Chapter 234: The Heroine Whose Luck Was Taken Away
"My humble daughter greets the Emperor..." Ye Ruoxing bowed politely.
Jiang Wuchen raised his eyes to look at her, stretched out his hand and beckoned her over. Ye Ruoxing stood up, walked in front of Jiang Wuchen, and bowed again, looking obedient.
Jiang Wuchen looked at her pretending to be well-behaved and smiled. Suddenly, he asked her in a low voice, "Ms. Ye, how long do you plan to keep pretending?"
She was not as obedient as she seemed. He was not stupid. Something was always happening around her. This alone proved that she was not as innocent as he thought.
Ye Ruoxing's eyes instantly turned red, like a little rabbit, and she looked extremely pitiful, but she forced herself not to let her tears fall, sneering, "If the emperor's uncle wants to blame me, I have nothing to say. However, if the emperor's uncle had investigated more, he would have known what kind of life I have been leading these years. I am the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, and being bullied by an adopted daughter is one thing. However, at her instigation, my family actually sent me directly to the farm. Emperor's uncle, look at my face. A weak woman abandoned by her family, with such a face, what will happen to me on the farm? I am afraid that the emperor's uncle can imagine it."
As she spoke, her fingers trembled as she touched the injured area. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "I got scratched here on my first day at the manor. It was originally an extremely ugly scar, like a centipede. I had to wear a veil almost all the time for the past few years. But later, General Chen took pity on me and gave me some medicine, and my face has finally healed."
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Wuchen again. Unlike before, this time her eyes were no longer filled with humility, but rather with determination. She asked, "Uncle, do you think I would still be standing here if I didn't do something? I don't ask for much, I just want to survive."
Something in Jiang Wuchen's heart was touched, and the Buddhist beads in his palm felt very uncomfortable. He didn't really like to be accompanied by the ancient Buddha for his whole life. He just wanted to dispel the emperor's suspicion, so he pretended to be devoted to Buddhism.
Everyone would feel relieved that he had no descendants. After all, a monk posed no threat to the throne.
But in fact, he also longed to have a child of his own, and he would like it no matter whether it was a boy or a girl.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but empathize with Ye Ruoxing, and the initial estrangement from her also disappeared.
"You and your comrade Shu Huan..."
He stopped at the point. In fact, he had already regretted asking the question. He seemed abrupt. In fact, what relationship Chen Shuhuan had with her seemed to have nothing to do with him.
A cunning smile appeared on Ye Ruoxing's lips. The fish was biting the hook. She thought for a moment before speaking, "General Chen and I have known each other since childhood, so we are familiar with each other."
This sounded like an explanation but not an explanation. The key point he wanted to know was not stated: brother, what kind of brother is he.
Jiang Wuchen hummed, then spoke, "Jiang Yuan has been spoiled since she was little, and is a bit spoiled. This isn't a habit a princess should have. She offended you today, and I hope Miss Ye won't treat her like a child."
child?
Ye Ruoxing found it funny. In terms of age, she was not even older than Jiang Yuan, so how could Jiang Yuan be a child?
The emperor's uncle's protection of his own people is so obvious.
But who says they are relatives? Ye Ruoxing smiled faintly, and then said, "I dare not. The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, a body of a thousand gold. Ruoxing is just an ordinary girl. How dare I bear grudges against the princess? Uncle, don't worry. What's more, I am just an ant. Even if I have any thoughts in my heart, I think it will not have any impact on the princess."
Seeing her say this in a self-deprecating tone, Jiang Wuchen felt that she seemed to have misunderstood something. He didn't want to protect Jiang Yuan, but just hoped that she could relax and not be depressed.
Forget it, let’s call it a day.
Jiang Wuchen turned his back to Ye Ruoxing and looked into the distance. "I will investigate what you said today, but just one thing: you should be more thoughtful in your future actions. If you act solely on your emotions, you might not be able to do it, or even achieve the opposite effect."
Ye Ruoxing looked at Jiang Wuchen's back, so, was he giving her some advice?
In other words, he was concerned about her. Ye Ruoxing raised the corners of her mouth. It seemed that she had to find time to poke a hole in this window paper.
Chen Shuhuan had been waiting there. When he saw the young eunuch bring Ye Ruoxing back, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward to greet her.
Seeing that Ye Ruoxing was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed respectfully to the eunuch, "Thank you for seeing me off. This little token of my appreciation is like inviting you to have some tea."
As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds from his waist and handed them to his father-in-law.
Chen Shuhuan did not bring Ye Ruoxing back to the table. He took Ye Ruoxing out and went straight to the gate of Xu's house.
Just when he was waiting for Ye Ruoxing, he had already sent a message to Old Lady Wu in advance, asking her to wait at the door and he would send Ye Ruoxing over later.
Old Lady Wu was a smart person. She saw the whole situation, including the emperor's favor for Ye Ruoxing.
She knew that the palace was not a good place. She only had this one precious granddaughter, and she definitely couldn't bear to send her to that cannibalistic place.
So, after receiving the message from Chen Shuhuan, she immediately found a reason to resign from the Xu family, and rushed to the door of the Xu family with a group of maids and servants to wait for Ye Ruoxing.
On the way, Ye Ruoxing realized that this was not the way back to the banquet, but she did not ask any more questions. She knew very well that Chen Shuhuan would never hurt her no matter what.
Arriving at the gate of the Xu residence, Mrs. Wu saw her granddaughter and hurried forward to greet her. Seeing that she was safe and sound, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chen Shuhuan, "My son, thank you for protecting our Ruoxing today. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid our Ruoxing would have suffered a lot. I will definitely hold a banquet at home someday to thank you."
Chen Shuhuan first glanced at Ye Ruoxing, and seeing that she was also looking at him, his face immediately flushed. He bowed humbly and said, "This is what a junior should do. What's more, I am very happy to be able to help Ruoxing."
He had been fighting outside before, and although he wanted to gain fame and honor and come back to marry her, he was neglected and no one took care of him. Chen Shuhuan felt very guilty.
Ye Ruoxing also smiled. She was moved by the boy's sincerity. If it weren't for the system's task, Chen Shuhuan would have been a really good man.
She didn't know at the moment that a storm was waiting for her at the Ye family.
