Chapter 57: A Shocking Tragedy
"We are destined to be together!" Yan Xing said seriously.
"Pfft~" Rao Ji couldn't help laughing, and immediately said seriously: "Sorry, I'm rude."
"Master Yan said the same thing when he saw a dog on the roadside last time." The young man complained expressionlessly.
Yan Xing pointed at the two of them and said firmly, "Don't disbelieve me, she and I are really destined to be together. We just met this morning!"
Xie Qingyu pressed the switch on the wheelchair, and the wheelchair moved smoothly to the window.
There was still noise downstairs, but Liang Jinyu had already gone far away.
"Where?" Xie Qingyu asked.
"Right at the door of Zhou's house. It's strange. She said she wanted to find Yuan Yong, but she didn't know that Yuan Yong was Yuan Qiaoyong, let alone the relationship between the Zhou family and the Yuan family. You said it was clearly written on the door. If she didn't even know this, how could she dare to knock on the door?"
Xie Qingyu tapped the armrest of the wheelchair with his slender fingers. Seeing this, the boy next to him immediately handed him a teacup.
Xie Qingyu raised his eyes with an indifferent look.
The young man realized that he had made a mistake, and his brows immediately drooped, and he took it back in annoyance.
"What does she want to do with Master Yuan Er?"
Yuan Qiaoyong is the second head of the Yuan family in Langcang. Due to his advanced age, he has seldom appeared in public in the past two years. Most of the Qiao family's business is shared by several brothers, led by Yuan Shanting.
It is indeed rare to be able to find Yuan Qiaoyong directly when looking for someone.
Yan Xing shook his head: "I don't know. When I finished the consultation, the person had already left."
"How is Yuanwu?" Xie Qingyu asked.
Yuan Wu is Yuan Shanting, the fifth child in the family, so everyone calls him Yuan Wu or the Fifth Young Master.
"He was fine, but his wife had a miscarriage and almost died."
At this point, Yan Xing's expression became serious. "I heard that the driver deliberately deviated from the route, causing them to be ambushed. The driver's body was later found, and he was killed by a sword!"
The expressions of several people in the room changed at the same time, especially Rao Ji.
"Young Master, could it be that group of people?"
Two years ago, Xie Qingyu was also forced to jump off a cliff by a group of men in black because the driver deviated from the route. Fortunately, although his legs were broken, he saved his life.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Xie Qingyu started coughing uncontrollably, and his face became paler and paler.
Rao Jun brought the tea over and took out a green medicine bottle from his arms.
Yan Xing frowned, walked over and snatched the medicine bottle away: "You are not willing to die, can you eat this thing?"
"But--"
"Although my prescription works quickly, it has few side effects. Don't talk nonsense. Just listen to me if you want to live!" Yan Xing interrupted Rao Xie and threw the medicine bottle directly to the young man in black.
Rao Ji looked at Xie Qingyu who was coughing non-stop, his face full of worry.
After a long time, Xie Qingyu gradually stopped coughing.
"Go send an invitation to Yuan Wu..." Xie Qingyu paused, his voice hoarse, "Just tell him that I'm quite interested in jade recently."

After the sun sets, the temperature drops quickly.
Chen Lai Fu tried to talk to Liang Jinyu several times, but was stopped by Liang Dingfang.
He was filled with hatred, but he knew he was no match for Liang Dingfang, so he became even more resentful.
If it weren't for him, the Liang siblings would have been arrested by the government long ago!
He took her in, provided her with food and shelter, and obeyed her in every way. What else could she be dissatisfied with?
Bitch!
His mother was right, Liang Jinyu was an ungrateful person, he shouldn't have been so nice to her in the beginning, this bitch deserved to be punished, he should have given her a good beating earlier!
She's already married to him, yet she still wants a divorce!
Chen Lai-fu thought of Liang Jinyu getting rid of him, but turned around and chatted and laughed with other men in the grocery store, and his face twisted with anger.
You want to cheat on him and find another man, right?
Dream!
Chen Lai-fu stared at the closed gate on the hill, his eyes becoming increasingly vicious.
He wanted to see if there was any man who was willing to marry a slut that he had played with so much!
"Sister, he's gone."
Liang Dingfang said this and opened the door.
Liang Jinyu found a handkerchief, wrapped up the copper coins, stood up and said, "I'm going to go to Shuanzi's mother's place, you find a place to hide the silver on the bed."
Originally, Liang Jinyu planned to go to the Song residence to get some rice and flour before returning, but unexpectedly, Chen Lai Fu pestered her again, so she had to give up.
But she never liked to owe favors to others, so she simply used the money to pay it off.
As the sky gradually darkened, every household in the village was cooking, and on the road you could occasionally meet villagers carrying fir trees down the mountain.
Liang Jinyu would avoid it if she could, and if she couldn't, she could only respond by chatting for a while.
As soon as I arrived at the door of Shuanzi's parents' house, I heard a noise coming from the Yao family's yard next door.
Liang Jinyu didn't care. When she met Shuanzi's mother, she couldn't wait to talk about gossip before she even opened her mouth.
It turns out that Yao Yao had a child marriage when she was young. The man was from the next village and was said to have never married in these years.
Everyone said that he was waiting for Yao Yao, even Yao's family members thought so.
So early this morning Yao Tianci brought Yao Yao to the house to ask whether the marriage was still valid.
Who would have thought that the brother and sister were severely humiliated and driven out by each other's mother before they even saw each other.
As luck would have it, on the way back, Yao Yao was spotted by Wang the butcher from the same village.
Butcher Wang had a face full of flesh and was tall and strong. Under normal circumstances, Yao Yao would definitely not like him. But today, she was angry, so she agreed without thinking.
Now, she was just saying it out of anger, but Butcher Wang took it seriously and said he would find a matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow.
"She just wanted to make herself happy with her words. Now you regret it, but is regret useful? Is the Human King Butcher easy to bully? Just wait and see, she will suffer after she gets married!" Shuanzi's mother lowered her voice and said with disgust on her face.
Liang Jinyu thought of the butcher who went to Chen's house that day, and asked, "Is this butcher Wang the one known as Wang Yidao?"
"That's him, he's ferocious, and... " Shuanzi's mother lowered her voice, "I heard he has a quirk, he likes to torture women, the more miserable a woman cries, the more excited he gets. He had a lover before, but she ran away because she couldn't stand his torture."
Liang Jinyu raised her head suddenly: "It turned out to be her."
"Who?" asked Shuanzi's mother.
Liang Jinyu shook her head and took out copper money from her pocket: "This is what I earned from selling embroidered handkerchiefs. This is all I have. Don't think it's too little."
Nowadays, food is cheap and even refined rice is hard to sell, let alone brown rice.
So Shuanzi's mother was even happier after taking the money, and she scooped two spoonfuls of lard for Liang Jinyu.
...
In her previous life, Liang Jinyu seldom went out, and the farthest place she had been to was Sanliu Village, which was Wang's parents' home.
That year (should be the next year), Wang's nephew got married, and she went to Wang's house to help.
As the saying goes, three women make a drama. At that time, there were seven or eight women in the kitchen, chattering away. Somehow they started talking about a shocking tragedy in the neighboring village.
A woman couldn't stand her husband's abuse, so she took advantage of his drunkenness and tried to strangle him to death.
