Chapter 274 Wuyang
The old lady couldn't lift it up in one breath.

She supported her forehead, and was fed a few Qingxin pills by the mother, before she managed to recover.

She looked at Xiao Peilan, her cloudy eyes were full of anger and helplessness, "Lan'er, I just want to ask you, if I die here today, will you still marry Xie Rongzhi?!"

The girl burst into tears, "Grandmother?"

The old lady said angrily: "You are the only granddaughter I raised by my side. I personally taught you all your female red embroidery, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I have no doubts about your training! And now you are doing it for a man! If you disobey me, Lan'er, is this your filial piety?! I want to see, how do you Xiao Peilan choose between my life and this man! Come here, bring a knife!"

The nuns who served her knelt down to dissuade her, and some maids cried and grabbed Xiao Peilan's sleeves to persuade her, "Miss, please let the old lady go! There are so many good men in the world, why do they have to hang themselves here?" On a tree?!"

Xiao Peilan burst into tears.

Those words of grandmother, to her, every word is heartbreaking.

If she chooses her grandmother, it is tantamount to betraying love.

Choosing Zhi is equivalent to abandoning filial piety.

In fact, the real embarrassment has never been grandma, but her!

At this moment, the crowd suddenly gave way.

The old man on crutches came staggeringly supported by a servant.

He was nearly seventy years old, wearing a dark blue satin Confucian robe, with a calm and gentle demeanor, exactly the same as Xie Rongzhi.

Following his arrival, the old lady suddenly stood up from the armchair!
She glared at him, pointed at him and cursed: "Why are you here?! How do you have the face to see me?!"

The old man smiled gently and said, "Come and see my grandson. Ah Xi, it's been decades, you should change your temper. My Rongzhi is a perfect match for your granddaughter, why don't you just nod your head and accept this?" Marriage? If it's still because of that incident back then, I've already apologized to you, haven't I?"

The old lady just sneered, "I swore that I would never see you again in this life. Xie He, unless the laurel tree at the end of the alley blooms again, I will absolutely, absolutely not agree to this marriage!"

After speaking, he led the servants into the mansion expressionlessly.

The old man of the Xie family stood in front of the mansion, sighing silently.

A moment later, he personally helped Xie Rongzhi and Xiao Peilan up, his voice full of apology, "My good boy, I have wronged you..."

"Grandfather, what happened back then that made Mrs. Xiao hate our family so much?" Xie Rongjing came over curiously.

The old man of the Xie family looked at the laurel tree at the end of the alley.

The hundred-year-old osmanthus tree, although its branches are still huge, has lost its leaves a long time ago, and it has been dead for an unknown number of years.

He sighed and shook his head as memories of the past came to mind.

……

Xiao Peilan was brought back to the Xiao Mansion by the nuns, and the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only Xie Rongzhi kneeling outside the gate of the mansion stubbornly.

The sunshine in early spring brings a slight chill.

At the entrance of Wuyi Alley, someone came with a red umbrella.

It was a ten-year-old girl with sickly pale skin, but her appearance was extraordinarily delicate and lovely.

She walked to Xie Rongzhi's side, and said in a soft voice, "Big brother."

Xie Rongzhi raised his head and said with a smile: "So it's Xiao Wuyang, what are you doing here if you're not recuperating in the mansion?"

The person who came was the eldest lady of the Zhao family, Zhao Wuyang.

She had a strange disease since she was a child, and her skin could not be exposed to sunlight, so she seldom appeared in front of people.

And his personality is quite withdrawn, meeting Xie Rongzhi was purely an accident.

The little girl squatted down beside him, and leaned the little red umbrella towards him, "Big brother, my mother came back from Gusu and said that you robbed the Gu family's daughter-in-law."

Xie Rongzhi patted her little head, "From now on, she will no longer be the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. Little Wuyang, Lan'er will become the wife of the big brother."

"Does big brother like that sister?"

"Well, I like it very much! Even if her grandmother serves me with eighteen instruments of torture, I still like her!"

Xie Rongzhi admitted generously, with smiles in his eyes.

Zhao Wuyang narrowed his eyes.

She got up quickly, "Big brother, my mother won't let me go out for too long, I should go home."

Xie Rongzhi agreed, and told her to be careful on the road.

The little girl in red clothes, holding a red silk umbrella, walks alone in the bird clothes alley.

She lowered her head and grabbed a lively bird from her wide sleeve.

"Little bird, little bird, I heard that my elder brother was injured, so I just wanted to give you to him to relieve his boredom. But now he likes other girls, your existence is superfluous!"

under the umbrella,

Still immature little hands,
Squeezed the bird to death without mercy!

She threw away the bird's body and left Bird Clothes Lane alive and kicking.

A ten-year-old girl with an innocent face.

The little red umbrella is spinning in her hand,

Keep all the sun and warmth out.
