The sound of the rain was like a small piece of music, moving one's heart.
Listening quietly, however, made one's heart grow more and more sorrowful.
Tears welled up in her eyes. Thinking of her own viciousness when she fell into the water, and the weight of her remorse, she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
Faintly looking out of the window at the drizzling rain and swaying branches, Cui Er came in. She seemed to think that she had gone to sleep, so she went out again, leaving her wandering in the dark room by herself.
It was unknown how long he had been watching for, but in his trance, a person had already appeared in front of his bed.
Even if she could not see his face clearly, she still knew that he was Ximen Ruixue. The aura unique to him was something that other men did not have, and it was something she could not learn from. Thus, she often thought that if others were to disguise themselves as him, she would be able to recognize him instantly.
Silently, Ruo Ruo didn't even dare to breathe. She must have thought that she was asleep.
"Ruo'er, why are you so stupid?" She was just thinking whether she had misheard when she realised that she had not misheard. She had heard him call out to Ruo'er with her own ears, and that that wasn't Xi'er or Lan'er, nor was it any other woman's name. It was the name Qin Zhiruo.
His body slowly leaned forward, and the strong scent from his nose assaulted her face, but she did not dare to move.
With half squinting eyes, Xi Men Rui Xue, who was in front of Ye Zichen, laid down beside her.
One day, he was so close to her, so close that it reminded her of the two times when their skin had made contact. The next moment, she couldn't help but blush and feel her heart palpitate.
She wanted to resist, but she did not dare to move. She did not know why, but at this moment, she did not want him to know that she was still awake.
His body was already pressed against his broad chest, and he made her heart start beating wildly. Heavens, she swore that as long as she was hugged by him like this and kept lying down, she would definitely go crazy.
That would be too hard.
However, Xi Men Rui Xue did not have the slightest intention to let go of her. She embraced him and he laid down beside her calmly. It was as if he wanted to sleep together with her.
Wu, this is just like being punished, if I really don't know how long I can last.
He just lay there silently, hoping that time would pass faster before he left.
I really don't understand him. All the women in this palace belong to him, so why does he want none of them?
Fatigue, also more sleepless sleep, always come with a slight pain under the body, the child is gone, that is a kind of torture.
He laid there quietly for around ten minutes. Just when he thought that he would fall asleep just like that, just when he was about to force himself to do so, his other hand moved stealthily to her face. His fingers caressed the dried up tear stains on her face and he said: "Idiot, stop crying, tell me, was that child truly made by Yun Ru Xi?"
This question scared Zhiruo silly, how did he guess it?
There was no response, and she didn't even dare to breathe. She held her breath as she heard him say, "She already has a child. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
If she told him what to do, then that child wouldn't necessarily be his, it was very likely that it was that beggar. When the time came, she would be even more embarrassed as she wouldn't want to see Yun Ru Xi arrogantly walk in front of her and say: "Qin Zhiruo, look, you're pregnant with a beggar. Tell me, what if this child doesn't want it?"
No, she did not want to suffer that kind of torture, so she had never thought of letting a third person know about the child. But now that the child was gone, everyone in the palace knew about it.
"Do you know? I thought about it one day, and I went to see her. She said that she really did not do it on purpose, and she said that you pulled her into the pool with you, and Yi Ruo, Cui'er said that you did not even call for help when you fell into the water. Or do you not want the child at all? "
His every word shocked her to the point that her whole body was covered in cold sweat. Xi Men Rui Xue was like a psychiatrist. She had guessed everything with absolute certainty.
In a panic, he listened with his hands covered in sweat that stuck to his skin. However, he started to speak again, "Zhiruo, do you want to see that beggar? If you want, can I arrange for you to meet him? "
His voice was very soft, but it aroused Ruo Ruo's curiosity. His gentle voice made her forget that she was just pretending to be asleep. She unexpectedly replied, "Okay."
The hand holding her suddenly tightened, "Ruo Ruo, you really want to see him?"
"Ah …" "No …" She was possessed, how could she have answered him? Now that it was over, she had to answer him whenever he spoke.
"You just said that, didn't you?"
"Xi Men Rui Xue, let go of me first. It will be hard for you to even breathe while hugging me."
