The girls were all called back home by their families.
Only Lin Xue stayed at the Mei family home to keep Mei Niang company.
"Fu Xiaoxue, someone from your family is looking for you!"
Just as Lin Xue and Mei Niang were talking in the room, a strange young man suddenly shouted into the courtyard from the gate.
"Xiaoxue, that's Liu Ergou's voice."
When Mei Niang saw someone greeting her friend, she reminded her.
"Ignore him!"
Lin Xue didn't know Liu Ergou, but judging from Mei Niang's attitude, he must be a young man from the village.
Right now, nothing is more important than protecting Mei Niang; it's obvious these people are trying to lure us away from our predicament.
The girls, their families, or villagers came and called them away.
If Lin Xue is also called away, then Mei Niang will truly be left alone.
"Fu Xiaoxue, your maternal grandparents are here, and your parents want you to go back right away!"
Perhaps seeing that Lin Xue was lingering at the Mei family's house, another voice appeared at the door after a while.
"Xiaoxue, your family might really be looking for you!"
Mei Niang felt a little embarrassed; she couldn't very well let her friend stay at home overnight, could she?
It seems like someone really did come to their house.
"Don't worry about it!"
"Neither my parents came to call me. These people who have never spoken to me before are not trustworthy!"
"Besides, my maternal grandparents simply can't come at this time. My maternal grandmother's health has just improved a little, and my maternal grandparents' family would never let her go through the trouble of traveling!"
Lin Xue patted Mei Niang's hand and continued cracking the melon seeds in her hand.
"Mei Niang, someone is looking for you!"
Seeing that he couldn't get Lin Xue away, the sounds outside changed again.
Who is looking for me?
When Mei Niang heard that the person was looking for her, she stopped sitting in the room and went out instead of staying inside.
"Someone asked me to give you this letter!"
Liu Ergou handed the letter to Mei Niang, then turned and ran away.
"Is it Fu Shaojie?"
Lin Xue arrived at the door at some point and just happened to see Liu Ergou running away.
How did you know?
Lin Xue's words startled Mei Niang.
"I guessed it with my toes!"
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she lifted her foot and walked out.
"Let's go?"
Lin Xue took a few steps, but seeing that Mei Niang didn't move, she couldn't help but turn back and urge her.
Where to?
Mei Niang felt a little dizzy, as if all of this was not real.
Overnight, her childhood sweetheart fiancé was about to marry someone else, but at the very moment before the wedding, he sent a letter to summon her.
Deep down, Mei Niang didn't want to go.
After all, she and Fu Shaojie had just broken off their engagement, and it was Fu Shaojie who betrayed her first.
Although many of her girlfriends were by her side this time, leaving Mei Niang no time for melancholy, she still couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart.
From childhood to adulthood, she knew that Fu Shaojie was the man she was going to marry.
They feel a sense of sadness at having come to this point.
"Go see that young master Fu and see what he's up to!"
"Don't worry, I'm here to protect you!"
Although everyone knew that Mei Niang would eventually keep her appointment, Lin Xue's interference made it unclear where the plot would take it next.
The two families have already broken off the engagement, so why is Young Master Fu still looking for Mei Niang?
Then, it was discovered that Mei Niang committed suicide by jumping into a well next to the bamboo grove behind the village.
When Mei Niang opened the letter, she also took the opportunity to glance at it and discovered that the place they had arranged to meet was the bamboo forest behind the village.
When these two points are connected, did Mei Niang commit suicide by jumping into the well or was she murdered?
The result may not necessarily be as specified in the copy.
"Let's go around to the side!"
Lin Xue did not choose to take the shortcut, but instead circled around in the nearby woods, going from behind the bamboo grove to the vicinity of the well.
Fu Shaojie was standing next to the well at that moment.
He craned his neck and kept looking towards the path, as if waiting for someone.
"Young Master, the letter has been delivered to Miss Mei!"
A short while later, Liu Ergou hurriedly returned to report.
"Can you give me the two taels of silver you promised?"
Liu Ergou stretched out his hand somewhat embarrassedly. His palm was black, as if it hadn't been washed in a long time, and covered with a deep layer of mud.
"Take it!"
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today. If anyone finds out, I'll skin you alive!"
Fu Shaojie took out two taels of silver from his pocket, tossed it to Liu Ergou with disdain, and then winked at him, signaling him to leave quickly.
After Liu Ergou left, only Fu Shaojie remained in the room.
He paced back and forth by the well, somewhat agitated, his gaze occasionally drifting towards the path.
"Get out!"
Lin Xue took out a large number of props from her spatial storage and put them on.
Merlin was preoccupied with his own thoughts and didn't notice Lin Xue's actions.
When Fu Shaojie saw Mei Niang, he didn't even notice Lin Xue.
"Why did you call me here?"
Mei Niang's face was very pale, but she still spoke first.
"Mei Niang, we've known each other for over ten years, do you have to be so cold?"
Fu Shaojie looked at Mei Niang with deep affection, as if the events that happened in town yesterday had never happened.
"A relationship of more than ten years couldn't stop you from falling in love with someone else, could it?"
"Quickly tell me why you summoned me here. Today is your big day, and I don't want people to see us and gossip!"
Upon seeing Fu Shaojie walking towards her, Mei Niang subconsciously took a few steps back.
