In the novel, the two of them get married separately.
Fang Miao married an ordinary man who treated her well, but her mother-in-law was a jerk, constantly disliking and criticizing her. While her husband was around, Fang Miao's life was manageable. Later, Fang Miao gave birth to a son, and her mother-in-law's attitude improved. Despite their ups and downs, the family lived a relatively happy life.
However, the unexpected happened, and the man died in an accident. His mother-in-law, blaming Fang Miao for her son's death, vented all her hatred on her. At that point, Fang Miao, tormented by fate, resigned herself to her fate, believing it was truly her fault, and resigned herself to her fate. She single-handedly supported the family, working tirelessly from dawn to dusk, only to endure beatings and scolding from her mother-in-law upon returning home. Those days were agonizing, neither human nor ghost, a life worse than death.
Gu Huainian also married a well-matched young lady from a wealthy family. However, their personalities did not match and they often quarreled.
The two of them only had a peaceful life in the first few months of their marriage, but after that, they gradually drifted apart. Gu Huainian often stayed at the Dali Temple and rarely returned home, and the couple became like strangers.
Later, Gu Huainian made a mistake and was dismissed from his job. The Gu family fell into decline and the family members withered away. Gu Huainian's life was very miserable. His relatives and friends left one after another. When Gu Huainian fell ill, no one visited him.
Once, the two met by chance. Fang Miao never expected that the Dali Temple Minister who was full of vigor and vitality in the past had become so shabby and slovenly. Gu Huainian almost didn't recognize that the dirty and rough woman in front of him was the smart little coroner in the past.
The two looked at each other in silence, feeling that time had passed and everything had changed.
From that day on, Fang Miao often squeezed out time to take care of Gu Huainian, bringing him medicine and food...
Fang Miao's life was hard enough, but she never gave up on Gu Huainian and took good care of him for several years.
Later, when Gu Huainian was seriously ill, Fang Miao held his hand and cried and cried.
"Sir, if I could do it again..."
Before Fang Miao finished speaking, Gu Huainian's hand dropped, taking away the rest of her words.
Tangli felt that these two people liked each other.
Perhaps they both developed feelings for each other during the days of investigating the case, but due to their status or introverted personality, no one said it out loud, and thus they missed each other.
Then, they each got married and severed their relationship.
This missed opportunity will last a lifetime.
What was the sentence that Fang Miao didn’t finish?
If we could do it again, would we be together?
Tangli felt sad when thinking about this.
Now, compared with the novel, isn’t it like starting over again?
The fate of the Gu family has changed. Her brother will not end up in poverty like in the novel, but both of them will marry and be with the wrong people, and will lead unhappy lives.
Tangli hopes that her brother can meet a soulmate in this life, and that they can grow old together and live a happy life.
Tang Li told Wei Qing all these things.
Wei Qing rubbed her little head and said:
"Big brother will be happy in this life, because he has you, his little koi."
His little carp brings happiness to people.
"Then I'll match my brother and Fang Miao?" Tang Li said.
"Yeah." Wei Qing supported her very much.
The next day.
Tang Li was a man of action, so he immediately went to find Fang Miao.
Fang Miao was easy to find. She was the only female coroner in the entire capital.
She went to the place where she met Fang Miao yesterday and asked casually, and found out Fang Miao's residence.
Tangli came to Fang's house.
The Fang family's house was a dilapidated courtyard, and several women surrounded the Fang family and pointed and talked about it.
"This is the home of the female coroner."
"She lives here? What bad luck! I'll have to avoid her from now on."
"Yeah, I don't understand why a girl would want to be a coroner. It's such an unlucky thing, I guess she'll never get married!"
"Yeah, who would dare to marry her? Her life is over."
"Your son is about the same age as her. I saw her talking to your son last time. You should stay away from her."
"What? This woman actually dared to seduce my son? If she dares, I will tear her apart!"
Tangli felt uncomfortable listening to those instructions.
The door of the Fang family was tightly closed. It seemed that they had long been accustomed to the sound of pointing and talking.
This was the environment in ancient times. The pressure from public opinion was enormous, and anyone with a slightly weaker psychological endurance could not bear it.
Tang Li was too lazy to argue with them. Such pointing and criticizing would not be stopped by her retorting. Only if Fang Miao lived a good life would it be the best slap in the face to them.
Tang Li walked towards the Fang family and knocked on the door.
Looking at Tang Li's clothes and behavior, the women thought she was a lady from a wealthy family and couldn't help but ask.
"Girl, did you come to the wrong door?"
"The person living here is a female coroner, a coroner."
Tangli didn't even look at them.
"The person I found is Fang Miao, she is my friend." Tang Li said.
This was what Fang Miao heard when she opened the door.
Of course she heard the pointing and talking, but she didn't expect Tang Li to come to her and say he was her friend.
Her eyes sparkled with emotion.
Fang Miao welcomed Tang Li in and stared at the stunned crowd outside.
"What are you looking at? Are you bored? Go back and do your work. If you don't finish your work, you'll get beaten!" Fang Miao said fiercely.
The women looked unhappy and left, still swearing curses like "I can't get married" and "no one wants me".
Fang Miao closed the door, and when she faced Tang Li, she became soft and cute again.
"Tangli, why are you here? My house is dirty." Fang Miao said a little embarrassedly.
Tangli took a look and found it a bit simple, but it was very clean and not dirty at all.
“It’s not dirty.”
"Sit down quickly." Fang Miao pulled Tang Li to sit down.
She was alone at home. Her mother would go out to do manual labor to earn some money, but because everyone thought she was unlucky, there was no manual labor for her. When she had nothing to do, she would stay at home and read. If there was any news at the Dali Temple, someone would come to inform her.
Fang Miao sat down in front of Tang Li and stared at her, very curious about the purpose of her visit.
"Miao Miao, what do you think of my brother?" Tang Li asked.
"Lord Gu is very good. He is upright, fair and strict. He is a good official."
"Where are the people?" Tang Li asked.
People...
A tall and majestic figure emerged in Fang Miao's mind. He was naturally a very good person.
"Miao Miao, do you like my brother?" Tang Li asked.
Tang Li's direct question startled Fang Miao, who choked on her saliva and started coughing violently.
Her fair little face turned red.
"Tangli, what are you talking about. I...how could I..." Fang Miao said with a blushing face.
Tang Li looked at her expression. Fang Miao said that she didn't like it, but her expression completely betrayed her.
When she talked about her brother, Fang Miao's eyes lit up and she looked completely moved.
