Chapter 178: It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t deserve it

Xie Ruzhuo has always loved wine, so naturally he would not miss it. His eyes lit up, and he agreed with a crooked brow.

Although the Feng family mansion is heavily guarded, Wen Ruyu is a person who can freely enter and leave even the forbidden areas of the palace, so how can he be troubled here? In just three or two, they took Xie Ruzhuo out of Feng's house and headed towards the busiest street.

The two found a wine shop, ordered several jars of chrysanthemum wine, and drank while facing the peerless moonlight outside.

After drinking for three rounds, Xie Ruzhuo felt that the scenery in front of him was spinning. She pointed at Wen Ruyu happily and said with a smile, "Master, why do you have three eyes, hehe."

As he spoke, he stretched out his jade-white arm and waved over.

Wen Ruyu had used a folding fan to block her arm, and sneered, "She is a frank girl, but it's a pity that her drinking capacity is no more than that."

A hawker walked by carrying a load outside and said in Wu Nong's unique soft language, "Double flower cake, sweet and not greasy, only three pennies a piece."

He suddenly remembered the woman's facial features, and stepped down in twos and twos to buy pastries, and then came up.

However, he saw that Xie Ruzhuo had already sat upright and was looking at the table in front of him dreamily.

Hearing the movement behind her, she tilted her head, smiled suddenly, and said, "Brother, are you back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Ruzhuo leaned over and lay on the table.

Wen Ruyu laughed and made a sign to order Zhuer to come and pick her up. Then she went to Fengzhai without thinking.

Feng Ruhong had already rested. After sleeping until midnight, she only felt a chill on her body and woke up soon after.

There was a man in front of her, a pair of fox-like eyes looking at her with aggression, which instantly made Feng Ruhong's heart tremble.

"You, why are you here at this time?" After she finished speaking, she remembered that she was only wearing a small piece of clothing. She blushed a little and said softly, "You carry me over here, I'll get dressed first."

"Tsk." Wen Ruyu laughed, bent down and raised her face with a folding fan, and said, "It's not like I haven't seen it before. It's too late to be shy now."

Feng Ruhong's face turned red, she bit her lower lip and remained silent.

Seeing this, Wen Ruyu stopped teasing her and just threw the double flower cake into her arms and said, "I will not marry you. I came here tonight to tell you, girl, don't think about it."

Hearing this, Feng Ruhong's face turned from red to white, and she suddenly opened the quilt. Regardless of the chill on her body, she just raised her head and asked, "But that's not what you said that day!"

"Oh, that day? Four years have passed since that day. You can still dream." Wen Ruyu left these words without mercy and turned around to leave.

But unexpectedly, there was a warm and fragrant jade attached to his back.

"You destroyed my innocence four years ago. Could it be that you will destroy my life four years later?"

Feng Ruhong said this with a trembling voice, and she felt that the night wind outside the door was getting colder, as if it would freeze her whole body.

"so what?"

However, Wen Ruyu only threw away these four words, took Feng Ruhong's hand away without mercy, and jumped out of Feng's house.

The wind blows the beaded curtain, and the sound is tinkling and tinkling, but it is gradually mixed with the woman's low sobs. She originally thought that this man finally found his heart and thought of her. Unexpectedly, that person turned out to be as ruthless as ever.

The double flower cake on the bed still exudes a sweet smell, but Feng Ruhong's heart has long been like the splashing ink night outside, gradually returning to nothingness.

It wasn't until she left Feng's house for a long time that Wen Ruyu felt that the tingling sensation in her chest had eased a lot. He slowly sat down against the wall and raised his hand.

The totem that started to spread from his wrist is no longer obvious, but the tingling sensation still reminds him that he is not worthy!

Xie Ruzhuo was right, the bright moon was bright, and if he dragged the other person down to the mortal world, it would be his own fault. But today, during the day, he actually once thought that he might be able to live a normal life!

The totem on his body reminded him mercilessly that since Wen Ruyu was a poisonous person, he should be alone in his life.

But he could never forget that day when he was poisoned, and in a state of confusion, he bewitched a woman with love, and then took away her innocence, but after the poison was gone, he ran away in panic in the face of the woman's tenderness and affection.

Even though she has never been able to forget her beauty over the years, every time she thinks of these things, it adds another layer of haze in Wen Ruyu's heart.

It would be better not to see you again now.

The stars in the sky gradually dimmed, and the ink color on the horizon became thicker and thicker. This is the last touch of darkness before dawn. It is like a ferocious beast, vowing to compete with the blue sky and white sun.

When Xie Ruzhuo woke up, it was already three in the morning. She rubbed her headache-ridden forehead, opened her eyes with some discomfort and said, "Zhu'er, what time is it now?"

"Young Master, it's almost noon now."

Hearing Zhu'er's voice, Xie Ruzhuo was slightly startled. Didn't she go to Feng's house with Wen Ruyu yesterday? Why was Zhu'er still there

After she opened her eyes and looked around, she confirmed that this house was indeed a small courtyard rented in Liuguang City.

"Hey, why am I here?" Xie Ruzhuo stood up and asked while rubbing his sore and swollen forehead.

Seeing this, Zhu'er obediently came over to rub Xie Ruzhuo's head, and replied with a smile, "Last night, the young master and the master drank together, and finally passed out drunk in the wine shop. It was my subordinate who went to pick you up."

