Along with jealousy, there were also bursts of sourness in Gu Ruanruan's heart.

She inevitably started to compare Xiao Yanlin and Xiao Ruoyun.

She probably knew in her heart that this was wrong, but she couldn't help it.

Does Xiao Ruoyun love her so much?

Will Xiao Ruoyun protect her at all costs?

Or......

If Gu Ruanruan also faces danger one day, does Xiao Ruoyun have the ability to save her from fire and water?

The answer couldn't be more obvious.

Xiao Ruoyun is not as good as Xiao Yanlin.

This answer almost made Gu Ruanruan go crazy with jealousy.

It was obvious that not long ago, she and Gu Baiyu were the same daughters of the Gu family, and she even felt that she lived a happier life than Gu Baiyu.

But in just a short period of time, everything seems to have changed.

It seemed that the whole world began to revolve around Gu Baiyu.

But obviously...

But she should obviously be the protagonist of the world!

When did it start?

Gu Ruanruan began to think about this problem.

Yes, it started when Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin got engaged.

It started when Gu Baiyu chose the famous Daye God of War.

From then on, it seemed that everything about a match made in heaven, destiny as a prosperous husband, and love between husband and wife began to surround Gu Baiyu.

The difference between her and Gu Baiyu is simply that she married an ordinary person.

The expression on Gu Ruanruan's face changed three times, but Gu Baiyu didn't notice it.

She just felt that Gu Ruanruan seemed to have become very silent from the beginning.

The two secret guards were still waiting for her disposal.

Gu Baiyu recovered from missing Xiao Yanlin.

She sighed lightly.

What can be done.

Gu Ruanruan didn't kill anyone, so she couldn't kill him.

"Let go of her."

When the secret guard heard this, he immediately let go of Gu Ruanruan.

Gu Ruanruan climbed up with great effort.

By now, she had no time to think about today's humiliation. There was only one self-righteous truth in her mind -

Gu Baiyu hooked up with Xiao Yanlin, so it was smooth sailing. In this era where royal power is supreme, why can't she do this?

"Sister, you choose this dowry yourself."

How could Gu Ruanruan think about choosing a dowry?

But after this period of lessons, she knew very well how powerful Gu Baiyu was, and she didn't dare to show anything amiss on her face.

He just pretended to be reluctant, holding his tongue and said: "Really these are the only ones? Okay, then I'll choose..."

After saying that, he even glanced at the two secret guards with some flinching.

Everyone thought she had just been frightened, and no one noticed that in that look, envy and greed even outweighed fear.

When can she be like this?

With power and connections in hand, you can easily control the life and death of others?

This question lingered in her mind.

Gu Baiyu took Lingyu back to the room.

Before leaving, she asked the two secret guards to report everything Gu Ruanruan said and did today to Xiao Yanlin. ,

Of course, it also includes her unscrupulous phrase "following the dragon's merits".

The secret guard left a few people to protect Gu Baiyu, and the remaining one immediately returned to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to report.

Because the secret guard said he wanted to report about Gu Ruan Ruan, Xiao Yanlin did not keep Xiao Ruoyun a secret, and even specifically ordered the secret guard not to hide anything about Gu Ruan Ruan, but to report it truthfully.

Therefore, Xiao Ruoyun learned about Nian'an Temple from the secret guard.

Naturally, I also heard Gu Ruanruan's words of "following the dragon's merits".

When the secret guard finished reporting, Xiao Ruoyun could not speak for a long time.

She couldn't even believe that the Gu Ruanruan mentioned by the secret guard was the innocent, lovely and lively woman who had played with him before.

But he knew that the secret guards would not lie.

There was no need for Xiao Yanlin to lie to him about this kind of thing.

"How?" Xiao Yanlin asked lightly.

"Brother..." Xiao Ruoyun's voice was a little dry.

"I really...I really didn't expect her to be like this..."

Xiao Yanlin said calmly: "The Zhenbei Hou Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are both civil and military, and they control most of the say in the court. They are already eye-catching. I have told you before that the fight for the right to inherit the throne is something like this. We can stay as far away as possible, and maintaining neutrality is the long-term solution. Prime Minister Gu also understands this truth, so he chose to alienate himself from the second prince's lineage, but he did not expect the second young lady of the Gu family to have such thoughts."

He paused before continuing: "This is why I asked you to go to the Ministry of Industry and held you down from going up. Rather than fighting in the court, I hope you can do what you like and do what you like. Things that are beneficial to the people. One Zhenbeihou in the Zhenbeihou Mansion is enough. If there are more, people will be afraid."

Xiao Ruoyun naturally understands this truth.

He was even grateful for Xiao Yanlin's decision.

Having grown up together, Xiao Yanlin was both a brother and a father to him, and he could only understand how kind and protective Xiao Yanlin was to him.

But why did Gu Ruanruan suddenly become like this?

"Brother," Xiao Ruoyun was silent for a long time and then said, "Brother, can you let me write a letter to her first to persuade her."

Xiao Yanlin nodded: "Okay. But I will still order people to pay attention to that side during this period."

Xiao Ruoyun nodded: "I understand, big brother. Thank you so much for taking care of me and my future sister-in-law."

After he finished speaking, he gave a somewhat ugly smile.

After turning around, all that was left behind was loneliness.

Xiao Yanlin didn't look back until Xiao Ruoyun left.

"What else did Miss Gu say?"

The secret guard said: "Miss Gu also asked a few questions to my subordinates. She asked me how the Marquis would arrange it if the person who wanted to hurt her today had a high status. The subordinates followed the instructions of the Marquis, and Miss Gu seemed to be very happy. "

Hearing this, Xiao Yanlin also had a smile on his stern face: "Yeah. It's a good idea. Gu Ruan Ruan, if anything happens to Ruan Ruan, except for her safety, which must be done first, other things must be obeyed by her. arrange."

"Yes." The secret guard took the order and left.

After Xiao Ruoyun returned to his room, he spent a long time digesting the matter.

He had to face the fact that the person he cared about suddenly became like this, and he began to reflect on why.

It wasn't until dawn that he stared at the blue-grey eye circles and wrote a letter to Gu Ruanruan.

After writing it, he did not send it out immediately, but went to find Xiao Yanlin first.

"Brother, please read this letter first. I thought that Ruan Ruan might have been disgraced about getting married, and I couldn't think about it for a while. I was confused. Can we both take a step back? I still accept her according to the rules of marrying a wife. After entering the palace, I also advised her not to interact with the second prince again. After we get married, maybe everything will return to the original track."

Xiao Yanlin didn't know whether he could accept Xiao Ruoyun's innocent thoughts.

But since his brother begged so much, Gu Baiyu also relaxed, and Xiao Yanlin had no reason not to agree.

"Okay, send the letter out."

Xiao Ruoyun finally had a smile on his face: "Well! Thank you, brother! After we get married, we will honor our brother and sister-in-law!"

Xiao Ruoyun was full of longing and asked someone to send the letter out.

He thought that such concessions and persuasion could make Gu Ruanruan change his mind and make Gu Ruanruan return to his former self. Little did he know that it was this letter that tore up the last bit of hesitation in Gu Ruanruan's heart.
