He looked at the plain white girl, looked at him pitifully with two teary eyes, and begged him to give up his family affairs, not because the Jiang family was destroyed and angry with him, nor because he was disgusted with him, but because he was afraid that he would think of the disaster of destroying the door and Chen Fei's accusations against them in the future.

Her appearance made the general who commanded the 100,000 naval army very distressed, hoping to protect her, take care of her, and let her be safe and smooth.

But she didn't want him to protect her.

She only begged him to give up his family affairs.

If it's really good for her, you have to give up your family.

Yan Zhen was embarrassed, he was reluctant to give up his family affairs, he couldn't help Jiang Rulan's pleading, and he couldn't think of a good way to have both, he refused to die, didn't repay hope, and asked weakly: "Girl, can you ...... Think again? Let's figure it out together...... I'm sure, I'm going to be good to the girl......"

Jiang Rulan's mouth was deflated, and tears seemed to fall as if it was raining heavily, "It's useless...... I have nightmares every day......"

Yan Zhen stood up, stretched out his hand at Jiang Rulan, and said indiscriminately: "Miss Jiang, don't be sad, I promise you ......"

Jiang Rulan hurriedly stopped crying and asked, "Did the general really promise to quit?" ”

Yan Zhen looked at her teary eyes and nodded fiercely: "Yes." ”

Jiang Rulan stepped forward with small steps, squatted down at him and thanked him: "General Xie is tolerant. The general cares, and the people are grateful. ”

Yan Zhen's heart was empty, and he said generously: "Girl, please get up quickly." Although you can't get married, if the girl has something to do, she can come to General Ben. General Ben and Mrs. Jiang are also old friends, and they should take care of the girl. ”

Jiang Rulan said goodbye, "General Xie is tolerant." ”

Yan Zhen and Yan Yue said: "The girl doesn't have to be polite. ”

Li Hanyao looked at these two people in astonishment, is this a retreat? How can it look like it has just gotten married! This Yan Zhen is very interesting, not angry at all, not embarrassed, not to say, obviously he has withdrawn from his family, and he wants Jiang Rulan to go to him if he has something to do in the future, promising to help her, leaving this glimmer of hope, waiting to renew the relationship.

Besides, Jiang Rulan - Li Hanyao looked at this cousin, and even shed a few tears to make Yan Zhen willingly withdraw from his family, and he didn't mind at all. Thanks to her planning all the way, she thought of several ways to deal with it, and finally decided to respond to all changes with the same, and then immediately responded, who knew that it would be useless.

Li Zhuohang and Jiang Yuzhen were also stunned, until they sent Yan Zhen away, they still felt unreal.

Back in the upper room, Jiang Yuzhen said, "Lan'er ......"

Li Zhuohang waved his hand at her, interrupted her words, and turned his face to look at Li Hanyao. Li Hanyao felt that his father's gaze seemed to have a deep meaning, as if something was wrong, so he waited for his instructions. Li Zhuohang said to her: "Everyone is tired these days, go back and rest early." I'll talk about that tomorrow. ”

Li Hanyao hurriedly said, "Yes, master." ”

Li Hanyao also meant this - it was easy for Jiang Rulan to be persuaded by herself, and she should take the opportunity to coax her to sleep, and wait for the funeral to talk about it tomorrow; She herself is tired these days, and she also needs to rest.

So, the sisters retired.

Back at Guanyue Tower, Li Hanyao didn't say much and ordered the meal to be set.

Hurriedly ate something, washed up, and slept with Jiang Rulan to prevent her from being afraid of loneliness at night, so as to comfort her.

Lying on the bed, seeing that Jiang Rulan had been silent, I didn't know what she thought, I was a little worried, so I leaned close to her ear and whispered: "My cousin handled the matter of retreating from her relatives very well." ”

Jiang Rulan looked at the top of the tent and thought, "Of course the means taught by my mother are good." ”

Li Hanyao comforted: "Sister Rulan, don't worry......"

Jiang Rulan said: "I'm fine." Sister Yao, don't worry about me. ”

Li Hanyao shut up.

