Chapter 232: Chen Nian (Part 2)
In March when the spring weather was warm, Su Zhiyun took her maid out for an outing to enjoy the flowers.
Unexpectedly, they met a few desperate criminals in the peach forest. Those people were wanted criminals by the court and were now on the run from soldiers. When they saw Su Zhiyun, who was alone with her maid, they became obsessed with the idea of kidnapping Su Zhiyun.
In order to protect Su Zhiyun, the maid Biling was seriously injured. Su Zhiyun thought that she could not escape her fate and wanted to commit suicide in order to avoid being bullied.
At this moment, Yuan Qifeng happened to pass by here. Yuan Qifeng was a very talented young man back then, and his kung fu skills were rarely rivaled. Seeing Su Zhiyun trapped in a desperate situation, he attacked without hesitation. Several desperate criminals were beaten by Yuan Qifeng so hard that they cried for their parents and could not move.
Because of this, Yuan Qifeng saved Su Zhiyun's life.
The fifteen-year-old girl was at the age of falling in love for the first time. When she was in despair, she met a hero who saved her. She was attracted by Yuan Qifeng's charm and fell in love with him at first sight.
Yuan Qifeng was also attracted by Su Zhiyun's beauty.
The boy and girl fell in love at first sight, which should have been a beautiful story, but unfortunately there was a man named Huang Lu who was engaged to Su Zhiyun.
Su Zhiyun's only impression of Cotinus coggygria was that he was her fiancée. As for the rest, to Su Zhiyun, Cotinus coggygria was no different from a stranger.
If she hadn't met Yuan Qifeng, Su Zhiyun might have just gotten married. Since there was no one she loved, it didn't matter who she married.
However, after meeting Yuan Qifeng, Su Zhiyun's thoughts changed. Her deep love for Yuan Qifeng made Su Zhiyun begin to resist this marriage. She could not imagine what it would be like to marry someone she didn't like.
Su Zhiyun has been spoiled at home since she was a child, and her personality is naturally a bit willful. Although she is well-behaved in daily life, she is stubborn in her bones. After thinking for a while, she told the Su couple what she was thinking and said that she would not marry anyone other than Yuan Qifeng.
One can imagine how furious Su Zhongkang was!
She was determined to repay her benefactor's kindness, but now her precious daughter refused to marry him and was making a fuss about breaking off the engagement.
This is not repaying a favor at all, it is clearly repaying kindness with enmity!
Su Zhongkang naturally refused and flatly rejected Su Zhiyun's request. Su Zhiyun was also stubborn and she went on a hunger strike to show her feelings.
How could Madam Su bear to see her precious daughter suffer such a hardship? She begged Su Zhongkang desperately and agreed to Su Zhiyun's wish.
Yuan Qifeng received Biling's secret message and hurried over. He knelt in front of Su Zhongkang's door and asked to marry Su Zhiyun.
Su Zhongkang persisted for two days, but seeing that Su Zhiyun was becoming increasingly thinner and still refused to eat, he finally gave in and acquiesced to Su Zhiyun and Yuan Qifeng, but he also declared that from now on Su Zhiyun was no longer a member of the Su family, and the Su family would have nothing to do with Su Zhiyun anymore.
The Su family sent Su Zhiyun to the Liu family, which was Su Zhiyun's maternal grandparents' home. Since then, Su Zhongkang refused to meet Su Zhiyun again. Even when Mrs. Su wanted to go back to her parents' home to see Su Zhiyun, she refused.
The next year, Su Zhiyun married Yuan Qifeng from the Liu family. It happened that Yuan Qifeng was sent to the border to garrison. After the marriage, Su Zhiyun followed Yuan Qifeng to the border.
Yuan Qifeng knew that Su Zhiyun had been depressed. No one from the Su family showed up at their wedding. Su Zhiyun waited for a long time but never saw anyone from the Su family. After arriving at the border, she often stared blankly in the direction of Hangzhou and Beijing.
So, Yuan Qifeng persuaded Su Zhiyun to write a letter to the Su family.
Knowing that she had broken her parents' hearts, Su Zhiyun didn't dare to write back. Finally, under Yuan Qifeng's persuasion, she mustered up the courage to write a letter. There was no response to the first letter, so Su Zhiyun mustered up the courage to write a second letter. At the same time, she also sent two clothes she had made by herself, hoping to receive a letter from Hangzhou!
Finally, a letter arrived from Hang Jing.
Su Zhiyun was overjoyed, thinking that her parents had finally forgiven her. However, she didn't expect that what she got were two pieces of clothes that had been cut into pieces. Those clothes were exactly the two pieces she had sent back!
Su Zhiyun was disheartened and realized that the Su family really didn't want to have her as a daughter anymore. From then on, she stopped talking about anything related to the Su family.
"Mom, have you ever contacted my grandparents since then?" Yuan Ziyu asked cautiously after listening to Liu's story about the past years.
Oh my god, my parents were definitely a perfect match of beauty and hero back then!
Liu shook her head: "No!"
"This is also my fault!" Yuan Qifeng continued, "If I had sent people to Hangzhou to check it out, perhaps things would not be like this now!"
"Brother Feng, how can you be blamed for this? It was me who didn't let you go!" Liu said hurriedly.
Yuan Ziyou and Huo Xifei exchanged a glance, and Yuan Ziyou said, "Dad, Mom, the head of the Su's workshop changed the year after Mom got married. Brother Xi also found out that a doctor had been frequently coming in and out of the Su family for the previous year. We don't know who was sick, but we only know that the doctor stopped coming to the Su family a year later!"
"What!" Liu's eyes widened. "Can't you find out who's sick?"
Liu was a little panicked. Was it father, mother, or brother?
Yuan Ziyou shook his head: "There's no way to find out. The doctor died not long after!"
"That's right!" Huo Xifei continued, "According to the news this time, the doctor's death was also somewhat strange. He committed suicide suddenly. There were no signs or incidents before. Even the doctor's family was puzzled by his death. So, I think there must be something unknown in this matter, and I need to go to Hangzhou to investigate!"
"Then I will set out to take a look tomorrow!" Yuan Qifeng said hurriedly.
"Brother Feng, I'm going too!" Liu said quickly. Over the years, her parents and brother had been missing, and she had no idea about it at all. Liu was in great pain and just wanted to go to Hangzhou to find her parents and brother.
"Dad, Mom, don't go. Brother Xi and I will go!" Yuan Ziyu said quickly.
"No!" Yuan Qifeng and Liu said in unison.
Yuan Ziyu is only thirteen years old. Even though he has martial arts skills, he is still a child after all. How could Yuan Qifeng and Liu be willing to let Yuan Ziyu run to such a far place? What's more, they don't know what kind of dangers there are.
"Dad, Mom, just let me go!" Yuan Ziyou said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Brother Xi is here to protect me. It's okay!"
"But..." Liu was still worried!
"Uncle Yuan, Aunt Liu, don't worry, I will definitely protect You'er!" Huo Xifei quickly assured.
"Forget it, let You'er and Fei'er go!" After a long while, Yuan Qifeng sighed and said to Liu. Then he instructed Yuan Ziyu and Huo Xifei: "Don't take any risks when you go. If anything happens, report back immediately. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Dad!" Yuan Ziyu quickly nodded in response!
Huo Xifei said with assurance: "Uncle Yuan, don't worry, I will definitely bring You'er back safe and sound!"
