Back Off, Let Me Come

Shen Guo, Qudian, Zhai Mansion.

It was a happy event for Brother Zhai Huan to return from his travels.

The house may not have been lively for a long time, so it stands to reason that the celebration should be properly organized. But no one expected that the Zhai Mansion would hang up white curtains and decorate it with white flowers, obviously to organize a funeral.

The servants in the house even tiptoed softly.

Afraid of making noise and disturbing the master of the house.

This incident spread to the market, and the people were all sighing.

Without him, the person who died in this funeral in the Zhai Mansion was not the owner of the Zhai Mansion, but the wife of the eldest son of the famous Zhai family in Qudian.

The story of the eldest son Zhai Huan and the ill-fated girl was once a legend, but now we are separated forever.

"Oh, what a pity..."

When talking about this matter, everyone felt sad.

This woman and Zhai Huan have been married since childhood. The woman was born into a noble family, and the two families were originally well-matched. However, something unexpected happened, and something happened at the girl's home, affecting the whole family, her family name was in decline, and her appearance was accidentally ruined.

Everyone thought Zhai Huan would cancel the engagement.

There is a huge difference in status between the two. Even if Zhai Huan regrets his marriage, the world will not blame him. If he can generously help the woman find another reliable marriage, it will be a good talk, but Zhai Huan can always act beyond ordinary people. Anticipate.

Not only did he fight against all odds to support his future in-law's family, he also took good care of his unmarried fiancée.

No one can fault it.

If someone talks about this woman's appearance, they may have to compete with Zhai Huan. The latter will use her strength to silence those who talk nonsense, and has publicly stated more than once that only she can be the wife of the Zhai family. It doesn't matter how he looks, nor does his family background matter. He is not greedy for human beauty, and he doesn't have much ambition that needs to be achieved through the influence of the Yue family. She is very suitable!

As soon as this statement came out, how many girls were envious?

The people of Qudian all know that, if nothing else, the eldest son of the Zhai family will marry the woman after he returns from his travels. They are somewhat looking forward to it but also a little anxious - it feels like the relationship they have been chasing for many years will finally come true and be happy.

If nothing else, there was an accident.

Zhai Huan and his cousin Zhai Le returned by boat.

Unexpectedly, Shen Wang Ji Shuji gathered a crowd of guests on that luxurious boat and laughed and chatted with a group of talented people and celebrities. She was very happy.

The river breeze was blowing, and Shuji, who was drunk, saw a tall figure like an immortal from a distance, and took a surprised look.

【Who is this boy? 】 Shuji asked under the influence of wine.

【who? 】

[Looks like Zhai Yuewen...]

[It’s Zhai Yuewen, that’s right. The one next to him is Zhai Xiaofang. Are these two back from their travels? 】

Shuji: [Zhai Yuewen, Zhai Xiaofang? 】

A scholar said: [The Qu Dian Zhai family has a double talent, one in literature and one in martial arts. They are both extremely talented and enviable. 】

His breath was a little sour.

Shuji became interested and looked at the group of young celebrities around her with no interest at all. Although these people called themselves celebrities, they were just false names created by their families for marketing. They just had good-looking faces. Shu Ji liked them quite a bit at first, but compared to the two people she just saw, they were just vulgar and vulgar, with only appearance but no substance, which made her instantly lose her appetite.

Shuji smiled and said: "Such a beautiful person... now that I have time, I should pay a visit..."

All the young celebrities looked at each other.

Most of them are people from Qudian or neighboring counties of Qudian, and are very familiar with Zhai's Zhai Huan - tsk, this guy is someone else's child. They are not only deeply impressed but also have serious psychological shadow - they are also very familiar with Shuji. .

Shu Ji is the only daughter of the current Queen Mother.

The only sister of the king.

This brother and sister also had a hard time when they were young. Their mother, the Queen Mother, was originally a maid in Yeting. By chance, she got pregnant by the old king, and she remained auspicious throughout her life.

The old king had very few heirs, so it stands to reason that the brother and sister should be highly valued, but the old king was naturally cowardly, and the real power was in the hands of the queen at that time.

The brother and sister plus the biological mother are suffering a lot.

Until the queen and the old king sent each other to the west, all the seedlings under the old king's knees were dead.

After a long search by the ministers, the brother and sister were found. The three of them turned over and felt proud.

They immediately used cruel methods to kill those who had bullied them. More than a hundred maids and eunuchs died tragically.

The Queen Mother has been poor all her life, and has been extremely luxurious since she came to power. The King of the Kingdom does whatever he wants, and is sensitive and suspicious by nature. When he finds out who looks down on him, he will come up with countless ways to torture people to death.

In comparison, Shu Ji is much more "normal".

She likes men.

Especially young men with good family background and good looks.

She is Wang Ji, one of the most noble women in the world, and she deserves to be paired with the most handsome man in the world. She has raped married men on the street. As long as she likes him, she will get it.

