Chapter 22 Lingxiao's Smile

Lingxiao walked out of Yanyu Tower, without a veil, and half of the city came to watch this lively wedding. People saw her beautiful face and froze there for a moment. Some people on the street were surprised and beautiful breathing sounds, and they were watching her lose their minds. At that moment, time seemed to be still, and Lingxiao was so beautiful that it was suffocating. She walked to the sedan chair, paused, turned her head, looked around and looked at the shocked people, owing her body, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

There was no familiar person in the crowd, no Li Maolian.

She walked into the sedan chair, set off firecrackers in the wedding procession, and the vast army began to walk and left the Yanyu Tower.

Xia Sheng chased after him and cried, "Miss, Miss." Her lady suffered too much grievances and got married today, and from then on, the two of them would be separated from each other.

Lingxiao was sitting in the sedan chair, waiting calmly. Of course she knew what she was waiting for.

The team was going to circle the city for a while and finally went to Guan Da Ren’s residence. When passing by the stone bridge, Lingxiao lifted the curtain and looked at the stone bridge. This was where she and Maolian made an appointment to escape from here. It seemed that on this stone bridge, she saw Luo Lingxiao two days ago, dressed in plain clothes, sitting in the center, jutting her head and looking at the direction of Maolian coming, without slacking off for a moment.

Lingxiao smiled bitterly. The woman who was waiting for her was dead. When she knew the truth that day, she had already died.

First there was a horse team, then the band, and finally the sedan chair came onto the stone bridge. When the sedan chair reached the center, Lingxiao lifted the curtain in front of the sedan chair, jumped down, crossed the stone bridge and went straight into the water.

The team was shocked, and the band's voice overwhelmed her falling into the water. Everyone stood on the stone bridge and looked at the river in disbelief. The thousands of ripples that were startled gradually returned to calm, and the woman in red never came up again.

"Miss--" Xia Sheng, who had been chasing behind, ran over, lay on the stone railing and cried, "Miss--" Ling Xiao indeed chose to commit suicide. Such a strong woman, God gave birth to her this temper, how could she give in to the powerful and noble after suffering all the blows of the Li family and the betrayal of Maolian, and marry a person she didn't want to marry. The ultimate beauty was just the last scene that Ling Xiao wanted to leave to the world.

The beautiful and strong Luo Lingxiao has been here and lived in this world, that's all.

"Miss--" Xia Sheng shouted and fainted from crying. The river water under the bridge became turbulent, flooding Lingxiao and taking her away.

Recalling this, Xia Sheng covered her face with her hands and cried loudly, and her shoulders were shaking uncontrollably due to excitement.

Xiuyuan comforted her thin and weak shoulders and called her name, "Xiasheng."

Xia Sheng raised his head and faced Shang Xiuyuan's face. His gentle temperament and handsome face as bright as the moon were actually so consistent with Maolian twenty years ago.

In a trance, Xia Sheng actually regarded him as Maolian, "Murderer, you are the murderer, you killed the lady!" She pushed Xiuyuan away and was about to go down the ground, but Xiuyuan was pushed hard and staggered.

Xia Sheng staggered down to the ground, hurriedly supporting Xiuyuan. The phoenix swathe slowly floated down with Xia Sheng's movements. The moment it landed, a huge thunder sounded, and heavy rain fell down in response to the thunder.

Xia Sheng pushed open the door and knelt on the ground, looking up at the gray sky, and the heavy rain poured out her. "Miss!" Xia Sheng raised her head and whistled, "Are you back? Take me away, I miss you so much!"

Xiuyuan and Buyu hurriedly dragged the thin Xiasheng in, fearing that the big thunder would really hit her.

"Xiasheng, Xiasheng," he pulled Xiasheng unswervingly, "Calm down."

"Xiasheng," Xiuyuan pulled Xiasheng, "I'm sorry, I apologize to you for the mistakes our family made twenty years ago," he knelt in front of Xiasheng, "But you have to live, and your lady hopes you live."

Xiu Yuan was stunned when he knelt down, and Xia Sheng calmed down. She choked and said, "Miss's death angered Lord Guan. He said that even if he died, he would have to find the body. So he sent someone to search for the river day and night until a few days later, the lady's body was found without recognition."

When Lingxiao's body was found, everyone was surprised. Her hands were eaten by the fish, revealing white bones, and her body swollen, but her eyes were tightly opened on her face, as if she was telling her unwillingness to die.

Xia Sheng pushed everyone away, lying on Lingxiao crying, protecting Lingxiao's body tightly. She pushed anyone away desperately when she stepped forward. So Lord Guan, who was sitting in the sedan, gave an order to drag her away and interrupted one of her legs.

Xia Sheng fainted in pain. When she woke up, she saw Lingxiao's body being tied to a stone by Guan Gong, and threw it into the river. He said, "Don't you want to die? Are you not strong? If you love this cold river water, then you should lie down in this river forever."

Xia Sheng cried and shouted, but she dragged her body to climb on the shore with her broken leg. She begged desperately, begging them to let the dead, but no one paid attention to her. Xia Sheng had no time to stop him, so she watched Lingxiao's red dress fall into the water again and sink to the bottom of the water.

The river gradually calmed down, and Xia Sheng climbed to the shore and wanted to jump with him. When Lingxiao died, she had no intention of living again. She tried her best to slide her arms in the water and hit the river with her hands. There was her lady in the cold river water. She called her lady. The river water stirred up layers of water and wet her face. Her hair was her. Xia Sheng cried again and fainted.

