Chapter 307 Ruthless may not necessarily be ruthless
Listening to Ren Qingrui's words that contained pathos, Liu Mingzhi raised his hand with a look of sadness in his eyes, and gently applied matcha to the wound on his lips where the beauty's red lips left a lingering warmth.
Nodding slightly and glancing at the faint blood streaks on his fingertips, Liu Mingzhi watched with simple eyes as Ren Qingrui slowly walked towards the carriage parked beside the official road in the distance.
"Girl, Da Guoguo, I don't know in my heart that what I did is unfair to you, but how can there be any so-called absolute fairness in this world?
The fairness you want is just the illusion you still have about Da Guoguo.
However, although this is not your wishful thinking, it does have its own limitations."
While Liu Mingzhi was muttering to himself, Ren Qingrui had quietly walked to the position between Liu Mingzhi and the carriage.
As the figure got closer and closer to the carriage, Ren Qingrui's pace gradually slowed down, and she frequently looked back at Liu Mingzhi, who was standing motionless on the spot, her lips murmuring as if she had a thousand words to say.
Ren Qingrui stared at Young Master Liu quietly for a while, seeing that she still had no intention of opening her mouth to save him. The infinite expectation in her beautiful eyes was slowly replaced by coldness, which was mixed with some indescribable sadness.
meaning.
"My little sister is gone, Da Guoguo, how precious you are to me."
Ren Qingrui muttered to himself, and with a pair of crystal-clear jade hands, the joints of which were white, she grasped the purse containing broken silver, and walked with difficulty toward the carriage that had been waiting for her with the gold medal engraved with the five-clawed dragon.
.
Stopping next to the carriage, Ren Qingrui glanced at Liu Mingzhi, who was still standing in the distance, motionless as a mountain. The last trace of expectation in Ren Qingruifang's heart had disappeared, and a sad and sour smile raised at the corner of her lips, holding on to the carriage.
Got on the carriage.
"Old man, let's hurry up."
"Sir, you have been waiting for your close friend to come and practice for you along the way. Now that he has finally come after you, is it a pity that you only chatted for a while and then left?
Anyway, you have booked the little old man's carriage, and the little old man is not in a hurry. Why don't you just chat for a while and reminisce about old times?
If the wine is not enough, I still have two kilograms of good wine in this gourd, which I can give you to entertain you."
"Don't talk too much, just have the intention. If you don't have the intention, what difference does it make even if you say thousands of words?
Xiao Ke and the friend who came to see him off had already finished talking, and there was no point in talking any more.
Old man, I appreciate your kindness and set off on your way!"
The old man looked at Ren Qingrui who quietly lowered the car curtain, put a cage on the two good horses standing on the roadside grazing, then shook his head and sat on the carriage frame with a sigh.
"Alas! What a confused world!
Gold and silver are valuable, but love is priceless. Gold and silver are easy to get, but true love is rare.
I just lament that there are many infatuated children in the world, but in the end it is just a big dream.
But this ruthless person is the most affectionate person.
Being ruthless may not be truly ruthless, and being affectionate may not mean that a person will last forever.
It's just that I can't help myself, I can't control my emotions, and I have no choice but to be trapped by fetters.
What a shame! What a shame!
Young Master, sit down, we are about to set off.
drive."
The old man sighed as if talking to himself, whipped his riding whip, and drove the carriage quickly towards the endless official road.
Liu Mingzhi watched the carriage go further and further away until it turned into a sporadic black dot. He removed the stopper from the wine bag and put it in his mouth.
However, after pouring it hard for a few times, there was still no taste of wine in his mouth. Only then did Liu Mingzhi realize that the wine in the wine bag had already been wiped out by Ren Qingrui.
When there was no trace of the carriage on the quiet and long official road, Liu Mingzhi got on his horse, turned his horse's head, and galloped away in the direction of the capital.
"Send two people to escort Ren Yatou safely to Shu territory.
If something goes wrong, you will be punished severely."
Young Master Liu's sonorous and powerful words echoed on the official road, becoming the last sound on the silent official road.
A few breaths after Liu Mingzhi galloped away, ten figures in gray and brown robes and hats jumped out from the bushes on both sides of the official road.
The slightly older man among the ten people looked towards the south and then towards the north a few times.
