Chapter 168 Tang Yueer's Conflict
Chapter 168 Tang Yueer's Conflict
"Have you met her once?" Xia Mo glanced at the somewhat nervous woman a few more times, racked his brain again, and finally had some impression of her.
Isn't this the girl he met walking with Liu Baokun when he first went to the city with Brother Chuan? She has something to ask him? What is there for him to ask? At that time, he was scolding Liu Baokun to death.
Xia Mo was thinking lazily, and Tang Yueer saw the understanding in his eyes, and couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth and reveal a smile: "It seems that you remembered."
Xia Mo nodded, as if he had some impression of her. "What do you want from me?" Since they had met and she said she was not looking for trouble, it would be okay to listen to what she said.
Xia Mo was thinking like this, but Tang Yue'er seemed to be stumped by his question for a moment. Not only did she keep repeating "I, I, I", she also glanced at Ling Chuan timidly.
What does this mean? Xia Mo was speechless. So he just lifted the thing in his hand and said, "Girl, just say what you want to say. We have something else to do later. If he can't listen, forget it. After all, we can talk about anything."
Tang Yueer bit her lip when she heard that, then she rubbed her fingers together and said in one breath: "I've asked people, you are obviously Liu Baokun's brother, why did you lie last time?"
"You stopped us just to discuss this with me?" Xia Mo's eyes were slightly cold. If this is not looking for trouble, what is?
Ling Chuan's face suddenly turned cold, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his sharp eyes stared straight at Tang Yue'er.
Tang Yueer instantly shrank her neck and quickly denied: "No..."
She felt a little dizzy, but this was not her intention. She just didn't want to give up.
After all, Liu Baokun treated her really well, but the reality was a little disillusioning. At this moment, she happened to see the young husband who had warned her before, so she couldn't help but call him.
"Then what do you want to say?" Xia Mo blushed. "The country has its own laws, the family has its own rules, and the clan naturally has its own rules. I have long severed my relationship with that family. I am now a member of the Ling family, and there is a document to prove it. How can I be considered lying?"
Ling Chuan was very unhappy. He knew very well that his young man hated the Liu family, but this woman came to accuse his young man without any reason. It was simply despicable.
However, he suddenly heard the young man say that he was a member of the Ling family, so the corners of his mouth that had been suppressed could not help but rise up.
Tang Yue'er suddenly realized that the cold temperature around her suddenly warmed up. It was incredible.
While she was stunned, Ling Chuan said calmly: "Ze'er, let's go."
Although the young man's words made him very happy, he felt that there was no need to waste words on an irrelevant person.
Xia Mo thought the same way. There was really nothing to say to someone who came up and accused him of something wrong.
Seeing the two were about to leave, Tang Yueer quickly apologized: "Don't! Wait, that's not what I meant, sorry..."
Xia Mo paused and looked at her sideways.
"Actually... Liu Baokun also said that it was you who did the murder, and that because of you he had to take a leave of absence from school for a while. I, I'm not here to blame you... My father found a marriage for me, not with him, but he is really good to me. I'm very hesitant." Tang Yue'er stammered.
After listening to this, Xia Mo raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt that this girl was a bit amusing. She knew that he and Liu Baokun had a grudge, but she still came to ask him. Wasn't she just waiting to hear bad things about Liu Baokun?
"You are my relative, why ask him?" Xia Mo pretended not to understand, and Tang Yue'er started to "I" again without making any sense.
Xia Mo shook his head and chuckled, suddenly remembering that he still had a grudge with the Liu family. If this fair-skinned girl married into the family, it would be a troublesome matter for him.
Never mind, since the question has come to his head, there's nothing wrong with giving her some advice. It's better to do a good deed today.
So he turned his head and asked Ling Chuan with bright eyes: "Brother Ling, what do you think of the Liu family?"
Ling Chuan heard this and said indifferently as if he had received a signal: "The Liu family married a girl some time ago. I heard that she had already secretly married the current son-in-law of the Liu family, but the Liu family was picky and asked for a betrothal gift of eighty taels before agreeing to this marriage."
Xia Mo raised a wicked smile and agreed: "Yes, yes, these people sold their children just for Liu Baokun, a precious scholar. Oh no, there is still a little lucky star who has not been born yet."
Selling children? Secretly getting married? Eighty taels of silver as a betrothal gift? Tang Yueer's expression changed instantly. In fact, her father had also told her that even if Liu Baokun treated her well, she would not be able to stand up on her own...
Tang Yueer was very disappointed, her shoulders drooped, "Is this all true... He knew my father wanted to marry me to someone else, so he told me not to agree. He said he would ask his parents to come and propose marriage when he got home."
"Girl, although I don't quite understand why you want to talk to me about this, your father has walked more roads than you have eaten rice. How can a father not love his daughter?" Of course, except for Liu Dazhi, the fool.
"We won't comment on Liu Baokun or even the Liu family, but if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer." Xia Mo raised his eyelids and looked at her directly: "Perhaps, you already have the answer in your heart."
After Xia Mo finished speaking, without waiting for Tang Yue'er to react, he scratched Ling Chuan's palm and motioned him to leave.
Ling Chuan had wanted to leave a long time ago, so when the young man expressed his opinion, he shook the other's hand with his backhand, and didn't even bother to look at Tang Yue'er, who talked a lot of nonsense.
On the way, Xia Mo chatted with Ling Chuan about her and Liu Baokun.
"Brother Ling, from what she said, Liu Baokun seems to be going back to Liujia Village. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it will cost money to propose marriage. You think Old Lady Liu's money is not even warm yet, are you willing to spend it?"
Seeing the teasing in the young man's eyes, Ling Chuan curled his lips and said, "What difference does it make whether you are willing to give it up or not?"
"Haha, that's true." If the girl had made up her mind, she would not have stopped him and asked him questions.
Xia Mo smiled, put this little episode behind him, and walked towards Xie's house with Ling Chuan.
When Granny Dou saw that Xia Mo and Ling Chuan really came to visit them, she immediately smiled from ear to ear and pulled Xia Mo to be recognized by Grandpa Xie.
Obviously, Mr. Xie also had feelings for Liu Yun. His cloudy old eyes suddenly became moist when he saw Xia Mo's eyebrows and eyes that were somewhat similar to Liu Yun.
Unexpectedly, Xia Mo and Ling Chuan stayed at Xie's house for most of the day, so when they said goodbye to Grandma Dou and the others and went to the rice shop to buy wheat, it was already afternoon.
So when Xia Mo and Ling Chuan were about to get home, it was already late. The night swallowed up the faint light like a giant beast, and because it was early autumn, the evening breeze was a little chilly.
But why was there a fire in front of their house?
When the two men came closer, Xia Mo could see clearly that there were people holding torches. There were several people gathered in front of the door, including Liu Yong and his wife and Liu Zheng and the others.
Looking more closely, they saw that among them there were four men wearing yamen uniforms with big swords on their waists.
This is... an official!
