The sick king's bride to bring him good fortune
Chapter 69 Encounter
After all, it wasn't her business. Ruan Mozhu only knew one thing: she only cared about herself.
Bu Yu looks really sad right now, which makes Ruan Mozhu feel sorry for her.
Bu Yu gradually returned to his usual demeanor, but coldly questioned her, "Where did you get this jade pendant?" As he said this, there was urgency in his eyes, making Ruan Mozhu feel that the jade pendant must be very important to him.
"I don't know either. I met someone when I was little, and that person gave it to me." Ruan Mozhu made up an excuse. In fact, the jade pendant was hers, but she felt it didn't matter whether it was hers or not. It belonged to the previous owner of this body.
"Who is that person? Where is that person?" Bu Yu suddenly became agitated and grabbed Ruan Mozhu's shoulders, demanding an answer. Ruan Mozhu retreated step by step, but Bu Yu approached step by step.
Suddenly, someone shouted Ruan Mozhu's name from the opposite side. Ruan Mozhu looked over and saw Wei Jingnan. Ruan Mozhu suddenly lost her footing and fell into the pool. Bu Yu was also pulled down by her. It seems that the two of them were indeed unlucky.
Ruan Mozhu could swim a little but couldn't swim at all. She was about to sink when Bu Yu gave her air and kissed her underwater. Ruan Mozhu's eyes widened in shock. Suddenly stunned, she was pulled to the surface by Bu Yu. After getting ashore, Ruan Mozhu kept breathing in the air, which made her feel that being able to breathe fresh air was a kind of happiness.
Wei Jingnan rushed over and helped Ruan Mozhu up. Ruan Mozhu didn't want Wei Jingnan to help her and tried to walk away, but Wei Jingnan held her tightly.
"Where do you think you can go now that you've been made like this?" So Wei Jingnan carried her in a princess carry to an abandoned palace. Once inside, the rooms were surprisingly clean.
"Why did you bring me here, you lecherous scoundrel?" Ruan Mozhu felt very angry.
Ruan Mozhu was thinking about how not to be caught by Wei Jingnan, but he opened the wardrobe and picked out a particularly beautiful dress for her to change into. Ruan Mozhu looked at the dress and burst out laughing. Wei Jingnan suddenly found something for her to wear underneath as well.
For some reason, she suddenly laughed. Ruan Mozhu wondered how Ruan Mozhu knew about this place, so she went behind the screen and asked from the other side.
"Wei Jingnan, you lecherous scoundrel, you even know the layout of the harem so well, you even know where the wardrobes and rooms are, what are you up to?" Ruan Mozhu teased him out of boredom, but Wei Jingnan replied unhappily.
"I don't know why, but I feel like this place is familiar to me, like it used to be a place I used to frequent when I was a child." Wei Jingnan thought about it but still couldn't remember, and he was very unhappy.
Ruan Mozhu's heart skipped a beat. Could this be Wei Jingnan's mother's palace? Judging from the scale, it's really quite impressive. His mother died later, so he moved out of the palace to live. Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. This is actually Wei Jingnan's mother's palace.
Sigh, I didn't expect him to still remember.
Ruan Mozhu suddenly heard a hissing sound. When she looked, she saw a very large rat. Ruan Mozhu was so frightened that she jumped out without even putting her clothes on properly and immediately threw herself into Wei Jingnan's arms.
"Oh my god, what a huge rat!" Ruan Mozhu hadn't seen a rat in a long time. Rats were disgusting and scary, and Ruan Mozhu was terrified.
Wei Jingnan's heart was suddenly filled with desire. Ruan Mozhu had just finished putting on her trousers and shirt. Because of her height, he could see the glimpse of her cleavage. Ruan Mozhu calmed down for a while, but then realized that she hadn't finished putting on her clothes. So she hurriedly went back to get her clothes.
After Ruan Mozhu finished dressing, she went to look in the bronze mirror. She wiped it clean and looked at herself in the mirror, and found that the clothes were really nice.
Surprisingly, the size is just right, which is pretty good.
Ruan Mozhu was still happy, after all, she had dry clothes to wear.
Ruan Mozhu went out, and Wei Jingnan followed. Ruan Mozhu didn't want him to come, so she walked alone, thinking about Bu Yu earlier. Uh, she had actually been taken advantage of.
Ruan Mozhu thought that Bu Yu must know her, and must know her very well.
Ruan Mozhu had just told Wei Jingnan to go back quickly, as she would be back soon. Wei Jingnan then left, and Ruan Mozhu followed suit, thinking that she absolutely had to win over Bu Yu, this businessman.
As Ruan Mozhu pondered, she arrived at the spot where she had fallen into the water. It was a beautiful place. Ruan Mozhu subconsciously touched the jade pendant at her waist, only to find it was gone. She figured it must have fallen into the water. Oh well, never mind.
Just as Ruan Mozhu was about to leave, she suddenly heard a splashing sound in the water. Bu Yu came ashore, holding her jade pendant in his hand, which surprised Ruan Mozhu.
Bu Yu handed the jade pendant to her. Ruan Mozhu thought, "What a coincidence, young master, you're still not leaving? You even helped me find the jade pendant." Ruan Mozhu was about to take it when Bu Yu withdrew his hand.
He said, "If you can't protect this jade pendant properly, then I, the young master, won't mind keeping it safe for you." He seemed to really care about this jade pendant. Ruan Mozhu could only describe it with five words: I'm speechless.
