Chapter 392 The unlucky person who lost his innocent life——Meng Xiuyan 8
"Yes, that's it." Father Meng continued.
"Shu'er, come with me later. We'll go to the city and sell it. That way, we won't have any more trouble."
"Yes, Dad." Meng Yanshu went into the inner room, took his coat, dressed himself, and left home with his father.
After they left, Meng's mother's depressed expression changed and became full of joy.
She looked at Xihe and said with a smile, "After selling that thing, our family will be much better off, and your brother won't have to worry about getting married."
"When the time comes, I can also buy some good things for you two sisters."
"You have worked hard over the years and sacrificed so much for your brother and this family."
Meng's mother also felt sorry for her daughter, but the family was short of money, so she had to let her son use it first.
They wanted their son to be successful so that they could support their daughter.
"Mom, we are all family. Wouldn't it be too polite if we said too much?" Xihe said with a smile, "It's still dark, you should go and rest first!"
"Mom, you should go and have some rest!" Meng Xiuyan's sister, Meng Xiuli, also came forward to persuade her.
"Oh, okay, you guys should go to bed early too."
After they had put their minds at ease, they went back to their rooms and quickly fell asleep.
Here, Meng's father and Meng Yanshu traveled all night and waited until dawn. They just caught up with the time when the city gate opened. After paying the money, the two entered the capital.
I don’t know if I was particularly lucky, but when I was on the mountain, I felt an indescribable feeling.
When I arrived in this county town, I met a kind-hearted person.
The man told them which place sold medicinal herbs fairly. When they went there, it was just as the man expected. The man didn't ask them to lower the price too much, but gave them a good price directly.
When they got the silver bills and walked out of the pharmacy, they still felt a little dazed.
Looking at his dazed father, Meng Yanshu suggested, "Dad, now that you have money, can you bring some things back for the family?"
"Okay." After hearing his son's words, Father Meng calmed down a little and agreed immediately.
My family has suffered a lot over the years, so it’s only right that I can buy them some good things now that I have money.
They bought a new backpack and put the things they bought in it to avoid being seen and having their things looked at.
When we got home and took out the gifts, everyone was very happy.
"Master, the atmosphere in their home is very good."
"Well, what a pity, meeting a person like that ruined this family."
"Yes, especially this Meng Yanshu. He is quite knowledgeable. He can be considered a noble son from a humble family."
"A life with so much promise was cut short before it even began to unfold."
“Who says it’s not?”
Butler Rong delivered the things needed for the wedding day, as well as the wedding date agreed upon by the Rong family.
Seeing that the date was chosen, the Meng family did not raise any objections.
I agreed and got married on April 10th next month.
Next, they started to prepare the things needed at home. Meng Yanshu mostly helped the family with housework, and reviewed his studies when he was free.
Xihe knew that he wanted to take the imperial examination, but he also wanted to avenge his family, and he was afraid of his future after taking revenge.
What Xihe wanted to say to him was: Don’t worry, your future will not be ruined.
The wedding date arrived soon amidst the busy schedule, and the Meng family also invited a sedan chair to go and pick up the bride.
The Rong family had been showing a hint of nervousness since early morning, and both the Rong couple looked unhappy.
Because their precious daughter is getting married today, and the marriage is not satisfactory.
Although no one in the capital said anything, there were still many people watching their family's excitement openly or secretly.
"Yue'er, have you really thought it through?" Rong's mother still felt sorry for her daughter, so she asked again.
"Mom, now that it has come to this, there is no turning back. I can only go this far."
Rong Yuexian wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and comforted her mother softly.
"Then remember, even if you are married, you are still the daughter of your family. If you have any difficulties, come back to find your parents and brother."
"Okay, I remember."
They didn't notice that Rong Yuexian's sister-in-law rolled her eyes when she heard what they said.
In her mind, her sister-in-law was a disaster. She hadn't even gotten married yet, but she was already following a man around everywhere.
Their family was laughed at by others, but her parents-in-law thought their daughter had done nothing wrong, so they kept spoiling her. Now, people are laughing at her even more.
She couldn't help but feel sad for Rong Yuexian's in-laws. They would regret marrying such a woman.
Rong Yuexian got into the bridal sedan, and Zhou Wenjie personally led the team to go home.
He had promised his parents that day to take Lianlian as his concubine.
But he didn't know if he was out of his mind or what, he just wanted to give her a ceremony.
When he heard the news that Rong Yuexian was going to get married, he ordered people to prepare some things and went to welcome Lianlian into the house in a grand manner.
He acted first and reported later, and by the time his parents found out, it was too late.
As expected, the two sedan chairs met on the road, and Rong Yuexian saw the person next to her through the flying curtains.
She was heartbroken, thinking that he actually gave such respect to a prostitute, she couldn't stop the sadness in her heart, and tears kept rolling out of her eyes.
Looking at the sign for the wedding, Zhou Wenjie wanted to get off his horse and grab the person in the sedan chair.
But he had given her a way out that day, and she didn't take it.
Is my reputation so worthless? Let her trample on it like that.
But he forgot how sad Rong Yuexian was when he announced the cancellation of the engagement in public.
Since she is willing to marry, let her marry.
Then I will snatch her away from her and let her see how useless the man she is going to marry is.
The sedan chairs separated and went in different directions, and the four married people each had their own ulterior motives.
One of them resented her for not knowing what was good for her, and his face was full of anger.
One of them wanted to kill both of them.
One hated him for being so heartless and forgetting their friendship for so many years.
Only Lianlian's face was filled with joy. It was such a blessing for a brothel girl like her to be able to enter the general's mansion.
So what if it’s the Rong family? The pampered eldest daughter can’t compare to me. I still got her sweetheart.
I don’t know what the eldest daughter of the Rong family is feeling now. The more she thinks about Lianlian, the more proud she feels. She can’t wait to lift the curtain of the sedan chair to take a look.
She could also hear the discussions of the people around her. When she heard that Rong Yuexian had married a poor scholar, she wanted to put her hands on her hips and laugh out loud three times.
She thought she was a young lady, but it turned out that she didn't even have the ability to bear this. She married him obediently before I even did anything.
It's ridiculous and meaningless. I don't feel any sense of accomplishment when dealing with someone like her.
If she marries a poor scholar, she will never be able to match his status and position in her life.
