Chapter 74: It would be better if the wild man didn’t come!
Xie Yan was so angry about the "wild man" who seduced Ruan Yunsheng at some point that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well all night.
The next morning.
Mo Ying came back from outside, shouting before even entering the house: "It's bad, Your Highness! It's bad, Your Highness!"
Doctor Xue was carrying medicine into the room and was almost knocked over by him.
He hurriedly protected the medicine bowl, puffed his beard and glared, saying: "The prince is fine, can you speak, kid?"
Mo Ying didn't have time to explain. He ran past him and into the room, saying urgently, "Your Highness, the princess took a carriage to the Awakening Tower. She must be looking for you!"
Xie Yan was stunned. Wasn’t Shengsheng going to meet that “wild man” outside today?
How did you get to Xingshilou?
Could it be that he wanted to find out about Fourth Brother Ruan Yunzhu?
He didn't care about that and immediately said, "Bring me my clothes."
Doctor Xue came in with a bowl of medicine. When he heard Xie Yan was about to leave, he quickly advised, "Your Highness, although you didn't get a real beating, you've just recovered from your cold, and the injuries on your shoulder and forehead haven't healed yet... You should rest well for a few days!"
While Xie Yan instructed Mo Ying to get him clothes and a mask, he said nonchalantly, "The King is fine."
If Shengsheng comes to find him, he will have to crawl over there even if he has to.
Doctor Xue had no choice but to say, "Then please at least take the medicine."
Xie Yan drank the medicine in one breath, changed his clothes and ran to Xingshi Building.
After arriving at the Xingshi Building, in the private room on the third floor, Shengsheng was indeed looking for him.
Xie Yan's voice was hoarse: "Princess, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Ruan Yunsheng nodded and was about to speak when she smelled the smell of medicine on him.
"Are you hurt again?"
Xie Yan hummed, "I got a minor injury while on a mission, it's nothing serious."
Ruan Yunsheng frowned, "Your line of work is too dangerous. Have you ever thought about changing it?"
Xie Yan sighed: "Besides killing people, I can't do anything else."
Ruan Yunsheng added, "You can't be a killer your whole life. Don't you ever plan to start a family?"
Xie Yan didn't quite understand what she meant, so he said cautiously, "I'm not planning that far ahead. Let's just take it one step at a time."
Ruan Yunsheng asked, "Do you have someone you like?"
Xie Yan subconsciously wanted to nod, but remembering that his current identity was Chuwu, he quickly shook his head, "No!"
Ruan Yunsheng asked again, "Really?"
Xie Yan nodded, "Really not. Princess, you know I live a precarious life, on the edge of a knife, so how could I have the time to think about such things?"
Ruan Yunsheng was relieved, "Then you can be my county horse."
Xie Yan was suddenly stunned.
He suspected that the bowl of medicine Dr. Xue gave him before he left was poisonous, otherwise, how could he have hallucinations?
Shengsheng said... let him be the county lord?
The wild man turned out to be himself?
Xie Yan suspected that he had misheard and asked cautiously, "Could you please repeat what you just said, Princess?"
Ruan Yunsheng repeated: "County Ma, means to be my son-in-law."
"It just so happens that you don't know what to do, and this princess doesn't need you to do anything. Just stay in the backyard and be obedient."
She never thought that Chuwu would refuse. Chuwu would never refuse any of her requests, no matter how outrageous they were.
Xie Yan's Adam's apple rolled heavily, and he felt dizzy, as if he was walking on clouds.
Shengsheng...does she like him?
Otherwise, why would she let him marry into the family and become a princess?
However, Shengsheng wanted "Chuwu" to be her prince consort, not Xie Yan.
But since she is looking for Chuwu, she must like Chuwu a little, right?
When he thought of this possibility, excitement appeared in Xie Yan's eyes and his fingers trembled with excitement.
If Shengsheng really likes Chuwu, then he wouldn't be King Xuan Xie Yan!
Anyway, everyone knew that King Xuan had just been beaten with fifty sticks and died of his injuries, which was a very normal thing.
He was about to agree immediately, but then he remembered that Chuwu had been disfigured.
Since she was a child, Shengsheng has only liked things that are gorgeous and beautiful in appearance. Why does she like Chuwu?
Thinking of this, Xie Yan became uncertain again.
He said hoarsely, "Princess, I... I am disfigured and cannot face others."
Ruan Yunsheng said indifferently, "You don't need to see anyone. Just think of it as a job. Just stay in the backyard and don't cause any trouble for me. I'll give you money every month, and after two or three years, I'll let you go."
Xie Yan's heart, which was so excited that it was about to jump out of his chest, slowly fell.
He laughed at himself. What was he thinking? He actually thought Shengsheng would like him...
Shengsheng doesn't like Chuwu, she just wants to use this as a shield to avoid the emperor granting her another marriage.
Even if it means being a shield, he is willing to do so.
But Chuwu does not exist at all. He may appear occasionally, but it is impossible for him to stay in the Marquis' Mansion as Chuwu all the time.
Xie Yan moved his lips, "Princess, I..."
Ruan Yunsheng noticed his hesitation and frowned, "You can't accept the identity of a son-in-law? Do you think this identity humiliates you?"
Xie Yan quickly shook his head, "No, I just... don't want to get married for the time being."
Ruan Yunsheng said, "I'm not asking you to really marry me. I'm just pretending. Three years from now, I'll give you some money and set you free. You can do whatever you want then."
"This way, you can also get rid of your identity as a killer. What's wrong with that?"
Xie Yan lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, Princess, I can't agree to this."
Ruan Yunsheng was stunned. She had never thought that Chuwu would refuse.
"Give me a reason."
Xie Yan's voice was hoarse: "There is no reason... Apart from this, I can do anything for the princess."
Ruan Yunsheng looked at him twice, then stood up and walked out. "Forget it, this princess is forcing you to do what you want. Just pretend I wasn't here today."
"Princess..." Xie Yan took a step and walked to the door of the private room, but did not dare to chase out.
Chuwu is shameful, and he has no qualifications to stand beside her openly.
*
Ruan Yunbo was on high alert in the Marquis' Mansion, waiting to see what kind of evildoer was trying to kidnap his sister without making any noise!
Who knew that after waiting for a long time, I saw Ruan Yunsheng coming back alone.
He glanced behind his sister and asked doubtfully, "Where's that 'honest, well-behaved, and obedient' man? Isn't he supposed to be brought back to show Third Brother?"
Ruan Yunsheng's face was filled with displeasure, and he said sullenly, "We didn't reach an agreement. He doesn't want to be a son-in-law."
She boasted to Xie Yan yesterday that she would bring back a handsome boy today.
Who knew it would flip over!
Xie Yan didn't know how to laugh at her!
Ruan Yunbo couldn't help but want to laugh. It would be better if the wild man didn't come!
Although he wanted to find a son-in-law for his sister, he didn't want to just pick a random man with unknown background.
Ruan Yunbo tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth, and cursed with a stern face, "Our mansion hasn't even looked down on him for his humble background, and he's still unwilling? He really doesn't know what's good for him! He's blind!"
"Shengsheng, don't be angry. Third brother will pick a better one for you!"
