Chapter 20: Mother Mulberry's Greedy Heart Was Robbed
Hearing Si Wuchen's words, Hong De said," To be honest, the love I gave you, I can't give it to a second person for the time being. Since she had met someone she loved but couldn't have, she could only accept that she couldn't have in her life. I say I don't care, but you're really important to me.
Si Wuchen said," Actually, there are many good women in this world. Why do you have to do this?"
Hong De said,"The people I've met may be better than you, but the degree of love I have is not as good as yours." You're the perfect surprise that jumped out of my expectations. I wish I could pick all the stars in the sky for you. I do like you. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that I lack the persistence to be together. When you love someone, even if you can't get her, you still want her to live well.
"You have your city, and I have my island. I hope we won't disturb each other from now on.”After Si Wuchen finished speaking, he left.
Looking at Si Wuchen's back, Hong De said," Look at your eyes full of beauty, but not as brilliant as mountain flowers. You laugh in the midst of the crowd, and your laughter is sweet and intoxicating. Your color is as delicate as a flower, like the fragrance of flowers, making people infatuated. How can I not miss you? I only have you in my heart and eyes. The sun and moon are you, the stars are you, the mountains and rivers are you, everything is you. Ever since I met you, my entire world is filled with you. Without you by my side, the world paled in comparison. It can be seen how important you are in my heart? Did you know? You don't know.
Zi Buyu ran to Hong De and asked," Prince, what's wrong? as if
Honder said,"It's nothing. Let's go back!"
Zi Buyu asked,"That package?"
Honder said,"It was meant for her anyway." Sigh! I can't ask for more, but my heart always loves. This may be my heart at this moment.
Seeing that Hong De was in a bad mood, Zi Buyu did not dare to say much and followed behind him silently.
Hong De suddenly said,"It's just a pity that I don't know when my sister Wu Chen will get married." I still want to see her beautifully put on the wedding dress I gave her and see her get married beautifully.
Zi Buyu said,"I know this." When I went in to pick the firewood, I was more cautious and asked her parents. Her parents have already informed me of the date of her wedding, and they especially hope that we can attend their daughter's wedding. He even said that having people of our status attending his daughter's wedding was something they couldn't wait for. It would also give them a lot of face.
Hong De asked anxiously,"What date is that?" Tell me quickly.
Zi Buyu said,"Yes."
Si Wuchen saw the package when he got home. Knowing that it was Hong De's, he took the package and wanted to chase after him.
Seeing this, Mother Sang asked,"Qiao Lian, what are you doing?"
Si Wuchen said,"Give it back to him."
Mrs. Sang quickly stopped her and said," Girl, you're too much. This is his kind intention. Why don't you accept it?" Why should I let him down? Besides, this silver is enough for your wedding. Which girl didn't want to get married in a grand way? This will not only give you face, but also give us face as parents. Tomorrow, when we arrive at your in-laws 'house, we will also be able to straighten our backs. Isn't your mother-in-law very greedy? Then let's show them. We're not a poor family.
Si Wuchen said," I don't care what others say. I can't just accept things from others? How am I supposed to repay this favor? He had already owed her a favor last time, so he couldn't return it.
Hearing this, Mother Sang said,"Maybe he doesn't want you." Look at this young master's attire. His clothes are gorgeous. He must have a powerful background. His family definitely doesn't lack these. If he cared, why would he be so extravagant? He couldn't take it out either. These silver taels are life-saving for my family. However, to his family, it might be a drop in the ocean.
Si Wuchen said, I don't want to owe anyone a favor.
Mrs. Sang said,"I can't wait!" You're stupid. You're still high! Where was he?
Si Wuchen couldn't see Hong De, so he sighed and said," What should I do?
Mrs. Sang took the package from Si Wuchen's hand and said," What should I do? It would be a waste not to take it. These rich people might not get everything clean. Do you know if they exploit the common people?
Hearing that, Si Wuchen looked at his foster father, asking," Father, what do you think we should do? Mother insisted.
Father Sang saw the meaning in his daughter's eyes and said, I'll accept it temporarily! Just treat it as picking up a package. In any case, he was willing. It would be good if he could return it in the future. If he could not, he would just treat it as owing. In this world, there was no one who could do it wholeheartedly. Even if it was a human heart, there were still bad thoughts. How many of them were kind?
Hearing this, Mrs. Sang scolded,"Old man, what are you talking about?"
"I didn't say anything," explained Father Sang.
