Chapter 168 I wish you happiness
Mu Xiaoqiao picked up the water cup on the table and gently turned it in her hands. "I'm afraid it's not that easy for a woman to cut off her love."
Hu Sanniang had admired Ruan Haoyu for a long time and went to great lengths to marry him, but she was divorced before they could even consummate the marriage. Mu Xiaoqiao was afraid that she would be unable to get over it.
"She is just obsessed with Ruan Haoyu before, and may not be able to let go. We can only cut the Gordian knot now, otherwise dragging her down will only ruin her life."
Mu Xiaoqiao knew that what Ruan Haoyu said was right, "Then in three days, we will set off for the imperial city of the Great Rui Kingdom. I will go ahead and wait for you five miles away."
She was afraid that Hu Sanniang would see her and become jealous and hateful, causing unnecessary trouble.
"Let Nishang's people follow you." Mu Xiaoqiao added.
Ruan Haoyu knew that she was still a little worried. After all, no woman would be willing to let her husband have a secret meeting with another woman. Mu Xiaoqiao was already very generous to be able to do this.
"Okay." He touched Mu Xiaoqiao's head lovingly.
Three days later, outside Fengshui City.
It was spring, and everything was reviving. The willow trees outside Fengshui City had already sprouted tender buds, and the official road was bustling with people coming and going.
Mu Xiaoqiao had already left. Ruan Haoyu sat in the carriage and parked beside the city gate. Nishang's Phantom Guards were nowhere to be seen, but Ruan Haoyu knew that he was within the Phantom Guards' sight.
A horse neighed, and Ruan Haoyu looked up, and saw Hu Sanniang, dressed in red, riding on a tall horse, standing in front of him.
She today was very different from what Ruan Haoyu had seen her in the past. She was no longer dressed like a girl from the boudoir. Instead, she looked a bit like a chivalrous woman in the martial arts world. Her long hair was tied up high and fluttered in the wind. She had a sense of freedom and elegance.
"Your Highness, we meet again."
Ruan Haoyu was a little surprised by her address. He jumped off the carriage and stood beside it with a smile on his face. "Yes, Sanniang, we meet again."
Hu Sanniang also got off her horse and stood in front of him, holding the horse, staring at him with her phoenix eyes, "Are you going back to the Great Rui Kingdom?"
A gust of spring breeze blew across their faces, making the hems of their clothes fly wildly. The two of them always maintained a distance of one meter between them, and neither of them took another step forward.
Ruan Haoyu nodded, "Yes, I am going back to the Great Rui Kingdom. What about you? What are your plans for the future?"
"Me?" Hu Sanniang laughed at herself. "I have no plans. Maybe I will travel around the world, or maybe I will join the army with my father. Anyway, I will not stay in the sad place of Yanling City anymore."
Ruan Haoyu was silent for a while before he said softly, "I'm sorry, I'm not worthy of you. You deserve someone better."
Hu Sanniang smiled and said, "What if I say it has to be you?"
"I already have someone I love in my life, so I can only let you down. After we say goodbye today, I'm afraid we won't meet again. You should let go of your obsession so that you can live happily. I don't want to ruin your life."
"My beloved? Mu Xiaoqiao?"
Ruan Haoyu took a deep breath, stared into her eyes, and said firmly: "Yes."
Hu Sanniang laughed bitterly, "You would rather like a maid than even look at me."
"No, in my heart, she has never been a maid," Ruan Haoyu said solemnly, "Love has no distinction between high and low. Even though I'm facing a rich princess today, I still say this. I love Mu Xiaoqiao, and she is the only one in my life. I will never have other thoughts."
Hu Sanniang stared at his face, as if trying to tell from his expression whether he was lying, but unfortunately, she was disappointed.
In fact, she had already thought of this ending when she came here, but now that she heard Ruan Haoyu say it himself, the feeling was beyond description.
Tears were streaming down her face, but Hu Sanniang wiped them away quickly, then smiled again and stretched out her hand to Ruan Haoyu, "Do you have something to give me?"
Ruan Haoyu hesitated for a moment, then placed the divorce letter he had prepared long ago in her palm, "I'm sorry for keeping you busy for so long. I wish you happiness in the future."
"Happiness? Yes, I will be happy." Hu Sanniang took a deep breath, raised her tearful eyes, and held the divorce letter. "Today, I give you freedom, not because you want to leave, nor because you don't love me, but because I want to fulfill you and let myself go. It's time to wake up from this dream. From now on, you go your way and I go mine. I heard that Chu and Dayui have formed an alliance. The next time we meet, maybe on the battlefield where we jointly attack other countries, I hope that by then, we can still be good allies."
"It's a deal." Ruan Haoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Sanniang looked at him deeply again, then suddenly let go of the reins and hugged Ruan Haoyu.
Ruan Haoyu's body froze, and he subconsciously tried to break free, but he heard Hu Sanniang whisper in his ear: "I really envy that maid, but I won't pester you. I'm not bad either. I will meet someone better than you."
After saying that, she let him go, climbed onto the horse, turned around and said with a smile: "Sixth Prince, Ruan Haoyu, goodbye, I hope we will meet again!"
She rode away, leaving Ruan Haoyu standing alone in the spring breeze. He looked in the direction where she went and slowly curled the corners of his lips.
"Is it over like this? What a pity, this girl looks pretty good."
A sigh suddenly sounded behind him. Ruan Haoyu turned around and saw Ruan Haofeng also leading a horse, looking in the direction where Hu Sanniang left.
Ruan Haoyu raised his eyebrows, "You think it's a pity? How about I go back and report to my father and ask him to help you propose marriage to the general?"
"That's not necessary," Ruan Haofeng waved his hand, "I still prefer the beauties from our Great Rui Country. They are more romantic."
Ruan Haoyu snorted, stopped talking, jumped onto the carriage and started driving. Before he fled from Yanling City to Fengshui City, he was forced to learn how to drive a carriage. Now he felt that driving a carriage was quite comfortable. The breeze was blowing on his face, the scenery was pleasant, and the fragrance of flowers was intoxicating. It was quite pleasant.
Ruan Haofeng rode beside him on horseback. Ruan Haoyu drove the carriage while saying calmly, "You are the second prince of the Great Rui Kingdom, and you don't even bring a guard with you when you go out?"
"Don't you bring guards with you? Oh, by the way, I forgot that you also have Phantom Guards. What a pity! I am just a poor prince with nothing."
Ruan Haoyu curled his lips, "Don't be ridiculous. Your guards are all in the dark. They will only be more than the Phantom Guards, but definitely not less. Don't think I don't know."
He had already learned from Nishang about his second brother. He was an ambitious man who had his eyes on the throne. He had previous experience in the military camp and had made many contributions. In the past two years, there were more and more voices supporting him in the court.
But he has one good thing, that is, he has good character. Whatever he wants, he relies on his own ability to fight for it. He never uses any tricks. He is an upright person.
