Chapter 373

Chapter 373: Chapter 373, seeking to marry Qiao ruoyi

When the royal ship was about to reach Lin ‘an, Qiao Jinniang and Lu Chen returned to the ship.

When they arrived at the Lin ‘an dock, they were kowtowed by all the officials and subjects of Jiangnan. The mighty momentum grew, and the Lin ‘an city was also unprecedentedly lively. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

In Chang ‘an, the Qiao residence was covered with white silk. Zheng Xiao and marquis an Yuan did not go with them. They stayed in Chang ‘an to oversee things. After all, the northern desert kingdom on the border of Chang ‘an had been quite stable.

When Luo Wei’s coffin arrived at the Qiao’s residence, marquis an Yuan could not care less about the rule that the elders could not visit the deceased. He let out a deep sigh.

Luo Wei and he were old friends. Back then, he had chosen Luo Wei as his son-in-law because of his excellent character. Over the past few years, Luo Wei had lived up to his expectations. With the help of the Qiao’s, he had become a great general.

Qiao ruoyi wore linen clothes and brought the coffin into the familiar courtyard. This courtyard had been moved over by her after her marriage.

She had originally planned to move out. She did not have a good relationship with marquis an yuan, so they would quarrel whenever they met. It was Luo Wei who had persuaded her to stay in Marquis an Yuan’s manor. Luo Wei was more like a father’s son than she was.

He gave them the courtyard that was second only to Qiao Lui and Fu Lu.

There were traces of Luo Wei in every blade of grass and every tree here. Although Qiao ruoyi and Qiao Jinniang were sisters, their preferences were very different.

Qiao Jinniang loved the flourishing and beautiful scenery of flowers. Qiao ruoyi preferred leaves and did not like flowers, so Luo Wei planted all kinds of green plants in the garden that would not bloom.

He also went to the deep mountains of the Qinling mountains and dug up a lot of mountain soil to plant bamboo and orchid grass. There were some red wild fruits on the mountain soil. When Qiao Ruoyi saw them last year, she thought they were weeds.

Luo Wei told her that they were a kind of sour and sweet wild fruit. When he was still young and had not been adopted by the Luo family, he had relied on these wild fruits to feed his stomach. That was why he called them immortal fruits.

Luo Wei said that he would be able to eat them this year.

Now that Qiao Ruoyi saw the red wild fruit growing on the mountain soil in the courtyard, she thought that the dried tears were flowing down again. She went over to pick a red wild fruit and mixed it with her tears and put it into her mouth.

“Luo Wei, you’re lying. This is clearly not sweet.”

Seeing Qiao ruoyi like this, Zheng Xiao felt heartache and heartache. He said to Qiao ruoyi, “The courtyard you lived in before your marriage has already been ordered to be cleaned up. Don’t live here anymore in the future. It will be sad if you see things and Miss People.”

Qiao ruoyi cried, “Mother, I miss him so much. I really miss him so much that he can get up and taste the wild fruit that he said was very sweet with me.”

Zheng Xiao’s throat was extremely sore. He let down his tears and said, “Luo Wei must have a spirit in heaven that wants you to be happy.”

“That’s right. He told me in the end that he wanted me to live well. However, he is no longer by my side. I really can’t Live Well.”

Qiao ruoyi said with a lump in her throat.

It had already been more than a month. Qiao ruoyi still could not accept this fact.

“Madam, fifth miss, the Xie family’s head sent a post saying that he wants to meet fifth miss. Master Hou found out about this and took the whip out.”

Zheng Xiao said anxiously, “Is he afraid that the words of those scholars won’t kill him?”

Zheng Xiao quickly went out.

An Yuanhou’s eyes were red. When he saw Xie Yun at the door, he fiercely lashed out with the whip. An yuanhou had been practicing martial arts since he was young. In the past, he had killed countless enemies on the battlefield with this whip.

Now that the whip had hit Xie Yun’s tender flesh, it immediately cut through his silk round-collared robe, causing his flesh to split open.

“You still have the cheek to come to my Qiao family’s door! All of them died because of you, Luo Wei. My daughter and granddaughter almost lost their lives in the hands of bandits!”

