Li Zijing was walking on the way back to the medical clinic. Everywhere he looked was red silk. One house after another seemed to be festive, but also extremely sad. It seemed that all the good things would never happen to him.
Or just a moment of joy.
He could probably guess that the girl who had acquired Hai Kongmu was Luo Xiangyi.
But he didn't know why Luo Xiangyi concealed this matter.
Luo Xiangyi couldn't even eat before. If he could sell some of the sea and sky trees he collected and get some money, he might have been able to escape from the Luo family long ago.
It happened that she had hidden it for so long, for so many years.
She even hid the fact that she had read the Difficult Medical Sutra.
Before he knew it, it was already dawn. He stood at the door and watched Luo Xiangyi come out. She was wearing a bright red wedding dress and a red scarf on her head.
The day has come.
Luo Xiangyi was sitting in the sedan chair. Somehow, she felt someone was looking at her. She secretly lifted up her red scarf, but found that there was no one in front of her.
She got married, which is what her mother always wanted to see.
And she is marrying the person she admired the most as a child.
She had been hungry for as long as she could remember, and she was used to being hungry, but her mother was still sick and couldn't go hungry like this.
For this reason, she could even disregard her dignity and beg her stepmother to give them more food.
That day, she knelt down and prayed as usual, but unexpectedly, a hand grabbed her arm and took her outside.
That was the same child as him, but his gorgeous clothes also reminded her that they were not the same people.
That child is Xi Chu.
Xichu stuffed a bun into her hand and said, "A man has gold under his knees, and a woman is even more noble. She must not kneel down to others."
She didn't say anything, just took the bun and ran away.
Because there is still a mother waiting for him at home.
In the next few days, Luo Xiangyi could see him for several days in a row. Every time he came, he would either bring rice or flour. In short, he would never come empty-handed when he came to see her.
Luo Xiangyi had never seen such a person before.
Someone once saw her pity and sent some food to her, but it was only once or twice.
She had never seen a kind person who would always take her into consideration.
This was the first time she saw someone besides her mother who was willing to care about her, so she remembered what Xichu told her the first time.
"But if I don't kneel down, will they give me something to eat?"
"You can earn it yourself!"
yes! She can earn it herself.
From then on, Luo Xiangyi started to collect herbs every day. The herbs before were collected for her mother, but now they have another purpose.
Later, her relationship with Xichu became better and better, and she also began to call him brother Xichu.
But things backfired, and the rebels plotted to usurp the throne. Soon, in Jingxi Kingdom, the surname was no longer Xi, but Shen.
So far, she has never seen Xi Chu again.
She originally thought that she would not be able to escape, but she did not expect that he escaped this disaster and formed his own army in Nanxia City, turning this barren place into a national capital. Even Shen Xing Everyone panicked.
Luo Xiangyi couldn't even tell how lucky he was.
First, he met his biological father, received good care, and even met a blood-related brother.
Now there are actually people who are willing to take in her as an orphan.
All of this was beyond words, something she had never dared to think about before.
She must have a good life with Xi Chu from now on, so that she can be worthy of her mother's spirit in heaven.
Just as Luo Xiangyi was thinking, he pulled her out of the sedan with one hand.
She almost staggered and rushed out of the carriage, "Who? Who are you?"
The person in front did not come back, but just pulled her and kept running. The red scarf was lifted by the wind, and then he could see clearly who the person in front was.
Also, only the senior brother in this world would do such arrogant things.
Dragging a bride around.
They ran so fast that the red turbans and crowns fell off one after another, leaving only a head of flowing black hair fluttering in the breeze.
Luo Xiangyi looked back at the scattered hair accessories, and then noticed the dark crowd behind them.
She was a little anxious, but she didn't dare to shout loudly. She suppressed all the fear in her heart and followed Li Zijing non-stop.
Luo Xiangyi goes to the mountains all year round to collect herbs. Although he still has some physical strength, he is not as physically strong as Li Zijing who has practiced martial arts.
She gradually felt her steps become heavy and her breathing became rapid.
Li Zijing seemed to realize that Luo Xiangyi was exhausted. At this moment, Li Zijing turned sideways and hugged her waist, and they squeezed into an extremely narrow alley.
At this time, they were standing face to face, and the distance between them was only a punch.
Luo Xiangyi's mouth was covered by a pair of big hands. She looked at Li Zijing with big eyes.
Li Zijing shook his head slightly, signaling her not to speak.
She had never been so close to a man. After running, it was difficult for her to calm down. As a result, she seemed to feel that her breathing was getting hotter.
The heat spread to the other hand bit by bit, and Luo Xiangyi was even more afraid that the heat would burn him.
Soon the man in black caught up behind him.
Seeing that they were about to appear in front of her, Luo Xiangyi simply closed her eyes. Now she couldn't escape or hide, so she simply believed in the man standing opposite him.
"Where can you run with a woman?"
"That's right, even if you have Qinggong, you may not be able to support a woman."
"Look, there's an alley there, should we go take a look?"
