Shipin Dalizheng

Chapter 208 Heart-killing

Rong Dahanzi's thoughts went back to more than 20 years ago, when he was ten years old. The old uncle sent a girl, and the clan leader gave her to his father and mother to raise.

He was very happy because the little snow goose was very beautiful, much prettier than other girls in the village, and he liked her very much.

He told his mother that he wanted to marry Xueyan when he grew up, but his mother laughed at him for being wishful thinking, because Xueyan was obviously a lady from a wealthy family, and he, a young boy from the village, was not worthy of her.

Later, Li Zongbao also came. Xueyan only had Li Zongbao in her heart and eyes. No matter how he tried to please Xueyan, Xueyan could not see his kindness to her. Gradually, he became more and more silent, and everyone called him fool.

He thought that was it, that he would never be worthy of Xueyan. However, the good days only lasted a few years, and the old uncle died of illness, and the uncle's family never sent anyone to deliver money again.

Life at home was difficult. Xueyan's parents, who had raised her with great care, could no longer afford to feed and clothe another child. Little Xueyan began to do rough labor like other girls in the village. She ate brown rice soup that was so reflective that you could see your reflection in it, and wore coarse cloth clothes that had been patched over and over again. He felt that Xueyan and he had finally become the same, and he was qualified to marry her.

Who knew Xueyan wouldn't agree? He didn't understand. They had grown up together, and he loved her like a brother, so why wouldn't she agree? He hated Li Zongbao because of him. Without him in the middle, Xueyan would be his.

Later, his mother betrothed Xueyan to Hong Xiucai. He was very gloating in his heart, thinking, Li Zongbao, if I can't get her, you can't get her either.

He didn't care about the betrothal money his mother had asked for, nor did he want to find a wife. He didn't want anyone else except Xueyan. He played dumb so that other women would look down on him, so naturally his mother couldn't force him to marry.

Later, Xueyan and Li Zongbao ran away.

Later, by chance, he learned where Xueyan and Li Zongbao were hiding. Xueyan was pregnant, and his heart was gnawed by jealousy, and he went to Dahong Village for some unknown reason...

Later, Xueyan came back alone. She was so pale and helpless that he trembled with heartache. He thought that this time it would be okay. Xueyan was pregnant and her husband had died. She could not marry anyone else but him.

Who knows, she just doesn't want to, just doesn't want to...

Rong Dahanzi pulled his hair and cried out, "Why, why doesn't she want to? I'm so good to her!"

Rong Tang said coldly: "You are not being nice to her, you are pestering her."

Rong Dahanzi asked a soul-searching question, "I am also a normal man. Don't I deserve a wife? I like her and want to marry her. What's wrong with that?"

Rong Tang looked at him like a clown, "You deserve it! You deserve the princess! You deserve the empress! The premise is that the princess and the empress also look down on you. It's not disgusting that a person is ugly, but it's disgusting that the heart is ugly. It was you who betrayed them and directly caused Li Zongbao's death. It was you who frantically forced Xueyan to marry you, which directly caused Xueyan's death. It was you who made Li Jin an orphan without a father or mother, and suffered for nine years. What have you done? You pretended to be crazy and stupid, making the villagers pity you, avoiding labor, and letting the village support you, a waste. A piece of trash like you, even if you live ten or a hundred lifetimes, Xueyan will not look down on you. Do you think that you have avenged Xueyan by breaking Hong Xiucai's leg? That you don't owe her anything? In the past nine years, you should have had many opportunities to do this, but you didn't do it. Why? Because you were afraid of death. Now that I'm here, you found out clearly that I am protecting my shortcomings and will definitely save your life, so you dare to do it. Am I right?"

Rong Dahanzi tried his best to shrink back and curl up his body, "No, it's not like that, no..."

Rong Tang snorted softly, "You have an ugly body and a despicable soul. You are unworthy of marrying Xueyan. Get out of my yard right now and continue to be a fool who eats and waits for death. Never appear in front of Li Jin again."

