Chapter 190
Luo Yining asked the maid to wait there. She pulled her cloak tightly around her. The wind blew into her body and penetrated through the seam of her neck, making her feel cold.
She walked forward, sighed, and whispered, "That's something you use to protect yourself, so you can't leave it with me."
Lu Jiaxue glared at her coldly, his tone light and smiling: "You are nothing but... hypocritical!"
Yesterday, he received the beads from Cheng Lang, and naturally, he was angry. How could he not be angry? Back then, he half-knelt before her and handed the beads to her, simply hoping that she would be safe. Now, returning it to him, wasn't it just to sever the ties between them?
Lu Jiaxue insisted on coming to see her today, and he practically barged in despite the Luo family guards' obstruction. Therefore, someone from the Luo family quickly ran to the Wucheng Bingmasi to call for help.
But how could the Five Cities Army dare to do anything to Lu Jiaxue?
"If you don't want it, forget it. Why bother returning it?" he said coldly, suddenly approaching her. Her white jade earrings swayed slightly in the twilight. Her eyes were lowered, and the light of the newly lit lamp seemed to be shrouded in silence.
"It's fine to throw it away. Since I've already given it to you, do you think I still want it?" Lu Jiaxue sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the bead fell into the snowy field beside him. As dusk fell, it was impossible to see where it fell.
Luo Yining watched him throw something out. It was another string of wooden beads, falling silently.
Luo Yining wanted to laugh and looked at him coldly: "Lu Jiaxue, are you used to being overbearing and do you think others must listen to you?"
Her tone was surprisingly harsh as she spoke slowly, "I returned to the capital after being abducted by you to Jinling. Do you think there's no gossip about me? Do you think it's fun for me to wander around while pregnant? I'm now the wife of the Luo family. What will others think of you coming to see me like this?"
、
"It's just like back then in the Lu family. I had to befriend Xie Min and survive among the other wives. My family background was the humblest, I couldn't even hold my head up high. Do you know how difficult that was?" She walked towards him step by step, her tone becoming increasingly sharp. "Back then, you were cynical, living a life of debauchery outside... Don't explain, I know you didn't do anything back then! But do you know how others saw me? - That fourth wife of Lu, her husband was out drinking and listening to music, and she didn't dare say a word. How pitiful!"
Luo Yining finally spoke out what had been suppressed in her heart for so many years, and her tone was very sarcastic.
Lu Jiaxue stared at her, then walked closer and asked calmly, "So you chose Luo Shenyuan now, right?"
"It's not me who chose him," Luo Yining said. "Don't treat me like the Luo Yining of the past. I'm not with him because of this..."
"Luo Yining, don't come begging me on your knees again!" Lu Jiaxue grabbed her chin, as if furious, but his strength was still weak. He sneered, "Do you think Luo Shenyuan is a good guy? The woman I gave him, did you even know about her existence? Do you think he's hiding something from you?"
Luo Yining was furious, but she couldn't pry his hands open. Fortunately, no one could see from her angle.
Then he suddenly let go, and Luo Yining staggered.
Lu Jiaxue took a deep breath to calm his anger, his hands behind his back. After all these years, he was still provoked by her.
"I'm crazy, that's why I've liked you for so many years." Lu Jiaxue said this and left without even looking at her.
Zhenzhu came over to help her, but saw Luo Yining's shoulders shaking and her eyes red. Zhenzhu said anxiously, "Miss, why are you crying? It's the Marquis who's being too harsh. He clearly knows you're already married..."
When Pearl gets anxious, she will call her "Miss".
"He has always been that way..." Luo Yining wiped his eyes and calmed down.
The lantern light was quiet, and she managed to calm down. She ordered Daimao over and said, "Call a few maids to help...find the beads."
Lu Jiaxue threw something away, but she still wanted to find it for him.
Sometimes I feel like he hasn't changed in all these years. He's still so unreasonable. He believes it's for your own good, and no one can change that!
Zhenzhu helped Luo Yining back to rest. She whispered, "Madam, how did you know someone was saying something bad about you..." It was clear that the elders had isolated her from the outside world, to prevent her from being hurt by the rumors. They had also carefully instructed them, even the lady, not to mention it.
"I'm not stupid." Luo Yining smiled faintly. "If I were truly a chaste and virtuous woman, and I were kidnapped like this, I would have hanged myself to show my resolve. Do you think I don't know what they're saying in private? You can guess; they're eager for my death."
Didn't she occasionally hear the whispers of the maids and what her sisters-in-law and sisters said?
"But I don't want to die either..." She said persistently and grabbed Zhenzhu's hand, "I still have Bao Ge'er. I haven't done anything wrong... Why should I die?" She murmured almost to herself.
Just pretend you didn’t hear what they said. It’s as if you can’t hear it and those voices no longer exist.
She just doesn't want to die, but she always gets scolded.
Pearl didn't know why she started crying too. Chan supported her and said, "Yes, why do you care what they do..."
Under the lamplight, the master and servant slowly walked back to Jiashu Hall. Bao'er, held by his nurse, slept in a cloak. Having just woken, he rubbed his eyes with his small, fleshy hands. Daimao wrung out a warm handkerchief and handed it to Yining, who wiped the little one's face. The little one initially ducked, but when he opened his eyes and saw it was his mother, he leaned into her arms.
