Chapter 102: Wolves in the Middle of the Night
When Lu Manzhi asked him for a divorce letter, he fell silent.
Lu Manzhi thought that he was unwilling to give her the divorce papers. At that time, Lu Manzhi was anxious and didn't seem to want to stay at all. She was also afraid that Su Xiuye would not give it, so she said something.
"Su Xiuye, that night when you were injured, you thought I saved you, but no, it was actually Yang Yanran who saved you."
Su Xiuye shuddered all over and said in disbelief, "You even brought up this matter just to get a divorce."
Lu Manzhi smiled faintly and said, "Su Xiuye, there's no need for me to lie to you. You were seriously injured that night, and it was Yanran who saved you. She was also the one who went out to find medicine for you. She didn't come back all night, and when she came back, she was caught by her stepmother and her men, and was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall."
"She was worried that your injuries were too severe and would delay your treatment, so she had to ask someone to find me. So I brought my maid to bring you medicine."
"Don't be fooled by her glamorous appearance. In fact, she has no status at home. Her stepmother can punish her whenever she gets the chance. She has no one to trust, so she can only come to me..."
"I didn't want to bother you at first, but I've been able to read people's expressions since I was a child. I knew there were patterns on the corners of your clothes, and that you were not ordinary. So when you woke up and saw me, I didn't say anything."
"If you still don't believe me, you can go and ask around. That villa was originally owned by Yang Yanran's mother, but it's now reduced to ashes."
"Yang Yanran has had a bad reputation since she was a child, and I'm the only one who plays with her. Even though she's the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor and doesn't have a good situation at home, she's very simple-minded, otherwise she wouldn't have been burned by such a fire."
They all knew about the fire that year.
Su Xiuye couldn't believe this fact, "Why, why did you say it now?"
"My family background was not good, so why wouldn't I marry into the Marquis's family? Besides, you didn't ask me, so I can't be considered to have lied to you."
Su Xiuye realized it belatedly and felt a pain in his heart, "Yanran treats you as a good friend, and you treat her like this?"
Lu Manzhi said calmly, "I never harmed her. I helped her a few times when her stepmother made things difficult for her. I was just being selfish."
"Su Xiuye, you don't have to blame me. The choice was still in your hands back then."
"Even if you think I saved you, and that this favor can actually be repaid with something else, you still chose me between me and Yanran. You also value reputation, the reputation of your mansion."
"You think I'm suitable to be the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion, suitable to be the future mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, but Yanran is not suitable, right?"
Su Xiuye was unable to answer Lu Manzhi's question.
He just felt pain in his heart.
Actually, it’s not like that.
At that time, he was carried back by a young girl with great difficulty. When the girl opened his clothes to bandage his wound, she jokingly said, "Look, I've suffered so much just to bandage your wound. How about you wake up and take responsibility for me? If you're not married yet, will you marry me?"
Although he couldn't speak at the time, he was conscious and agreed in his heart.
Su Xiuye wrote a divorce letter to Lu Manzhi on the spot.
Lu Manzhi left, and since that day, Su Xiuye didn't sleep for several days.
All I could think of was Yang Yanran from that year.
He fell ill on the way to exile and was awakened by the crying voices of his mother and Daya.
From then on, his heart was dead, and he lived only for the Su family.
But the moment he saw Yanran, he felt his heart come alive.
Yang Yanran was stunned. She didn't expect Lu Manzhi to claim the favor of saving her life.
But she didn't blame Lu Manzhi.
In the family, when she was in the most difficult times, Lu Manzhi helped her several times.
Yang Yanran said, "It's all in the past. There's no right or wrong. Let's forget about the things from our youth."
She had a very sharp temper when she was young, but she has changed a lot over the years.
Su Xiuye is tortured by guilt every day, how can he forget it.
"Su Xiuye, I don't blame you. You did nothing wrong. You were just doing what you wanted to do. To be honest, I did cause you trouble back then."
When she was pursuing Su Xiuye, she was very unreserved, bold and passionate, and she didn't think about whether it would cause trouble to others.
"No, no, Yanran, thank you for treating me so sincerely back then."
After experiencing the ups and downs of human nature, Su Xiuye realized that reputation is the most false thing, and that sincere and passionate feelings are the most precious.
After hearing this, Yang Yanran's tears began to fall.
Perhaps all the resentment and resentment were resolved because of this sentence.
When she did that, everyone talked about her behind her back, saying she was shameless.
How could she not know how to be reserved? Everyone in the Yang family also felt that she had brought shame to the family.
But at that time she just liked Su Xiuye, and she just wanted to do that.
But at this moment, she actually heard what Su Xiuye said. At least she was not completely wrong back then, right?
…
Shen Shaojing looked at his sister's indifferent expression and asked curiously: "Sister, what do you think they said?"
"No matter what, it's good to be able to explain some things and talk them out."
"Sister, Brother Su looks like he feels sorry for that woman. If he were still the son of a marquis, he would be able to do anything. But now that Brother Su is like this, it seems like he can't make amends even if he wants to."
Shen Yueyao said: "I believe that the Su family will return to its former glory and return to the capital."
"But now, it all depends on whether Su Xiuye is sincere. People who truly care about him don't care about his background or anything like that. They just care about whether he is sincere."
"Sister, I feel like you understand."
Shen Yueyao said: "It's not that I understand, it's that those involved are confused while those who are on the sidelines can see clearly. As bystanders, we can speculate and speak like this."
After a while, Su Xiuye came back, but his eyes were even redder.
He seemed to be trying his best to suppress his emotions. If he didn't, he would probably have cried.
"Brother, eat something first and get on the carriage to rest."
Shen Yueyao handed a bowl of porridge to Su Xiuye.
Su Xiuye couldn't eat anything at this time.
He had no appetite at all and felt mixed emotions.
Shen Yueyao knew that Su Xiuye couldn't eat, but with his physical condition, he definitely couldn't not eat.
Shen Yueyao said: "Brother, you also know our family's conditions. Food is very precious. We usually don't want to waste a drop. My fourth brother and I are already full. If you don't eat, it will really be a waste."
Su Xiuye could only take it and drink the porridge.
After resting for a while, they continued on their journey.
In the evening, they stopped to rest at the foot of a mountain.
Looking at the desolate wilderness and the dense forest behind, Shen Shaojing asked Shen Yueyao, "Sister, is there any danger here?"
Shen Shaojing now trusts his sister the most.
Shen Yueyao observed for a while and said, "Don't sleep too deeply when you go to bed."
Shen Yueyao couldn't tell whether there was any danger here.
Just be cautious.
However, they didn't expect that in the middle of the night, a group of wolves rushed down the mountain.
Even the people from the escort agency exclaimed, "Wolves, they are wolves, how could there be wolves here?"