She felt that her cousin was a little different.

But that's probably a good thing.

********

Let's talk about the Liu family's brothers and sisters.

After coming out of the yamen, Liu Jiaping had a party, and Liu Shiyu went home alone.

When I got out of the carriage at the door of the house, I saw a scholar named Lin Zhiqiu who lived next door, walking over, standing beside her, looking at her and smirking.

Liu Shiyu couldn't help frowning when he saw his cheeks flushed and a drunken image.

The ancestor of the Lin family is also a scholar, and the family is in the middle of the road, and there is only a widowed mother and himself left in the family, guarding the house of Sanjin to live.

Lin's mother used embroidery as a source of livelihood and raised Lin Zhiqiu to study. Over time, my eyes have been worn out. Lin Zhiqiu won the show last year, and he was at a critical juncture to gain fame, and he couldn't delay, but Lin's mother couldn't, so she rented out the back two of the house to people, collected some rent to supplement her life, and barely survived.

Liu Shiyu also bought an embroidery from Mother Lin by accident and appreciated it deeply, so she came to ask for advice and got acquainted with this neighbor.

It's just that Lin Zhiqiu ......

Don't say it!

She greeted "Lin Gongzi" lightly, and she didn't want to say more, she raised her feet and was about to enter the door, when she suddenly heard Lin Zhiqiu ask: "Have you gone to the yamen to see the court trial?" ”

Liu Shiyu said: "Not bad. ”

Lin Zhiqiu sighed: "Why bother to look, I'm not angry!" That dustless, hypocritical villain, betrayed the Li family regardless of his name......"

Liu Shiyu was angry, Huo Ran turned around and stared at him with burning eyes.

Lin Zhiqiu didn't know what she was going to do, so she was so frightened that she held back the rest of her words, and looked at her nervously, "Miss Liu......"

Liu Shiyu said politely: "No matter how bad Luo Zi'an is, he is better than Lin Gongzi!" ”

Lin Zhiqiu's already red face turned even redder, and he couldn't help but argue: "What does he have, worthy of the girl's praise for him?" It's just fascinated by color. This kind of person has no talent and no character. He betrayed the Li family, saying that it was to save Miss Li, and Miss Li might not be grateful to him. Girl, don't be fooled by him. ”

Liu Shiyu asked, "What qualifications do you have to accuse Luo Zi'an?" ”

Lin Zhiqiu's qi is weak: "In the next ......"

Liu Shiyu didn't go home anymore, and interrupted him: "You come with me!" ”

The maid Xi'er hurriedly grabbed Liu Shiyu and said in a low voice: "Why should the girl be like him, what if the master sees it?" ”

Liu Shiyu said: "It's okay. Just come back. ”

After that, he glanced at Lin Zhiqiu and walked towards the Lin family next door.

Xi'er couldn't, so she had to keep up.

When Lin Zhiqiu saw Liu Shiyu going to his house, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly chased after him, wanting to go home first, and greet his wife to entertain him.

Liu Shiyu stopped him and said, "Whisper." ”

Lin Zhiqiu slowed down suspiciously.

Several people entered Lin's house, came to the window of the main house, looked in through the window, and saw Lin's mother staring at the lamp to do needlework, and her eyes were narrowed into a slit.

Lin Zhiqiu's expression was a little sneering, and he complained to the old lady in his heart, "I told her not to do needlework, why are you still so tormented?" ”

He turned around and was about to go into the house, calling the old lady.

Liu Shiyu stopped him and motioned for him to go out.

He had no choice but to follow Liu Shiyu out.

Outside, Liu Shiyu sneered: "You must complain in your heart that the eldest lady doesn't listen to persuasion and spoils her eyes and body, right?" ”

Lin Zhiqiu said: "My mother is a little stubborn......

Liu Shiyu sneered: "Auntie is not stubborn, where did you get the money to invite people to eat and drink?" If you are not stubborn, how can you be a generous gentleman! ”

Lin Zhiqiu's eyes widened, "The girl accused her of being unfilial?" ”
