Chapter 544: I Can Hold It
"Why?" After a moment, Xue Rui finally asked.
"Because it's completely unnecessary." Chen Ying replied quickly, took two more sips of tea, and continued: "You have solved the matter yourself, although I disagree with your solution, but a problem that has been solved should be put aside and think about it for another minute...... A breath is a waste. β
Xue Rui pondered for a moment, and her eyes lit up.
But soon, the brilliance in those eyes was replaced by gloom.
"This matter will not end like this, my father will definitely pursue it." She said coyly, her fingers twisted the corner of the quilt hard, and her fingertips were slightly white: "His old man has always been extremely concerned about the future. Now I have ruined his plans, and I have a wife...... On the side, he will not spare me easily under his wrath. β
Her face was ashen, she lowered her head and twisted her horns into a ball, refusing to let go for a long time, while her body trembled slightly.
Looking at this girl who was clearly afraid, but desperately wanted to bear it, Chen Ying knew that she must be very afraid.
Although Xue Rui has become cheerful and confident for more than a year, the persecution from her relatives (and more than once) is crushing her.
At this moment, Xue Rui was already a little self-defeating.
"It's nowhere near as bad as you think. And don't forget, you also have a second sister. Chen Ying smiled, her tone was brisk, contrary to Xue Rui's depression: "Your second sister has both courage and means, she can run out and deliver news to you, it is conceivable that there are still some people at home." With her maneuvering in front of Lord Xue, you won't suffer. β
Speaking of this, Chen Ying nodded a few more points to himself: "What's more, I will also help you, won't I?" β
Her eyebrows were clear, and her voice was calm: "You should know that my uncle is the prefect of Jinan Prefecture, and if he says a word, Lord Xue should not listen." If you still can't do it, Wei Yuanhou is my fiancΓ©, and I can also ask him for help. If it doesn't work, I can please His Royal Highness the Prince; Even if I find His Majesty, I am not speechless. β
Her voice became softer and softer, trying to relieve Xue Rui's emotions: "You don't always want to face it alone, you still have a sister, friends, and this huge school to back you up." β
At this point, she paused slightly, as if to deepen the weight of this promise, and continued: "You just need to remember that you are not alone, and if you encounter difficulties in the future, you don't have to carry it alone, you should find someone to find someone, and ask for help when you should ask for help, there is no shame at this, and no one will laugh at you." β
Qinglingling's voice, like the wind wrinkling and floating waves, rose layer after layer, spreading to Xue Rui's ears.
She kept her eyes down, seemingly indifferent, but the fingers of the quilt were gradually relaxed.
After a long time, she raised her eyes, and the bottom of her eyes, which were full of tears, contained a trace of deep worry, and even fear: "But...... However, in the end, they are also my parents, even if you support me, others only have to take the word 'filial piety' to press it down, and you are in front of you, isn't it embarrassing? β
"You're not me, how do you know I'm embarrassed?" Chen Ying smiled lightly, and the tea in the cup also whispered: "Besides, don't you just say it, the person who is embarrassed is me." In other words, this is already my business, and it has nothing to do with you, so why should you worry about it? β
"How's that going to work?" Xue Rui became anxious, her face turned red, and her expression was anxious: "Can I teach the principal to take care of this?" Your reputation can be ......"
"Fame is of no use to me." Chen Yinghun said indifferently, his eyes were faint, and his voice was the same: "Everything I do now is damaging my reputation, if I cared about it, I wouldn't be where I am today." β
After speaking, she was looking at Xue Rui, and said in a deep voice with an unprecedented dignified attitude: "Master Xue, you have made a decision and pointed out the direction, which is very good, I understand your intentions." Then I'll take care of the rest. Since I said that if I can hold it, I will definitely be able to hold it, please believe me, okay? β
Xue Rui looked at her blankly, her lips trembled, and she opened her mouth, but she couldn't spit out half a word.
At that moment, she suddenly felt that her whole body was sore, and she had no strength.
Not so long ago...... No, in the earlier days and nights, when she was lying in bed, there was wind and rain outside the window, the fragrance of flowers creeping in, and the sun dazzling, warm and brocade quilts, and people sleepy. She thought, what does all this matter?
I thought that everything was going well, but she had walked out of that eternal, breathless night, and the people, events, and memories of the past could no longer hurt her in the slightest.
However, in the end, a message from Xue Zhi knocked her back to her original form.
Until that time, Xue Ruifang had an epiphany, and she had never changed.
The so-called master, the so-called girls' school, and the so-called new life are just a sweet dream.
In the past, she was a humble concubine, and with her innocent body, she exchanged her sister's innocent reputation and life for safety;
Now, she is more humble than before, because she has long lost her innocence and her reputation has been ruined, so she can't even reach a more valuable object, even if she gives people as concubines and gives favors, it is also the kind that does not focus on the top, not to mention the recipient, is the party who bestows it, and I also feel that she can't take it.
And for the rest of her life, she will eventually return to the cage, and live humbly in that cramped place, or die.
Like many women who never see the light of day.
The thought burned her heart with a sharp pain, and it was not until a long time later that she realized that the pain was not a fantasy, but a real thing, tearing her skin and corroding her flesh.
It wasn't until that moment that she realized that before she knew it, she had poured the sour water that could erode all the wood on her chest.
Then, she was relieved.
Since he can't live like a human being, then he simply doesn't want to be a human being, destroys the only skin that can take out his hand, and becomes a monster that is not a human or a ghost.
This thought was so strong that when fainting came, Xue Rui's heart felt relaxed.
As long as she leaves the girls' school afterwards, finds a place where no one is around, and ends her life cleanly, her life will be over.
After that, for several days and nights, all the time, Xue Rui did not hold this thought.
But she didn't expect that what she thought was a dead end, but it turned out that there were countless ways to live.
She was wrong, wrong.
Xue Rui's lips trembled, and the tears in the corners of her eyes finally rolled down her cheeks.
"I ...... I...... Wrong. She raised her sleeves to hide her face, sobbing and tears flowing, with a heart-rending pain: "I really ...... Really wrong. I shouldn't ...... I shouldn't make my own claims, I shouldn't just ask people and take care of myself...... Gu hurt himself. β
She kept wiping away her tears, but the tears seemed to flow endlessly.
