White appeared in the sky. The weather was gloomy and rainy. It was very dark during the day. The gatekeeper of the Qian Estate opened the door and saw Qiao Ruoyi standing in front of him. He called out, “Lady Qiao Wu.”
Qiao Ruoyi went straight in and asked, “Where is Zhou Shihui?”
Qiao Ruoyun heard the Servant Girl’s report. She went out and saw Qiao ruoyi dressed in white linen clothes. She asked, “Ruoyi, what happened to you? Why are you dressed in mourning clothes?”
Qiao Ruoyi’s eyes were red as she cried, “Big sister, Luo Wei left me. It was Zhou Shihui who caused his death!”
Qiao Ruoyun said in surprise, “Luo Wei is gone? How?”
Qiao ruoyi said, “I want to kill Zhou Shihui to avenge my husband and Xiao Man!”
“Xiao Man is gone too?”Qiao Ruoyun said in shock.
Xiao Man had grown up in the marquisdom since he was young. He was still so young. He was not even twenty yet, and he had already died?
Qiao ruoyi bit her lip and said, “Big Sister, tell me where Zhou Shihui is. where is she?”
“Are you looking for me?”Zhou Shihui came out in a red traditional dress, holding an oil-paper umbrella. His face was filled with a proud smile. “If you want to blame someone, you should blame Qiao Lui and Qiao Jinniang. Why are you looking for me to take revenge?”
Qiao ruoyi placed a knife stained with blood on Zhou Shihui’s neck, scaring Qiao Ruoyun so much that she screamed, “Ruoyi!”
Zhou Shihui raised his head and looked at Qiao ruoyi, “Do You Dare to kill me? This is the Wu Imperial residence, I’m the daughter of the Wu Imperial residence. Second Lady, my uncle is the Wu Imperial residence. If you kill me, the Wu Imperial residence will definitely not let you off!”
Qian Yin also rushed out. Seeing Qiao Ruoyi in this state, he hurriedly said, “Fifth sister, show mercy. I don’t know how Zhou Shihui offended you, but our Qian Imperial residence will definitely teach her a good lesson!”
“It’s been five years. Did your Qian family discipline her well! Letting her live for five more years is letting her off easy!”Qiao ruoyi closed her eyes and slashed the knife forward.
Zhou Shihui’s eyes widened as he said, “You dare to kill me? Quickly save me, save me!”
After Qiao Ruoyi withdrew the knife, she stabbed it into Zhou Shihui’s heart again!
Qian Yin went forward to cover Qiao Ruoyun’s eyes. Qiao Ruoyun moved Qian Yin’s hand away and trembled as she went forward to hug Qiao ruoyi. Her eyes were filled with tears. “Ruoyi, ruoyi.”
Qiao Ruoyi put down the knife in her hand and fell into Qiao Ruoyun’s arms. “Big Sister.”
Qiao Ruoyun knew very well that Qiao Ruoyi was someone that not even an ant would dare to step on to kill. To be able to kill someone at this moment, it could be seen that she hated him to the extreme..
When Xie Yun entered, he saw Zhou Shihui lying on the ground, he walked up to Qian yin and said, “Lord Wu, Zhou Shihui incited Jiang Yu to murder Qiao Ruoyi and Nichang, causing the deaths of General Luo and Lady Xiao Man. Zhou Shihui deserves his punishment!”
Qian Yin did not have any feelings for Zhou Shihui’s niece. He just felt that it was difficult to explain to his elder brother. After all, it was Ruoyun’s younger sister who had killed Zhou Shihui. After hearing Xie Yun’s explanation, Qian Yin did not have to worry about not being able to explain himself.
Qian Yin said, “I did not know that Zhou Shihui had committed such a huge mistake. She deserved to die.”
Qiao Ruoyun helped the Crying Qiao ruoyi into her room and made her cry as well. Over the past two years, Qiao Ruoyi’s letters had mentioned Luo Wei.
Qiao Ruoyun still remembered that when Qiao Ruoyi was young, she was most afraid of marrying a martial artist. In her eyes, martial artists were all rude people. After the two of them got married, Qiao Ruoyun had thought that it was just to let Nichang have a baby, she did not expect that the relationship between the two of them would be so good.
