Bronze cymbals were clanging, the candy goddess was scattering flowers, and the girl sitting in the middle covered her face and cried loudly.
The old candy seller held up the spoon in his hand, and the monkey charmer held the cymbal, looking frightened and at a loss.
Yan'er Cui'er looked horrified, but Ah Tian was not panicked, but felt inexplicably sad and wanted to cry with the young lady.
"Miss." She didn't try to coax her, but murmured in a choked voice.
Chen Danzhu cried and said: "I am eating a candy man."
Ah Tian nodded hurriedly and urged the old man selling the candy. The old man endured fear and made a beautiful flying beauty without shaking his hands.
Chen Danzhu cried while eating the candy man and watched the little monkey tumbling around all afternoon.
It was destined that many people could not sleep that night. At dawn the next day, Ah Tian, who had not slept all night, poked her head into Chen Danzhu's room and saw that Chen Danzhu was already sitting in front of the mirror.
"Miss." Ah Tian hurriedly came in, "I'll comb your hair."
Chen Danzhu hummed, and A Tian was about to comb her hair when Yan'er ran in and said, "Miss, Miss Liu Wei is here."
A Tian's hand holding the comb paused. In her opinion, the young lady must have had a quarrel with Miss Liu Wei yesterday. She felt so distressed. The young lady was so kind to Miss Liu Wei, but the young lady came back so sad. Her heart broke when she cried.
.
Chen Danzhu looked at herself in the mirror, her expression paused slightly, and asked, "Did she do it by herself?"
She was very angry yesterday. She wished that the Chang family would disappear, as well as Shopkeeper Liu. Even if he was not involved in what happened in that life, he would not say a word and watched Zhang Yao go away sadly. She did not like Shopkeeper Liu either.
Now, in this life, let all these people disappear. She will protect Zhang Yao by herself, let him cure his illness, let him study, let him write books, and let him become famous all over the world——
Yesterday, she left with a single word. Liu Wei would definitely be very scared, and the entire Chang family would be horrified. Chen Danzhu's notoriety has always been hanging over their heads.
Now that Liu Wei is here, was she forced by the Chang family? Is she a scapegoat who was kidnapped?
Yan'er thought about the scene she saw outside the Taoist temple: "Miss Liu Wei, she came alone. She seemed to have escaped secretly. Her skirt and shoes were all covered in mud——"
It looks like it came here.
It’s not a short walk from the eastern suburbs to Taohuashan.
We arrived just after dawn, so we had to get up and walk in the middle of the night. There were no carriages or horses, so the Chang family must not have known.
This child——Chen Danzhu sighed: "Since she is here, let her come in."
Yan'er ran out in response, and soon there was a soft sound of footsteps. Chen Danzhu saw Liu Wei walking into the house from the mirror. She was wrapped in a cloak. The cloak was covered with dirt and grass blades, as if she had been dragged through the mud.
Looking under the cloak, he was actually wearing a homely skirt and top, as if he just got out of bed and went out.
After she came in, she didn't speak, didn't dare to raise her head, and just stood there in a daze.
"You guys go out first." Chen Danzhu said.
Yan'er A Tian hurriedly retreated.
Chen Danzhu turned around, let down her hair, and looked at Liu Wei: "What do you want to say to me?"
Liu Wei raised her head, looking confused, and murmured: "I don't know."
Yesterday, the family members took turns asking, scolding, and comforting, all wanting to know what happened. Why did Chen Danzhu come to her, but then suddenly stormed away in anger? What on earth did she say to Chen Danzhu in the small garden?
She never answered because she didn't know what to say.
In the end, she simply pretended to be faint. When no one was around in the middle of the night, she thought and thought about what Chen Danzhu said, "You are a bad person even if I don't like you." She seemed to understand this sentence, but she didn't seem to understand it.
But she understood that she might bring trouble to her family, including the Chang family.
She didn't know what to say or what to do. She got up from the bed in the middle of the night, avoided the maid, ran out of Chang's house, and walked like this——
It was the first time in her life that she walked alone. It was still before dawn, in the wilderness and on the path. She didn't know how she walked there.
She now walked in front of Chen Danzhu, but she didn't know what to do.
"If you want to hate me, just hate me." She murmured, "Don't blame my family. This is all my fault. My father arranged a marriage for me when I was born. I grew up
Now, I don’t want this marriage. My family loves and protects me, so they want to help me dissolve this marriage. They just want me to be happy, and they don’t mean to harm anyone."
When she said this, tears fell down her pale face.
She just wants to be happy, so is she committing a heinous crime?
"Weiwei, there's nothing wrong with you wanting to be happy." Chen Danzhu looked at her, "You don't like this marriage, and your relatives don't like it, and there's nothing wrong with it, but you can't harm others."
Liu Wei looked at Chen Danzhu. The girl sitting there had long hair disheveled and a small face as pale as a jade sculpture.
"Weiwei," she said, "that man is not wrong either."
Her words didn't sound like a scolding, but rather like a plea.
Liu Wei looked at Chen Danzhu and murmured: "I didn't want to harm him. I just don't want this marriage. I really don't want to harm anyone."
After knowing each other for so long, this girl is indeed not a bad person. She can only be said to be an elder in the family. That old Mrs. Chang is so condescending that she does not regard Zhang Yao as a person.
"Since you don't want this marriage, just make it clear to the other party, and the other party will definitely not pester you." Chen Danzhu said, "Weiwei, that is your father's best friend. Don't you believe in your father's character?
?"
Liu Wei was stunned by her father. He came from a poor family, but he was neither humble nor overbearing when faced with his aunt. He was not angry when he was slighted, and he never tried to please her.
"The person who can make your father promise his children's lifelong happiness will not be of bad character." Chen Danzhu said, "When he comes, you have made it clear and they break up. If he gets entangled, then
He is an evil person, and when the time comes, you can fight back no matter what, but now that the other party has done nothing, you have to get rid of him quickly, Miss Weiwei, isn't this an act of evil?"
Liu Wei lowered her head and shed tears: "I will make it clear to my family, I will stop them, and ask Miss Danzhu to give us a chance."
The girl covered her face with her hands and slowly knelt on the ground.
She didn't say anything to her family. She didn't dare to say it. It was a heinous crime for her family to harm Zhang Yao, but how could she bear it because she caused her family to be killed.
Chen Danzhu stepped forward to hold her. The hostility and anger from last night disappeared when he saw the girl crying and despairing.
"Weiwei," she said suddenly, "come with me."
The weak Liu Wei raised her head, but before she could react, she was pulled up by Chen Danzhu and walked out holding hands.
"Bamboo forest, bamboo forest." Chen Danzhu shouted, "Prepare the car." She turned to look at Liu Wei, "Weiwei, I will take you to see Zhang Yao."
Zhang Yao? Liu Wei looked shocked. Which Zhang Yao?
...
...
When the speeding carriage stopped outside the fence, Zhang Yao was standing in the yard chopping vegetable leaves with his sleeves rolled up.
"Zhang Yao." Chen Danzhu raised the car curtain and asked as he got out of the car, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Yao was startled. The tea seller reminded him not to let Chen Danzhu find out that he was doing housework, otherwise, the lady would tear down her tea shed.
"Ah." He said calmly, "I want to eat stewed chicken. Grandma's chickens are too thin. I plan to feed them and then stew them."