The painful memories allowed Xia Sheng to uncover the deepest scar in her heart. In the end, she finally returned to peace and had no strength to make noise. Lingxiao was a forbidden area in her heart that she could not touch. Every memory was like stabbing the knife deeper in her heart, and she could only let it flow as blood.

Xiuyuan looked at her deeply, and tears were also in her unswerving eyes.

"Do you understand now? Everything that happened twenty years ago. I originally wanted to go with the lady. When I woke up and wanted to jump into the river, I saved me alone. It was the son of your housekeeper Li. He sent me back to Yanyulou and also helped me establish a tomb for the lady. He said that all he could do was this. From then on, I continued to work in Yanyulou. The madam also saw that I had a pity and broke one leg and took me away."

"Butler Li." Xiuyuan glanced at Buyu, took Xiuyuan's eyes, and knew what Xiuyuan had thought of.

"Xiasheng, please rest here for a good rest." Xiuyuan poured her a cup of hot water, "Are you hungry? I'll get you some food."

Xia Sheng shook his head, "I won't stay here, and I won't be able to do anything for a moment. I won't have anything to do with your Li family. I want to go back to Yanyulou and send me back." Xia Sheng said word by word, without any doubt.

Take a look at Xiuyuan without hesitation, "Let's respect her meaning."

After receiving it, he sent Xia Sheng back to Yanyulou. The madam looked at Xia Sheng who had been missing for nearly a day and cursed, "Where have you died? I won't do so much work, let me tell you that Yanyulou does not raise idle people."

Buyu listened to the harsh sound, and was about to come forward to teach the arrogant madam some lessons. Xiuyuan pulled her and walked over by himself, handed the madam a few ingots of silver. "You can collect this money. Please help Xia Sheng better. She is not in good health and let her eat better. If you ask someone else to share the heavy work."

The madam took the silver in panic, nodded in panic, and looked at Xia Sheng strangely. What kind of noble man have you met?

Xia Sheng did not look at the two of them, and continued to work calmly and limply. This was her life. Once she woke up from her memories, she would continue. Xiuyuan felt sad when she looked at her thin back.

"Let's go." Buyu called Xiuyuan, and he turned his head and left here with Buyu.

"Do you have to go to Butler Li next?" Buyu looked at him with his head tilted.

Xiuyuan nodded and remembered what Xia Sheng said, "It's almost time for Lingxiao's sacrifice, it's been twenty years. I think she will not give up until she comes back this time."

"You said her purpose?" Buyu raised his voice and waited for Xiuyuan to answer.

"I think she must find my uncle." Xiuyuan walked forward and followed without hesitation. The shadows of the two people were stretched long under the sunset, reflecting them on the quiet street.

As soon as Butler Li turned around, he saw Xiuyuan facing him, "Young Master Xiuyuan, you scared me."

Xiuyuan still smiled gently, "Butler Li, are you busy?"

"It's okay," Butler Li stroked his beard and sat down, "What's wrong? Is there anything else to ask me?"

Xiu Yuan calmed down for a while, "I saw Xia Sheng, and it was the maid next to Lingxiao."

Butler Li was stunned. Unexpectedly, Xiu Yuan suddenly popped up like this, "How could you talk about this?"

"I know you saved Xia Sheng, and you also feel that they are pitiful. I know everything."

Butler Li was completely stunned, "You still went to Yanyulou, I thought of it."

Xiu Yuan nodded, "Where is my uncle? Do you know?" A gust of wind blew in, blowing open the window bracket, and the window was blown whirring. Both of them looked around, and Butler Li's eyes became a little panicked.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiu Yuan asked.

"She is back." Butler Li's eyes looked a little scared, "Sure enough, the abbot said that he could only bless the place for twenty years. The time limit is coming soon and it is coming."

"What did you say?" Xiuyuan held Butler Li.

Butler Li sat on the chair, "Since Lingxiao committed suicide by jumping into the lake, the town has not stopped. First, Lord Guan died suddenly and then his servants died one after another, and the death was terrifying. Then the Li family, your grandfather was infected with wind and cold and couldn't get sick. Fortunately, our family had a good relationship with Guoqing Temple. The abbot came to his house and saw the clues. He went to the stone bridge to do rituals to save the dead, and buried a Buddha statue under the bridge, which calmed Lingxiao's anger, but the abbot said that he could only bless him for twenty years. As expected-"At this point, another gust of wind blew in, and Xiuyuan's long hair was blowing.

Xiuyuan looked out the window and said, "She is indeed back. She wants to find my uncle. She will not be willing to find her. If you know where my uncle is, you must tell me."

Butler Li shook his head, "I really don't know where your uncle went. After this incident, your uncle broke up with the house and locked himself in the room and no one saw him. I handed over Lingxiao's last things. After seeing those things, he was extremely calm. I can't forget his eyes until now. He let out a long breath. I couldn't see anything with the deep eyes. He said it was too late, it was too late, everything was too late, so he kept repeating it. Then he asked me to save these things, took nothing, and left on a horse, and never came back since then, so I really don't know where he went."

After saying these words, Mr. Li looked at Xiuyuan as relieved. Xiuyuan also looked at him. He was the one in this family who was the most clear-cut person in the family who pointed out good and evil directly.

"Thank you, Butler Li, then I'll go back first." Xiu Yuan exited Butler Li's room and returned to his own room. He sat there waiting for her. "How is it? Have you asked?"

Xiuyuan shook his head, "He doesn't know where my uncle is?"
