Chapter 460 Shen Xia is angry and Song Yun is sad

Song Yun had been struggling with whether or not to tell Shen Xia the truth, but he knew that sooner or later he would be unable to keep it secret.

Finally, he mustered up his courage, took a deep breath and said, "Back then, the reason why Princess Rui was able to come to Wuyang County was actually because I wrote a letter to tell her that Gu Zizhan was here."

Shen Xia listened to Song Yun's confession quietly, frowning tightly.

No wonder Princess Rui suddenly came to Wuyang County that year. She always thought that it was Sister Zi Yan who let the secret slip when she returned to Beijing.

Now it seems unlikely. After all, when Sister Zi Yan went back, there was no sign of any relationship between the two.

Shen Xia raised her head, staring at the panic in Song Yun's eyes, and asked sternly: "Why did you do this? Don't you know what happened at that time? It's okay for me to be injured. After all, it was me who caused it. But the eldest brother and the third brother were beaten all over. I was filled with guilt and pain, do you know that?"

Song Yun reached out and tried to hold Shen Xia's hand, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry..."

However, Shen Xia immediately shook off his hand indifferently.

Song Yun whispered, "At that time, I saw that my elder brother and the others loved you so much that I didn't want you to marry someone else. But later I realized that it wasn't the case. In fact, I just selfishly didn't want to see you with others. Because I was also moved without realizing it!"

Shen Xia stared at Song Yun closely, her eyes full of disappointment and anger. She asked, "Why did you hide it from me for so long? No, there must be other people who know about this. With your personality, it would be better to admit it yourself instead of letting others tell me, right?"

In other words, if he hadn't been discovered, he might never have told her the truth.

Song Yun lowered his head silently and said softly: "Yes..."

Shen Xia turned around, not wanting to look at him any more, nor to listen to any of his explanations.

She just wanted to leave here quickly and calm down. She was implicated in this plot.

Song Yun's heart suddenly tightened. He hurriedly grabbed Shen Xia's hand and said anxiously, "Xia Xia, listen to me. I know it's wrong for me to do this. As long as you are willing to forgive me, I can do anything."

Shen Xia looked at Song Yun quietly, her eyes were cold and resolute, and she said firmly: "Let go."

Song Yun looked at Shen Xia's unusual calmness, and a strong sense of worry surged in his heart.

He was afraid of what he would do if Xia Xia just ignored him.

"Xia Xia..."

"Let go. Don't make me repeat it a second time." Shen Xia's voice was low and powerful, with a hint of anger that could not be concealed.

Song Yun stared at Shen Xia blankly. Her slightly angry expression made him feel distressed and helpless.

Over the years, apart from seeing her occasionally being mean to her children, she has never been mean to anyone in her family, not even the servants.

She was really angry.

This made Song Yun panic.

But in order not to make her more angry, he let it go.

Shen Xia strode straight back to her room, with Jixiang and Ruyi standing at the door.

Watching Shen Xia coming back angrily.

The two looked at each other and wondered why he came back in such a rage since he was fine that night.

Look at the fourth young master following behind.

I could only stop in the middle of the yard and dared not go forward.

The fourth young master made his wife angry.

How could that be? Jixiang was puzzled.

"What's wrong, ma'am?" Jixiang asked in a low voice.

"I don't know either!" Ruyi shook her head.

"Wasn't it fine just now?" Jixiang frowned.

"Yeah, it was fine just now." Ruyi agreed.

"Could it be that the Fourth Young Master has made Madam unhappy?" Jixiang guessed.

"That's impossible. The fourth young master is so good to the lady." Ruyi retorted.

"Why is that?" Jixiang looked confused.

"Forget it, don't worry about it for now. You'll know after asking Madam later." Ruyi said.

After Shen Xia returned to her room, she sat on the bed and sulked.

"Madam, what's wrong with you? Who made you unhappy?" Jixiang walked in and asked.

"It's okay!" Shen Xia said with a bad look on his face.

"Madam, please don't be angry. It's not good for your health if you get angry." Ruyi advised.

"It's nothing, go get some water! I'm going to wash up and go to bed first." Shen Xia's mind was in a mess.

Then I took a bath, took care of my skin, and prepared to go to bed.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

However, Shen Xia did not respond.

Then, a voice came from the door: "Xia Xia, it's my second brother, can I come in?"

Shen Xia said to the door: "Second brother, go to bed early! I want to rest."

There was silence at the door for a long while before he spoke: "Okay, then Xia Xia, go to bed early. Call me if you need anything."

Shen Xia replied: "Okay."

Song Ming looked at the closed door, slowly stepped back, turned around and walked to Song Yun's side.

He said softly, "Go to sleep first! We'll talk about it tomorrow. Xia Xia is still angry now. Everything will be fine once she calms down."

Song Yun shook his head: "Second brother, don't worry about me, go back to sleep first!"

Song Ming comforted her, "I'm with you. You did it for us back then..."

Song Yun looked at the candlelight in the door and the beautiful figure reflected in it, and his heart felt as if it was being grabbed and the pain was unbearable.

However, he does not regret speaking out about it.

Thinking back on what happened back then, the only thing that surprised him was that Princess Rui would take action.

He thought that as long as Gu Zizhan was there, Xia Xia would not be harmed.

Because he could also see that Gu Zizhan really loved her.

At worst, Princess Rui would make a few sarcastic remarks to Xia Xia, but given Xia Xia's personality, she would definitely not be able to swallow this.

Then he and Gu Zizhan went their separate ways.

Even though Xia Xia is usually kind to everyone, being nice to others is also a prerequisite for others to be nice to her.

But if someone dares to really hurt her, she will never forgive him/her easily.

He was really scared.

But if he had to do it again, he would do it again.

But he will follow along, and if he is beaten he can take it.

Instead of letting her get hurt.

Shen Xia packed up and gently blew out the light, and darkness instantly enveloped the entire room.

She sat quietly beside the bed, staring at the endless darkness ahead, her thoughts gradually drifting back to the past.

Thinking back on what happened back then, she could understand it now, even though she knew that Song Yun was behind it.

At that time, she was blinded by love and forgot the importance of marrying someone of equal social status in this era.

Not to mention this time, even in the previous life, being well-matched was an important consideration in marriage.

Therefore, she later chose to accept the Song family's arrangement.

Rather than being looked down upon by others, it is better to rely on your own efforts to build a glorious family.

After all, the glory she created with her own hands can give her enough confidence.
