Chapter 176 Then Kill
Chapter 176 Then Kill
Zheng spoke like a machine gun, obviously very angry at Xu Rui.
Xu Rui was also very angry. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Xiyu pulled his sleeve.
Jiang Xiyu looked at Zheng and said, "It's getting late. Daybreak is almost here. Mother hasn't slept all night. You should go back and get some rest. We have to fight a tough battle at the Zhou family tomorrow."
Judging from the time, it was almost dawn. Since he wanted to leave before daybreak, he decided not to bother with Zheng any more.
Just now she asked for their apology as a demonstration. Now that he appeared and stood beside her, the guards and servants in the mansion knew who was the master of the Yonglin Marquis Mansion. Naturally, she didn't need to demonstrate anymore. So she didn't care whether Zheng apologized or not.
"Hmph." Zheng flicked her sleeves and turned around to let the maids help her sit on the chair.
After Zheng and the maids left, Xu Rui sighed helplessly, "If she had been as tough as she was when facing the Zhou family, she wouldn't have been unable to see Xu Rong."
Jiang Xiyu raised her eyebrows in agreement.
Zheng was a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. She hadn't caused any trouble for her during this period, for fear that she would treat her as a soft persimmon again.
Xu Rui took her hand and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."
Whether it's Lin Rouyu or her mother, they are both difficult to deal with.
If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have to suffer such injustice.
Jiang Xiyu felt very uncomfortable and wanted to stretch it out reflexively, but thinking that she had to act in front of other people, she endured the nausea and let him hold it.
To be honest, it was really him who blocked her from performing.
If he didn't show up, she could deal with Lin Rouyu and Zheng by herself, and she could even make things bigger and be more ruthless.
But just because he showed up and stood by her without reservation, she had to consider him.
One was a distinguished guest he invited back home, and the other was his biological mother. It was really difficult for her to take action against him.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that she was staring at him, Xu Rui felt a little uneasy.
"Nothing." Jiang Xiyu came back to her senses and reached out to straighten his clothes. "It's almost dawn. You have to leave Kyoto before dawn, so hurry up and go."
Xu Rui frowned and looked at Jiang Xiyu with some reluctance.
She had to leave, but her mother and Lin Rouyu both wanted to harm her...
Jiang Xiyu seemed to know what he was worried about, and raised her lips and said, "Don't worry, even if you're not here today, they can't do anything to me. I'm no longer the same person I used to be. It's not that easy to harm me. As for Xu Rong, don't worry, the Zhou family probably won't take her life. This time, I will definitely let my mother meet her."
Xu Rui sighed again, took Jiang Xiyu's hand and said, "I don't care about Xu Rong's affairs at all, as long as she's still alive. As for mother and Lin Rouyu, I still say the same thing, if they don't come to harm you, then you can bear with them. If they continue like tonight, you can deal with them as you please, don't worry about me."
Jiang Xiyu was a little moved by these words. She chuckled and raised her head, "What if I want to kill Lin Rouyu?"
"Then kill."
The answer without the slightest hesitation warmed Jiang Xiyu's heart. The indifference in her smile disappeared, and a bit of sincerity appeared. "Let's go. Be careful on your way."
Deji led the horse and, together with Jiang Xiyu, saw Xu Rui off at the back door of the Princess's Mansion.
Before leaving, Xu Rui worriedly instructed Deji, "From today on, send a team of people to guard Xiangyu Garden. Before I return to the capital, Lin Rouyu is not allowed to leave the courtyard."
That woman has a very bad mind. If she is not restrained, I am afraid she will cause trouble in the future.
"Yes." Deji immediately bowed in response.
"I'm leaving." Xu Rui looked at Jiang Xiyu reluctantly, and then told Deji worriedly, "Protect the lady."
"I understand. May your lordship have a safe journey." Deji handed the reins to Xu Rui.
"Let's go." Xu Ruifei mounted his horse, gave Jiang Xiyu a last reluctant look before galloping away.
Jiang Xiyu watched Xu Rui's figure disappear from her sight little by little. She fixed her gaze on Deji and asked casually, "What exactly is the purpose of your Lordship's return to the capital this time?"
Deji looked at Jiang Xiyu in confusion, "Didn't the Marquis say that he came back because his wife was seriously ill?"
Jiang Xiyu sneered, "As his personal bodyguard, it seems you really don't know him well enough."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room, leaving Deji alone in a daze.
He really didn't understand what Jiang Xiyu said.
Xu Rui knew that Gulin was eyeing Jiang Xiyu, so after he knew that she was seriously ill, he was afraid that Gulin would take advantage of this opportunity to show his affection to Jiang Xiyu, so he came back specially. There is nothing to question about this.
Suddenly, there was a loud commotion in the nearby Prince Qin's Mansion. He ran out quickly, grabbed a palace soldier and asked, "What happened?"
The palace soldier stopped and said without hiding anything, "Something was lost in our palace. Our prince ordered me to wait for the whole city to catch the thief."
After saying that, the palace soldiers no longer paid attention to Deji and quickly followed the main force.
Deji stood there in a daze, looking at the hurried steps of the palace soldiers in confusion.
What exactly was lost in the palace that required them to mobilize so many troops?
For some reason, Deji's mind suddenly popped up the image of Xu Rui wearing a nightgown. He remembered that not long ago, after seeing Jiang Xiyu, Xu Rui took the leader of the Golden Guard out.
Thinking of this, Deji hurried back to the mansion and went straight to the leader of the Golden Guards. He asked directly, "What did the Marquis take you to do before?"
"us......"
The leader of the Golden Guards hesitated.
Deji asked directly, "Did you go to the Qin Palace next door?"
The leader of the Golden Guards raised his eyes in shock, looking as if asking, "How do you know that?"
When Deji saw the expression on the Jinwei leader's face, he guessed that the things lost from the Qin Palace must have been Xu Rui's doing. "What did you take?"
The leader of the Golden Guards knew he couldn't hide it, so he glanced around and then leaned close to Deji's ear and whispered, "Military Token."
Deji was shocked. Now he understood why there was such a big commotion in the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
Thinking of something, he anxiously said to the leader of the Golden Guards, "I just saw that the Qin Palace sent out a lot of heavy troops, saying that they were going to catch the thief. The Marquis just left not long ago, and I'm afraid they will run into him. You should quickly catch up with the Marquis and secretly protect him as he leaves the capital."
"Yes."
The leader of the Golden Guards did not expect that things would become so serious.
Didn’t Xu Rui say before that the military token was fake? If it’s fake, why is there such a big fuss now?
But the leader of the Golden Guards didn't have time to think about it, and immediately hurried to chase Xu Rui.
**
As soon as Xu Rui arrived at the city gate, he heard a lot of chaotic horse hoof sounds, not only behind him, but also from all directions.
"Young Master." Just when he was confused, the leader of the Golden Guards appeared in time and the two of them hid in the dark.
