In fact, he hoped that Jiang Xiyu would not be so generous and decent. He hoped that she would lose her temper with him, he hoped that she would be jealous of him, he even hoped that she would unreasonably stop him from seeing Lin Rouyu, instead of pushing him into the arms of another woman as reasonably as she was now.

"Cough cough..." When Lin Rouyu heard Xu Rui speaking for Jiang Xiyu, she suddenly seemed to be stimulated and coughed up blood.

"Miss." Seeing Lin Rouyu coughing up blood again, Shuye and Liuye's faces were full of worry.

Seeing Lin Rouyu's extremely pale face, Xu Rui didn't dare to provoke her anymore. He directly carried her to the bed and said, "The imperial physician said that with your heart disease, you shouldn't get too excited. No matter what happens, stay calm."

Lin Rouyu grabbed Xu Rui's clothes and refused to let go. She threw herself into his arms again, tears streaming down her face, "Brother Rui, I like you. Every time I see you and her being affectionate, I feel so bad. I can't control myself at all."

Lin Rouyu's sincere confession did not move Xu Rui. On the contrary, after hearing her confession, the disgust in his eyes deepened.

He frowned and pushed her away again coldly, "She and I are husband and wife, and you, Yunying, are unmarried. It's not appropriate for us to be like this."

He and Jiang Xiyu are husband and wife, what's wrong with their love? I really don't know what's going on in this woman's mind.

Being pushed away again, Lin Rouyu was heartbroken again. She tugged at Xu Rui's clothes and sobbed, "Brother Rui, I know you didn't marry Jiang Xiyu because you really like her. You have no feelings for her at all. It's all because of the military power in Jiang Kun's hands."

Her words made Xu Rui frown. He opened his mouth subconsciously to defend himself, but he couldn't say anything for a long time.

Because he knew in his heart that what Lin Rouyu said was right.

When he married Jiang Xiyu, on the one hand, it was because Gu Wei wanted Jiang Kun's military power, so he had no choice but to let him go to Lianyan, because he wanted to gain Gu Wei's trust, which was his only choice at the time.

Although he didn't like her before, after being married to her for so many years, he didn't know whether he liked Jiang Xiyu now.

Thinking back to not long ago, when Jiang Xiyu pressed him on the question, he couldn't answer whether he loved her or not. He just felt that Jiang Xiyu had to be by his side no matter what.

Whenever I think about her leaving, I feel like my heart is being pricked by needles.

So he was willing to give them each other a chance, he was willing to try to love her, and he also wanted to get more love from her.

He wanted to become a real couple with her and was willing to grow old with her.

Divorce is something he has never thought about. He hopes that she will accompany him for the rest of his life. As for whether he loves her or not, he believes that time will give him the answer.

Jiang Xiyu doesn't like Lin Rouyu, so he distances himself from her.

Seeing Xu Rui's cold face and silent words, Lin Rouyu thought she was right. After knowing that Xu Rui really didn't like Jiang Xiyu, she couldn't help but smile. She walked forward, took Xu Rui's hand, and looked at him affectionately.

"Brother Rui, you don't have to be so hard on yourself. Jiang Kun is now a useless man, and he no longer has the military power. You don't have to be so hypocritical with Jiang Xiyu. If you want military power, I can ask my father to give it to you."

Xu Rui was shocked by her words and looked at her in disbelief. "What did you just say?"

"I told you that you want military power, and my father can give it to you. I wrote to my father a few days ago. As long as you divorce Jiang Xiyu and marry me, all the military power in my father's hands will be yours."

Xu Rui looked at her blankly, feeling very complicated.

If it were in the past, he would definitely be very happy, but since he came back and spent time with Jiang Xiyu, for some reason, the balance in his heart tilted.

Thinking of losing Jiang Xiyu, Xu Rui broke free from Lin Rouyu's hand and said, "I won't divorce you."

These words seemed to be spoken to Lin Rouyu, but also seemed to be spoken to himself.

His words made Lin Rouyu's face turn pale, and her steps couldn't help but stagger. She said in disbelief, "Brother Rui, why is this? Didn't you marry her for the military power? Now that the military power in Jiang Kun's hands has been taken away by His Majesty, why can't you divorce Jiang Xiyu? My father has the military power you want. Father has always doted on me the most. As long as I ask for it, he will definitely give it to me."

Although she has not received a reply from Lin Songwen yet, she knows that Lin Songwen will definitely agree to her.

Xu Rui naturally knew that Lin Songwen doted on Lin Rouyu, and he also believed what Lin Rouyu said.

Even when he wanted to bring Lin Rouyu back to Kyoto for treatment, part of his desire was for Lin Songwen's military power, which was why he coaxed Lin Rouyu and even accepted her advances.

Even on the day he returned to the Yonglin Marquis Mansion, he personally carried Lin Rouyu out of the carriage. All of this was planned by him.

He just wanted to remind Jiang Xiyu that Lin Rouyu would be her opponent, and he wanted her to be mentally prepared in advance.

But things did not develop as he expected. Because of Gu Wei's fear, he could not marry Lin Rouyu, and because of Jiang Xiyu's tough attitude, he had to change his mind.

But now that Lin Rouyu expressed this idea again, his heart was shaken again.

But when the words of the people at Lanruo Temple that day and the scene of Jiang Xiyu and Gulin standing together flashed through his mind, Xu Rui instantly became much more sober and suddenly stood up.

"Don't say these things anymore. There's no way I'm going to divorce Jiang Xiyu. Have a good rest. I'll come see you tomorrow."

After Xu Rui finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.

"Brother Rui..." Lin Rouyu called him unwillingly from behind, but no matter how she called, Xu Rui left without looking back.

Lin Rouyu didn't care that she was not well yet, she lifted the cup and was about to get out of bed, but was hugged by Ye Zi and Liu Ye.

"Girl, you are not in good health to get out of bed now. Please take care of yourself."

The leaves tried to persuade her, but Lin Rouyu wouldn't listen to anyone now. She just wanted Xu Rui to stay and agree to her request.

But no matter how she cried, Xu Rui didn't look back and walked out of the yard with big strides.

Until she could no longer see Xu Rui's back, Lin Rouyu fainted from anger.

"girl."

The leaves and willows screamed in horror.

After Shuye handed Lin Rouyu to Liuye, he strode towards the door.

"My Lord, please stay. My daughter has fainted again. Please go and see her." When Shu Ye chased outside, he shouted at Xu Rui's back.

Xu Rui didn't stop, and didn't even turn his head. "I'm not a doctor. I can't save her, and I can't stay with her forever."

After saying this, he ordered Deji who was beside him, "Go and invite the imperial physician over again. Make sure to save the patient."
