"Sister Baozhu, what do you have to say, you can say it now."

Mrs. Cen took Wang Baozhu and Yu Jin to the backyard wing, and thoughtfully waved away the people serving in the house, and only asked when only the three of them were left in the room.

"Good sister...... I'm here today to see off Brother Cen, and second...... I'm here to talk to you about the marriage between Xijun and my Jin'er. ”

Wang Baozhu pinched the handkerchief and pretended to be nervous, but his eyes were burning, and he didn't show any embarrassment.

Hearing this, Mrs. Cen's heart jumped, and she felt a little uneasy. These days, she has been sad about her husband's death, but she has forgotten Cen Xi's marriage. According to the rules, Cen Xijun is to keep filial piety for Master Cen for three years, and there shall be no marriage during these three years. Originally, Cen Xijun and Yu Jin were going to get married in the second half of this year, but now they are not married.

"Sister Baozhu, you also know the current situation in the Cen Mansion...... The marriage between the family and Jin'er cannot be held as scheduled, but you can rest assured, as long as the three-year filial piety period expires, I will definitely let the family marry Jin'er back in a beautiful ......, I know that this time the Cen Mansion can't live with Jin'er, but the family member is determined to be Jin'er, in the future Jin'er will enter the door, I will not let her suffer from the pickled leisure of the backyard, the family will only have a wife in Jin'er in this life, and the dowry of our Cen Mansion will be three times more than the original...... and I hope my sister and Jin'er will not blame ......"

Mrs. Cen didn't know that Wang Baozhu took Yu Jinlai to withdraw from the marriage, but she only thought that Cen Mansion made Yu Jinkong wait for three years, and Yu Mansion was dissatisfied. Therefore, he promised a lot, so that he could appease Wang Baozhu and Yu Jin, for fear of treating his future daughter-in-law slowly.

Yu Jin's heart trembled when he heard this, the hand hanging by his side was loose and tight, tight and loose, after all, he still blushed, and pulled Wang Baozhu's sleeve through the long sleeves to cover it, signaling her not to waver.

Yu Jin didn't know what it was like. Obviously, just a few days ago, she was still clamoring to marry Cen Xijun, but now she is afraid, Yu Jin keeps spitting on herself in her heart, but just now she was still afraid that her mother would change her mind temporarily, so she agreed to this marriage, and she couldn't help but reach out to stop her mother.

In Yu Jin's heart, Cen Xijun has always been a humble gentleman sought after by everyone, and a dazzling young man who will praise anyone who mentions it. Yu Jin was married to Cen Xi's family when she was young, and she has always been honored to stand by Cen Xi's side.

But until today, she saw Cen Xijun kneeling on the futon with her injured leg with her own eyes, sloppy and miserable, she was really afraid, this was not the Cen Xijun she loved, let alone the future husband she imagined!

She was originally reluctant to retreat, and now Cen Xijun has to keep filial piety for three years, he can wait, but Yu Jin can't wait. She is just waiting to get married, how can a woman's best years be so wasted!

Yu Jin compromised in the end, she had compromised as early as when her mother knelt down and begged her, and now when she saw it, she had polished her last bit of affection for Cen Ximian cleanly.

"Sister Cen, I know you feel sorry for Jin'er...... That being the case, sister, I beg you to feel sorry for her again and dissolve the marriage contract between the two children! ”

Wang Baozhu got the news of Master Cen's death two days ago, and she was even more determined to withdraw from the marriage, and now that she knows that her daughter has stopped thinking about it, she has no worries, and she speaks much more bluntly.

"What...... What the? ”

Mrs. Cen didn't react for a while, and subconsciously asked again.

"Good sister, Jin'er is old now, and she can't afford to wait...... What's more, Xijun has injured his leg now...... Jin'er is weak, and marrying him in the future will not only not be able to serve him, but will also be a drag, how can this make ......"

This was said so hurtfully, she just wrote the word disgust on her face, how could Mrs. Cen not hear that the mother and daughter were lame because they disliked her, and now they are rushing to withdraw from the marriage while the Cen family is gone!

"Wang Baozhu! You shut up! ”

Mrs. Cen was so angry that she slapped the case and scolded angrily.

"Mrs. Cen, why are you so angry? I have been kind enough to consult with you, but you have such an attitude...... I really didn't say it, our two families are also friends, I didn't want to tear my face with you, but you don't know how to lift ......."

Wang Baozhu leaned back in the chair, glanced at Mrs. Cen, who was full of anger, stroked her sleeves, and spoke lightly, without taking the past feelings in her eyes at all.

