Chapter 292 Living is more painful than death
The three of them sat together, and Lin Jiaojiao and Lin Fen were the only ones talking the whole time.
The two of them were used to Lin Yun's silence, and she answered whenever they asked questions.
Lin Jiaojiao, like her parents, kept asking whether she was bullied by her classmates at school, whether she had good food, clothing and accommodation in Qingzhou, etc.
Her answer was invariably that everything was fine.
Seeing that she was unwilling to elaborate, Lin Jiaojiao stopped asking any more questions.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Lin Yun prepared to leave as it was getting late. Lin Jiaojiao did not try to keep her and sent her to the door of the store, watching her leave.
This brought her thoughts back to the first time she went to Nanshan City last year, when that person was also walking alone on the official road.
It turned out that he had only been gone for more than half a year.
But she felt that he had been gone for a long, long time.
She sighed deeply, went back to the backyard, held Liu Yunxi on her lap, and fed him snacks on the table.
Seeing this, Lin Fen also joined in feeding him, "Yunxi, look at Auntie Fen, Auntie Fen is feeding you. Oh, you are so good, as cute as our Xiao Mi."
Lin Jiaojiao's mind immediately popped up the image of Lin Bin's child Xiaomi, who was white and chubby like a lotus root doll.
She was really embarrassed about this, because from time to time there would be unsold bread and snacks in the cafeteria to be taken back for breakfast and afternoon tea, and many people would take their own portion back for their children, causing the children in Linjia Village to gain some weight.
The last time she saw Liu Xiuxiu, she had gained a lot of weight. She could only comfort Liu Ying that the child was still young and growing, and would naturally grow taller when he grew up.
Seeing how much Lin Fen liked children, she remembered that she had heard Lin's father talking about the village head looking for a son-in-law a few days ago, and she immediately started gossiping.
"Lin Fen heard that your mother is looking for a husband for you again. How about your wedding banquet soon?"
Lin Fen's face turned red after hearing this, and a figure appeared in his mind as he stuttered.
"Don't listen to other people's nonsense, it's not true."
Seeing her reaction, Lin Jiaojiao lowered her chin and stared at her with an ambiguous look.
"There is a situation."
Lin Fen was afraid that she would see through him and he couldn't stay any longer, so he immediately stood up and walked out.
"Oh, really, I don't have any. It's almost time. I'm going to Daiying Pavilion to pick up the goods first."
"I'm going too, let's go."
...
Lan Jiu leaned against the side of the carriage waiting for the people in the store to come out. Because he didn't wear his hair in a married bun or a veil, and because of his outstanding looks and unique temperament, he attracted a lot of women's attention.
Everyone was guessing whose servant this was; he looked quite unique.
It was not until a man wearing a plain veil hat appeared at the door of the study, followed by a pretty servant girl and walking towards the carriage, that people realized that the man was the nobleman's servant.
Suddenly, everyone's attention was focused on the young master. They hoped that a strong wind would blow up the gauze curtain covering the young master's face so that they could catch a glimpse of his handsome face.
Jiang Huai bought some storybooks. Yesterday, I read the storybook written by Fu Qi and suddenly felt that it was quite interesting and very suitable for killing time.
He had just walked to the carriage and was about to get in when he heard someone calling him from behind.
"Mr. Jiang?"
He turned his head in confusion and saw that the man was wearing a black robe and a black veil on his head. He could not see his face clearly. The only person who could identify his identity was the servant beside him, but unfortunately he had no impression of him.
When the man in the black hat saw that it was really Jiang Huai, he excitedly stepped forward and tried to hold him, but was stopped by Zhu Xue who was standing beside him.
"Who are you, sir?"
The man in the black hat was very excited and tried to get in front of Jiang Huai by grabbing the bamboo snow. "It's me, Mr. Jiang. I'm Xie Qingzhi."
Jiang Huai frowned and searched carefully for the name in his mind. It took him a while to find the person.
"Mr. Li?"
Xie Qingzhi felt that he hadn't heard someone call him like this for a long time, and tears suddenly filled his eyes.
"It's me, it's me. Mr. Jiang, I didn't expect you to come to Nanshan. How about we go to the front..."
"Are you alright?"
Jiang Huai interrupted his invitation coldly. He didn't know why Mr. Li appeared here. He had never interacted with him. He only knew him because of the incident of Lin Yiyan's disfigurement during the Chinese New Year, which was known to the whole city.
However, that night his servant confessed his crime and committed suicide. In addition, he had always been well-educated, polite and considerate, so many people did not believe that he would do such a vicious thing, so the public opinion on this matter soon died down.
Xie Qingzhi didn't expect to meet him here. He just felt that the servant next to him looked familiar. When he walked closer, he found that it was indeed Jiang Huai's personal servant. He immediately called out tentatively.
It's really him.
"I have some personal matters that I would like to ask Mr. Jiang for help. How about going..."
"Don't go."
Jiang Huai ruthlessly refused and turned around to get on the carriage. Xie Qingzhi immediately became anxious and pushed Zhu Xue away. When he was about to pull his sleeve, the man who had been silent beside the carriage quickly grabbed his hand and first pulled it and then pushed him back, and he fell to the side.
The black veil suddenly fell off, and the people around gasped.
The man half lying on the ground had a ferocious face and a scar running from his forehead to the corner of his mouth. There was a white pustule festering on the scar, which looked very disgusting.
"Ahhh!"
Xie Qingzhi covered his face and screamed. His servant hurriedly picked up the veil that fell on the ground and put it on his head. He was trembling all over and the voices of discussion could be heard in his ears.
"Oh my god, is this the son of the Xie family who married into Qingzhou? How did he become such a ghost?"
"His face is all rotten, so disgusting."
"Looks like this, you must have been divorced, right? Otherwise, why would you stay in Nanshan all the time..."
Jiang Huai was also surprised to see his current appearance, and then frowned, but he didn't want to stay any longer and turned around to get on the carriage.
Zhu Xue felt sick and got goose bumps when she saw this, and she quickly followed Jiang Huai and got into the carriage.
Lan Jiu, who had been standing nearby, curled his lips and looked with contempt at the man who was sitting on the ground and shouting like a madman.
Fragile and stupid.
When he knew that he had hired someone to kill Lin Jiaojiao, he wanted to cut him into pieces. Unfortunately, before he could take action, his master had already destroyed his appearance himself.
Then he could only start with his ointment.
After all, it is more painful for such people to live like this than to die.
Lan Jiu got on the carriage and drove away. Xie Qingzhi, who was collapsed on the ground, heard the sound of the wheels turning, and immediately stood up and ran over, shouting by the window.
"Master Jiang, don't go! Please help me! Take me back to Qingzhou! I just want to see Qiong Niang, please! Don't go! Wuuuuuu... please! Or you can help me take a letter to her! Please..."
There were more and more people watching on the street, and Lan Jiu had a hard time driving the carriage faster. Jiang Huai also felt a headache as he looked at the person who was holding on to the window and refused to let go.
"Lanjiu, stop the car."
