After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 174 Is he crazy?

After all, even if some disguise technique was used, the voice could not be imitated so closely.

When Lin Rouyu heard Xu Rui's voice, she turned pale with fright and staggered.

It’s really Xu Rui, how could it be Xu Rui?

Zheng recognized Xu Rui's voice and walked forward excitedly. She took Xu Rui's hand and looked around. When she saw the scar on the back of his hand, she was still a little unconvinced. She turned his face and saw the small red mole behind his ear. Only then did Zheng confirm that it was really Xu Rui who came back.

"Rui'er, it's really you. Didn't you go to the northern border to suppress bandits? Why are you back suddenly?"

Zheng asked what everyone present was thinking.

Xu Rui was very angry about what Zheng did today and took two steps back.

"Deji sent a message saying that Xi'er was sick. I was worried about Xi'er, so I secretly returned to Kyoto last night." Xu Rui explained simply.

When Lin Rouyu heard that Xu Rui had secretly returned to Beijing because Jiang Xiyu was seriously ill, she became so angry that her face turned dark, and endless bitterness rushed to her heart.

Is he crazy?

He actually dared to disobey the imperial order for Jiang Xiyu. If others knew that he had returned to Beijing without permission, he would be beheaded.

For Jiang Xiyu, he even gave up his life.

Jiang Xiyu glanced at Xu Rui and was also surprised.

I didn't expect him to say such a thing in public.

When Zheng Shi heard Xu Rui say that he had returned last night, her expression changed slightly. "So, the person last night was you?"

Xu Rui pretended not to understand and frowned, "Who? I was at Jingyu Garden the whole night. Where did my mother meet me?"

A seemingly puzzled sentence completely dispelled Zheng's doubts.

It turns out that it was Xu Rui who was in Jiang Xiyu's room last night. No wonder Deji rushed over with so many guards.

He couldn't help but turn around and glare at Deji.

Xu Rui clearly came back last night, but he didn't tell her at all, which made her look so embarrassed today.

Deji was confused and didn't know what Zheng meant, but he still lowered his head.

Xu Rui glanced at her and Lin Rouyu, frowning and saying, "Mother, why are you not sleeping so late at night?"

No one knows a child better than his mother. Zheng Shi could tell Xu Rui was angry and quickly put the blame on Lin Rouyu. "Miss Lin heard from somewhere that someone was hiding in Jiang Shi's room. I was worried, so I brought people to check it out."

Lin Rouyu didn't expect Zheng to be so shameless. Her face turned pale. Seeing the coldness emanating from Xu Rui, she quickly explained, "Brother Rui, Rou'er was just worried about my sister's danger, so she asked the old lady to come and see my sister."

Xu Rui looked at her coldly and exposed her directly, "I heard everything just now. Miss Lin seems to be very interested in our affairs. You are still unmarried, so it is better not to be so keen on catching an adulterer. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, they might think Miss Lin has some bad habits, which is not good for her reputation."

Xu Rui's words made Lin Rouyu feel more uncomfortable than if he had stabbed her twice.

Especially since Xu Rui always protected Jiang Xiyu, Lin Rouyu was jealous to the point of going crazy.

Lin Rouyu took a deep breath, suppressed the crazy jealousy in her heart, and said to Xu Ruifu, "Rou'er misunderstood. Rou'er will take her leave."

Lin Rouyu turned around and was about to leave, but Xu Rui had no intention of letting her go so easily. "Since Miss Lin has misunderstood my wife and hasn't even apologized, is she going to leave?"

Lin Rouyu's body suddenly froze, her hands clenched into fists. After a while, she turned around and bowed to Jiang Xiyu, "I'm sorry, Rouer misunderstood me. Please forgive me."

Jiang Xiyu glanced at her coldly and said, "Since the Lin family has done a favor for the Marquis, I can let these things go. But Miss Lin, please be careful. Even if you are repaying a favor, the favor will eventually run out."

Jiang Xiyu's words "repaying a favor" instantly made everyone look at Lin Rouyu with contempt.

Lin Rouyu was also too much. Even though Lin Songwen saved Xu Rui's life, Xu Rui had been looking for doctors to treat her in order to repay his kindness. However, Lin Rouyu was not at peace in the Marquis' Mansion and repeatedly provoked the relationship between Xu Rui and Jiang Xiyu. She had always tried to call Xu Rui away from Jiang Xiyu in the past, and this time she was even more excessive. While Xu Rui was not in the mansion, she directly called Zheng to catch them in adultery.

Fortunately, Xu Rui came back secretly. If Xu Rui hadn't come tonight, Jiang Xiyu would have been caught by Zheng without any reason and thrown into a pig cage.

The wolf's ambition is really vicious.

Feeling the contemptuous looks from everyone, Lin Rouyu was filled with shame and anger. She looked at Xu Rui again and saw that he didn't seem to want to speak for her at all.

Being questioned by everyone, Lin Rouyu felt extremely wronged, but she could do nothing and could only swallow her anger for the time being.

After swallowing all her resentment, Lin Rouyu turned and left without saying another word.

Looking at Lin Rouyu's back, Xu Rui's deep pupils narrowed slightly.

This woman really had bad intentions. He knew that keeping her would be a disaster, but for the military power in Lin Songwen's hands, he now had to keep her in the mansion.

Just as Xu Rui was stunned, Zheng seemed to suddenly think of something and grabbed Xu Rui. "Rui'er, you're back just in time. Come with me to see Rong'er. Last time I took people to the Zhou family to see Rong'er, Zhou Lai and Zhou Qin refused to let me see Rong'er. I'm worried that something happened to Rong'er at the Zhou family."

Ever since she didn't see Xu Rong at Zhou's house last time, Zheng has been unable to eat or sleep for the past few days.

When Xu Rong was mentioned, Xu Rui became angry. "If they don't let you see her, why don't you report her to the police? Why are you looking for me?"

Seeing Xu Rui's indifference, Zheng's heart sank instantly. She angrily said, "Xu Rui, it was you who insisted Rong'er marry into the Zhou family. Now Rong'er is in trouble in the Zhou family, and you don't care at all. This is how you act as a brother."

Seeing that she was still angry, Xu Rui also became angry. "You need to understand the situation. I should be on my way to the northern border right now. I sneaked back and was already disobeying the order. And you still want me to go to the Zhou family. You are worried that the Zhou family can't find any evidence against us and can't kill everyone in our Yonglin Marquis Mansion, right?"

Xu Rui's angry words made Zheng slightly startled.

She certainly didn't want others to know that Xu Rui had secretly returned to Kyoto in defiance of the imperial decree, but whenever she thought of Xu Rong's situation, she became extremely anxious. "Since you can defy the imperial decree for the Jiang family, why can't you find a way to save your sister?"

Xu Rui didn't care about Xu Rong, but he knew that there was no benefit in continuing to talk to Zheng like this, so he slowed down his tone.

"Don't overthink it. It's just that you didn't see her once. Just go again tomorrow. If they don't let you see her, just bring someone from Shuntian Prefecture with you. I don't believe they can prevent you and your daughter from meeting. Besides, the Zhou family doesn't have the guts to harm Xu Rong's life."
