Chapter 161, The three of them eloped
"What? Madam, you..."
Xu Xinpu couldn't imagine that Li would have such an idea.
He wanted her to save her sister! He
didn't expect that she also wanted to elope!
There was some loss in Li's eyes, she said, "Why, don't you want to be with me forever?"
"Xinpu, you have taken care of me for many years since my husband went to war. You said I was the most beautiful woman you had ever seen. You said you would always be with me. You said that whether I have a husband or not, you are willing to be with me. Have you forgotten all this?"
Tears welled up in Li's eyes.
She once loved such a man.
He also said that she was the dumbest woman in the world.
Her requirements were not high, she just wanted to go away with him.
"Silly girl, I haven't forgotten. Xinpu is willing to go with you!" Xu Xinpu stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and kissed her bald head again.
But Li sniffed and pushed him away, "But whose fragrance is on you? It's my nose that is guilty."
"That's my sister. I just saw her. I can't ignore her, silly girl. I want the three of us to go together!"
Xu Xinpu stepped forward again and grabbed her hand.
Li was a little hesitant.
If it were the past, she would have agreed without hesitation, but today, the image of Xu Rourou completely collapsed in her heart.
She didn't want to take her with her.
But Xinpu was the man she loved deeply.
Forget it, forget it, it's just another sister.
She said, "In that case, let's go together."
She tried her best to arrange these things before the second half of the night.
Xu Xinpu took the jade pendant given by Li and sent away several maids at the door of the firewood room.
The brother and sister followed the secret passage all the way to the back door of Xie's house, where a carriage was waiting for them.
Li sat inside, holding Huaishan in her arms.
When the two got on the carriage, she told the driver to leave quickly. Ling Lu said ,
"Huaishan had a nightmare just now, so I asked someone to bring him here. Now he is asleep, so we can just leave!"
"There is still one hour before the city gate is closed. We should hurry up and catch up!"
Li said.
Xu Xinpu cast a grateful look at her.
Xu Rourou was a little confused. She paused for a long time before asking, "Mother-in-law, don't you still hate me today..."
Now, why are you willing to help them elope?
Could it be that Li has seen her flattery over the years and is willing to help her in the end?
This is just her guess.
But.
Li smiled tenderly, "Don't call me mother-in-law in the future, call me sister-in-law!"
After saying that, she glanced at Xu Xinpu shyly.
The blush spread from the ears to the bald head.
With the candlelight, Xu Rourou saw Li's shyness clearly.
She knew very well what it meant when a woman showed such an expression.
She sat there in a daze as if struck by lightning. Time seemed to stand still. In her eyes, there were only her brother and her mother-in-law.
Them!
When did they get together?
Xu Xinpu patted her shoulder, "Sister, the Madam is going with us!"
"Go together?" Xu Rourou was full of disbelief!
She looked at Li, and then at her brother.
They actually!
Got together behind her back!
Does that mean the three of them eloped?
But, on what basis?
Li is her mother-in-law!
"Yes, sister, I have long given up on the Marquis. I decided to elope with your brother, hide my identity, and live a good life!"
"Don't worry, I will love you like my own sister. We are a family of four and live a happy life!"
Li lived longer, and she changed her words faster than Xu Rourou.
From then on, Huaishan called her aunt, Rourou called her sister-in-law, and they lived a happy life.
Xu Rourou's eyes widened even more.
Her hands trembled, and she felt uncomfortable.
The bitterness and jealousy in her heart spread all over her body. She could never regard the mother-in-law in front of her as her own sister-in-law.
"Brother, mother-in-law, I can't accept it so quickly. I'm sorry." She bowed her head and said aggrievedly.
Seeing this, Xu Xinpu felt distressed, "I understand, but now, isn't it the most important to stay alive?"
Xu Rourou nodded, and she continued to whisper, "It's impossible for mother-in-law to completely let go of Jin'an. How should I deal with it then? How can I explain to Jin'an that his mother is my sister-in-law?"
Speaking of this.
Li paused.
Her son should understand her.
She said to Xu Rourou, "This is easy. Let Jin'an call Xinpu dad. What's the difficulty?"
Anyway, Xie Jin'an didn't want a father like Jing'an Hou.
Xu Rourou's lips moved. She stared at Li blankly, trying to endure the discomfort.
Her brother was really hungry.
But she couldn't lose her temper at this time, because if she wanted to survive, she had to rely on Li to stay away from here.
"Then how about my relationship with Jin'an..."
"That's even simpler." Li replied, "You call each other by your own name. He calls you aunt, and you call him husband."
Xu Rourou: !!!
She didn't want to have any relationship with Xie Jin'an anymore. She said this just to make Li give up.
But she didn't expect that Li's acceptance would be so high.
Forget it, as long as she could escape today, she would endure it no matter how disgusted she was.
She reached out for her son, "Let me hold Huaishan!"
Li smiled tenderly and handed Xie Huaishan to her.
The road to the city gate is still a bit far.
In the second half of the night, there was a commotion in Xie's mansion.
Marquis Jing'an had nowhere to vent his anger, so he came to Li's room, but found that there was no one here!
Marquis Jing'an asked the old woman, and the old woman said, "I don't know either. Madam should just not be in her room."
"Not in her room? Then where is she?" In
the middle of the night, not in her own room... Marquis
Jing'an became suspicious. Did Li go to meet someone in the middle of the night?
He got angry and slapped the old woman in the face, "Tell me, which man has the Madam been close to recently!"
Being cuckolded is the most intolerable thing in his life!
"The Madam hasn't been close to any man, but the eldest grandmother's brother often comes to the Madam's yard to help with work..."
The old woman covered her face with grievance, and she told everything she knew!
"Humph! I knew she didn't bring up the divorce for no reason, it turns out she has a lover!"
Jing'an Hou was so angry that he trembled.
His women, one after another, betrayed him!
Now, even his legal wife is doing the same, directly cuckolding him and stepping on his face!
"Father, I think your guess is a bit too much, my mother is not that kind of person!"
Xie Jin'an hurried over at this time, and his face sank immediately when he heard Jing'an Hou talking about Li.
He knew everything that happened in the past. His father's concubines were all killed by his suspicion.
The concubines didn't cheat, and it was even more impossible for his mother to cheat!
Marquis Jing'an snorted coldly and said stubbornly, "My guess is right. Come on, search the whole mansion!"
With an order, the lights in the originally quiet Xie Mansion were lit, and the servants who were already asleep were called up to search for people.
"You acted entirely based on your own guesses. I actually hope my mother really ran away! So that you won't have a wife!"
Xie Jin'an snorted coldly. What kind of grievances did his mother suffer over the years!
"Rebellious son, you..." Marquis Jing'an was about to scold Xie Jin'an, but at this moment a maid ran in hurriedly.
"Oh no, Master Hou, Grandma is missing too!"
