After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Jiang Xiyu's words froze Xu Rui's moving hands.

The atmosphere froze in an instant, and the room was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

After a long silence, Xu Rui finally put down his hand and said with lowered eyes, "Don't you want to consummate your marriage with me?"

"Yes." Jiang Xiyu asked without hesitation.

Xu Rui clenched his fists and asked solemnly, "Why? Because of Lin Rouyu?"

In the past, every time Jiang Xiyu saw him, there was anticipation in her eyes, but since he came back, she has only felt resistance towards him.

And he couldn't think of any other reason except Lin Rouyu's relationship.

Jiang Xiyu looked at Xu Rui with a little surprise at his reaction.

No matter if it was the previous life or the previous Xu Rui, as long as she answered, Xu Rui would never ask back or delve deeper. This time, his brain was stuck in the door.

In her previous life, Jiang Xiyu would have been very happy about Xu Rui's changes. But now, she was no longer moved and said expressionlessly, "Yes, but also no."

Xu Rui frowned slightly, not quite understanding what Jiang Xiyu meant.

He guessed, "Is it because Mother and Xu Rong are plotting against you?"

Jiang Xiyu saw that he looked like he understood everything, but in his previous life he pretended to know nothing and didn't care about her feelings at all. Jiang Xiyu couldn't help it anymore and told her the reasons.

"It's not just because you brought Lin Rouyu back, nor is it just because of their calculations, nor do I care about subsidizing the Marquis' Mansion. What I care about all the time is that you, my husband, do not love me."

These were her inner thoughts from her previous life, and she wanted to vent them.

Xu Rui's brows furrowed even more tightly.

His deep eyes were full of confusion, as if he didn't understand at all what kind of love she wanted.

Now that things had come to this, Jiang Xiyu didn't want to hide anything from him anymore. She took a deep breath and spoke frankly.

"For so many years, you knew that mother and Xu Rong had always been eyeing my dowry, but you never stopped them because you didn't care about me at all. But I'm not really weak and can be bullied. I did it because of you, because I care about you. Zheng and Xu Rong are your mother and your sister, so I let them crawl on me and suck my blood. I was even willing to make up for the deficit of the entire Yonglin Marquis Mansion, even if it meant spending all my dowry. But what have you done for me?"

Jiang Xiyu's voice was not sharp, but gentle and soft. There was no questioning in it, only endless grievance.

Xu Rui finally raised his eyes, and the tears in Jiang Xiyu's eyes pierced his heart.

He opened his mouth to explain, but every word she had just said made him unable to utter a single word.

She was right. He really hadn't cared about it before. When her mother and Xu Rong were wantonly sucking her blood, he even thought she was stupid. He never thought that she was willing to do these things because of him.

The tears in Jiang Xiyu's eyes did not mean that she wanted to express any grievances in front of Xu Rui. She was just recounting her past life and her emotions were naturally revealed.

“And Lin Rouyu, whether you just regarded her as your lifesaver or as your future concubine or equal wife, when you decided to bring her back to Kyoto, it proved that there was never a place for me in your heart.”

Jiang Xiyu's accusation made Xu Rui a little anxious. He opened his mouth to explain, but Jiang Xiyu didn't give him a chance. "There's no need to deny it. Maybe you don't have the idea of ​​marrying Lin Rouyu as your co-wife yet, but what is undeniable is that you have never respected me. So I don't care about her, I care about you."

This one sentence once again left Xu Rui speechless.

Jiang Xiyu's accusation is not over yet.

"And Zhou Lai, you seem to be venting your anger for me, but in reality, you're only doing it for your own reputation. Otherwise, you knew who was colluding with Zhou Lai to harm me, but you didn't hold them accountable.

You should have thoroughly investigated the rumors this time. Besides Xu Rong, Lin Rouyu also contributed to them. But you won't hold Lin Rouyu responsible for this, because she's still useful to you, or the Hongzhou governor still has value to you, just like our general's mansion was useful to you when you married me."

Jiang Xiyu's accusation was too blunt, like a knife, ruthlessly cutting open Xu Rui's heart and exposing all the dark sides of his heart.

He never knew that she understood him so well, as if any of his thoughts could not escape her eyes.

She knew that he married her because of the military power in the hands of the general, and she also knew that he repeatedly condoned the Xu family to suck her blood so that she could use her dowry to fill the holes in the Yonglin Marquis Mansion.

He also knew that he brought Lin Rouyu back in order to win over the governor of Hongzhou.

She could see clearly all his thoughts, but she had never complained to him before. He thought she was weak and stupid, but he was wrong.

She has a very smart mind and is much more intelligent than Xu Rong and Lin Rouyu. The reason why she has been able to tolerate him until now is all because of him.

Suddenly, Xu Rui felt a little ashamed. He didn't dare to look at Jiang Xiyu again. He stood up and went outside.

Qing'er, who had been waiting outside, lowered her head in fear when she saw Xu Rui coming out.

Xu Rui didn't even look at her and strode out of Jingyuyuan.

Qing'er hurried back to the room and saw Jiang Xiyu sitting on the bed with tears in her eyes. Qing'er walked up to her and asked cautiously, "Madam, did the Marquis bully you?"

Jiang Xiyu was still immersed in the emotions of the accusation she had just made. She sniffed and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is he gone?"

"I'm leaving. Did the Marquis bully you?"

Jiang Xiyu suppressed his emotions and shook his head, "No, I'm not that easy to bully now."

Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at Jiang Xiyu now, Qing'er looked at her with a face full of heartache.

She had seen with her own eyes what kind of life Jiang Xiyu had lived over the years. She had always been very strong and never shed tears. She must have been scared this time.

Jiang Xiyu looked at Qing'er who was worried about her, and her heart was very warm. She changed the subject and said, "Qing'er, I'm a little tired. Go get me some water. I want to take a bath and rest."

Qing'er went to fetch water only after she was sure that she was okay.

After Jiang Xiyu washed up, she sent Qing'er to rest.

She lay quietly in bed alone.

Xu Rui is such a proud man, what she said today should prevent him from thinking about consummating the marriage for a long time.

Jiang Xiyu felt a little regretful at this moment. She should have taken the opportunity to ask him for a divorce. Maybe he would agree directly. After all, he did not love her. He married her just for the military power in his father's hands.
