Chapter 337: No Light
Rong Wenxuan looked at the girl in front of him with distress.
But no one knew that when he was just beginning to understand the world, she had slept with him in disguise as a maid. When he sobered up the next day, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and was in a state of panic all day, fearing that this scandal would be exposed and make the entire Rong family a laughing stock.
Although he was drunk at the time and did not do the last step, he still watched, kissed, hugged, and did many other things that he shouldn't have done, which had tarnished her innocence.
He could not escape, so he could only kneel before her and confess, and explain that it was an accident and that it would not happen again. However, she was unwilling to stop and used it as a threat. He knew that it was wrong, so he did not do what happened when he was drunk that day.
However, the truth cannot be hidden. After a long time, the abnormal relationship between the two was discovered. That day, all the relatives of the Rong family looked at him with disappointment. His second uncle and second aunt even scolded him as worse than a beast. After discussion, the whole family planned to let them marry separately. No, let him be someone else's son-in-law directly, away from Rong Mingjin, so that the two would not do anything shameful again.
When they made this decision, he was relieved. In fact, he had wanted to get rid of this relationship for a long time, but Rong Mingjin was unwilling to give up. She threatened him with death every time, making him compromise again and again. Now that his family knew about it, he didn't have to worry about the secret being exposed, so he wanted to end this relationship completely.
"Brother, I don't want to marry anyone else." Rong Mingjin tightly grasped Rong Wenxuan's clothes, "I don't want you to marry anyone else either."
Rong Wenxuan touched Rong Mingjin's hair and comforted him, "Jin'er, our relationship is wrong. You were affected by what happened back then and became too dependent on your second brother. In fact, when we were in danger, your eldest brother made a lot of efforts to save us."
"I know my feelings very well. When you kiss me, I feel very happy. Doesn't my second brother like to kiss me too?"
"Stop talking." Rong Wenxuan was embarrassed.
How could he say that it was a man's instinct?
When he met Xia Ruwan, he was amazed and was willing to marry her.
During these days of getting along, he also put his heart into Xia Ruwan.
Now that she had finally stopped talking about breaking off the engagement, he wanted to put an end to all the old things and have a happy marriage and children with her.
"Your wedding date is coming soon, prepare well and don't do anything stupid again." Rong Wenxuan let her go. "On your wedding day, I will carry you to the sedan chair."
Rong Mingjin pushed him away angrily: "Are you in love with her? I don't allow you to like anyone else."
Rong Sheng's voice came from outside: "Greetings, Master."
Rong Wenxuan quickly let her go.
Fear also flashed in Rong Mingjin's eyes.
Rong Wenxuan stood up and wanted to find a place to hide, but Rong Jingbo had already walked in.
Rong Jingbo looked at the white silk hanging on the beam, pulled it, tore it off, and threw it on the ground.
He looked coldly at Rong Mingjin who was sitting on the ground and Rong Wenxuan who was obviously feeling guilty.
"Someone come..."
Several servants came in from outside.
"The Third Miss's wedding is approaching. She needs to learn etiquette carefully. Let the etiquette nanny teach her carefully. She is not allowed to finish before the wedding date."
"Brother, I don't want to learn any etiquette, let alone get married." Rong Mingjin said angrily, "If you marry me off, I will be a widow tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter. Even if you are a widow, you are still the widow of the Li family." Rong Jingbo looked at her coldly, "Even if you die, you must die in the Li family."
Rong Mingjin's face was full of fear.
Rong Jingbo's eyes told her that he really didn't care about her life or death, and the tricks she used on Rong Wenxuan were useless to him.
She has always been afraid of this elder brother, and she also knows that he is decisive in killing and is the most trusted heir of the Rong family.
"And you..." Rong Jingbo looked at Rong Wenxuan coldly, "Originally, you were to get married first, then the third sister, but now the order of the two of you is reversed. When Mingjin gets married, your marriage should also be on the agenda. I hope both marriages go smoothly and nothing goes wrong. Otherwise, don't blame me, the eldest brother, for not caring about the brother-sister relationship. Rong Mingjin, although those people are dead, there are still many clues if you want to investigate. Who do you think you can hide from?"
Rong Mingjin's face turned pale: "Brother, I, I don't know what you are talking about."
Rong Wenxuan was puzzled and looked at Rong Mingjin with suspicion: "Brother, who is dead? What does this mean? What did you do?"
Rong Mingjin's face turned pale: "I don't know what you are talking about, brother. You misunderstood. Don't worry, I will marry honestly and won't make trouble again."
"That would be better." Rong Jingbo turned away.
He walked to the door and turned his head to look at Rong Wenxuan: "Are you not leaving yet?"
Rong Wenxuan glanced at Rong Mingjin, then followed Rong Jingbo with confusion.
After leaving the door, Rong Wenxuan asked, "Brother, what did you mean by what you just said?"
"Why did the Rong family invite Miss Xia to burn incense? Who suggested this? Why did Mingjin take Miss Xia to the back mountain to see the scenery? Where did those robbers come from, and who killed them? Rong Wenxuan, you think a woman is weak and pitiful just because she sheds a few tears, but have you ever thought that some tears can kill people?"
"You mean Ming Jin... It's impossible. Although Ming Jin is a little willful, she is not such a cruel person."
"There is no cure." Rong Jingbo sneered, "Fortunately, the Rong family is not in your hands, otherwise, let alone the imperial merchant, I'm afraid it would have been eaten alive long ago."
"Brother, is it really Mingjin? Then she was so scared that she didn't know what was going on and wouldn't let me go. Was she just pretending?"
"Guess." Rong Jingbo looked at him with disdain, then turned back and said to his men, "Did you make an appointment with Mr. Qin to check out the goods today?"
"Yes." The attendant said, "We need to pick a batch of goods and send them to the border today."
"Let's go, don't keep Mr. Qin waiting for too long."
Rong Wenxuan stood there, feeling as if he had suffered a huge blow.
Rong Jingbo's disdain became more obvious, and he muttered, "A man without any responsibility and courage, being played around by a woman, is really a disgrace to the Rong family."
Although Xia Ruwan looked weak, her personality resembled her mother's, and she was also a hot-tempered person. As her live-in son-in-law, he should be able to make some progress.
Suddenly, I felt that they were marrying into the Xia family, which was beyond their reach. After all, my indecisive brother couldn't support the family, so he could only rely on the blessing of his ancestors.
Rong Wenxuan called Rong Sheng and said, "Rong Sheng, did Tangshan send a piece of jade? Take that piece of jade to the craftsman to make a pair of jade pendants, and use the rest to make some jewelry to send to the Xia family."
Rong Sheng said, "Miss San also likes that piece of jade very much. She said she plans to make a whole set of jewelry out of it. Young Master promised her before."
"Send it to the Xia family." Rong Wenxuan said after a moment of silence.
