Mu Rufeng held her arm and said with a serious expression: "I'm sorry, I lied to you. Xiao Ce's death is indeed related to me, but he died unjustly. Do you know Xiao Ce's identity? Do you know that he is...
..."
Before he finished speaking, Xin Ruyi suddenly pulled out the hairpin from her head and inserted it into his shoulder.
Mu Rufeng was shocked. He looked down at the hairpin Xin Ruyi was holding in her hand. It was something he gave her. Unexpectedly, she didn't even give him a chance to explain, and wanted to kill him.
Does she hate him so much?
Mu Rufeng's eyes were dark. He held Xin Ruyi's hand and said in a deep voice: "You are a doctor. You should know that stabbing here will not kill people. You should come here for this position."
He pulled out the hairpin, held her hand and moved it to his chest.
Xin Ruyi was trembling all over. When she heard Mu Rufeng mention Xiao Ce's identity, she panicked and didn't know why she stabbed him.
She raised her head and looked at Mu Rufeng's desperate eyes, her heart ached. As soon as she loosened her hand holding the hairpin, she heard a bang and the silver hairpin fell to the ground with a loud sound.
Xin Ruyi staggered back a few steps, shaking her head in panic: "What exactly do you want to do? Since you know Xiao Ce's identity, why do you want to take in our mother and son?"
Also, does he know Yi'er's identity?
What is his purpose?
Mu Rufeng stepped forward and did not answer her words, but asked: "Do you want to kill me to avenge Xiao Ce, or to protect Yi'er?"
Xin Ruyi looked at him with wide eyes and said tremblingly: "You... know?"
"Xiao Ce told me this before he died."
Mu Rufeng lowered his eyes slightly and said in a low voice: "Do you know what Xiao Ce did? I am worthy of his brother, but he betrayed me. He secretly colluded with Nanyue to leak military information, which resulted in the defeat of our army and heavy casualties.
.
Thinking of my friendship with him, I did not make the matter public, but broke up with him privately and let him die on the battlefield. Before he died, he told me Yi'er's life experience and asked me to take care of him.
You mother and son.
I have no regrets about this matter, because this is what I should do as the commander of the first army. As for Yi'er, if I really wanted to hurt him, I would have handed him over long ago. How could I want to marry you?
Do you, mother and son, live in the same home?"
Xin Ruyi's eyes widened with shock on her face: "What are you talking about, Xiao Ce colluded with Nanyue? How is this possible?"
He thought that Xiao Ce joined the army because he wanted to gain military power and rebel against Yi'er's father, but how could he collude with Nanyue?
Mu Rufeng looked at her with a frown: "You don't know Xiao Ce's identity?"
Xin Ruyi looked confused, then heard Mu Rufeng say: "He is from Nanyue!"
"Nanyue?"
Xin Ruyi was so shocked that she froze in place. After a while, she murmured: "How can he be from Nanyue?"
Nanyue and Beichen have been at war with each other all year round. The two countries have always been at odds, and the people of the two countries even hate each other.
But how could Xiao Ce be from Nanyue? If he was from Nanyue, then how could he be Yier?
When Mu Rufeng saw her reaction, he knew that she didn't know Xiao Ce's true identity. His face darkened and he said in a calm voice: "Everything I said is true."
Xin Ruyi's mind was in a mess. What she learned today was such a huge blow to her that she couldn't accept it for a while.
It wasn't until she smelled the faint smell of blood that she suddenly woke up and looked at Mu Rufeng, whose chest was stained red with blood, and asked quickly: "Are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I..."
Before she could finish her words, Mu Rufeng suddenly reached out and hugged her fiercely, and her hoarse voice sounded a bit domineering: "You haven't told me yet, do you want to kill me to avenge Xiao Ce or to protect Yi'er?
