Chapter 577: Getting entangled again

Yu Yongliu returned to the Yu family. On the surface, he looked normal. However, when he was walking up the stairs, his left leg tripped and his right leg slipped. Fortunately, his attendant helped him to stabilize his body in time. He returned to the house with a calm face, sat there, and began to pour tea for himself. At first, he looked normal, but he kept filling the teapot without realizing it. It was not until the overflowing water dripped from the table that Yu Yongliu suddenly woke up.

He smiled bitterly.

"Third brother?"

Xingxing's slightly cheerful voice was heard outside the yard.

Yu Yongliu calmed down and went out: "Xingxing, what's wrong?"

Xing Xing smiled and held a food box in her hand: "I made some snacks and left some for Third Brother!"

But just as she finished her words, Xing Xing looked at Yu Yongliu's expression and exclaimed, "Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

Xing Xing frowned slightly and asked with concern: "Third brother, did something happen to you? Why do you look a little depressed?"

Yu Yongliu was startled. He didn't expect Xingxing to be able to see through him. He didn't hide it from Xingxing either. He smiled bitterly and said, "A little bit."

Xingxing is becoming more and more strange.

My third brother won the sixth place in the imperial examination and was just appointed as an editor in the Hanlin Academy. Logically, he should be in high spirits. Why is he feeling depressed?

When Xingxing and Yu Yongliu entered the house, Xingxing saw the wine spilled outside Yu Yongliu's table and couldn't help feeling worried again.

"...Actually, I met a girl." Yu Yongliu pursed his lips and said to Xingxing in a deep voice, "...I am not worthy of her, but I can't keep pestering her. Xingxing, what do you think Third Brother should do?"

The young man, who should have been full of vigor and vitality, rarely showed signs of frustration.

Xing Xing went forward and hugged Yu Yongliu: "Third brother, in my heart, you are super good. If that sister rejected you, it doesn't mean that you are not good, maybe it's just that you are not suitable for each other."

Yu Yongliu laughed softly: "Indeed, it's not very suitable."

Xingxing had no choice but to try to make Yu Yongliu happy.

Seeing his well-behaved sister trying her best to make him smile, Yu Yongliu couldn't help but feel a little relieved and raised his hand to touch Xingxing's head.

Xingxing came out of Yu Yongliu's yard and couldn't help but sigh with some worry.

Even a person like Third Brother Rao would be trapped by love.

Is love really that good?

Then she...

Xingxing thought about it for a while and decided to just let things take their own course.

Anyway, she is still young!

Xingxing felt bored staying in the house, so she ran to Gong Qing's mother's house to play with her.

After Gong Qingniang completely severed ties with the Gong family, the Gong family soon discovered that the situation in the Gong family shop was not that serious at all and it was all a trap set by Gong Qingniang.

The Gong family immediately went to the Gong family shop and made a big fuss, but Gong Qingniang was not used to them, so she reported the matter to the police directly, which scared the Gong family away.

Gong Lao San is still in jail!

When the Gong family heard the word "government", they trembled.

Stabbing someone in the street is a very heinous crime. If the sentence is not severe, it will not serve as a warning or a deterrent. Mrs. Gong spent several hundred taels of silver, but it was just to make Gong Lao San's life in prison a little more comfortable, and the doctor gave him some good medicine for his injured leg.

But the other things are not possible!

The Gong family is so hateful!

But no matter how much they hated her, Gong Qingniang was no longer a member of their family. They had gone to the government to sever the relationship, and she had been adopted by a distant relative. They could only be considered a distant relative, and they could no longer control Gong Qingniang.

Li Chunhua happily found a matchmaker to go to Gong Qing's mother's home to propose marriage, but Gong Qing's mother made the decision on her own and promised herself to Yu Yongbai.

When Xingxing went over to play, Gong Qingniang was embroidering a veil.

She was not very good at needlework and was too lazy to embroider other things, so she found a ready-made embroidery team to embroider her trousseau. However, for the red veil, Gong Qingniang thought she should still embroider one or two stitches on it, as it had a good meaning, so she kept it.

But just as Xingxing passed by, someone came to the door and banged on it.

Xing Xing asked, "Who is it?"

A drunken voice came from outside: "Gong Qingniang! Is Gong Qingniang here?!"

Although Xingxing has a good memory, the voice sounded drunken, so Xingxing couldn't tell who it was.

She simply took a peek through the crack in the door.

You don’t know until you see it. It’s shocking.

Wow!

Why is it Zhou Yunyi?

"What are you here for?" Xing Xing asked directly.

Zhou Yunyi was drunk and knocked on the door twice again: "Gong Qingniang! You, what are you so proud of?! Weren't you kicked out by the Gong family? Open the door!"

There was a drunk opposite her, so Xingxing didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Gong Qingniang, on the other hand, strode out of the courtyard and, through the locked door, impatiently scolded Zhou Yunyi outside: "Zhou Yunyi, are you sick? Go find your Wang Jiajia when you're drunk. Why are you acting crazy in front of my door?"

Zhou Yunyi was drunk, and when he heard Gong Qingniang's voice, he became even more excited, and knocked on the door even harder: "Gong Qingniang! Gong Qingniang! Open the door!"

Gong Qingniang became more and more annoyed. She turned around and went to the yard to fetch a basin of water. She asked Xingxing to stand behind her, opened the door, and poured the basin of cold water over her!

The drunk Zhou Yunyi was directly thrown into the mud!

Zhou Yunyi was stunned. It took him a while to regain his sanity. He was obviously annoyed again and stared at Gong Qingniang: "You, you!"

Gong Qingniang was too lazy to talk nonsense with Zhou Yunyi, so she pointed to the door and said, "Get lost!"

Zhou Yunyi gritted his teeth and stormed out.

Gong Qingniang rolled her eyes at Zhou Yunyi's back.

After returning to the courtyard, Gong Qingniang complained to Xingxing: "...sick. I heard a few days ago that Wang Jiajia couldn't hide her pregnancy, so the Wang family took Wang Jiajia to Weibei Marquis's Mansion and asked Zhou Yunyi to give an explanation. Weibei Marquis's wife almost fainted, but it was the old lady of Weibei Marquis who made the decision. Zhou Yunyi wanted to marry Wang Jiajia, and then he could separate and live alone. In the future, Zhou Yunyi would have no share in the Weibei Marquis's property. Even Weibei Marquis's wife was not allowed to give Zhou Yunyi a penny of her own property."

"In the end, Zhou Yunyi was willing. When the Wang family heard that the Weibei Marquisate was actually going to expel Zhou Yunyi from the Marquisate and couldn't even come up with a decent betrothal gift, their faces immediately changed."

"Ha, Zhou Yunyi is dumbfounded! Ask Wang Jiajia, does she love him as a person or as a person?"

"Wang Jiajia was hesitant to tell Zhou Yunyi something. She had no choice. Her brother owed a lot of gambling debts. If Zhou Yunyi couldn't come up with the betrothal gift, her family would not be able to survive. She would have to die with the baby in her belly. It was so noisy and exciting!"

When Gong Qingniang talked about this, her eyebrows danced with joy, and it was obvious that she felt very happy just thinking about it.

Xingxing also suddenly realized, no wonder Zhou Yunyi came to pester Sister Gong again.
