Chapter 28 Mountain of Knives
Xiao Jingyan was so guilty that she couldn't hold her head up at all. Qinghe was also killed by the eyes of the people. He wanted to retort a few words, but he was worried that Yue Ya would send Xiao Jingyan to the regent.
When something happens, you can only endure it.
Xiao Jingshen was overjoyed and admired his sister-in-law a lot. She was such a traditional person and she was able to break away from tradition and stand up to protect her own rights. He was very happy. Even if the Xiao family became the laughing stock of the capital from now on, it didn't matter.
While the people were reprimanding Xiao Jingyan and Qinghe, Yue Ya handed the husband's divorce book to the official mediator, then took off his shoes and lifted up his skirt and walked towards Daoshan.
In the carriage not far away, Mrs. Xiao's eyes turned red and she felt ashamed. She lamented: "Fortunately, Yue Ya didn't tell anyone about that, otherwise we might have been kicked out of the General's Mansion."
Aunt Jin: "It seems that the young lady still cares about your face and doesn't want to make things embarrassing."
"Hey! This girl is in trouble."
"Then old madam, the young madam has started to go up the mountain of swords. Why don't you go and persuade her?"
"Of course, give me the water."
The old lady poured the medicine and swallowed it along with the water that Grandma Jin handed her, and then got off the carriage tremblingly with her help.
The breeze blew by, and the pebbles covered with sparks were emitting sparks in the breeze. Not far away, Yue Ya held his head high and his chest was full of pride.
Lifting up the hem of her skirt, she walked towards the mountain of swords.
Feng Xuche, who was on the second floor, took a breath. He originally came to watch a show, but when he saw the scene where she was about to step into the mountain of knives, she clenched her teacup and frowned.
There was a feeling of pity.
Jinse saw something was wrong with him and said teasingly: "What? Do you feel sorry for this beauty to use this instrument of torture?"
Feng Xuche raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Do you think I, Feng Xuche, will feel sorry for these unimportant women?"
He blocked his mouth with one sentence, and he shrugged and smiled, "Sure enough, Feng Xuche is still the cold-hearted man. He really can't."
Feng Xuche said this, but his heart still felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable. That feeling was not very good and he didn't like it.
Yue Ya's foot landed on the mountain of knives, her body shook in pain, and sweat flowed from her forehead.
Every step is extremely difficult, like thousands of golden needles pricking your feet.
Xiao Jingshen closed his eyes and veins popped up on the back of his hands. If possible, he would be willing to walk this mountain of knives and cross this sea of rocks for her.
But morality does not allow it, and he cannot even express his most basic love, because once he expresses it, he will not only be blamed for his moral turpitude, but also be buried in a pig cage and buried in the fire. Even Yue Ya will be scolded and sacrificed.
own life.
He once saw with his own eyes a man and his sister-in-law, who were burned alive in the end. He argued with reason and tried to help them. After all, the woman's husband was dead, so what if her uncle and sister-in-law were together?
Why take the other two away, but in the end it will be a useless effort, and the family elders who are shouting about beating and killing will not agree.
They stick to the rules, have old-fashioned ideas and only know what to do and what not to do.
Blood spilled from the soles of Yue Ya's feet. She bit her lip and prepared for the next step when a voice came from not far away.
"Yueya, no, come down quickly."
"Yueya."
Mrs. Xiao's voice was pitiful and melodious, which made people's hearts tremble. Yue Ya turned around and only glanced at her, but at that moment she saw Mrs. Xiao hitting the ground, with blood gushing out from her mouth.
The scene erupted instantly, and someone exclaimed, "He's dead."
"Young madam, the old lady is dying."
"Old lady, she can't survive."
Yue Ya couldn't care about anything anymore and came down from the mountain of swords. He endured the excruciating pain in the soles of his feet and ran towards the old lady. She fell down in panic and got up again.
"Grandma, grandma."
"Are you okay? Don't scare me."
Yue Ya ran over and hugged the old lady. He saw the old lady vomiting blood as soon as she spoke. She narrowed her eyes weakly and grabbed Yue Ya's hand and cried: "Don't divorce, please... you."
"Grandma... I can't bear to leave you. Please, please promise me."
Yue Ya looked at the old man, whose face was gray and almost on the verge of death, with tears flowing from his eyes.
Xiao Jingyan, Qinghe, and Xiao Jingshen all ran over.
Mrs. Xiao held Xiao Jingyan's hand and placed it on Qinghe's hand, begging, "Jingyan promises...grandma, live a good life with Yue Ya."
"Grandma, I..."
He thought too, but with Qinghe beside him he didn't dare to speak.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Yue Ya, "Yue Ya, this is my grandmother's only wish, please."
Blood flowed from her mouth and stained Yue Ya's clothes.
"Grandma, I can't do it."
In the wing room on the second floor, Jinse lamented, "This old woman is so troublesome that I can't even watch the show."
Feng Xuche's eyes fell deeply on Yue Ya. He couldn't see any emotion, just a vast indifference. After all, this woman was emotional, and the little surprise she gave him was gone.
became disappointed.
I too overestimated her.
Standing up, he said sadly, "Let's go! The show is over and it's boring."
Jinse was still following him, cursing, "It's really disappointing. This man never stopped, and he didn't even see the woman go through the motions."
"Xu Che, do you think this lady from the Xiao family will be trapped in that house just because of this old woman?"
"I don't know!" His tone was bad, and the three words he said were also gloomy.
"Spineless women deserve this."
Feng Xuche didn't know where he got angry, he was just inexplicably unhappy. When he passed by Yue Ya with Jin Se, he looked down upon her and didn't even cast a glance at her.
Naturally, Yue Ya didn't notice him. She looked at the dying old lady and finally shed tears.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll leave again when you get better."
"However, I must divorce my grandmother. Please forgive me for being unfilial."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Xiao Jingshen, "Second Master, could you please do me a favor and help me send my grandmother back for the doctor to take a look at."
"Okay, don't worry!"
Xiao Jingshen picked up Mrs. Xiao and got into the carriage, regardless of the old lady's struggle, and she returned to Daoshan herself.
She said to the official media: "I'm sorry, official media, I wasted your time."
"I'm done with this husband today."
The official media man smiled and said, "Mrs. Xiao's words are serious. In that case, let's start."
Xiao Jingyan's eyes turned red inexplicably as he watched Yue Ya go up the mountain of swords again.
"Jing Yan, I didn't expect that this woman would rather see her grandmother do this than divorce you. It seems that she has taken the weight and is determined to do so."
"That's fine. It saves her from taking over your identity as Xiao Jingyan's first wife and making it impossible for me to marry you as my first wife openly."
Xiao Jingyan didn't say anything. He didn't know that after today, he completely lost the love of his life.
Regret for half my life.
The knife scratched the instep of her foot, which was heartbreaking. She held her head high, bit her lip and swallowed her tears.
She secretly told herself that if she got through it, she wouldn't be bound by this stupid stipulation.
Once she got through it, it didn't matter whether she was married to a man or a woman, and no one would dislike her status as a married woman.
After getting over it, she would still be Yue Ya, not the disgusting Mrs. Xiao.
Tears slipped down and dripped on the back of the sharp knife.
