After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 21: You set the fire in the mansion, right?

Xu Rui seems gentle as jade to outsiders, but as his mother, she knows him too well.

He has always had a strong possessiveness for his things, and no one else is allowed to touch his things. Now that Jiang Xiyu is his wife, no matter whether he likes Jiang Xiyu or not, he will not let others touch Jiang Xiyu. So now that he knows that Zhou Lai covets Jiang Xiyu, he will definitely take action against Zhou Lai.

Here, Xu Rui came out of Shoukang Hall and went to Fenglai Residence.

When he returned to his and Jiang Xiyu's room, he found that all of Jiang Xiyu's things were gone. He immediately called the servants in the yard, "Where is the Madam?"

The servant bowed and replied, "My Lord, the Madam moved to Taolin Garden the day after returning from Lanruo Temple."

Xu Rui frowned suddenly, "Why did she move out so suddenly?"

"I don't know."

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Xu Rui could only turn around and go to Taolin Garden.

The main house of Taolinyuan.

After a whole night of smoke and fire, Jiang Xiyu was taking a bath. This time she still didn't let Qing'er serve her.

Qing'er could only stand outside the screen and complain, "Madam, even if that woman surnamed Lin saved the Marquis, you can't give the Marquis to her."

Jiang Xiyu sat in the bathtub, but didn't take Qing'er's words to heart at all. What she was thinking about was the man who saved her from the fire last night.

It's the man in the hot spring.

He knew that she was the wife of Marquis Yonglin, but she knew nothing about his identity.

Who is he?

Why did you come to see her last night?

Could it be that he knows her secret?

Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Xiyu instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Madam, you must not be stupid..." As Qing'er was chattering and persuading outside, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Seeing Xu Rui suddenly enter the room, Qing'er was instantly frightened and stammered, "Marquis... Marquis..."

Jiang Xiyu, who was sitting in the bathtub, was also shocked when she heard Qing'er calling "Marquis". She subconsciously covered the teeth marks on her shoulder and quickly pulled down the clothes on the screen.

When he heard the sound of water coming from the other side of the screen, Xu Rui realized that Jiang Xiyu should be taking a bath. He wanted to turn around and leave, but when he thought about the fact that they were a serious couple, he just stood there and did not move.

Qing'er looked at Xu Rui nervously, her mind racing.

She shouldn't have said anything nonsense that Xu Rui could hear, right?

Jiang Xiyu quickly changed into clean clothes and came out. Seeing Xu Rui standing in the room, Jiang Xiyu lowered her eyes and said calmly, "My Lord."

Xu Rui looked at Jiang Xiyu, who was covered in moisture and even had her hair dripping with water, and thought she was as beautiful as a lotus flower emerging from water.

The words Zhou Lai said popped up involuntarily in my mind.

"You can't blame me for this. It's because your wife is so beautiful. How could a man not be moved by her?"

Xu Rui's dark eyes narrowed dangerously.

Jiang Xiyu had no idea what Xu Rui was thinking. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she looked up at him, only to meet his deep black eyes.

Even though it was impossible for her to have any feelings for this man anymore, she had to admit at this moment that this man was very good-looking, especially his pair of black eyes. When he stared at you, he always gave you the illusion that he loved you deeply.

But an illusion is an illusion and can never become true.

When Qing'er saw that Jiang Xiyu's hair was dripping with water, she immediately took a towel to wipe her hair.

Before she started to wipe, Xu Rui reached out and took the towel.

"My Lord?" Qing'er looked at Xu Rui in a daze. She wanted to get the towel back, but she didn't dare.

Xu Rui raised his hand. Qing'er glanced at Jiang Xiyu, and seeing that she didn't say anything, she could only bow and retreat.

After Qing'er went out, Xu Rui walked behind Jiang Xiyu with a towel and wiped her hair.

Jiang Xiyu's body was stiff, as if she didn't expect Xu Rui to help her wipe her hair.

"I'll do it myself." Jiang Xiyu turned sideways to take the towel from Xu Rui's hand, but Xu Rui refused to give it to her.

Xu Rui pushed Jiang Xiyu onto the stool and continued to wipe her hair.

His movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her.

But Jiang Xiyu's body became increasingly stiff as he got closer.

He was always like this, like to do things to her that made her misunderstand.

His gentleness once made her think that she was the love of his life, the one Xu Rui held dearest to his heart, but God knew how foolish she was.

"Why did you suddenly move to Taolinyuan?" Xu Rui asked while wiping her hair.

"It's quiet here." Jiang Xiyu came back to his senses and answered casually.

Xu Rui thought about what she had experienced these days and didn't ask any more questions.

After a moment of silence, Xu Rui continued, "You set the fire in the mansion, didn't you?"

Jiang Xiyu didn't expect that he came here specifically to question her about this matter. She immediately said in a cold and displeased voice, "So, have you found out why I set the fire?"

With his ability, since he was able to find out that it was her who set the fire, he should also find out why she set the fire!

Seeing her sharp words, Xu Rui was silent for a moment before speaking again, "I've already told my mother, and she knows she's wrong. This is the last time. As for Zhou Lai, I'll handle it."

Jiang Xiyu had no doubt about what Xu Rui said.

Less than an hour after Xu Rui returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he had found out everything Zheng and Zhou Lai had done to her.

She was his wife, his lady. If Zheng had not been his mother, anyone who dared to treat her like this today would be dead.

Just like Zhou Lai in his previous life, he was killed by Xu Rui on the way to exile.

So when Xu Rui said he would deal with Zhou Lai, she believed him, but as to whether Zheng would be the last one, she didn't believe it.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about it. I've already fought back when I should, and they didn't get anything out of it."

Jiang Xiyu didn't want Xu Rui to do anything for her. In this life, she would avenge herself.

She would show no mercy to anyone who dared to provoke her, including him, Xu Rui.

Her cold tone made Xu Rui pause his movements and stare blankly at her smooth and delicate neck.

Seeing that he stopped moving, Jiang Xiyu turned around to look at him.

Xu Rui came back to his senses and pulled his lips apologetically, "I'm sorry for making you endure all this alone in the mansion."

Jiang Xiyu sneered silently.

He has more to apologize for than just this.

She remembered every drop of her blood and every wound he cut on her wrist in her previous life, and she would make him pay her back.

Xu Rui stared at Jiang Xiyu in a daze, feeling that she seemed different from before.

In addition to her indifferent attitude, her eyes no longer had the admiration and love she had when she looked at him before. There was only indifference and alienation, and even a hint of barely perceptible hatred. All these made Xu Rui inexplicably uncomfortable.

Xu Rui thought that Jiang Xiyu's change of attitude was because of Lin Rouyu, and subconsciously explained, "I have already explained the matter of Miss Lin. They saved my life, so I want to find a famous doctor to cure Miss Lin to repay their kindness."
