Chapter 111
"Xiao Qi, you don't have to hide it from me. But, to be honest, I'm quite sad, I agreed to marry Yun Xuan pretending to get married, on the one hand, I felt that he and I could just take what we needed, on the other hand, I still felt that I had some feelings for Yun Xuan, so after a few years of getting along, I was more or less tempted by Yun Xuan, I didn't know Yun Xuan's thoughts, but I always thought that as long as I stayed by Yun Xuan's side, Yun Xuan would fall in love with me one day.
However, I always feel as if I am doing useless work, although your eldest brother is very good to me, but there is always a layer of estrangement between me and me that cannot be pierced, I originally thought that I did not get along with him enough, but I recently learned that it was not the case at all, but because your eldest brother originally had a deep love in his heart, and it was because of this beloved person that your eldest brother was unable to fall in love with other women. ”
Bai Lingyin shook her head, Ruan Li looked at Bai Lingyin like this, and still didn't tell Bai Lingyin anything, even if the truth of this matter was to be revealed, it should not be her to tell Bai Lingyin, but her eldest brother should tell Bai Lingyin personally, and the things and problems between them should be solved by themselves.
"Sister-in-law, I don't think I can answer this question for you, you should find a suitable time to talk to my eldest brother about this question." Ruan Li continued, "We are going back soon, sister-in-law, you can also go back and think about it, and the other is, sister-in-law, you are not only the princess of my Yunwang Mansion, you are also the daughter of the dignified Xiangguo, Miss Bai, since I first met you, I knew that you must be a reasonable and understanding woman, and I know that you will definitely have a good home of your own." ”
"Now, we are about to leave for home, no matter what the future holds, we love ourselves well, and it is difficult to understand the matter of feelings, but as long as we don't regret it, even if we make a choice against our hearts, as long as we don't regret it."
Bai Lingyin looked at Ruan Li, who was so transparent, and suddenly became enlightened, and looked at Ruan Li gratefully: "Xiao Qi, you are right. Okay, we're going to leave tomorrow, you have to rest and think about what might happen in the future, the path you have chosen is not an easy path to take. ”
"I see." Ruan Li nodded and left, she knew that Bai Lingyin was a woman with her own opinions, she also wanted to be a help to Yun Xuan, and she didn't want to add so much trouble to Yun Xuan.
But she forgot that she was also the daughter of the dignified Xiangguo, and it was Yun Xuan who told the world that there was no need to endure that.
Ruan Li didn't plan to change Bai Lingyin's mind overnight, Bai Lingyin didn't dare to act recklessly because Yun Xuan didn't have love for her, but Bai Lingyin was wrong, no matter what, Yun Xuan could give her what she wanted.
In other words, Yun Xuan could give her anything except love.
The second day came soon, and the carriage of the Yunwang Mansion was already waiting outside the door.
"Xiao Qi, you must be good, have you heard it, you must take care of yourself." Princess Yun was very reluctant to let Ruan Li leave, in the past three years, even though Ruan Li didn't say anything, but she could see that although Ruan Li was also very indifferent in the past, she was very agile in front of them, however, since she came back from Kyoto, she has lost that agility on her body, but there is a trace of sadness in her eyes.
Later, she learned from Yun Xuan about what happened to Ruan Li in Kyoto, she didn't want Ruan Li to go, but after all, this matter was Ruan Li's own choice, and she couldn't stop it, let alone stop it.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll definitely be fine." Ruan Li said with a smile, her eyes moved, she pulled Princess Yun to Yun Yu's face, and said, "Fifth brother, you are not too young, quickly find someone you like, but you must keep your eyes open, otherwise I won't recognize you." ”
Ruan Li has already made her position clear that it is absolutely impossible for her to accept Xia Qiru as her sister-in-law.
Yun Yu nodded: "Okay, you can rest assured, you and your eldest brother can go to Kyoto with peace of mind, and Yuncheng will be handed over to me."
Ruan Li nodded reassuringly, this brother of hers has always been measured, and he is not a person who can't afford to let go, so this matter is good enough to remind him.
"Gone." Yun Xuan said this sentence succinctly, Ruan Li glanced at everyone who was full of worries in front of him, just smiled, and said, "Let's go first, father, mother, and I will honor you when I come back later." ”
When I went to Kyoto, I don't know when I will be able to come back, and I don't know when I will see everyone again.
"Take care all the way." All the people looked at Ruan Li reluctantly, and they all felt an inexplicable sense of desolation in their hearts.
Ruan Li's trip, I don't know when I will be able to come back.
"Are you scared?" Bai Lingyin, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at Ruan Li, who was sitting opposite, and immediately took Ruan Li's hand and said softly.
Ruan Li shook her head.
