Chapter 1084 Do you regret it?
When Xiao Xixi smelled the rich aroma of wine, her gluttony was immediately aroused.
But she still remembered what Luo Qinghan had told her.
She forced herself to look away from the wine jug: "I don't drink, I just eat the food."
After saying that, she picked up the chopsticks, scooped out a large piece of mutton from the hot pot, and started eating.
Yu Jiu picked up the wine jug and poured two glasses of wine.
He pushed one of the cups to Xixi's hand.
"You really don't want to drink some? This wine does smell delicious."
Xiao Xixi buried her face in the bowl and said while eating, "I don't want to drink it."
Yu Jiu: "You won't get drunk if you drink a little."
Xiao Xixi was afraid that she would lose control, so she wanted more after drinking a little.
She resolutely ignored Yu Jiu's seduction and concentrated on eating.
Seeing this, Yu Jiu sighed softly and said with disappointment.
"That's boring."
After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Yu Jiu prepared to pay the bill.
Madam Wei said, "The bill for your table has already been settled."
Yu Jiu was slightly startled: "Who paid the bill for us?"
Madam Wei pointed to the table of guests in the corner.
"That's them."
Yu Jiu looked in the direction she pointed, and discovered that the guest sitting in the corner was the baby-faced young man he had seen last night.
The baby-faced young man had obviously been paying attention to Yu Jiu.
When he saw Yu Jiu looking at him, he curved his lips and smiled.
Yu Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
He greeted Xiao Xixi and walked towards the table in the corner.
The baby-faced young man seemed not to have expected that he would come directly over. He was slightly stunned, then stood up and called out respectfully.
"Master."
Yu Jiu sat down in the empty seat opposite him and asked with a smile.
"You guys have been following me?"
The baby-faced young man poured a cup of hot tea, pushed it in front of Yu Jiu, and said, "We just want to protect your safety."
Yu Jiu did not touch the cup of tea, his eyes always on the baby-faced young man in front of him.
"I don't need your protection."
Baby-faced youth: "You are General Lang's son. If this matter were known by others, it would be dangerous for you. We must stay by your side to ensure your safety.
If you don't want to see us, we can be more careful and promise not to appear in front of you again."
Yu Jiu: "So, you guys plan to follow me forever?"
Baby-faced young man: "We are just following orders. Please forgive us."
He thought Yu Jiu would be dissatisfied. After all, Yu Jiu looked like a very difficult person to get along with.
However, unexpectedly, Yu Jiu was not dissatisfied at all, but smiled gently.
"In that case, why don't you help me with something?"
The baby-faced young man was slightly startled, then responded, "Of course, it is our honor to serve you."
Yu Jiu hooked his finger at him, motioning him to come closer.
The baby-faced young man stood up and walked over without hesitation, bending down and lowering his head.
Yu Jiu whispered something in his ear.
The baby-faced young man said it was no problem.
"We are at the disposal of the young master!"
Yu Jiu then picked up the tea and took a sip: "That's it, I'll leave first."
He stood up and took two steps, then stopped and looked back at the baby-faced young man.
"I never asked you, what should I call you?"
Baby-faced young man: "My name is Tu Ling."
Yu Jiu nodded slightly: "Tu Ling, I remember it."
He returned to Xiao Xixi and told her that she could leave.
Xiao Xixi stood up and followed him out, asking as they walked.
"What did you say to that person?"
Yu Jiu smiled mysteriously: "Guess."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
Forget it, she shouldn't have said that.
Before leaving, Yu Jiu wanted to take one last look at Yu's residence.
When they passed by the Jiang family, they saw a group of people gathered in front of the house, including several constables.
People were whispering and talking.
"I don't know what sin Uncle Jiang has committed. First he raised an unfilial son, and now he has been killed."
"His son was a second-rate person. He was a nuisance even when he was alive. His death is a relief to everyone."
"You can't say that. It's a human life after all."
"Uncle Jiang is already so old, and he only has this one son. Now that his son is dead, he is left with only him, a daughter-in-law, and two little grandchildren. How are they going to live with an orphan, a widow, and an old man?"
…
The police forcibly separated the crowd and cleared a passage.
Two bailiffs came out carrying a stretcher.
The body on the stretcher was covered with a white sheet and nothing could be seen.
Uncle Jiang and her daughter-in-law followed behind, crying heart-wrenchingly.
Yu Jiu stood behind the crowd, watching the scene in front of him quietly.
Xiao Xixi asked tentatively: "Do you regret it?"
Yu Jiu smiled and said, "Not at all."
Back then, Jiang Chengcai assisted the tyrant in his evil deeds, causing him to be separated from his family and forcing him to recognize the thief as his father. This debt cannot be paid off by simply killing Jiang Chengcai.
He wanted everyone else in the Jiang family to experience the pain of separation from their loved ones, just like him.
The scene before him was exactly what he wished for.
He expressed his satisfaction.
After returning to Yu's house, Yu Jiu walked around it from inside to outside.
He looked very carefully, as if he wanted to engrave every detail of the house in his mind so as not to forget it in the future.
Finally he left through the gate.
The carriage had already stopped at the door.
Xiao Xixi sat in the carriage. She watched Yu Jiu turn around and slowly close the door.
As the gate gradually closed, the scene in the house shrank little by little, and was finally completely isolated on the other side of the gate.
Yu Jiu locked the door himself and turned to walk towards the carriage.
Xiao Xixi asked, "Don't you need someone to help you look after this house?"
There are many flowers and trees planted in this house, and someone needs to take care of them regularly, and someone also needs to clean it regularly, otherwise the house will soon be abandoned.
Yu Jiu lifted up his skirt, sat on the shaft of the cart in an elegant manner, and said calmly.
"No, this house will no longer be inhabited, so it's useless even if you clean it up."
The reason why home is called home is because there are family members who care about and love him at home.
But now he has no family left.
That home is no longer a home, it is just a house with a false appearance.
Yu Jiu gently pulled the reins and drove the carriage forward.
As the distance increased, the Yu residence behind him became smaller and smaller.
Yu Jiu didn't look back.
He looked ahead calmly.
There was no one here for him to stop and take a look.
And ahead of him, there is the culprit who caused the destruction of his family.
Xiao Xixi pinched some scented powder from the sachet and sprinkled it out of the car window.
The fragrance drifted in the cold wind and soon faded.
She put away the sachet and leaned over to ask.
"Where are we going next?"
Yu Jiu said without even turning his head: "Go back to Tianmen and meet my adoptive father."
Xiao Xixi: "Then please unblock the acupuncture points on my body, so that I can also have the strength to fight."
Yu Jiu: "Not now, wait a little longer, when the time is right, I will naturally help you unblock the acupuncture points."