If force fails, then use force. This time, they targeted Zhai Huan with the same intention.

Shuji said dissatisfiedly: "Are you in trouble?" 】

One person said: [Zhai Yuewen has an unmarried wife. 】

Shuji chuckled: "I haven't passed the door yet." 】

She can get it after passing the door.

He asked the woman who she was.

Everyone in Qudian knew about this matter, and several celebrities did not hide it, but they also hinted that Zhai Yuewen should not be offended easily. Shu Ji has a gorgeous appearance, and her eyes are full of mature charm, and she also pretends to be emotional about this wonderful story.

Several celebrities thought that Shuji had given up her idea, and while they felt a little relieved, they also felt a little sour.

They were not valued at home, their abilities were mediocre, and they could only show off their faces. For their future, they had to flatter and flatter this extravagant Wang Ji. Zhai Huan was just passing by and aroused his interest...

Tsk, that’s unfair.

For several days, Shuji had no movement.

When the Zhai brothers returned from their trip, everyone in the Zhai family was as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year. Even the servants who served them got two extra months' wages. Zhai Huan and his wife visited the clan elders according to etiquette.

After working hard for two or three days, I finally had time to take a rest.

"Brother, leave the rest to me. You can go and see my sister-in-law..." There was no one around, Zhai Le couldn't sit still, Zhai Huan's eyelids trembled, and he was about to speak out any corrections.

but--

Because his cousin is considerate and sensible, he won't teach him a lesson this time. Zhai Huan brought a lot of exquisite gifts to visit his future wife-in-law's house. He and his fiancée talked for a while across the screen. They were both shy when talking about their wedding date. All preparations for the wedding of the two families have been made, except for the return of Zhai Huan.

Put it on the agenda, and the slowest time will be this half year.

Zhai Huan did not expect that this would be the last time.

After the wedding date is finalized, the man and woman are not allowed to see each other again.

Zhai Huan still has to be busy with family affairs.

After being away for a long time, even he needed some time to familiarize himself with what happened, figure out the situation, and find time to hunt wild geese himself, so he left for a few days. A few days later, he rode back on horseback and achieved a decent harvest. He captured two large wild geese alive and tied them tightly. Zhai Huan was in a bright mood, with a smile on his lips.

Until Zhai Le came in a hurry on horseback.

"Why are you so panicked?" He looked at Zhai Le's expression, his heart pounded, and he had a vague sense of foreboding.

"Brother...sister-in-law, she..."

"What's wrong with your sister-in-law?" Zhai Huan never let Zhai Le call his fiancée "sister-in-law" when there are outsiders. They haven't really gotten married yet, so calling her such a name would damage the woman's reputation.

Now that the wedding date has been finalized, and the birth date is only one click away, it doesn't hurt to shout a few words. However, the title that usually warmed his heart now made him feel cold, "Say it!"

The usually cheerful young man was hesitant at this time.

With slightly red eyes he said: "My condolences..."

boom!

Something exploded in his ears.

When Zhai Huan came back to his senses, the strong wind roaring from the front hit his face, and the horse under his crotch increased its speed to the extreme, and even the war horse formed by Zhai Lewu Qi could not catch up.

He didn't care about anything else and galloped away.

The atmosphere is wrong!

Zhai Huan staggered off his horse.

He brushed away the servant who wanted to help him.

Before he arrived, he heard whimpering and crying one after another. Zhai Huan pushed aside the crowd, and a pale-faced corpse broke into his field of vision. The girl was sleeping peacefully, her hands folded in front of her body, and there was a blue mark on her neck...

Zhai Huan raised his head slightly.

A thick hemp rope hangs from the beam.

"What's going on?" He thought he had used all his strength to ask this question, but no one answered him. The sobbing one was still sobbing, and the less sincere ones had secretly observed his reaction by wiping away tears.

After a while, he realized that the cry was only in his heart. To outsiders, it seemed like he was just moving his lips.

Only half a day——

There are many malicious discussions in the market.

It is said that this girl had secret affairs with other men in the years after Zhai Huan left, and she was afraid of being discovered and dishonored, so she committed suicide in shame; some also said that she was pregnant with an evil child, and when the two families finalized the wedding date, she Helplessly committed suicide...

These remarks about having noses and eyes became so loud that they were barely suppressed by Zhai Le and his men who gave him a heavy beating.

At this time, the future mother-in-law brought a bowl of something.

"Yuewen..."

"Mother."

Upon hearing this title, the woman's tears that she had managed to hold back rolled down again, blurring her vision.

"...My miserable daughter...if you can successfully get married..." the future mother-in-law has been crying for a long time, her eyes were blurry and red and swollen, "It's just...now that this happened...I only think of you as There must be no chance of the two of you..."

Zhai Huan held the already cold hand, his eyes were colder than ever before, and asked: "Who killed her?"

Hanging himself before the wedding?

Who believes it?

