Chapter 257: Never Meet Again in Life and Death

Du Ruo shook her head, "Aunt, I'm fine."

"You're talking nonsense. I've watched you grow up since you were a child. Don't I know what you're like?" Aunt Du looked much better this afternoon. She was able to sit up and talk to Du Ruo.

Du Ruo forced a smile, "Aunt, what was I like before?"

"Our Aruo used to be the most lively, jumping around like a boy, without any girl's rules."

Du Ruo was stunned when she heard this. She had forgotten what she was like before. Her tears that had already dried up began to fall again.

Aunt Du quickly reached out to wipe away her tears and said distressedly, "Aunt knows that being a concubine is ultimately unsatisfactory."

"To marry someone means swallowing needles, and to be a concubine means swallowing 100,000 needles. No matter how well your master treats you, you will feel wronged if you become a concubine."

In an instant, tears rolled down.

"Don't cry, Aru."

"Aunt!" Du Ruo hugged her aunt.

At this moment, she finally regretted it.

I regret not listening to her, I regret being so silly, and I regret everything I did before.

Clearly, all the options for becoming the legal wife were open to her, but she chose not to choose them.

She did all sorts of bad things and ended up becoming Cheng Yunshuo's concubine, but she was still happy about it.

I feel that as long as I am loved, I have nothing to fear.

But in fact, she has nothing!

If you marry someone and become his legal wife, even if he doesn't love you, you will still be respected, just like Lu Lingyun, who had respect and power throughout her life. It's nothing like now, where she is in such a desperate situation!

She really regretted it!

"Cough, cough, cough!" Aunt Du coughed violently.

A hint of blood spread around Du Ruo. Du Ruo raised her head and saw her aunt coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"aunt!"

"Don't cry, auntie is fine."

"Aunt, I'll go call the doctor!"

"No need to call a doctor, aunt is leaving." Aunt Du held Du Ruo's hand tightly, "The one that aunt is most worried about in this world is you. You lost your mother when you were young, and you suffered a lot. They all say that you are rebellious. Aunt knows that you just want people to like you more. When aunt is gone, you must take good care of yourself."

Du Ruo cried loudly.

Aunt Du saw this and forced a smile, "Don't cry, don't cry. Our Aruo used to be a chivalrous woman."

Du Ruo was stunned when the word "heroine" came out. She stood up suddenly and wiped her eyes heavily, "Aunt, I will go get you a doctor. I must save you!"

"Aru! Cough, cough, cough!"

Du Ruo took her brother's horse and drove straight to the marquis's mansion.

She wanted to find Cheng Yunshuo and ask him for the last time.

The last last time.

The horse quickly arrived at the mansion, but she also found that the mansion was different today.

A new courtyard has been opened in the backyard, named Bishuiyuan.

And also hung two red lanterns.

She looked at that place in bewilderment for a moment, and then she heard the servant say, "A new concubine has entered the mansion."

"That one really looks like the one from Yuerong Pavilion."

"Yes, anyone who sees her will say that she looks like him. That person will definitely be favored in the future!"

Du Ruo understood it in a daze.

Bixi still entered the mansion.

But at this moment she no longer cared about Bixi. She wanted to find someone to ask where Cheng Yunshuo was. When she looked up, she saw Cheng Yunshuo walking towards her.

"My Lord!"

Her address completely changed from Master to Prince.

Du Ruo trotted to Cheng Yunshuo and knelt down in front of him with a thud.

When Cheng Yunshuo saw Du Ruo appear at this time, his brows furrowed slightly.

"What do you want now? If you talk about Bixi again, just shut up."

"No." Du Ruo didn't have the heart to talk about Bixi. She raised her haggard face and looked at Cheng Yunshuo pleadingly, "My Lord, I didn't know the rules before and made you angry. Please forgive me. Aruo will never annoy you again in the future, and will never say a bad word about Aunt Li again."

When Cheng Yunshuo heard this, his brows furrowed.

"What do you want to do?"

"Please, my Lord, please help me invite the imperial physician again!" Du Ruo kowtowed to Cheng Yunshuo.

Cheng Yunshuo had never seen Du Ruo like this.

No matter whether he was ignorant or full of vigor and vitality in the past, Du Ruo had never been like this before.

She seemed to have been smoothed out by the wind and frost, and finally learned to be obedient and sensible as he said.

But she is like this...

"Get up!"

"Master, I can't get up unless you help me!"

Du Ruo saw the reality and her own position clearly. She had no support or capital at all to ask Cheng Yunshuo to do anything for her.

If she doesn’t have it, then she’ll beg!

In short, she will no longer act silly and meaninglessly like before.

She has learned her lesson.

Seeing her like this, Cheng Yunshuo felt very uncomfortable. The sound of bangs fell and hit his heart. His tightly pursed lips began to loosen. Just when Cheng Yunshuo was about to respond, a gentle voice came.

"Sir, why are you still here?"

Bixi came out of Bishui Garden. She was wearing a pink dress, a new dress for concubines when they came home.

"Isn't this Aunt Du? Aunt Du, what are you doing? If you have something to say, please talk to her nicely." Bixi came forward gracefully.

With Bixi's words, Cheng Yunshuo also said, "Hurry up and talk."

"My Lord, please ask the imperial physician to save my aunt!" Du Ruo knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, Bixi frowned and said, "Auntie Du, you are not begging the Lord, but forcing him! Bixi is of low status and knows that I should not say anything, but I came from the palace after all. How can ordinary people hire an imperial physician? If outsiders knew about this, they would scold the prince! The prince's reputation has been bad recently. If he gets into trouble again, I'm afraid the Marquis's Mansion will be implicated! Auntie Du, please don't make things difficult for the prince anymore."

Bixi's words closed Cheng Yunshuo's heart, which had finally been loosened. He looked at Du Ruo, who was kneeling on the ground and looking like she was trying to control him. He said coldly, "Just now I said you were sensible, but now it seems that you haven't improved at all! Someone, hurry up and take Aunt Du away!"

Du Ruo, who was lying on the ground, thought that she would no longer feel heartbroken, but after hearing Cheng Yunshuo's words, her heart was hit hard and uncontrollably.

With this punch, all her fantasies and all the beauty disappeared.

At this moment, she no longer had any illusions.

Many things flashed through her mind, and she once again thought of what Lu Lingyun had told her: nothing is more important than herself.

So, that’s what it meant.

Du Ruo suddenly laughed.

The servants pulled her, but she pushed them all away and got up from the ground. The moment she got up, she wiped away her last tears. Du Ruo looked at Cheng Yunshuo with a determined look on her face, "Master, this is the last time I will call you this. I was confused in the past, and I admit my confusion. So from now on."

"We will never meet again in this life or death!"

Her aunt once said that her Aruo was a chivalrous woman.
