The bamboo forest is deep and secluded, and the bamboo house appears and disappears in the distance.

In front is Chu Xuanling's plate.

If he saw me, he would definitely laugh at me.

Ruan Xinchen secretly cursed his bad luck that he had ended up here after running around.

She gently brushed the snow off her shoulders, shuddered, and turned away.

With this turn, he ran directly into Chu Xuanche's arms.

Before she could react, a coat was draped over her shoulders.

"You're running out in such thin clothes in this cold weather. Are you planning to get sick again?"

"None of your business." She snorted.

Chu Xuanche: "Are you angry?"

"Hmph." She snorted again.

Chu Xuanche: "I'm not angry yet, but you are? You run off to find another man, and I can't say anything?"

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

"What we said that day still counts."

Ruan Xinchen: "What?"

"After that day, I won't let go."

So that's what you're talking about?

"But didn't we do our best?"

Chu Xuanche: "If you like this, you can make up for it now."

ah?

This……

"It's not convenient today." Her aunt came.

"Why is it inconvenient? Because you went to see Chu Li today?"

Ruan Xinchen: “…” Here it comes again.

"I admit that I went to see Chu Li, but I..."

He bent down and covered her lips.

He held her waist and pressed her hard towards himself.

After a while of cuddling, he let go of her who was panting lightly.

"Let's talk about it when we get back. Go back and...explain it slowly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked her up.

He is the type who looks thin but is actually full of muscles.

His arms were stiff, his whole body was stiff, and he felt particularly strong.

A blush appeared on Ruan Xinchen's face and she hugged his neck shyly.

Then Caiyu, who was under the eaves, watched them come back like this... like this.

He was stunned for a while, then laughed and hid in his room.

There was a dragon burning in the room and a stove, so it was warm.

He put her next to the charcoal stove, turned around and got some charcoal and added it in.

"Can you tell me now?"

Now that things had come to this, she had been planning to tell him, but she needed to be more tactful and try a different approach.

In fact, she had thought of how to tell him on the way.

After making up her mind, she took out the piece of silk with small words on it from her pocket.

"Chu Li ordered the arrow to be thrown, and it was indeed for the purpose of sending a message. This is the message in the arrow."

Chu Xuanche looked at him with a puzzled expression, "The midwife who delivered your little wife?"

Ruan Xinchen nodded. "My mother died in a strange way. Unfortunately, I was too young that year and I couldn't do anything. Today I went to see the midwife who delivered my mother, and she told me something..."

She told him all she knew and all she guessed.

Chu Xuanche remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

After a long while, he slowly spoke, "So you were threatened by Chu Li because he knew the truth about your mother's death?"

Ruan Xinchen nodded lightly.

"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you ask me for help but went to find Chu Li?"

Ruan Xinchen said: "I didn't look for him, he looked for me."

"Oh, he came to you on his own initiative and said he wanted to help your mother get revenge?"

"No, this is a win-win deal. You know about the marriage he was assigned to, right? Ruan Yihe married him to cheer him up, and he was actually very reluctant, but the matter was done, and he had no choice. He had to have a reason to divorce Ruan Yihe, so he has been trying to find fault with Ruan Yihe.

Last time I was sick, he asked Ruan Yihe to bring me supplements. You don’t think he really cares about me, do you? No, he just used me to label Ruan Yihe as jealous and despising her sisters. "

Chu Xuanche looked at her inquiringly, not knowing how much he believed it.

In order to convince him, Ruan Xinchen added, "He has a girl he likes, and that girl saved his life. She hasn't come to the capital yet, but she should be here soon. He must want to get rid of Ruan Yihe as soon as possible before that girl comes to the capital. To get rid of her, first cut off the power behind her. This is also a method, isn't it?"

Chu Xuanche still looked at him without saying a word.

Ruan Xinchen: “…” You don’t believe this?

She felt that what she said was flawless.

All right.

She continued to work hard.

"He wanted to destroy Cui Yun, but it was inconvenient for him to show up. Ruan Yihe succeeded in getting him a surprise, so it was a favor from him. Even if Cui Yun deserved it, he wouldn't do it, right? That's why he teamed up with me, and I destroyed Cui Yun in the name of revenge for my mother. On the surface, he was helping me, but in fact it was a win-win deal."

What she said was not just to coax Chu Xuanche, but also the truth.

Chu Li said on the surface that he was compensating her and helping her, but in fact it was just a win-win transaction.

He is also helping himself.

He does the hard work and she does the bad work.

Ah, this is what he called compensation and repentance.

Suddenly I thought of my miserable death in my previous life.

The pain caused by the intestinal poison was still fresh in her memory.

I never knew that the five internal organs could be so painful.

Unconsciously, Ruan Xinchen bit her lips, biting them until they turned white and were about to break.

He pressed his rough hands to the corner of her mouth, and with a light tap she relaxed.

"I didn't say I didn't believe you, why are you biting yourself like this?"

ah?

Ruan Xinchen quickly came to her senses and leaned into his arms.

"I will definitely take revenge, but I won't let Chu Libai take advantage, so I'll let him do the hard work. Finding the widow and the evidence from that year is not that easy. After all, more than ten years have passed, and it's uncertain how many years he has left in this world, don't you think?"

"Well, I'm glad you didn't lie to me."

Ruan Xinchen: "..." Why does she feel a little guilty?

"By the way, let me tell you something."

"What?"

"You don't want Mr. 괗 to move out."

"What's up?"

"He... oh, it's not a good thing for him to keep peeking at me. I don't want to live under his surveillance."

She felt the hands tighten around her waist.

Chu Xuanche was so angry that he trembled, "I don't want to either."

Ruan Xinchen: “…” Does this mean that he can’t do anything to Chu Xuanling?

She suddenly remembered a movie she had watched in the past, in which the protagonist peeked at a couple doing their work from various angles, such as the floor and the roof. This made the couple very upset and the male protagonist even became impotent.

Ahhh, how could there be someone as disgusting as Chu Xuanling in the world.

Why don't you go talk to Princess Gong?

Forget it, the Chinese New Year is only three days away, let’s talk about it after the Chinese New Year.

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Day. Princess Gong made arrangements early and invited a troupe to perform.

I don’t know if it’s because the Queen Mother was hunting down Chu Xuanling this year, but he didn’t even show up for the New Year.

The 꺶 family tacitly did not mention him, and Ruan Xinchen did not mention him either.

Ruan Xinchen watched the show with the gang all night.
