146. No Looking Back
In this house, Mei, standing at the door of the main hall, was furious and said angrily: "Stop him!"
Several servants stepped forward, but were beaten down by Fu Shaoyun in a few seconds. Fu Shaoyun pursed his lips tightly, his face was unprecedentedly cold, but there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes. He pulled the bridle of the horse and stood up straight in front of him, looking at Mei and said, "Mom, what's wrong with Sister Xi? Why don't you agree with me to marry her? If you don't agree, I will take her out of the capital and go to Jiangnan and eastern Guangdong, which will never be hindered."
Mei was so angry that he felt that he was obsessed with the Luyang Marquis Mansion. "The Su family has already engaged to the Luyang Marquis Mansion. Where do you want to take her? Hire as a wife and run as a concubine. If you really dare to take her away, I will never admit that there is such a daughter-in-law at home! Without the words of parents and the will of a matchmaker, you can only be considered a matchmaker without a matchmaker..."
Mei was anxious for a moment and said nothing. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Fu Shaoyun's face darkened. She immediately stopped, afraid that Fu Shaoyun would run away from home impulse, so she softened her voice and advised: "Brother Yun, think about it carefully, isn't the marriage that Mom told you? The dignified and beautiful daughter of the Minister of Rites stands with you, making a world-class design, and is better than Su Xi..."
Fu Shaoyun had replaced her many times before and asked her to go to the Su family to propose marriage. Mei always looked down on Su Xi and felt that Su Xi had no appearance and no talent and virtue, so how could she deserve her son? Not to mention her mother Yin and her mother were not in the same way. If she really became a relative, wouldn’t she be unhappy for herself?
Mei family dragged on again and again, but who knew that there was news that Su Xi had already gotten into rendezvous with Li Yan from the Marquis of Luyang. She thought it was just right, and her son should give up. Unexpectedly, after Fu Shaoyun learned the news, he was hit hard and did not eat for three days and three nights. He said early this morning that he would take the Su family's daughter to leave the capital, and even his parents didn't want it.
Before Mei could finish her words, she saw Fu Shaoyun suddenly kneeling straight on the ground, kowtowed three times at her, and then turned over without saying a word. Without waiting for everyone to react, she rode out of the Duke Qing's Mansion.
"elder brother!"
It was not until Fu Yi's voice sounded that Mei came back to her senses. She felt her blood surge and she was dizzy, "Brother Yun!"
Fu Shaoyun left the Duke of Qingguo Mansion and went directly to the back door of Su Mansion.
Just as the people from the Marquis of Luyang came to hire him, the things were carried into the Su family one by one. The manager was happy and directed his servants to do things. The old man Su Qingbo and the eldest man Su Zhen were both smiling and talking to the people from the Marquis of Luyang.
Fu Shaoyun stopped suddenly, looked at the betrothal gift, and suddenly remembered what Mei had just said - "Teach as a wife, run as a concubine."
If he took Young Young away with him on impulse, then she would never be able to be famous for her whole life. Besides, she had been engaged and he had never asked her about her wishes. Will she be willing to go with her? What does she think of him? What if she and Li Yan are in love?
Fu Shaoyun gradually calmed down. He was reluctant to let young and young people suffer grievances for their own selfish desires. But when he thought of her marrying others, he was very unwilling.
The sky was dark and the dusk was in full swing. Fu Shaoyun stood from dawn to dark, and the place was hidden, but no one noticed him.
Until the betrothal gifts were all gone, the gate of the Su Mansion closed with a "bang", and his heart also shook with the door, and then fell heavily.
Fu Shaoyun stood outside the Su Mansion for a day and night. The next morning, he rode his horse away alone, without alarming anyone. He did not return to the Duke of Qing, nor left Beijing. He just walked all the places he had taken Su Xi to, Yuhe Tower, Jade Tower, Four Seasons Hall... Every time he went to a place, he could think of Su Xi's pink apple face. Her figure was round and she was not a beauty in the eyes of the people of the times, but Fu Shaoyun thought she was the best like this, especially when she smiled, her big eyes were bent into a pair of crescent moons, which made his heart melt.
