Second Marriage - Chapter 1
Xiao Youning was holding the Xiu Shushu, behind him was an exquisite Qiangong bed with a big red mandarin duck and brocade quilt. Not long ago, Xi Niang’s peanuts and red dates were lying quietly on it.
There was festive and warm red all around, but at this moment, she was like falling into an ice cave, with chill seeping through the bones, like hairspring, so cold that her teeth wanted to tremble up and down.
“Your Li family is going to divorce me?”
She squeezed the scribbled letter of resignation in her hand and fixed her staring at Li Qingzhi, who had already changed her clothes in front of her. She was very emotional and angry.
But Xiao Youning thought that he would scream exhausted under the rush of anger, opened his mouth, and heard only his own cold voice.
Li Qingzhi’s eyes flickered when he heard the words. After looking at her, he dared not look at her again. He turned to look at the burning dragon and phoenix candles.
Xiao Youning actually wanted to laugh in his silence.
The son who was praised for his unparalleled morality in the past, now he realizes that he is hypocritical and has no responsibility.
“You Ning, you don’t have to blame Erlang.” A woman who was standing on the edge stepped forward to her, half-blocking her son behind her, “Your father and brother have an accident, and we are all sorry for you. But if it’s normal. Regardless, the cause of the accident was that it refused to listen to the dissuasion of the Ministry of Defense and insisted on leading the army to send troops, leading to a crushing defeat of the enemy country. Thirty thousand soldiers died two-thirds. After investigation, it was a felony that even the Li family could not intercede.”
The woman said, sighed faintly, and looked at her with a pitying look.
“You Ning, Erlang treats you sincerely, but I can’t let anyone ruin his future. If he is the wife of a daughter of a criminal minister, all these ten years of hard work will be wasted. Blame it, blame me , But I can guarantee that I will take care of you in secret, and will not let your orphan girl suffer outside.”
Xiao Youning was almost sickened by these words.
“My daughter of a criminal courtier?! Why didn’t Mrs. Li say that Master Li was in jail when you and my family were married?! Did my Xiao family say that Li Qingzhi was the son of a criminal courtier?!”
She was so angry that the corners of her eyes were red, and her clenched hands trembled lightly.
Madam Li was poked into her spine by a word of hers, and the ugly and ungrateful side of the Li family was severely torn apart, and she couldn’t hold on for a while, staring at her resentfully.
Xiao Youning has relatives in the center of Madam Li’s bitter eyes.
In this world, it has always been easy to icing on the cake, but it is difficult to give charcoal in a snowy day. She could understand if the Li family treated her coldly after her father and brother’s accident, but the result was a divorce letter from the Li family.
She had just been sent to the wedding room, and the gongs and drums were screaming outside. In a blink of an eye, her husband removed even the wedding robe.
She pretended not to ruin Li Qingzhi’s future?
What is the reason for this? !
“Come here, please get Miss Xiao into the carriage and send it to Zhuangzi to take good care of her.”
Mrs. Li suddenly raised her voice and shouted.
Now that the skin is torn, there is no need to grind the chirp.
Now that the father and son of the Xiao family still don’t know how to convict them, she sends the people away first, so that Xiao Youning will not corrupt their Li family’s reputation outside.
If the emperor wants to sit down, then they will throw people out, dead or alive, just look at her good fortune!
Several sturdy women swarmed in immediately, rushing towards Xiao Youning aggressively.
Xiao Youning looked at the incoming person and felt bored. At this moment, he had already seen the Li family’s plan clearly. The cold sweat soaked his clothes and he could only step back in a panic.
After taking a step back, the leg touched the edge of the bed.
The inner room is just so big, where can she hide? !
From just now to now, her servant girl hasn’t appeared, and it was a little servant girl from the Li family who sent the news from her father and brother. She should have been vigilant just now, but in anxious and sad heart, she did not consider the attitude of the Li family towards her.
The stout woman was used to subdue her. She stepped back two steps, her arm was already grasped first.
