The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

Chu Ruo raised her head blankly, staring at him blankly with empty eyes. Liu He's expression became stern and he glared back.

Chu Ruo suddenly smiled and said calmly, "You are right. I killed her. I have done her wrong. Look, I have gotten my retribution. My daughter died young and I am lonely in my old age. I deserve it."

Liu He was stunned. He thought he would refute, argue with him, or even laugh at him. He scolded him that Ali never took him seriously, so what right did he have to question him?

But Chu Ruo not only blamed himself for Ah Li's death, saying that his fate was all his own fault, but also did not vent his anger on anyone else.

Liu He suddenly felt that he was not that miserable. What if the man in front of him got Ah Li? He couldn't protect her. They were together for only three years, and she passed away before him.

The pain of losing their beloved was the same for both of them, the only difference was that Chu Ruo had won her heart and they had a daughter. But he had only seen her a few times from a distance and had never spoken a word to her.

Chu Ruo had felt the pain twice, but he had only experienced it once, a one-sided and ridiculous loss of his loved one.

Yes, he and A Li don’t even have a marriage certificate, so what qualifications does he have to come and question Chu Ruo.

Liu He fell back into his chair helplessly, and suddenly realized that he had lived in vain for so many years. He did not dare to pursue the one he loved, which made him suffer for so many years, and left his first wife, who was married to him in a formal ceremony, alone in the house every day. He suddenly understood why his first wife went crazy, why she cursed him day and night, and why Xu Wanhua stood up for her sister. The root of everything was him, because he took his anger out on others because of his unwillingness.

He remembered that on the evening of the day after Xu Wanhua learned that she was going to be taken as a concubine, she stopped him at the gate of the palace, bowed deeply to him, and said with tears in her eyes, "The Xu family dare not disobey the prince's order. But the Xu family never owes the prince anything. My sister and I don't owe the prince anything."

He let down two women. He could have been brave enough to stop one of them. Even if she would not be happy marrying him, at least she would continue to live.

One of them was driven crazy by his coldness, became depressed and had no hope, and committed suicide in anger.

This girl, who he had watched grow up from infancy, married him for the sake of the family, and he could not let her down again.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up, clasped his fists towards Chu Ruo and said, "Take care."

After saying that, he got up and walked away. When he looked up, he saw so many people standing in the yard, looking nervous and worried about Chu Ruo. He understood that Chu Ruo was not alone.

If I continue to be stubborn, I will be the one who ends up living alone.

He strode away, and Liu Xin hurriedly followed, nodded to everyone, and quickly caught up with Liu He's footsteps.

Tang Zhongbai protected Jiang Muxia behind him. After Liu He saw this, he smiled bitterly and quickened his pace to leave without saying a word.

Jiang Muxia trotted into the house, and seeing that Chu Ruo was fine, she felt relieved. She left Tang San behind, and they went back to their rooms.

Liu He rode back to the palace. The palace was brightly lit, red silk was everywhere, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.

He got off his horse and went straight to the bridal chamber in the back house. The room was pitch dark and there was no one on guard outside the door.

After he left, Nanny Li sent the servants out of the yard and only kept the maids and servants that Xu brought from her parents' home. I guess they had gone to rest.

He stood at the door and thought for a long time. After making up his mind, he gently pushed the door open and walked in.

With the light from the courtyard, he saw Xu Wanhua lying on the bed, but she was not asleep. Hearing the door open, he said, "Mammy, I don't need anyone to serve me. You've been tired all day, go and rest, the prince won't be back."

Liu He felt guilty when he heard this.

He is not a cold-blooded person. He was unwilling to give up before and was too obsessed. After meeting Chu Ruo today, he realized that obsession can cause great harm to others. Not only does it harm yourself, but it also harms others.

He spoke softly, taking out a tinder and lighting the red candle that was to be kept lit all night.

"it's me."

Xu Wanhua sat up from the bed instantly, with surprise and expectation in her eyes, "You, why are you back?"

Liu He walked to the bedside and stood still, looking at her seriously and said: "I'm sorry, I was too reckless. If you don't want to marry me, I can write a divorce letter to set you free..."

Xu Wanhua's face sank, her eyes turned red and tears welled up, she choked up and said, "Your Highness, are you humiliating me? I was divorced less than a day after I married into the palace. How will my parents and sisters see me? How will my clan members see me? How will outsiders see me? Who would dare to want me? If Your Highness really hates me, why not give me three feet of white silk and let me die like my sister?"

She burst into tears, feeling miserable, and lamented that she had the same miserable fate as her elder sister, and could not escape the dark hell of the palace that was freezing cold.

Liu He looked at her aggrieved look as she cried in front of him. Her pretty face looked pitiful because of the grievance and indignation. He cursed himself for being a worthless person. He married her into the family, but didn't want her. Wasn't that pushing her to death?

When Liu He took out the handkerchief and stuffed it into her hand, his fingertips touched it. He felt a chill as if he had been electrocuted, and he pulled his hand back abruptly.

However, in Xu Wanhua's view, this action showed that Liu He was extremely annoyed with her, and even felt disgusted when he touched her fingertips.

The grievances in my heart were overwhelming and my crying became louder.

Liu He was at a loss, not knowing what to do. He spoke incoherently, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to bump into you, oops, this..."

He was like an ant on a hot pan, wanting to persuade her but not knowing how, and was so anxious that he kept pacing around the bed.

"Don't cry, it's getting late. I'll have someone fetch some water for you to wash your face, and then we can... go to bed early... ok?"

Outside the door, the maidservants had already stood up after hearing the noise coming from the bridal chamber. After listening for a while, they learned that the prince had returned. They had already prepared the toiletries and were just waiting for the prince's last words.

As soon as Liu He finished speaking, the maids filed in. Xu's personal nanny, Madam Zhao, said with a smile, "The concubine is looking forward to the return of the prince. This old servant will clean her face for her."

When Xu Wanhua heard that he was going to stay overnight in her room, she stopped crying and was stunned for a long time until the nanny came into the room and she came to her senses.

Last night, her father and mother stayed with her all night. Her father ordered her to take down the prince. The fate of the Xu family depended on her. If she didn't get the prince's favor, she wouldn't have to go back to the Xu family.

Her mother hugged her and cried, fearing that she would suffer the same fate as her older sister.

She wiped her face, raised her eyes and glanced at Liu He. Seeing that his face was flushed and his eyes were filled with guilt, she was surprised and happy.

He accepted himself.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, she quickly got out of bed, washed up, picked up the warm handkerchief and walked towards Liu He.

"Thank you, I'll do it myself." He waved his hand and asked the servants to leave.

Xu Wanhua helped him take off his outer shirt and put it away, then she undid her hair, took off her pink wedding dress, and lay down on the bed first.

Liu He slowly walked to the bedside and looked at the dazzling white beneath her. He reached out and lowered the big red curtain.

After a rustling sound of clothes being taken off from behind the curtain, the temperature inside the tent became as warm as spring, with red dots on the white silk handkerchief.

The foolish boy who had been fooling around for many years finally got his wish after enduring for many years.
