"What nonsense are you talking about? If I had known that you had also made meritorious deeds, why would my mother be so patient with Xia Yunxian? She thought she was the one who rescued you!"
Mrs. Liu immediately remembered that Xia Yunxian had forced her to admit her mistake before, and now all her anger was revealed!
"Did the Crown Prince have some reasons why Bai Yujing forced you to do this? Has the Crown Prince forgotten how my sister treated us these days? She held onto the food and refused to save her, and she also spoke rudely to you and the old lady!"
Looking at Jiang Ruyan's sad expression, Liu Chengyu's eyes had no warmth.
"My prince only remembers that Yunxian has been self-sufficient and guarded the family all these years. On the contrary, we, the children of the Liu family, were ungrateful. She was heartbroken and gave up. Now I want to make it up to her."
make up?
Jiang Ruyan's mind went blank for an instant. What did he mean by this, and who was he? !
Mrs. Liu suddenly understood that the prince must have been forced by the situation. Xia Yunxian was now so respected by the old princess and Liang Guogong. Even if he had made meritorious service, he would still need the support of Pingnan Prince's Palace and Duke Guogong's Palace in the future!
"Then, just let her keep part of it..." Even so, Mrs. Liu still wanted to fight for it, but she was retracted by Liu Chengyu's glare.
Seeing how determined he was, Jiang Ruyan almost bit her lower lip until it bled, but with so many pairs of eyes around her looking at her, she could only bear the breath.
As night fell, a sneaky figure quietly came to Liu Chengyu's house.
"How is it? Is she still in perfect condition?"
"As for the prince, the lady has just finished washing, and I can see clearly that the lady's guard sand is still there!"
The person who spoke was actually Aunt Zhang in Luoxueyuan. Only then did the coldness in Liu Chengyu's eyes fade away, and he casually placed a silver ingot in her palm.
"If Madam behaves strangely, please inform me immediately."
"Slave, you obey!"
Aunt Zhang was so happy that she hid the reward money in her waist, covered her mouth and retreated.
Sure enough, Xia Yunxian didn't have the guts to do anything sorry for him. Otherwise, how could he continue to perform this scene with a pair of worn-out shoes!
Liu Chengyu's eyes flashed with an obscure dark light. He suddenly caught a glimpse of the bowl of tea brought by Aunt Lei on the table. The bright red soup swayed under the candlelight. His expression suddenly changed, and he retched uncontrollably. stand up.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the broken limbs and broken arms scattered on the ground in the prison. On the stone walls and under the soles of his feet, thick and black blood accumulated, and his nose was filled with a disgusting fishy smell.
For the first time, he had a profound understanding of what endless hell is. If the mysterious master had not come to help again, would he be hanging on the torture frame now, letting those cold daggers fall on him one after another?
Thinking of this, Liu Chengyu felt a little suffocated, and his eyes became slightly bloodshot.
Only then did he realize that those officials were ordered by Bai Yujing!
Liu Chengyu was originally unwilling to admit that with his current connections and power, it was impossible to fight against him!
"Anyway, the eldest son has no other abilities. My master doesn't need you to sacrifice your life. As long as you treat Xia Yunxian well and make her unable to leave you, the job of coaxing women is not a problem for the eldest son, right?"
The mysterious adult seemed to know everything about him. Although he was unwilling to do so, Liu Chengyu knew that he had no choice.
Either he will be played to death by Bai Yujing, or he will be used by that mysterious master and use his power to compete with Bai Yujing!
He doesn't care about being someone else's pawn, as long as he has the last laugh, he is the real winner!
Liu Chengyu finally managed to catch his breath, but he saw a figure standing at the door at some point, showing him the way he had just lost control.
"What are you doing here?!"
His expression immediately turned ferocious, and then the other party came back to his senses and came forward aggrievedly, "Ruyan made a bowl of tea to calm the prince's shock..."
There was a crash, and Liu Chengyu knocked the porcelain bowl in her hand to the ground, "Did you see it all?"
Jiang Ruyan's hands were trembling a little, and the man in front of her felt strange.
How she wished she had seen nothing!
Just now, the always high-spirited prince of the Hou family seemed to be shrouded in a shadow of fear, his eyes filled with madness and trembling, and his face turned pale from vomiting, like a timid and crazy mouse.
"R-Ruyan, I wonder what you can do for the Crown Prince?"
"Shut up! Are you pitying me?" Liu Chengyu's expression seemed as if he wanted to eat her. "Who allowed you to come to this courtyard without my permission?"
Jiang Ruyan's heart trembled. At this moment, she completely understood that Liu Chengyu's calmness in front of everyone was all fake. What had he experienced in prison to make him become so terrible.
Since being sent to the old lady's courtyard, it took a long time for the two of them to get close to each other. There were too many outsiders during the day, and she finally managed to endure it until dark, wanting to give Liu Chengyu some pillow air.
She was just too impatient!
She wanted to know what Liu Chengyu's plans were. She had managed to hold on until now, and finally things were clear, but his thoughts were becoming more and more unpredictable!
"Ruyan really couldn't worry about the prince, so..."
"Are you worried about me, or are you unable to let go of the power of running the family?" Unexpectedly, Liu Chengyu had no patience. Instead, he smiled contemptuously, and suddenly reached out and pinched her chin!
Jiang Ruyan was startled, feeling as if her bones were about to be crushed by him, and the pain made her burst into tears immediately.
"S-Sir?"
"Yan'er, since I still have some friendship for you, don't try to manipulate me anymore. If there is a next time, just take the bags you have already packed in the house and get out of the Marquis Mansion!"
He coldly shook Jiang Ruyan away and looked down at the embarrassed woman on the ground.
I didn't know before that her face was so ugly!
This experience made him sober up a lot. Personal relationships between children are the most useless. They are just about getting what they need.
If you want to be successful in the future, what kind of woman do you want?
Jiang Ruyan's pupils shrank, did he already know? !
As soon as the news spread that Liu Chengyu was in jail, everyone thought that he would not escape, so Jiang Ruyan spent the whole night preparing for the worst.
But why is she still in the Hou Mansion?
It's not because I can't bear to leave Liu Chengyu, but...
He didn't have much anger towards Jiang Ruyan's betrayal. Looking at that panicked little face, he had already understood everything, "It's just that now you have nothing. Where else can you go except to cling to my son?"
…
"Did you see clearly? Jiang Ruyan really came out of the prince's courtyard?"
Wen Shi looked at the bamboo leaves in front of her in surprise, and the maid nodded swornly, "It's absolutely true, madam, could we be wrong? Jiang Ruyan is not the second master's eldest son, but..."
"Oh, you are too naive. The prince will soon have a bright future. Instead of counting on Liu Chengshan, who has no hope of success, it is better to turn to the prince. There is no shame in vain bitches like them!"
That’s right!
Liu Chengshan would never have imagined in his wildest dreams that his wife would have such dirty thoughts.
Thinking of the slap she received from Liu Chengyu today, Wen was filled with dissatisfaction.
She really wanted to see if the two brothers would turn against each other over a bitch!
A glimmer of amusement flashed across Wen's eyes, "Tell me, do you want me to help Jiang Ruyan?"