"You're such a strange person. This is my jade pendant. Give it back to me. It's none of your business." The more Ruan Mozhu looked at him, the more she felt he was meddling in her affairs. Ruan Mozhu snatched the jade pendant and tied it around her neck.
This has been with her for so long, it's like a talisman. No matter how many times she loses it, she still feels uneasy. Besides, the material is really good.
As Wei Jingnan looked at the jade pendant tied around her neck, he suddenly remembered the past. He had tied the jade pendant around the little girl's neck, and she said that the jade pendant would always be around her neck and would never be lost. He doted on her. Once, on his way to the capital, he was chased by assassins, and it was the little girl who saw him and hid him in her long skirt. Thinking about it now, he found it quite funny. Children are so innocent and selfless.
He then split the priceless jade pendant in two, giving one half to the little girl, who later told him that her name was Xiaozhu.
He remembered that after escaping that ordeal, he could never find her again. He heard that her family had fallen on hard times and that she had been sold to some unknown place by human traffickers.
Just thinking about it still makes me feel heartbroken. What kind of good people are human traffickers? Xiaozhu will definitely suffer. It's just a pity that she is so young.
Bu Yu felt extremely distressed and was still very angry when she thought about it. Those evil human traffickers!
"Why would you wear this jade pendant around your neck?" Bu Yu thought to himself that no one but her had the right to wear it around their neck, but Ruan Mozhu thought he was stupid.
"Where else would I wear it if not around my neck? Oh, by the way, I have something to discuss with you. You like this jade pendant, I'll give it to you, but you have to help me develop my business and agree to three conditions." Ruan Mozhu didn't think she was very kind; if he wanted something, he had to agree to her conditions.
But Bu Yu's eyes darkened. Xiao Zhu would never use the jade pendant for a transaction. Thinking about it, this person didn't deserve to have the jade pendant.
Bu Yu suddenly turned cold and said, "Okay."
Ruan Mozhu thought he agreed very readily, so she gave him the jade pendant, taking it off her neck. Bu Yu suddenly asked, "Your Highness, how old are you this year?"
"Eighteen? So what?" Ruan Mozhu didn't think revealing her age was anything shameful. In ancient times, women had to hide their age because their youthful appearance couldn't be revealed to others casually. Just like feet, they couldn't be seen by other men, as it would be considered a loss of chastity.
Ruan Mozhu is a modern person and doesn't believe in these things, so she readily gave her age.
Bu Yu was shocked. If we calculate based on Xiao Zhu being ten years old back then, then eight years later, it would be exactly the same.
What's going on here? And just now, the King of Qi called her Ruan Mozhu, which also contains the character "Zhu" (bamboo). This is too much of a coincidence. For some reason, it makes Bu Yu feel uncomfortable.
He felt that the woman in front of him was destined to be with him, like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl stars suddenly appearing in broad daylight. This gave him a strange feeling, otherwise he wouldn't have lingered here with her for so long. He would have just left without bothering to communicate.
Ruan Mozhu thought that Bu Yu probably really thought she was his friend, otherwise he wouldn't keep asking so many questions. Oh well, let's go. Anyway, I've already given him the jade pendant.
Ruan Mozhu left right while he was in a daze, because she had to go to a banquet.
Ruan Mozhu calmly made her way to Peach Blossom Pavilion, and upon entering, she found that they were having a lively conversation.
Ruan Mozhu became the center of attention as soon as she entered. The Emperor seemed somewhat displeased, because it was normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines, and yet his daughter-in-law had been so angry just now. What was the big deal? It was just a mistake.
Ruan Mozhu forced a smile, bowed to the Emperor, and said, "Father, I was feeling unwell just now, so I left for a while." Everyone also noticed the difference in her attire.
"It's alright, please take your seats." The Emperor had barely finished speaking when the Empress began to speak.
"Why did you change your clothes, Your Highness?" The Empress would relentlessly ask any question she could find in the smallest detail.
Ruan Mozhu thought to herself, "This Empress is really nosy. Even changing clothes has to be such a big deal for her."
Ruan Mozhu now has many big question marks above her head.
However, she calmly retorted, "I just fell into the water, so I changed my clothes. So, Your Majesty, are you satisfied with my answer?" Ruan Mozhu really wanted to send a million question marks to the Empress.
"Then who saved you?" The Empress began to feel awkward, so she straightened her expression and asked again, which made Ruan Mozhu feel that the Empress was being too obsessive.
"It's me." It was the young master's voice. He walked in slowly from outside, looking very confident. Ruan Mozhu was really afraid that others would misunderstand their relationship.
The prince, dressed in his magnificent robes, slowly walked in. He placed the jade pendant around Ruan Mozhu's neck and said, "What's yours is yours, and it can't escape you no matter what. Xiaozhu, don't lose it again next time."
His eyes were full of affection, and they really looked like a perfect match, but since they were just acquainted as siblings, there was no way there could be any sparks between them.
When Ruan Mozhu heard him call her Xiaozhu, although it didn't sound nice, it felt somewhat familiar. She lowered her head and said uneasily, "I know."
This surprised and delighted Bu Yu; she really was Xiao Zhu.
Everything was fine, it's just a pity that she got married, but no matter what, I won't give up.
Xiaozhu, I didn't protect you well before, but I will definitely protect you well this time. Although I don't know what happened to you in the past eight years, you will always be my Xiaozhu.
