Ye Xiuchen was a little confused. As a grown man, he naturally didn't want to humiliate himself, but he felt that what Mu Yun'an said was reasonable.
It would be better to die happily than suffer severe torture. He took a deep breath, cheered up and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you. I'll go find her and make it clear."
Hearing this, Mu Yun'an relaxed his eyebrows and said, "That's right." After saying that, he took Ye Xiuchen's arm and dragged him to Qionghua Palace where Jiang Ru lived.
Mu Yun'an poked his head around and saw that there was no one in front of the palace door, so he pushed Ye Xiuchen and said, "Go quickly."
Ye Xiuchen was a little nervous, but he couldn't regret what he had said, right? He straightened his clothes and walked in. When he came to the palace door, he didn't reach out to knock on the door.
He didn't know what to say when he saw her? How to tell her that he liked her.
Just as he was hesitating, he heard a creaking sound as the door was opened.
Jiang Ru looked surprised when she saw the person standing in front of the door.
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "You..."
They were silent again at the same time, waiting for the other person to speak first. The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.
Jiang Ru took the lead and said: "If you have anything to say, come in and talk."
She invited people in.
Ye Xiuchen walked in. He took a look at the furnishings in the room and found that there were many dolls in her room, some made of wood and some made of ceramics. They were in cute shapes and very cute.
He took one casually and asked curiously: "So you like this thing?"
Jiang Ru snatched the doll from his hand and said, "What's wrong, can't I like this?"
Ye Xiuchen smiled and said: "I didn't mean it like that, I just didn't expect you to like such children's things."
Jiang Ru curled her lips, put the pottery figurine back in its place and said, "In your mind, I must be a ruthless woman who will do whatever it takes, and who only cares about power."
Ye Xiuchen hurriedly explained: "I didn't think so, I just think you are usually fierce and unforgiving."
Jiang Ru wanted to die after hearing his words. It turned out that her impression in his heart was so bad.
She turned around and asked in an annoyed voice: "What are you doing here?"
Ye Xiuchen looked at her back and said, "I have already pleaded with the regent. He will not force you to have a marriage."
Jiang Ru was startled. She turned around and looked at him with some confusion and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Ye Xiuchen said in a low voice: "Don't you like Wen Qiyu? Since you have someone you like, how can you get married?
Don't worry, the regent is a sensible person and he won't make things difficult for you."
Jiang Ru: "..."
She looked at Ye Xiuchen, and it took her a while to realize: "Why do you want to help me plead with the regent?"
Ye Xiuchen shook hands nervously. He slowly raised his head and looked at her and said, "Because I want you to live a happy life and marry the man you like, instead of letting others control your life."
Jiang Ru's eyes heated up after hearing his words. She sniffed and asked again: "Why are you so nice to me? Is it because I saved your life?"
Ye Xiuchen shook his head: "No, it's because I like you too."
Jiang Ru was shocked and in disbelief: "You... like me?"
