Austin looked at Ruan Tang in surprise, but he didn't expect Ruan Tang to say that.
He has always felt that Ruan Tang was soft-hearted. She always liked to sympathize with and help others even when she herself was in danger. To put it nicely, she was kind, but to put it bluntly, she was a softie who could be bullied by anyone.
She is a good person in the orthodox sense, with a saintly nature, which is different from his own.
Ruan Tang's strong confrontation with Owen just now made him see another side of Ruan Tang and refreshed his understanding of Ruan Tang, but it was still within the normal range.
It was not until Ruan Tang finished speaking that Auston suddenly realized that Ruan Tang might not be the same as he had imagined.
This made him even more interested in Ruan Tang.
"After all, a thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant hole. There are countless big figures in the world who eventually died at the hands of the little people they looked down upon..." Ruan Tang didn't know what Auston was thinking, she just said what she was thinking: "It can be seen that no matter whether you offend big or small people, it is not a good thing, because you never know when someone will stab you in the back without warning."
Ruan Tang had no idea what this madman was thinking, she just wanted to tell him about her experience as a normal person.
As an unpopular child who grew up in the most scheming aristocratic circle on the Imperial Star, Ruan Tang has experienced the fickleness of human nature since childhood. He believes that he is not a good person or a saint in the full sense of the word, but he just has a certain bottom line.
He had read a lot of historical records and knew that many famous people eventually died because of the hatred of small people. A certain emperor in history was even smothered to death by a servant while he was sleeping because he was too cruel. It was an extremely disgraceful death...
Because of this, Ruan Tang never offends or looks down on others, even if the other person is just an insignificant little person.
Being in the aristocratic circle, he knew very well that few of these big men had clean hands. He didn't care that Auston killed people, but he didn't want to see Auston deliberately torturing others without killing them...
Keeping a person you have tortured by your side, who hates you day and night, you never know when he will want to strike back and stab you.
Maybe the madman Auston enjoys this feeling.
But in Ruan Tang's opinion, this is the most unwise and suicidal behavior...
Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered, let alone a human. Today this person may be crushed by you, but you never know when he will accumulate strength and kill you in the future.
This is also the reason why Ruan Tang would stop Austin from torturing the servants in the mansion whenever he saw it.
Unless he was sure or wanted to kill that person, he would never deliberately humiliate others, nor would he stand by and watch others torture others to provoke hatred...
If the resentment is really deep, it can be wiped out by death.
Killing people is not enough, torturing others... is really unnecessary.
Auston didn't expect Ruan Tang to say that. He looked at him with more interest: "They humiliated you so much, why didn't I see you stab them?"
"How do you know, sir, that if you give me a chance, I won't put them to death in the future if I keep silent now?" Ruan Tang looked back at him calmly and asked.
He has never been a person who likes to put his hatred and thoughts on the surface.
If he hated someone, he would either not touch that person, or if he had the chance, he would strike that person right away...
Auston didn't expect to hear such words from Ruan Tang. His whole body was shocked. The strong sense of excitement made him feel numb all over as if he had seen Ruan Tang for the first time. As if he had been electrified, he could no longer suppress his laughter: "Hahahaha——"
Suddenly I felt that Ruan Tang became more and more interesting and so cute.
Ruan Tang: “…”
Ruan Tang couldn't understand what was so funny about this, and why Austin was laughing so happily, as if he had heard a joke. It can only be understood as Austin's madness coming back, which is not something a normal person can understand.
Anyway, he always has this tendency to act up from time to time.
"You...you are so cute, you are so cute. I like you, I really like you." Austin almost choked with laughter. He said Ruan Tang was cute several times and his favorability towards Ruan Tang increased many times.
Ruan Tang froze on the spot: "..."
Faced with such words of love from Auston, he really couldn't understand it as true love, and felt shy, and could only think that Auston was smoking.
I'm afraid my plan to have a good talk with him today will not work.
"So, what do you want to tell me by saying all this?" After a long while, Austin suddenly became normal again, stopped laughing, and asked Ruan Tang directly.
In this imperial planet, everyone wears a mask on their face and lives their life as a fake.
Austin was no longer surprised. He also wore a mask. He just didn't know why Ruan Tang took off the mask in front of him.
Ruan Tang looked at Austin like this, not knowing whether he was really normal or just pretending to be normal. But after hesitating for a moment, he felt that the conversation had come to this point, so he decided to speak his heartfelt words: "I just want to advise you, sir, to forgive others when you can, and not to overdo anything. If you don't like someone, just send him away. There is really no need to torture him."
"There are already enough people in the Imperial Star who want to stab you, my Lord. You wouldn't want me to do it any further. I hope the number continues to grow exponentially..." He didn't know if Austin could listen to him, but he just wanted to say it.
Having grown up in this circle, Ruan Tang believed that he had a keen political sense. As one of the seven dukes, Austin had done countless dirty things for the emperor and had offended many people, and had already provoked enough hatred.
Although the Queen has managed to persuade the Emperor to make Austin's child the next crown prince, the Emperor does not think so in his heart. The person sitting on the throne is only thinking about helping Lady Samantha's son to the throne. Austin, his notorious eldest son born to the Queen, has long been a thorn in the Emperor's side, and he can't wait to get rid of him.
The current situation is delicate, and Austin's situation is already dangerous enough. As long as the emperor sends a signal, countless people who hate him will rush up and want to tear him apart.
If Austin doesn't keep a low profile and restrain himself for now, or he offends others again, he will be exposing his fatal weakness to them.
When the time comes, if the emperor wants to deal with him, he won't even need to bother looking for evidence...
Ruan Tang had not planned to talk about these things with Austin before, nor did she want to get herself involved by persuading him and lose more than she gained. She just wanted to live her own life well.
