Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 54 Streets

   At that moment, Mrs. Wyamber's heart was beating rapidly, giving birth to the fear of being penetrated into her heart.

   She quickly concealed her good mood, with shock on her face: "How can there be such a rumor?"

   "The rumor? Everyone on the street saw it, or is it a rumor?" Wyambo stared at Mrs. Wyamber with a scrutiny in his eyes, "Ms. Liu, how much do you know about this?"

   Mrs. Huai Amber took a step back. She didn't seem to expect her husband to ask such a question, and tears fell instantly: "How would I know about such a thing? Uncle, it makes me sad for you to say that!"

   Huai Amber's cold and hard expression was not softened by his wife's tears: "You and Mrs. Pingjiahou are cousins ​​and have many contacts, don't you realize that something is wrong?"

   Mrs. Huai Amber looked aggrieved: "Uncle, think about it, the son likes men, will the mother tell others? Not to mention cousins, even sisters will not mention it."

   Wyambo stared at Mrs. Wyamber with heavy eyes.

"Uncle, don't you believe it?" Mrs. Huai Anbo's tears fell even more fiercely, "In these years, I have asked myself that I have not treated Yi'er badly. Xiu'er has some Yi'er, and Xiu'er does not have Yi'er. As expected, it's hard to be a stepmother, Uncle is so suspicious of me."

   Huai Amber was not moved by these words: "How old is Xiuer? Yier who Xiuer doesn't has, isn't that normal?"

   Mrs. Wyamber froze.

  A man who usually doesn't worry about things in the house is so hard to get rid of once he gets serious.

   "So, Uncle thinks that I pushed Yi'er into the fire pit on purpose?" Mrs. Huai Amber asked in a trembling voice.

   Wyambe frowned.

   He was full of anger at Liu, which did not mean that he was sure that Liu deliberately harmed the eldest daughter.

In fact, it is not important for couples living under one roof to be sure. The marriage of the eldest daughter was facilitated by the successor, and the man is also related to the successor. Now there is such a big problem, Wy Amber It is impossible for the successor to not respond.

   Liu's fairly bright face suddenly lost most of its color in Huai'anbo's eyes.

   "Anyway, this marriage is going to quit." After getting angry, Wyambo couldn't hold on to things without evidence, but his mood was extremely bad.

   He has a strong relationship with his wife, and he naturally loves his eldest daughter, but as his daughter grows older, even if he is a father, he cannot be as close as a mother and daughter. I thought that my daughter would be relieved to have a good marriage, but this happened.

   Retiring from the relatives can jump out of the fire pit of the Pingjiahou mansion, but the damage to the eldest daughter is not light.

   Mrs. Huai Amber was stunned: "Retire?"

   "What, do you have an opinion?"

   Mrs. Huai Amber was a little confused: "Uncle, quitting relatives is not a trivial matter, do you want to think about it?"

  Cousin was worried that her son's affairs would be discovered in the future, and she might be upset when she encountered a tough daughter-in-law from her parents' family who couldn't swallow her breath, so she took a fancy to Chen Yi.

   She is also happy that her stepdaughter gets a marriage that looks bright but is actually bad, so that she can get a good reputation as a stepmother without worrying about Xiuer's future marriage.

   resolved the marriage of the stepdaughter and consolidated the relationship with the cousin, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. If she goes to retire, if nothing else, her cousin will be dissatisfied with her.

   "Do you think this matter needs to be considered?" Wyamber stared at Mrs. Wyamber with an unpredictable expression.

   Mrs. Wyamberg felt the danger intuitively, and smiled reluctantly: "Retirement has too much influence on women, I don't think it's rash."

   "You don't have to think about these things. Tomorrow you will go to Pingjiahou's house to retire from your relatives."

   "Uncle, Uncle—" Mrs. Wyambo called out a few times, but she didn't look back, and fell down on the chair with a depressed expression.

  Huai Amber went directly to Chen Yi's boudoir.

   "Father." Chen Yi wiped the corners of her eyes and showed a nervous smile.

   "Don't worry, Yi'er, go to Pingjiahou Mansion early tomorrow morning to retire from relatives."

   "Father—" Chen Yi pulled Huai'anbo's sleeve, tears streaming down her cheeks.

   "Yi'er don't cry, father will give you a good marriage in the future."

After   Huai Amber comforted her daughter to leave, Chen Yi sat quietly for a moment, opened the box and took out a small bag wrapped in ordinary cloth.

   Inside is the fine gold and silver that she picked up when she couldn't sleep a few days ago. It was a preparation for when she was driven to a desperate situation.

   Fortunately, she still has a father.

  Fortunately, she doesn't need these.

  Chen Yi cried silently for a long time, holding the small bag with blue background flowers, silently wiped away her tears, put the bag back into the cage, and covered it with cloth.

   She doesn't plan to return these softness to the original place. With this burden, she will be reminded that she must have the courage to resist no matter how big a predicament she is in the future, instead of compromising and accepting fate.

  Chen Yi sat in front of the vanity mirror and tidied up, quietly left Huai'anbo Mansion through the corner door, and met Lin Hao who was waiting outside.

   It was already dark, and the girl's eyes looked particularly bright in Lin Hao.

   "I guess there is good news." Lin said with a smile.

  Chen Yi was surprised: "How do you know?"

  Lin Hao pointed at the corner of her lips: "The corners of the mouth are so high, it can't be bad news."

   "My father said that he would leave the family tomorrow." Chen Yi wanted to laugh, but couldn't help crying, "Well, my father said that he would leave the family tomorrow."

   "That's great." Lin Hao patted Chen Yi's back. While he was happy for his friend, his heart was a little awkward.

  The fathers of most girls are like Chen Yi's father. They may not be close to their daughters at ordinary times, but they will become the most powerful support for their daughters at critical times.

   She and her sister are not very lucky.

   "Ah Hao, thanks to you for this result." Chen Yi took Lin Hao's hand and kept thanking him.

   "You don't have to say these words among friends."

  Chen Yi nodded vigorously: "I'll treat you to a drink the other day. It's too late today, ah, go home early, I'll ask the housekeeper to see you off."

   "Your house is busy, so you don't have to worry about it, there are orbs to accompany me."

  Chen Yi glanced at the sky: "But it's getting dark."

   "What's the matter? There are lights everywhere, and people come and go." Lin Hao lowered his voice, "Baozhu and I will have some fists and kicks, so we won't be afraid of it if we are young."

   Chen Yi was surprised.

   Ah, you know water well and kung fu, is there anything else you can't do?

   urged Chen Yi to go back, and Lin Hao walked easily towards the general's mansion with Baozhu's footsteps.

  The wind of early summer brings warmth, gently stroking the red lanterns hanging under the eaves of the shops on the street, and the flickering orange light sprinkles on the pedestrians, sketching a warm and peaceful street scene.

  Lin finally thought of that snowy night, the deserted streets and the lonely lights.

  Fortunately, she is trying to stay away from that ending.

   "Second girl!"

   A figure rushed out, and before he could get close to Lin Hao, he was kicked away by Baozhu.

  Lin Hao stopped and looked at the person who fell to the ground.

   "Wen manage things?"

  Wen Ping crawled over and burst into tears: "Second girl, save me!"
