The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

It was already evening when they returned to Banpo Village. Yan Ersheng and Liu Wenniang's eyes were red with joy when they saw their daughter whom they had been missing day and night.

"My daughter, you have been gone for more than two months and there has been no news. We don't know where to go to inquire about your whereabouts. Do you know how worried your parents are about you?" Liu Wen Niang hugged Yan Shu and started crying.

Yan Shu felt a pang of sadness in his heart and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from Liu Wenniang's face.

"It is my unfilial daughter who has made my parents worried. This time I come back, I will stay in Xinyang Prefecture and will not go anywhere else."

Yan Ersheng nodded happily: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. After you and Lao Er left home, your mother couldn't help crying when she thought of you. No matter how I persuaded her, it was useless. Now that you're back, your mother feels relieved. By the way, my daughter, why didn't Erlang and your second brother come back together?"

Yan Wen stepped forward and interrupted Yan Ersheng's question: "Dad, there are guests visiting, let's go into the house first."

At this time, Liu Hanyue got off the carriage, walked forward and bowed politely.

"Uncle Yan, Aunt Yan, long time no see."

When Yan Ersheng and Liu Wenniang saw that the person coming was Liu Hanyue, a trace of doubt flashed through their minds.

It's New Year's Day, why doesn't Mr. Liu stay in the Marquis' Mansion instead of running all the way to the mountains to suffer the cold?

Retracting his thoughts, Yan Ersheng said politely: "It turns out that Mr. Liu is here. It's cold outside, come in quickly."

The group entered the main hall. Yan Ersheng exchanged a few words with Liu Hanyue. When he learned that Liu Hanyue wanted to celebrate the New Year in the village, he readily agreed.

"Seventh Uncle's family just built a new house. They were originally planning to move in after the New Year. I'll go and discuss it with him. It shouldn't be a problem to stay for a dozen days."

Liu Hanyue glanced at Hefeng, and the latter immediately took out an ingot of twenty taels of silver.

"Second uncle, I will probably stay in the mountains for about ten days, so I can't trouble Seventh Uncle for nothing. This ingot of silver can be regarded as rent for Seventh Uncle."

Yan Ersheng hurriedly shook his head and refused: "No need to give money, Seventh Uncle is a kind person, just bring some gifts to his door."

Liu Hanyue said, "Seventh Uncle is a generous person, but as a younger generation, we must follow the rules. I'll trouble Second Uncle to deliver the money."

He Feng handed the silver to Yan Ersheng and said, "I'll trouble you to arrange a place for my master to live."

"Well, I'll go discuss this with my seventh uncle."

Yan Ersheng asked Yan Wen to entertain Liu Hanyue and his group, and he went to his seventh uncle's house.

When Seventh Uncle saw the twenty taels of silver, he was also shocked.

"The new house is temporarily vacant, but the furniture in the house is ready. They can move in if they need it, and it can also add some popularity to the new house. Why do we need to give them so much money?"

Yan Ersheng said, "I know you are generous, but Mr. Liu thinks your house is a new one, so he is determined to give you the money. You should accept it, so that he can live in peace."

Seventh Uncle frowned. The last time Liu Hanyue stayed in the mountains for a few days, he gave their family a lot of silver. It was with that silver and the money from selling potatoes to the fourth girl that their family was able to build a new house. One should not be too greedy. What's more, the fourth girl and the second young master Liu were both nobles in Banpo Village. As the head of the Yan family, he should arrange accommodation for the distinguished guests.

After thinking it over for a while, Seventh Uncle felt that he shouldn't take the silver anyway.

"Ersheng, go back and tell Mr. Liu and the fourth girl that Mr. Liu gave us a lot of money when he stayed in our village for a few days last time. That money is enough to buy a house in our village. Although we farmers don't understand the ways of the world, we also know that we should be down-to-earth and do our duty. I will not accept this money. You can live in the house. Yanbai, go and get the key to the new house."

"Okay grandpa."

