The old woman's movements froze, her mouth squirmed a few times, but in the end, she did not say a single word.
"Mother, if it wasn't for the Second Young Lady, I would have died long ago.”The young man anxiously grabbed the old woman's hand." Mother, the Second Young Lady has done us a favor. The debt that Father left behind was paid by Second Young Miss for us. She also left us to eat, live, and earn wages in the Yue family. She didn't let us sign a contract to sell ourselves. Mother, Second Young Miss has done you such a great favor, could it be that you have forgotten?”
The old woman wanted to explain, but she opened her mouth several times and swallowed her words. She stole a glance at the women of the Wang family and the Yue family standing at the entrance of the Yue family.
"Mother, if you are afraid of being implicated, you can sever your mother-son relationship.”The young man knelt down and cried bitterly. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety were in a dilemma. Today, he chose loyalty and could only be an unfilial son.
The old woman sighed deeply and patted the young man's head. She looked up at Yue Xiuzhen and said," Eldest Miss, do you really want to marry Second Miss to a living person?”
" Not a living person?" Yue Xiu 'er was confused." Do you have a suitable dead person?"”
The old woman seemed to have seen the light of dawn and immediately nodded." Yes, there was a child in our village who died of illness last year. He was only eighteen years old. Because his parents could not bear to send him to a mass grave, they sealed his coffin in the house where he lived before he died and did not bury him. It was just that her family was a little poor and was not worthy of Second Miss's status.”
"Heh, identity. Do we still have any status in the Yue family now?”Yue Xiuzhen was disappointed. She handed the silver bracelet in her hand to the boy." Child, it's hard for you to repay your kindness." I'll leave this silver bracelet to you. Please make a trip to that person's house for me to discuss it. They were getting married today. There was no need to prepare anything. Red candles and incense were enough. The most important thing was to have a cemetery to bury the young couple.”
"Ai, don't worry, young miss. I will definitely do it well.”The young man wiped his tears with his sleeve, kowtowed to his mother, and hurriedly ran east.
"Please forgive me, Eldest Miss." The old woman knelt down and kowtowed.
Yue Xiu Xin helped her up." Don't worry. If the Yue family can't tolerate you, you can follow me." If there is food for me, there will be food for you.”
"Thank you, Young Miss." The old woman thanked him, but she didn't take Yue Xiu Xin's words seriously. Who didn't know that the Yue family's eldest daughter married a poor scholar and still needed the Yue family's financial support? This time, Yue Xiu Xin offended the Yue family and even said that she would cut off her family ties. In the future, she could guarantee that her entire family would starve to death.
The old woman was a smart person, naturally she would not expose Yue Xiuzhen's background in public. However, she guessed that she could not stay in the Yue family anymore. After all, the Wang family and the daughters of the Wang family could not tolerate the mother and son.
With a trace of sorrow, the old woman somewhat regretted stepping out to be a good person.
Yue Xiu Xin saw this and didn't intend to say anything. She already had her own new idea. If this mother and son were loyal to her, she would treat them well.
………
Jasper Flower Pavilion.
Yue Xiuzhen walked back and forth more than a dozen times until sunset. The young man led a dozen strong men in a hurry.
"Young miss." The young man came in and led the strong men to kowtow to Yue Xiuyan.
Yue Xiuzhen was secretly delighted when she saw it. It seemed that the matter of giving Yue Xiuling a netherworld marriage was a success.
"Get up." Yue Xiuzhen raised her hand and got the ten or so strong men to stand up. She looked at the young man and asked," What did the in-laws say?”
"Replying to Eldest Young Miss, this lowly one took Eldest Young Miss 'silver bracelet to discuss the marriage. When the two elders of the Jiang Clan heard that it was the Yue Clan's Second Young Miss, they were originally afraid of the rich and powerful families and did not dare to seek marriage. Later, when they heard that Eldest Young Miss had personally proposed the marriage, they happily agreed.”As the young man spoke, he took out a jade bracelet and said,"This is the betrothal gift from the Nan family to the Second Young Lady.”
Yue Xiuzhen took it with both hands, turned around, walked to the coffin, and knelt down." Sister Ling 'er, although this marriage didn't ask for your opinion, at least it was arranged by the matchmaker and the parents' orders." This is the betrothal gift. When you are buried, I will personally put it on for you so that you can recognize him when you get there. If he was satisfied, then he would live a good life. If he was not satisfied…then he would train until he was satisfied. Men couldn't be spoiled. The more they were spoiled, the more jerky they became. Do you remember?"
After crying and laughing, Yue Xiuhao stood up and walked out of the house with the jade bracelet in her hands. She bowed deeply to the dozen or so strong men and said," Thank you, big brothers.”
"Young Miss is too polite." The brawny men cupped their fists.
Yue Xiuyan stepped out of the way and watched as the ten strong men took out thick hemp ropes and wooden sticks, covered the coffin with a red veil, and pressed a snack and a copper coin on it.
"Rise!"
The burly men shouted in unison, and the coffin covered with a red veil was lifted by them together.
"Sister Ling 'er, you're getting married!"
Yue Xiu looked up at the sky and shouted sadly.
"Ling 'er!" Yue Fen wailed as he watched his second daughter's coffin being carried away by eight strong men.
The Yue Clan Leader shook his head with endless sorrow when he saw this scene. He then looked at Yue Fen who was pretending to cry and sighed, gritting his teeth," Second Elder Wen, what should I say about you?" Sigh! Two good daughters were ruined by you guys just like that. Pathetic, pathetic.”
The old clan leader left, and so did the Yue clansmen.
Yue Fen stood at the gate and looked at the departing team. His heart suddenly felt empty.
"Old Master, here you go." Madam Wang personally brought over a basin of water." Splash it out. Only then will you be considered married to the Second Young Lady."”
Yue Fen took the basin of water and splashed it out.
