Chapter 659: I Will Die with You
"Don't be rude."
Xu Miaomiao immediately spoke to Li Yi next to him, and Li Yi then obediently retreated.
Xu Miaomiao signaled to Dabao, and Dabao immediately squatted down, put his hand on the man's neck and paused for a moment, then shook his head at Xu Miaomiao.
Li Yi on the side was a little shocked and stammered: "He, he... died?"
"It looks like it's been a few days, but it's relatively cold here, so the body is well preserved." Dabao analyzed calmly.
Li Yi took two steps back in disbelief.
Xu Miaomiao said nothing, turned around and walked out.
"Mother, he still has this in his hand."
Dabao handed a golden hairpin to Xu Miaomiao.
This gold hairpin is not big and is made of little material, so it is not worth much.
But Xu Miaomiao still carefully put the thing away and told Dabao: "After you go back, find someone to make him a coffin and set up the mourning hall here."
"Yes, mother."
After getting on the carriage, Xu Miaomiao said nothing, but just stared at the golden hairpin in her hand in a daze.
Dabao was still resting with his eyes closed as usual. Li Yi was driving the carriage outside, just like usual, nothing was different.
After arriving at the mansion, Xu Miaomiao explained everything to Gu Yuanniang.
Staring at the golden hairpin in her hand, Gu Yuanniang was somewhat surprised: "This golden hairpin must be Mr. Bai's most valuable thing."
"Liu Niang, you need to talk to Lian Zhi about this."
"Of course." Gu Yuanniang agreed with Xu Miaomiao's statement and nodded to her: "Mr. Bai was still thinking about Madam Lianzhi before he died, so she naturally has the right to know."
The impact of this incident was so great that Xu Miaomiao took the golden hairpin and made repeated preparations before knocking on Lianzhi's door.
When he saw Xu Miaomiao, Lian Zhi's face was filled with joy, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Miaomiao revealed happiness.
"Madam Xu, have you seen him?"
Lian Zhi quickly pulled Xu Miaomiao to sit aside and said to her, "Madam Xu, have you seen him?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly, then slowly handed the golden hairpin in her hand over.
When Lian Zhi saw this thing for the first time, he took it in a hurry. He was obviously happy in his heart, but he still sighed when he looked at Xu Miaomiao: "He said before that he would make me a gold hairpin. I told him not to waste it, but I didn't expect him to make it secretly. This guy actually didn't listen to me."
Although it was a blaming tone, Xu Miaomiao could indeed see joy on her face, and she didn't know how to say what she wanted to say.
"Madam Xu, what's the matter with this guy? He must be very happy when he knows that I got rid of Wang Mang."
"He's not coming."
"Why?"
Lian Zhi asked back, looking at Xu Miaomiao in confusion, and then waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, I'm free now, it's the same if I go find him."
"He is dead."
When Xu Miaomiao said this, she could almost feel how heartbroken Lian Zhi on the other side was.
But Lianzhi was as calm as ever. She didn't cry or make a fuss as she had imagined, nor did she panic and want to escape. Only the hand holding the golden hairpin kept shaking.
"It's better to die."
Although it was a very calm sentence, Xu Miaomiao could hear the sob in her voice.
"For those of us who find it hard to even live, what right do we have to beg for love that even princes and nobles cannot get? Death will be a relief, so be happy for him."
Xu Miaomiao's heart trembled. Seeing Lian Zhi struggling, she slowly reached out her hand and placed it on Lian Zhi's shoulder to comfort him. She smiled back, but tears were still welling up in her eyes: "Madam Xu, don't worry, I'm fine. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have waited for him."
"Lianzhi..."
"Madam Xu, I want to be alone for a while."
"good."
Xu Miaomiao nodded and wandered around the yard alone, but Gu Yuanniang waved the green plum wine at her and said, "Come and have a drink."
Xu Miaomiao smiled and sat down in the yard with Gu Yuanniang.
After two drinks, Xu Miaomiao's face was already a little flushed: "In the past, I always wanted to become famous and rich, and I wanted to prove to those who looked down on me that I, Xu Miaomiao, could do it, but now I am confused..."
Xu Miaomiao lowered her eyes slightly, looked at Gu Yuanniang beside her and continued: "Lianzhi said something today."
"If you can't even live on your own, what right do you have to beg the kings and nobles for love?"
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she also began to stare blankly.
"I saw Mi Village today and realized that there are such poor places. The people there can't eat fresh rice, can't burn charcoal, and even their homes don't have a roof to shelter from the wind and rain. It's not just that..."
Gu Yuanniang did not respond to Xu Miaomiao's words, but just listened silently to what Xu Miaomiao didn't want to hear. Rather than a confidant, what Xu Miaomiao needed now was someone to talk to.
The hand pouring the wine paused, Gu Yuanniang stared at Xu Miaomiao and immediately said: "You had a lover, and he died. What would you do if you loved him to the extreme?"
Xu Miaomiao, who was originally a little drunk, sobered up when she heard this. Looking at Gu Yuanniang, she had a bad premonition and hurriedly ran towards Lianzhi's house.
The two left in a hurry, leaving only the wine glass on the ground behind them.
After pushing open the door, Xu Miaomiao's pupils contracted and she immediately stepped forward to help Lian Zhi, who had fallen to the ground.
She held the golden hairpin in her hand but had already inserted it into her chest. Blood was still flowing from the corner of her mouth, wetting her bandages.
Xu Miaomiao immediately took her arm and began to feel her pulse. Gu Yuanniang hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Miaomiao shook her head. She could pull someone back from the brink of death, but she could not save someone who was determined to die.
Lianzhi in his arms coughed, and blood continued to flow out as he spoke: "Madam Xu, please, please bury us together, okay?"
"Why are you doing this?" Gu Yuanniang beside her said with regret.
Lianzhi smiled, as if she was very satisfied: "I will follow you in death. I have never entered the Bai family in my life. I wish to be the soul of the Bai family after I die."
"I promise."
Xu Miaomiao stared at Lianzhi and spoke. As if she had heard a satisfactory answer, Lianzhi closed his eyes and his weak breathing disappeared at this moment.
Gu Yuanniang sat limply on the ground, as if she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes. It turned out that someone really committed suicide for love...
After tidying up Lianzhi's appearance, Xu Miaomiao inserted the golden hairpin into her bun and then placed her next to Bai Qi.
A large brazier was set up outside, and Xu Miaomiao scattered handfuls of paper money into it.
You were trapped by these worldly things in this life, I hope you will never be like this in your next life.
