Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2176

Then An Xia said, "So, you absolutely cannot marry him."

Because in this life, Shi Yunxing's sister has become Shi Anrou in Du Hui's eyes, so his target has naturally changed.

Shi Anxia sighed softly, "How great would it be if I could come back earlier and save Su Yushu?"

Shi Anrou: “…”

She did come back earlier, but she hadn't accomplished anything. Actually, she had heard about Su Yushu's incident, but at the time, she just listened and let it go, never putting herself in his shoes to speak up for him.

As long as she wasn't the one suffering, what did the suffering of others have to do with her? Perhaps this was why her life was getting worse and worse after each rebirth?

Suddenly, it started to rain outside the window. Shi Anrou thought that maybe even God thought she was stupid.

A few days later, Du Hui arrived as promised.

Anxia was sitting at the head of the main hall when she saw Mr. Du, dressed in an indigo-blue robe, step over the threshold. He was about forty years old, with a well-proportioned face, but a frosty brow.

He saluted with his back straight and his voice neither humble nor arrogant, "Du Hui greets the eldest princess."

Shi Anxia said calmly, "Please take a seat."

Du Hui stood motionless in the hall, just looking up at the noble woman sitting there quietly.

Outside the eaves, the rain was falling like a curtain of weaving. The dim light of the sky slanted in through the carved window lattices, shrouding half of his body in shadow.

There were a few stains of mud on the hem of his blue shirt, probably because he had come out in the rain, but his back was still as straight as an ink line drawn with a ruler.

The hall was silent for a moment, the only sound being the patter of rain outside the eaves. The raindrops slammed onto the bluestone steps, a splash like broken jade filtering through the curtains, spreading a damp silence across the tiled floor.

An Xia was the first to speak, speaking frankly, "Mr. Du wants to marry my sister, but I don't agree."

Du Hui hadn't expected the other party to be so direct. There was no need for any pretense. He smiled casually, "Why?"

Shi Anxia's eyes were heavy. "There's a saying that goes, 'Don't advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering.' I understand your desire to marry my sister and avenge your wife." She paused, then added, "But there's another saying you've probably heard, 'Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor.' Whoever has a grudge against you should be the one to go after. Harming innocent people is a sin on your part."

The vein on Du Hui's forehead suddenly jumped.

This woman is indeed weird!

He clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves. After an unknown amount of time, he finally roared, "But Shi Yunxing is dead! He's dead! He's dead! I'm going to tear him into pieces!"

The gentleman who had originally looked modest and respectful now had bloodshot eyes and was furious. He had even forgotten how powerful the woman sitting above him was.

He only knew...that she refused to save his wife.

His eyes danced with flames of hatred as he stared at her, looking as if he wanted to eat her.

Shi Anxia's heart was moved, but she didn't show it on her face. Her eyes remained calm. "I hate Shi Yunxing as much as you do. I avenged him in my own way. At the same time, I also avenged you."

We shouldn't be enemies!

Du Hui's eyes became even colder, "So you killed Shi Yunxing! You demolished his mourning hall! You threw his body into a mass grave! So you were reborn, just like what was said in the storybook! But... why..." He burst into tears and suddenly fell to the ground, covering his face and crying, "Why, you refused to save my poor wife... Why... let her suffer such a terrible thing... How pitiful, how pitiful my wife's death was..."

Shi Anxia naturally couldn't admit such a shocking secret in front of someone who didn't know the details, "You also believe in the book of strange stories?"
