After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 253: Leaves Take Refuge in Jiang Xiyu

Every time Xu Rui said she was his wife, Gulin's heart would ache. "She said she wanted to divorce you. She won't be the wife of Yonglin Hou for long."

Xu Rui was enraged by his words, "Don't dream, she is mine. As long as she marries me, she will always be my wife, Xu Rui. I will never let her go."

Xu Rui glared at Gulin with rage, deliberately provoking him, "She and I have already consummated our marriage. How can you, a prince, be so obsessed with someone else's wife?"

Gulin instantly thought of her vanished toad blood, and suddenly clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with jealousy. "This king doesn't care whether she consummated her marriage with you or not, nor does he care whose wife she is. This king only cares about her."

These words angered Xu Rui even more, and he hit him even harder.

On the other side, in the imperial palace, people were very surprised to hear the report from the secret guard.

Xu Rui and Gulin actually have such a deep grudge. When did this happen and how come he has no idea about it?

It seems that I need to find an opportunity to test Xu Rui's attitude.

He was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that Xu Rui was someone Gulin placed by his side, and he didn't want to put a thorn by his side.

Gu Wei said with a serious face, "Keep watching, both of them together, and report any movement."

"Yes." The leader of the secret guards responded and immediately bowed and retreated.

While they were fighting fiercely, Jiang Xiyu was sitting on the bed, unable to sleep, and kept his eyes open thinking about things.

At daybreak, Qing'er's voice rang out from outside the door, "Madam, are you awake?"

"whats the matter?"

Qing'er didn't expect that she had been awake for so long, so she pushed the door open and walked in.

"Madam, Liu Ye said she wants to see you."

Jiang Xiyu was stunned, frowning slightly and asked, "Did she say anything?"

Qing'er shook her head. "She said she would tell you when she saw you. But I saw that she looked a little disheveled, covered in mud, and smelled really bad."

Jiang Xiyu put on her clothes and said, "Go and call her in."

"Yes."

After a while, Liu Ye followed Qing'er into the room and knelt down in front of Jiang Xiyu as soon as she entered. "This servant greets the madam."

Jiang Xiyu looked her up and down.

Just as Qing'er had said, she was covered in dirt. Even from a distance, she could still smell a faint stench of decay. As a medical student, she was very familiar with this smell.

After all, there was a period of time when her mother dragged her to the mass grave every day to practice on the corpses of the newly dead.

"You went to the mass grave?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ye looked at Jiang Xiyu in surprise, "Madam, you...how did you know that I went to the mass grave?"

Jiang Xiyu raised her eyebrows, "You smell like a rotting corpse."

Liu Ye's eyes suddenly turned red, and she kowtowed to Jiang Xiyu with emotion, "Madam, the Marquis had Ye Zi beaten to death with a stick, and she was thrown into a mass grave. I have known her for more than ten years, and I really couldn't bear to see her body exposed in the wilderness, so I secretly went to bury her after she fell asleep, rolled up a straw mat and buried her."

Jiang Xiyu carefully examined Liu Ye's expression and saw that she didn't seem to be acting. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Although it was just a straw mat and a long pit, you at least preserved the friendship you had with her for more than ten years. Now she has died a tragic death and her body is exposed in the wilderness. You are the only one who still cares about her. I believe that if she is still in heaven, she will definitely be grateful to you."

Liu Ye didn't expect that Jiang Xiyu could say such words to comfort her. She was so moved that she burst into tears. She kowtowed to Jiang Xiyu again in gratitude.

"I wonder why you came to see me at this time?" Jiang Xiyu asked.

She was not too affected by Shuye's death. After all, in her previous life, it was Shuye who came to call Xu Rui away every time. In this life, he did not take her, the wife of the Marquis, seriously at all and acted like a master in front of her.

So don't say that this girl Shuye is smart and doesn't know the difference between high and low, she deserves to die. Even if she is a good maid who follows the rules, she is still Lin Rouyu's maid, and she is not likely to make trouble for Lin Rouyu's maid and Xu Rui.

After a few seconds of silence, Liu Ye kowtowed to Jiang Xiyu and said, "I have come to seek refuge with you, Madam. I beg for your mercy."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xiyu looked puzzled.

She was Lin Rouyu's maid, not the maid of the Yonglin Marquis's Mansion, so she couldn't decide where to go.

It took Liu Ye a lot of effort to come to Jiang Xiyu today. As a maidservant beside Lin Rouyu, she would not be able to see the lady without Qing'er's notification. So she went to see Qing'er first. With Qing'er's help, she was able to see the lady at this time.

Now that she had finally met the person, she naturally had to tell him her purpose, otherwise her trip today would have been in vain.

Now that Shu Ye is dead, although the Marquis will send two more maids to the girl, she is an elder by the girl's side after all, and the girl will definitely order her around more often. She may not have many chances to hide from the girl in the future, so she must seize this opportunity no matter what.

Even though she was too embarrassed to speak out, Willow Leaf steeled her heart. "Although Leaf's death was her own fault, it also showed me how cold-hearted you are. I don't want to suffer the same fate as Leaf in the future, so I want to come to you, Madam. Please have mercy on me and accept me."

Jiang Xiyu suddenly realized that it was because of Ye Zi's death that she saw clearly that Lin Rouyu was not a good master.

I have to say that this girl still has some brains. When Shuye was executed, Lin Rouyu not only did not plead for Shuye or save her, she even did not think of a way to bury her after her death.

Even if Shuye really did something wrong, as his master, she could pay a few taels of silver to find someone to bury him. If she insisted on doing so, she believed Xu Rui would not disagree. After all, there was no need for him to bother with a dead servant.

But Lin Rouyu actually let a personal maid who had been with her for more than ten years be left to die in the wilderness without any care, which shows how cold-hearted she is.

This girl saw what happened to the leaves and wanted to find another way out. She could understand that, but...

Jiang Xiyu understood Liu Ye, but she couldn't accept her. "You are not a maid in my Yonglin Marquis Mansion. I can't help you even if I want to."

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Liu Ye quickly explained, "This servant is not going to serve you, Madam. I want to take refuge with you, but I can still return to serve you. If you do anything to hurt you in the future, I will find a way to report it to you. I only ask that you keep me alive."

Jiang Xiyu was shocked when she heard Liu Ye's words and asked, "You want to be my insider by Lin Rouyu's side?"

Liu Ye nodded with a flushed face. "Yes, I don't ask to be by your side, Madam. I only ask that Madam can help me when I'm in trouble. I don't want to die like Ye Zi, or even die without a burial place."
