Zhao Yuexi lowered her head.

Her injuries had not yet fully healed. Although her legs were fine, the wounds on her hands would take a long time to heal. After narrowly escaping death, Zhao Yuexi became less talkative. In fact, she thought she was just waiting to die, but she didn't expect that she would wake up in a restaurant owned by Jiang Ruohua.

When she returned to the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Ruohua told her that people outside thought she was dead.

She was cleverly replaced by a corpse thrown out from the land of fireworks.

Thinking about it, she became more and more ashamed.

She really had no face to live in this world, but now she was shamelessly trying to survive for a few more days.

"Go back." Jiang Ruohua called her.

"Junior sister!"

King Yun seemed very angry after hearing this, and was puzzled: "Junior sister, what on earth are you going to do?"

"As brother can see, I hid her and I want to protect her."

Jiang Ruohua put the food box on the table. Since it had been discovered, there was no point in hiding it.

"I only remember that my junior sister used to be enemies with her." King Yun frowned, "Now my junior sister said she would protect her. I have also heard about her past."

Jiang Ruohua couldn't help but frown after hearing this: "Since my senior brother remembers that I had a feud with her, he should know where this feud started and who caused it. Who wants to make enemies with others if they don't have to?"

"Then you can forget your hatred? When I first met my junior sister, her persistence has always left a deep impression on me." King Yun couldn't figure it out. He didn't think Jiang Ruohua could easily let go of her hatred for her enemies. "Even if some things were not her original intention, there was no room for regret when she did it. When she assassinated you, and there were all kinds of things she did to you in the past, just saying that she had to do it can't be a reason to be forgiven."

"No."

Jiang Ruohua smiled, but she was even more unwilling to fight like this forever and endlessly: "Brother, with my current strength, there are a thousand ways to make her live a life worse than death, but after she is dealt with, who knows if there will be a next one? Will the next one have a better background and better means than her?"

"This may not affect me, but it will take up a lot of my time. If I make a mistake, I will lose everything. After winning, there is no benefit for me. In the fight between two people, others will benefit from it. This is what I can't tolerate the most."

"I know that you treat me well, and you are willing to stand up for me and be my helper, but this is meaningless. It's like there shouldn't be any grudges between her and me, but we are forced to provoke disputes. I used to be a general to block the enemy, but winning or losing is just as I said, but there are only two answers: bad and worse. In this case, why can't we let go of the grudges

and prejudices?" "Some people deliberately don't want to see me stay out of trouble. No matter how I try to stop them, it will be useless. What's more, if I win, I will still be making wedding clothes for others. If it was my senior brother, would he be willing to make wedding clothes for others?"

"Since we have to fight back, the enemy is naturally the guy who wants to reap the benefits. Why does he think I should be willing to be his stepping stone?"

"Fighting with Zhao Yuexi, no matter how I win, for me it's just a matter of keeping myself safe. But there are still people who refuse to give up. I have the strength to fight the person behind the scenes. So why should I waste my meaningless time with Zhao Yuexi? What's more, we both have no choice?"

"I understand the grudges that you are talking about, but I think the world is ridiculous now. You and I, who are capable, are forced to protect ourselves. There must be more people in the world who can't even keep themselves safe, let alone help the world?"

"Zhao Yuexi is just one of the tens of thousands of people who can't do it. Everything she has to do is indeed pitiful, but I am different from her. The means I have accumulated so far are enough for me to do many things. Can I just keep myself out of trouble?"

"Isn't this a waste? It will give those with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of it. Moreover, my cooperation with my senior brother also means my loyalty. But if the superiors are not willing to help the world and care about the people, then what is the use of my efforts?"

"Senior brother, don't let me down."

King Yun was stunned when he heard it. He never thought that one day he would be shocked by the vision of others, or perhaps he never thought that the woman next to him would have such thoughts.

She is not ordinary after all.

The matter of Zhao Yuexi just passed like this, and no one mentioned it again. No one in the Duke's Mansion knew Zhao Yuexi, and they just assumed that she was a girl rescued by Jiang Ruohua.

Although her injuries were almost healed, she still looked unhappy. She often cooked for the Jiang family. At this time, she always seemed to be working extra hard, but she seemed to be deliberately avoiding something, which made her look a little sneaky.

"

Junior sister." Hu Xingxing came to Jiang Ruohua and whispered to her seriously: "The girl you picked up, is she that kind of woman? You have to be careful, or you take her in with good intentions, but she will become your stepmother in the end." Jiang

Ruohua:...

"It's okay, don't think too much." Jiang Ruohua was a little helpless, but she could probably guess what the situation was.

"I'm serious." Hu Xingxing became anxious after hearing her perfunctory response, "She looks restless. You really were brought up in a spoiled way. You haven't seen that kind of woman out there. She'll stick to a man even though she knows he's married, just to break him up! Many men fall for her tricks!"

Jiang Ruhua felt helpless after hearing this: "I know. I'll pay attention."

But the real situation was probably different from what Hu Xingxing said, and it just wouldn't make sense to Hu Xingxing.

When Hu Xingxing went out, she happened to meet Zhao Yuexi coming over. Hu Xingxing glared at her immediately and said with gritted teeth: "My junior sister took you in out of kindness, please don't be ungrateful."

"I didn't..." Zhao Yuexi was suddenly accused and felt a little aggrieved. Tears welled up in her eyes immediately...

"Stop pretending." But in Hu Xingxing's view, this was the trick that a vixen-like woman would use most. Shedding tears made people feel pity for her. "No one will sympathize with you if you cry here. Don't use this trick. Who are you trying to seduce?"

A few unpleasant words were cursed at her head, and Zhao Yuexi felt very aggrieved. But they were in someone else's house. She didn't want to cause trouble, but she couldn't stop her tears. She flowed silently with grievance and kept her mouth shut, not daring to argue with Hu Xingxing.

Jiang Ruohua felt a headache after listening to all this, and immediately sent Hua Chan out: "Find an excuse to separate the two of them."

Zhao Yuexi came in with red eyes and a food box in her hand.
