She walked past Chu Xuanling, and he made eyes at her, almost making a face.
Ruan Xinchen felt overwhelmed and quickly fled the scene.
Princess Gong frowned and said, "Xiao Ling, do you know what you are doing?"
Chu Xuanling smiled and went to massage Princess Gong's shoulders, "Of course I know, mother. I am very sober now."
Princess Gong had a good feeling in her heart.
"Are you particularly sober?"
"Well, 놖 is very clear-headed and clearly understands that 놖 has fallen in love with 놖's sister-in-law."
Princess Gong: “…”
"You are going to the toilet with a lantern, seeking death."
…
War Palace
"You mean to say that this letter was given by a girl?"
"yes."
"What else did she say?"
"No, she asked me to give you this letter."
Chu Li held the letter and remained silent for a while.
After a while, he finally let someone give the reward and send the man away.
"Ling Lie."
Ling Lie came up to Chu Li and said, "Your Highness."
"You said that the person who followed Miss Ruan was beaten yesterday?"
"Yes, our people followed us to the silk shop and then left."
"Who hit me?"
"This……"
"say."
Ling Lie whispered, "It seems to be the young master of Prince Gong's Mansion."
"Chu Xuanling?"
"It's him."
Chu Li pinched the letter and crushed it into pieces.
By the time he realized it, the letter was already so rotten that it was unbearable to read.
Chu Li felt a pang of heartache and gently spread it out and pieced it together.
I tried several times but failed.
Chu Li shoved a bunch of rotten paper at Ling Lie impatiently, "Go, stick it on the surface."
ah?
The light has been applied, but do you still need to show it?
Wait, where does the word "chicken chop" come from?
Throwing rice for the chickens to eat is not enough to write like this.
That's it? Still need to put on a good watch?
Ling Lie looked at it in confusion, with many questions in his mind, but he didn't dare to ask.
놙땣 Just take it and dip it.
Chu Li rubbed his brows with a headache, and after thinking it over, he decided to go to the address written on the letter.
It takes a hundred times to break a bone, but by now a hundred times had passed and his leg was already healed.
In this life, without Ruan Xinchen's care, I always feel that I have recovered too well.
He still stood for long periods of time or did strenuous exercise, but whenever he encountered any changes, his legs would hurt badly.
So he pretended to be lame not only for political reasons, but also for physical reasons.
Chu Li asked someone to push a wheelchair over and went out in it.
When he found Xu Moli, she was still eating dry grain biscuits.
When I saw the person in the wheelchair at the door, the dry grain biscuits in my mouth fell on me, and hot tears followed.
No one knew how much suffering she had endured along the way.
When she was cheated out of all her money, she thought she would never see him again.
With great perseverance, she begged for food all the way to the capital.
Now I finally meet him.
"Xiao Li." Xu Moer wiped away her tears and ran towards him.
Chu Li felt mixed emotions for a moment and glanced at the person next to him.
The guards beside him immediately blocked Xu Moer in front of him.
"Why are you here? Did I write you a letter telling you not to come?"
"B…"
Chu Li's distant look made Xu Moer calm down quickly.
Seeing that he was so happy, she even forgot for a moment that he had changed his mind and betrayed her.
But she was willing, and it was her persistence that supported her to come to the capital, to find him, and to ask him in person why he broke his oath.
"You guys are so nice, you clearly promised... that you would... that you would marry me." Xu Moer was crying and was about to continue.
She took several deep breaths before she spoke again, "They said you got married, and they exchanged the marriage contract your father promised you for money. I don't believe it, so I came and found you. I will ask you personally before you are willing."
Chu Lishen said without mercy: "It's true, the letter was written by you, and the words were spoken by you."
Xu Moer's body shook, "Why?"
"I originally said that I would come back to find you after I finished the battle, but I didn't expect that after I narrowly won the battle, I was ambushed on the way back and was seriously injured. I almost lost my life."
Only then did Xu Moer notice that he was sitting in a wheelchair.
What happened to his leg?
Chu Li saw her looking at his legs, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "As you can see, the legs are broken too. Originally, he could have survived, but the elders in the family were unwilling to give up and listened to a remedy that would bring good luck. They found a wife for him while he was in a coma, and when he woke up, it was already a foregone conclusion, so he married you. Sorry."
Xu Moer stared at him blankly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"But you promised, why...why are you like this?"
Chu Li glanced away, looked at her, and said, "You are too young and think too simply. Marriage should be decided by parents. Parents marry their wives and make their own promises. That is called a private transaction and will not be recognized."
Xu Moer burst into tears.
It was clearly his promise, but now he said that the promise he made to her was a private one?
I heard that the Xiao family was a prominent family. She was a powerless and weak woman, and the only thing she could rely on was his promise.
Now that he is ready to fulfill his promise, what will she do?
The people are always fighting against the officials, let alone he is a powerful person.
With such a result, why did she suffer so much along the way?
She was willing, willing for it to end like this.
"You said...when your people found you, they said they could give you extra compensation?"
Chu Li nodded, "Yes, in addition to fulfilling the promise of marriage, I will try my best to satisfy you in other aspects."
Xu Moer smiled bitterly and said, "Since you are already husband and wife, why don't you become sworn brothers and sisters?"
Chu Li frowned.
In fact, he really wanted to have a relationship with Xu Moer again and become sworn brothers and sisters. Who knew how much trouble he would encounter in the future.
"Is it difficult? You just said that you would do your best to fulfill your promise except the promise of marriage. Xiao Li, a real man's promise is worth a thousand gold. Since you can't fulfill your promise, why do you keep making promises again and again?"
Her words moved Chu Li a little.
But he still hesitated.
Then Xu Moer said, "Everyone in the village knows that you came to the capital to find your husband. They all know that you are going to marry in the capital. How can you go back alone now?
If you go back like this, you will be drowned in gossip and spit. So…so, please help me find a family in the capital to marry. As sworn siblings, maybe I can have an easier time in my husband’s family.”
Chu Li raised her head and saw her face full of tears again.
I thought that although I had fulfilled my promise in my previous life, she didn't know it.
In her eyes, she was a treacherous person who had betrayed her.
"Okay." Since 놊땣 married her, it would be fine for them to become sworn brothers and sisters.
