Yu Ru had been a servant in Marquis Qingchuan fu ever since she was sensible. Because she was clever with her hands and beautiful since childhood, she was very fortunate to be chosen to serve in Eldest Young Miss' courtyard.
In Yu Ru's heart, her family's eldest young miss was an especially kind and naive person. She was usually very amiable and approachable towards the servants, so Yu Ru had always been loyal and devoted to Shen Qing Jin.
When did things start to change? Yu Ru remembered that on a certain day in spring this year, the Eldest Miss had fainted from a cold. Yu Ru stayed by the bed all night, and the Eldest Miss woke up the next day. However, at that time, the Eldest Miss's eyes were cold and resentful, looking especially scary.
It was also from that moment onwards that Eldest Miss changed completely. She became preoccupied and liked to daydream. Sometimes, she would even secretly curse at Second Miss.
Yu Ru didn't know what happened to Eldest Young Miss. She was just a servant and only knew to be loyal to her Master. Whatever the Master wanted her to do, she would do it with all her heart and soul. Therefore, on the day of the celebration banquet held for Eldest Young Master, Yu Ru obeyed Chen Qing Jin's instructions and unhesitatingly handed the tea that had been spiked to Chen Mian and Su Wan. After that, she separately led the two people to that remote wing room and knocked them unconscious for the time being … …
In fact, Yu Ru knew that doing this was wrong, but she didn't like Eldest Young Miss Su. Not only because that Young Miss Su's character wasn't good, but also because … Yu Ru herself had always secretly liked Shen Yu Shu.
Therefore, even though she knew that she was personally destroying a person's innocence, Yu Ru still went against her conscience and did it. In the end … she suffered the consequences of her own actions.
Her days in Duke Zhenguo's Public House were hopeless. The Wang family even sent people to watch over her, afraid that she would seek death.
On several nights where she was tortured to the point where she wished she was dead, Yu Ru prayed in her heart for someone to save her. Even if that person gave her a knife and killed her immediately, she would be grateful to him and repay him in her next life.
But now …
Yu Ru was free.
When Yu Ru changed into a brand new maid uniform and stood in the rear courtyard of Marquis Jingning fu, she still felt that she was in a dream.
She was finally rescued by someone.
And the person who had saved her from the abyss of suffering was not the Eldest Miss that she had always wanted, nor was it the hero in her heart, but the one … she had always disliked, and had even personally harmed, Eldest Miss Su.
When Yu Ru was brought over by Su Wan's personal maid, Wen Yue, Su Wan was arranging flowers in a blue and white porcelain vase with extreme boredom.
"Young Miss, I've brought him here."
Wen Yue brought Yu Ru in front of Su Wan and immediately turned around and retreated behind Su Wan.
Su Wan's hand that was holding the flower slightly paused. She looked up and saw Yu Ru's palm-sized face. She had to say that this girl was pretty.
"Su, Miss Su!"
Seeing Su Wan again, Yu Ru's mood was especially complicated. She didn't know how she should face her. At the same time, Yu Ru's heart was also faintly afraid, afraid that the people of Marquis Jingning fu would know the truth of what happened that day.
"In the future, you can just call me Miss like Wen Yue."
Su Wan actually understood Yu Ru's mood. She absent-mindedly instructed and then carefully sized up Yu Ru a few times, looking her up and down, making her feel goosebumps.
"Yu Ru is already dead. In the future, you have no relationship with Marquis Qingchuan fu. From today onwards, you will be called Wen Yu. From now on, I will be your Master. Do you remember all these?"
"Yes."
Seeing that Su Wan did not make things difficult for her, Yu Ru took a deep breath and looked at Su Wan with a gaze full of gratitude: "This servant ….. Wen Yu, will properly serve Miss."
From this moment onwards, she obtained a new life.
Wen Yu knew that from this moment onwards, she was no longer Yu Ru and no longer had any relationship with Marquis Qingchuan fu. As a servant, she must scrupulously abide by her duty, this way she can stay in Marquis Jingning fu for a long time … …
20th of the tenth month, the first heavy snow of the year fell in the Imperial Capital. Stepping on the thick snow, Su Wan brought people to the entrance of Jin Wangfu for the first time.
Right now, the stove in the hall was burning brightly. Su Rui was draped in a thick purple cloak and reclined on the soft couch at the side. Seeing Su Wan's figure, Su Rui's eyes flashed with a touch of joy, but he glanced at Wen Yue who was closely following behind Su Wan and Su Rui imperceptibly wrinkled his brows.