...
Ten days later, the people from the Duke of Qingguo's Mansion finally found Fu Shaoyun. He was sitting in a tavern, drinking all the wine, but he was not sober.
The servants of Duke Qing's mansion went up to help him. He staggered up, his face as white as paper. He fainted after walking a few steps. Fu Shaoyun's illness lasted for more than half a month. The doctor said that alcoholism hurt his spleen and stomach and needed to be kept. He could not drink alcohol in the future. However, Fu Shaoyun ignored it and still drank wine as water. Mei was so anxious that he cried and scolded, and he almost knelt down and begged him.
Half a year later, Fu Shaoyun heard that Su Xi and Li Yan got married, and touched the place on his chest, and felt empty and had been poached. Later, Mei forced him to marry Bai Tan, the daughter of the Minister of Rites. He nodded, but the person was numb.
On the day of marriage, he wore a big red wedding robe and the bride was holding the bride's head, which was incompatible with the joys and celebrations around him. The wedding was done under the guidance of Quanfu people. Fu Shaoyun forgot how he lived that night, and felt that it was long, hopeless, and thoughtless.

Let’s talk about the King of Jin’s Mansion.
Wei Qing was also at the age of being a kinship. King Wei Liankun of Jin and the chief minister of the cabinet, Yin Zhouxing, had known each other for many years. After discussion, he decided to engage Wei Qing and Yin Qiuqiu, the second girl of the Yin Mansion.
Wei Qing thought for a long time before he remembered who Yin Qiuqiu was. He had no special thoughts about women, but felt that it was like dressing and eating, which was a need. If Yin Qiuqiu had not touched his reverse scale, he might have married her.
The content of Wei Qing's conversation with Yin Zhouxing was heard by Yin Qiuqiu outside the door. Yin Qiuqiu threatened him with this. If she did not get engaged with her, she would tell the people of the Yu Prince Yu's Mansion about this. Who would not know that the struggle between the Yu Prince Yu's Mansion and the Jin Mansion in the past two years is that if Wei Yuan, the Prince of Yu, took Wei Qing's handle, it would be a great threat to Wei Qing.
When Yin Qiuqiu said this, she raised her face, her eyebrows were firm and a hint of cunning.
However, her slightly trembling arms betrayed her. She was too young and she wrote everything she wanted on her face.
Wei Xu's face was as usual, and his thin lips slowly curled a smile. The sinisterness in his eyes was hidden deeply. He raised his hand and pinched her chin. His voice was slow: "I want to marry me so much?"
Yin Qiuqiu pursed her lips tightly, looked at him straight, without saying a word.
Wei Qing thought about it, Shaoqing, "It's not impossible."
Yin Qiuqiu opened her eyes wide, her heartbeat suddenly, and she looked at the person in front of her incredible way.
But Yin Qiuqiu didn't know that Wei Qing had a half sentence after this sentence-
"See if you have any blessings to save you."
So the marriage between Yin Qiuqiu and Wei Qing was settled, and the day was set in March of the following year. Yin Qiuqiu seemed to be dreaming, but she didn't expect that she would convince Wei Qing so easily, with a smile on her face and began to prepare her wedding dress and dowry for herself.
When she thought of the handsome and elegant prince of Jin, who was about to become her husband, could not help but be happy. The girl who was longing for her in Beijing would be her husband in the future... However, the good times did not last long. Not long after, when Yin Qiuqiu was traveling to the lake in her backyard, the boat suddenly stopped in the middle of the lake. The maid on the boat dived and swam away. The board of the boat began to leak water and sank down little by little.
Yin Qiuqiu called for help, but deep in the middle of the lake, there were half a person-high lotus pods around her. She shouted for a long time, but no one came over.
Yin Qiuqiu sank into the water in such despair and drowned.
