Chapter 264 Not Marrying
Yuan Ziyu and Cui Ruxun fell silent after hearing this!
At this point, they don’t know what to do!
Cui Ruxu made it clear that she was determined to marry Zheng Xun, but as for Tang... it was a dead end.
At the same time, in the courtyard where Zheng Xun was recuperating, he was sitting in the room in a daze.
The development of the matter was beyond his expectations.
It was obvious that this was not his original intention. What he wanted was just the official silver and things that were missing in the cave. In comparison, the official silver was secondary, while those things were the most important. If he couldn't find them back, I'm afraid...
Although he was sure that the person in the cave was Yuan Ziyu, Yuan Ziyu's identity was not something he could attack openly, not to mention that he also noticed that there was a master hiding in the dark beside Yuan Ziyu, and that person's skills should be comparable to his.
If you want to know the whereabouts of the things, you can only start from the people around Yuan Ziyu. He has always been popular with women, and there is no woman who will not obey him if he succeeds. Then it will be easy to let Cui Ruxu go to Yuan Ziyu to find out the whereabouts of the things.
However, he didn't expect things to get out of his control...
"You seem so leisurely that you even have the time to sit here and stare blankly!" Suddenly, a man appeared in the room, folding his arms and speaking coldly to Zheng Xun.
"Why are you here?" Zheng Xun looked at the person who came and his voice was also cold.
"Of course I came to see the progress on your side. How is it? Have you found the whereabouts of those things?" the man asked.
Zheng Xun said, "No!"
"Not yet?" The man frowned. "What have you been doing recently? That thing is very important. If you lose it and don't find it back, you will be fined!"
Zheng Xun said nothing when he heard this.
"Has it been confirmed who took it?"
"Not sure!" Zheng Xun responded coldly.
"Not sure?" The man frowned and said, "I saw you were talking about love with that young lady, and it seemed very passionate. Could it be that the young lady is related to that thing?"
"No!" Zheng Xun looked at the man and said sternly, "Don't make random guesses!"
"Ha!" The man sneered, "Ghost Face, you're too quick to deny it!"
Zheng Xun narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and stared at the man dangerously: "Don't try to hit on her, or I won't mind destroying you!"
"So protective?" The man raised an eyebrow and asked softly, "Ghost Face, you're not serious, are you?"
"No!"
"Oh!"
For a long while, neither of them spoke!
After a long while, the man stood up and said, "Well, since you still have no news, I won't waste my time here. However, Ghost Face, I have to remind you——"
The man turned and looked into Zheng Xun's eyes, speaking slowly and clearly, "People like us are destined to have no future. Never allow yourself to have weaknesses, otherwise you will only die faster. Do you understand?"
Zheng Xun clenched his fists tightly under the table.
"Oh, by the way, I have to remind you again. You've been at large here for long enough. I'm afraid I don't have much patience left. Don't forget your true identity. Do you still want to be a bandit for the rest of your life?" The man sneered and said, "You've almost gotten your revenge in the past two years. It's time to come back. Don't let me send someone to arrest you. Otherwise, coupled with that thing's disappearance, you should know what the consequences will be, right?"
"For the sake of our life-and-death friendship, I won't touch that young lady!" The man sneered, "But I can't guarantee that others won't touch her even if they know of her existence. You'd better think carefully before you inexplicably press your own weak spot!"
After saying that, he left quickly without caring whether Zheng Xun wanted to respond or not.
Zheng Xun didn't move, still sitting quietly at the table, as if thinking about something.
In this way, Zheng Xun sat for a whole night, and finally made up his mind. He packed his bags and carefully put a light blue brocade handkerchief embroidered with orchids in his arms. He only left a few words on the table and left without looking back.
"Second Miss, Second Miss!" Yuan Ziyu was practicing swordsmanship in the yard when Qingzhi hurried in. "Oh no! There's a commotion in the guest house!"
"What's wrong?" Yuan Ziyou put away his sword and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
"I heard that my eldest cousin's wife wanted to beat my eldest cousin's daughter to death, and my lady has already gone to persuade her!" Qingzhi took a few breaths and said hurriedly.
"What?" Yuan Ziyou was startled. "Why did it suddenly become like this? What's the reason?"
"I don't know!" Qingzhi said hurriedly!
"Let's go and take a look!" Yuan Ziyu hurriedly put away his sword and took Qingying Qingzhi to the guest house.
Yuan Ziyu was still some distance away from the guest house when he heard Tang's angry voice: "Sister-in-law, don't try to stop me. I'm going to beat this unfilial girl to death today!"
"Sister-in-law!" It was Liu's voice. "Why can't you talk it out calmly? Xu'er is still an unmarried girl, how can she withstand such a beating from you?"
Tan, Cui Wenxi and Cui Ruxun were also trying to persuade them.
In the guesthouse's courtyard, Cui Ruxu knelt on the stone floor with her lips pursed, a look of sorrow on her face, oblivious to everything around her. Xin'er cried beside her, trying to persuade her, "Miss, please don't be like this. Please at least say something kind!"
Cui Ruxu didn't say anything, just knelt quietly.
Xin'er advised earnestly.
"Mother!" After a long pause, Cui Ruxu looked at Tang and said, "Xu'er is unfilial and has made mother so angry. However, Xu'er still insists on her own ideas!"
"You..." Hearing Cui Ruxu's words, Tang was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at Cui Ruxu and couldn't speak for a long time.
After a long while, Tang finally recovered and said to everyone, "You don't have to stop me. I won't hit her today."
Seeing this, Liu, Tan and others were not sure whether what Tang said was true or not. Although they let go of Tang's hand, they still stood in front of her, fearing that Tang would suddenly rush over and beat Cui Ruxu.
Tang said to Cui Ruxu calmly, "Alright, if you insist, then keep going. Kneel here and when you stop insisting, get up."
After saying that, he turned around and went into the house!
Cui Wenxi stamped her feet and looked at Cui Ruxu: "Big sister, you...ah!"
With a sigh, Cui Wenxi hurriedly chased into the house. Liu and Tan also hurried into the house to comfort Tang, fearing that she would get angry and get hurt.
“Big sister, you…” Cui Ruxun was about to speak to Cui Ruxu when she saw Yuan Ziyu enter the yard. She hurried forward and said, “Second cousin, how did I alarm you too?”
"Second cousin, what happened? Why did it suddenly become like this?" Yuan Ziyu asked in confusion.
"Alas!" Cui Ruxun sighed, and whispered to Yuan Ziyu, "My eldest sister came to tell my aunt that she would never marry."
