Women are all liars!
He has been cheated by women too many times and he will never trust any woman again.
Since childhood, his mother, in order to compete for favor with other concubines, always tricked him into eating the wrong things, or tricked him into wearing less clothes and getting wet in the rain, making herself sick, so that she could invite his father to see him.
At that time, although he knew his mother's little thoughts, he was willing to be deceived.
Later, his mother passed away, and his father entrusted him to the care of the Imperial Noble Consort. The Imperial Noble Consort was beautiful and outwardly treated him with kindness, as if he were her own son. However, she unknowingly poisoned him...
Later, his fiancée, the marriage bestowed by the emperor, was Bai Bingjing, the granddaughter of the great general who guarded the country.
Although he didn't understand what love was at that time, since his father said that she was his suitable future Crown Princess, he accepted her. He thought that she would be his life partner and that they would rule the world together and enjoy the country together.
But she didn't expect that in the end she would secretly conspire with his brother, and take advantage of the hunting opportunity to not only murder him, but also humiliate him in every way!
All of this was done by women.
In his mind, all women are liars, bad people, and are out to harm him.
This idea has long been deeply rooted.
Now, a stranger named Li Shushu suddenly appeared. She saved him and said she came to find him. How could he believe it?
There must be a reason, there must be a purpose, there must be an ulterior motive!
All he could do now was to send her away as soon as possible, while the two of them could still be barely called "friends", and before her conspiracy began to be implemented.
There can be no more!
…………
Li Shushu was so angry that she tossed and turned all night. She cursed in her heart: Damn Xia Muyan, stinky Xia Muyan, I'll make you ungrateful and drive me away. If you beg me to come back later, I won't come back!
Xia Muyan wasn't much better. Even though he was wearing a mask, one could still see the dark circles under his eyes.
Perhaps seeing Li Shushu's reluctance, Xia Muyan did not force her the next day.
Instead, he tactfully informed her of a piece of news: the marriage between the Marquis' Mansion and the Third Prince had not been dissolved because of her disappearance, but it was kept secret from everyone, and her personal maid Lian'er was temporarily married off in her place.
"What?" This was something Li Shushu had never thought of.
As a bride, she disappeared, and even left her shoes by the river to tell others that she was dead!
When a person dies, the matter is over. She thought that this marriage should be cancelled as a matter of course, and it would not bring any sequelae to the Marquis's Mansion.
But I didn't expect that the other party was so persistent?
In order not to cancel the marriage, he was even willing to accept the method of having a maid marry in his place?
Doesn’t he have a new love, Bai Bingjing?
Didn't Bai Bingjing despise her in her previous life for blocking her way? Wasn't the Bai Mansion a stronger support for him?
Shouldn't they all be happy if she died?
There were many things she couldn't figure out, and she didn't plan to think about them for the time being.
But since Lian'er ended up in the Third Prince's mansion, and since the Marquis's Mansion was finally forced to marry him, it seemed that there was no point for her to escape from this marriage.
You can't just throw Lian'er into the fire pit and leave her alone just because of your own selfish desires, right?
Thinking of this, she no longer worried about being driven down the mountain, and she obediently got on the carriage she had come in.
Ah Li sat in the front of the car, looking at her reluctantly, "Brother Li Shu, why did you leave so suddenly?"
"I suddenly remembered that there are some important matters waiting for me to deal with at home. Thank you for your hard work, Brother Li." Li Shushu replied with a smile.
Leng Qi glanced at his master and shook his head reluctantly, "Your Highness, won't you try to keep me here for a while?"
Xia Muyan stood with his hands folded, his face expressionless under the mask, and he only replied coldly: "No need!"
On the way back in the carriage, Li Shushu's mind was racing: Should she go back to the Marquis' Mansion first and then go to the Third Prince's Mansion, or go directly to the Third Prince's Mansion to pick up Lian'er?
It has been several days since she disappeared on the wedding eve. How should she face Xia Muyu and explain to him what happened in the past few days?
I definitely couldn't tell them that I went to Qinglong Village with someone that night.
That would inevitably involve Qinglong Village. Although Xia Muyan was a blockhead and she felt annoyed when she thought of him, the brothers there were still good people.
Moreover, if others knew that she had gone to Qinglong Village, her innocence would be in jeopardy.
Although, there are probably not many people who are willing to believe in her innocence now.
But now that she was facing Xia Muyu, she didn't need to care about what he thought.
…
After Ali sent her to the city wall that night, he got out of the car and followed Li Shushu not far away until he saw her enter the mansion, and then he drove away. This was what Xia Muyan had instructed in advance.
He did not allow Ali to be discovered by the people from the Third Prince's Mansion or the Marquis' Mansion, otherwise, it would probably bring disaster to the village.
…
Li Shushu did not go to the Marquis' Mansion, but went directly to the Third Prince's Mansion.
When they arrived, it was almost noon, and Xia Muyu had already returned home from court.
After hearing the report from the guard, Xia Muyu couldn't believe it, and the maid Lian'er beside him was also surprised and happy.
Together, they strode to the gate. After seeing that it was indeed Li Shushu, Lian'er ran over crying: "Miss, Miss, I'm glad you're okay. I thought..., sob..."
"Silly Lian'er, I'm a very capable young lady, what could happen?" She patted Lian'er's back gently to comfort her.
Xia Muyu followed behind Lian'er, standing with his hands folded.