Mother Sang said,"It's good that you didn't say anything." Humph! If I hadn't been holding you back at home, would I have seen you getting high? A woman, a woman, how can you start a family without a woman? If I didn't clean up the mess, would you still be able to live? Don't have me, unknowingly.
Father Sang said," Alright, alright. I don't want to live without you, okay?"
Mother Sang snorted and went in.
Father Sang said to his daughter,"It's your blessing to meet this noble son." It's not that your mother is greedy, but this family really needs these things.
Si Wuchen didn't say anything, but asked," Father, where are An Zhi and Ruo Su?
Father Sang said,"They went out early to earn money."
Si Wuchen asked," They're so young and not even as tall as a carrying pole. How did they earn money?"
Father Sang said," An old woman died in a big family in the front village. They don't have any daughters and lack people who can cry." The aunt in your house received this job and said that she saw your younger brother and sister starving and pitiful at home, so she called them to fill in the numbers. An Zhi and Ruo Su heard that crying can manage food. If he could still earn money, he would help out with the funeral.
Hearing that, Si Wuchen didn't say anything and went back to his room.
At this moment, Mrs. Sang came to Si Wuchen, holding the new wedding dress that Hong De had made for him. She said," Qiao Lian, look at this wedding dress, how beautiful is it? The fabric was made of silk. My daughter will wear it on her wedding tomorrow. She will be so beautiful that everyone on the streets will be envious.
Hearing that, Si Wuchen said,"You want me to wear a wedding dress made by another man?" If this got out, it wouldn't sound good! If my husband's family knew about this, how would they view me?
Mother Sang said,"If we don't say it, who will know?" Besides, he had good intentions.
However, Si Wuchen said,"There's no such thing as an airtight wall."
Mother Sang said,"What's the big deal?" In the past, when I married your father, I couldn't even borrow clothes to wear. Also, your little aunt, Si Zengyu, got married. I heard that she borrowed the furniture from her husband's house. Didn't she borrow the new clothes for her and her husband's wedding?
Hearing that, Si Wuchen said," Mother, you're really something. You don't eat much, but you manage a lot of things." Don't say these words in the future.
Mother Sang asked,"Why?" This was the truth. If he did it, why would he be afraid of others saying it?
" Mother," said Si Wuchen," I told you not to say it, so you don't say it."
Mother Sang said,"I must say it." That old lady is so evil. She didn't even bring me to see my daughter and even quarreled with me. She actually talked nonsense and asked you for her family's money? At that time, I was so embarrassed by her that I wanted to hide in a hole in the ground. That old lady didn't treat you well. You suffered a lot from her plague. Why are you still protecting her now?
Si Wuchen said," Well, that's all in the past." Besides, my mother-in-law is very good to me now, unlike before.
Mother Sang raised her hand and said," Oh! It wasn't like before? She was about to die. Did she know who was good or bad?
Si Wuchen said," Mother, I've already let it go. Why can't you?"
Father Sang also came over and said," Qiao Lian's mother, you too. Qiao Lian has already let it go. What else do you have to say?" Besides, who didn't have a past?
Mother Sang said,"I'm talking to my daughter. What does it have to do with you?" Go to the side.
Hearing this, Father Sang shut his mouth and sat down.
Mrs. Sang then turned to Si Wuchen and said," And her daughter and the one from the second branch, they are working together to bully you."
Si Wuchen said, No!
Mother Sang said,"Don't think I don't know just because you don't say it." Can't I ask around? The villagers have already said it. The old lady had always been stubborn, but who did she marry her daughter to? People couldn't be forced by others, they couldn't be forced.
Si Wuchen said," Mother, don't say anymore."
Mrs. Sang said,"I knew it. That old lady of yours
Si Wuchen said," My old lady is also a strong-willed person. Since she got married, she rarely came back and never brought her man back. She had a bad life and had a son who died young. She was already very hurt. Why should a woman make things difficult for a woman? I had suffered a lot in the past, but it was all resolved in the end. He put it down. Mother, if you say it again, I will never come back once I leave the house.
Hearing this, Mother Sang fell silent.
Father Sang came over and tugged at his wife's clothes. Look at what you're saying about your daughter. What are you still doing here? Let's go. Your daughter needs to rest, and you're making things difficult for her.
Mother Sang said,"I'm doing this for her own good."
Father Sang said," I know you're doing this for her own good, but not like this." Qiao Lian was really annoying. Let her be quiet.
