on her face, and without waiting for her son to answer, she said to herself: "It's a pity that this child is too pampered, a little rude and willful, and has a carbon-like temper, I'm afraid that I won't get along with you." โ€

She hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen Ruzhen this time?" โ€

Xiao Yue already had a heart disease, and when he heard this name, he immediately choked and coughed, he simply put down the porridge bowl and frowned: "Why did you ask about her?" โ€

Xiao's mother hesitated, but finally said, "Originally, she was just a concubine, so it stands to reason that she shouldn't be considered, but I often interact with the Hou Mansion, and I also watched this girl grow up, not to mention anything else, just that calm and elegant bearing is very good, plus her appearance is also the first class among the sisters......"

Her brow softened slightly, "Besides, her sibling brother is now a serious marquis." โ€

It means that Ruzhen's worth is different from the past, and this family affair is not impossible to consider.

Xiao Yue's face was already strange, and when he heard this, his face sank even more - he had been in conflict with Guangsheng's character since he was a child, and they both looked at each other unpleasantly.

Guangsheng, this gentleman, accidentally saved the holy car, and it is also appropriate to be rewarded with a knight, but if he wants to be inflammatory, he must not!

Thinking of Ruzhen's vicious and extreme words, he felt irritable for a while, and said unconsciously: "Among the several cousins, only Ruyao has a noble character. โ€

After speaking, he put down the bowl, got up and rode to the Yaya, leaving behind Xiao Mu, who was confused, and muttered strangely: "Could it be that this kid is actually Ruyao from the big house?" โ€

She was happy for a while, but frowned for a while: Ruyao she hadn't seen many times, and she was indeed extraordinary, but she was not only a concubine, but her mother-in-law and biological mother all died early, and the Hou Mansion said that she was quite unlucky-plus her unreliable father was not a good candidate for marriage at all!

****

Xiao Yue was absent-minded all day, and he didn't return home in the evening, but wandered in a tavern for a long time, and his heart was upset.

Ruzhen...... She has an extreme heart, what else is going to happen?

Is the aunt really as innocent as she says she is?

Ruyao...... Where are we now?

As the noble son of the official eunuch's family, he originally heard a little about the subtle things in these back houses, but when he really came into contact with it, he was very uneasy in his heart.

It wasn't until the crescent moon that he rode back, and halfway through, he unconsciously headed in the direction of the Marquis of Jining.

When he found out, he had already arrived in a nearby alley, he found an empty yard and bolted his horse, and quietly climbed in through the side door of the Hou Mansion.

Such a bold act was something he had never dared to imagine. (To be continued......)