When the news reached Wei Qing's ears, Wei Qing turned a page of the book without changing his expression, without even raising his eyebrows, "Do not leave any clues."
Li Hong should be so, he withdrew.
As a result, the marriage between the Prince of Jin and the Yin Mansion was naturally given up. Not long after, Princess Yuan of Jin began to busy looking at another marriage for him. The other party was Han Yufu, the daughter of the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion. What was Yuan's plan? Wei Qing knew in his heart that the Han family and Yuan were a little related. After Han Yufu married into the Prince of Jin Mansion, Yuan could reach out to Yunjinzhai to find a way out for her two sons.
Wei Lu leaned against the iron wooden chair and looked at the carved beams above his head, and suddenly remembered the Ninth Girl of the Su family.
The girl with round face, delicate facial features and sweet words, I heard that she seemed to have married to the Luyang Marquis Mansion? The Luyang Marquis Mansion is not a good place. It has been declining over the years. Now she lives by relying solely on Zu Yin. It is undoubtedly aggrieved to marry the Su family's daughter.
Why did he suddenly think of her? Wei Qing raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows and closed his eyes. Even if he had any ideas, the other party had already married a wife. He would not have been so rebellious and forced to occupy other people's wives. Besides, the girl saw him like a mouse and ran away without waiting for him to say a word. Is he scary? Wei Qing touched his chin, thinking about it, so he wouldn't have it.
*
This thought just flashed through, and the life of Wei Hun was still the same, and he never saw the ninth girl of the Su family again.
But what he didn't expect was that when she saw Su Xi again, she was dying.
Wei Qing was appointed by Emperor Zhaoyuan to go to the northwest to provide disaster relief. On the way back, he passed by Chong'an Mountain and saw a carriage lying along the roadside. There were two maids in the carriage, unconscious. There seemed to be someone under the cliff. Wei Qing went over to check and saw a snow-green figure lying in the forest.
When he walked up to him and looked at the blood-stained apple face, Wei Xu was stunned.
Su Xi knocked her head when she fell off the cliff, and there were many scars on her body. Wei Xi went over to check it out and saw that her left leg was broken and her heart and lungs were broken. She was afraid she could not be saved. He did not let Su Xi move, and immediately ordered someone to investigate the matter, and asked someone to notify Su Mansion and Luyang Marquis Mansion.
"Cough..." Su Xi only felt a severe pain in her chest. As soon as she coughed, a stream of blood surged out of her mouth. She was drowsy and couldn't see who the person in front of her was. She grabbed the sleeves of the visitor with her consciousness and opened her mouth. Her voice was so weak that she could hardly hear it. "The top of the mountain...Li Yan..."
Wei Qing thought she wanted to see her husband, so she paused, but did not break away from her hand, and said patiently: "I have ordered someone to notify him, and he will come soon."
But Su Xi shook her head, the more she wanted to say, the more she couldn't speak. A tear overflowed from the corner of her eyes, she sniffed, and finally let go of his sleeves, slowly closed her eyes, and never opened them again.
Half an hour later, everyone from Su's Mansion and Luyang Marquis Mansion came. Yin hugged Su Xi's body and cried uncontrollably, and the eldest master Su Yang also looked sad, while Su Xi's nominal husband Li Yan stood beside him without saying a word.
The people from the Su family took Su Xi back and vowed to find out the cause and effect of the matter. Later, it was found that Su Xi went up the mountain with Li Yan that day, but Li Yan disappeared, but Su Xi was lying alone under the cliff. How could the Su family give up now? They must let the Li family give an explanation.
Later, although Li Yan admitted that he had not taken good care of Su Xi, he accidentally let her fall off the cliff.
Wei Xu felt that this matter was not as simple as that, so he secretly asked Li Hong and Chang Hu to investigate. It took him a little longer to know what was going on.
In addition to Su Xi and Li Yan, the wife of Prince Yu, Fu Yi, also went to Daci Temple together. On the way back, Su Xi and Fu Yi's carriage were out of control at the same time. The horse pulling the carriage rushed forward, and there was a cliff below. In desperation, Li Yan jumped onto Fu Yi's carriage without hesitation, held the reins tightly, and turned the direction of the carriage.