The woman wanted to speak but stopped.

He just pushed the bowl of stuff towards him, suppressed something, and said softly: "Yue Wen, don't ask anymore, just... Oh, it's for your own good not to tell you. Don't let my poor daughter die. It’s unclear whether it’s clear or not, okay?”

Zhai Huan seemed to know her for the first time.

"Who killed her?" From beginning to end, he didn't look at the bowl covered with black cloth, but his senses were sharp and he smelled the smell of blood. Looking at the things hurriedly bandaged on his fiancée's arm, he guessed, "Huan must know."

The woman lowered her head and said nothing.

There was just a hint of resentment on her face, which was accurately captured by Zhai Huan: "Although Ah Jing has not been married, we are married at the fingertips. We have a deep relationship over the years. We are not better than husband and wife. She treats her as Zhai." My wife. The funeral ceremony should be held at the Zhai Mansion. Mother, please take her home first, and you can come back later."

"you--"

She didn't have time to say anything.

Zhai Huan had already bent down and held the person in his arms.

The woman tried to ask her servants to stop her, but Zhai Le, who was guarding the door, glared and transformed into armor, frightening everyone from stepping forward and extending their hands. I could only watch as Zhai Huan carried the person away.

"Ale, take your things and go."

"Something? What?"

Zhai Le didn't understand for a while until the woman who caught up pushed him into a bowl filled with blood and blood. He quietly opened it and found a small piece of blood-stained meat in the bowl. He was immediately confused.

He looked at his cousin's back in confusion, and then at the woman.

"This is?"

The woman sobbed and said, "Ajing left it behind."

Zhai Le didn't know what he thought of, and the hairs all over his body were about to explode. He hurriedly caught up with his cousin carrying the bowl.

Now, Qu Dian became lively.

The Zhai Mansion issued a funeral on the grounds that "the clan's wife died of illness".

The common people were surprised: "Isn't this the case yet?"

Another person sighed: "It's like a corpse."

The common people were stunned: "Does Mr. Zhai allow this?"

Another person gossiped: "Then Zhai Yuewen said that if he doesn't allow it, he will resign from his position as the eldest son. The Zhai family can be handed over to any young member of the clan. He will definitely assist him with all his strength in the future."

"I can't see it. How could this gentle Zhai Yuewen be so..." I can't imagine it at all.

The gossiping common people laughed.

"So gentle? Didn't you see how ferociously he held down the heads of more than a hundred water bandits and drowned them alive... When you were ten years old, you were still playing in the mud with your buttocks naked, and you had so many heads chopped off. Being able to play chess...you call this being polite?"

The audience gasped.

This is also a cruel person.

After seven days of rest, Zhai Huan locked himself up for seven days.

Zhai Le stood outside the door, worried.

I want to comfort my cousin but I don’t know where to start.

This happened so suddenly that he was stunned when he heard the news, not to mention his cousin who was emotionally reserved, but once he fell in true love, he was out of control.

What was even more annoying was the sixth day.

Shuji, whom she had never met before, suddenly sent someone to the door to express her admiration to her brother in front of her sister-in-law's coffin. Zhai Le, who presided over the funeral ceremony, almost lost his temper and beat her to death.

what is this!

My brother lost his wife, and this notorious Shuji came to pry my sister-in-law into a corner. Didn’t she know that her brother had to keep his filial piety?

What's even more amazing is that Shu Ji's envoy also hinted that Shu Ji admires their brothers. If the two brothers can serve Wang Ji together, they will definitely be reused in the future. Don't let your brother know about this, otherwise he will go crazy.

On the seventh day, the door opened.

Zhai Le jumped up as soon as he heard the noise.

"A-brother..."

For a moment, he didn't dare to recognize Zhai Huan.

Zhai Huan didn't seem to have changed at all, but everything seemed to have changed. There was a trace of long-dried black blood hanging on the corner of his pale lips. He heard the sound and turned his head.

He asked quietly: "What day is it?"

Zhai Le was nervous subconsciously: "It's the seventh day."

"The first seven..." Zhai Huan murmured in a weak voice, "It is said that if the deceased has unfinished karma, he will return to the world on the seventh day..." Hearing this, Zhai Le got goosebumps.

"Sister-in-law definitely doesn't want to see brother like this..." Brother had never believed in those strange powers and gods before.

Zhai Huan asked: "Will an envoy come to the door?"

"Um...yes..."

"Wang Ji's envoy?"

Although it is a question, it is a firm tone.

"Well, how would Brother know?"

Obviously he hasn't gone out these days.

Or did someone tip off the news?

Zhai Le was worried about how to conceal and delay, but Shuji's envoy came to visit again, this time talking nonsense to Zhai Huan directly.

Zhai Huan laughed: "I never share anything with others."

Alas, I thought I could finish this plot in this chapter...

In the previous chapter, it was not Zhai Huan's fiancée who asked for lunch, but someone else.
