Through the opened car curtain, Qi Yun could see the world outside the car curtain at a glance.
It was deserted outside, and there was no one within ten miles. All you can see are lonely graves without owners.
With just one glance, Qi Yun knew that he had been dragged to a mass grave.
The coachman who pulled her here didn't seem to be afraid that she would recognize this place.
After all, this is the mass grave where Tiantian should not respond and Earth and Earth should not work.
Even if she realizes something is wrong, what can a weak woman do?
The reason why he asked her to come down was that the coachman just didn't want Qi Yun's blood to splash on the carriage.
However, Qi Yun refused to get off the carriage at all, so the coachman could only impatiently say, "Get off the carriage quickly!"
Qi Yun said, "Brother Niu, I want to make a deal with you!"
Seeing Qi Yun being so uncooperative, the coachman immediately showed the dagger in his hand, "What a bullshit deal! If I kill you, that's the biggest deal."
However, Qi Yun whispered, "Brother Niu, if you kill me, do you think you can survive?"
Hearing this, the coachman stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"
Qi Yun then looked at the coachman sympathetically and said, "Brother Niu, I have a bad disease. Even if you don't kill me, I will die. But if you kill me yourself, aren't you afraid of infecting me with the bad disease?" ?”
"Even if you're not infected, do you think the Madam can tolerate you?" As he spoke, Qi Yun just pulled out a dagger from his sleeve.
Seeing the dagger, the coachman immediately looked at Qi Yun warily, but Qi Yun just played with the dagger, and then whispered, "This dagger was given to me by the madam. She told me before she came, let me be careful." You. It doesn't matter if I use this dagger to sneak attack you if necessary."
"I didn't understand what the bustard meant at first. After all, Brother Niu and I have some feuds, but the feud between us should not be to the point of life and death."
"It wasn't until Brother Niu brought me here that I knew what the bustard meant. Did she also give you an order? Did she ask you to kill me directly?"
The driver didn't say anything, but his expression clearly told Qi Yun that her guess was absolutely correct.
Qi Yun then said, "She actually most likely wants you and me to kill each other."
"I'm alive and can survive for a few days, but if my eldest brother wins, what will he get?"
When the coachman heard this, he was displeased and said, "The bustard promised me that I can get two silver rewards as long as I get rid of you!"
"But is my brother worthy of my life? Even if you kill me, can you guarantee that the Madam will fulfill her oath? Instead of reporting you to the government for murder? After all, she is asking you and me to kill each other."
Hearing Qi Yun's words, the coachman was obviously a little shaken.
Regardless of whether what Qi Yun said is true or not, if he really kills Qi Yun, he will indeed feel like someone is holding his neck in the future. No matter what he does, he may become an abandoned child.
And he and Qi Yun did have a disagreement, but the disagreement was far from rising to the point of killing each other.
So after a brief hesitation, the coachman could only say, "How do you want to trade?"
Seeing that the coachman was shaken, Qi Yun quickly took out the jewelry he had just taken off and said, "I'll leave all these to you, brother. Please give me a way out. I don't expect you to help me get out of here." As long as eldest brother doesn't kill me, that's enough."
Hearing Qi Yun's words, the coachman was obviously moved. He was not a professional killer. He and Qi Yun had known each other. He was a full-time groom at Fenghuafang. Although he sometimes acted as a thug and stole from Fenghuafang because he liked gambling. Sisters’ gold and silver.
But it was indeed his first time to commit murder and arson. If he hadn't lost all his monthly money recently, he wouldn't have been able to cooperate with the madam to do such a thing.
But now after listening to Qi Yun's analysis and looking at the gold, silver and jewelry that Qi Yun gave him, he found that these were far enough to pay off the debt he owed.
Therefore, the groom also began to hesitate.
Then Qi Yun took the initiative to get out of the carriage. She took the initiative to hand the baggage to the coachman and said, "Brother, these are all the valuable things I have. Please listen to my advice and don't go back to Fenghuafang to pay for that old pious man." Mother-in-law worked hard, otherwise I don’t know what fate is waiting for you later.
Woolen cloth. "
The coachman took Qi Yun's baggage and looked at the golden jewelry inside, obviously a little moved.
And perhaps moved by Qi Yun's sincerity, he whispered, "I don't have to kill you. Where do you want to go?"
Qi Yun looked at the coachman, but he smiled weakly and shook his head and said, "People like me still have a few days to live. I just don't want to be killed. Brother, just don't worry about me. Let me stay here." Let it fend for itself.”
The coachman wanted to say more, but Qi Yun only said, "Besides, it would be bad if the rash on my body spreads to others."
After hearing Qi Yun's words, the coachman finally stopped insisting on taking Qi Yun away, but perhaps because he was worried about taking people's money, he threw Qi Yun a bed of torn cotton wool and a few dry noodle buns before leaving. Afterwards, after Qi Yun thanked him profusely, the coachman finally walked away.