"What are you looking at? It's such a small alley that no one can pass through. How can you hide anyone?"
After Luo Xiangyi closed his eyes, his ears became extremely sensitive.
They said so, but the footsteps were still approaching her, getting closer and closer.
Luo Xiangyi could feel the hand on his mouth constantly sweating, as if he was about to attack at any time.
"No! The Fifth Prince's people are coming, run!"
The footsteps on that side stopped and turned to run to the other side. The footsteps became farther and farther until they were completely inaudible.
Luo Xiangyi felt the wetness on his mouth getting worse. When he opened his eyes again, he found that his hands were full of blood.
She panicked.
"Big Brother!"
Li Zijing quickly put his hands behind his back and shouted angrily: "Are you stupid? A father who never raised you can let you stay with him for the rest of your life just because of his words?"
Luo Xiangyi had no idea what was happening.
All she knew was that not long after she got on the sedan chair, she was dragged off the sedan chair, and then she was chased by men in black.
She had no idea what was going on, and she didn't know why Li Zijing was hostile to him.
Luo Xiangyi was also yelled at by the sudden attack, which aroused his temper, "It's always the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Do you think I have a choice? Can I choose?"
Who among the women in this world does not live like this?
Why do you think you are special?
Of course she could refuse. The Luo family's breach of contract had nothing to do with her, but she was worried about Kang Qingtang.
If she stayed as a woman in Kang Qing Hall, she would eventually attract criticism, even if she had absolutely legitimate reasons, even if she was a disciple of Kang Qing Hall.
At that time, all the unpleasant things were said.
Kang Qingtang is so honest and upright, but he has never recruited a female apprentice in so many years. Not only will her reputation be damaged, but Kang Qingtang will also be implicated.
People's words are scary, it's not like she hasn't experienced it before.
If she could marry Xi Chu, not only could she help Kang Qingtang, but she could even teach the Luo family a lesson.
lifetime? A lifetime is just a snap of the fingers.
No matter how hard the days are, what else can you still struggle with? It's just a change of place to live, so what does it matter?
Li Zijing suppressed his anger and said, "As long as you say a word, I can take you away."
Luo Xiangyi could see that Li Zijing's eyes were full of expectation, but for her, it didn't matter who she married, and it would be best to marry someone with a powerful position.
At least it would help her vent her anger.
Luo Xiangyi said righteously: "No need, I would like to thank senior brother."
"He's using you, you know?"
Luo Xiangyi smiled slightly, taking advantage? Who in this world is not taking advantage of someone? It's not like she was taking advantage of Xi Chu's power.
You are not clean yourself, so why point fingers at others.
Li Zijing saw that she had not moved for a long time and seemed to have made up her mind, so he said no more and left.
Luo Xiangyi looked at his leaving figure and felt inexplicably lonely.
Yes, it is rare in this world for someone to care about her sincerely and ask her if she loves this person.
Such rare family affection was lost just as soon as it was obtained.
After a while, Xichu came with someone. He looked anxiously from top to bottom, "Are you injured? I'm sorry, I scared you."
Luo Xiangyi shook his head.
Xi Chu arrived late and looked very lively in black clothes. This made Luo Xiangyi look even more stupid in red clothes.
It turns out that not only the Luo family wants to take advantage of her, but also the eldest brother who has been taking care of her has other plans for her.
Xi Chu captured all the men in black who had just surrounded and suppressed her. Obviously, if the plan had not been laid out early, all the men in black would not have been arrested.
And the formal attire on Xi Chu's body showed that he had known about this for a long time.
In other words, all of this was arranged by Xichu and he just used the wedding as a gimmick.
She wasn't too sad, she just faced the matter calmly.
Being let down has become the norm.
Luo Xiangyi said calmly: "Let's go."
Xi Chu was stunned for a moment, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he was even a little disappointed. It seemed that he was not satisfied with Luo Xiangyi's performance.
The rhythm of the wedding was disrupted, but the wedding was not cancelled. The auspicious hour had already passed. By the time they finished worshiping each other and bowed to each other, it was already noon.
Luo Xiangyi was placed alone in the bedroom, waiting quietly for her husband to lift her hijab after eating and drinking.
But Luo Xiangyi's hijab was blown open by the wind this morning, and the first person she saw was Li Zijing.
As the maids passed by the door, they shouted at the top of their lungs: "I have never seen such a miserable girl. The legitimate daughter was raised as a concubine. She finally looked forward to her marriage, but the dowry was taken away by her stepmother. I thought She could rely on the fifth prince, but she didn't expect that the fifth prince would just treat her as a pawn."
"Stop talking. Keep your voice down." The maid next to her kept shaking her head and pointed at Luo Xiangyi's bedroom.
The maid let out a soft "hum", as if it touched her blood.
"Save him, chess piece, is she worthy?"
"Okay, no more talking."
Luo Xiangyi heard everything clearly, but didn't say a word, as if he didn't hear it at all.
Suddenly her eyes lit up and someone lifted her hijab.
