Chen Wu shook his head repeatedly and took a step back in disbelief.
Yan Jiao continued: "I don't want to think about this when I get old in the future, and what's left is just unbearable. So, let's separate decently and don't get entangled. I don't admire you for being rich, and I don't want you to be miserable." It has nothing to do with it. It’s my choice to stay so close to each other and never return to the end of the world.”
Li Yuan didn't expect that she would remember everything she said to Yan Jiao.
Hearing this, she looked at Chen Wu and said, "Let's go. Jiaojiao has us, so you don't have to worry about her. She can live a good life just like you did in the past, let alone the future without you."
It was only now that Chen Wu truly felt that he had lost Yan Jiao from now on.
The moment she turned around in his life, she never looked back.
It was his fault, it was him who lost this woman who had been by his side wholeheartedly.
He was the one who broke her heart and lost her with his own hands.
From then on, whether she was good or bad had nothing to do with him.
He couldn't appear in front of her, he was afraid that he would lose his temper.
Therefore, if you want to know information about her, you have to ask others...
Thinking about this, and then thinking about the scene when she was by his side day and night when he was dying, he couldn't help but get red eyes.
He looked up at the dim sky.
The appearance of not being able to see the light was just like his mood.
The only light in his world went out, and from then on, his world was dark.
Yan Jiao didn't hear his voice. She turned around and used the light of the lantern that was lit at some point. She saw him looking up at the sky with a faint light in the corners of his eyes. She felt a lot of pain in her heart.
It was just that she had been in pain and didn't want to feel pain again, so she gritted her teeth and turned around to leave.
As soon as she stepped into the door of Xie's house, Chen Wu's hoarse voice came from behind her.
"Jiaojiao, Shiyu is a living contract girl. I can't kill people with a stick. If I hadn't been soft-hearted at the beginning and just drugged people and sent them to the village, would we still be where we are today?"
Yan Jiao paused, but still didn't look back. She just whispered "No" and continued walking forward.
When the figure was almost out of sight, I heard her say again: "What I want is your attitude from beginning to end. But your compassion and your intolerance are all cruel to me. Look at her intolerable eyes, It's like using a knife to cut open my heart. I once thought, what would you think if it were me and someone else? That's it, Brother Wu, this is also the last time I call you Brother Wu. From now on, take care of it!"
After saying this, Yan Jiao disappeared.
Chen Wu, a grown man, burst into tears. He threw the firewood on the ground, turned around and left with heavy steps.
As soon as he left, the spectators also left one after another.
Li Yuan was about to enter the house when Chen Miaomiao's voice came from behind.
"Yuan Niang!"
Li Yuan turned around and saw Chen Miaomiao and the girl Qiaoyun standing in the darkness. The girl was holding a package in her hand.
Chen Miaomiao took the package from her hand and handed it to Li Yuan: "Mother Yuan, my mother's case has been settled. I plan to leave early the day after tomorrow. The clothes in this package are the clothes I gave Xiao Wu after I took him back to Fucheng. The embroiderer made it for Jiaojiao. Although she doesn't have the fate to continue to be my younger sister-in-law, the clothes are new and specially made for her. I hope she won't dislike it."
Li Yuan didn't have the habit of collecting things for others, and she didn't know what Yan Jiao was thinking, so she said, "How about you go in and give it to her yourself?"
Chen Miaomiao shook her head: "No, I don't have the nerve to see her. Yuan Niang, just help me give it to her. If she doesn't want it, it doesn't matter if she throws it away or takes it as a pawn, let her do it. Also, follow her for me. She said she was sorry."
Li Yuan hesitated and reached out to take it.
After Chen Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief, she said to her: "If you have the opportunity to visit the capital in the future, please contact her more often."
Li Yuan knew that this was inevitable. She couldn't just cut off the relationship between the two families just because she hated Chen Wu.
What's more, Chen Miaomiao is a good person. Even though she has selfish motives, that person is her biological brother.
It is inevitable to be selfish when facing your loved ones.
Overall, she is a pretty nice person and very sensible!
Thinking about it, she agreed: "Okay! If you have the opportunity in the future, please contact me more often."
When Li Yuan saw Yan Jiao again, she was cooking in the kitchen.
As for her, she didn't say anything, she just helped light the fire.
"Jiaojiao!"
Yan Jiao heard the sound and turned to look at her. After seeing the package in her hand, doubts appeared in her eyes.
Li Yuan noticed that her eyes were slightly red, so she raised the package in her hand and said, "This is from Miaomiao. She said she asked the embroiderer to make it when you first arrived in Fucheng. She sent it today, you It's up to you whether you want to keep it or throw it away. Also, she asked me to say sorry to you on her behalf!"
Yan Jiao's eyes stayed on the package for a long time. She didn't come back to her senses until she saw Mrs. Wang getting up to help with the cooking.
"Keep it. This is my first outfit as the wife of the Chen family. Even if I don't use it, I can keep it."
As she spoke, she laughed at herself: "The Chen family is rich, and as a daughter-in-law, the fabrics used to make clothes are not cheap. If I run out of money one day, I can still pawn them."
Li Yuan heard what she said, thought about it for a moment, and then said: "If it doesn't work out, I can wear it for your younger brother and sister. I remember that her figure is similar to yours, Jiaojiao."
"Um!"

On this day, Xie Yanzhi came back just before midnight.
When he came back, he looked at Li Yuan sleeping soundly and said nothing. He just grabbed a handful of beans from his purse and ate them after midnight, then quickly washed up and rested.
When he woke up again, it was already bright outside, and Li Yuan was sitting by the bed, making clothes for the children with needle and thread in her hand.
"Yuan Niang!"
Li Yuan heard the sound and looked up. Seeing that he was sleepy, she said, "Brother Xie, my uncle went out to inquire early in the morning and said that the Yamen will not be open today. What's going on?"
Xie Yanzhi did not hide anything from her, and said directly: "Yesterday before the city gate was closed, I didn't know what happened, but I received another urgent order from Babaili, saying that Qian and Zheng need to be escorted back to the capital for trial by the Ministry of Justice. There is still money The things searched in Fubiezhuang must also be transported to the capital. I was discussing with Brother Ziran last night because of the lack of silver among those things. "
Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat and she said, "Brother Xie, Master Meng is an imperial envoy. Can't he be executed first and then reported? Can he pretend that he didn't receive the order, start the trial today, and behead the person? Also, is there no problem with the money?" "
If it didn't work, she would have no choice but to take it out!
Xie Yanzhi shook his head: "No, the person who sent the edict is from the palace. As for the money, we have already discussed it. In the case of selling private salt, several mansions were ransacked and a lot of money was taken out."