"Why say such high-sounding words? Our Cen family is an eventful time, and we can't tolerate your Yu family's golden daughter, even if this marriage contract is to be withdrawn, it is our Cen family to retreat! Otherwise, others will say that our Cen family is attached to such a prominent gateway of the Yu family! ”

Mrs. Cen had a pain in her chest, but she couldn't stand Wang Baozhu's words and ridiculed Cen Xijun and the Cen family, so she had to scold back.

Wang Baozhu listened to Mrs. Cen's words, her breath was suffocated, and she was a little uncomfortable. At that time, the Yu family was in decline, and the family background was far inferior to the Cen family, it was the Yu family who tried every means to make friends with the Cen family, which led to the marriage contract between Yu Jin and Cen Xiyi.

Now when Mrs. Cen said this, she was simply slapped in the face. Wang Baozhu was very troubled, but he suddenly thought of one thing, and opened his mouth with a smile.

"Good sister, I know that Xihuan is infatuated with my family Jin'er, otherwise she wouldn't have sacrificed her life to save her, and she hurt her leg...... We will remember this kindness in our hearts, but we won't repay it with Jin'er......"

Wang Baozhu's fox-like eyes stared at Mrs. Cen, and the words spit out from her red lips pierced into people's hearts.

"What do you say? Dependents ......"

Mrs. Cen's ears were buzzing, and she no longer looked at Wang Baozhu with a malicious face, but turned her eyes to look at Yu Jin standing next to Wang Baozhu, and saw that the other party lowered her head in fear, and knew that what Wang Baozhu said was true.

When Mrs. Cen thought that her son had sacrificed his life to save such a ruthless and unrighteous woman, she only felt that her heart was like a knife, her blood was surging, and she fainted directly in front of her.

"Mother!"

Before Wang Baozhu could react, he saw Cen Xi, who was dressed in filial piety, suddenly push open the door, stumbling over with a pestle, and was able to support Mrs. Cen, who almost fell to the ground.

The maid who came in with Cen Xi's family hurriedly took the fainting lady, and helped her to the backyard to ask the doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment according to Cen Xi's instructions.

"Xijun...... I didn't mean to ......"

Wang Baozhu just wanted to be angry with Mrs. Cen, but she didn't expect that she didn't know the reason, and she fainted suddenly. Wang Baozhu looked at the man with a cane in front of him, his eyes were red, and his expression was gloomy, and he was stunned in his heart, and he subconsciously wanted to explain.

"Xiaojin, let me ask you, do you really want to divorce me?"

Cen Xijun was originally in the main hall to keep a watch, but not long after Mrs. Cen left, a mother-in-law came over and said that she heard inside outside, Mrs. was arguing with Mrs. Yu, Cen Xijun was worried about his mother's body and hurried over, but he didn't expect to hear the news that the Yu family was going to withdraw from his family, he didn't know how to react, but the next second he heard Wang Baozhu's heartfelt words.

He settled his mother well, and no longer paid attention to Wang Baozhu, but looked at Yu Jin alone, wanting an answer. He doesn't care about others, as long as Yu Jin is willing to marry him, he can eliminate all difficulties for her and protect her for the rest of her life.

Cen Xi's eyes were as gentle and firm as ever, staring at Yu Jinshuiling's eyes and asking this sentence.

"I ...... Brother Xi, I'm sorry...... I'm scared ......."

Yu Jin raised her head when she heard the sound, the man in front of her had a heavy blue-black under his eyes, his cheeks were sunken, his lips were pale, and the blood oozing from his right leg pierced her heart. With a twitch of his lips, Cen Ximi's last illusion was shattered.

If anyone in the world knows Yu Jin best, it must be Cen Xijun. Although the girl's words were reversed and nothing was clear, Cen Xijun knew what she meant—she was afraid. She was afraid that her future husband would be a cripple, and she was even more afraid that she would lose her years after three years.

This is all human nature, this can be any woman's rejection of a man's words, but this cannot be the only reason why Yu Jin rejected Cen Xijun.

"As you wish."

Now that Cen Xijun has the answer, he is not ready to entangle. After saying this, he asked Ah Yan to go to his room to take the token sent by the Yu family back then, and handed it back to Yu Jin with his own hands.

"Brother Xi...... Master Cen, take care! ”

Yu Jin took the jade pendant with the Tilian pattern, only felt that his heart was sour, and he couldn't stay any longer, so he hurriedly said a word of cherishment and ran out with his face covered. Seeing this, Wang Baozhu put the Cen family's token on the table and hurriedly chased it out.

Cen Xijun was silent for a long time, and opened the sandalwood box on the table, which contained a pair of jade bracelets with excellent water color. This pair of bracelets was Mrs. Cen's dowry, and later gave them to the Yu family as a token.

Closing the box with a click, Cen Xi's heart was sour, he stumbled, and suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Young Master!"

Ah Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Cen Ximi.

