Chapter 98 Just Burn More Paper

Hengyu looked at her, and said: "If there were outsiders obstructing shopkeeper Miao from investigating this matter, shopkeeper Miao would be more vigilant. But if someone he trusted around him obstructed it, because shopkeeper Miao would subconsciously treat the people around him as If you take the same position, it will be difficult to realize that you are blindfolded. If there are other things that confuse your vision, those doubts will naturally disappear after a long time."

Lady Miao's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if a maze wall that had stood in her heart for many years suddenly collapsed.

The reason why this wall will fall is not only because of Miss Ji’s pointless words, but also because of her recently subverted cognition——

The person she trusted in the past has now shown her fangs, and these fangs will not grow in a day.

Therefore, it is time to look at everything from a different perspective...

"Among the five people, No.1 died less than half a month after getting married to Shopkeeper Miao, and the second person died of an emergency shortly after getting engaged—"

Hengyu said: "At this time, there have been rumors in the shopkeeper Miao Kefu, the world is like this, it is a matter of life and death, it is the normal state of ordinary people to taboo, but under this situation, there will still be a third person, or even a fourth or fifth person who will not agree to it. Afraid of rumors, discussing marriage with shopkeeper Miao and making an engagement... What could be the reason for this?"

"Yes, I don't have the appearance of a city, and I don't have a rich dowry worthy of their risky plans..." Mrs. Miao said in a daze: "After much deliberation, the only possibility is to be happy for others."

Recalling some details of that time, she belatedly said: "When discussing marriage, I never heard that they were ill. My mother and the others probably knew it well, but they just kept it from me. That's all... I heard that some people will go to fortune-telling to make their son happy, and they will choose women with excellent horoscopes to overcome disasters and save their lives."

Let others borrow her life and watch her bear Kefu's notoriety, so as to save his brother's family fortune?

Her mother often cried to her that her father left early, leaving her alone as a woman struggling to support the family, and she was really powerless.

He also expresses euphemistically and implicitly, with such a poor family background, if there is another widowed elder sister who drags down his reputation, it will be even more difficult for his younger brother to marry a wife in the future——

At that time, she understood her mother's situation very well, and was very worried about it, so even though she felt repulsed by the next few marriage discussions, she finally nodded in her mother's tears.

Until she "defeated" the fifth person, determined not to marry again, but to live on her own ability--the mother saw her firm attitude and "pityed" her situation, so she agreed in tears.

Later, she managed to live up to her expectations, and her small business was booming. The family life gradually improved, and her younger brother also got married and had children as he wished. Everything is developing in a good direction...

At this moment, all false cognitions are completely broken.

"To be honest, I also guessed like this before, or those people concealed their illnesses, and the people in Shopkeeper Miao's family knew the truth, but didn't tell Shopkeeper Miao. It seems to be a normal marriage discussion, but it's actually a celebration for others—— "Heng Yu said: "But judging from some details today, maybe it's not that simple."

Lady Miao looked at her unexpectedly.

"In Miss Ji's opinion, is there any other possibility?"

"The motive may be all for money, but the truth may not be so simple." Heng Yu analyzed: "Today, the behavior of the second Miao family couple is a little abnormal. They seem to be afraid that the mother of the shopkeeper Miao will say something that should not be said. You've lost your face, you've made trouble to such an extent, and your true colors of profit-seeking have been exposed, so is there anything else you can't say?"

Lady Miao thought about what the girl said and couldn't help nodding.

Yes, after thinking about it, the expressions of the second uncle and aunt were indeed a little strange at that time...

"But besides being happy, what other inside information can there be?" Mrs. Miao couldn't figure it out for a while.

"I'm just guessing at the moment. Maybe I'm suspicious, but I have to find out. Shopkeeper Miao has personally experienced this matter. Maybe I can find some clues from the past—"

Lady Miao nodded: "I understand."

She will calm down and think about it first.

Hengyu took a sip of the warm tea she held in her hands.

Lady Miao subconsciously looked in the direction of Qiantang and asked, "Does he know these guesses?"

Hengyu shook her head.

"Master Liu doesn't know yet."

A smile appeared on the corner of Hengyu's mouth: "Mr. Liu's affection for shopkeeper Miao is pure and sincere, and he is not affected by external factors, or because he doesn't know it, which makes it more valuable."

Hearing this, the haze cast by Miss Miao's eyes due to thinking about the past is slowly dissipating.

The tone became more gentle: "Since it was not entrusted by him, why did Master Ji bother to help me investigate this matter?"

"When Mrs. Jia Yuan's surname was Qi, why did Mrs. Miao take in a stranger to work in the shop?" Heng Yu asked without answering.

After Mrs. Miao was stunned for a moment, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"I know that shopkeeper Miao is not a person who cares much about the world's vision, and neither is Mr. Liu. As I said just now, he is even more valuable because he is not afraid of worldly rumors. But the value lies in the truth, not in the fact that things don't need to exist. The tribulations of his life——Ten thousand steps back, even if those men really died suddenly and unfortunately, the fault is not the shopkeeper Miao, but the ignorance of the world. But if there is really an inside story, and there is still the possibility of revealing the truth, then Miao There is absolutely no reason for the shopkeeper to continue to endure worldly prejudice for the fault of others."

The girl's voice was soft but full of strength: "So, this justice should be returned as a matter of course."

This world already owes a lot to women, so how can women be allowed to "reconcile" prejudice and grievances unconditionally?

There is no possibility of reconciliation for prejudice and grievance, let alone deception and wronged.

Lady Miao's eyes turned red before she knew it.

She didn't say much, she just stood up and kissed the girl deeply: "Thank you Miss Ji, I will trouble Miss Laoji to worry about this matter for me."

