Chapter 509, Suicide for Love
When Daohua and Xiao Yeyang came out of the shop, they saw a girl in white mourning clothes walking down the street.
"What's wrong with this girl? During the first month of the lunar year, even if there's a funeral at home, she shouldn't be out in the street like this. Isn't this just trying to annoy people?"
When the owner of the bookstore next door saw this, he stood at the door and said with a look of disapproval.
Soon, more people joined in.
"That girl seems to be heading towards the dealer."
"The Zhuang family is having a wedding today. If she goes there, who knows how unlucky it will be for the Zhuang family."
"I know that girl. She's the lover of the young master of the Zhuang family. Wait, there's going to be something interesting to watch."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around was startled by the gossip, even Daohua pricked up her ears.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang shook his head helplessly: "Why are you so interested in such boring city affairs?"
Daohua retorted, "Life is full of different things. It never hurts to see more and listen more. Besides, did you notice that the girl just now looked a little strange. It felt like something was going to happen."
Xiao Yeyang was speechless: "How can a grown man like me stare at a girl?"
Seeing that everyone around was following the girl and walking towards the farmhouse, Daohua couldn't help but say, "Xiao Yeyang, let's go over and take a look." As she said that, she walked forward.
Xiao Yeyang had no choice but to accept his fate and follow.
During the first month of the lunar year, everyone has nothing to do, so when something new and unusual happens, they naturally want to join in the fun. What's more, this matter concerns the richest man, Zhuang, which makes it even more eye-catching.
As the girl in mourning walked along, more and more people were attracted and followed her.
Xiao Yeyang was worried that Daohua would be bumped into, so he pulled her behind the crowd and prevented her from going to crowded places.
Daohua didn't like crowding, so she walked slowly with Xiao Yeyang, speculating as she walked: "This must be another story about a sentimental young man abandoning a good girl. Why are you men so fickle?"
Xiao Yeyang was speechless: "Don't kill everyone with one stick, I'm not fickle."
Daohua glanced over and sneered, "Don't be so confident. Be careful of getting slapped in the face later."
Xiao Yeyang was extremely depressed: "Yan Yiyi, why don't you believe me? When did you see me getting entangled with other girls?"
Daohua immediately said, "You're such a liar! Aren't you and Miss Jiang still entangled?" She curled her lips and said, "Many of the wives of officials in Zhongzhou are still spreading rumors about your childhood sweetheart relationship."
Xiao Yeyang was furious: "Didn't I explain to you about Wanying and I? This childhood sweetheart thing is completely fabricated."
Daohua stopped and turned to look directly at Xiao Yeyang: "Let me ask you, Miss Jiang is willing to damage her own reputation in order to get involved with you. Do you know her purpose?"
Xiao Yeyang's brows knitted into a knot: "Whatever her purpose is, it has nothing to do with me."
Daohua was silent for a moment: "What if the Queen Mother in the palace insists on promoting your relationship?"
Xiao Yeyang said firmly: "I will not agree to it."
Daohua: "." She wanted to say that some things did not require his consent, just like the matter of Concubine Ma being promoted to the position of legal wife. However, saying this might hurt Xiao Yeyang, so she swallowed it back.
Seeing that Daohua was silent, Xiao Yeyang also pursed his lips and said nothing.
Behind them, Defu and Wang Maner were very anxious when they saw the two of them started arguing.
At this moment, the street suddenly became noisy and the pedestrians who were originally scattered everywhere rushed in one direction.
"Oh no! Someone committed suicide by banging their head against the wall in front of the banker's gate."
"Is that the girl in mourning just now?"
"Isn't it that person? When the girl arrived at the gate of the manor, she didn't say anything and just ran straight into the gate. It was said that her blood flowed all over the ground, and it was even more red than the red silk."
"Poor thing, that girl only looks like she's just come of age, right? Why is she so depressed?"
Listening to everyone's discussions, Daohua's attention was diverted and she quickly followed the crowd towards the Zhuang Mansion.
When Xiao Yeyang saw this, he quickly grabbed her and carefully protected her.
