Chapter 723: Die Together
Not only Xu Miaomiao, but even Xu Xi felt that this matter sounded very familiar. It was because of this matter that Madam Zhang came to her before. Not only did she arrive in the capital, but she still couldn't escape this matter, especially with Lu Yun next to her. Xu Xi could only lower her head even lower, feeling the gaze of the man next to her. Her face flushed, and she turned sideways to hide behind Xu Miaomiao.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Xu Miaomiao's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and her thin lips were straight. She seemed to be angry, but she still maintained a good attitude and a look of mastery. She looked at her and said, "Madam, you said you are Liu Juan's cousin Liu Mei, but do you have any evidence?"
"What proof do I need? Since I said so, it must be true. Otherwise, why would I bother to try to be related to her, since she's the daughter of a traitor? I can just pretend I don't know her..."
Liu Mei's voice became smaller and smaller until there was no sound. Everyone present understood the meaning of her words. She was saying that if she had not been asked to be a filler for the old husband of the Xu family, she would naturally not be willing to recognize Liu Juan. Now that Liu Juan was there as a shield, there was no need to push her out.
After all, she felt a little guilty, and looked at Xu Xi with a hint of apology in her eyes. But then she changed her mind and realized that without Liu Juan, she would have to waste her whole life in the Xu family. The Xu family was so powerful and deep-rooted that it was not something that a young lady like her who had just come of age could have the final say. Naturally, she had to find a way to deal with it. She was still dissatisfied at first, but all of that dissatisfaction disappeared when she saw Xu Xi.
"I'm afraid Madam Liu hasn't figured it out yet. There is no Liu Juan here now. She is also my sister named Xu Xi."
Xu Miaomiao called a horse a deer and spoke.
Liu Mei was naturally dissatisfied when she heard this. Xu Miaomiao actually started to confuse right and wrong right in front of her. She naturally couldn't stand it and blurted out: "You admitted it just now, and now you are doing this again. Aren't you really afraid that I will tell others about this!"
At this time, Liu Mei was already a little angry, and her annoyance was blurted out in an instant. She stared at the three people in front of her, as if she was ready to fight to the death.
But her appearance really couldn't scare Xu Miaomiao, so she just said to her, "Madam Liu, you don't have to threaten me with this. If you dare to report it to the police, do you think your Liu family will have any good results? Even if you are praised for sacrificing your relatives for the sake of justice and being loyal and courageous at the beginning, your Liu family's career will probably end here. Think about it, who would be willing to use someone who can report even his direct blood relatives? I think even if you agree, the old husband of the Liu family will not agree with you to do this. If you are sure that he really agrees, you won't tell us all this here. You can just take her away directly."
Xu Miaomiao's remarks left Liu Mei speechless for a while. Besides, everything she said was true. This way, it would be of no benefit to her directly.
Seeing her standing there in a daze, dumbfounded, Xu Miaomiao found her silly appearance somewhat amusing. Looking at her, he took a step forward and whispered in her ear, "Madam Liu, some things are not up to you to decide. It is better to forgive others when you can."
Xu Miaomiao smiled, and took the hairpin from the shop, and put it on Xu Xi's bun, then she spoke slowly: "Thank you for the gift, lady. I will definitely repay you when I have the chance in the future."
With a sneer on her lips, Xu Miaomiao reached out and pulled Xu Xi and passed by Liu Mei. It was really funny to talk about this matter, it turned out like this.
Xu Miaomiao's last words were also a reminder to Liu Mei that if she insisted on causing some trouble, then it would be no wonder that she was so cruel. Liu Mei was obviously frightened by Xu Miaomiao's appearance. She stood there in a daze, not reacting for a long time.
Xu Xi still felt a little scared when she met someone from her past in the capital. She couldn't remember anything about the past, nor did she want to remember anything. But after staying here for a long time, she would always meet some of the people from her past, and she couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Knowing her anxiety, Xu Miaomiao tried her best to give her the greatest comfort, but as long as Lu Yun was around, she was always a little nervous, afraid that Lu Yun would despise her past and afraid that Lu Yun would know these things.
Trying hard to keep herself calm, Xu Miaomiao let go of Xu Xi's hand as they walked. She had wanted to hold Xu Xi's hand all the time, but then she thought that maybe Lu Yun had something to say to her, so she walked faster on purpose to give the two people behind her a chance to be alone.
Feeling the warmth from the man next to her, Xu Xi became more and more anxious and uneasy. Lu Yun looked at her quietly without saying anything, but he clenched his hands in his sleeves and kept clenching his fists. The steady steps under his feet also showed the man's anxiety and fear.
Reaching out and seeing an old man's hat, Lu Yun picked it up, put down a silver ingot, turned around and put the hat on Xu Xi's head.
Originally the vision in front of him was clear, but it suddenly dimmed, and then there was a vast expanse of snow. Xu Xi was already covered by the hat, and there was darkness in front of him, and he could not see the sight ahead clearly.
She tilted her head in confusion, but Lu Yun whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, no one will recognize you again."
It was just one sentence, but Xu Xi felt infinite comfort. He had always understood her feelings. Xu Xi hesitated a little, and her hat blocked her expression. She could only say, "Do you mind?"
Mind the past, mind the Feng Ping in the capital, mind why he was not from a clean family, why he became what he is now, why he didn't know Lu Yun before everything happened.
"mind."
The steady voice was strong and powerful, penetrating the resistance in the air, passing through the bustling crowd, and hitting Xu Xi, and his heart was filled with sadness.
I just felt that my body became cold and I couldn't move. My stubborn body couldn't even breathe. Then, I felt a warmth from my hand, which dispelled the coldness.
The warm words rang in my ears again: "Of course I mind. If I had met you earlier, these things would not have happened. I feel sorry for you, but I feel helpless every time at this time. If I could, I really want to hide you, not let others see you, not let those words hurt you, protect you, let you be happy every day, instead of worrying about these things."