"Right, Qiao Lian, don't worry about your silver. Half of it will be for your wedding, and the other half will be for your siblings in the future.”Mrs. Sang said as she was dragged away.
Si Wuchen finally calmed down. Looking at the red wedding dress, he stroked it with his jade-like hand and said," Who doesn't want to get married beautifully? This wedding dress was really beautiful. Young Master Hong De, when can I repay your kindness? I'm afraid I can't do it in this life. I'll repay you even if I have to be a cow or a horse in the next life.
Hong De returned to the Crown Prince's residence and called for the singing girls to dance for him to see. He was still drowning his sorrows in wine.
Zi Buyu came over and said,"Your Highness, don't drink anymore. You'll be drunk if you drink any more."
Honder reeked of alcohol and said,"It's good to be drunk!" Only when you're drunk do you know who you love the most, and only then do you know that I love wine the most. Hehehe! Come, sit down and drink with me!
Zi Buyu said," Alright, wine is not a good thing. It will hurt your body if you get drunk."
But Honder said,"Who says wine isn't good?" How would it hurt his body? How would you know if you don't drink it? When you're drunk, you don't know anything. You forget all your troubles and pains. Isn't that good? Wasn't it a good thing that he didn't have to worry and suffer? Wasn't it good to be drunk and not think about things? It's good to be drunk. You can't think about anything. Your mind is blank. How can a person who doesn't drink get the pleasure of falling asleep? Come, come, bring the wine cup. I want to 'play' with Buyu and see who drinks first.
Zi Buyu was silent.
The maid quickly served the cups and chopsticks.
"Sit down and drink," said Honder.
Zi Buyu sat down but looked at the chopsticks and cups that were served. He said awkwardly," I think it's better not to drink.
"Yes." As Honder spoke, he filled the glass with wine.
"Your Highness, let me do it!”Zi Buyu didn't dare to ask Hong De to fill his cup with wine, so he took the wine pot and added more wine.
Hong De said,"After that, you'll be punished with three bottles first."
Zi Buyu had no choice but to drink three cups first.
Seeing that Zi Buyu had finished three bottles, Hong De said," Did these three bottles of wine hurt your body?
Zi Buyu did not speak.
"If you don't say it, it means that you didn't hurt your body." Drink three more bottles for your wrong words.
Zi Buyu said helplessly,
Honder said,"What's this?" You said the wrong thing, aren't you going to be punished? Look, it's still wine? Or a board? You choose.
Zi Buyu had no choice but to drink three more bottles.
Hong De raised his cup and drank it in one gulp. He put down the cup and asked, Did this wine hurt your heart?
Zi Buyu filled Hong De's empty cup with wine and said," No, he didn't.
Hearing this, Hong De said,"Three more bottles as punishment."
Zi Buyu quickly argued,"I didn't say anything sad about drinking. Why should Your Highness punish me?"
Honder said,"Isn't being sad and hurting your body the same thing?"
Zi Buyu said, This
Honder said,"What's this again?" If you don't drink it, you can choose one of the two just now.
Zi Buyu had no choice but to drink three more cups and said," This is good, right?
Honder said,"Alright, I was joking with you just now."
Zi Buyu said,"Your Highness, are you done drinking your wine?"!
"No, I just want to drink. It's better if I'm drunk," said Honder.
Zi Buyu said,"You did it for Si Wuchen."
"Why aren't you saying anything?" asked Honder. For her? So what if it wasn't for her?
Zi Buyu said,"Sometimes persistence is a burden, and letting go is a relief." Moreover, there were many beautiful women in this world, and she was not the only one. I can see that there are many beauties in the prince's manor.
Hong De said,"Sometimes, when you like a person, it's not because she's good-looking or not. It might be because of the feeling that others can't give you." I can't tell what's so good about her, but I can't replace her.
Confucius said without saying a word: Every time I go ahead with fate, who do I tell? So what if she had a good past?
Honder asked,"What is the reason for the hundred knots in the intestines?" I miss my feelings like a long stream of water. It's hard to get together when I'm drunk. The sad clouds are not clear and the silk is sad.
Zi Buyu said: There are thousands of people in this world who are crazy about love and crazy about love. It was easy to enter a dream, but difficult to wake up. What did he get in return? How can you make a double? But the wind of sorrow blows, and the heart is empty, leaving only sorrow, and the heart is broken.