The male plaice had a deep love for each other. In Chang ‘an, people were envious.
However, the heavens were so cruel.
Qiao Ruoyi was tired from crying. She collapsed on the table with her eyes closed. There were still tears in her eyes. Qiao Ruoyun ordered the servant girl to change a bed for Qiao Ruoyi to rest in her room.
After leaving, Qian Yin said to Qiao Ruoyun, “If I had known that Zhou Shihui would be like this, I wouldn’t have kept her because of my brother.”
Qiao Ruoyun choked on her sobs and said, “Zhou Shihui deserves to die ten thousand deaths for his crimes. But what about ruoyi… ?”
Sigh, Xie Yun is really a troublemaker. If it wasn’t for him, how could this matter have happened? Jiang Yu is still madam Xie, so she wouldn’t be able to tolerate ruoyi and Nichang. If it were another noble lady, how could she not care?”
Qian Yin listened to Qiao Ruoyun’s complaints and gestured for him to look at Xie Yun beside him. When Qiao Ruoyun saw that Xie Yun was here, she did not feel awkward. Even in front of Xie Yun, she still had to say this.
“Master Xie, you don’t like the Qiao family and it’s fine if you don’t like my sister. But why can’t you even control your woman? If Miss Jiang and Miss Li were to harm ruoyi and Nichang today, there wouldn’t be a second Luo Wei to protect them!”
Qian Yin stopped Qiao Ruoyun and said to Xie Yun, “My wife is unreasonable, please forgive me, family head Xie.”
Xie Yun frowned and said, “What Princess Wu said makes sense.”
..
In the magistrate’s Office of he city, the surrounding officials came to pay their respects after receiving the news. There were also quite a number of people who knew that Luo Wei had died because of the bandit leader’s revenge. They all came to the magistrate’s office to pay their respects.
Little Nichang was also dressed in sackcloth. She obediently paid her respects to the people who had come to pay their respects.
It was only at night that she would go to the coffin and ask, “Mother, why is father still asleep? Why hasn’t he woken up after sleeping for so long?”
Qiao Ruoyi hugged Little Nichang and tears fell from her eyes. However, it seemed that she could not shed any more tears.
In the past, she would not believe it when she heard that tears would run out. However, in the past half a month, even her pillow had been wet after she woke up.
Qiao Ruoyun went over to console little nichang. “Your father has gone to the heavens. He will protect you well in the heavens. Nichang, be good. Aunt will bring you to bed.”
Little Nichang replied, “I want to listen to the ballad.”
Glutinous rice went over to hold little nichang’s hand and said, “How about aunt glutinous rice singing the ballad for You? I used to sing the ballad for Your Crown Prince’s cousin before he fell asleep.”
Niching nodded.
Glutinous rice held niching’s hand and went to the backyard of the government office to rest. When they reached the door, niching saw Xie Yun and called out, “Thank you, Uncle.”
Xie Yun raised his hand and wanted to hug niching. He said to glutinous rice, “I’ll take care of niching.”
However, glutinous rice did not hand niching over to Xie Yun. Instead, she brought niching inside.
In the room, little nichang curiously asked glutinous rice, “Aunt glutinous rice, I want to thank Uncle Xie. Uncle Xie is just like father. He treats me very well.”
Glutinous rice patted little nichang’s head and said, “No, there’s only one father. He’s different from your father. He doesn’t deserve to be compared to your father.”
Little Nichang obediently acknowledged, “Father only has one father.”
After coaxing little nichang to sleep, she went out and saw that Xie Yun was still outside the door, glutinous rice said unhappily, “Family head Xie, Little Nichang has lost her father and Aunt Xiaoman, who took care of her since she was young. She is already suffering. If you really love her, don’t appear in front of her.
Don’t let her treat you as her father. What about you? If you want to abandon her again, tell her that because her mother is a daughter of a concubine, the Xie family won’t be able to accommodate her and her mother?
“Since you can’t let Nichang become the daughter of Your Xie family, the best thing is that it will be the same as before. We won’t have anything to do with each other! “Please don’t appear in front of Nichang anymore!”
