112. Promise to marry by deed
The housekeeper shrunk back, his face was gloomy and resolute, he raised his head and said: "Fengyang Sect has long been jealous of the government, and now it is ......."
I was suddenly stunned, leaning against the wall and staggering forward, the face in the coffin was already bruised, and I couldn't stop being afraid and fearful in my heart, and then I collapsed to the ground, and kept muttering: "It must not be true, my father is not dead, how can he die?"
He immediately crawled in front of me, grabbed my wrist, and said with a sad face: "Second Miss, remember, what I handed over to you before, you must not let others know!"
I just came back to my senses, staring at him incredulously, he had already said this a few times, and I couldn't guess what it meant.
He got up suddenly, walked to the door, turned around and looked at me, and said solemnly: "Now that you've seen it, go back, I have more important things to tell the second miss!"
Looking at each other without saying a word, I hesitated and didn't dare to get up, as if some master had come, looking at his back, I still trusted more in my heart, and I unconsciously slowly got up and followed.
When he returned to the Fengyang faction, he only left a cold sentence: "I'll come to the second miss later, and the second miss will go and rest first!"
As soon as I heard the door ring, I stood up and quickly opened it, and when I saw him holding something in his hand, I took it and he came in with him.
I hesitated and said, "What is this?"
He sighed slightly, calmly opened the box, and handed me the booklet inside.
I hesitated for a moment before taking it, and slowly opened it was the Xue family's title deed, and there was still my father's handwriting.
My hands trembled uncontrollably, the booklet was left on the ground, and I looked at the signature at the end with no dead heart, and I asked in astonishment, "What do you tell me?"
"So far, I don't want to hide it from the second miss, the head of the family means to let you marry Xue Gongzi, and use the Xue family's title deed as an appointment, and you also have a place in the Xue family." He then picked up the booklet and sorted it out carefully and put it in the box, looking calm and a little depressed.
I shook his arm desperately and asked, "What happened to make my father change so much?" Is there something unspeakable about my father? ”
He moved his eyes away, let me cry silently, and only said sadly: "Since I know that it is unspeakable, the second lady doesn't need to ask anymore."
"But I'm not reconciled, I want to know what the hell is going on? I'm going to die too! "I have nowhere to vent my pain, and at this moment I hate my ignorance and my incompetence, and I can only call out the truth I want over and over again.
"This is the last wish of the head of the house, the eldest lady has failed to fulfill her filial piety, and the second lady can't fulfill his only wish now?"
This sentence made me speechless, only standing in the same place, tears like rain, and only said for a long time: "I, I am just ......"
He patted me on the shoulder, his eyes were tired, and said: "I have been with the head of the family for many years, not relatives are better than relatives, I have long regarded the Fengyang faction as my home, you and the eldest lady are grown up by me, just like my own children, I will not harm you, let alone live up to the trust of the head of the family."
I looked at him with a sad face, unable to speak for a long time, only nodding vigorously.
"Now that the Fengyang faction is in turmoil, it has reached the point of survival, and the second young lady knows that the burden on her body is now only shouldered by you." He brushed his face, wiped a handful of tears, turned around and was about to go out, but paused slightly, and then said: "It is imperative that I go and arrange the aftermath of the head first, and then discuss it after the marriage of the second lady, okay?"
"Then, as long as I marry Xue Gongzi, will it be fine?" I'm still waiting for his answer.
He didn't look back, and said lightly: "Second Miss thinks for herself."
I squatted on the ground and folded my arms, I didn't understand the meaning of his words for a long time, could it be that the Fengyang Sect really reached the point where it needed the help of others to survive? Is it really the best solution for me to marry him?