Hong De said,"A little moon peeks at a beauty, and a spring sorrow waits for wine to pour." Love does not allow life to be in two places, let the deep feelings in the pot dream.
Zi Buyu said,"This love really hurts."
At this moment, Honder said to himself," I remember the first time we met, your every frown and smile was in my heart, and I was sure that you were the only one I was looking for. When we first met, we didn't understand each other, but you could see that everything about you was beautiful in my eyes.
When Si Zeng saw the bridal sedan to marry Si Wuchen, he blew the trumpet and the bridal sedan was on the way.
Si Wuchen's adoptive parents were busy. Hong De had arrived early with his son Buyu. Si Wuchen was also very happy because of Hong De's arrival.
Si Wuchen was busy trying on the wedding dress while looking at each other in the mirror. His adoptive parents were happily walking around to welcome their relatives and friends to serve them tea. His sister-in-law, Sang Anzhi and Sang Ruosu, were running around to see if the wedding procession had arrived.
Si Zeng saw the bridal sedan enter the Sang family's door, and the trumpeteer was blowing passionately.
Amid the laughter, Sang Anzhi carried his sister Si Wuchen, who was standing in the sieve, out of the door and into the sedan chair.
When Hong De saw Si Zengjian, he smiled and said," Brother Zengjian, I'm speaking to you as a member of Sister Wu Chen's family. If you treat my Sister Wu Chen badly in the future, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Si Zeng wasn't angry when he heard that, but he said happily," Would I treat my wife badly? I can't love you enough!
Hearing this, Honder said, I hope so.
The sedan rose and headed in the direction of the Si Clan.
Hong De watched Si Zeng Jian's bridal sedan chair leave after marrying Si Wuchen, feeling a little disappointed. He even said," Sister Wu Chen, I didn't want to miss you in this life, but I still missed you. I wonder if I can meet such a beautiful you in my next life?
On the way, Zeng Ji looked at Si Zeng Jian's sedan and said to the guard," I wonder which family's beautiful lady married this good man? This man is weak, handsome and talented, but he is still a romantic figure.
Yu Jin said: In this world, there are not many people who are satisfied. It was either a good man marrying an ugly woman, or a good woman marrying a bad man. There would always be a line of unhappy people, and most of them would forget their past.
Zeng asked several times: What do you mean?
Yu Jin said,"Many people don't really get love. Their love is controlled by family and money. They are all defeated by reality."
Zeng several said: No way?
Yu Jin said,"As a rich family, how can the prince know the sufferings of ordinary people and the poor?" The one who is not satisfied is like a beauty who does not come to empty heartbreak, adding sorrow to accompany guests. It was also like asking spring to go from now on, thousands of flowers have not yet blossomed, and I don't know how much spring is in front of me.
Zeng several listened to smile and said: It seems that you still know a lot.
Yu Jin said: Human nature, everyone understands, but it is difficult to do. Since ancient times, no one had ever comprehended the emotions completely. They were confused and even committed crimes knowingly in the bewitching array.
Suddenly, a few men in black flew out and lunged at the bridal sedan with their sabers.
The people in the bridal procession were all ordinary people. When had they ever seen such an imposing manner? When they saw these people raise their knives, they were so scared that they put down the sedan chair and fled in all directions.
When Si Zeng saw this, he was so scared that he fell off his horse and couldn't move.
Those men in black raised their sabers and pounced over. They didn't hurt anyone or rob anything. Instead, they pounced on the sedan chair, dragged the bride out, and carried Si Wuchen away.
Si Wuchen struggled and refused to go, saying," Who are you? How dare you snatch someone in broad daylight? Is there any law?
The man in black said,"We are the law." Please come with us. We won't hurt you.
Si Wuchen said,"Why should I go with you?" I don't know you. Who are you?
The man in black carried Si Wuchen and said while walking," Cut the crap. Anyway, you won't suffer if you follow us.
" Let me go," said Si Wuchen." I won't go with you."
The man in black who was carrying Si Wuchen said while walking," Follow us obediently. Little beauty, if not, once the knife was wiped, it would be covered in blood. Once the blood dried, rotten flesh would be born. No one would like a skeleton beauty.
Si Zengjian also chased after her and said,"Let go of my wife." Who are you? Why did you snatch my wife?
The man in black who had brought up the rear held his saber horizontally in front of Si Zeng Jian and said," You better behave yourself, this Blood Licker Blade will take your life. Go back quickly, or else the knife in my hand won't recognize anyone, only the dead. Let's see if your neck is harder or the blade in my hand is stronger.
