Chapter 271 Conflict(1/2)
;
Rong Chenghan's heart suddenly tightened, and he held Liu Ruosi's hand harder.
"Ah Si, it's me, I'm back." Rong Chenghan lowered his voice and said, as if he was afraid of scaring Liu Ruosi.
Rong Chenghan called out twice, and Liu Ruosi's eyes gradually gained focus and really fell on Rong Chenghan. However, Liu Ruosi's eyes did not linger on Rong Chenghan, but turned to
He picked up the saber Rong Chenghan had placed in his hand.
Rong Chenghan noticed Liu Ruosi's gaze and hurriedly removed the sword from his hand and placed it somewhere where Liu Ruosi could not see it. Before Rong Chenghan went to the camp outside the city, he had discussed it with Liu Ruosi. At that time,
The two of them thought that the Su family would take advantage of Rong Chenghan's departure to find an opportunity to make things difficult for Liu Ruosi. The two of them also formulated a response strategy. However, even with such mental preparation, Rong Chenghan received a report from his confidants.
At that time, I was still really worried about Liu Ruosi.
Now that I see Liu Ruosi like this, my worry becomes even heavier. So what if I have made preparations? What if Liu Ruosi is smart? After all, Liu Ruosi has just entered the palace not long ago. He left, Liu Ruosi
If Si had to face Su and others alone, anything could happen.
Rong Chenghan did not think that Liu Ruosi was afraid of him or his sword. Rong Chenghan believed that Liu Ruosi must have suffered a lot at the hands of the Su family and suffered a lot of grievances before he showed such expression on his face.
Such a look appeared.
"Ah Si, I'm sorry, I came back late." Thinking like this, Rong Chenghan felt more and more distressed, so he simply sat on the couch and hugged Liu Ruosi into his arms.
Rong Chenghan was covered with armor. He came back from the military camp in a hurry, and he was still filled with cold air and murderous aura. Being held in his arms like this, Liu Ruosi did not feel so comfortable. However, Liu Ruosi still slowly
He buried his head in Rong Chenghan's arms.
At this moment, she has woken up from the overlap between past and reality.
Rong Chenghan, who was hugging him, was filled with murderous aura, but this anger and murderous intent were not directed at her. At this time, Rong Chenghan would never raise a knife against her. Rong Chenghan's
Anger and murderous intent have other goals.
It was because she was entangled in nightmares from her past life that she was temporarily confused.
There must be no chaos. Liu Ruosi secretly clenched her fist. Even if Rong Chenghan would raise the sword again, then the target should be someone else. Why did she marry into the palace? Isn't it just for this?
?!
"Cheng Han, I'm very scared." Liu Ruosi said softly.
"Ah Si, you have been wronged." When Rong Chenghan heard Liu Ruosi's words, it was like hearing the sounds of nature. He hurriedly raised Liu Ruosi's head slowly and saw tears shining in Liu Ruosi's eyes, but just like that
The deep-seated fear and hatred disappeared. His appearance finally comforted Liu Ruosi.
"It'll be good if you come back." Liu Ruosi looked at Rong Chenghan and said softly.
It was rare for Liu Ruosi to show such a weak and dependent side. Rong Chenghan felt hot in his heart and wished he could rub Liu Ruosi into his own flesh and blood. Protecting Liu Ruosi seemed to be his natural responsibility.
"Why is your hand injured? How is it injured? Are there any other injuries?" After hugging Liu Ruosi for a while, Rong Chenghan's mood calmed down slightly, and then he started to ask about Liu Ruosi's injury.
"It's... not a big deal." Even though Liu Ruosi said this, she still told Rong Chenghan everything that happened.
Rong Chenghan's eyebrows furrowed and his face became gloomy upon hearing this.
"That's unreasonable!" Rong Chenghan swung his fist and hit the couch hard.
"Perhaps, I should have listened to you then and gone back to my parents' house to stay for a few days." Liu Ruosi said.
"That can only be avoided for a while." This is what Liu Ruosi once said, but now it comes from Rong Chenghan's mouth, but it has a different meaning. "I can't always be by your side.
..." As long as Su and others have such thoughts in their hearts, they will always find opportunities to attack Liu Ruosi.
"I think the mother-in-law really doesn't like me. The mother-in-law has a good reputation and is very kind to the eldest concubine and the second sister-in-law. She is the only one who treats me like this..." Liu Ruosi said thoughtfully. "Maybe it's because of me...
…”
"No." Rong Chenghan interrupted Liu Ruosi, "It's not your fault. Even if you have many benefits, my mother-in-law will still not like you."
"Is it because the mother-in-law has a suitable person for you in her heart?" Liu Ruosi said. This sentence was hardly a question. It was a secret that everyone knew.
"No." A sneer appeared at the corner of Rong Chenghan's mouth. His dark eyes flashed coldly, "My mother-in-law doesn't like you just because you are my wife."
Liu Ruosi looked at Rong Chenghan puzzled.
"If he doesn't like me, he won't like you either." Although it is a recognized fact, this is the first time Rong Chenghan has said it in front of Liu Ruosi. "She loves Su Qi. She wants me to marry Su Qi.
It's just that my current status, in her eyes, is barely worthy of her niece, and I can bring benefits and dignity to her niece. And..."
When Rong Chenghan said this, he suddenly stopped talking.
"And what?" Liu Ruosi asked. She instinctively felt that what Rong Chenghan was about to say was of great significance.
