Chapter 42: Confession
Before the sun set, Wen Ruyi was ready to go back, Mrs. Li wanted to keep her for a meal, she was worried about the horse in her heart, and wanted to go back and ask Chu Hongze for a favor, if she didn't have money now, would she go to him?
Wen Ruyi was annoyed, and as soon as she went out, she found that the carriage that was supposed to be waiting outside was gone, and she felt like she was going crazy.
I just wanted to go back and tell Mrs. Li if I could let the carriage in the house give her a ride, the more I thought about it, the more embarrassed I felt, yesterday, Mrs. Li also said that the relationship between the two of them was good, and King Rui must have doted on the princess, but today she turned her face and even called the carriage back.
Just as she was turning around, she heard someone shouting to her: "Wen Ruyi!" ”
The one who can call her by her full name like this is probably him.
Wen Ruyi hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, it was him, not only him, but also two horses.
Wen Ruyi had already put aside her previous unhappiness, and hurriedly ran towards him: "Is this for me?" ”
"Well, if you don't, I'll defend the wind."
"Yes, I didn't say no."
Wen Ruyi took the reins of the horse from him, and then got up to get on the horse.
The expression of joy did not dissipate, until she returned home, she was still reluctant to lead the horse, unwilling to hand it over to the next person to lead the horse ring.
Chu Hongze was helpless: "It's late, you're going to eat, it's going to eat." ”
Chu Hongze had to sigh that this was his adopted wife or child.
Wen Ruyi reluctantly gave the horse to his subordinates, and then followed Chu Hongze into the house to eat.
During the meal, Wen Ruyi was very happy, chattering about getting along with Mrs. Li today.
Chu Hongze also put his mind at ease, it seems that he has adapted to it.
In this way, Wen Ruyi went to the General's Mansion to study with Mrs. Li for a while, and Mrs. Li liked her very much, and asked her to go out to enjoy the lanterns together on the fifteenth day.
Wen Ruyi thought of what Chu Hongze promised her that day, saying that he would take her to play on the fifteenth day of this month, so he refused Mrs. Li.
"The relationship between the two of you is really good, like me and the general, he only has the affairs of the court in his heart, and I am in charge of all the big and small things in this house, he is often not in the house, so I can only raise some flowers and plants to pass the time, if you don't accompany me and talk to me for a while, I'm afraid I'll be sick."
Wen Ruyi has been in the house for so long, and this is the first time that Mrs. Li has taken the initiative to mention her and General Li, Wen Ruyi seized the opportunity and planned to ask in depth.
"Why do you feel bored? These days, I see a lot of ladies coming to you, saying that they want to ask you out for tea, how..."
"Those people, I used to ask them to go out with me, but no one paid attention to me, no, the general has been valued by the emperor, these people have come to invite me one by one, and only you, who is an interesting person, came to me to learn medical skills."
Wen Ruyi felt that she was really sorry for this Mrs. Li, she was too simple, she was too embarrassed to lie to her, should she confess to her, but if she confessed, she would be angry, and Chu Hongze's matter of trying to win over General Li would be in vain?
But if she doesn't confess, she will be very uneasy.
After returning to the palace, Wen Ruyi planned to discuss with Chu Hongze how to deal with this matter, she really didn't want to lie to Mrs. Li anymore, just because this Mrs. Li was too good to her, she was embarrassed to deceive, and her words today made her feel that she was no different from those people.
"Chu Hongze, I want to talk to you about something."
Chu Hongze sat down and prepared to eat: "Say." ”
"I want to confess to Mrs. Li."
Chu Hongze glanced at her, took back the chopsticks that were about to pick up the vegetables, and put them down: "Did she find something?" ”
Wen Ruyi felt even more irritable and uneasy, it would be good if she found something, the point is, she didn't find anything, and regarded her as a good friend, which made her inner uneasiness deeper.
"No, it's just that I don't think I want to lie to her anymore, she treats me as her best friend, but I'm lying to her, and I can't help it."
Although it is a bit of a white lotus to say this, but that's it, she also wants to be friends with Mrs. Li, so before that, she has to make it clear to her.
"Okay, do whatever you want."
Wen Ruyi didn't expect him to agree so happily, but he was worried that he was making concessions for himself.
"If you don't think it's good for the big picture, I'm not going, I'm just a little uncomfortable right now, just wait for a sleep."
Chu Hongze shook his head: "No, it is true that I did not think about the matter of General Li from Mrs. Li, this is the villain's approach, even if General Li is really put into our camp in the future, not only you, but I will also be uneasy, I will find another way to deal with this matter, you don't have to worry." ”
Wen Ruyi knew that he must have a way, this man would always guide her when she was most confused, she thought, maybe one day suddenly without him, she would definitely not get used to it.
