Su Hanchu pulled Ping'er and quickly turned to hide in a corner with low footsteps. He stretched out his head and peeked at Li Xiao and the girl named Lin.
Ping'er looked at Su Hanchu's gossipy look and couldn't help but wonder, when did Madam become so gossipy? It was never like this before!
At this time, Miss Lin had tears on her face and she was a little out of control.
"Do you agree to my father's decision to break off the engagement? Then have you asked me if I am willing?"
Li Xiao pursed his lips and wanted to say something? But when she met Lin Xiuzhi's tearful eyes, her throat tightened and her heart was filled with emotions.
"Xiuzhi, things are unpredictable. It is best for you that the marriage between us is cancelled."
Lin Xiuzhi's tears fell even more fiercely, she took a step back and leaned against the wall.
"Brother Li Xiao, my father told me to kiss..."
Li Xiao's pupils dilated, and then he felt relieved. Yes, the marriage had been postponed for a year, and Lin Xiuzhi was not young anymore. If she didn't get engaged, she would miss the flowering period.
"Which one have you decided on...?"
Lin Xiuzhi lowered her eyes.
"Ma family."
Li Xiao nodded slightly after hearing this, his eyes were red and his fists were clenched when he lowered his head.
"It's good. The Lin family and the Ma family have had business contacts for many years, and they can be considered family friends. Behind you is the Lin family, the largest merchant in the northwest. You will not suffer any injustice if you marry into the Ma family."
After hearing this, Lin Xiuzhi looked up at Li Xiao in shock and sadness.
"Very good? You said it's very good?"
Li Xiao noticed her gaze, but did not dare to raise his head to look at her.
"The Ma family has been in business for many years and has a rich family fortune. The son of the Ma family..."
Lin Xiuzhi couldn't help crying anymore.
"Li Xiao... You and I have been engaged for three years. Three years ago. You have put a box of various gifts for me. My wedding dress has been embroidered. You personally sent the fabric. Now tell me Is my Ma family pretty good?"
Su Han, who was hiding in the dark, covered his mouth in surprise when he heard this. This melon is really not that big.
Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiuzhi's painful look, and felt a heart-wrenching pain in his heart. He hurriedly reached out to help her, but felt it was inappropriate, and his hand stopped in mid-air.
"Xiuzhi, go back and don't see her again. This will be bad for your reputation."
Lin Xiuzhi looked at Li Xiao with fixed eyes.
"Li Xiao, if I say I'm willing to go with you, are you willing to take me with you?"
Li Xiao suddenly looked up at her, his eyes suddenly seemed to be filled with countless stars. Thinking of his current situation, his eyes quickly dimmed.
"Xiuzhi, the one who hires you is your wife, and the one who runs is your concubine. You are not worthy of the infamy caused by me. Just pretend that we have never known each other and go back. Otherwise, your father should worry about you."
Su Hanchu, who was in the dark, couldn't help but want to rush over after hearing this. Why was Li Xiao so timid? Fortunately, Ping'er had quick eyes and hands to hold her back and spoke in a low voice.
"Mrs. Madam, what are you going to do? Go over now and everyone will be embarrassed, okay?"
After hearing this, Su Han could only continue to grit his teeth and watch. This Li Xiao, she must find a chance to talk to him properly. This girl has a sincere heart. Since she is interested in him, she shouldn't make him so sad. Is there anything wrong with this? Can we face it together and solve it?
Lin Xiuzhi leaned on the wall, her eyes filled with disappointment, which could even be said to be despair. She put down her pride and said that for this reason, he was so indifferent. But three years ago, from the moment the two families agreed on the marriage, she I have always regarded him as my future husband. I have been embroidering the wedding dress for three years, and now I have to wear it to marry someone else. How can I accept it?
"Li Xiao, I will not marry into the Ma family. You have always been wise and you are the queen of the family. I hope you will not regret your decision today."
Then he walked tremblingly to the other end of the alley.
Li Xiao looked at her somewhat unsteady back and took a step forward to help her. After all, Xiuzhi didn't say those words, and restrained her steps to stop.
Su Hanchu was about to take Ping'er to cut the road to follow, but saw Li Xiao start to walk forward slowly, walking in the direction Lin Xiuzhi was walking.
Su Han lost interest in eating during the first day of the new year. He used his sleeves to cover himself and took out a few pastries from the space. He gave a few pieces to Ping'er and the two of them followed closely while eating.
When he walked out of the alley, Li Xiao stopped. Su Hanchu saw from a distance that Lin Xiuzhi had walked into the crowd of people on the street.
Li Xiao looked at the getting smaller and smaller figure in the distance with a lonely expression. Xiuzhi is me after all. Li Xiao can’t help you. I hope you forget the past and live well for the rest of your life. It wasn’t until Lin Xiuzhi’s back completely disappeared that Li Xiao turned around to another one. direction.
When Su Han saw that Li Xiao had stopped following him for the first time, he hurriedly pulled Ping'er to follow him from the other side. The mood of this Lin Xiuzhi was so wrong. Li Xiao, the silly boy, didn't hear it. He came from the 21st century and had seen so many things. He was reading a TV novel about love suicide, and his instinct told him that this Lin Xiuzhi might do something stupid.
Ping'er spoke with some confusion.
"Madam, how long are we going to follow them? You've seen things you shouldn't have seen and heard things you shouldn't have heard. What are you going to do now?"
Su Hanchu approached Lin Xiuzhi calmly and spoke.
"Are you stupid? Don't you see that this girl's mood is too wrong? And what she just said, are you worried that she will do something stupid? As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Let's follow it first. , if he goes home, then we won’t care about him, if he goes somewhere he shouldn’t go, then for Li Xiao’s sake, we will also take care of it.”
Sure enough, Lin Xiuzhi started to walk out of the crowd and towards the suburbs. Su Hanchu could only slow down and keep the distance slightly, otherwise it would be embarrassing if others found out that she was following them.
After walking for about an hour, I saw Lin Xiuzhi walking to the river in the town. Not far away, there were several ladies washing clothes.
Even Ping'er became nervous now.
"Madam, she's not really going to do something stupid, is she?"
Su Hanchu felt nervous and quickened his pace.
"Quick, go there..."
He was about to see Lin Xiuzhi.
But he saw that she had already jumped into the river...