“For a pair of lovers, going against each other is often more cruel than being destined to be together.
What a pitiable world!
Kui Lang and Man Niu, you two are going to escort Miss Ren, and you must ensure that Miss Ren can safely arrive in Shu to reunite with her family."
"With orders, my subordinates will resign."
When the sun was at its zenith, Liu Mingzhi finally returned to the Liu Mansion with great speed.
"Young Master?"
Young Master Liu turned over and dismounted, and glanced angrily at Liu Song, who was sleeping on the recliner, holding a dry pipe in his hand and looking at him in astonishment.
"Are you so surprised to see me? Looking at your reaction, I thought you saw a ghost!"
Liu Song hurriedly got up from the recliner and walked towards Young Master Liu, knocking the cigarette pot in his hand on the sole of his boot: "Master, didn't you go to say goodbye to Miss Ren?
Since I was going to say goodbye, I thought that you would have to see me off at least eighty miles away, young master, and you would not be able to come back until the sun sets in the west!
It's been less than half a day since you went out, and you came back so quickly that I almost didn't react when I saw the young master."
"Eighty miles to see us off? I'm going to see you off at eight hundred miles, young master! Master, do I have that much free time? It's not a matter of life and death. Can't you just say what the girl should say?"
"Yes, yes. The young master is right. Everything the young master says is right."
"Okay, you take the horse to the stable in the backyard first. Master, I will go back to the study first. There are still more than half of the documents and memorials left to review!"
"I understand, young master, please go back first."
Liu Mingzhi went straight to the inner courtyard of Liu Mansion. In the garden pavilion leading to the study, three sisters, Qi Yun, Hu Yanjunyao, and Gumo Rongrong, were cracking melon seeds and chatting and laughing.
Qi Yun, who was sitting directly opposite, suddenly noticed her husband's figure and her pretty face was startled subconsciously. When she came back to her senses, Qi Yun immediately put the melon seeds in her hand into the tray, clapped her palms and walked towards Young Master Liu.
.
"Husband, you...didn't you go to send sister Qingrui home? Why are you back so soon?"
Sisters Hu Yanjunyao and Gumo Rongrong also put down the melon seeds and came out of the pavilion with light fans. They had just learned from Qi Yun what the husband was doing.
And we were just talking about it!
Seeing that my husband came back so soon, I subconsciously asked: "Husband, why did you come back so early?"
The corner of Young Master Liu's mouth twitched as he looked at the three sisters who reacted in such a surprised manner: "What's wrong with coming back early? If you don't come back, why don't you sleep in the wild with Yatou Ren in your arms all night?"
How do you all react to this? My husband just went to say goodbye to Yatou Ren. How come you made it sound like my husband was going to elope with her?
What do you mean by what you said? Are you wishing that your husband would not come back?"
When the three women saw their husband's helpless reaction, they shook their heads hurriedly.
"No, no, husband, what are you talking about? How can I wish you would not come back?"
"That's right, my sisters are just curious about why your husband came back so quickly. There is no other meaning."
"I thought you, my husband, would bring Sister Rui back? Even if you can't bring her back, at least you have to say goodbye.
But now...surprise, really just surprise."
"You three little goblins still have some conscience."
"Husband, are you really going to let sister Qingrui go back to her hometown like this?
Didn't you make any agreement with him?"
Liu Mingzhi's eyes flashed and he instinctively reached for the fan at his waist. After several failed attempts, he got up and went out in a hurry, forgetting the jade fan in the study.
He reached out and took the small Qingluo fan in Qi Yun's hand and fanned a cool breeze on his slightly sweaty forehead. Liu Mingzhi nodded sadly to the three women.
"I have gone back to my hometown to see my parents' health. Can my husband still stop me from going back?
Besides, why should I stop my husband?
To put it nicely, the relationship between my husband and Yatou Ren is that she has called me big brother for several years, and my husband has called her girl for several years.
How can it be justified that the eldest brother prevents the girl he loves from returning to his hometown to fulfill his filial piety?
As for the agreement, what good agreement do I have with her?"
The three Qi Yun sisters looked at each other and nodded in disinterest.
"This...this is true, it's a pity."
"It's really a pity."
"The falling flowers are intentional and the flowing water is ruthless!"
