Chapter 917: Entanglement
Moreover, it was not easy for Ye Muyu to see Li Ruyi today. It would probably be even harder to find an opportunity in the future. Moreover, there was not much time left.
“Princess, please speak.” Ye Muyu closed her eyes and sighed. She had decided that if she really angered the princess, she would have to find a way to save her life.
Li Ruyi was a little stunned when she saw that she had agreed. She seemed a little surprised.
However, she soon regained her senses and explained. “This princess grew up with Shen Qin. Even though we often fight, I believe that he probably likes me. That’s why he allowed me to barge into the military camp.”
“The truth is, before the New Year, he returned to the capital to report on his work. Because he had rendered meritorious service in exterminating the mountain bandits, the Emperor wanted to bestow him a marriage and asked him who he wanted to marry.”
“He actually said that he wants to marry Xie Ying!” Li Ruyi smiled, but her expression became even crazier. “Why? I grew up with him, but he said that he wants to marry Xie Ying, who loves to laugh at me the most in Jing City!”
When Ye Muyu heard this, she did not know what to say. She frowned. This kind of relationship was the most complicated and it was taboo for outsiders to interfere.
She would not be able to help and might even offend the princess. She would really be in trouble.
“However, Xie Ying’s grandfather has just passed away, and she needs to mourn for three years. The marriage can only be postponed. However, everyone in Jing City already knows that Shen Qin likes Xie Ying, and I’m a joke in front of everyone!” Li Ruyi gritted her teeth. She was agitated, and the hatred in her eyes could be seen.
Ye Muyu opened her mouth but did not know how to persuade her.
Li Ruyi, on the other hand, calmed down after she finished speaking. She tilted her head and asked, “Say, I’ve lost so much face. Shouldn’t I get it back from Shen Qin?”
Was this hatred born from love?
“Perhaps, Young General Shen is not worthy of Princess ‘attention.” Ye Muyu’s lips moved.
“Since he has someone else in his heart, he is not worth mentioning in front of the princess.”
“You’re not allowed to talk about him like that,” Li Ruyi shouted angrily.
Ye Muyu shut her mouth. Her head hurt. As expected, relationships were too complicated. She regretted it now. Not only could she not find a solution, but she was also trapped in the Marquis’ residence.
She wondered how much progress Han Zhuang had made.
“Actually, you’re right.” Li Ruyi’s eyes were red as she gritted her teeth. “I just can’t figure out why he likes Xie Ying the most even though he knows I hate her the most.”
“Are they going to trample me under their feet? Haha.” Li Ruyi’s laughter became even colder. “That’s good. I’ll find a man who can protect me and trample them under my feet.”
Ye Muyu had already made up her mind. She could not persuade her anymore. She could only nod. “The princess is right.”
“Don’t you think I’m selfish and rude?” Li Ruyi looked at her with a faint smile.
“Everyone is selfish,” Ye Muyu shook her head.
“It’s just that everyone’s selfishness is different.”
“This is the first time I’ve heard such words.”
At this moment, a servant girl knocked on the door. The bath beans had been brought back.
Since Li Ruyi was still in the mood to bathe, Ye Muyu could only wait on her.
After sitting in the bathtub, Li Ruyi felt comfortable.
“Now you know the reason why I did this. You should know that if you don’t agree to it, I definitely won’t give it to you. If Ye Hao hadn’t saved my life, I wouldn’t have even mentioned the matter of the medicinal herbs. It would be better to watch him die. After all, he is Shen Qin’s man. Shen Qin should also have a taste of losing the people around him.”
