The so-called defenders of the Taoism have almost completely blocked Baoning Hall in the past two days. Some people even climbed in from the courtyard wall with ladders, shouting that Xu Xiuyi should be transferred to the authorities and sentenced to death according to the law.
Ah Fu, Guan Dahu and others simply acted righteously and sprinkled ceramic debris all over the courtyard wall. They also lit fires and threatened those who climbed the wall to set fire to them if they dared to act rashly again. The situation was somewhat controlled.
But the slander that followed was even more harsh.
Afuguan Dahu and others protected him, and asked the Taoist priests to distort it, insisting that Xu Xiuyi's child must have had an affair with these men.
Xu Xiuyi is now surrounded by enemies, and her saliva can drown her. Others are worried for her and advise her to leave the capital. On the contrary, she herself has a calm face. No matter how fierce the commotion outside is, it doesn't seem to have much to do with her.
.
Pregnancy of a widow is not something unusual or worthy of slander in modern times, but in ancient times it became a heinous crime. She only found it funny.
In the past few days, the Su Jiang family and the Guan Dahu family took turns guarding her. She was so calm, and they were worried that she would not be able to think clearly.
Guan Dahu's family, because outsiders said that Xu Xiuyi's child was born because of the people in the store, she felt a little resentful. Naturally, it was not because she suspected Xu Xiuyi and Guan Dahu were having an affair, but - Ah Fu
.
This was the third day that Baoning Hall was blocked. Guan Dahu's family brought food in. Xu Xiuyi was practicing calligraphy, so she went over to say hello.
"Third Grandma, let's have a meal."
Xu Xiuyi raised her eyes and looked at her: "Leave it there, I'll eat it later."
"Hey!" Guan Dahu's family put down the food and was about to leave. When he walked to the door, he frowned, turned back, and finally couldn't hold it back. He said seriously, "Grandma, I am a person who can't hide things. Let me first say that it doesn't matter what grandma's fault is.
Whose child belongs to me? I still respect grandma. Grandma, please tell me the truth, is this child really from our family?"
Xu Xiuyi put down her pen and looked at her with a smile, without looking angry.
Simply, she only said two words: "No?"
Guan Dahu's family couldn't tell whether she was telling the truth or not, but she was straightforward and since she had already started talking, she asked directly: "Grandma, is this child Afu's?"
When Xu Xiuyi heard this, she was startled for a moment, then she pursed her lips and chuckled, quite interested: "Why do you say that?"
"I understand what Ah Fu thinks about grandma even if others can't tell. I was applying medicine in the backyard, and when I talk about you, grandma, Ah Fu's eyes light up. Besides, grandma also gave him a handkerchief."
son."
"Handkerchief?" Xu Xiuyi thought for a moment, but couldn't remember when such a thing happened.
"He treasured it. That day when everyone was joking with him, water spilled on his pillow. He hurriedly dug into the pillow and came out with a satin handkerchief, but he quickly hid it.
I stuffed it into my arms, and with my sharp eyes, I saw grandma's memory words embroidered on the veil."
Xu Xiuyi laughed even more when she heard this, but she still didn't look angry at all.
Ah Fu admires her, she has known it for a long time.
She probably accidentally dropped the square embroidered handkerchief some time ago, and Ah Fu picked it up and treasured it.
"Sister-in-law, just think about it, if it is really Ah Fu, in this situation, even if he is not willing to leave, he will probably send me away after being knocked unconscious."
In this way, Guan Dahu's family is actually just a suspicion. At this moment, he said embarrassedly: "Grandma, it was me who said nonsense. Don't forget to take it to heart."
"Haha, it's okay, let's go out."
Guan Dahu's family just left. Not long after leaving, the door was pushed open again. Xu Xiuyi raised her eyes and saw, by coincidence, it was Ah Fu.
When she saw him, she was open-minded, but when he saw her, he was angry and distressed. He knelt down and said, "Grandma wants to save the child's father, but she can't ignore her own life. Those crazy people at the door will really kill grandma."
Yes, grandma, I beg you, run away quickly, to the end of the world, as long as you need grandma, Afu will follow you like a cow and a horse for the rest of his life."