Outside the Lu Mansion was ablaze with lights and colorful decorations. In the past, the Lu Mansion was deserted, but today it was once again crowded with guests.
Even the mistress of the Lu family who is now the head of the family can't help but feel happy. Since her husband's death and the Lu family's sudden decline, it has been a long time since she has seen such a scene today.
And today, not only are there many people coming to congratulate him, but the deeper reason is that his son's marriage is finally settled.
After all, Lu Zhizhang had refused many marriages introduced by others before just because the family business had not been revitalized and he did not dare to support his family.
If the only thing that attracted his attention at the beginning was probably the marriage that Concubine Yuxian had arranged to secure the match.
At that time, Concubine Yuxian introduced Jiang Xiang’s daughter Jiang Nianjiao. The girl was pretty and smart. Zhizhang should have fallen in love with her at first sight. Unfortunately, Zhizhang fell in love with that girl, but the girl’s eyes clearly showed that Without him, and after that, it was quickly spread that King Jin had a very unhappy relationship with the Queen just to marry her.
But even so, the queen finally compromised.
Although their family's intellectuals were excellent, it was obviously impossible to steal someone from the prince.
After that, she also heard that her son was obsessed with the girl and was entangled with her. For this reason, she had been worried that her son would always be entangled with the girl.
And since he was recommended by the Gao family and rose to prominence, she has been able to make fewer and fewer decisions for her son.
Even the marriage was beyond her control.
Especially after it was reported that King Jin died in Yunzhou, she had been worried that her son would pester the daughter of the Jiang family again.
Therefore, she only went around asking people to find suitable girls for her son.
However, now he has found a daughter-in-law for himself after he was worried. Although the new daughter-in-law's family is now in decline, and the reputation of Qi Xiaoguo Gong and his son is not very good, the daughter-in-law herself is knowledgeable, courteous, considerate and sensible. of.
Therefore, within a few days, she already fell in love with Qi Peipei, who was deliberately trying to please her.
After Lu Zhizhang announced that the object of his love was Qi Peipei in the restaurant last time, he and Qi Peipei quickly agreed to get married.
And both parties seem to be afraid that the other will regret it, and just want the two juniors to get married as soon as possible.
In the end, the two hit it off immediately, and the wedding date was naturally set quickly. ..
Today is the day of Lu Zhizhang's wedding.
After Lu Zhizhang welcomed his bride and asked her to stay in the bridal chamber, he went out to drink with her and thank all her relatives and friends.
Today, he was wearing a red wedding dress, and his already handsome face became more energetic and confident against the backdrop of the golden crown and jade belt.
He and a few of his friends toasted to each other with only thin glasses of wine.
However, his eyes were looking for a person's figure in the packed seats. After seeing that person's figure clearly, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
However, when he thought that his marriage today was caused by worshiping that person, the hatred in his heart made him feel cold again.
After passing tables like this, when he finally got to Jiang Nianjiao's table, he just smiled and said some polite words like those at the previous tables.
Jiang Nianjiao was worried that he would talk nonsense, but when she saw that although he was drunk, he did not lose his composure, Jiang Nianjiao breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't want to attend Lu Zhizhang's marriage. After all, her previous life with Lu Zhizhang was considered
Husband and wife, and they are still the kind of resentful couple, and in this life, he is still entangled with himself.
In order to avoid getting too entangled with him, Qi Peipei happened to beg to cooperate with her, so she naturally followed the trend and helped Qi Peipei.
But she also knew in her heart that it was impossible for Lu Zhizhang not to see that she was contributing to this, so she always thought about being as far away from Lu Zhizhang as she could.
It's just that the invitations from the Lu family and the Qi family have been sent to the house. If he doesn't come, he seems to feel guilty.
So after some weighing, she still went to the banquet at Lu Mansion.
Jiang Nianjiao then raised her glass and said some words of blessing with the others, and then drank the wine in one gulp.
Fortunately, Lu Zhizhang didn't talk much after that. After drinking the glass of wine, he went to other seats.
After finishing the banquet, Jiang Nianjiao naturally couldn't leave directly because Aunt Du was dragged away by other old friends to chat.
Just listening to the family dramas on the stage and their discussions, Jiang Nianjiao felt extremely bored.
The subject of their discussion at the moment was naturally the groom and the bride today.
It is nothing more than saying that the bride is not worthy of the groom.
Jiang Nianjiao felt bored after listening to it for a while, and her chest felt tight. She told her aunt that she would go out to get some fresh air, and then took Lianying out.
After leaving the door, she didn't go far, only staying in a pavilion not far away.
The pavilion in December was naturally no warmer than the inner room where the silver charcoal was burning, but because few people came, it was much quieter.
However, it was really cold in December. After Jiang Nianjiao sneezed unconsciously, the maid Lianying only said, "Miss, I'd better go indoors and get you a cloak."