An yuanhou lashed out with his whip again. “You even took away ni Shang! Back then, it was you who didn’t want to be responsible for Ruo Yi and her daughter. How can you have the face to come to my Qiao family now?”

Zheng Xiao came out and held an Yuanhou’s hand that was raising the whip. “Enough. If you continue to beat him, someone will die.”

An yuanhou was still unable to vent his anger.

Xie Yun’s body was burning from the two lashes, he raised his robe and half-knelt in front of an Yuanhou. “Marquis, you are right. I, Xie Yun, can not shirk the responsibility of General Luo’s death. I am willing to take fifth Miss Qiao as my wife so that General Luo can rest in peace in heaven.”

Zheng Xiao let go of marquis an Yuan’s hand. “Marquis, go ahead and Fight!”

What did Xie Yun just say?

I did not kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me. Although Xie Yun was innocent in Luo Wei’s death, he did die because of him.

Zheng Xiao, who had a good temper, said angrily, “Back then, you looked down on Ruo Yi as a concubine’s daughter. You said that a concubine’s daughter was only fit to be a concubine. Back then, Ruo Yi was pregnant and was ridiculed by others. It was Luo Wei who married her and protected her in every way.

“Luo Wei helped you raise your daughter. Now, you want to marry Ruo Yi in the name of letting Luo Wei rest in peace. What do you take our daughter of the Qiao family as?”

Marquis an Yuan said, “Back then, you looked down on the daughter of the Qiao family’s concubine. Today, you are not worthy to be the daughter of the Qiao family’s concubine. Luo Wei’s corpse is not even cold yet. You said that you would marry his wife and let him rest in peace. Do you still have any face?

“Get lost. Don’t appear in front of our Qiao family in the future. Also, hurry up and return Nichang. If she isn’t sensible, I won’t allow my granddaughter to become someone else’s!”

Xie Yun frowned and said, “Nichang is my daughter.”

“Bah!”Marquis an Yuan said in a bad mood, “Nichang’s surname is Qiao. Men, chase him away. In the future, don’t let him come within five miles of our Qiao family. Once he comes near, beat him fiercely!”

..

Luo Wei’s body could not be left unburied anymore. Therefore, he was buried in the middle of April.

Luo Wei was originally a little beggar. He had no parents, and the Luo family did not have any ancestral graves. Therefore, he was buried in the ancestral grave of the Qiao family.

Along the way, Qiao ruoyi cried and fainted countless times in the sedan chair. When she reached the ancestral grave of the Qiao family, she saw the gold-thread nan mu coffin being nailed up and placed into the tomb chamber.

Qiao ruoyi followed him into the tomb chamber and lay on the coffin for a long time, unwilling to go out.

After she went out, in order to prevent tomb robbers, the tomb chamber here would be completely filled with large stones and soil.

She really could not see Luo Wei again.

Hearing the voice of Little Nichang calling for her mother at the entrance of the tomb chamber, Qiao Ruoyi just went out. After she went out, dozens of people carried a large stone and completely sealed the tomb chamber.

Qiao Ruoyi’s heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife when she saw the big rock. It was a magnificent scene in early summer, but it made her feel extremely cold.

Nichang broke free from Xie Yun’s hand and ran to Qiao Ruoyi’s side. She kept calling for her mother, which made Qiao Ruoyi come back to her senses.

Qiao ruoyi squatted down and hugged nichang. “Nichang.”

Little Nichang asked, “Mother.”

Qiao ruoyi raised her eyes to see Xie Yun and said, “When I promised to give Nichang to you, I didn’t know that father and mother would be so unwilling. I’m afraid I have to go back on my word.”

Xie Yun said, “It’s okay. She’s only willing to call me uncle now. Only if you agree to marry me will nichang be willing to call me father. “Once you’re willing to marry me, marquis an Yuan and the Marquise naturally can’t stop Nichang from entering my xie residence.”

Hearing this, Qiao Ruoyi raised her hand and fiercely slapped Xie Yun’s face. “This is in front of my husband’s grave, my husband has just been buried!”
