Chapter 74 Of course it’s me

It's a guilty conscience.

It's also embarrassing.

Neither she nor her mother-in-law expected Jin Yu to be so fierce and resist with death.

She accompanied Jin Yu to the town to meet Scholar Fan, but she also felt that Scholar Fan had nothing to offer except his academic achievements, and was not a good match for him.

But when she returned home last night, she found out that the marriage had been settled, the betrothal gift had been received, and even Mr. Fan had promised to take her little son to school and learn to read.

Learning to read and write is a big deal for farmers.

I didn't dare to think about making a name for myself, but being able to read and write and working as an accountant in town was much better than living in the village and relying on God's mood for a living.

Besides, having a scholar as their brother-in-law will help them stand up straighter.

Therefore, she was shamelessly moved and helped her mother-in-law to persuade Jin Yu to accept the marriage and wait for her marriage with peace of mind.

Seeing that he couldn't convince himself, Jin Yu banged his head against the wall.

When she saw the blood gushing out, she was really scared and regretted it.

I thought, let's just forget about this marriage.

If she was really accused of forcing her sister-in-law to death, she would never have peace of mind for the rest of her life.

But who would have known that her mother-in-law was not frightened by Jin Yu's suicide attempt and gave in. Instead, she became more determined to marry Jin Yu to Mr. Fan as soon as possible.

After all the fuss, it has become like this.

"If Jin Yu doesn't marry Mr. Fan, who else can she marry?" Aunt Feng looked self-blaming and depressed.

If today's mess hadn't happened, this marriage might have been called off.

However, Jin Yu had already lived in the same room with Mr. Fan.

At this moment, Mr. Fan came into the house again and regarded himself as a rich and powerful husband.

It was not just the reputation of Jin Yu that was ruined. In the eyes of others, Jin Yu was no longer innocent.

If she remarries, no one will treat her as a virgin, and her future life will probably be more difficult than that of the widows in the village.

Lu Mingchao pressed his forehead with a slightly tired look, and said quietly, "Whether you get married or not has no necessary connection with whether you can live a good life."

"It would be fine if Jin Yu died. If she struggled to survive and luckily woke up, and brought up the marriage with Mr. Fan again, it would be like stabbing her in the heart and then turning it around several times."

"Auntie Feng, why not ask Old Lady Feng whether she wants a living daughter or a married daughter."

"That scholar Fan, who is so righteous, brought the tablet into the house. Will he really think well of the Feng family? Can you really get what you want?"

Aunt Feng cried out in shock, "If we cancel this marriage, what will happen to Jin Yu in the future?"

Lu Mingchao closed his eyes and rested his mind. "Isn't Feng Jinyu's wish clear enough?"

At this moment, Lu Mingchao was enveloped by a deep feeling of powerlessness.

They hide their own selfish motives under the banner of doing good for Feng Jinyu. It seems that every word they say comes from the heart, but in fact they have their own agenda.

Every man has his own reason, and every woman has her own reason.

The only person involved, Feng Jinyu, should just be a dumb fool at the mercy of others.

Aunt Feng moved her lips slightly, as if she was about to say something, but when she saw Lu Mingchao's cold and gloomy face, she finally chose to remain silent and swallowed the words back.

She didn't want to force her sister-in-law to death, but her sister-in-law couldn't just stay unmarried and be an old maid for the rest of her life.

Now my parents-in-law are supporting my sister-in-law, but what about in the future?

Lu Mingchao's eyelashes trembled, and he rested his hands on the wall behind his head. He did not close his eyes from beginning to end, but he seemed to understand every moment when Aunt Feng wanted to say something but stopped.

They are our relatives, and it is not easy to be 70% sincere to them.

Aunt Feng is just Feng Jinyu's sister-in-law. In Aunt Feng's world, there are too many things more important than Feng Jinyu.

Weighing, hesitating, and calculating are all human nature and are not incomprehensible.

At least Aunt Feng still cares about Feng Jinyu's life.

The sun gradually sets in the west and hangs in the sky, looking like it is about to fall.

Lu Mingchao had been guarding for more than two hours. When he was feeling hungry, Feng Jinyu finally showed a faint reaction. His eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his bloodshot eyes.

He's still pretty tough.

Lu Mingchao was delighted.

Feng Jinyu rolled his eyes and caught a glimpse of Lu Mingchao standing by the bed.

Lu Ming Dynasty?

Feng Jinyu blinked, his lips moved slightly, and his voice was hoarse, harsh and weak. "It's really you."

Lu Mingchao stood up, scooped a spoonful of warm water to moisten Feng Jinyu's lips, teeth and throat, and said with a smile, "Of course it's me."

"You only have one life, and it's not just one thing that can cost you your life, so use it sparingly."

"If I had known I would not have slapped you. After I slapped you, I had to take you back from Prince Yan without taking off my clothes."

Feng Jinyu's eyes were dim and his heart felt sour.

In the slightly dim little house, a faint beam of light shines through the window and happens to illuminate Lu Mingchao's profile. Her face is outlined by the soft light, appearing warm and bright.

It turns out that some people really can glow.

Unexpectedly, the person guarding her bed would be Lu Mingchao.

She was once envious of Lu Mingchao.

"I seem to have heard some nonsense, something about the underworld, the ritual of taking a concubine, and serving a large family."

After moistening his throat with warm water, Feng Jinyu's voice became clearer.

Lu Mingchao fed Feng Jinyu two more spoonfuls of water. "That's not nonsense. That's life-saving advice."

"Your sister-in-law has been watching over you for a long time."

Feng Jinyu frowned. "They forced me to marry Mr. Fan and sent me to Mr. Fan's house. They wanted to make it a done deal and make me accept my fate."

"So, you're looking for death again?" Lu Mingchao raised his eyebrows.

Feng Jinyu remained silent.

She never knew that getting married could be so disastrous.

In the past, she was accustomed to being ignorant of the world and had no self-awareness. She only wanted to marry into a good family and live a good life.

But she never thought about whether she was worthy of a good family.

Even if she became the continuation of Mr. Fan, in the eyes of the matchmaker and neighbors, she was marrying above her station.

It was not until last night that she finally woke up.

The wound hurts so much.

"Lu Mingchao, is this the only way for me to go, to marry Mr. Fan?"

"You are a nobleman from the capital, you are well-informed, like the bright moon hanging high in the clouds. Can you tell me what would happen if it were you?"

Just die.

But she didn't die.

She doesn't want to die.

But how should we live?

Lu Mingchao frowned and said, "I won't seek death."

What does the original body's death have to do with her?

Stay away.

She cherishes her life the most.

"It doesn't matter what happens to me, what matters is what you want to do."

Lu Mingchao's voice was clear.

Feng Jinyu was at a loss. Does it matter what she wants?

"Can my wish be called a wish?"

"What else?" Lu Mingchao asked seriously, "Dogs have the right to choose whether to eat shit or not."

Well, that old scholar is a piece of shit.

Feng Jinyu: Lu Mingchao still speaks so pleasantly.

"In the Ming Dynasty, can women survive in the world and support themselves without the help of men?"

"It depends on your own ability."

Lu Mingchao did not speak so confidently just to paint a picture for Feng Jinyu.
