He knew about the friendship between Su Yuanyuan and Yichun. The two of them were like close friends. They went shopping together, ate together, and even got together to gossip in their free time.
Su Yuanyuan also brought Yichun to make clothes of her own design, and specially asked him to draw on them. Yichun fell in love with Jiang Zhiyi when she first met her. She said that she might never have children in her life.
So he gave Jiang Zhiyi a silver collar and a white jade longevity lock on it. He joked that he would accept Jiang Zhiyi as his godson and let him provide for her in old age.
But these agreements could not be realized after all.
Su Yuanyuan and Jiang Wenzheng left Li Mansion at dawn. After a night of heavy rain, yesterday's heat and heat had long disappeared. Taking a deep breath, the air was moist and cool.
Everyone in the Li Mansion was organizing the funeral in an orderly manner. When Su Yuanyuan and Jiang Wenzheng were about to get into the carriage, they saw Su Ji walking out of the gate with a confused look on his face.
He recognized Su Yuanyuan at first sight and trotted forward.
"Doctor Su, who in the family died of illness?"
He had seen the white lanterns hanging in the mansion since he got up in the morning, but he didn't meet anyone when he came out of the south courtyard, and he didn't know who to ask.
Along the way, he was thinking that it might be someone from the Li family, but he didn't dare to speculate. Now that he saw Su Yuanyuan, he must have come to see her for medical treatment.
Ever since Su Yuanyuan came last night and was placed in the mourning hall in Yichun, Su Yuanyuan has not seen the shadow of Su Ji.
This is Yichun’s good husband...
Hatred rose in her heart, and her bloodshot eyes stared blankly at Su Ji.
Su Ji was confused for a moment, why did this woman view herself so?
Jiang Wenzheng on the side gently stopped Su Yuanyuan to prevent her from getting angry.
He helped her get into the carriage first, then turned to Su Ji and spoke slowly.
"It was Mrs. Ling Li Yichun who died of illness."
His voice was cold and he looked at Su Ji mockingly.
Su Ji thought she had heard wrong at first, but then she realized that her mother-in-law came to report last night that it was Yichun who died!
He seemed to have been knocked out of his mind for a moment, and stood in a daze.
Jiang Wenzheng didn't want to look at this man, so he turned around and got on the carriage and asked the driver to drive away, leaving Su Ji alone.
Su Ji blinked and big tears squeezed out of his eyes. He brushed the tears off his face in disbelief, but his face had already been filled with tears.
He turned around and took another look at the Li Mansion with the white sail hanging on it. Still a little disbelieving, he staggered and ran into the Li Mansion.
As he walked north, he saw the maids busy at work. He frantically grabbed a maid holding a white cloth and was about to send it to be cut.
He firmly grasped the maid's shoulders with his big hands, and his eyes were so wide that they almost bulged out.
"Who's dead! Tell me who's dead!"
The maid had never seen Su Ji in such a crazy state. How could his normally calm uncle become like a lunatic?
She stuttered and replied, "It's the eldest lady."
After hearing the answer, Su Ji shook her head slightly, her mouth was trembling, she pushed the maid away and ran away.
Although the maid was frightened, she was also very confused. Didn't my uncle dislike seeing the young lady the most? Everyone in the house knew it. Why did she feel like she had lost her soul when she heard the news of the young lady's death?
When Su Ji stumbled to the mourning hall, his bun was already scattered and hung loosely on his head.
Li Sanyi, who was kneeling in front of the hall, immediately became angry when he saw Su Ji. He looked around, picked up the stick used to stir the brazier, and hit Su Ji on the body.
He was very strong, and he knocked Su Ji to the ground with one blow of the stick.
Everyone around him exclaimed, reacting quickly to stop Li San who was in a furious state.
"I'll beat you bastard to death! How dare you come to see my sister! Get out! Get out! Get out of the Li family!"
At this moment, Li San was so angry that none of the four or five servants could stop him. Each of his sticks hit Su Ji so hard that there was a muffled sound.
The brazier in front of the soul was trampled over by the pushing and shoving, and ashes glowing with sparks floated in the air.
A little bit fell on the face of Su Ji who fell to the ground, leaving a little gray on his handsome face.
"Su Ji, do you have any conscience? How did my sister treat you! How did you treat my sister! When you were a poor man, who knelt in front of my father's room all night before asking for a recommendation for you!
"
Li San yelled at Su Ji who was on the ground. His eyes were scarlet and he wanted to tear the person on the ground into pieces.
Su Ji curled up and hugged his head tightly, sobs kept coming from his mouth, and his heart almost hurt to death.
He loves Yichun. They were childhood sweethearts, a young couple. Why did she leave him first?
The movement in front of the mourning hall disturbed County Magistrate Li. His face was not good-looking, and his dim eyes were bloodshot.
Although he usually pays little attention to this daughter, this is also his first child, so he would be lying if he said he doesn't feel sorry for her.
He saw the wooden stick in Li San's hand and shouted angrily, "Stop!"
Only then did Li San suppress his urge to beat Su Ji.
Normally, he was respectful to his son-in-law, who had become a high-ranking official, but now he stood up straight and stared at Su Ji, who was lying on the ground in a panic with blood mixed with snot hanging from his face.
"My daughter has left. I, the Li family, will go to the Su family to get back her dowry and belongings. Mr. Su, please leave as soon as possible."
When a woman gets married, her natal family will prepare a dowry for her daughter. This dowry includes jewelry, clothing, and shops, which she will use throughout her life after marrying into her husband's family.
The dowry also means that the daughter's family does not use food from her husband's family, eats from your family, or drinks from your family. If the dowry is rich, she will be upright in her husband's family.
But if the woman dies, the remaining dowry will be returned to her mother's family. In ancient times, any man with integrity would not touch his wife's dowry.
When Yichun got married, Su Ji had already found an official position. Magistrate Li was afraid that Yichun would be bullied because of her shabby dowry when she went to the capital, so he prepared a generous dowry for her and gave the remaining dowry of his late wife to Yichun.
.
Now that Su Ji had passed away in Yichun, it was absolutely impossible to give him any advantage, so the housekeeper rushed to the capital with his people that day.
Su Ji and Liu Yue were also kicked out by people from the Li Mansion.
His family had built a mansion a long time ago, and now he could only find a cheaper yard to live in.
Liu Yue also learned the news of Yichun's death early in the morning. She was originally lying on the imperial concubine's couch. When she heard the news, she immediately sat up straight. She was afraid that she had heard wrongly and asked again, but her eyes were full of expectation.
.
"Say it again?"
The maid said again, "You heard me right, that person died last night."
A hint of cunning flashed through Liu Yue's eyes. She seemed to be relieved. She put her thin hands on the wooden frame of the bed and exerted a slight force, and her nails were almost embedded in it.
