Indeed, the disputes he was entangled in were not something Xu Heyou could afford to bear. He truly did not dare to get involved with him so recklessly.
As Chu Lan realized his own impulsiveness, he also became painfully aware of how many times he had lost his composure around Xu Heyou.
Under normal circumstances, he should never have been so careless. These were matters he ought to have considered beforehand.
Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo, remaining lost in thought for a long while.
Wei Ruo could not see his face, and therefore could not tell what he was thinking at that moment.
“I’m sorry. I was reckless,” Chu Lan said solemnly as he apologized to Wei Ruo.
Seeing him apologize, Wei Ruo did not say anything further.
“I still have matters to attend to. I won’t chat with you any longer.”
After saying that, Wei Ruo turned and entered the estate.
This time, Chu Lan did not stop her. After Wei Ruo went inside, Chu Lan also led his men away.
Back inside the estate, Wei Ruo’s expression remained heavy.
“Miss, are you still upset about Young Master Zhu?” Xiumei asked softly in consolation. “It was wrong of him to deceive you, but from what I can see, he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would repay kindness with betrayal.”
“Meimei, the timing and place of Zhu Zongyu’s injury are far too coincidental. I’ve been unwilling to think too deeply about it,” Wei Ruo said.
“What coincidence?” Xiumei asked, puzzled.
“The time Zhu Zongyu was injured was almost the same as when the Seventh Prince was hurt. And the time he left the estate was also nearly the same as when the Seventh Prince was found,” Wei Ruo explained.
“That can’t be… then that person is…” Xiumei gasped, covering her mouth in shock.
Wouldn’t that mean Miss had saved the Seventh Prince’s life—only that the Seventh Prince didn’t know his savior was her?
“The possibility is very high. I haven’t confirmed it yet, nor do I want to,” Wei Ruo said. “From now on, the farther we stay from him, the better.”
Her dislike of Chu Lan had already sunk deep into her bones.
When Wei Ruo saved Zhu Zongyu, she did not know that Chu Lan had been ambushed and injured. By the time she learned of it, she was immediately caught up in dealing with the outbreak of plague and had no spare time to think further about the matter.
Later, when she encountered Zhu Zongyu again in Wang Village, his manner and clothing revealed his unusual status. From that moment on, Wei Ruo felt a strong sense of hostility toward him.
She knew this hostility was not only due to his deception, but also because another possibility had crossed her mind.
However, she was unwilling to confirm it. What had happened had already happened, and even if she verified it, it would be of no use—only adding unnecessary trouble for herself.
Xiumei nodded obediently and then asked, “Then… will Miss’s identity be discovered?”
Wei Ruo replied, “We can only hope he doesn’t investigate. If he does look into it carefully, he will definitely find out.”
The identity of Xu Heyou did not truly exist. The real owner of the estate was Wei Qingruo. This could deceive ordinary people, but it could not deceive the Seventh Prince. As long as he wished to investigate, her identity would inevitably be exposed.
Since this was not something she could control, Wei Ruo decided not to trouble herself over it any longer.
In the days that followed, Wei Ruo did not see Zhu Zongyu again. It seemed that he had taken her words to heart.
She later heard that the Sixth Prince’s scheme to ambush the Seventh Prince had been exposed in the capital. He was punished, stripped of his post, and placed under house arrest at his residence.
After that came news that the Seventh Prince had officially reported to the military camp. Due to his injuries from the ambush, his appointment had been delayed by several months.