“Let go! Since I have nothing to do with your Li family, I won’t have your Li family to worry about wherever I go!”
She slammed it desperately, and the opponent’s hands were like iron tongs, which was not something that the pampered boudoir girl could get rid of. On the contrary, it was held down more firmly by the people.
The wrist was twisted, and the body became a twisted arc. There was pain in the joints, and Xiao Youning was no longer willing to show a trace of shyness in front of the person who humiliated him, and at this time he couldn’t control the tears welling up.
“Let go of me!” She struggled, her eyes blurred.
Mrs. Li raised her chin slightly, and looked at her with a victorious gesture.
A little girl’s film, no matter how calm and sharp on the surface, is nothing more than a paper tiger, it will be shredded when it is torn.
“–Mother!” Li Qingzhi, who had not spoken, finally raised her head, just in time to see her tears falling.
Xiao Youning has a beautiful face, a pair of peachy eyes, always feeling affectionate when looking at people, even if I cry in embarrassment, I feel pity.
After all, Li Qingzhi was moved with compassion, and said to his mother in a discussing tone: “Mother, let’s tell You Ning well, that is, she is not an ignorant person, she must understand our painstaking efforts.”
“Ah—” The mother and son were talking, and the mother-in-law heard a painful cry, “You bite someone with a little hoof! Quickly, grab her!”
It turned out that Xiao Youning opened her mouth and bit her closest woman. She tried her best in resentment and saw blood in one bite. She was so frightened that the other women let go when she turned her head and told her to rush out.
“You trash!”
Mrs. Li’s chaotic mother-in-law was so angry that she didn’t have the time to control her son, and pointed at them angrily and arrested people.
But when they were about to pounce on Xiao Youning again, they were all frightened on the spot by the candlestick held in her hand.
Xiao Youning broke away from the servants, rushed to the long case not far from the bed, and did not hesitate to hold the candlestick on top in his hand.
The light of the candle brightened her eyes brighter.
She wiped the corners of her eyes with her backhand, holding the candlestick deliberately close to the floor hood on one side, and her eyes with mist turned around, her hatred and anger turned into provocation, and she said, “Come on.”
As she said, she also used the tongue of the candle to lift the hanging silk strips, and everyone stared in horror at the place where the tongue was instantly blackened and smoked.
“You Ning, Ning Ning, calm down. Mother has no other intentions. Now the Xiao family has been sealed by Jin Yiwei, I am afraid that you will leave the Li family nowhere else to stay.”
Li Qingzhi stretched out his hands, nervously soothing.
Xiao Youning laughed and said, “Li Qingzhi, do you believe it? Do you believe what you say?”
In the memory of the teenager who would rather fall off the horse by herself than skip over to protect herself, the teenager who broke her leg and smiled picturesquely and said that it didn’t hurt, but it was all an illusion!
Li Qingzhi was said to have a handsome face and his lips were murmured. He didn’t say a word for a long time.
“You don’t believe me, why bother to lie to me?!” She raised her hand again and saw the jade bracelet between her wrists.
That is her mother’s relic.
Her father told her that it was given by her grandmother when her mother was married. Her father told her that the most regrettable thing about her mother was that she couldn’t see her as an adult, and she couldn’t marry her.
Now she is married…Xiao Youning felt pain in her heart, her eyes blurred again with tears, but her eyes couldn’t be more firm.
It was summer, and the decorations in the house were all chiffon and gauze, swept by the tongue of fire held high by her, and the flammable fabric suddenly descended like a fire dragon.
With a coax, the entire floor covering was ignited.
The fire waves rushed towards the face, making people feel anxious on their skin, and the women were so scared that they yelled out of water.
Someone went to pull the screaming Mrs. Li, Li Qingzhi was also frightened by the fire and took a few steps back.
Xiao Youning lit a piece of floor covering, raised her hand to light the other side, she turned around and smiled at everyone in the house fled in embarrassment.