"Go to the main hall, I'm fine...... Is there something going on over there, Madame? ”

Cen Xijun wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and asked Mrs. Cen about her condition.

Dr. Zou said that Mrs. was in a hurry, and she suddenly fainted because she was overthinking. There is no worry about life, so I have to take care of it, and I must not be agitated and worry too much. ”

Ah Yan replied honestly.

"Hmm...... After today, the Cen Mansion will be closed to visitors, if there is any urgency, just inform me, and don't bother Madame anymore. ”

Cen Xi's eyes were faint, and after giving the order, Ah Yan went to the main hall by himself.

Mass grave in the west of the city

It rained heavily yesterday night and didn't stop until this morning. The grass and trees in the forest were washed away by the rain, and the green was very fresh. It's just that there is a mass grave in the middle of the whole forest, so the smell is not good. The smell of earthy smell mixed with the rotting stench of corpses made people almost sick.

"Uh......"

Suddenly, a weak murmur suddenly appeared in the silent forest, and the back of the straight teacher was cold.

Following the prestige, I saw something in the big pit shrugging one by one, chrysalis in the stump and broken leg.

Suddenly, a white hand stretched out from the tattered sack soaked in blood, and the bruises on the delicate wrist were intertwined, like a new ghost who had been abused and died. Immediately after that, another head came out of the bag, and only the top of the black hair could be seen, and slowly the face of the 'ghost' was revealed, not the terrifying appearance of the imaginary skin and flesh turned out, and the eyes and tongue protruded, but a delicate and delicate girl's face, only half of the face was red and swollen, and the finger prints were clearly visible.

This person is the half branch that was thrown here by the Wang family and his wife last night.

When Banzhi opened his eyes, he found himself trapped in a sack, and at first he thought that his father had sold him, and struggled out in a panic, but found himself lying in a pile of dead people, with his palms still propped up on the body of most of the decomposing corpse.

She was so frightened that her eyes widened, but she gritted her teeth and didn't scream, and after a while, she laughed stupidly. Banzhi should be glad in her heart, after all, she was not sold, right? Now that she's dead, it means she's in complete control over her life!

Thinking like this, Banzhi laughed, laughing heartily, laughing so much that tears flowed.

After a little slowdown, Banzhi moved his body and tried to crawl out of the pit. As soon as he raised his arm, Banzhi broke out in a cold sweat and quickly relaxed.

Only then did Banzhi know that her father had made such a heavy hand that he refused to stop even after she fainted, so it was no wonder that he could break her breath and hurriedly throw her here. If it weren't for the fact that she could recover from her life, I'm afraid she would really have to rot here!

When Banzhi thought of this, his heart turned over with monstrous hatred. After a while, she endured the sharp pain in her body and crawled out, she didn't know if the Wang family would come here to investigate again, for the sake of insurance, she had to leave here early. Compared with this pain, returning to the Wang family is better than death.

The next day

Today is the day of the funeral of Master Cen, the long funeral procession set off from Cen Mansion, all the way paper money flying, white flags fluttering, mourning and sorrow. Cen Xijun walked in front of the coffin with a pestle in mourning clothes, followed by Mrs. Cen holding the coffin, and followed Du Meng on the other side. Cen Xijun guarded Master Cen all day yesterday, from yesterday morning to this morning, he had not healed his leg injury, and he had been kneeling, and now he felt that his knee hurt when he took a step, and there was blood oozing out of the wound on his right leg.

His expression has not changed, he is still solemn and cold, but the cold sweat on his forehead almost penetrates the filial piety belt. This way went straight to the outskirts of the city before stopping.

The ancestral grave of the Cen family is here, and it is natural that Cen will be buried here after his father's death.

Cen Xi's family and Cen mother's mother watched Cen father's coffin buried, Cen Xi's family even covered the soil with his own hands, and set up a monument for Cen Xi's father, and the inscription on it was also written by Cen Xi's family and then carved by someone.

After doing all this, Cen Xiyi knelt down in front of the tomb, and Mrs. Cen also knelt beside her and wept silently.

"Please rest assured that the father will protect his mother and the Cen family!"

Cen Xi looked at the cold grave and was silent, but in his heart, he still made a promise as if he had talked to his father in the past, and solemnly kowtowed three times, and then helped Mrs. Cen up and prepared to go home.

"Mother, you take a sedan chair back home, it's a long way, you can't be strong."

Cen Mansion is far from the outskirts of the city. Mrs. Cen's body has lost a lot, and she has suffered a lot of things in the past few days, and her health is getting worse and worse, Cen Xi's family can allow her to help her father on the last journey, but she can't let her walk all the way back to Cen Mansion. So I arranged a sedan chair to follow the team early, and sent Mrs. Cen back to the house afterwards.
