Chapter 871 The Great Elder Committed Suicide
The Valley Master had no way to refute this. When he received the news of his son's death, the Great Elder sat alone in the room for a whole day and night.
If he hadn't been thinking about feeding Qiao'er nutritional supplements, he would have collapsed long ago.
Instead of standing idly by, several people stepped forward to help.
The Great Elder watched as his disciples dug a huge pit, and then buried Qiao'er in it.
He didn't even have anyone hold any funeral ceremony, he just took incense from the house and lit it.
Such a strange attitude made Jiang Wan even more suspicious, and she also felt that what old man Ouyang said made sense.
Before leaving, the Valley Master once again reminded his disciples to keep a close eye on the Great Elder, fearing that something might happen to him.
When Jiang Wan, Song Jiuyuan and others returned, they saw Song Yi walking in front of them and nodding slightly at them.
Following his gaze, Tao Niang was pushing Jiang Shaowen back.
Tao Niang's face was red, obviously she had been coaxed by Jiang Shaowen, and even Ping An grinned.
Seeing them, Tao Niang lowered her head in embarrassment, but Jiang Shaowen mustered up the courage.
"Wanwan, I have something to tell you."
"Go talk to me."
Jiang Wan probably guessed what she said. Perhaps because of what happened with the Great Elder and Qiao Er, her mentality became calmer.
The group came to the courtyard where she lived, and Song Jiuyuan skillfully led Song Yi to light a charcoal fire.
Everyone sat on the warm couch. Jiang Shaowen considered nervously for a while, then made up his mind and said directly:
"Wanwan, I plan to officially marry Tao Niang as my second wife."
When Tao Niang heard his words, she raised her eyes suddenly and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
She thought that what he meant by being responsible for her was taking her as a concubine.
But she didn't expect him to marry her.
Marry in a formal ceremony!
At this moment, Tao Niang felt that all the waiting was worth it.
"Um."
Jiang Wan was not surprised. She poured herself a cup of chrysanthemum tea to cool down her fever and looked at Jiang Shaowen with a faint look in her eyes.
She was somewhat similar to Ning'er. When Jiang Shaowen saw her, he felt as if he saw the Ning'er of the past.
He said with a guilty look on his face: "I am sorry for your mother, but she is gone.
Tao Niang has devoted her entire youth to me, and I can't let her down again.
If your mother blames me, I will go and apologize to her in person after I die!"
“No, no…”
Tao Niang waved her hands quickly, tears already streaming down her face, "Just your words are enough.
I am willing to follow you, and I don't ask for anything else."
With her background, she was indeed not worthy of him. She was already content to be able to stay with him.
At least he was sincere to her at this moment.
"You don't have to tell me everything about your affairs."
Jiang Wan took a sip of the warm tea and said, “Before you become my father, you are yourself first.
My mother is gone, and I have even destroyed the Jiang family. You should focus on yourself."
She paused for a few seconds and said, "As for me, I have been used to relying on myself for everything over the years."
"Wanwan."
Jiang Shaowen was still very sad about Jiang Wan's cold attitude.
But he had realized by now that these had nothing to do with Tao Niang.
After all, they were separated by countless days and nights of unfamiliarity.
"I know you're a good kid, but I still want to hear your opinion."
"That's fine with me."
Jiang Wan spread his hands. His life was indeed not easy. The first half of his life was glorious.
After being framed for the rest of her life, she finally met someone she loved, and she had no reason to stop him.
What's more, she believed that if her mother could see it, she would not blame her.
"Really?"
Jiang Shaowen was very excited, and tears welled up in his eyes when he looked at Tao Niang.
The two held each other's hands tightly, but Song Jiuyuan, who was watching, could see that Wanwan was not interested.
It was precisely because she was too rational in dealing with Jiang Shaowen's affairs that it was enough to show that she did not regard her as a particularly close person at the moment.
Because she is only so polite to outsiders.
However, Song Jiuyuan did not intend to remind Jiang Shaowen. Perhaps as time went by, Wanwan would gradually let it go.
Tao Niang said to Jiang Wan excitedly: "Thank you, thank you, Miss Jiang."
Getting Jiang Wan's consent was a result she had never expected.
After all, Jiang Shaowen’s identity is different. Even if his original wife died, he would return to Kyoto.
There were countless wives who wanted to marry him, and she was not even on the list.
"No need to thank me, just be good to yourself in the future."
Jiang Wan has no plans to return to Kyoto for the time being. She still wants to live happily with Song Jiuyuan in Jiuzhou.
The whole family achieved the results they wanted, and the atmosphere seemed somewhat harmonious.
"Wanwan, when I recover a little, I will bring Tao Niang back to Kyoto."
Jiang Shaowen couldn't wait to return to Kyoto. Tao Niang was very important to him, but Ning'er was also the person who amazed him in his youth.
He wanted to take Tao Niang to see Ning'er, hoping to get her forgiveness.
"Just make your own arrangements."
After Jiang Wan finished chatting with them, she pretended to see them off, "I'm a little tired."
"Then let's go back and rest."
Tao Niang tactfully pushed Jiang Shaowen outside, but Ping An did not move. He tilted his head and asked Jiang Wan.
"Sister, are we going to have new brothers and sisters soon?"
"It's hard to say."
Jiang Wan thought that Jiang Shaowen's health would not support him having another child.
But it is rare that they can stay together.
"Actually, I don't really want brothers or sisters. Just having a sister is enough."
Ping'an smiled playfully at Jiang Wan, then quickly followed Tao Niang. He kept showing off and made Jiang Shaowen laugh.
Looking at their backs, they look like a real family of three.
Jiang Wan thought that perhaps the original owner lost her parents on the night Jiang Shaowen was taken away many years ago.
"Don't be sad, Wanwan. You still have me."
Song Jiuyuan felt the sadness emanating from Jiang Wan, and he held her hand tightly.
Jiang Wan looked back and smiled, "It's just that I feel a little touched occasionally, but it's good for him to return to Kyoto.
It’s great news to know he’s alive.”
Every time she saw him, it always brought back beautiful memories from the original owner's memory, and always made her think about him.
If Jiang Shaowen had not been murdered, perhaps they would still be a happy family of three.
Maybe...she might not have traveled through time.
"We will have children in the future and a happy family."
Song Jiuyuan was always the one who understood her best. She chuckled, "I'm still a child myself."
Isn’t it too early to be a mother?
But when she thought of this, why did she feel so sweet in her heart?
The sadness in her heart was dispelled, Jiang Wan leaned in Song Jiuyuan's arms, and said with a smile:
"Song Jiuyuan, it turns out that love is different from love."
For example, the love between the Great Elder and Jiang Shaowen is also different.
"Junior sister!"
Old man Ouyang rushed in with a red face and said, "I was right, the elder committed suicide.
Your senior brother is rescuing people right now, do you want to go over and take a look?"
