Look for it, of course you have to.

I will ask Cui Yun for clarification later, she is an important witness.

After Grandma Wen left, Ruan Xinchen remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, Chu Li said, "From what she said, your mother and brother died after she left, and they definitely didn't die of childbirth difficulties. I guess Cui'er, the maid who found your mother, knows the details."

Ruan Xinchen nodded, thinking that maybe Cui Yun wanted to kill them.

But they didn't expect that the old woman who had been a stable woman all her life was very experienced and really capable. She relied on her rich experience to keep them and their child safe.

Cui Yun would not let them survive, so she killed them later and did not tell anyone else that she died of childbirth complications.

Going so far to find an elderly mother-in-law must have her own considerations.

Ancient times were different from modern times. In ancient times, the range of activities of ordinary women in their lifetime was no more than a mile in radius, and men could not travel further than a hundred miles. After all, if they went beyond a hundred miles, they had to go to the government for a pass.

The distance from Xiangzhou to the capital is just over a hundred miles.

Who would have thought of going a hundred miles away to find a stable mother?

Besides, the wife she found was so old. She was over 60 at the time and thought she didn't have many years left to live.

Who would have thought that she is still alive today and seems to be in good spirits.

This is something that even the old master cannot tolerate, and he is determined to make Cui Yunqian's crimes known to the world.

She simply gave up.

"Since you know, you should understand how much I hate you. How dare you stay with me in this life when you treat me like that?"

"I..." Chu Li suddenly lost her temper after being aggressive, "I'm sorry."

Ruan Xinchen said calmly: "It's not enough to just say sorry if you have caused harm to others. Otherwise, what else would the government do, right?"

Chu Li's eyes were moist and he looked at her with a painful expression.

"I know I'm sorry for you. I know I was wrong. Xinchen, let me compensate you, let me compensate you..."

Looking at his stubborn and crazy expression, Ruan Xinchen didn't dare to say anything too harsh, for fear that he might push her too far and ruin Cui'er's plan.

He wants compensation. Fine, then let him compensate.

"Okay, if you want to compensate me, then help me find Cui'er. If my mother was really killed by Cui Yun, then help me get revenge."

Chu Li's hands, which were tightly gripping the armrest, slowly loosened.

He smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I will definitely help you. I owe you this. When I avenge your mother, Xinchen, will you forgive me?"

Forgive me?

From the emperor's perspective, what Ruan Hong and his wife did in their previous life was enough to implicate their children.

It was reasonable for her to be killed because of those two old guys.

But from her personal standpoint she couldn't forgive him.

Ruan Ziyi was spared the death penalty and was only exiled.

But she was given a chance and died such a tragic death.

Chu Li knew clearly that she was not of the same kind as that family, yet she was still angry with her.

It's just that he felt that she had taken Xu Moli's place, so he just found a suitable reason to get rid of her.

He, they... never trusted her.

Ruan Xinchen suppressed the hatred in her heart and showed a simple smile.

"OK."

Who doesn’t know how to draw cakes?

꿯 Zheng is like this, he will offend Chu Li sooner or later.

Coax him into avenging himself first, so that he can get back some interest.

…

Ruan Xinchen returned to Prince Gong's Mansion with his cloak covered with snowflakes.

Even though she tried her best to hurry, she was still caught in snow halfway.

Fortunately it’s not very big.

After returning to Cui Garden, she handed the cloak to Caiyu and went to the stove to warm herself by the fire.

The snow is getting heavier.

Ruan Xinchen said: "Fortunately I ran fast, otherwise it would be very troublesome if the snow got heavy and I got stuck in the middle of the road."

Caiyu, holding the cloak, was hesitant to speak.

Ruan Xinchen: "What's wrong? Tell me if you have something to say."

Caiyu said weakly: "Sister, the prince is back."

"Hmm? Prince? Where is he?"

Caiyu looked into the dark corner of the room.

Ruan Xinchen's eyes gradually adapted to the dark light. She followed Caiyu's gaze and saw an even darker figure in the faint light.

The neck, face, and hands that were exposed were all abnormally white.

She couldn't see his expression clearly, and she felt that the atmosphere in the whole room was very low.

Looking sideways, I saw the arrow still on the table.

놙It was the thin silk that she took away.

But the bamboo tube on the arrow can be seen to be a legend.

So... could it be... that he knew that she was going to see Chu Li today?

Ruan Xinchen gave Caiyu a look and asked her to leave first.

Caiyu understood and quickly retreated holding her cloak.

After the door closed, Ruan Xinchen took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the darkness.

He is very angry now. What should I do? I still use the old method to coax him.

Yes, no matter whether he is angry or not, if he curses at someone, just shut him up.

After pumping herself up, she threw herself directly into his arms and rubbed her cold face against his exposed neck.

Cool him down and freeze him to death.

"Sir, if you chase after the Second Young Master and leave him alone, it will be very uncomfortable."

"Heh." Darkness laughed coldly and mockingly, "So you couldn't stand the loneliness and went to find Chu Li?"

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

Bah, do you have to speak so harshly?

"Nonsense, what can a cripple like him do? People don't like him, but they like you."

"Hmph, you liar." The slender white hand held her chin, forcing her to look up at him.

The red lips opened slightly, and hot air sprayed on her face. "There are a few truths in your mouth, huh?"

Ruan Xinchen tried his best to calm himself down.

"How can it be a lie? It's real, more real than pearls."

She nestled herself in his arms and bent over to rub his rolling Adam's apple.

I felt that his breathing had become heavy, and he was trying his best to endure something.

He pushed her head away and said sarcastically, suppressing his lust: "Did you use such means to seduce Chu Li?"

Ruan Xinchen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt sour in his heart.

She had clearly done it to him alone, but he made it sound as if she could do it to anyone.

It's enough to not trust her once or twice. If you keep saying this to her, she will be sad.

Ruan Xinchen bit her lip in grievance and raised her head to hold back the tears that were about to burst out.

She turned around and said in a muffled voice, "No."

No matter whether he believed it or not, she wiped away the tears that she had not held back and left quickly.

She didn't want him to discover her weak side.

She thinks crying is a shameful thing.

"Sister Xiao, where are you going?"

Caiyu in the corridor saw her coming out of the house and then hurried out.

He was wearing thin clothes, without even a jacket.

Ruan Xinchen didn't answer her and ran away.

She didn't know where she was going, and she wanted to find a quiet place to calm down for a while and deal with her emotions.

But unexpectedly, I walked into the bamboo forest without realizing it.