Xu Xiuyi was moved by this love, but she didn't dare to accept it. She was unwilling to give Ah Fu half a star's hope. The cruelest thing about love is not rejection, but ambiguity.
"Get up, I won't leave. My mother-in-law is the protector of the country after all, and they don't dare to do anything to me."
Ah Fu said: "If grandma's family wanted to help grandma, they wouldn't have come today. Third grandma, I have already said that the old lady means that if you go back, the family will serve you and beat you to death in private. You
Let’s go.”
The old lady of the Su family, Su Jinye, brought news that the old lady of the Su family was so angry that she had written a letter of divorce and submitted it to the government. Once the government seals it, Xu Xiuyi will no longer be from the Su family.
It's just that her natal family belongs to the Duke Protector's Palace, and the government doesn't dare to act rashly, so the divorce letter is not effective yet, but the old lady of the Su family has said that while the divorce letter is not effective, Xu Xiuyi is still a member of the Su family, so everything
According to the laws of the family, if she goes back, she will be beaten to death.
Now that the Su family has the support of the Ministry of Household Affairs, they are no longer so afraid of Xu Xiuyi's natal family. Su Jinye is right, the old lady of the Su family will really beat her to death, because since the incident, the Duke Protector's Office has not shown any attitude.
No attitude is the clearest attitude - shame and let go.
Xu Xiuyi once wanted Su Jiang to experience what it meant to be alone and helpless. In fact, she was no better than Su Jiang at the moment.
The only thing that was better was her mentality.
She is waiting for him.
She wanted to know how important her Xu Xiuyi was in terms of profit and status. Counting the time, he should have been back for at least a day and a half. She spent the day and a half by writing when she was awake. The calmer her face became,
My heart gets colder.
Once he admitted that the child was his, he had only one option: to give up everything and take her away.
She was ready for this, but that person was nowhere to be seen. After all, she was so insignificant in his heart.
Looking at Ah Fu, I feel that Ah Fu is willing to be with him forever, but being touched does not mean love.
Sitting down and having a meal, she actually felt the same. Under the calm appearance, she became increasingly cold and disappointed. She finally knew that love can really kill people, completely killing them spiritually.
"Afu, I will run away, but I won't take you with me."
"Third Grandma."
"I know how much you feel for me. Just because of this, I can't drag you down. Go and tell Brother Guan to prepare a car for me at midnight tomorrow."
Ah Fu wanted to say something else, but seeing Xu Xiuyi's firm attitude, he could only make up his mind. The third grandma wouldn't allow him to go with her, so he would follow her from afar.
Therefore, he stopped staying and went out in response.
That night, there was a huge crowd outside the gate of Baoning Hall. The Taoist priests blocked the outside of Baoning Hall almost day and night, trying to kill Xu Xiuyi before giving up.
Even at night, they had no peace, banging doors and banging gongs outside Baoning Hall. The annoying neighbors in the streets wished that Xu Xiuyi would die quickly, so as not to hinder their lives.
In the past few days, these people were just making noises at the door. That night, they suddenly brought in countless firewood, poured vegetable oil on it, and vowed to burn Xu Xiuyi alive in order to do justice to heaven.
Someone shouted at the door, telling innocent people to leave quickly.
In Baoning Hall, Guan Dahu and others finally wavered.
If this group of thugs really set the fire, they would not regret dying, but they all have wives and children.
In the lobby, Guan Dahu held his seven-year-old son in his arms and looked at Xu Xiuyi: "Third Grandma, what can we do with this? These people are lunatics, they really know how to set fires."
Xu Xiuyi didn't want to implicate innocent people. If she was destined to die, it was God's will.
Without answering Guan Dahu's words, she turned towards the door and opened one of the doors.
"No, Third Grandma, people outside are all crazy."
Afu shouted.
Xu Xiuyi turned around and smiled at everyone. The smile was so peaceful but heartbreaking: "I won't bring trouble to everyone."
The moment the door opened, someone was about to rush in. Xu Xiuyi just looked coldly and glanced around: "Set the house on fire. According to the laws I have passed, you all know how to deal with it."