Soon, everyone gathered outside the mansion.
When Daohua and Xiao Yeyang arrived, the gate of the Zhuang Mansion was already surrounded by people. Daohua had to stand on tiptoe to see a girl in white lying on the stone steps of the gate. A few steps away, a middle-aged man in red silk was standing with a grim face. Obviously, this man was Master Zhuang.
Looking at the girl lying on the ground, Master Zhuang's face showed no pity at all, only disgust and resentment: "Come, get her away quickly."
Among the crowd, there was a man who was eager to watch the show and took over the conversation immediately: "Master Zhuang, the person may not be dead yet. You should ask a doctor to come and take a look. After all, this girl and your son have a good relationship."
Upon hearing this, Master Zhuang's face instantly turned ashen. He wanted to wave his hand to signal the servant to quickly carry the man away, but unexpectedly, more and more people in the crowd called for a doctor.
"Yes, Master Zhuang, today is a big day for your family. You should ask a doctor to come and take a look. After all, it's a human life."
Many people spoke, but no one came forward.
Daohua stood on tiptoe, craning her neck to peer over. "How much strength could a little girl have? She probably only hit her head and isn't dead. But if the wound continues to bleed, that's a different story."
Seeing her frown, Xiao Yeyang turned and glanced at Defu.
After receiving the signal, Defu immediately walked towards the gate: "Everyone make way, I'll go take a look."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone quickly made way for Defu.
Mr. Zhuang wanted to scold Defu for meddling in other people's business, but at this time the housekeeper noticed Xiao Yeyang and Daohua, and hurriedly walked up to him and whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, Master Zhuang immediately looked towards Xiao Yeyang and Daohua. Seeing Xiao Yeyang's awe-inspiring aura, when Defu approached, Master Zhuang moved his lips but didn't say anything to stop him.
Defu was just about to squat down to check if the girl in white was still breathing, when a figure in red suddenly rushed out of the manor: "Hui Niang!"
The man was dressed in wedding clothes, and everyone immediately knew that he was the young master of the Zhuang family who was going to get married today.
The young master of the Zhuang family ignored Mr. Zhuang's attempts to stop him and rushed directly to the girl in white. He carefully held her in his arms and wiped the blood off her forehead with trembling hands: "Hui Niang, it's me, I'm here, open your eyes and look at me."
Master Zhuang looked at his son with a sullen expression: "Cong'er, what are you doing? Get up now."
The young master of the Zhuang family remained unmoved. He looked at the motionless girl in white in his arms with an expression of pain and despair: "Why are you so stupid? Why are you so stupid? If you die, how can I live alone?"
After saying that, he looked up at the stone pillar still stained with blood, slowly put the girl in white on the ground, then stood up and looked at Master Zhuang, then knelt down with a plop.
"Dad, I am unfilial, please forgive me."
Seeing his son like this, Master Zhuang felt a little flustered: "Cong'er, what happened is over. Dad doesn't blame you. Let's live a good life in the future."
Tears welled up in the eyes of the Zhuang family's son. He kowtowed three times to Mr. Zhuang, then slowly turned to look at the girl in white. "Hui Niang, wait for me."
Having said that, he rushed towards the stone pillar fiercely.
"Defu, stop him!"
Daohua realized something was wrong when Master Zhuang knelt down before Mr. Zhuang. When she saw Master Zhuang rushing towards the stone pillar, she shouted to stop him.
Defu didn't expect that Master Zhuang would commit suicide for love. He was stunned for a moment. When he reacted, Master Zhuang had already rushed to the stone pillar and there was no way to stop him.
Just as Master Zhuang crashed into the stone pillar, Xiao Yeyang threw the jade pendant around his waist away.
The jade pendant hit Master Zhuang, reducing the impact a little, but Master Zhuang still crashed into the stone pillar and fell to the ground in an instant with blood all over his face.
"Cong'er!"
Mr. Zhuang was so scared that he turned pale.
At this time, the bride also ran out of the Zhuang Mansion. When she saw Master Zhuang bumping into the pillar, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
