Reborn Concubine's Wife

257 Chapter 3 Cleaning You Up Without Discussing ([-])
In the afternoon, she asked Liu Xu to prepare a car, and went to visit Zhou Mansion in a carriage.

When the carriage arrived, the Zhou Mansion was full of busy scenes.Hearing that Zheng Ruo was coming, Zhou Jue greeted him personally.

"I've heard that you are recovering, but it's a pity that I can't get away to see you. You won't blame me, will you?" Zhou Jue said jokingly, and took her to a waterside pavilion.

"Xuanzhi was joking. Back then when I was seriously ill, you often came to visit me. You either brought ginseng or brought famous doctors here. I was too late to be grateful, so how could I blame you?"

Zhou Jue smiled, patted his hands lightly, and a maid brought up a tea set and a small clay stove.

"I heard that you like to drink wild tea. I have wild tea from Jiangnan here. Would you like to try it?"

Zheng Ruo nodded with a smile.

Watch him boil water smoothly, wash tea, make tea, and pour tea.Suddenly there was a feeling of discomfort in my heart, and there were tears in the corners of my eyes.

Zhou Jue pushed the teacup in front of her, and said with a smile, "Try it, how about Bijiulang?"

Zheng Ruoyi picked up the teacup, took a sip, her mouth was full of bitterness, and her heart was also bitter.

Seeing a tear drop down her cheek, Zhou Jue was startled, took a sip of tea, frowned and put down the teacup, and said, "Perhaps it's because the tea is too much, and it's a bit bitter. It doesn't taste good, just drink it." Don't force it." Saying that, she went to get the cup in her hand.

Zheng Ruo avoided it lightly, took another sip and said, "No, it's quite delicious, although it doesn't have Biluochun fragrance, it still has a special taste."

"Since you like it, why are you crying?"

Zheng Ruo wiped the corners of his eyes, forced a smile and said, "I think of someone or something, so I hurt my feelings. It's not because of the tea."

Hearing this, Zhou Jue glanced at her, sighed and said, "Ah Ruo, don't you want to marry Li Yun?"

Zheng Ruo didn't answer, but drew circles along the edge of the cup with his fingers.There was a moment of silence between the two, and he said again, "It's true that Jiulang left you here alone, and he didn't even come to see you when you were sick."

Zheng Ruo's hand stopped, and tears suddenly dripped into the tea soup uncontrollably, but she controlled them again after only two drops.There are some things that she doesn't know how to explain.

"Ah Ruo, if you really don't want to marry General Li, don't marry him. I'll help you!"

Zheng Ruo smiled, and asked without answering, "Do you know where Jiulang is now?"

"Langya Palace. You know this too." Zhou Jue asked strangely.

When Zheng Ruo heard what he said, he knew that he was not very clear about Wang Jiulang's whereabouts.If even he didn't know where Wang Jiulang was, how could he find him?
"Can you contact Kuro?"

Zhou Jue let out a laugh, "Ah Ruo, do you miss Jiulang? Ask him to help you cancel the marriage? Don't worry, Jiulang said before he left that he would come back in a year. General Li may go out this time for a short time. You won’t be able to come back within the time limit. Therefore, no one will force you to marry. Speaking of which, this General Li is kind and righteous. Knowing that you want to be happy, he will marry you without saying a word. Knowing that you wake up, Afraid of wronging you, I temporarily canceled the engagement. Ah Ruo, if Jiulang hadn’t come first, I don’t think I can compare to him.” After thinking for a while, he said, “If Jiulang doesn’t come back next year. Ah Ruo, don’t waited."

"Xuanzhi, do you know something? For example, why Jiulang came to this remote place from Langya? Why did he leave in such a hurry?"

"Ah Ruo, as you know, we aristocrats seem to be glamorous, but the inside is far less peaceful than it looks on the surface."

Zheng Ruo is silent.Regardless of whether it was the previous life or this life, Wang Jiulang probably would never return to Phoenix City or Liaoxi after he left.Even if he will come back, it will be six years later.But at that time, this place was already dominated by Shihu.

Is it really missed?She didn't even have time to say "I'm sorry"?

After returning from the Zhou residence, Zheng Ruo sat in the garden and pushed away the catkins.When there was no one there, I tried to call "Shadow One" a few more times.But there was still no sign of him.

She thought maybe she was too self-indulgent and almost killed someone, but she still hoped that someone would leave someone to protect her.I feel that I am too thick-skinned.

After having dinner with her father and brother, she returned to Hengwu Garden, it was dark, and Lin Sanniang finally came back.The black samurai uniform set off her heroic appearance. She smelled strongly of blood, her face was pale, and she was holding her right hand with her left hand.Zheng Ruo saw that her right hand had been slashed, the wound was deep, but fortunately no bones were injured.

Hastily made her sit down, then asked Liu Xu to boil hot water, found a clean cloth, took the wound medicine, and cleaned her wound.Only after the wound was properly bandaged did Lin Sanniang have the opportunity to tell what happened to Bai Hualin today.

It turned out that she followed Shi Yue out of the city according to Zheng Ruo's order, and killed Shi Yue in the birch forest according to Zheng Ruo's wishes.Unexpectedly, just as they were about to strike, a lot of people in black clothes suddenly appeared from nowhere, screaming and slashing at them with big knives.At that time, Lin Sanniang thought that to kill Shi Yue, a person with no strength to restrain a chicken, he didn't need so many people, and only brought two subordinates.Unexpectedly, there was an ambush unexpectedly, if the three people on his side were not so skilled, I am afraid that this would have already been on the road to Huangquan.

"Ah Ruo, I have failed your trust." She said shamefully.At first, she thought that Zheng Ruo was making a big fuss, but now it seems that Shi Yue is really not simple.

Zheng Ruo waved his hand, expressing his indifference.After thinking for a while, he asked, "Sister, do you know where those men in black came from?"

"They were all covered in black cloth, so they couldn't see clearly for a moment," she said after thinking for a while, "However, from what they said, they seemed to be barbarians."

"Human?"

Shi Yue was riding on the horse with a pale face, and Zheng Ru was sitting behind him, holding the rein tightly. In the moonlight, her face looked extremely gloomy.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from around, and those big men who were also riding on horses, seeing Shi Yue being protected by a woman, all laughed.They joked with Hu Ren's words and looked at Shi Yue with disdain.

Zheng Ru couldn't understand what they said, but it didn't mean she couldn't understand the expressions on their faces.Don't talk about those barbarians, even she herself looks down on Shi Yue.Shi Yue has slowly come back to his senses, and said to Zheng Ru behind him, "Stop the horse, you sit in front."