She was not as polite as Hengyu.

At this time, being polite to the other party is the expression of disrespect for the other party's wishes.

And this thank you is not only because of the other party's kindness in wanting to help her find out the truth and seek justice—

The two talked for a long time.

When he came out of the house, he saw Liu Xun waiting in the backyard.

"Painter Ji." Liu Xun hurriedly raised his hand to salute.

Heng Yu nodded to him with a smile, and went back to the front hall first.

Seeing Xiao Mu still drinking tea in the hall, Hengyu was a little surprised.

"I'm still the Lord Marquis and I've gone back."

Xiao Mu looked calm: "Just now I was discussing with Mr. Liu—"

Wang Jingyong's eyelids twitched.

Master Liu Bo went to stay in the backyard early in the morning!
It's not appropriate to open your eyes and talk nonsense!

"Then Hou Ye still has to wait for Master Liu?" Heng Yu pointed to the direction of the backyard.

"No need, I still have business to take care of at home." Xiao Mu put down the teacup and got up.

Vice Admiral Wang's expression twisted.

Now that I think about it, there is still business?

Heng Yu smiled and asked: "Then I will go back with Lord Hou?"

Seeing his own general nodding "Yes", Vice General Wang's face gradually became numb.

In the backyard, Liu Xun faintly felt that the woman in front of him seemed to be different.

It seems that... a lot of things have been unloaded, and it is much easier from the inside to the outside.

Is it because of the conversation with Painter Ji just now?
He was quite curious about what the two of them said, and when he was hesitating whether to ask, he only heard the other party ask him: "When are you going to propose marriage?"

Liu Xun opened his mouth in astonishment.

After a while, I found my own voice: "Why don't you wait until your brother has been mourned for a hundred days?"

But as soon as he said it, he regretted it.

Why is he...

really--

"Like I said, I have no reason to hold a mourning for anyone, and this is not an act of anger."

"Okay!" Liu Xun's voice was very decisive this time, and he said with a smile, "...then I'll go back and arrange this today!"

Lady Miao looked at him, slowly smiled, and nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait."

……

After Heng Yu and Xiao Mu returned to the Hou Mansion, they first went to Mrs. Xiao to pay their respects.

When the two arrived, Mrs. Xiao was knocking on melon seeds and scolding: "The mother of shopkeeper Miao's house is really useless as a mother! No, she is not worthy of being a human being!... To be born in such a devil's den, shopkeeper Miao really fell down!" Eight lifetimes of blood mold!"

"Our mother's face has been completely thrown away by her!"

"She will lose all the face of women in the world!"

Xiao Mu and Heng Yu looked at each other silently.

Is the news so well-informed?

The two of them listened to Mrs. Xiao scolding for half a cup of tea.

Xiao Mu felt that if Hengyu wasn't there and his mother cared about her image, she wouldn't be able to keep half a cup of tea, and her words would not be so euphemistic.

Mrs. Xiao's anger disappeared, and she looked at the little girl sitting there again, with a smile on her face: "But having said that, Mr. Liu really impresses me! He is a man who expresses his feelings in public. I really should let those people in the family who are too old to marry a wife learn to learn..."

Xiao Mu's face remained unchanged.

This must not be talking about him.

Mrs. Xiao continued to sigh: "Now our family will have a happy event again!"

Heng Yu nodded with a smile: "Yes, Master Liu must come to discuss marriage proposal with Auntie soon."

So fast?
After Mrs. Xiao was surprised, she smiled happily and said, "That's how it should be! I'll invite Jiang's matchmaker to discuss the regulations later!"

It's time to practice in advance - looking at the two sitting at the bottom, Mrs. Xiao thought so.

On the way away from Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Mu casually asked Heng Yu: "Their marriage has been put on the agenda so quickly, but is there any consideration?"

Hengyu nodded.

"Lady Miao doesn't want to wait for her brother's funeral to pass, because it has the meaning of cutting off the past, and will no longer live for unworthy people."

"Of course, that's just one of them." She went on to say, "Second, such a move will definitely irritate Mother Miao—"

Regarding the truth, Mother Miao must be one of the most critical insiders.

When people are provoked, it is easier to find weaknesses and flaws.

Xiao Mu nodded: "In this way, Miao's shopkeeper Kefu's statement will be self-defeating, and the truth that was covered up in the past will inevitably have more breakthroughs."

Hengyu nodded.

After a pause, he suddenly couldn't help asking: "But... What if Kefu's statement is not broken?"

"?" Xiao Mu glanced at her.

After a while, he retracted his gaze, continued to walk forward, and said calmly, "Since it's your wish, I just burn some more paper for Mr. Liu."

Hengyu: "... also."

……

As soon as Heng Yu returned to the guest courtyard, he was hugged by Ji Ji who rushed forward.

"The girl is back!" The little girl was very happy.

Heng Yu straightened him up, pinched his cheeks: "Why do you look so thin?"

"Think of what the girl thinks..."

Heng Yu laughed and said, "Then after you get married, why don't you lose weight like a leaf?"

"The maid is still not married?" Jiji seriously hesitated again.

Cui Huai smiled and shook his head.

Xiaowei Meng is also quite frightened, a fiancée he managed to find with great difficulty, always thinking about going back on his word and running away.

"That's impossible, when the Meng family asks me for someone, where can I find such a good one to compensate them..." Heng Yu went into the inner room with a smile.

There was no one else around, and Jiji stopped talking and took out two letters and handed them to Hengyu: "Girl, this is a letter from the capital... just arrived yesterday."

Hengyu put on a straight face, sat down at the table, and opened the letter.

　good night!