The scarlet wedding gown on her body was extremely gorgeous in the firelight, and the cinnabar mole under her eyes was hanging like teardrops, like weeping, but it made her bright face even more enchanting.
Li Qingzhi stared at her from a distance, his heart beating suddenly, as if seeing the girl who was so flamboyant and charming when she first met, she didn’t realize she was lost.
“She’s crazy! She wants to die and wants to pull us! Little prostitute!” Madam Li was helped by someone and stumbled to escape. Looking back, she saw her son was still there. She stretched out her hand to grab him and screamed sharply.
As she said earlier, this girl from the Xiao family was just a gangster.
I was spoiled by my elders and grew up. My ancestors were all martial arts, without my mother’s teaching, and I still have a fox-like face. What kind of lady education can I have!
The people in the Xifang walked clean in a blink of an eye, Xiao Youning threw the candlestick vigorously and threw it on the Qiangong bed.
Seeing the double-faced mandarin ducks being swallowed, she felt a burst of pleasure in her heart for no reason. The corners of her mouth were just raised, and the smoke made her choke and cough.
The fire had already burned to her feet. She looked back at the window behind the long case and stopped staying any longer. She opened the window and jumped out after climbing on the long case!
dead? !
Only when her brain is sick will she end up on her own!
Where can you die like this, let go of these disgusting things!
The window was half high, and Mrs. Li probably didn’t consider that she would set fire to jump through the window. No one was guarding her outside, which made it easy for her to escape.
Xiao Youning jumped out of the window and rolled around on the grass.
The phoenix crown fell, and her body was hurt by the stones on the ground, but she didn’t have time to pay attention to it, and she was about to run out with her skirt.
“Girl!” a surprised voice came.
Xiao Youning looked up and saw that it was Yuanguo, his dowry maid.
Yuanguo happily ran over when she saw her, and her hands were stained with blood.
“How did this happen?!” Xiao Youning was busy pulling her hands to look closely, Yuanguo waved her hand indifferently, “Girl leave this alone, let’s run, the Li family locks me up, I know something is going to happen! ”
After Yuanguo said, she dragged her away and trot away.
There were shouts of fire fighting outside, and the inner room had already become a sea of flames, and even the window sills she had crawled started burning.
The shadows piled on their heels, the noises were noisy, mixed with the sound of running footsteps and wind, all fell into Xiao Youning’s ears.
Her heart was pounding because of this.
Yuanguo had found a courtyard wall that could be turned out, and neatly climbed to the top of the wall first, and then reached out to drag her up.
She stepped down the wall this time and was firmly protected by Yuanguo without any injuries.
But from now on, I’m afraid no one can protect her like this anymore… Xiao Youning thought of the accident’s father and elder brother, her eyes were hot, and she almost cried again.
The back alley of Li’s house was connected to the lively long street outside, and the two rushed into the crowd together, but Xiao Youning suddenly stopped in place at this time.
“Girl?” Yuanguo didn’t move people, turned her head in surprise, and saw her girl actually carrying her skirt toward the door of Li’s house.
“girl!”
Yuanguo was about to be scared to death by her, and finally escaped. What did the girl do to go to Li’s house? !
Xiao Youning had never ran so fast before, and the people on the road looked at her strangely, and some were even pointing at her.
But she didn’t stop for a moment, until the door of Li’s house was right in front of her.
She finally stopped and looked up at the door of the Li family. She was not afraid of the strange gazes cast by passers-by. She shouted: “Today, your Li family is ungrateful. Seeing that my Xiao family is in trouble, she will betray her faith on the day of marriage. I, Xiao Youning, give up! I, Xiao Youning, is the daughter of a criminal minister, and I am not ashamed of the Li family that you made this way! Today, as evidenced by the emperor, my Xiao family and your Li Jiaen are cut off!”
The girl’s voice was loud, and the guard inside the door was alarmed and hurriedly came out to see the situation.
The people on the road are already in an uproar…
In the whole capital, no one knows that the Li family relied on the Xiao family to stand up, and they decided to be good for a hundred years.
