But the Yu family has been dreaming of a happy life for more than ten years, and they don’t want to wake up.
So Yu Jiaojiao's words really touched my heart.
If Liu Zhi married Yu Jiaojiao, then what happened today would not matter.
If Liu Zhi passed the imperial examination and became an official, no one would dare to say anything.
The more the people in the Yu family thought about it, the warmer they felt, as if they had already seen Yu Jiaojiao becoming Guan's wife, and they were Guan's family members.
Taking in the expressions of everyone in the Yu family, Meng Changjin showed a sarcastic smile on his face.
Still dreaming such a beautiful dream.
Not to mention that Liu Zhi might not have any intention of marrying Yu Jiaojiao, even if Liu Zhi really wanted to marry her, she would interfere.
Don't say she is vicious. She was just fulfilling the client's long-cherished wish. The client was thrown into a pond because of Yu Jiaojiao's fault. She must let the person who should have been thrown into the pond feel the pain that she should have felt.
After listening to Yu Jiaojiao's words, Old Lady Yu felt that as long as Yu Jiaojiao and Liu Zhi got married, everything would be fine and they could still enjoy their lives. Wasn't it said that Liu Zhi was the son of a merchant and very rich?
Immediately, Mrs. Yu called her eldest son and went to the widow's house in Lihua Village to find Liu Zhi.
Liu Zhi was a classmate of the widow's son, so naturally he had to go there to look for him.
When Old Lady Yu went over, Liu Zhi was packing his things.
Old Mrs. Yu was stimulated by this scene and rushed in excitedly: "What are you doing? Our Jiaojiao's innocent body is given to you, and you want to run away? I tell you, no way."
Liu Zhi was startled by Old Lady Yu who suddenly rushed over, but he quickly calmed down.
"That's not the case. I know Jiaojiao can only marry me now, so I'm going back to ask someone to prepare the betrothal gifts and propose to her." Liu Zhi looked indifferent.
"Really?" Old Madam Yu was still a little unconvinced: "Even if you want to propose, why are you in such a hurry? Why do you look like you're going to run away?"
Liu Zhi's expression was so calm that he almost couldn't hold it together. He explained, "It's true that my home is far away, so I wanted to leave early and come back early to propose marriage. Please don't blame me for my inconsideration, as I am just anxious to marry Jiaojiao."
Old Mrs. Yu nodded thoughtfully. She heard that Liu Zhi's family lived in the provincial capital, and it would take a lot of time to go back and forth.
Seeing that Old Lady Yu believed him, Liu Zhi said with a bitter expression: "It's just that since most of my money was lost, I have to take a donkey cart back, which may take more than ten days..."
Ten days? Too long! This was Mrs. Yu's first reaction. If the villagers thought that Liu Zhi was not willing to marry Yu Jiaojiao, the woman who brought bad reputation to the village by having an affair would be driven out of the village at best, or even drowned in a pond at worst.
She was still counting on Yu Jiaojiao to enjoy a good life.
After thinking for a while, Old Lady Yu asked, "How much silver will it cost to get to the capital city as quickly as possible?"
"It will take two days to hire the fastest carriage, but it will cost at least twenty taels of silver." Liu Zhi's face was more obviously bitter, with some worry, and his eyes kept looking at the thatched cottage of the Yu family at the entrance of the village.
Old Mrs. Yu calculated silently in her mind for a moment, then took off the jade bracelet on her wrist with a painful look on her face and handed it to Liu Zhi.
"What are you doing?" Liu Zhi took a step back, looking surprised.
"This bracelet has been with me for decades. You should be able to exchange those for more than twenty taels at the county pawnshop and hire a carriage." Although Mrs. Yu felt sad, she thought that after Yu Jiaojiao married Liu Zhi, she would be able to enjoy a good life. At that time, she could buy as many jade bracelets as she wanted.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem so painful anymore.
Liu Zhi struggled for a few moments, but finally took over: "Don't worry, I will go and come back quickly, and I will not let Jiaojiao wait too long."
Old Mrs. Yu nodded.
Liu Zhi had already packed his bag, and he set off immediately with the bag on his shoulder.
When he reached the entrance of the village, Liu Zhi looked at the Yu family's thatched cottage several times, but did not see Yu Jiaojiao. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, then walked out of Lihua Village and headed towards Qingyuan County.
During this period, he looked back several times.
Old Mrs. Yu was very relieved. Seeing that Liu Zhi had disappeared, she returned to the thatched cottage at the village entrance and discussed Liu Zhi's plan with Yu Jiaojiao.
Yu Jiaojiao put the worry in her heart back into her stomach and started embroidering her wedding dress with a smile.
After hearing what Old Lady Yu said, the other people in the Yu family immediately began to take good care of Jiaojiao.
The expression on Meng Changjin's face became more and more sarcastic.
She is in a high position, so she can see far. The Yu family is probably waiting for Liu Zhi to propose marriage. After Yu Jiaojiao marries Liu Zhi, it will be their time to enjoy their lives.
But Meng Changjin felt that Liu Zhi would not come back. After walking a distance, he ran away very fast. Not to mention that he was in a hurry to come back to marry Yu Jiaojiao, if he really wanted to marry her, he would at least formally tell everyone in the Yu family and let the Yu family send someone to follow him to reassure the Yu family.
But he didn't, he just left.
After thinking about it, Meng Changjin quickly climbed down from the tree and followed him out.
Although she felt that Liu Zhi would not be the kind of person who would come back out of loyalty and loyalty, she had to stop him from coming back.
Meng Changjin was very fast. Even though Liu Zhi had set out for a while earlier, Meng Changjin still caught up with him quickly.
There was no trace of bitterness on Liu Zhi's face now. He was holding the jade bracelet given to him by Old Lady Yu and examining it over and over again.
"Not bad, not bad, I can at least exchange it for twenty or thirty taels, right? It's a profit." Liu Zhi muttered to himself as he walked.
Because there were shelters on both sides of the road, Meng Changjin followed relatively closely and heard Liu Zhi's words clearly.
Judging from the tone, Meng Changjin was certain that Liu Zhi would not really go back to marry Yu Jiaojiao.
She curled the corners of her mouth slightly and took out a piece of talisman paper from her sleeve.
Hallucinogenic talisman, the type of talisman she draws most often.
Infusing spiritual power and shaking the soft paper to straighten it, Meng Changjin shot it directly towards Liu Zhi, and it immediately stuck to Liu Zhi's shoulder.
The talisman was automatically triggered when it touched a stranger, and Liu Zhi suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if someone was blowing cold air on the back of his neck.
Looking at the mountains on both sides, Liu Zhi suddenly swallowed and turned his head slowly and nervously.
Then he saw a scene that he would never forget.
Behind him, countless strange creatures looked at him greedily, drooling...
The bright red eyes, greedy looks, and flowing saliva made Liu Zhi subconsciously think that these monsters were hungry.
What to do when you are hungry? Eat, of course.
And he was the only one here, so it was not difficult to imagine what these monsters wanted to eat.