The next day, Wen Ruyi went to the General's Mansion early, and the housekeeper said that Mrs. Li hadn't gotten up yet, so she asked her to wait outside.
Wen Ruyi was waiting for her in the yard, teasing the birds she raised from time to time, looking at the flowers she raised.
She did come a little early today, mainly because she didn't sleep much, and she didn't talk about it for a day, and her heart was not steady for a day.
"Ruyi?" Mrs. Li instantly laughed after seeing the person who came: "Why did you come so early today?" ”
"There's something to do with you."
Wen Ruyi scratched her head, and she didn't know how to speak at a critical time.
"It seems like a very important thing to come here so early."
Wen Ruyi nodded, followed her and sat down.
"Mrs. Lee."
"Why did you change your tune again?"
She was a little unhappy about Wen Ruyi's sudden politeness.
Wen Ruyi always called her Mrs. Li before, she said that she was too rusty, and called her old, the two of them compared their birthdays, and sure enough, there was not much difference, this Mrs. Li was only two years older than Wen Ruyi, so she asked her to call her sister.
"Sister."
Wen Ruyi changed her words, and Mrs. Li regained her smile.
"If there is anything, just say it, I will help you if I can."
Oh my God, how can she be so good, Wen Ruyi only felt that her head was going to be big, what did she say, such a comparison, she was simply bad, okay?
"I have something to tell you, don't be angry."
Wen Ruyi sped up her speech.
"Well, don't be angry."
Mrs. Li still has a smiling face, such a smile makes Wen Ruyi really unable to speak, but she has to confess when she cries in her panic.
Wen Ruyi stood up suddenly: "I actually approached you for a purpose, I actually wanted General Li to help Chu Hongze, so I came to you, but you have to believe me, I really regard you as a friend, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you today to confess." ”
She lowered her head and waited for Mrs. Li's humiliation to cover her face, but as a result, no one made a sound.
Wen Ruyi raised her head slightly and glanced at the person in front of her, and saw that although she didn't have the smile on her face just now, her face was not too bad, maybe there was a turnaround?
"Sister..."
Wen Ruyi called in a low voice, lowered her head again, and didn't dare to look at her.
"Okay, sit down, why don't you look like you've done something wrong."
Didn't she just do something wrong? Although it is not a heinous thing, if someone uses herself to deceive herself like this, she will definitely not forgive her.
Wen Ruyi sat down obediently, still keeping her head down.
"Sister, aren't you angry?"
"To be honest, I was a little angry at first, but then I thought that you lied to me and came to me early in the morning to confess, and I felt that there was nothing to be angry about."
Wen Ruyi listened to her words, and then dared to raise her head.
"Really? Aren't you angry? ”
Mrs. Li nodded, then stood up and turned to feed the birds in the cage
"As for King Rui's matter, I will mention it in front of the general, but this is not something I can decide, and the general has to make a decision himself."
Wen Ruyi was ready to be scolded today, but she didn't expect that not only was she not scolded, but she also completed the task assigned to her by Chu Hongze? She praised Mrs. Li over and over again in her heart, and General Li's vision was really good.
"Thank you, sister."
"It's your reward for accompanying me these days."
Wen Ruyi was shocked, it wouldn't be to drive her away.
"Sister, we..."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Li continued: "I won't be paid to accompany me later." ”
The two laughed, her worries unwarranted.
After returning home, Wen Ruyi told Chu Hongze about it, and she was really happy.
"I told you, I was scared to death, and I thought she was going to kick me out."
Wen Ruyi patted his chest, and he was still shocked when he mentioned it.
"Well, the princess is very powerful."
Chu Hongze answered her words while dealing with affairs.
"Then what reward do I have?"
Wen Ruyi leaned his head over and leaned closer to Chu Hongze.
"Wasn't the reward enough last time?"
Chu Hongze nodded on the tip of her nose with the finger holding the pen, little greedy ghost.
"It's different, I've helped you a lot this time."
"And what reward do you want this time?"
Wen Ruyi thought carefully with his head in his hands, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "What you said last time about taking me to enjoy the lanterns still counts." ”
"Of course."
Count the days, and it's almost up.
"Then I'll save this reward for that day."
Chu Hongze stopped what he was doing, and looked at her proudly, feeling that nothing good was good.
"Don't go too far."
"No, it won't."
Wen Ruyi was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so he raised his right hand and swore: "It's really not, you believe me." ”
"Hmm."
Chu Hongze doesn't believe her at all in these things, and if he doesn't see him for a while, he will cause him a lot of trouble, how can he be at peace this time? But fortunately, with him by his side this time, there shouldn't be too much danger.