The eldest grandson Yan Bai immediately left the main room, and after a moment he brought the key to the new house and handed it to his seventh uncle.

Uncle Seven turned around and handed it to Yan Ersheng: "Let Yan Ping and Yan Bai take you there later. If you need anything, go to other people's homes and borrow it first. The people in our village are kind and easy to talk to."

"Thank you, Uncle Seventh. I will go back and reply."

"Go."

The seventh uncle called his eldest son and grandson to leave with Yan Ersheng.

Soon, Yan Ersheng returned home and returned the twenty taels of silver to Liu Hanyue, explaining his seventh uncle's attitude in a helpless tone.

When Liu Hanyue learned that his seventh uncle was determined, he instructed Hefeng to go down the mountain to the town early the next morning to buy some New Year's goods and bring back some for his seventh uncle's family.

Since he refused to accept the money, it was difficult for Seventh Uncle to refuse by sending him some New Year's goods as a token of his gratitude.

In this way, Liu Hanyue lived in the new house of his seventh uncle. A noble young man like Liu Hanyue was surrounded by servants and had nothing to lack.

But since he was a guest of the Yan family, the Yan family, as the host, also helped him inside and out. After two hours of hard work, they finally cleaned up the yard.

It was already late at night when Yan Ersheng, Yan Wen, Yan Huai, Liu Wenniang and Yan Shu returned home. Xu Shuangxue and Xiaolian had been waiting at home.

Seeing that Xu Shuangxue was still waiting for them, Liu Wenniang hurriedly called Yan Wen to take care of her wife and go back to the house to rest.

After Yan Wen and Xu Shuangxue left, Xiaolian also went to the guest room in the east house to sleep. Only Yan Ersheng, Liu Wenniang, Yan Huai, and Yan Shu, a family of four, were left in the main room.

After Yan Ersheng sat down, he looked towards Yan Shu.

"My daughter, I couldn't ask too much when Mr. Liu was here just now. Tell me the truth. Did you and Erlang have a quarrel?"

Yan Shu knew that his family would definitely ask about this matter, and he had no intention of hiding it, so he told them what happened in Qingyun Mountain.

Yan Ersheng and Liu Wenniang both frowned, but Yan Huai seemed much calmer in comparison.

Yan Huai spoke first: "When I learned that Erlang was a prince, I knew that my sister was not suitable for him. The royal family's struggles have always been cruel, and the interests involved are intertwined. If Jiang Ci wants to compete for that position, he will have to win over the powerful in the future, and marriage has always been the first choice to bind them together."

Yan Ersheng said, "My daughter, what your third brother said makes sense. The royal family is ruthless. The waters there are too deep and muddy for ordinary people like us to get involved. From now on, our family will live peacefully in Xinyang Prefecture."

"Dad and Third Brother said that I came back this time just to be with my parents and fulfill my filial duties. I will not go anywhere else from now on."

Liu Wenniang held Yan Shu's hand, her eyes full of heartache.

"What nonsense are you talking about? My daughter is so outstanding. She is not inferior to the daughters of the famous families in Xinyang Prefecture. She will definitely find a good husband who loves you and live with you for the rest of your life."

Yan Shu just smiled faintly. She had no chance to get married in this life. She just wanted to spend the rest of her time with her parents and relatives and live happily through these three years.

Yan Ersheng said, "Girl, contact your second brother as soon as possible and have that kid come home quickly. With his brain, joining the army is just a way to die."

Yan Shu blamed himself and said, "It's my fault. I should have persuaded my second brother to give up joining the army."

At first she had not expected that a trip to Qingyun Mountain would separate her from Jiang Ci completely, and she had never expected that Jiang Ci would lose his memory. Now she was also very worried about her second brother's situation and hoped that he would receive her letter in the military camp as soon as possible.

Liu Wenniang said, "How can you be blamed for this? When the third son of the Qi family went to join the army, your second brother clamored to go, and was scolded by your father. This time he followed you, and we are not as determined as we are. You can't persuade him even if you try to persuade him."

