Chapter 217: Sobbing so sadly
After leaving the house, Yu Tingwan's steps were floating.
It's not that she is easy to coax, but Wei Zhao is too coquettish.
Her black hair was disheveled, and she still felt broken, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. It was just a simple lip to lip, but he held her tightly, as if he could integrate her into his bones and blood.
Obviously, he didn't do anything shameful, but he was just seductive.
It seems...
it seems that he is really a little pretty.
"Wan Niang."
Hui Niang came out of the kitchen and was a little surprised to see her.
"Aren't you next door?"
She guessed: "But you are worried about Alang, so you come back to see him? I am at home, so you don't have to worry."
No, I came back to beat him up.
In Hui Niang's heart, she is really a sensible daughter-in-law.
After Yu Tingwan went out, she ran into Liu Yan, who came out of the Zhao family at the same time.
When Liu Yan saw her, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She thought Yu Tingwan was going back to settle accounts.
But Yu Tingwan's eyebrows were curved, and her whole body exuded unconcealed joy.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Liu Yan couldn't help but be tempted. Looking back, she pulled him to the corner to talk.
"He..."
Liu Yan: "Do you think I have a chance?"
"My reputation is not very good." He
was out in the open all day doing business.
"Three years older than him."
"He is a scholar, and I don't seem to be able to do anything else except turning the abacus and making some dirty
money." Yu Tingwan was caught off guard .
In her impression, this was not what Liu Yan would say. Before, she was fearless when she fell in love with Lu Xuesheng.
Liu Yan felt uncomfortable when she was looked at by her.
"What are you looking at? There is no flower on your face."
Yu Tingwan: "Are you serious?"
Liu Yan whispered: "I used to be a little unreliable, and I was casual about marriage."
"Thinking that I have money, there will always be people willing to rush to me. I want face, they want money, and we both get what we need."
Yu Tingwan wondered: "But aren't you still looking for face now?"
"That's different."
Liu Yan didn't know what to say.
Yu Tingwan: "You shouldn't ask me about emotional matters."
She was at a loss herself.
But...
"If you want to be married, both sides must be willing to fight and be beaten, and both sides must have no objection from the elders."
"Ayu is the only son in the family, and his uncle and aunt will not let him marry into the family."
Yu Tingwan stated his position.
"If you are just in a momentary mood, don't provoke him."
"Ayu once... encountered some things, and he is very shunned by women. If you want to marry, you must find someone who can live a good life with him. He is timid and can't stand being teased. If you are like today, I won't say anything. But if you disturb him and make him seriously ill, I don't mind breaking up with you."
Liu Yan was thoughtful.
When she heard what happened, she frowned fiercely.
Who!
Zhao Yu, who makes people want to protect him, is going to be hurt!
But she was not happy when she heard the last sentence.
She complained: "We have known each other for a long time."
For a man...
No, this is a very important man.
Yu Tingwan had a blank expression on his face: "Look at me."
"What are you looking at?"
"See if my head has been smashed by a rock and is filled with water."
Liu Yan: ...
Yu Tingwan said in a flat tone: "Since he calls me cousin, would I be someone who doesn't distinguish between relatives and strangers?"
————
The street is long and wide, and it is bustling with people.
Teahouses, wine shops, pharmacies...all kinds of shops are lined up.
Ze County has changed a lot, and it is no longer the dead and dull it used to be.
The tall Constable Zhu followed behind Yang Weiwen, feeling uneasy.
"Sir."
"Do you know why Censor He wants to see me?"
He had only been working for Yang Weiwen for a short time. How could he not be nervous about meeting an important person?
Yang Weiwen led Constable Zhu into the teahouse and walked up the stairs.
"The master asked to see you."
"I thought you must have been in Ze County for many years. What does the master want to ask?"
"If you know, just speak frankly and don't hide it. If you don't know, don't make up stories. Just answer honestly and don't be nervous. The master won't make things difficult for you."
This gave Constable Zhu a reassurance.
With a creaking sound.
Yang Weiwen pushed open the door and entered.
"Sir, Constable Zhu has been brought here."
He Xuran was wearing casual clothes and making tea.
Standing behind him without a smile was the confidant sent by Master Gu to protect him.
He Xuran did not raise his eyes and focused on the work at hand.
"Let him in."
Yang Weiwen: "Yes."
Constable Zhu lowered his head, not daring to look around.
He knelt down: "Greetings, sir."
As he entered, He Xuran's tea was ready.
The tea from Ze County is certainly not as good as the tea from Beijing.
He took a sip and didn't drink any more.
"Everyone get out."
This was said to the confidants of Gu Taifu and Yang Weiwen.
Seeing the two people leave and close the door, Constable Zhu lowered his head even more.
He heard He Xuran ask.
"Were you present at the Yu family fire seven years ago?"
Constable Zhu: "Yes."
"I am incompetent. When I received the report and went there, it was already too late. The fire was too big."
"Tell me everything you know."
Constable Zhu didn't think about it and hurriedly recalled.
He said: "The smoke was thick at the time and no one dared to get close."
"The deceased Yu Jingcheng came out holding his daughter at that time."
When he said this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Half of her body was burnt beyond recognition, but she took good care of the child in her arms. Not even a hair was burned."
"To be honest with you, Ze County is a small place. Yu Jingcheng is the most capable person in the escort agency. He looks fierce, but he is famous for loving his wife and daughter."
"He handed the crying child to me, and then rushed back to save his wife regardless of everything. Unfortunately... he never came out again."
At this point, Constable Zhu looked at He Xuran cautiously.
He Xuran looked dazed. He
seemed to be listening, but not. He
wanted to listen, but didn't dare to.
He had cleaned up many messes caused by Gu Wu.
Every time Gu Wu called him uncle, he couldn't harden his heart.
The daughter of the Gu family was of noble status. She
entered the palace, and the man in the Cining Palace treated her with great care.
But her true bloodline had a bumpy journey.
He Xuran said in a hoarse voice: "Then what?"
Constable Zhu could only bite the bullet and continue. He had a deep impression of what happened back then.
"The girl from the Yu family fainted from crying. But the Yu family had no relatives, and they couldn't bear to leave her in the government office, so they had to send her back home."
"My wife felt sorry for her, and complained to me for taking her back, but she was also soft-hearted, so she held her in her arms and comforted her."
"But when she woke up, she refused to eat or drink. At first, she was yelling that she wanted to see her parents, but later she never said a word."
"She ran away at night when we were not paying attention."
The Zhu family was very worried, fearing that the child had an accident.
"Finally... we found her in the ruins of the Yu family."
He couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable when he said this.
"I don't know where this child got the paper money from, but she was burning it."
"She couldn't light the fire stick, and I don't know if she was anxious or sad, so she knelt on the ground and cried."
"She was so sad and sobbing."
"I felt bad seeing this, so I went over to help her light the paper money. I accompanied her to burn the paper money."
"The little girl asked me with red eyes, if it was because of her fault that she always caused trouble, that her parents didn't want her."
