Xiangli lowered her head, thinking of all the past, she couldn't help but feel sad. Since she ran away from home and went to the capital, she must never go back. When she goes back, what awaits her is a married man, a half-dead old man, and the nanny, Mrs. Wang, is indispensable. To be implicated.
"Uncle, aunt, I won't go."
Xiangli is very stubborn. If she doesn't mention the marriage contract, she can't just stand by and watch because of the relationship between the two families, otherwise she will be a wolf-hearted person.
The worst result is nothing more than death. If you are not afraid of death, what is there to be afraid of?
"Silly girl, how can it be as simple as you think?"
Yang Xu's mother stood up and took Xiangli's hand. Under the light, her hand was black and thin, like a pair of chicken feet, with blue veins on the back of her hand, trembling slightly.
In the past few months, people have been cold and warm, and she has seen too many of her son Yang Xu's former classmates, but no one is willing to help, even if they come out to say a word of justice.
Due to the influence of the Chen family and the Du family, they kept silent like cicadas.
She was restless at first, feeling that these people were not righteous enough, and then slowly calmed down, from another perspective, if she were them, she would just ignore them for fear of self-protection.
If so, what is wrong with the other party?
Even so, she still hoped that someone could stand up, even if she said something irrelevant, but no one stood behind them.
It is impossible for ordinary people to have the ability to fight. Now things are still on the cusp, and there is no shortage of fresh topics in Kyoto. Once the limelight passes, the two of them will not be alive.
"Auntie, what do you mean?"
Xiangli was shocked. She thought that if she lived for a day, she would fight to the end. Evil never prevails, the truth will always come to light one day.
"That's what I mean."
Yang Xu's father shook his head, they are businessmen, so they are considered new to the world.
The Chen family and the Du family are in high positions, and they are meticulous in their work, so how could they leave a big handle? When the matter subsides, the two will be the thorn in the side to be solved first.
In this way, Du Ruohe is a woman, and if she enters Songhe Academy, she will lose her reputation at most, but it has nothing to do with killing and mutilating corpses.
After all, there must be evidence, witnesses, and physical evidence for what you say. If the old couple die, who else can stand up for Yang Xu?
Li Haitang stood in the dark, nodding frequently, this old couple are smart people, but it's a pity that they are middle-aged and encounter a catastrophe, they can't help themselves.
Xiangli is kind-hearted, but not stupid, she slowly recalled it, her eyes were full of astonishment. Indeed, it's not just that you want to avoid it, the other party will press on every step of the way and kill them all.
"Xiangli, it's not safe for you to stay in the capital. If the vicious dogs of the Chen family and the Du family learn about our relationship, they might target you. Xu'er is dead, so why bother to implicate innocent people?"
Yang Xu's mother shook her head. The reason they couldn't afford to kneel in front of the Jingzhaoyi Yamen was because Mr. Zhang was a bit responsible and a good official, so the couple decided to take a gamble, at least to get temporary protection.
It is not yet known whether there is a possibility of overturning the case, but in the recent period, the rumors have not been as they were in the past two months.
"Uncle, Auntie, I understand your kindness, but Brother Yang is no longer here. Although I have never been in the family, I am still half of the Yang family. If you don't dislike me, I will be your daughter, and I will take care of you in the future."
This sentence, Xiangli said very firmly. The marriage contract between the two families was verbal, and his father refused to admit it, so she couldn't have the cheek to say that she was the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, so she could only settle for the next best thing.
One must have a conscience, how could she run to live a happy life by herself after learning the truth?
"Yes, sir, madam, this is our lady's filial piety."
Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything after all. From her standpoint, of course she hoped that her young lady would no longer interact with the Yang family and live in peace.
But she also knew that Miss was not that kind of person.
Instead of thinking about this matter all your life, it's better to follow your own heart.
From the moment the master and servant escaped from Cui's house, even if they had died once, they were fearless.
Yang Xu's parents wiped their tears from each other, then hugged Xiangli, weeping bitterly, both sad and moved, showing their true feelings, which made Li Haitang who was standing on one side feel complicated.
Perhaps it is not impossible to reverse the case.
The topic is all based on hype, she has a little idea in mind.
Long time no see, Xiangli and Yang Xu's parents talked a lot, and by the time they had finished talking, it was already midnight.
"It's too late, go back quickly."
In order not to find out the relationship between Xiangli and themselves, Yang Xu's parents began to chase away people, and knelt down to Li Haitang, thanking Li Haitang solemnly.
"You two elders should go to bed early, and after we think of a way, I will send my maid over to deliver the letter."
Li Haitang withdrew Wufu and let the two get to know each other. She found that Yang Xu's parents were very vigilant and didn't trust people easily.
Walking out of the alley, I saw a tall figure standing at the entrance of the alley with the light behind it.
Li Haitang held up her skirt and ran forward with big strides, still shouting, "Husband!"
"I'll take you home."
Xiao Lingchuan took his wife's hand and touched her head with the other hand, his voice was low but soft, "Are you hungry? I brought you scallion pancakes."
On a summer night, the scallion pancakes were still warm and wrapped in oiled paper. Li Haitang opened the oiled paper bag and tore a piece along the edge. The golden pancakes contained chopped green onions and fried dry oil shuttles. Take a bite, it is crispy and fragrant with chopped green onion.
Li Haitang felt that he was really hungry, so he didn't speak, and lowered his head to bite the scallion pancake.
The corner of her mouth always curled into a shallow arc, her heart was satisfied and at ease.
Wufu sniffled, and deliberately took two steps back, woohoo, my wife is eating alone again, the master is a spoiled wife, so just abuse them if she has nothing to do, what if she really wants to get married?
To marry a good family, at least you have to have some background, white flour, big steamed buns, green onion pancakes are enough, how wonderful!
And Xiangli looked envious, if Yang Xu was still alive...
Forget it, being alive has nothing to do with her. Uncle and aunt said that in fact, Yang Xu had always loved her as his own sister.
Other than that, there are some things I don't want to hide from her.
"Miss, alas!"
Mrs. Wang felt bad, she felt that although Yang Xu was dead, she couldn't speak ill of the dead, but the Yang family did some things that were not proper.
They thought that the only one who broke the marriage contract of the two families was their own master, but they didn't know that Yang Xu himself had ulterior motives.
When he was studying at Songhe Academy, he fell in love with the younger sister of a classmate, and kept writing letters in private.
Although the letters are all about poetry, which is not too much, but according to etiquette, it belongs to private giving and receiving! I have a fiancée, how can I still be like this...