"One of us."
As if seeing through Su Rui's thoughts, Su Wan couldn't help but whisper.
Wen Yue was the daughter of Su Wan's wet nurse and grew up together with Su Wan. Although she was only a servant in the fu, the two people's relationship was extremely good. Even Liu-shi treated Wen Yue much better than ordinary maids.
So she was one of us ah!
Hearing Su Wan's words, Su Rui finally set his heart at ease. Putting away his usual sickly appearance towards the ministers in the court, Su Rui sat up and looked at Su Wan with a gentle face: "Why haven't you come to see me for so many days?"
Because of his special identity, Su Rui could not frequently leave the Wangfu. On that day, he left Big White behind in the hunting grounds so that Su Wan could come and find him at any time. But almost half a month had passed and this was the first time Su Wan came to visit.
"I'm very busy."
Su Wan said and then very naturally sat beside Su Rui: "There shouldn't be His Majesty's spies in this Wangfu right?"
"Ah."
Su Rui smiled: "I'm very safe here. The dead Emperor still thinks that he has me firmly in his hands. Regarding everything in the Wangfu, he won't ask about it."
Speaking of this, Su Rui felt somewhat sullen: "Xiao Wan, how about I just directly kill him and then let the Fifth Prince directly ascend the throne. What do you say?"
Su Wan: … …
Wen Yue: Oh no, oh no! This servant seems to have heard something incredible. I won't be silenced and dismembered right?
… …
"I know you're formidable."
Su Wan somewhat helplessly looked at Su Rui: "But this time, just bear with it. Don't you find it boring to solve the problem so violently?"
Regarding this world, Su Wan didn't care too much about it at the beginning. But as soon as she entered the mission, such a big thing happened. This made Su Wan's disgust towards Shen Qing Jin soar –
Su Wan will not let Shen Qing Jin finish playing so quickly. She wants to slowly make her fall from heaven to hell the moment she sees the hope of revenge.
What she cares about, she will lose in this life.
What she wants to retaliate, she will not be able to get her wish in this life.
Su Wan wants to make this woman regret her rebirth, regret everything in this life –
Was the previous life bitter? Was it painful? That was because you were stupid.
Was this life still bitter? Or was it painful?
Then you deserve it even more, because this was all your own doing … …
Glancing at the chill in Su Wan's eyes, Su Rui knew that Su Wan was serious about this mission. And once she became serious, Su Rui could only light candles for Shen Qing Jin.
Offending our family's Xiao Wan, serves you right to be unlucky … …
Of course, whether Shen Qing Jin died or not, Su Rui didn't care. He only cared about his own "welfare". As the saying goes, after eating the marrow, one would yearn for the taste. Recently, our family's General Su has been thinking about reliving old dreams and whatnot. Right now, Su Wan was by his side. Su Rui's thoughts started to come alive again. He first calmly raised his hand and put it around Su Wan's shoulder. Seeing that Su Wan didn't have any reaction, he was about to take a yard after taking an inch, but he saw that Su Wan's eyes were already focused, smiling at him: "Wangye, what are you doing?"
"Wu."
Su Rui somewhat resentfully smiled: "Since I came today, I'll go back a bit later. What do you want to eat, I'll instruct the kitchen to make it for you. It's definitely more delicious than the ones in Marquis Jingning fu."
"Alright."
Hearing Su Rui's words, Su Wan nodded her head: "This is my first time coming to Jin Wangfu. Accompany me for a walk. Wen Yue, you don't need to follow and serve."
When Wen Yue heard Su Wan's words, she just recovered from her sluggish state and blankly nodded her head: "This servant, this servant understands."
Although the accumulated snow in the Wangfu's courtyard had already been cleared, the rockery and trees in the rear courtyard were still covered in a layer of snow.
Su Rui was afraid that Su Wan would freeze and draped his cloak over her shoulders as soon as they went out. The two people slowly walked in the Wangfu, no one spoke, but their hearts were exceptionally peaceful.
"Su Rui, have you ever thought about the future?"
Right now, there were no outsiders by their side, only then did Su Wan dare to directly call Su Rui's name.
She didn't mind Wen Yue knowing about Young Miss Su and Jin Qinwang's ambiguous relationship, but she couldn't let anyone know of their mission enforcer identity … …
In the future, in the future … …
Su Rui's gaze retracted from a distance and directly fell on Su Wan's face: "You are my future, I am your future."
