Chapter 258 Aunt Du Ruo Died

Du Ruo turned and left without hesitation.

The moment she left, a dazzling light burst out from her whole body.

She stands so tall, so alive, so dazzling.

She is not perfect, she has her flaws, but she also has her own pride. She is not Xing Dairong, she is not anyone's substitute, she is braver than her.

Lu Lingyun said she didn't have the courage to face reality, so she told her.

She can.

For the rest of my life, death and life will never meet again.

She no longer sought Cheng Yunshuo's love, she loved herself.

Her upright back suddenly caught Cheng Yunshuo's eyes.

It was like a heavy punch hitting Cheng Yunshuo's heart.

At this moment, Cheng Yunshuo was truly attracted to her, and he felt the heartache belatedly.

He just remembered it now.

He had a different feeling towards Aruo from the beginning.

He always thought that Du Ruo was like Xing Dairong and treated her as a substitute, but at this moment, he realized it.

She is Du Ruo. She has never been anyone's substitute, and she also calls him stunning.

"Aru..."

Cheng Yunshuo called her name and felt as if something very important had left him again.

"grown ups."

Bixi's voice rang out beside him. Bixi said to him softly, "Mrs. Du is probably in a bad mood. Go and comfort her. Although today is Bixi's wedding day, don't worry, Bixi."

When Cheng Yunshuo heard her words, he stopped himself from chasing after Du Ruo. He looked at Du Ruo's disappearing back and said for a long time, "Forget it."

Maybe she was really in a bad mood and said those words angrily, but she would be fine tomorrow. Or, maybe she wouldn't need him to comfort her tomorrow, but it would still be in time.

That night, Du Ruo's aunt died of illness.

When the news reached the mansion, Lu Lingyun was just about to go to bed. She heard a noise outside and could not help but put on her clothes and sit up. "What happened?"

"Madam, Aunt Du's aunt just passed away." Chun Xing pushed the door open and came in. "After Aunt Qiu and Aunt Ling found out, they said they wanted to go see Aunt Du."

Lu Lingyun thought for a moment and said, "Let them go. Prepare a carriage and some funeral gifts and send them over together."

"yes."

Chun Xing was about to leave the room, and Lu Lingyun asked again, "Where is the prince? Does he know?"

"I have notified the people at Bishuiyuan, but the maids there said that the prince has already gone to bed, so we can talk about it tomorrow."

"That maidservant is just talking nonsense. Xiaowei just went over to tell them that the light inside was on. The prince is still working!"

Lu Lingjun frowned slightly. The maids and servants of Bishuiyuan were brought in from the outer courtyard by Bixi.

Not from this house.

"Forget it. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

After Lu Lingyun finished speaking, he continued to lie down and rest.

Outside the door, Qiu Ling and Ling Long got permission and chased them away while cursing.

"That new Li Bixi is a bad vixen! It's obvious that she was the one who concealed the news. She kept the lights on in her room, and she kept the prince in her courtyard to keep the news!"

"Auntie Du's aunt is just like her own mother. Auntie Du is a concubine after all. Her own mother died, but she didn't even let the prince know. How petty and vicious she is!"

Qiu Ling and Ling Long naturally favored Du Ruo more. They brought the gifts that Lu Lingyun had brought over and hurried over to comfort Du Ruo.

When Du Ruo learned that the news of her aunt's death was blocked outside Yuerong Pavilion and everyone in the Manhou Mansion except Cheng Yunshuo knew about it, she suddenly laughed at herself.

"Auntie Du, don't be too sad. The prince was just deceived for a moment. If he knew your aunt had passed away tomorrow morning, he would definitely come here."

"Yes, the prince is not a heartless person. He has you in his heart."

Du Ruo laughed even louder at himself after hearing these words.

Qiu Ling and Ling Long thought that Du Ruo was just too sad, so they hurried to comfort her.

Only Du Ruo herself knows.

At first, she had posted the news of Xing Dairong's death outside the brothel, preventing Cheng Yunshuo from seeing that woman for the last time.

Now, another woman has blocked the news of her loved one's death so that he will never come again.

The law of karma is indeed cause and effect.

The arrow that was shot at that time hit him right between the eyebrows without moving.

Du Ruo smiled, cried, and burned paper. "I have paid it back, I have paid it back."

“I don’t owe you anything.”

the next day.

When Cheng Yunshuo woke up early in the morning, he learned about the death of Aunt Du Ruo last night.

After hearing the news, he was stunned at first, and then got angry, "Why didn't anyone tell me last night!"

Newly married Bixi looked at Cheng Yunshuo with a pair of spring water eyes, "My lord, it's my fault. I told the servants yesterday that my lord has been tired for a few days. Please don't disturb my lord tonight."

After she said this, Cheng Yunshuo only glanced at her. When he saw a face that was almost identical to Xing Dairong's, he suppressed his temper, quickly put on his clothes, and ran out while holding his clothes, "Hurry up and prepare the horses! Let's go to Aunt Du Ruo's house!"

Bixi, lying on the bed, looked at the anxious Cheng Yunshuo, her brows furrowed and her eyes became deep.

Aunt Du holds a great position in Cheng Yunshuo's heart.

Of course it is not low.

Last night, as soon as Cheng Yunshuo closed his eyes, all he could think of was Du Ruo's resolute back and those words.

He tossed and turned all night, always feeling that he should have chased after her.

This morning, he finally made up his mind. No matter what, he would go and ask an imperial physician to take another look at Du Ruo's aunt.

But I didn't expect that the first thing I heard when I woke up was the news of Aunt Du Ruo's death.

It’s over, it’s over. If you delay one step, you will be delayed step by step.

He regretted it at this moment.

I really regret it.

Why didn't he agree last night!

If Du Ruo were still alive, her aunt would be the same as her mother, so what if he hired a royal physician for her!

He must have hurt Aruo's heart this time!

He really didn't care so much about Du Ruo before, but now he is really obsessed with her!

Cheng Yunshuo rushed to Aunt Du Ruo's house.

Unfortunately, Cheng Yunshuo did not meet Du Ruo.

In the main hall, Aunt Du Ruo's body was lying inside. Her children, grandchildren, and nephews were all busy in the house, wearing mourning clothes.

Du Yang saw Cheng Yunshuo, "Prince Cheng, you are here."

Cheng Yunshuo looked at the corpse in the middle, "Your aunt..."

"Alas, she left last night." Du Yang said with a heavy face.

Seeing his expression, Cheng Yunshuo immediately thought of the scene last night when Du Ruo knelt in front of him and begged him for help. For a moment, he felt extremely guilty, "It's my fault that I didn't invite a doctor for you..."

"Master Cheng, you are too kind. You have done your best for our family."

Cheng Yunshuo frowned and looked around. "Where's Aruo?"

"Aruo went to the temple outside the city to pray for her aunt and recite scriptures."

After hearing this, Cheng Yunshuo turned around and went outside the city to look for Du Ruo.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Du Yang hurriedly called out, "Are you going to look for Aruo, my Lord?"

"right."

Du Yang sighed, "My Lord, my sister is crazy again. She said she wants to stay in the temple for seven years to mourn my aunt. During these seven years, she will not see anyone and will not go out at all."

When Cheng Yunshuo heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
