Chapter 116 She is just hard on the outside but soft on the inside
What did he do?
Su Ye felt embarrassed by her question and lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her directly.
"You, you know everything?" Su Ye asked guiltily.
"I know." Su Rui answered indifferently while choosing the red hairpin.
Su Ye hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to hurt you, I just...just...that Zhang guy tricked me, I was drunk and confused..."
"I'm not interested in hearing these details, you don't have to explain." Su Rui picked out the red hairpin and inserted it into her bun while interrupting Su Ye.
Now that she interrupted him, Su Ye didn't get angry. He just looked at her like a child who had done something wrong. After hesitating for a long time, he asked, "You know everything, then... then why didn't you tell the Dali Temple?"
The Dali Temple didn't even interrogate her, so what did she tell the Dali Temple?
Besides, she never intended to tell anything.
Ever since she saw Su Ye coming with the Yulin Guards to the eldest prince's private courtyard that day, Su Rui knew that he was involved.
But he is just a marginal chess piece, insignificant, and what he says can't influence anything.
At the beginning, the emperor wanted her dead and had no time to care about a small fry like Su Ye.
And then the emperor released her, so there was no need for Su Ye to care about it anymore.
But it seems that he has been in a state of panic these days. He has become much thinner, his face is gray, and his eyes are dark blue.
Su Rui didn't want to explain to him, so she just stood up and went out.
"Su Rui, are you afraid of being implicated..." Su Ye chased out, wanting to hold Su Rui's hand and ask for clarification.
But before he uttered the word "I" or touched Su Rui, a tall figure fell from the eaves and stood between them.
"Brother Zhuiyue, even if you have complaints about doing things for me now, please do it seriously. Don't let this kind of thing in again in the future."
Zhuiyue frowned awkwardly.
His master arranged for him to follow Su Rui, and he had some emotions in his heart, but as a secret guard trained since childhood, how could he not do his job seriously? That would only damage his own reputation.
He had seen Su Ye a long time ago, but he thought that they were siblings after all, and no matter how much they quarreled, it would still be a matter of bones being broken, so he did not intervene.
Who knew that he would be accused of dereliction of duty.
"Can't you talk to me in a way that's less harsh? Su Rui, I know you're just being stubborn..."
Su Ye said that he wanted to move forward. Zhuiyue, who had just been instructed, was already unhappy because of his wrong judgment. Now Su Ye wanted to move forward, so he drew his sword.
After all, he was a martial artist, so Su Ye could feel the evil spirit from Zhuiyue and knew that he was no match for him.
Watching Su Rui walk out of the yard and disappear, he could only glare at Zhuiyue and walk away in boredom.
On the way back, he figured it out.
Although Su Rui did not answer him directly, it must be what he thought.
She is just hard-mouthed but soft-hearted.
After all, they are siblings, and she must have been thinking of him, so she chose to protect him when she knew she was doomed to die.
But she was angry with him again.
She was angry that he didn't stand up to protect her like his father did, but it was useless for him to stand up, because Young Master Zhang was dead and there was no evidence to prove his guilt.
No, she must have blamed him for being deceived by Zhou Yao before, getting too close to Liang Shi and Zhou Yao, and treating her coldly.
"Yer!"
Just as he was thinking about it, Liang's voice rang out.
She walked quickly from the corridor and asked with concern: "Have you visited Rui'er? Is she okay?"
"She looks pretty..." He was about to respond normally, but suddenly realized that he was too nice to Liang, and immediately said impatiently, "Whether she's okay or not is none of your business. Just take care of Zhou Yao."
Liang Shi didn't expect Su Ye to speak to her like this. She was stunned for a moment before she asked in astonishment, "Ye'er, why do you speak to me like this?"
"You are not my mother." Su Ye turned his head away. Although he didn't want to admit it, that woman was indeed his mother. Even if she did something wrong, Su Rui recognized her, and he couldn't call Liang his mother anymore.
Liang didn't expect that Su Ye had changed so much in just a short while after going to Chaoyang Courtyard.
What did Su Rui say to him?
She had Su Ye brought back because she wanted him to make a fuss and see what Su Rui had up her sleeve, but the result was like this.
Liang wanted to pry Su Ye's mouth open, but it was useless now. She could only squeeze out a few tears and sob, "Yes, I am not your mother. Even though I have been in the mansion for many years, I can't replace my sister. I have never thought about it. Ye'er, you should know this, but what did Rui'er tell you?"
Thinking about how Su Rui had only said a few words to him, and not a single good word, and seeing Liang's pitiful and aggrieved look, and thinking about how good she had been to him over the years, it wouldn't be right to be too cold.
Unable to balance for a moment, I could only run away and said, "She didn't say anything. I'm tired, so I'll go back first."
Su Ye slipped away so quickly that Liang had no time to try to stop him.
Watching him disappear and then looking towards Chaoyang Courtyard, I felt even more uneasy.
"Madam, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on the eldest lady?" Mother Qian asked in a low voice.
Liang shook her head.
If Su Rui had someone around her, she would find out, and when she married into Prince Yong's mansion, she would be even more out of reach.
"Send someone to confirm whether Lin Chuan has left Beijing." As long as Lin Chuan cannot be caught and there is no actual evidence, even if Su Rui really knows something, there is nothing she can do to her.
…
The next day.
A large number of people gathered outside Xuanhua Gate early in the morning, with three layers inside and three layers outside. Everyone wanted to squeeze forward to see what the evil woman who made Yun Ji give up becoming a monk and was so infatuated with her that she even ignored her own nephew looked like.
“Here it comes! Here it comes!”
When they saw the carriage entering Xuanhua Gate, someone shouted excitedly.
Everyone's attention quickly focused on one place.
The carriage stopped outside the execution platform. Luo E lifted the curtain and Su Rui bent down and walked out.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she walked up to the execution platform.
The execution platform was originally built to allow people to clearly see the execution of the criminals, and it was ten feet above the ground.
Su Rui stood on it, and everyone could see her clearly.
She was only wearing a plain lotus-white dress today, without any hairpins or jewelry, and without any makeup.
But her gorgeous facial features are not affected at all, and even a glance from a distance will make the viewer stunned by her beauty.
The people who had never seen her had imagined her in many ways: like a man-eating goblin in a picture album, a delicate and charming lady in a scroll painting, or a charming and alluring courtesan in a brothel.
But when I saw this, all the guesses in my mind instantly became shattered.
Such beauty, unheard of.
Even if she just stood there so pure, she could feel the flowers blooming, competing with each other in beauty, and she was the most beautiful one.
In the sunshine, it looks like a peony, a peony, a camellia, and even a sunflower.
It does not seem like he is coming to be punished, but rather like he is coming to reward the people.
No wonder, no wonder Yun Ji was so bewildered.
Some people originally thought that Yun Ji was not strong-willed, but now they realize that it was because they had too little experience.
If I were in her place, I wouldn't be able to hold on for even a moment to such a beauty. Not to mention my nephew, I wouldn't even be able to care about my own life.
Originally envious of Su Rui for hooking up with Yun Ji and escaping death, many people now began to envy Yun Ji for having such good fortune.
On the higher platform further away, everyone around her was staring at Su Rui dressed so gorgeously. Chang Ning slapped Chen Youmin in the face with his backhand.
