Chapter 256 Guaranteeing the Last Concubine
Du Ruo walked back in despair.
She ran into Cheng Yunshuo who had just returned.
When Cheng Yunshuo heard that Bixi had come to the Marquis's Mansion, he hurried back.
The two met in the corridor, and Du Ruo stared at Cheng Yunshuo.
She couldn't describe her mood at that moment. Lu Lingyun's words just now were like a slap in her face.
Tell her to see the reality.
However, when she really met Cheng Yunshuo again, the heart-wrenching pain was still hard for her to suppress.
She couldn't suppress the resentment in her heart, which kept burning her heart.
Tearing and pulling at her hair, she wanted to pounce on him, bite Cheng Yunshuo hard, dig out his heart, and see what kind of person he was!
She loved him so much, why could he let her down like this? Could it be that Cheng Yunshuo had no feelings at all?
Cheng Yunshuo met Du Ruo's empty and complicated eyes. He blinked, and finally walked past her without saying a word.
Go straight to Lu Lingyun's yard.
The moment they passed each other, Du Ruowa burst into tears.
This cry was so heartbreaking that anyone who heard it could feel her almost despairing pain.
"Aruo." Cheng Yunshuo finally softened his heart. He stopped and looked at her with frowned brows, "Why are you crying again?"
Crying...what?
Du Ruo kept crying.
Cheng Yunshuo reached out his hand to comfort her, but Du Ruo grabbed him tightly as if she had found a life-saving straw, "Master, Master."
"I'm here." Cheng Yunshuo held her in his arms with pity and comforted her.
Under this long-lost warmth, Du Ruo ignited a glimmer of hope. She sobbed as before, "I, I don't want that woman to come in. Please don't let her in, okay?"
The hand holding her froze, and a voice rang out above her head.
"Aruo, why are you still so ignorant?"
Cheng Yunshuo let her go and looked at her with a cold face.
At this moment, Du Ruo finally recognized the facts.
The fact that Cheng Yunshuo didn't love her at all.
This is not how you love someone. She had seen how he loved Xing Dairong. He would get angry at her unreasonable requests, but would eventually give in step by step. When he couldn't give in anymore, he would become even more distressed by the pressure from Xing Dairong.
But he never did that to her.
When Cheng Yunshuo was in a good mood, he would give her whatever she wanted, but once she crossed the line, he would immediately turn hostile and ruthless.
He didn't care about the sachets and socks she embroidered for him, didn't care about the injustice she had suffered because of the snuff bottle, and didn't care about her tears and pain.
His feelings towards her from the beginning to the end were not love at all, but just pampering.
But...she loves him!
"Cheng Yunshuo! There are so many women in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion, but I am the only one who truly loves you! Lu Lingjun doesn't love you, Qiu Ling doesn't love you, Linglong doesn't love you, and even Bixi, whom you have been protecting, doesn't love you!" Du Ruo's eyes were red, and she looked at him viciously, "How can you keep hurting me for those women who don't love you!"
She shouted fiercely, like a knife, trying to cut into Cheng Yunshuo's heart.
Question him harshly.
She lacks love and longs to be loved. In her opinion, he will definitely regret disappointing someone who loves him so much. If she doesn't live well, he will never have a good life!
But.
What Du Ruo couldn't understand was that after Cheng Yunshuo heard what was in her heart, there was no trace of emotion on his face.
"What else?" Cheng Yunshuo looked at her coldly.
He didn't care about the knife that Du Ruo mentioned.
Because Du Ruo didn't know at all that a man like Cheng Yunshuo didn't lack love at all.
Cheng Yunshuo, who has been spoiled since childhood, doesn't care whether others love him or not. He only cares about the people he loves.
Whoever he loves is his everything.
He is not the kind of man who would be moved and love a woman back with the same or even double the love just because she loves him.
Du Ruo's deep love was worthless to him.
He doesn't care.
He always pursues only his own love, affectionate and ruthless.
Cheng Yunshuo's nonchalant attitude was like the final arrow, completely piercing through the protection that Du Ruo had put on herself.
At this moment, she was like a drowning person, and the raging sea of suffering instantly submerged her.
All her affection was insignificant in the other person's eyes.
She stared at Cheng Yunshuo for a long time and then laughed.
I laughed and then I started crying.
What she thought of at this moment was Lu Lingyun's words.
She didn't have the courage to face reality.
Yes, in fact, she had felt it a long time ago, but because she knew that the reality was painful, she did not dare to face it and had been avoiding it in a rebellious manner. But now, even though she did not want to face it, she had to face it.
A bloody and extremely real reality.
She saw through Cheng Yunshuo completely.
She covered her face and ran out of the house.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Yunshuo just said, "Tell someone to follow her and don't let anything happen to her."
"yes!"
Cheng Yunshuo went directly to Lu Lingyun.
Now that things have happened, they must be resolved.
He wanted to let Nabixi in.
Lu Lingjun saw Cheng Yunshuo who rushed back almost immediately. After hearing his request, she remained silent and just looked at him.
She was testing Bixi's importance in Cheng Yunshuo's heart.
Cheng Yunshuo met Lu Lingyun's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he assured her, "Lingyun, in this life, I will only take Bixi as my last concubine. I will never take anyone else into the mansion."
After hearing these words, Lu Lingyun completely understood how much Bixi meant to him.
He really treated Bixi as a substitute for Xing Dairong.
She took a sip of tea and said, "Since the prince has spoken, then let's do this."
Hearing that Lu Lingyun agreed, Cheng Yunshuo looked at her with only gratitude.
Thank you very much.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Lingyun never gave him any trouble, let alone made things difficult for him.
He respected Lu Lingyun to the utmost and assured her, "Lingyun, don't worry, no matter who it is, no one can surpass you."
Lu Lingyun smiled faintly after hearing this.
She told him in detail about the arrangement of Bixi in the mansion. Because Bixi was a concubine and had just been gossiping, it was impossible for her to come in in a grand manner. Lu Lingyun asked her to stay outside for a while, and wait until everything was calm and there was no noise, and then quietly asked her to come in through the small door.
Cheng Yunshuo agreed to all of them, and even promised that he would not go to Bixi's place during this period of time.
He had no intention of refutation at all. Even if Bixi entered the mansion in the future, he would only ask Lu Lingyun to discipline her and would not interfere.
In his heart, no one can surpass Lu Lingyun.
In a flash, seven or eight days had passed.
Du Ruo returned to her aunt's house, stayed there and never went out again.
Her aunt's health is getting worse day by day.
Ever since she saw Cheng Yunshuo's true face that day, she has calmed down.
There is no more detachment and frivolity.
After returning to her aunt's house, she stayed by her aunt's bedside day and night, taking care of her, and seemed to have grown up in an instant.
Her aunt felt heartbroken when she saw her like this.
"Ah Ruo, what happened to you?"
