Chapter 41: The Knot of the Heart

Duan Ruoxi's dependence made Jiang Liuli unable to leave at all, so she could only stay with her until she was put to sleep again, and then she had time to leave secretly, so that Ming Xia could check on the man who bullied Duan Ruoxi.

After she was busy with everything, she found that it was already dark, maybe it wouldn't be long before Qin Mingyuan would come to look for Duan Ruoxi, he shouldn't have known about her situation yet, otherwise he would have found it a long time ago.

She was just about to go to dinner, Mingyue told her that Qin Mingyuan had come to her, and she didn't plan to pay attention to him, but after thinking about it, she still let him in, and there were some things that couldn't be hidden, so she didn't plan to listen to Duan Ruoxi's words.

She sat in the Lotus Hall, looking at Qin Mingyuan who was walking towards her slowly, her fiancée couldn't protect her, and she didn't believe him anymore.

Qin Mingyuan walked into the Lotus Hall and found that she was the only one and didn't see Duan Ruoxi, and her heart suddenly became worried, she wanted to come to Yishui Pavilion, she would definitely inform him in advance, this time, she came without saying anything, which made him feel that something was wrong.

"Miss Jiang, may I ask if you are here?" Qin Mingyuan asked politely, his gentle appearance was particularly charming, but it was a pity that Jiang Liuli was angry at this time, and it was not pleasing to see him.

"If you want to stay here for the time being, you can go back." She gave him a cold look, then lowered her head, poured a cup of tea, and drank it to herself, looking like she didn't care about him at all.

Qin Mingyuan saw the chill in her eyes, a little unclear, when she saw her for the first time, her eyes were also full of hostility and distrust, but not as strong as this time, he didn't know what made her so unkind to him, thinking that it should be related to Duan Ruoxi, because only she was implicated between the two of them, thinking of this, he was even more worried.

"Girl, can you let me see you, I have something to ask her." Qin Mingyuan's face was anxious, as long as he faced her affairs, his face would become colorful, instead of being calm and restrained.

"If she's already resting, come back another day." Jiang Liuli still rejected him, no matter when he came, Duan Ruoxi would not see him.

"Girl, if it's my fiancée, can't I even see her if I want to?" Qin Mingyuan frowned unhappily, wanting to see his fiancée, he had to go through her permission, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Hmph, fiancée." Jiang Liuli smiled coldly, looking at him with even colder eyes.

"You don't even know what happened to your fiancée, are you worthy to say such a thing?" She didn't give him any face, although he was also an innocent victim, but things started because of him.

"What's wrong with her?" Qin Mingyuan listened to her words, and was even more convinced that something had happened to Duan Ruoxi, and his desire to see her was even stronger.

"Want to know?" Jiang Liuli looked at him coldly, wanting to whet his appetite.

"Of course." Qin Mingyuan nodded without thinking, he naturally wanted to know about such an urgent matter.

"Then go and ask your noble princess Anle." She didn't tell him about it, but asked him to go and ask Princess Anle, and she wanted to see what Princess Anle would say.

"Princess Anle?" Qin Mingyuan looked at Jiang Liuli in shock, could it be that this matter had something to do with her? If it's true, then it's troublesome.

"I'm tired, please go back." Having said that, as for who he will believe, it depends on his performance, if his answer disappoints him, don't think about seeing Duan Ruo again in the future.

Qin Mingyuan saw that she really didn't plan to ignore herself anymore, and she couldn't ask the result if she asked any more, so she could only say goodbye first, planning to ask Princess Anle tomorrow morning.

He walked out of the Lotus Hall and saw Chunyue coming down from upstairs, his mind became active again, what Jiang Liuli didn't want to say, she should tell herself.

"Your Excellency." Chunyue saw Qin Mingyuan, and after saluting him, she stood aside and stopped talking.

"Is it okay if you regret it?" He saw that Chunyue's eyes were red, and he suddenly had a bad premonition, the person who could make her cry so sadly, except for Duan Ruoxi, there was no one else.

"Not good." Chunyue thought of Duan Ruoxi's current situation, and she was sad again, and she spoke with a crying tone, but she didn't dare to cry in front of him, so she could only endure it.

"What's wrong with her? Can you tell me? Qin Mingyuan's uneasiness in his heart was getting bigger and bigger at the moment, but no one told him the truth, so he could only be anxious.

"Miss won't let me say." Chunyue lowered her head and said, in fact, she really wanted to avenge Qin Mingyuan, but unfortunately Duan Ruoxi didn't let her say it, so she could only endure and not say anything.

After Qin Mingyuan heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, he didn't expect Duan Ruoxi to hide something from him, it seemed that her trust in herself was very weak, otherwise she wouldn't tell him nothing.

"Take care of her, I'll come back tomorrow." Since he couldn't ask anything, he had no choice but to leave, and when he asked the reason tomorrow, no one would stop him from seeing her.

"Yes." Chunyue lowered her head in response, with a trace of resentment in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it.

