Chapter 138 He Can't Say
Chapter 138 He Can't Say
Thinking of how she was so scared that her face turned pale and how she stabbed with the dagger without mercy, Xu Rui finally confirmed that she had nothing to do with Gulin.
It should be said that she had no good feelings towards the masked man, otherwise she would not be so scared and would not use a dagger.
But she was so scared just now, it must be that Gulin did something to her.
Thinking of certain possibilities, Xu Rui's face suddenly darkened. He grabbed her wrist tightly and his tone became colder. "Why did he come to you? What did he do to you?"
Jiang Xiyu tried to shake his hand off, but Xu Rui pushed harder and harder, frowning and saying, "Xu Rui, what are you doing? How do I know who he is? He only saw her give me two boxes of jewelry."
Xu Rui instantly became furious, "He... even gave you jewelry?"
This Gulin is really shameless.
Jiang Xiyu was speechless. She shook off his hand with force, stood up with a desperate look, and took the two boxes that the masked man had given her.
"He gave these to me. I don't know why he gave them to me, but they look very valuable."
Xu Rui's face turned even darker as he looked at the two boxes of extremely valuable jewels.
Given Gulin's status and position, he could naturally afford these precious jewels.
It’s just that Gulin doesn’t look for a wife himself, but instead has his eyes on someone else’s wife. He is so shameless.
"Go give it back to him."
Xu Rui's sudden angry shout startled Jiang Xiyu, who asked in bewilderment, "Who are you giving it back to?"
Xu Rui was speechless and wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth.
He can't say.
He couldn't let her know that the masked man was Gulin. Gulin looked more delicate than a woman. It would be bad if Jiang Xiyu fell in love with Gulin when he was not around.
Seeing his expression was off, Jiang Xiyu immediately stared at him suspiciously, "Xu Rui, do you know anything? Who is this person? Why did he come to give me jewelry in the middle of the night?"
Of course, she didn't want to know anything about the jewelry.
She just wanted to know the man's identity because he knew her secret.
And judging from Xu Rui's appearance, he might know some inside information that she didn't know.
Xu Rui felt uncomfortable and raised his voice to hide his anger, "How should I know who he is? You are not allowed to see him in the future."
Jiang Xiyu was speechless after being yelled at by Xu Rui. Was this what she wanted to see?
It was that man who came to see her again and again.
Jiang Xiyu didn't want to say anything to Xu Rui and lowered her eyebrows.
Xu Rui thought she was frightened by him, so he softened his tone and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. I'll assign a secret guard to protect you, and that person will never be able to get close to you again."
With the golden guards guarding him, he definitely couldn't enter Jingyu Garden, at least in the middle of the night.
As for daytime, I believe Gulin would not dare to harass Jiang Xiyu so boldly.
When Jiang Xiyu heard that he had sent secret guards to guard her, she suddenly raised her head and looked at him in disbelief.
What happened to Xu Rui recently? Why did he suddenly consider her safety?
But thinking that there were secret guards protecting her, the man would not dare to come, and she felt relieved.
Thinking of something, Xu Rui suddenly said, "I can give you those jewels in the future. I will give you a lot of them."
Although he doesn't have the ability to give her such good jewelry now, he will definitely give her a lot more in the future.
Jiang Xiyu was frightened by Xu Rui's horrifying words and looked at him as if he were a monster.
"Xu Rui, you don't have to treat me like this."
Now she just wants to get her dowry back and get a divorce. She doesn't want any kindness from Xu Rui.
She is no longer like she was in her previous life. She would be soft-hearted if Xu Rui treated her well.
Because no matter how good he is to her, it can't change the hurt he caused her in her previous life, nor can it make up for her broken heart.
She could choose not to pursue or retaliate for the things that happened in her previous life, but she could not forgive, and she could not accept that she would repeat the same path as her previous life.
Xu Rui didn’t know what Jiang Xiyu was thinking. He only knew that he wanted to be good to her, to make up for his previous mistakes, and even more so, to win her heart back.
He has confidence in himself and in the relationship between them. As long as he persists in treating her well, they will eventually reconcile.
It is impossible for Gulin to poach his people.
"You are my wife, it is my duty to treat you well." Xu Rui said directly and firmly.
Jiang Xiyu didn't want to argue with him anymore and said directly, "Whatever, I'm going to sleep, Lord Marquis, please go out."
After saying that, he walked directly to the bed, yawning.
Xu Rui wanted to stay, but he also knew that Jiang Xiyu couldn't accept him at the moment. Thinking that there was still a long way to go, he said to her, "You should have a good rest."
Jiang Xiyu didn't care about him. After she was sure he left, she was so sleepy that she fell asleep in a short while.
When she woke up, Xu Rui had already put on his armor and was waiting for her in the yard.
Jiang Xiyu had not originally planned to go and she just agreed casually last night.
But not wanting to upset Lin Rouyu, after thinking about it, Jiang Xiyu simply washed up and went out with Xu Rui.
As soon as the two of them left Jingyu Garden, they ran into Lin Rouyu.
Lin Rouyu ignored Jiang Xiyu beside Xu Rui and pounced directly at Xu Rui.
Jiang Xiyu rolled her eyes, took a step forward, stood in front of Xu Rui, and hugged Lin Rouyu for him. "The Marquis has military duties to attend to and cannot be delayed. Miss Lin, please respect yourself."
Jiang Xiyu's behavior of protecting her husband really pleased Xu Rui, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
Lin Rouyu was furious, but thinking of Jiang Xiyu's warning, she didn't dare to make a scene again. She just looked at Xu Rui with tenderness in her eyes, "Brother Rui, you must be careful when you go to the Northern Territory again this time."
Xu Rui nodded and looked at Lin Rouyu, "Miss Lin, take care of yourself too."
Xu Rui really had nothing to say about Lin Rouyu.
But for the military power in Lin Songwen's hands, he couldn't let Lin Rouyu leave.
"My Lord, it's getting late." Deji reminded Xu Rui from the side.
Xu Rui nodded at Lin Rouyu, then turned and left.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiyu hurriedly followed.
Seeing Jiang Xiyu following suit, Lin Rouyu immediately caught up with them and said, "I'll go see Brother Rui off."
Xu Rui paused and turned back, "You're not feeling well, so there's no need for you to see me off. Madam, please just send me off."
Xu Rui said this and winked at Deji.
Deji understood what was going on and immediately stepped forward to block Lin Rouyu's way. "Miss Lin, please stay and don't delay the Marquis's itinerary."
Being stopped by Deji, Lin Rouyu could only watch Xu Rui and Jiang Xiyu leave together, and she was so angry that she stomped her feet.
Xu Rui and Jiang Xiyu took a carriage to the city gate together.
At this time, 300,000 troops had been gathered at the city gate, ready to go.
Xu Rui brought Jiang Xiyu to the soldiers.
The soldiers all knelt down and saluted Xu Rui, "Greetings, General."
Xu Rui glanced at them and said loudly, "This is the general's wife."
"Greetings, Madam." The soldiers shouted in unison again.