Si Zeng didn't dare to step forward when he saw these ruthless people. He could only watch Si Wuchen being moved away.
Hong De was also in the bridal procession. When he saw the assassins in black, he flew forward and scolded, Who dared to snatch a bride in broad daylight? Quickly put down the bride, or be careful of your life.
The man in black who was holding Si Wuchen sneered and said," Who are you? Don't you know who we are? How dare you try to make a move on me? I think you're tired of living. Go to the side. If you block my way again, I won't be polite.
When Honder saw that the other party was not on the way, he tilted his head and said to Zi Buyu," Go!
Hearing that, Zi Buyu drew out the flexible sword from his belt and thrust it at the man in black who was holding Si Wuchen.
Hong De didn't bring any weapons with him, so he wanted to save Si Wuchen with his bare hands.
The man in black holding Si Wuchen had a machete in his hand, and he was quite skillful. Seeing that Hong De was trying to gain something for nothing, he immediately swung his saber at him.
After all, Honder did not have a weapon in his hand. Seeing the saber floating over with a whirlwind, he naturally avoided it and fought with it.
When the other men in black saw that there were people who were not afraid of death, they surrounded them.
After all, the men in black had the advantage in numbers. No matter how powerful Hong De and Zi Buyu were, they couldn't save Si Wuchen. They were trapped in the circle of the men in black and watched Si Wuchen being moved away.
Now, when he saw that someone was snatching the bride and that there were many men in black, he urged her several times and said, Prince, let's go quickly! Mind your own business. This world is chaotic, and this kind of thing is not uncommon. We can't care about this much. It's better to leave this place of trouble quickly.
Zeng saw a few people snatching the bride, but when he heard the guard's words, he didn't want to care, so he followed the guard.
Hong De and Zi Buyu were ultimately outnumbered and lost Si Wuchen.
If Honder had a weapon, he would still be able to match his opponent. After all, Hong De relied on physical combat and could not spread his strength. Zi Buyu was alone and weak, and his strength was not entirely up to his heart. The black-robed man's side naturally had a thousand peaks against the deep and overwhelming style.
Si Wuchen was kidnapped. He cried miserably and shouted," Let me go, let me go. Where are you taking me?
A man in black said with a smile, Don't you know where I'm taking you? Naturally, I'll bring you to a fun place.
Si Wuchen asked," What fun place?" I don't know you guys.
Another man in black smiled and said, Naturally, you don't know us. But we all know you! Everyone within a radius of dozens of miles knew that there was Beauty Si in this ravine. Who wouldn't drool over her?
Hearing that, Si Wuchen asked,"Who is your master?"
A man in black said,"Anyway, you won't suffer a loss if you go. You'll enjoy endless glory and wealth."
Si Wuchen said,"Glory is just a passing breeze. Who cares?" If you want, just send your sisters over. Why make things difficult for me?
Another man in black said,"This little beauty is still stubborn." Who asked you to be too beautiful? If we give you up, we will each get ten taels of silver. Who wouldn't want such a good thing? If he didn't think about it, he would be a fool.
Another man in black said,"I'll tell you the truth!" Actually, we've been paying attention to you for a long time. The reason why I didn't bother you was because I wanted to get a good price for you. Who knew that you were going to get married? How could we let go of a beauty like you so easily?
Hearing that, Si Wuchen cursed," Bah! " You shameless bandits, you're heartless. There won't be a good ending for you.
A man in black said,"Little beauty, don't scold us." When you're well-fed and enjoying wealth, you might even thank us for not coming!
While the man in black who was holding him was not paying attention, Si Wuchen broke free, ran to the edge of the cliff and said," If you force me again, I'll die for you to see.
Zeng Ji already had the idea of not meddling in other people's business. Suddenly, he heard the chaotic battle array and the sound of a woman seeking death, so he looked over again. The ones who were in chaos were the men in black. Seeing the woman who wanted to die, he said in his heart,"This woman looks so familiar. Isn't she the beauty I can't find?”Surprised, he said,"Look, that's the beauty I can't find."
When Yu Jin heard this, he asked,"Are you sure?"
Zeng said ecstatically: Yes.
Looking at the woman again, he couldn't help but say," What a beauty. She was indeed a national beauty.
"Hurry up and save her." Zeng Jiji said and flew over with his guards.