"Then, I didn't do anything when I was drunk, right?" She never drank well, so she didn't make a fool of herself last night, right

Hearing this, Zhuer immediately smiled and said, "Young Master didn't do anything. He just kept hugging his subordinate and calling him little brother."

Xie Ruzhuo's face turned pale, and he laughed and said, "Well, I'm a little thirsty. Please bring me a glass of water." Little brother, that's exclusive to Xiao Junxi. Fortunately, others don't know.

Zhu'er didn't tease her, but brought her a glass of water with a smile on her face. As soon as she gave Xie Ruzhuo a drink, she heard a commotion outside the small courtyard.

Xie Ruzhuo then remembered that Wen Ruyu had come, and asked, "Yes, where is the master?"

"Well, it seems that the master hasn't come back yet. When I went to pick you up last night, I didn't see him there." Pearl answered truthfully, then asked with a smile, "Breakfast is ready, I'll take it right now." Can someone serve it?"

As soon as Xie Ruzhuo said "Okay", he saw Wen Ruyu walking in with a serious look on her face. She handed a note to Xie Ruzhuo and said, "I have some news for you."

"Hey, master is back now?" Seeing his weathered appearance, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but want to make a joke, but as soon as her smile appeared, she cooled down after seeing the words on the note.

There were only a few sentences on the note, and it only said one thing.

Xie Ruzhuo was assassinated in the hunting ground and his life was in danger.

"What's going on?" Xie Ruzhuo took a deep breath before saying this in a dumb voice. But the fear in her eyes was too obvious, as if she was a bitten animal, her eyes full of panic.

Wen Ruyu said in a deep voice, "I don't know the details of this matter. What do you want?"

"I'm going to find my sister!"

They have a deep love for each other as sisters. Now that the news came out, Xie Ruzhuo naturally couldn't sit still.

Wen Ruyu had known that she would be like this, so she didn't say much at the moment. She ordered the horse to be harnessed, and after giving Zhu'er a few instructions, she followed her to the royal hunting ground.

However, Xie Ruzhuo still had some sense left. Seeing his actions, he asked, "Master, that Miss Feng—"

This girl is still thinking about other people's affairs. Wen Ruyu doesn't know whether to sigh or feel relieved, "You meddling girl, you can go your own way."

But Wen Ruyu didn't make it in the end.

When passing by the city gate, they saw Feng Ruhong standing there in a wedding dress with a relieved smile on her face.

Behind her was her maid, covering her mouth and screaming, "Miss, what are you doing?"

Feng Ruhong didn't answer, she just looked up at the sky. When the red sun was approaching noon, she whispered in a low voice, "The auspicious time has come, the bride enters the bridal chamber-"

After saying that, the whole person floated down from upstairs like a butterfly.

The hunter in red clothes was like fire, burning Wen Ruyu's eyes.

But before he could react, his body pounced forward and held Feng Ruhong in his arms the moment the opponent touched the ground.

In the end, I still couldn't hold it back.

The street was full of passers-by, but Feng Ruhong didn't make much noise, so no one screamed in surprise the moment she fell.

But before the passers-by could comment, they saw a man wearing red lotus ink clothes holding her tightly in his arms.

The expected pain did not come, and it took a while for Feng Ruhong to open her eyes. Just seeing that familiar face made her burst into tears.

"Why are you here?"

Feng Ruhong covered her mouth, trying to stop the crying from coming out. But not only was it useless, it actually made her sobs become more miserable.

"You are really very capable. Do you really want to die in front of me?"

Wen Ruyu gritted her teeth and said this, but she didn't have the heart to throw the trembling Feng Ruhong to the ground.

Xiao Zhao also ran down the tower at this time, knelt down in front of Wen Ruyu with a plop, and said, "Thank you... Master for saving your life!"

This morning, Feng Ruhong said she was canceling the engagement for some reason, and then slipped out without anyone paying attention. Fortunately, Xiao Zhao paid attention and followed her quietly.

Unexpectedly, Feng Ruhong actually bought all the woman's wedding clothes, jewelry and other items, and then went up to the tower to commit suicide!

When he thought of the scene just now, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but feel scared. If the young lady dies, the city lord will definitely not spare these personal maids!

Wen Ruyu obviously noticed the change in her title, and didn't say much. She just made a gesture in the dark, then put Feng Ruhong down and said, "Since you don't want to die, let's go with me."

Feng Ruhong's eyes lit up, and just when she was about to speak, she saw Xie Ruzhuo riding up to the two of them, and said condescendingly, "Master, please stay here, remember to leave me a glass of wine, and bring it to me when you return to Beijing." That’s it. I’m leaving first!”

She still had the heart to smile, but the anxiety in her heart made her smile. After saying that, Xie Ruzhuo turned the horse's head, gave a sweet shout, and galloped away.

Several shadows had already followed her in a protective manner when she left.

"She, she is..." Feng Ruhong looked at Xie Ruzhuo's leaving figure in disbelief, then turned to Wen Ruyu. That woman just now had a face that would captivate a country and a dashing figure in riding attire. Such a beautiful lady, she actually called herself Master Wen Ruyu

Wen Ruyu's face turned cold, she glanced at her and said, "I just met her yesterday and forgot about her today. You are quite forgetful."

As he spoke, he added, "You are cruel enough to threaten me with death."