With just one sentence, those people stopped, but soon a voice sounded: "As long as we can burn you to death for being an unruly woman, we are willing to accept legal punishment."
Xu Xiuyi's piercing eyes were extraordinarily calm in the sky-high firelight: "Didn't you say that innocent people should be evacuated from the scene? Killing or beheading is also a matter for the government. Let our guys leave, and I am willing to surrender with you."
As soon as she said this, everyone's emotions rose: "Xu Xiuyi, you shameless person, you are finally willing to surrender. Okay, then let your Baoning Hall guys go. You go to the government with us, and we will impregnate you tonight."
Pig cage."
Xu Xiuyi was Lingran, unmoving, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, looking extremely calm.
There is nothing to fear about life and death. She is not a person who has never died. Up to the last moment, An Chengshao has never appeared. She finally gave up completely. He is not qualified to be the father of her unborn child. Even if he dies, she will not
He will tell you that this is his flesh and blood.
She took one step out of Baoningtang, and the Baoningtang clerk rushed to protect her, but she shouted back and only warned: "Baoningtang will rely on you from now on."
After saying that, the other one also stepped out of Baoning Hall. The group of fierce Taoist priests quickly gathered around holding torches. In the hot summer, the hot flames were like the executioner's sharp blade, trying to kill Xu Xiuyi every time.
Burning the individual without leaving any trace of skin and soul.
"Wait a minute."
There was a roar, and everyone looked around, only to see a man in a brown robe and a beard standing in the crowd.
Before anyone could take a closer look, the man walked up to Xu Xiuyi in a few steps, stretched out his hand to protect Xu Xiuyi behind him, and said loudly: "Who dares to touch my wife? This child is my flesh and blood, Su Jinyuan."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pulled it, and the beard was actually stained. When the beard fell, no one would be unfamiliar with his fair and handsome face. Isn't this the third master of the Su family, Su Jinyuan.
For a moment, everyone was terrified, not knowing whether he was a human or a ghost.
Xu Xiuyi did not expect that Su Jinyuan would stand up. At this moment, she was disgusted with him, but her eyes were red because of the warmth in despair.
He took her hand gently and stretched out his hand to protect her, as if he would support her even if the sky fell.
For the first time, Xu Xiu felt that there was someone who could share the weight on her shoulders.
Su Jinyuan looked at everyone with cold eyes and said loudly: "Who dares to hurt her even a little bit?"
"You, you, you, are, are you, a human, or a ghost?"
Someone bravely asked, holding a torch.
Su Jinyuan shouted loudly, with a mighty aura: "If I were a ghost, and you dared to hurt my wife like this, I would have dragged you to the eighteenth level of hell. Some people have heard me clearly. Go back and tell your master. If you dare to slander me again,
If Xiu Yi hurts Xiu Yi, don’t blame me for making up for the past friendship and letting him finish it completely."
He stood like an emperor, standing in front of Xu Xiuyi, his broad chest resisting all rumors and harm. He was majestic and proud, completely different from the unbearable Su Jinyuan in Xu Xiuyi's memory.
She had always been prejudiced or even disgusted with him, but at this moment, it all turned into emotion.
She let him hold her hand and protect her. For the first time, she didn't want to let go of his hand.
Everyone in the crowd was in an uproar. Now that the child in Xu Xiuyi's belly was legitimate, the so-called defenders dispersed one after another, leaving a few people who looked around furtively and quickly dispersed into the crowd. Only one person stood in the crowd, stunned.
Looking at the hands held by Xu Xiuyi and Su Jinyuan, their faces turned blue and white.
An Chengshao finally saw him, but he just watched in the crowd. There is a kind of love called despair. This is Xu Xiuyi's love for An Chengshao.
Wait, wither in waiting.
She looked at him, and he looked at her, and then they became strangers to each other.
——Digression——
Don't underestimate Su Jinyuan. He is actually a very good person, but he used to be a bit unruly. As for what Mr. An Cheng has been doing since he died these days, I will explain tomorrow. I have a headache. I have been sleeping all day. I will update more and more.