To be honest, she is not afraid, and there is nothing to be afraid of in her heart, on the contrary, she still has a vague sense of expectation in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not afraid." Ruan Li looked at Bai Lingyin, and she was also very gentle, "Sister-in-law, you can return to your home soon, we can all have a good ending, right?" ”
I don't know who this sentence is comforting, comforting Bai Lingyin or comforting myself.
Bai Lingyin nodded.
As soon as he entered the city, he heard some rumors about Shen Sichen.
"Alas, have you heard of it, I heard that the Lord of Nanyang and General Shen Shao, the two are going to get engaged."
"Really? If you want me to say, these two people should have become a long time ago, in the past three years, the county lord of Nanyang has been accompanying the young general, the county lord of Nanyang has a noble identity, and he is so good-looking, if you want me to say, in the past, the county lord of Nanyang was arrogant and arrogant, and he was indeed not worthy of the lord of Nanyang, but now the lord of Nanyang has converged a lot, and there is only one woman by the side of General Shen, the two of them, no matter how you say it, it should be. ”
The sound of the market came faintly, there was a squirming, the sound was already loud, plus Ruan Li and his party were all martial arts practitioners, even if the sound insulation effect of the carriage was good, Ruan Li naturally heard their discussions.
I couldn't tell what was going on in her heart, Ruan Li's heart was surging, and she pretended not to care and lifted the curtain on the carriage and looked out the window.
Yun Xuan and Bai Lingyin shared a carriage, while Ruan Li sat in a carriage alone.
"What do you say, don't you know that it is a capital crime to talk about the royal family?" It is not allowed to talk about royal affairs in the ordinary market, but recently, due to the fact that the matter of Major General Shen and the county lord of Nanyang has been spreading, even if it is not allowed to talk about it, these people in the market still take advantage of the fact that the Praetorian Guards can't hear about it secretly.
Apparently, the conversation in the market was heard by the Praetorian Guards who came over to patrol.
"No, I didn't say anything." The women hurriedly lowered their bodies in fear, not daring to say anything, and not daring to come out of the atmosphere, for fear that the Praetorian Guards would arrest them.
"Didn't say anything? You didn't hear anything, do you know what kind of sin it is to talk about the royal family? The Praetorian Guards picked up their momentum there, and looked with disdain at the women of the city who were kneeling on the ground.
Those women in the market pounced and knelt down directly, it was not easy for them to come out to make money, just to make a living, but who knew that if they talked about such a thing, they would be punished with death.
"Adults, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about us, we country women, how do you know this." The women kowtowed desperately, fearing that their lives would not be at risk.
However, those Praetorian Guards did not manage so much, and they took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune: "Okay, if we want to let you go, you can give us fifty pieces of silver." After all, this is a capital crime, and if it is discovered from above, then we will also take our lives. ”
Looking at this scene, Ruan Li stopped the carriage and said slowly: "Slow."
Everyone heard this cold voice and looked over.
They saw a noble and cold woman, her eyebrows and eyes were full of amazement, her whole body was full of luxury, and her whole face seemed to be carved out, exquisite and exquisite.
"Royal? I'm afraid you're mistaken, whether it's the county lord of Nanyang or General Shen, they can't afford the word royal, but you can tell me, where are they talking about royal affairs? Ruan Li's gaze swept over all the soldiers present, and there was a majesty in his cold gaze that was difficult to ignore.
Today, Ruan Li, who has such a powerful aura, those Praetorian Guards still have the courage to say: "Girl, don't you know this, although the county lord of Nanyang is not a royal person, but after all, he is the emperor's favorite county lord, not to mention that the county lord of Nanyang can also be regarded as the daughter of one of the best clans, the king of Nanyang and the emperor love the county lord of Nanyang so much, isn't she half a member of the royal family?"
"What about Major General Shen?" Ruan Li held her cheeks, probably guessing what the Praetorian Guard in front of her would say.
Sure enough, those Praetorian Guards spoke again: "General Shen, you can be regarded as a member of the royal family, his sister, but now the queen is the queen, not to mention, don't you know, the emperor's most favored and deceased princess Niange, but he almost got married at the beginning, over the years, the emperor has valued General Shen Shao very much for this reason."
In and out of the words, it was obvious that they were praising Shen Sichen, but Ruan Li inexplicably heard a sense of unconvincing.
Also, whether it is Shen Qingling's reason or the reason for the deceased Princess Niange, no matter how you look at it, Shen Sichen has taken advantage of his identity, and even makes people ignore his previous achievements in joining the army at the age of five and fighting on the battlefield.
And most of these soldiers came from the homes of ordinary people, and they didn't know what Shen Sichen had done before, let alone all the efforts that Shen Sichen had put in behind his back, so it was normal for them to be unconvinced.