Su Xi was not so lucky. The coachman was not as good as Li Yan's reaction in time, and he rolled off the cliff with his men and carriage.
That's why Wei Xu saw the scene before.
In order to protect Fu Yi, Li Yan secretly sent her back to Prince Yu's Mansion, and then came back to look for Su Xi.
"Criminal Master..." After Li Hong finished speaking, he saw that his prince's face was as deep as water, and he couldn't help but speak.
Wei Shi withdrew his mind and clicked on the desktop, "Go and check what happened to Li Yan and Fu Yi."
"Yes." Li Hongdao.
With this breakthrough, Li Yan and Fu Yi have a lot of things to do. Li Yan admires Fu Yi, and there is also a portrait of Fu Yi in the study, and even has been involved in private. He has never settled his wife Su Xi for two years. When Li Yan married Su Xi, he was just a springboard for the Su family and wanted to take the opportunity to take the lead. Now that such a thing has happened, the relationship between the Li family and the Su family naturally cannot be maintained, and it has completely broken the face.
Wei Qing thought about it and ordered someone to send evidence of Li Yan and Fu Yi's private sex to Wei Yuan. Within a few days, it was true that Prince Yu's wife had been divorced.
Fu Yi was unfaithful and had a bad reputation and was sent to Jingyuan Temple.
Half a year later, Emperor Zhaoyuan abdicated and Wei Shi ascended the throne to become the new emperor. The first one to be rectified was the Li family of the Marquis of Luyang.
The Marquis of Luyang planned to ask for a title of crown prince for his son and inherit the position of Marquis of Luyang. However, Wei Qing completely deprived the Marquis of the Li family of the marquis on the grounds that Li Yan had "corrupt virtues and were hard to write about", and demoted the family to common people and drove them back to their hometown.
Not long after, it was reported that Li Yan was assassinated on the way back to Yuzhou and was killed on the spot.
Fu Yi from Jingyuan's temple also committed suicide soon after.
After Wei Shi ascended the throne, he ate and ate at night, and quickly finished the old stall left by Emperor Zhaoyuan. In his spare time, he occasionally remembered the girl under the cliff. His forehead was broken, and a stream of blood flowed down his cheeks to his chin. His eyes were clear and black, with a trace of pitiful voice. Just like the little girl from Mingjue Temple, he looked at him with his head and eyes raised, his voice was sweet and glutinous, and he carefully called him "brother".
Wei Qing was stunned. When he came to his senses, he found that the memorial on the case had not been turned for a long time.
Why didn't he stop at the beginning? If he took the jade bean cake in her hand, would she still die?
The next day, after the morning court, Wei Shi did not return to the imperial study room, but ordered people to prepare a carriage and go to the foot of Qingshui Mountain.
——Su Xi was buried in this place.
Wei Shi tightened the reins and left everyone in place. He drove forward. He looked at the tombstone in front from a distance. There were a row of words on it, and he couldn't see clearly. He guessed that it should be "The Tomb of Su Xi, the young girl of Su's family". The tomb was not big, and it should be because people often came. The surroundings were cleanly clean and light yellow flowers and plants were planted. There were snacks in front of the tombstone, totaling three plates, lotus root powder, osmanthus cake, jujube paste yam cake and green bean cake, and the top was clean, probably only placed this morning.
Wei Qing stood here and looked for a long time, until the sun rose above his head, and he stood for two hours. The eunuch behind him was anxious and wanted to get up but didn't dare to go forward. Then he walked to the tombstone, bent down and picked a handful of yellow flowers, and gently placed it next to the three plates of snacks. He stood up and looked at the words on the inscription, reached out and tried to touch the two words "Su Xi", but he held it in the air but stopped again.
He turned around, strode away, rode his horse and met with the waiter waiting behind him, and whipped away without looking back.
Chapter completed!