"And...she has lived for her reputation as a virtuous person all her life." Rong Chenghan continued.
"Oh." It was rare for Rong Chenghan to say such inner thoughts, but Liu Ruosi felt that this was not what Rong Chenghan wanted to say just now, but she still listened carefully.
"She neglected her biological son and treated her stepson and concubine favorably. This is the original source of her virtuous reputation." Rong Chenghan's voice was cold and a little bit bitter. "She just didn't want to seek my fate for her niece.
, she will not treat you well. She will neglect you and treat you harshly, but treat the Crown Princess and her second sister-in-law leniently. This will further demonstrate her virtuousness."
"How could this happen?" Even though she had already had such a guess in her heart, Liu Ruosi still showed a shocked expression, and she did not pretend at all.
"Ah Si, of course you won't understand." Rong Chenghan said, adding in his heart that he didn't want Liu Ruosi to understand either.
"In short, you don't have to blame yourself...it's all because of me." Since the incident was caused by him, of course he had to end it.
Rong Chenghan sat with Liu Ruosi for a while, and after confirming that Liu Ruosi was really fine, he let go of Liu Ruosi.
"Asi, please rest for a while. I'll ask my mother-in-law to come in and accompany you."
"Chenghan, where are you going?" Liu Ruosi asked.
"I'll go and say a few words to my mother and concubine," Rong Chenghan said.
"Okay...she is your mother-in-law after all." Liu Ruosi did not stop Rong Chenghan, but just said.
"I know." Rong Chenghan carefully tucked Liu Ruosi's quilt, then picked up the saber, turned around and walked out.
After a while, Mrs. Liu Er came over to accompany Liu Ruosi.
"It's hard for Cheng Han to come back like this." Mrs. Liu Er sat beside Liu Ruosi's couch and said with emotion, "Asi, mother is telling you. No matter what happens to the princess or others, you must get along well with Cheng Han.
...Looking at the worried look on his face when he came in just now, he really puts you on the top of his heart and cares about you sincerely."
When Liu Ruosi heard what Mrs. Liu Er said, her eyes slowly turned to Mrs. Liu Er's face.
"Mom, how can you tell that he is worried? From what I see, he looks more like he wants to eat people!" Liu Ruosi's face looked a little confused.
"That's not because I'm worried about you, but because I'm angry with the person who made you feel wronged and hurt you." Mrs. Liu Er said matter-of-factly, "Didn't you see just now that the princess was so scared?"
Rong Chenghan fell into Mrs. Liu Er's eyes like that just now, but it turned out that there was such an explanation.
"Mom, is this how you see it?!"
"I'm not the only one who sees it this way." Mrs. Liu Er didn't notice anything strange about Liu Ruosi, "Everyone in this room can see it. Ah Si, don't you see it this way."
"I..." Liu Ruosi was speechless for a moment.
In Su's bedroom, Su was sitting on the bed, and Rong Chenghan was sitting at the table not far away. Everyone waiting in the room had already left, and only the two mother and son remained silent.
However, this silence was extremely painful for Su. Su was even prepared. If Rong Chenghan asked her, how should she answer. But Rong Chenghan didn't ask a word. This silent condemnation,
Su Shi was at a loss as to what to do and felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
"What did my mother and concubine promise me before I left?" After a long while, Rong Chenghan finally raised his head and looked directly at Su and asked. "I have never asked my mother and concubine for anything. Even though my father went to the north back then,
Death is my destiny, and I will not resent anyone. Mother and concubine must make me worse off than alive in order to be satisfied?"
There seemed to be two clusters of dark flames in Rong Chenghan's eyes, burning into Su's heart.
"You...you are my biological child, I was pregnant for ten months..."
"Because of this, my mother and concubine can treat me as they please. I accept my fate and have never complained about my mother and concubine. However, after I rescued my life from the pile of dead people, my life is no longer my mother's concubine's. Ah Si is
I married into the family, but Ah Si was not born to my mother-in-law. If my mother-in-law wants to treat Ah Si the same way she treats me, not only will the Liu family not agree, but I will not agree either."
"Cheng Han, you misunderstood me. I have never..."
"Concubine, I know your thoughts better than anyone else. I have made it clear to my concubine a long time ago. No matter what, even if you kill Ah Si, I will never marry the seventh sister."
Speaking of this, Rong Chenghan sneered, "If I don't hide it from my mother and concubine, not only the seventh sister, but even someone named Su, I will never want it."
"The mother-in-law should die as soon as possible. Ah Si is doing well, and we still have the bond of mother and son. If Ah Si has a problem, hehe," Rong Chenghan sneered twice, "I will never let go of harming her.
people!"
"You, you actually spoke to your mother and concubine like that." Su's eyes were filled with shock, and her heart ached a little.
"Mother and Concubine, don't continue to force me. I will mention it to my father again and move out with Ah Si. I hope Mother and Concubine will not stop me anymore."
"No." Su shouted immediately, her eye circles turning red at the same time.
"My father has the final say on this matter." Rong Chenghan said, and then he said to Su, "Please mother and concubine to call in all the people who are serving you."
"What are you going to do?" Su asked.
Rong Chenghan didn't answer.
In the end, Su called everyone waiting outside the door in.
Rong Chenghan sat at the table, showing no anger or authority. His eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet Rong Chenghan's eyes.
