"You don't have to be so anxious to repay me. Whoever owes it is responsible. I'll tell you your problem now!" Xu Yixing pulled the chair opposite Lu Anyuan and sat in front of him as if he was interrogating a prisoner.
"I heard that the Second Prince asked you to choose between me and you, and you chose me without hesitation. You even chose me twice?"
"Um... this is because..."
"You really chose me to die?" Xu Yixing leaned back suddenly, looking incredulous.
Lu Anyuan suddenly felt that the shadow guard's help today was not a good thing.
"That's because Second Brother was just trying to trick me. Think about it, I was right in front of him, but he didn't kill me but instead killed you. How could that be possible? Even if I chose you to die, he wouldn't have the energy to really kill you because he didn't have enough manpower and he had to keep you in the palace. Do you understand?"
And if I choose to die, then Second Brother will know that I value you. Even if he didn't want to kill you originally, he would have to kill you this time. Besides, I didn't know your shadow guards were with me at the time. I think you have so many shadow guards protecting you, and I left Ah Er with you. You won't be in any trouble, Yixing. Do you understand what I mean when I say this?"
After listening to this long string, Xu Yixing only had one thought in his mind: He did choose me to die.
Lu Anyuan said all this in one breath, and then looked at Xu Yixing's face. She had her eyes half-closed, her legs slightly apart, and seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that her expression was about to turn into anger.
"I'm sorry, Yixing. I was wrong. I shouldn't have made this choice. Even if the situation was urgent, I shouldn't have chosen to put you in danger. Please forgive me."
As for being able to bend and stretch, Lu Anyuan has some experience in this regard.
"I think you are right." Xu Yixing opened his eyes and agreed with what he said.
"Really?" Lu Anyuan showed a nice smile.
"Really? By the way, I haven't been sleeping well lately and want to sleep alone. I'll have to ask you to stay in the study for now."
"Didn't you say you thought I was right?" I knew things were not that simple!
"Yes, I do think you are right. I remember you said before that I should have the main hall all to myself. That is very true." Xu Yixing stood up, rolled up Lu Anyuan's quilt with his own hands, and then put it in his arms. Then he helped him up and walked him out the door in a very friendly manner.
Then, with a bang, not only the palace door behind Lu Anyuan closed, but also the pride in his heart that had just been burning.
"Master? What's going on?" Ah Er came over. He had been guarding the gate all day and was really bored.
"Don't you understand that your master has been kicked out?" Another voice sounded. It was Mr. Yao. At this moment, he was pacing, slowly walked up the steps, and bowed to Lu Anyuan.
"Your Highness, hello. I heard you made great achievements today, so I came to congratulate you."
"No need. When you have time, go to the Fourth Prince's residence. That man has been poisoned. Tell him to wake up quickly. He still owes us his life. Don't try to deny it."
Mr. Yao smiled: "Oh, if I am not mistaken, he doesn't owe 'you' a life, but owes his wife a life, right? After all, you, right?" Mr. Yao said, while scanning the cup in his arms with his eyes. Tsk tsk tsk, so pitiful.
"roll."
"Look, I came here with a gift, why am I hitting someone who is smiling at me?" Mr. Yao said, taking out a small gourd bottle from his arms, which was only the size of a palm.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, on having your wish come true. The medicine you requested has been prepared. From today on, you can sleep with your wife without any worries about her health!"
Ah ha, of course, that's when you have a house to live in." After saying all this, he hung one end of the small gourd on Lu Anyuan's belt and ran away towards his original yard.
“Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!”
Lu Anyuan had never found Mr. Yao's laughter so piercing. He could now empathize with the feelings of those who were poisoned by his medicine before they died. He wanted to kill him, but he couldn't kill him. How fucking pathetic!
Ah Er glanced at the arrogant Mr. Yao, then at the pale-faced His Highness, and for a moment he was unsure whether he should accept the gift from His Highness. Thus, the master and servant, one turned into a wife-watching stone, the other looked at the wife-watching stone, bewildered.
Lu Anyuan finally went to the study. The price he paid was that the maids and servants who were responsible for cleaning the house tomorrow morning would find a large amount of dead earthworms and mud in the house.
"Ada, I'll write this letter. Remember to deliver it to Madam's main hall tomorrow morning."
"good."
"Hiss! Do you think I made the wrong choice?"
"Of course not. The Second Prince clearly did it on purpose. No matter who you choose, he will kill you. Madam is protected by so many people in the mansion, she will be fine."
"Then do you think what Madam said about me makes sense?"
"Well... I think so."
"So I'm right, and she's right, so who's the problem?"
"Uh..." Ah Da had a headache. How could he tell right from wrong? Besides, I really don't know how you two talked about this. How did you end up in the study?
Lu Anyuan sighed softly and reached out to press the small bottle at his waist. It had been eight whole months. God knew how much he had been looking forward to Mr. Yao's early arrival. What a miserable life he had been through in the past eight months.
I can see and touch it, but I can't eat it. I almost got a rheumatoid arthritis from taking a cold shower, but why did it have to be today? Couldn't you have sent it to me even a day earlier?
Maybe this was fate? A punishment for not doing the right thing at the crucial moment? Heaven... But was this such a big mistake? Was it really necessary to do this?
After a brief period of depression, Lu Anyuan spread out a piece of white paper and wrote down in detail the story he was going to tell Xu Yixing. Perhaps seeing the words was like seeing the person, and when she saw it, she would feel that his behavior was sincere and thus calm down?
As Lu Anyuan instructed, Ada delivered the letter to Xu Yixing's room early in the morning, but he found out that his wife had left the house earlier than him.
What's going on? Did the lady go back to her parents' home?
Of course, Xu Yixing didn't return to the Xu Mansion. She had gotten up early today to pay her respects to Ying Er. She had only seen him once, on the day she accepted him as her master. Xu Yixing had even forgotten his voice, but he had sacrificed his life for her.
It was hard to say what kind of unequal devotion this was. The Shadow Guards' loyalty to her came from their loyalty to Grandfather Bai and Mother Bai. They had been chosen and trained by the Bai family, and perhaps they had been nurtured, but as the actual beneficiary, Xu Yixing, she was definitely not the one to whom she should be grateful.
She has a very clear understanding of her own position: a little orange cat who has obtained a powerful team of killers under the protection of her grandfather. She cannot be compared with the might of her grandfather or father.