The family chatted until very late. Although Yan Ersheng, Liu Weniang and Yan Huai were all trying to comfort Yan Shu, Jiang Ci had been with them for such a long time that Yan Ersheng and Liu Weniang had already regarded Jiang Ci as their own son-in-law. Now that they knew that he and their daughter had completely broken off, they felt a little regretful.

at the same time

Qilian Mountain Camp

Jiang Ci fell asleep with one hand on the desk. A vague figure appeared in his dream. She was in a bush of flowers, carrying a bamboo basket on her back, picking flowers around her as she walked.

"Aci, we need to pick more today. Madam Liu is urging us to go back. We need to send more this time."

Looking at the figure in the distance, he felt inexplicably happy and walked towards her quickly.

They were obviously not far apart, but no matter how hard he tried to get closer to her, she always appeared in another place the next second. He reached out to grab her, but her figure disappeared like a breeze.

"Don't go!" he shouted anxiously, but the woman's figure completely disappeared.

"Dangdang!"

The teacup beside him fell to the ground, Jiang Ci suddenly opened his eyes, and a black shadow flashed into the tent in an instant.

"Master, are you okay?"

Jiang Ci lowered his eyes and glanced at the broken teacup on the ground, then raised his head coldly and looked at Ying Lie.

"Has the message I asked you to deliver been delivered?"

Ying Lie bowed his head respectfully and blinked rapidly.

"We have sent people to Nanwei Prefecture as you instructed."

"Why did I send Huanying and the others to Nanwei Prefecture?"

Ying Lie raised his head and glanced at Jiang Ci: "Nanwei Prefecture has just escaped from the siege of King Qi. You are worried that King Qi will make a comeback, so you sent a few trusted people to help Li Shangqian guard there."

Jiang Ci was silent for a moment: "You go down."

"Subordinates resign!"

Ying Lie turned around and prepared to leave the tent when a soldier on duty walked straight in.

"Master, Miss Wei is here."

A hint of impatience flashed across Jiang Ci's cold eyes.

"Tell me I'm busy, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

Ying Lie walked to the entrance of the tent and stopped, then turned around and said, "Master, Miss Wei knows that you haven't eaten well all day, so she must have personally made you a midnight snack. It's a token of her love after all. If you don't see her, wouldn't that disappoint Miss Wei?"

Jiang Ci picked up a book from the desk and started reading.

"I didn't ask her to cook the food. If you're worried about disappointing her, just take it yourself."

Ying Lie frowned. The sect leader asked him to help Miss Wei get close to the young master, but no matter how hard Miss Wei tried in the past few days, the master was unusually distant and indifferent to her.

"Still not leaving?"

Ying Lie bowed and said, "Master, you loved Miss Wei very much before you lost your memory. Now you are so cold to her. Miss Wei must be very sad."

Jiang Ci stared at Ying Lie with cold eyes, but the corners of his lips curled up.

"Yinglie, I'm very curious about what benefit my grandfather promised you that made you try so hard to talk to me and Wei Yang."

Ying Lie was startled and fell to his knees with a thud. The soldier standing beside him was also frightened and knelt down as well.

"I dare not. I just feel that you were so...so fond of Miss Wei before you lost your memory, but now you are cold and distant to her. I am afraid that you will regret what you are doing now after you regain your memory..."

Jiang Ci sneered, "If I really liked her before, I will make up for it after I recover my memory, but now I don't remember anything. It's overstepping the boundaries to get too close to an unmarried woman. I won't have too much contact with her before I recover my memory, so she doesn't have to worry so much in the future."

"But Master..."

"Ying Lie, you want to teach me how to do things?"

"My subordinates dare not!"

"I think you are very brave. Since you are my grandfather's man, you should continue to follow him from tomorrow."

A trace of panic flashed in Ying Lie's eyes: "Master, there is no one trustworthy around you at the moment, and you have lost your memory. The master is worried about you, so he asked me to serve you. If you drive me away, I will not be able to face you, and I can only die to apologize!"
