Chapter 380 Why did she have to hang herself on this crooked tree?

"This is the letter Li'er left behind."

Song Qing was calmer. He handed the letter to Jiang Wan and said solemnly:

"We all tried to persuade Li'er earlier, but she just said that Qin Ming was different from what we imagined.

But she never said she would marry him, and she even had breakfast with us in the morning, so she didn’t seem like she had run away from home.”

This is also the reason why he urgently brought his sons back.

Madam Song didn't think so, she said with red eyes: "That's not necessarily true.

Ever since she met Qin Ming, she seemed to be possessed and wouldn't listen to a word I said.

There are thousands of good men in the world, why did she have to hang herself on this crooked tree? "

"Ma'am, calm down."

Song Qing hurriedly supported Madam Song, who was somewhat out of control. She covered her face and cried bitterly.

"How can I stay calm? She is a girl and she ran away from home with a man.

If outsiders knew about this, my reputation would be ruined and I would not be able to talk about my husband's family in the future.

If she really marries that Qin Ming, she will be looked down upon as a concubine."

This is the idea of ​​all the noble families in Kyoto. When getting married, one should go through three matchmakers and six bridesmaids to bring her back in a grand ceremony.

Jiang Wan didn't listen carefully to what the two said. She and Song Jiuyuan quickly read the letter left by Song Jiuli.

The letter did reveal the fear of being dominated by Madam Song, and kept repeating that Qin Ming was not a bad person.

She said she was going out to relax and would be back soon.

Jiang Wan put away the letter and looked at Song Jiuyuan, her eyes gloomy, "What do you think?"

She vaguely remembered that Song Jiuli said at that time that she would definitely stay sober.

"Whether she is willing or not, we must not let them go away."

Song Jiuyuan narrowed his eyes and ordered the secret guards to search everywhere for news about Song Jiuli.

Then he said to Song Qing: "Dad, you and mom wait for news at home. You must block the news of Li'er's disappearance."

"I know, don't worry."

Song Qing was a calm person. He hugged Madam Song and kept comforting her.

Only then could Song Jiuyuan let go and look for someone.

"Wanwan, I'm planning to go to Mingyue Villa. You go take care of your own things first, and we'll meet up in Jiuhai later."

Song Jiuyuan's face was full of apology. He had promised to accompany Wanwan, and he couldn't just ignore his sister.

And...Song Jiuli may not be willing.

He and Jiang Wan both found something unreasonable in the letter and naturally wanted to check it out.

"I'll go with you."

Jiang Wan said firmly: "I'm almost ready, let's go first.

As for my brothers, I'll let Qingshan send them a message that we'll meet up at Jiuhai."

"good."

Song Jiuyuan did not delay. He urgently arranged the remaining matters, while Jiang Wan went back to the mansion and threw all the prepared things into the space.

Then he carried a small bag and rushed to the city gate with Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan could also ride a horse, so this time Jiang Wan did not take a carriage, and the two of them traveled on horseback.

They waited for less than half a minute before Song Jiuyuan and Song Jiuchi appeared.

They didn't talk to each other at first, but walked towards the city gate tacitly.

The horse was galloping, Jiang Wan held the reins tightly, and the image of Song Jiuli'er acting coquettishly was in her mind.

After being together for so long, she had long forgotten how Song Jiuli disliked her the most and treated her as her own sister.

Without any rest, they headed straight to Mingyue Villa, determined to stop Song Jiuli before anyone in Mingyue Villa knew about it.

At noon, they had lunch on the spot. Jiang Wan bit into the meat prepared by Qiu Niang and said, “I have told Jiuli before.

You must not put yourself in danger. I don't believe she would be so foolish as to follow you."

A noble lady who grew up in Kyoto, no matter how dumb, knows that she needs three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts.

Song Jiuli is a little stupid, but not to this extent.

"Now that Sister Wanwan mentioned that, I remember that Li'er came to see me yesterday."

Song Jiuchi took a gulp of water, "She asked me if Qin Ming really wanted to marry her.

Would my parents agree? Of course I would say no."

"So she really wanted to marry Qin Ming?"

Song Jiuyuan raised his eyebrows, and the meat in his palm was ground into powder.

Jiang Wan: ...

“She was just asking.”

Song Jiuchi said awkwardly: "You also know that this girl has one idea after another, who knows what she is thinking.

But before she left, she told me that if her family disagreed, she would not force it. "

"Could it be that Qin Ming kidnapped her?"

Jiang Wan handed Song Jiuyuan another piece of meat jerky, "It's useless for us to guess here, let's finish eating and get on with our journey."

"You are right."

Song Jiuyuan finally calmed down. After they finished eating, they hurried on their way again.

When night fell, they hurried to an inn. As soon as they stepped in, they heard a familiar cry.

"Sister Jiang, Song Jiuchi!!!"

It was Qi Chu, holding a sword in her hand, and next to her was Zou Zongyan, who hadn't appeared for some time.

Seeing him, Song Jiuchi showed displeasure, while Qi Chu jumped over excitedly.

"Sister Wanwan, are you here to chase me?"

"You're dreaming. We're on our way to do some work. We're just passing by."

Song Jiuchi rushed to answer, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable and his tone was not very good.

Qi Chu glared at him unhappily, "Song Jiuchi, did I provoke you? Why are you speaking so harshly?"

"neat."

Jiang Wan held onto the somewhat irritable Qi Chu and said, "Don't be angry, we do have something important to do.

Jiuchi is in a hurry, let’s just have a meal and leave.”

“So soon?”

Qi Chu was a little reluctant, and waved to Zou Zongyan, saying, "Cousin, please have dinner with grandpa and cousin.

I'll accompany Sister Jiang and the others, don't worry about me."

"Okay." Zou Zongyan smiled at Jiang Wan and the others, then turned and went upstairs.

Looking at his back, Song Jiuchi rolled his eyes, "You have ulterior motives!"

Qi Chu couldn't help but retort, "My cousin and I are just traveling together normally.

My cousin and grandfather, Master Lin, are here with us. What are you talking about?"

"I'm telling the truth."

Song Jiuchi took a big sip of tea in silence to hide his guilty conscience.

"Don't worry, Grandfather has already made it clear to my cousin, and he doesn't dare to pay attention to me now."

Qi Chu chuckled, "The food in this inn is not very delicious. I brought some cooked food. Sister Jiang, I'll go get some for you."

"Don't bother, I brought it too."

Jiang Wan took out an oil-paper package under the cover of a bundle, which contained a delicious roast duck.

They ordered a few dishes at random. The taste was average, but at least they filled their stomachs.

During this period, Song Jiuchi and Qi Chu kept bickering. Although Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan were helpless, they were not in the mood to care about them.

When they were almost done eating, Qiu Yan paid the bill. From a distance, Jiang Wan saw Lin Tingyu and Zou Qian going downstairs together.

Song Jiuyuan's face turned cold, and he stood up suddenly, "Wanwan, let's go."

"good!"

Jiang Wan didn't want to deal with all this, so she quickly followed Song Jiuyuan out of the inn.

Song Jiuchi realized it later and waved to Qi Chu, saying, "We still have things to do."

“Running so fast.”

Qi Chu turned around and looked at Lin Tingyu and Zou Qian, then he understood the reason.

"Chu Chu, Miss Jiang is still unwilling to forgive me?"

Zou Qian stood there looking at their backs with a sense of self-blame, her eyes filled with confusion.
