Yan Yunshu was shocked.
She looked at Xu Jingye, who had become much thinner and more haggard, and could hardly believe her eyes.
The urgency and expectation in that look were something she had never seen in Xu Jingye's eyes before.
She looked at the family members standing behind Xu Jingye.
They all frowned and looked at the two of them with great vigilance and caution.
Yan Yunshu tried hard to calm herself down and bowed to Xu Jingye.
He said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Highness."
A deep sense of disappointment flashed across the eyes of His Highness Xu Jingye. He took a step forward, wanting to hold her hands as she saluted.
But just as she stepped forward, Yan Yunshu took a big step back in fear.
Then he lowered his head, maintaining a salute posture.
Xu Jingye's eyes were filled with even greater disappointment, and he could only respond with a "no thanks".
Yan Yunshu just raised her face. Her face was stunningly beautiful and pretty under the snow-white scarf. Xu Jingye was lost in thought just like that.
He never knew that his real savior, the sinister, vicious, and ugly woman who was poisoned to death by him in his previous life, could actually be so incomparably beautiful.
It was as if it was the first time that I looked at the person in front of me so clearly.
He greedily didn't miss any second that his eyes stayed on her face.
Yan Yunshu felt very uncomfortable being stared at, so she walked around Xu Jingye and came to her grandfather.
"Grandfather, have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet, not yet."
"Grandfather, why are you waiting for me? Xu Jinghuai said yesterday that he would treat me to breakfast today. I should be waiting at the gate of the mansion by now."
In fact, Xu Jinghuai did not say this. He only said that he would pick her up after breakfast. After all, today was not a day off, so he could not sit and accompany her in Caiyunfang like he did yesterday, but he could take her to Tianze's training ground to have a look.
But my grandfather saw how eager Yan Yunshu was to escape from this place and nodded repeatedly.
"Look, I'm old and confused. I actually forgot about this. Go, go!"
After getting the consent, Yan Yunshu was about to run away.
But Xu Jingye, who had caught up with him, grabbed his arm.
Yan Yunshu felt her heart pounding with fear. She used up all her strength to shake off Xu Jingye's hand, "Don't touch me!"
Hearing Yan Yunshu's loud shout, Xu Jingye was stunned.
He looked at Yan Yunshu, his eyes filled with thousands of words.
"Yan Yunshu, I have something to tell you!"
Yan Yunshu restrained herself and bowed to Xu Jingye, saying coldly, "Your Highness, the Second Prince is still waiting for me!"
"Did you read yesterday's letter?"
Yan Yunshu's face froze and she shook her head.
"Not yet."
"Why don't you look?" Xu Jingye's tone became anxious.
Yan Yunshu took a step back, always maintaining a saluting posture.
"Your Highness, I don't have time to read it."
"Yan Yunshu!"
"Your Highness, I am leaving."
After Yan Yunshu finished speaking, she didn't care whether she had Xu Jingye's consent or not, and she grabbed one side of the cloak with one hand and ran away with big strides.
I only heard Xu Jingye shouting behind me, "I know everything! I know everything! I'm sorry, I'm sorry Shu'er, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
The sound gradually faded away.
Yan Yunshu also slowed down her pace.
She looked at the wintersweet tree not far away with a cold gaze.
Xu Jingye, you killed me and hurt me. Your hands are covered with my blood and the blood of my grandfather. Is a simple "I'm sorry" enough?
Who do you think you are!
Among all these people, who should listen to you?
Yan Yunshu walked towards the gate of the Marquis' Mansion step by step.
The gate of the mansion opened.
Xu Jinghuai was indeed standing in the middle of the mansion gate, looking at her with a pair of eyes that were extremely cold, yet full of tenderness.
"Yan Yunshu."
Yan Yunshu threw herself into Xu Jinghuai's arms.
Xu Jinghuai hugged her gently.
Suddenly, Xu Jinghuai's body stiffened violently.
Yan Yunshu looked up and looked at Xu Jinghuai in confusion.
Seeing Xu Jinghuai staring intently behind her, she turned around.
He actually saw Xu Jingye, whose eyes were red and full of murderous intent, looking at Xu Jinghuai.
The two brothers looked at each other, as if a bloody battle was going on silently.
"Xu Jinghuai!"
"Xu Jingye!"
"Why are you here?"
"You are here indeed!"
…
After a moment of silence, Xu Jinghuai held Yan Yunshu in one hand and said with the other, "Xu Jingye, why are you not staying at your Prince Ye's Mansion and confined to it? Why are you running to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion? It seems that the words of the emperor father can no longer be counted, right?"
"Xu Jinghuai!" Xu Jingye clenched his fists, looking at the hand that was holding Yan Yunshu, his whole body trembling, "Put your hand down!"
Xu Jinghuai's eyes suddenly became colder.
"Who are you? What qualifications do you have to say that?"
"She doesn't have you in her heart, only me! Shu'er is mine! She can only be mine!"
"Hmph...Xu Jingye, you've lost your mind. Not long ago, you and your former future princess consort Yan Shuyao, whose soul has disappeared somewhere unknown, conspired to ruin Yan Yunshu's reputation. Now you're shouting that she only has you in her heart?"
Xu Jingye's face flushed crimson, and he spoke hoarsely to Yan Yunshu, "Shu'er! I was wrong! I've been deceived for too long, and now I've finally come to my senses! Will you forgive me? Please?"
Yan Yunshu said coldly.
"What do you mean by being deceived for too long, and what do you mean by completely awakening? Xu Jingye, you may have been deceived before, but if it weren't for Yan Shuyao, you would have killed me just as cruelly for what you wanted in your heart!"
"No! No! Shu'er, forgive me!"