"Not at all." The domineering strength that Xi Men Rui Xue had was back.
"Didn't you like Yun Ru Xi? She fell into the water too, you should have gone to accompany her. I don't need you to stay here, I don't want to see you either." Thinking of how merciless he had been to her in the carriage, her heart ached painfully.
"Ruo Ruo, I said that I want you to believe me. Do you remember?"
She shook her head, "Ximen Ruixue, what can you take to make me believe you?"
"Wait, I brought someone to meet you." As he spoke, he unexpectedly loosened his grip on her, and gracefully rose to his feet. When he left her, his warmth followed. The feeling of emptiness that accompanied him caused her to suddenly feel somewhat dejected. She didn't say anything, waiting to see what he wanted to do.
He walked out of her room, leaving only one room for her.
I wonder what he wants to do? I wonder who he's bringing? Some even suspected that he just found a place and left, never to return.
Heh heh, she must have turned silly. He was simply putting on another show. He was trying to trick her into listening to everything he just said.
Perhaps he already knew that she wasn't asleep at all.
God, it was only when she thought of this that she realized she might have walked into the trap he had set for her.
Just as she was hesitating, there was a rustling at the door, as if deliberately trying to attract her attention.
Ruo Ruo raised her head and looked over. A candle flame instantly lit up the room. Although it was not as bright as the modern sunlight, it was enough to see the person in front of her clearly.
To be exact, it was a man.
Ruo Ruo was stunned.
That head of white hair, that appearance, and that stooped figure was precisely the beggar who bought her the whole night at the Fragrance Pavilion.
Her hands were twisted by the horn, she panicked, "Don't... "Don't come over." She said she wanted to see it, but when she did, she panicked as she couldn't remember what happened that night.
She was afraid to see this beggar. She was really afraid. That was her nightmare for life.
However, the beggar holding the candle did not stop, he soon arrived in front of the bed, one step at a time.
The candle flame shone even more clearly on him.
But now that he was so close, Ruo Ruo discovered that he didn't smell even the slightest bit of filth that should have belonged to the beggar.
However, there was a fragrance emanating from his body, "You …" "You …" Ruo Ruo was stunned.
That was not sandalwood, it really was not sandalwood, that was the smell of agarwood.
She really didn't think that things would turn out like this.
Yes, when the beggar appeared that night, she did not see Xi Men Rui Xue.
But before that happened, he was still in the Fragrant Pavilion, lying on another woman's bed and kissing her lips …
Upon thinking of this, Zhiruo trembled all over. "Impossible, impossible. Ximen Ruixue, you lied to me. You lied to me."
"Yes, I lied to you. I lied to you, that's not me. But, you're wrong, that's me." The elderly voice sounded like it belonged to the beggar who was shouting 560,000 yuan in front of the booth.
The person in front of him made it impossible for him to associate him with Xi Men Rui Xue.
"Why?" Trembling, she hurriedly asked, she really didn't understand.
"Because of the snow grass, if the beggar did not torture you that night and Yun Ruoxi did not hand over the snow grass, then your poison would not be cured. Idiot, why can't you believe me? Why did you want to kill our child with your own hands? " All of his tests made him understand that Qin Zhi didn't want the child to live at all. She already knew that she was pregnant, but the child was the first in his life and the only one he wanted a woman to have. So he never used any drugs on her.
However, they didn't expect that the only woman he gave them the privilege of killing their children with his own hands.
At this moment, if she were to look at him, Xi Men Rui Xue really wanted to strangle her.
He didn't know if this was love, but he had never liked Qin Zhiruo before. He didn't like her at all, and every time he went to Qin Manor, he only wanted to tease her.
Or perhaps it was her initial change that attracted his attention.
He thought that if he let her leave, she definitely wouldn't return to the Qin Residence, but would absolutely elope with Qin Zhiqing.
But she didn't.
She chose to let him send her back to Qin Manor.
This aroused his curiosity.
The second shock she brought him was the chili concoction.
He was clearly being played by her for a whole night, but he actually couldn't hate her.
It was also from that night onwards that she had thoroughly aroused his curiosity.
