Chapter 55 The Reason for Being Angry
The moment the two looked at each other, it seemed as if a hundred thousand volts of electricity was running through them.
The people around them covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
Luo Xifeng turned sideways, facing her, and suddenly bent down. His other hand lightly gathered the loose hair that fell from her forehead, his fingertips resting half an inch from her earlobe. He spoke softly, "Madam, please don't be angry with me anymore, okay? It was your husband who did something wrong. Please forgive me."
Luo Xifeng stood in the moonlight, her eyelashes stained with fine golden light, her lips curved in a very shallow arc, the frost and snow under her eyes melted into spring water, the ripples on the water made people feel itchy in their hearts.
Chu Yangyang was stunned for a moment.
She had never seen Luo Xifeng so gentle. Although his face was usually gentle and peaceful, the depths of his eyes were always terrifyingly cold.
Especially the murderous look towards her, which frightened her the moment she saw it.
To others, Chu Yangyang looked dazed, like a foolish young lady, looking at her lover with deep affection.
Aunt Wang smiled and joked, "Oh, Doctor Luo and Madam Luo are truly a couple who are in love with each other. They are a perfect match made in heaven."
"Mrs. Luo, please forgive Dr. Luo for his sincere apology."
"Yeah, it's not like everything goes smoothly for a couple. Just make peace with each other."
The people around also joined in the fun.
Chu Yangyang's noisy voice brought her back to her senses, and she struggled to break free from Luo Xifeng's hand.
She would never be so foolish as to think that he was truly in love with her or that he was sincerely apologizing.
He was just acting.
She firmly believes it.
"Come here." She lowered her head and gritted her teeth in his ear.
He raised his head and looked at everyone, then immediately smiled again, "You guys take a break first. I have something to say to Doctor Luo."
"Oh, Madam Luo is shy."
"Stop talking about that, Aunt Zhang. The girl is thin-skinned, unlike an old woman like you who is very thick-skinned."
Chu Yangyang's face gradually became hot, and she grabbed Luo Xifeng and walked into the inner room.
The two of them arrived at the deserted inner room. Chu Yangyang immediately shook off his hand, "Luo Xifeng, what are you doing? Acting like a loving couple? What's your purpose?"
Luo Xifeng looked innocent, "Madam Luo, I really want to apologize. Aren't you angry with me?"
Chu Yangyang rolled her eyes to the sky, "Stop it."
She tried her best to suppress the chaotic thoughts in her heart, "I'm angry, do you care?"
It seemed that this one sentence had stumped Luo Xifeng. He frowned, as if asking himself whether he really cared whether she was angry or not.
It was true that I wanted to apologize just now, and it was also true that I wanted to show the deep love between husband and wife in front of everyone.
He didn't know which idea prevailed, nor did he want to know.
He made up an excuse for himself, "I just don't want any rift to arise between us, because we still need to work together to find out the truth about the Luo family, and we should build mutual trust."
When Chu Yangyang heard this reason, she couldn't help but smile. That's right.
This is Luo Xifeng, who is always careful and deliberate in everything and never wastes time. He is the most outstanding Prime Minister of Dai Viet Kingdom in the future.
"In that case, I will tell you why I am angry."
Luo Xifeng raised his eyebrows, looking as if he was listening attentively.
Chu Yangyang took a half step back and leaned against the mahogany medicine cabinet. The strong aroma of angelica, wrapped in her heartbeat, hit her nostrils. "Although in this era, there is a clear distinction between the superior and the inferior, the laws of Daiyue also stipulate that anyone guilty of murder shall be sentenced to death. I hope that Lord Luo can respect the meaning of life."
Luo Xifeng looked at her, thinking about the meaning behind her words.
The two were silent for a moment, and Luo Xifeng suddenly realized, "Because I want to kill you?"
Chu Yangyang shook her head, and their eyes met again. "It's Xiao Cui. I don't know Lord Luo's views on life and death. I can't understand how he can be so indifferent to someone's death. He talks about fighting and killing all day long, and kills people as if it's like crushing an ant. I can't understand it even more."
"Indifference?" Luo Xifeng suddenly laughed out loud, as if he had heard some huge joke from her mouth.
"My princess, your memory has been quite poor recently. You seem to have forgotten what you did."
He suddenly stepped forward, lifted her wrist, his brow sharp as a knife, and asked, "How much blood has been stained on these hands, princess? Do you know?"
"But I'm not her!"
Chu Yangyang blurted out.
Luo Xifeng narrowed his eyes, "What did you say?"
Chu Yangyang opened her mouth, then silently closed it again. After a while, she said, "I mean, the Chu Yangyang of the past is dead. I've realized long ago that I'm no longer the same person I used to be."
Chu Yangyang's throat tightened, and the original owner's memories crawled up her spine like a poisonous snake. The maid who was beaten to death was curled up in the snow, her intestines that were dug out were emitting pink and white hot steam, and the pearl on her hairpin was dripping with human blood.
I don’t know how crazy the princess was in the past.
When it comes to disregarding life, she is the first culprit.
But Chu Yangyang is not her, and she will not bear the punishment for her.
Luo Xifeng grabbed her wrist and didn't let go, pressing his fingertips against her beating pulse. "Who would believe such words?"
"One day, I will make you believe me." Chu Yangyang looked straight into his eyes and twisted his restraints hard.
The perilla leaves drying outside the window were blown by the wind, and mottled light and shadows passed across Chu Yangyang's face, which was flushed with anger.
The white mist rising from the medicine furnace blurred their faces. Chu Yangyang turned and left. A faint voice came from behind her, "I'll go back home first."
Luo Xifeng stared at her leaving figure, lost in deep thought.
He had to admit that she had really changed.
It was like another soul was poured into my body, and my thoughts and behaviors changed.
How it became, he thought again.
Become... He no longer dislikes her.
Even a little bit...
He couldn't describe the feeling.
Looking at the crescent moon in the starry sky, Luo Xifeng unconsciously hurried to catch up, and only slowed down when he was side by side with Chu Yangyang.
"It's so late, I'll take you home."
"No need to trouble Lord Luo."
"I'm afraid that my father-in-law will see you going back alone, and I'm not here, so I won't be able to explain." He immediately thought of a reason.
Chu Yangyang suddenly stopped, pursed her lips and looked at him with contempt in her eyes.
After two breaths, Chu Yangyang turned around and said coldly, "Whatever you say."
On the way back, Miao Yun clearly felt the extremely depressing atmosphere in the carriage.
She didn't dare to breathe, for fear of becoming cannon fodder.
She had seen the princess's extreme anger.
Secretly looking at Luo Xifeng, Miao Yun felt for the only time that her son-in-law should say something at this moment.
She could sense that the princess had recently taken a special liking to her brother-in-law.
Unfortunately, Luo Xifeng had his eyes closed and did not see her cry for help.
They soon arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Chu Yangyang got off the car first, followed closely by Luo Xifeng.
Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister's Mansion was brightly lit, as if something important had happened.
Chu Yangyang frowned and asked Miaoyun, "What day is today?"
Miao Yun replied, "June 28th."
"Yeah." Chu Yangyang looked towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The plot of the original book was still progressing steadily, and this time she was facing another fierce battle.
Chu Yangyang said to her mother, the dowry nanny, who was walking towards her anxiously, "Nanny Leng, you've come just in time. Please get something for me."
