She didn’t want to stay here, let alone have these people together.
Chu You’s heart ached. He glared at Father Li and the others coldly and reprimanded, “Backdown.”
The two words had a shocking aura like lightning and were dignified without being angry. The oppressive aura of a superior was displayed completely as he shouted.
Father Li was so scared that he hurriedly picked up his son, called his mother and eldest daughter, and retreated far away.
As Li Zhaodi walked, she couldn’t help but turn around. She saw that Chu You, who had a cold expression just now, had become infinitely gentle and considerate when facing Li Yunrong.
Was this Kang Wang?!
He looked even more noble than the heir of the British Duke, Fang Mingfeng. He was born to be a nobleman that people respected…
Her biological sister was about to marry the Emperor’s brother, but what about her?
The person she married was just a small merchant who opened a store. He was extremely crude and died young. She had only married for two years and became a widow. Her in-laws even scolded her for jinxing her husband.
Li Zhaodi’s heart was sour and bitter. She looked at Li Yunrong in a daze and thought of Gu Yanfei and the Eldest Prince again. She had only glanced at the Eldest Prince from afar.
The Eldest Prince was as handsome as a painting, and Kang Wang was noble and dignified. The two of them had their own merits and were both dragons and phoenixes among men.
Jealousy bit her heart like a poisonous worm.
Chu You raised his hand and gently touched Li Yunrong’s sideburns. His eyes were filled with gentleness, and his voice was even more affectionate. “Rong’er, soon. You just need to stay here for a few days.”
Three days later, they would get married.
After the wedding, she would be his princess consort. No one could take her away from him anymore.
“I know, it’s been hard on you…” As Chu You spoke, he looked around the narrow and small courtyard. The ground in the courtyard was paved with stone, and a loquat tree was planted in the northwest corner. He could even hear the rough cursing of his neighbors next to the courtyard wall…
Chu You frowned deeply, his face as stiff as cold iron.
Because Li Yunrong was going to get married from the Li family, Chu You originally wanted them to stay in a house under the name of Kang Wang’s residence, but Fang Mingfeng firmly disagreed. He kept saying, “Rong Rong has already suffered enough being locked in the imperial prison these days. We can’t let her even get married so lowly.”
“Do you want her to marry into Kang Wang’s residence from Kang Wang’s Manor?! What will others say about her? If they say that the Li family is the slave of Kang Wang’s Manor, what will happen to her!!”
“No, definitely not!”
“Since you’re Rong Rong’s future husband, why can’t you consider her more from her perspective!”
Under Fang Mingfeng’s insistence, Chu You compromised and let Fang Mingfeng arrange the current residence for the Li family.
The house was neither big nor small. It was only two rooms, and it was barely considered clean and tidy. Fang Mingfeng even arranged for a few servants to serve him.
This two-in-one residence wasn’t bad for ordinary families, but in Chu You’s eyes, it was really not presentable. Even the servants in the prince’s residence lived better than here.
At the thought of his Rong’er living in such a broken and small house for three days, Chu You felt like his heart was being cut by a knife. He felt that his princess consort had suffered too much.
He really wanted to bring Li Yunrong back to the prince’s residence now.
Li Yunrong’s face was still pale, and she had mixed feelings. After the initial embarrassment and shock, she began to calm down. She carefully packed up the little emotions in her heart, and her breathing gradually became stable.
She gently let go of Chu You’s wrist and said considerately, “Your Highness, you can leave first. I’m fine.”
“Rong’er…” Chu You hadn’t seen Li Yunrong for a few days. His heart was filled with yearning and he wanted to accompany her more.
Li Yunrong smiled tiredly and said, “Your Highness, I just came out of prison. I also want to wash up and rest for a while.”
She looked at Chu You without blinking, her smile as bright and beautiful as ever.
Only she knew the nervousness in her heart. Her heart was a mess, and she had to use almost all her strength to barely not look away.
She didn’t want Kang Wang to stay here and didn’t want him to see this despicable family again.
They made her feel like a fig leaf had been pulled off, making her unable to raise her head.
How could she have such a relative!
Li Yunrong felt as if a hard object was stuffed in her chest. She couldn’t breathe and really wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
However, she couldn’t let Kang Wang see the abnormality. She could only smile as if nothing had happened.
Chu You couldn’t bear to part with her. He caressed her delicate cheek with his right hand and said gently, “Then I’ll leave first. Rest well. I’ll come and see you tomorrow morning.”
Chu You impatiently reminded Li Yunrong before leaving reluctantly and getting into the carriage that he came in.
Only when the carriage disappeared into the alley did Li Yunrong turn around and return to the residence. The Li family was still standing under the loquat tree, not far away.
Father Li looked at Li Yunrong eagerly. Aunt Li took out an oil paper bag for her precious grandson, but Li Hao didn’t care at all. He pushed Aunt Li away roughly.
Li Zhaodi quickly supported the staggering Aunt Li and was scolded by Aunt Li.
This family made Li Yunrong unable to look at them directly.
Li Yunrong endured the disgust in her heart and slowly walked in front of them. She asked calmly, “Where’s my room?”
Her gaze and expression seemed to be looking at a stranger..
