Chapter 225: Revisiting the Old Place with Good Intentions
Li Rui was a little unhappy. His study was not a place where anyone could just come in. He glanced at Jianying coldly.
Jianying was also helpless. He had just informed the person and he pushed the door open and came in.
"Put your things down and go back."
No matter what, she is her mother's niece after all, and has an inseparable blood relationship with him.
As long as they behaved themselves and didn't cause any trouble, he didn't mind letting them stay a few more days.
Zhou Yurou had been paying attention to the news from the main courtyard. When she learned that Li Rui would stay in the study tonight, she was overjoyed and felt that God was helping her.
He hurried to the big kitchen and prepared a calming soup for Li Rui himself. This was a good opportunity to get close to Li Rui.
Ever since she came to the Prince Rui's Mansion and saw the prosperity of the imperial capital and the immense wealth of the Prince Rui's Mansion, she became more certain of her feelings.
That is to marry into the Prince Rui's mansion. She believes that with her status as a cousin and her gentleness and thoughtfulness, she will sooner or later capture the heart of Prince Rui.
In addition, her grandmother and father asked her to find a way to stay with Li Rui.
Her voice was tender but aggrieved: "Cousin, I just thought that it was a rare opportunity for me to come to the capital to see you. My grandmother and father asked me to get along well with you, saying that we are a very close family."
Li Rui looked at her calmly: "It's so late, you should go back and have some rest. If you have anything, you can go find your cousin's wife."
Zhou Yurou paused. She didn't expect Li Rui to be so cold to her. It seemed that he completely disregarded family affection.
"I only saw my cousin's wife briefly in the palace today and didn't have a chance to talk to her. I will definitely get closer to her later."
"I just didn't expect that my cousin was sent to the study to rest on the second day of his wedding. How come my cousin's wife doesn't know how to pity my cousin?"
Princess Na Rui did not even cherish such an opportunity. She wished she could climb onto Li Rui's bed and take his place right now.
When Li Rui heard that she dared to say something bad about An Muxi, his face immediately turned cold.
"Jianying, send Miss Cousin back to the guest room. From now on, no one is allowed to enter my study without my permission!"
Zhou Yurou didn't expect that Li Rui would directly order her to leave, and she didn't realize that she had already touched Li Rui's sore spot.
He was pulled out of the study by Jianying, and Li Rui asked Jianfeng to come in and pour out the tranquilizing soup. Who knows if there is any dirt in it.
Early the next morning, Qiu Shuang told An Muxi about this matter.
"You said that cousin went to the study last night to bring calming soup to the prince?" An Muxi sneered.
She really had good intentions. Last night, she made a sudden decision to let Li Rui live in the study, and then she received the news.
Could it be that someone in this palace tipped her off?
However, An Muxi felt better when she learned that Li Rui had sent her back and poured out the calming soup.
As expected of her man, he is still very vigilant.
The main reason is that Li Rui has experienced too many similar things before, and now ordinary methods are probably useless to him.
After everything was cleaned up, Li Rui also came over.
An Muxi looked at his slightly blue eye bags and asked curiously, "What happened to your Highness? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
After a night of recovery, An Muxi felt alive again, and with the ointment she applied yesterday, she felt a lot more relaxed.
Without Li Rui to disturb her at night, she slept very well.
Unexpectedly, Li Rui looked so depressed. Could it be that he really fell into the trap of his cousin last night?
Li Rui sat at the table and looked at An Muxi with resentment: "I couldn't sleep last night because I thought about getting married and having to stay alone in an empty room. I didn't sleep well the last night, and this is what happened."
An Muxi was speechless. Li Rui wouldn’t do that, right?
At this time, Nanny Zhao and her maid brought breakfast over.
The breakfast was very rich, with all kinds of snacks, porridge, noodles and pastries. An Muxi was quite satisfied.
But what Madam Zhao said at the end turned her off.
"This crab roe bun is made by Miss Yurou herself. I'd like you two to have a taste of it."
Li Rui glanced at Zhao Ma indifferently and said, "You can leave now. You don't have to bring her food here in the future."
Seeing that Li Rui had a bad look on his face, Nanny Zhao had no choice but to agree and quickly retreated.