After Qin Mingyuan left, Jiang Liuli washed up, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Duan Ruoxi quietly, it is estimated that she will have nightmares tonight, so she can only accompany her, but to sleep in the same bed with her, it always feels very awkward, although they are all women, but they are not used to it.

After thinking about it again and again, she could only sleep on the soft couch, but fortunately, the stove in the room was strong enough, even if it was covered with a quilt, she would not feel cold.

When she slept until midnight at night, Duan Ruoxi was really awakened by a nightmare again, she couldn't stop crying from the beginning, and after seeing Jiang Liuli, she slowly calmed down, but she still grabbed her sleeve and didn't let go, in desperation, she could only lie beside her to make her feel at ease.

This night, Jiang Liuli didn't sleep well all night because there was someone sleeping next to her, and when it was just dawn, she got up, sat at the desk and read medical books, trying to find a way to heal her injuries.

Last night, she had written to her senior brother to go out of the mountain, and if she wanted to heal the scar on Duan Ruoxi's face, she could only rely on him, but his withdrawn nature would not go down the mountain so easily, but fortunately, she had a magic weapon in hand, and he would definitely go out of the mountain.

Thinking that after the senior brother came, with an indifferent look, Jiang Liuli shook his head helplessly, this time he threatened him, and he didn't know when he could forgive himself.

Unconsciously, she had been sitting at her desk for an hour, and when she remembered Duan Ruoxi, she found that she had woken up at some point, and was sitting on the bed curled up, staring blankly ahead.

"It's a pity." She walked over to the edge of the bed and sat down, still looking dumbfounded, as if she had no soul and was unconscious.

"He came to you last night, and I drove him away." Jiang Liuli couldn't, so she could only tell her about Qin Mingyuan, so that she would react.

"You told him." Sure enough, after hearing this, she quickly turned her head and looked at her anxiously.

"Nope." She shook her head, although she didn't say it last night, she can't guarantee that she won't say it today, after all, this matter can't be hidden for a lifetime.

"If you're sorry, are you going to keep him hidden?" She asked curiously, knowing that this was an impossible thing, why did it have to be so.

"I don't want him to see me like this." She stretched out her hand and stroked her left cheek sadly, the scar made her feel inferior and didn't dare to face Qin Mingyuan.

"Do you think he's going to dislike you because of that?" She asked guessingly, with Qin Mingyuan's character, he shouldn't be so snobbish.

"Of course he doesn't dislike me, but I don't think I'm worthy of her anymore." Her tears suddenly fell, and it seemed that this time the wound in her heart was very serious, and it was difficult to erase it for a while.

"Whether she is worthy of a person or not, it's not about comparing her appearance with her family background, just like Princess Anle, do you think she is worthy of Qin Mingyuan?" She reassured her, although she should not mention Princess Anle at this time, there are some things that cannot be escaped.

"She is naturally not worthy of Brother Mingyuan, not worthy of it at all." When it comes to Princess Anle, her mood suddenly became irritable, she can make such a gentle woman like this, then Princess Anle is really capable.

"Her identity is so noble, but she is not worthy of Qin Mingyuan, why? Because she has a vicious heart, she is not worthy of the upright Qin Mingyuan. Jiang Liuli guided her carefully.

"Just like you, you have a kind heart, and you are a real match for Qin Mingyuan, and it has nothing to do with your face, understand?" She said this to tell her that even without this face, she was beautiful.

Duan Ruoxi looked at her in a daze, thinking that what she said made sense, but the scars on her face were indeed ugly, even if she didn't look in the mirror, she would know it just by touching it, would Qin Mingyuan really not care about such a self?

"No, I can't see him, absolutely not." She suddenly reclined into her shell again, lay back on the bed, and covered herself from head to toe under the quilt, so that no one could see her face.

"If it's a pity, come out quickly, don't get bored." Seeing this, Jiang Liuli hurriedly pulled the quilt, and after persuading for a long time, it seemed that she had to find another way.

"Sister, will you let me be alone for a while? Please. Duan Ruoxi's voice came out of the quilt, and there was some crying in her voice.

"Okay, but you're going to take the quilt off." She sighed helplessly, and suddenly realized that she had times when she was powerless.

"Hmm." She replied sullenly.

Jiang Liuli knew that what she needed at this moment was time, and she could only wait for her to figure it out slowly, otherwise, she would hide in her shell forever and not want to see anyone.

Jiang Liuli looked at Duan Ruoxi, who was curled up in the quilt and refused to show up, so she could only choose to leave, although it was an unwise choice to let her stay alone in the room, but she still had to be given a little space to think.

After she went out, she closed the door, and did not leave in a hurry, but stood at the door, quietly listening to the movement inside, and soon, there was a crying sound from inside, she was immediately relieved after hearing it, and it was good to cry, at least she could vent the pain in her heart, and there would be problems if she endured it.

Now what she is most worried about is Qin Mingyuan, except for him, no one can pull Duan Ruoxi out of the shell, his attitude is too important to her, and she can only see his performance in the future.
