He had originally thought he was here today to threaten the Night King, to tell him not to think of harming Shu'er, not to think of keeping the three children away from Shu'er, and to seize the opportunity to test if the Night King still disliked Shu'er.
He hadn't expected the Night King to be so resolute in his declaration to marry Shu'er!
And from the looks of it, he was also interested in Shu'er?
For a moment, Yun Changfeng felt a bit dizzy.
No, when he left, Zhan Tianye had explicitly stated that his desire to marry Shu'er was not because she was the mother of Xiao Jing and the other two, but simply because he wanted to marry her.
They were all men, and if one wanted to marry a woman, it wasn't because of the children, it would definitely be because...
He had feelings for that woman!
This, this, this!
If this were true, it would be good for Xiao Jing and the others, and it would actually be good for Shu'er as well; their family of five could live together.
But...
Wouldn't this mean they were letting Young Master Yi down?
Also, Shu'er always said that she and Young Master Yi were impossible. Could it be that after giving birth to Xiao Jing and the others, she had developed second thoughts and actually liked Young Master Yi in her heart? After all, he had tested her before, and Shu'er had said she was different from the Night King five years ago, and she no longer liked the Night King.
Then... XXS1
Shu'er liked Young Master Yi?
For a moment, Yun Changfeng felt as if two little people were constantly fighting in front of him.
Tugging him back and forth between Young Master Yi and the Night King.
Who should he choose?
Should he tell Shu'er about this matter?
Yun Changfeng sighed deeply. It seemed like today would be another sleepless night!
...
The General's Mansion.
Yun Shu had just finished bathing and was about to lie down on the bed to rest.
A voice from outside the door, Ruan Xi's, called out.
"Yun Shu? Are you asleep?"
Yun Shu yawned, suppressing her drowsiness, pulled on the clothes nearby and put them on, then opened the door. "What is it? Speak."
Ruan Xi glanced at Jing Heng behind him. "Can you make him get lost? I can't say it while he's here."
"What secrets of yours don't I know? I know all the disgusting things," Jing Heng rolled his eyes and reminded coldly.
Ruan Xi's mouth twitched fiercely. His face was pale now, and he didn't have the energy to bicker with Jing Heng. He could only grit his teeth and say, "Get lost! I just don't want to see you."
If Jing Heng knew about today's events, it would become a stain on him for life, and Jing Heng would mock him endlessly.
Yun Shu glanced at Jing Heng.
Jing Heng would ignore anyone else's words, but he listened to Yun Shu the most. He immediately leaped up and disappeared.
Seeing Jing Heng leave, Ruan Xi breathed a sigh of relief and hurried into the room.
He had barely taken two steps before his knees buckled, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
This move startled Yun Shu.
Yun Shu immediately stared at Ruan Xi's face.
Ruan Xi was already covered in a cold sweat on his forehead.
Looking at Ruan Xi's kneeling posture, Yun Shu suddenly understood.
"What's going on?"
According to her prescription and the medicine she had given him, his condition should not have worsened; it should have been getting better. He only needed to find the last ingredient in Beijiang, and his years of suffering would be resolved with ease.
How could it suddenly worsen to such an unbearable point?
"I was unlucky enough to go back to the old house... They really... they really can't stand to see me have a moment of peace! Yun Shu, I've already been with three women, but the poison still can't be suppressed. You... please help me quickly, otherwise I'll definitely be tortured to death!" Ruan Xi said with some gritted teeth, then quickly pleaded with Yun Shu.
In fact, if he had indulged himself for a whole night tonight like he did five years ago, he would have survived until the next morning, but he would have been completely ruined!
He would probably not even be able to get out of bed in the future.
He endured it all the way here, just to find Yun Shu.
After hearing Ruan Xi, Yun Shu understood. "Let me see."
She directly grabbed Ruan Xi's wrist and examined it carefully.
Upon seeing this, her eyes darkened.
The people in Ruan Xi's household were truly sinister.
If Ruan Xi hadn't met her, he would have become a cripple confined to bed by now.
"Is the situation very serious?" Ruan Xi's lips were tight, his tone unusually grave, and he stared nervously at Yun Shu.
He had a premonition when he arrived that the situation was even more serious than five years ago.
Yun Shu nodded. "It is indeed serious. Fortunately, you stopped in time and came to me, otherwise by tomorrow I would be powerless."
Hearing Yun Shu's answer, Ruan Xi narrowed his eyes.
They wanted to completely cripple him!
...
Half an hour later.
Ruan Xi's ashen face finally returned to normal.
It was no longer as terrifyingly pale.
"It seems I was too lenient with them before. Out of consideration that we share the surname Ruan, I repeatedly let them go, making them think I, Ruan Xi, am a kind and soft-hearted person. They have completely forgotten who I truly am." Ruan Xi's lips curved into a cruel smile.
Yun Shu said nothing. Those were Ruan Xi's family matters.
Moreover, the Ruan family's internal affairs were deeply intertwined. The struggles of a hundred-year-old family were far beyond what ordinary people could comprehend.
She knew very well that these conflicts were nothing to Ruan Xi. It was just that Ruan Xi appeared debauched and nonchalant, as if he didn't care about anything, but in reality, he valued family ties. This was also why he had hesitated to deal harshly with those people.
She glanced at the sky outside and issued a dismissal order, "It's getting late, you should go back."
Ruan Xi, who had been full of murderous intent, immediately widened his eyes upon hearing Yun Shu's dismissal. "Yun Shu, aren't you too cold? My heart and body have been injured, and not only do you not comfort me, you're even chasing me away! Tell me, have you really been enchanted by that pretty boy Yi Zixing? Is that why you're so cold to me?!"
It definitely was!
Yi Zixing, he had investigated him. After the investigation, he had remained silent for a long time, then gnashed his teeth.
How could there be such a pure person as Yi Zixing in the world?!
So pure that he was envious!
"Yi Zixing?" Yun Shu raised an eyebrow. Why did it involve Yi Zixing?
Ruan Xi snorted a couple of times. "You're not actually falling for him, are you? Although I admit he's very likable, and if I were a woman, I'd want to marry him, and the Zhongyong Hou Mansion is also very straightforward, with no messy internal strife. But... this would break my heart. I'm eagerly waiting to be Yun Xiao Jing's father."
"What messy stuff? Don't disturb my sleep, get out quickly." Yun Shu directly chased him away.
"Everyone in the capital knows Yi Zixing likes you and wants to marry you. Do you really have no feelings for him? Also, you went out of the city with Yun Xiao Jing and the Night King today. Could it be... you've fallen for the Night King again?!" As Ruan Xi spoke, he felt like he was getting closer to the truth.
Yun Shu didn't like Yi Zixing, whom he had almost started to like. It must be that she still had feelings for the Night King!