Outside the door, little Li Jin was shaking slightly and crying silently.

Rong Dahanzi walked out in a daze.

Rong Dajiang was stunned. "This... I didn't expect that the always honest Dahanzi would do such a stupid thing."

Rong Tang rubbed his eyes tiredly. "Uncle Dajiang, I need to get some sleep. The carpentry workshop has been approved. Borrow some people from the other six villages to clean up the site. I won't pay them for now, but those who come to open up the wasteland and clean up will be given priority for hiring later."

Rong Dajiang saw Rong Tang's red eyes from staying up late, and he felt both distressed and guilty. However, there were so many things going on in this village that bothered him. It would be fine if it was just about providing food and clothing for the entire village, but there were so many filthy things that were disgusting. He was really worried that the prince would learn too much, lose patience with Rongjia Village, and abandon it.

He secretly made up his mind that as the village chief, he would be tough in the future, and solve the trivial matters in the village by himself, so that he would no longer have to worry about these trivial matters.

Rong Tang didn't get any sleep after all, because he had to go to the Ministry of Works for something. The sooner it was resolved, the sooner the water dragon cart could be built. After all, the fields could not wait for anyone.

He wanted to ride a horse, but Rong Zhan wouldn't let him, saying it was too bumpy and it would be better if he could rest on the way.

Let’s take the car, but Rong Qianqi refused again, saying that the road was bumpy and the car was unstable.

"What should we do then? Are you guys going to take turns carrying me?"

Although Rong Tang was joking, Rong Qianqi actually took out a good thing that could not be called a good thing. It was a large reclining chair he made. It was surrounded by carved wood and the bottom was made of bamboo strips that were woven tightly and tightly, and soft and ventilated.

"Master, sit on it. We will carry you to the capital. We guarantee it will be fast and stable."

Rong Wanli had already inserted two long and elastic elm tree poles, waiting for him to get into the sedan chair.

Rong Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Entering the city gate like this is really cool. My reputation as a playboy has finally been confirmed."

His subordinates were already prepared, and he didn't want to disappoint them, so he simply changed into the standard attire of a dandy, put on a few large jewel rings on his hands, waved open his golden fan, and sat down.

The specially made sedan chair was lifted up steadily. This time, except for Rong Shen, who lived in the town and worked as a shopkeeper, the three guards followed him into the capital.

As for Chuncao, she didn't want to go into the city. She planned to wait for Huizhen to go to the town to deliver food, and then follow her to take a peek.

Rong Wanli and Rong Qianqi had indeed carried the child steadily. As soon as they left the village, Rong Tang fell asleep. The fan in his hand dropped to the ground with a thud. Rong Zhan, who had been prepared, picked it up for him and gave him a calm look.

Rong Wanli and Rong Qianqi slowed down their pace. The sedan chair swayed slightly, making a slight creaking sound, just like a lullaby. At this speed, it would take at least two hours to reach Shangjing.

Not far away, there was a noise that attracted the attention of several people. Rong Zhan jumped forward to meet the sound. A roll of letter paper was thrown at his head. Rong Zhan reached out to catch it silently.

Gao Zhiyuan threw the letter away and ran for a moment before looking back. Why didn't Rong Wanli come after him? The two of them were equally skilled in Qinggong. He really enjoyed the feeling of being unable to escape and being unable to catch up, the feeling of both of them lying on the ground, exhausted and motionless.

Rong Wanli didn't chase him after all. At this moment, the three of them had only one thought in their minds, which was to let their master sleep and have a good rest.

In the county town, Zheng Changzhi received a letter from Beijing and read it with Cui Xian.

"The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has revealed a flaw. Father is going to punish him."

Cui Xian also read the letter. If the prime minister wanted to bring someone down, that person would lose his position.

"But Dad doesn't want to reveal his position. He wants to divert the blame and have Prince Huai or Prince Yong take the lead. He will completely eliminate the Liang family at the last moment."
