Chapter 530 Hang Li’s Friendship
Xichun nodded: "Don't worry, Madam Ru, I have given you all the instructions before you enter the palace."
"Yes, my sister is more thoughtful than me."
Xue Ru didn't show any dissatisfaction when she heard this. Instead, she raised the corners of her mouth with pride and intimacy: "Then listen to your instructions, sister. Don't make any mistakes."
After putting the soup and food away, Xue Ru led Xichun back. Thinking of the scene she had just seen, she tilted her head and pondered as she walked forward.
Governor Xiao's identity was temporarily clear, and he and his elder sister were friendly with each other, showing affection in front of the court officials. Given how much Governor Xiao cared about his elder sister, it seemed that good things were about to happen to the two of them.
If her elder sister gets married, she should also prepare a gift for her elder sister...
Xue Ru counted silently on her fingers.
After her elder sister made her the housekeeper, she gave her a lot of monthly allowance. When she left the Song family and broke with the Song clan, her elder sister also asked her stepfather for a share of the money on her behalf. She has been saving it well.
Oh, and there's also the subsidy after the college exam...
Xue Ru calculated her own small treasury and couldn't help but smile widely, and even her back looked a little more cheerful.
"What do you think Madam Ru is thinking about? She is laughing so happily?" Yue Jian squatted on the wall, full of confusion.
Hang Li lowered his eyes and looked over there: "I don't know."
"I don't know what you're laughing at."
Yue Jian glared at him unhappily. "The Dragon Court Guards will be returning to the northwest soon. When Fu Yue and the others go back to reorganize the army, I heard you're planning to go with them?"
Hang Li said "hmm": "I told the governor, and he agreed."
Yue Jian was curious: "Why, have you figured it out and want to fight for yourself?"
Hang Li said, "I figured it out."
Fu Yue and his men seem to be close to the Governor, but they are far away in the northwest after all, and the Dragon Jade Order's control over them may not last long. The Governor needs his confidants to infiltrate the Longting Guards, so that they can not only grasp the battle situation in the northwest and the news of Beiling, but also ensure that there will not be a second Shang Qin in the Longting Guards.
He liked Xue Ru and didn't want her to be ridiculed and looked down upon because of him. He had to make a good future for himself before he could be qualified to stand in front of her and tell her that he liked her.
"Then have you expressed your feelings to Madam Ru?"
"No."
"No?!"
Yue Jian was shocked: "You're leaving without saying anything?"
"That brat Di Tao will definitely stay in the capital. With his shameless persistence, aren't you afraid that Madam Ru will already have agreed to his request before he even makes any achievements in the Northwest War? By then, they'll be happily married and you won't even have time to cry."
Hang Li said: "No, A'ru knows what I mean."
Seeing Yuejian's face full of surprise, a smile appeared in his eyes.
"I haven't concealed my feelings for A-ru. A-ru is smarter than many people and is better at sensing other people's emotions. Although I haven't expressed my feelings to her, I'm sure she knows."
Yue Jian was speechless: "So what? You didn't say it directly, so Di Tao must be annoyed to tell the world."
"She doesn't like Di Tao's."
Yue Jian raised an eyebrow.
Hang Li explained softly, "Aru isn't emotionally inclined. Her tolerance and closeness to Di Tao are more due to the girl and the governor. She prefers staying in the academy to marrying and having children. She likes to live freely, like Madam Qin, without having to rely on a man."
Hang Li recalled that a long time ago, Xue Ru went to deliver a message to Tang Ning.
She was obviously crying and terrified, her face pale as a ghost, but she was able to roll up her skirt and crawl through the dog hole, disobeying her father and family whom she had been afraid of since she was a child, and doing things that many other girls dared not do.
"Don't look at her as timid and gentle, because she is actually very bold. Not to mention Di Tao, even the princes and nobles in the capital may not be in her eyes."
"But……"
"Nothing to worry about."
Hang Li's expression was gentle when he spoke of Xue Ru. "She knows my feelings for her. Since she hasn't mentioned it, it means she has no interest in me at the moment. Besides, I'm going to the northwest to risk my life for my future. If Beiling goes south, my life or death on the battlefield will be unpredictable."
"If I tell her my feelings right now and she rejects me outright, I'll be distracted and upset. But if she accepts, what will she do if something happens to me in the Northwest?"
"My little girl's best years are only these few years away. I can't let her waste them on me. She stays in the capital to pursue the life she wants, while I go to fight for the future I hope for. If she is still alone when I return to the capital in the future, I will declare my feelings to her and hope she will favor me."
Yue Jian frowned when she heard this: "What if she has someone she likes?"
Hang Li was silent for a moment. "If she finds someone she likes, and that person is a good match for her, then I will prepare a gift for her to marry. I wish her a peaceful and happy life."
Yue Jian frowned even tighter: "You are so generous!"
"It's not about being generous, it's about Aju not being responsible for my future."
Of course, Xue Ru was partly responsible for his going to the Northwest, but more importantly, he was unwilling to be inferior to others and wanted to stand out and have a bright future.
You can't force Xue Ru to agree to be with him and take responsibility for his future just because of his ambition.
He's not that shameless yet.
Hang Li looked at Yue Jian, whose eyebrows were twisted into knots and whose eyes were looking at him strangely. He laughed out loud: "What's that look in your eyes?"
Tsukimi: "Look at me like an idiot."
She didn't understand what Hang Li was thinking, what about tolerance and fulfillment, what about sending her to marry. If she had someone she liked, she would just grab him back without caring about anything.
She was not so generous as to leave her favorite meat in the wolf's den for the wolf cubs to covet every day. She had to mark it with her own mark first.
"I don't care about you!"
Yue Jian patted her skirt, stood up and jumped down from the wall: "Now that the governor's identity is known, those who want to marry Lady Ru will definitely trample the door to the ground. You are so generous, don't come crying if you lose your wife in the future."
She stepped forward, pushed the door open, looked at the pigeon soup warming on the stove outside the partition, and muttered with a pout:
"Such a considerate little girl, there are many people who want her. If it were me, I would definitely take her back to my nest first. Why pretend to be poor and generous..."
"What are you bringing back to the nest?"
Canglang popped his head out from the window.
Yue Jian was startled: "Where did you come from?!"
"I just finished dealing with things outside. Xi Weifang gave me some instructions, and Fu Yue also sent me some messages. I came back to tell the governor."
Canglang shrugged his nose, his stomach growling: "Who sent this? It smells so good..."
He climbed in through the window and reached out to touch the food by the stove, but Yue Jian slapped him away: "Don't move! This is for the young lady and the governor from Lady Ru."
Canglang shrank his hands and muttered, "There are so many. I won't die if I eat one."
Seeing Yuejian looking at him sideways, he swallowed his saliva and looked away angrily: "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Why are you so fierce..."
This vicious woman.
Be careful or you won’t be able to get married!