An Muxi didn't say anything and ate her breakfast with a normal expression, but she didn't touch the crab roe bun, which showed her attitude.
Li Rui directly handed the crab roe bun to Qiu Shuang: "This is a reward for you, go down and eat it."
Qiu Shuang had no choice but to take the crab roe bun and go downstairs with the other maids.
Seeing Li Rui doing this, An Muxi smiled and said, "I'm not angry, I'm just a little unhappy. You don't have to be like this."
Li Rui felt a little guilty. He had finally married Xier, but on the first day his grandmother brought people to make trouble for Xier.
Li Rui held An Muxi's hand and said, "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to investigate the Zhou family. It is definitely not a coincidence that they are here. If I find out that they are secretly colluding with the queen, I will not recognize this grandmother."
An Muxi held Li Rui's hand and said, "My Lord, I know you are in a difficult situation. This matter must be handled properly. Don't let anyone catch you. I don't want you to bear any stigma."
After they finished their breakfast, Li Rui took An Muxi to visit the Prince Rui's Mansion.
Later, Li Rui took An Muxi to the Furong Courtyard where she used to live.
An Muxi saw that everything in the yard was the same as before. She entered the small attic and found that the furnishings inside had not changed at all. When she reached the second floor, An Muxi saw that the things in her small warehouse were still there as before.
She felt a little embarrassed, because these were all things Li Rui gave her. When she left Prince Rui's Mansion, she took nothing with her except the dagger.
"Xi'er, you don't know how sad I was when you left these behind."
An Muxi was a little embarrassed: "I was always thinking about living a free life at that time, and I didn't see your intentions. I'm sorry, husband."
"So Xi'er wants to compensate me."
"Ah? How do you compensate me?"
Li Rui pulled An Muxi into the next room.
This was An Muxi's former bedroom. As soon as she came in, An Muxi became alert.
"You're not going to let me... um~"
An Muxi was pushed against the door by Li Rui, who blocked her lips with his mouth.
She knew that this person was not so kind as to take her around the garden. It turned out that he had a purpose.
But when she thought of his aggrieved words in the morning, about how he had to stay alone after getting married, An Muxi felt a little sorry for him.
But it’s not a good idea to do this in broad daylight, right?
Suddenly, a big hand slipped into An Muxi's collar, and the softness of her chest was kneaded wantonly. An Muxi felt like her head was exploding, and her legs went weak and she couldn't stand.
Returning to the room where she had lived for a long time, the feeling was completely different. Memories and reality overlapped, stimulating An Muxi's nerves.
She was brought to the bed by Li Rui at some point.
Clothes were scattered all over the floor.
She no longer cared whether it was appropriate to engage in sexual intercourse in broad daylight, and was brought into that wonderful world by Li Rui.
It was as if nothing existed around them and there were only the two of them in the world.
She bit her lower lip tightly and was finally forced to let out a low moan.
Li Rui seemed to be encouraged. He felt that Xi'er was the only antidote for him when he lost control.
The sturdy carved rosewood bed also made a creaking sound.

After the clouds and rain stopped, An Muxi was held in Li Rui's arms.
Li Rui felt a little guilty: "Xier, how do you feel now?" He originally planned to let Xier rest for a few days, but he couldn't help it.
Although An Muxi was exhausted, she had a really good experience just now. She didn't expect that she would recover so quickly.
Seeing Li Rui's cautious look, she raised her head and gently kissed his chin.
"I'm fine. I'm not that fragile. I just think it's inappropriate to do this during the day."
When Li Rui heard that An Muxi didn't blame him, he curled his lips and smiled: "Now there are only two of us in this palace, we can do whatever we want, why bother about what others think!"
Now An Muxi also smiled happily. Yes, she is now the Princess of Rui, and they are now a legal couple. Why should they care about other people's opinions?
Just as the two were being affectionate, there was a knock on the door.
Li Rui showed displeasure on his face. It was a rare opportunity for him to have a few days off after getting married. He had just made Xier happy and was ready to continue making progress.
Who is so blind? Qiu Shuang's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, Princess, Nanny Zhao is here and she wants to tell Your Highness something."