But after the marriage, the Duke, who was said to be cruel and brutal by others, actually treated him well...
Ruan Tang didn't want to see him being muddle-headed and madly courting his own death, so he wanted to tell Auston whether he could hear it or not.
Austin didn't expect Ruan Tang to say that. He was stunned on the spot and looked at Ruan Tang with a prying eye.
But Ruan Tang responded with a straightforward and clear look...
"Are you worried about me?" Austin looked at him for a long time, then asked in confusion, not quite sure.
He was not a fool, he could understand the meaning of Ruan Tang's words and the content of her eyes, but even though he understood, he didn't understand it anymore.
Because of his status and position, there are countless people around him who want to use him and rely on him to achieve certain goals.
While these people were using him, they also wished he would die because of his cruelty and terror...
Auston knew all this.
Ruan Tang, the wife forced upon him by the Queen, was different from all of them. Her eyes were filled with clarity, and she was non-competitive and selfless. She was even overly kind-hearted at times, like a soft bun.
But he thought that Ruan Tang should wish him death just like everyone else.
After all, he was a hateful and disabled person. No matter how much Ruan Tang said she sympathized with him, a normal Omega would never consider an Alpha like him as a good match.
It’s just that Ruan Tang wouldn’t show it as obviously as other people.
Auston had always understood it this way. He couldn't understand Ruan Tang, and he was too lazy to explore. He just followed his heart and was willing to pamper him...
But he didn't expect that Ruan Tang, who had never passed on any biased words to try to influence him, tried to influence him for the first time, not for any purpose or reason, but purely out of worry about him...
This made Auston suddenly confused?
Why?
"Of course." Ruan Tang gave an affirmative answer to this question without thinking.
Auston looked at him puzzled, asking, "Why?"
He couldn't understand why Ruan Tang was worried about him, and why she had to wade into this muddy water to persuade him...
"Because you are my husband." Ruan Tang had no idea how to answer this question, so she had to use a formula: "We are partners in the legal sense, and we will naturally rise and fall together."
He is not pretentious or sentimental, and even his words sound stiff.
When Auston heard what he said, he couldn't help laughing as if he heard a joke: "Haha, I'm your husband, we're partners in the legal sense, so we'll rise and fall together, right?"
Ruan Tang: “…”
Faced with such a person who went crazy from time to time, he really didn't know how to communicate.
"Aren't you the one sent by my good mother? I think that even if I die, it won't have much impact on you..." Only after Auston had laughed enough did he suddenly speak.
Since Ruan Tang wanted to be frank with him, he didn't mind being honest with Ruan Tang.
No one knows a mother better than her son. Although Austin often falls ill, he is actually very lucid. He knows very well what his good mother will promise to Ruan Tang.
Even if he died immediately, his good mother would get his sperm, make Ruan Tang pregnant, say it was a posthumous child, and let the so-called "crown prince" be born.
It's just that he won't give them this opportunity.
Regardless of whether Ruan Tang chooses to be a tool of his mother or tries to continue avoiding fights and live a life without fighting or competing, with his good attitude, his life or death will have little impact on him.
He wouldn't believe his lies.
Ruan Tang looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that Duke Austin, who had been working himself to death, actually had some intelligence.
Although he was crazy, it did not affect his clarity at all.
Ruan Tang was stunned for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that he was talking to a smart person, which was much better than talking to a real lunatic.
He sighed and said, "Since Your Excellency knows about the Queen... then you should also know that I don't have such great ambitions to be the Queen's pawn. Therefore, compared to being the Queen's lackey, My Excellency is alive, and my life with Your Excellency is much better than being trapped in the vortex around the Queen..."
The hover car is an unmanned enclosed space, and Austin spoke the truth.
Therefore, Ruan Tang was not worried about being overheard and spoke her true feelings.
"After all, since we got married, Master has always been very nice to me..." Ruan Tang said bluntly: "I hope Master can always be well."
It's sad to say that, after growing up, Auston, the crazy husband who was forced upon him, turned out to be the best person to him.
Before they got married, he didn't care about whether Auston would live or die after they got married. But after they got married and lived together, he hoped that Auston could live well...
After all, as long as Austin was alive, Ruan Tang felt that the current life was quite good. If he died... with the strong pressure from the Queen and the Ruan family, Ruan Tang really didn't know what her life would be like...
He really didn't want to continue being a rootless duckweed at the mercy of others.
Auston looked at him deeply, quite moved.
"So, my lord, just rest assured..." Ruan Tang said word by word, "As long as you are alive, no matter what the queen wants me to do in the future, I will stand by your side."
If Auston wasn't crazy, he wouldn't be able to fight the Queen...
But the powerful Duke Austin does.
Austin looked at Ruan Tang quietly for a long time without saying anything.
The two of them were silent for so long that Ruan Tang thought he would not speak again, but Auston suddenly spoke: "They... no matter if it was those just now or those in the mansion, don't think they look pitiful. In fact, they are very dirty and vicious at heart, and they are very thoughtful. They can endure it, and they will not rush to attack me just because of such a small humiliation. It's not the time yet..."
"Don't worry, I know my limits. I won't push them to the point of a fight to the death with me." To be able to get by with hypocrisy and flattery until today, Austin has always been clear-headed and has a standard in his mind, so he won't be stupid enough to kill himself.
Ruan Tang was stunned, and for a moment he didn't understand why Austin said this to him.
It took him a while to realize that Auston was telling him that he was actually mad in moderation and would not kill himself, so he could rest assured.
I don’t know if he was just bragging?
So, the notorious Duke Bluebeard was not actually a madman, but was just pretending to be crazy?
Ruan Tang looked at Austin quietly, trying to find out something from his face, but she couldn't see anything clearly through the mask.
