Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Chapter 523: Furious

He couldn't tolerate Yan Bugui's wanton slander and frame-up. Burning with anger, he raised his palm without hesitation and slapped Yan Bugui hard on the cheek.

"Bang!" A crisp slap sounded, like a thunderous shock, and the entire courtyard seemed to be frozen by this moment.

Yan Bugui was caught off guard, a trace of pain and anger flashed across his face, but more of a look of shame and helplessness. He originally thought that he could treat others unscrupulously, but he did not expect to receive such a counterattack.

Father Lou next to him was also carried away and cursed Yan Bugui angrily. "You beast! How dare you frame my daughter! You are worse than a beast! I would rather marry my daughter to a pig than let her marry a shameless person like you!"

His voice resounded throughout the courtyard, as if he was venting the anger and indignation deep in his heart. Everyone heard it clearly, and felt angry and unfair for Lou Xiaoe in their hearts.

Yan Bugui was angered by Lou's words, but could not refute. He felt the anger and disgust of the people around him, and his heart was filled with helplessness and guilt. He originally thought he could achieve his goal in this way, but he didn't expect it would cause such a big backlash.

The atmosphere at the scene became solemn, and everyone turned their attention to He Yudong, looking forward to his response. He Yudong felt the eyes of the people around him, and felt embarrassed and helpless. He suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Well..." He Yudong opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He was caught off guard by the sudden situation and didn't know how to face the situation in front of him.

Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yudong's embarrassed look, and felt a sense of unbearability and distress in her heart. She knew that He Yudong had done nothing wrong, but he was implicated because of Yan Bugui's frame-up, which made her feel very heartbroken.

"Brother He Yudong, don't pay attention to what they say, I believe you." Lou Xiao'e comforted softly. She wanted to give He Yudong some support and encouragement so that he would not feel too depressed.

He Yudong was very grateful when he heard Lou Xiao'e's words, and a smile appeared on his face. "Thank you, Sister Xiao'e. I will prove my innocence."

Jia Zhang also stood up and expressed his support and trust in He Yudong. "Brother He Yudong, we believe in you, you will definitely find out the truth."

Hearing these words, He Yudong felt slightly better. He felt the support and encouragement from the people around him, which made him more confident to face the predicament at hand.

"Thank you for your trust. I will find out the truth as soon as possible and let everyone know that I am innocent." He Yudong said solemnly. He was determined to clear himself of his grievances and make those who framed him pay the price.

In the Hongchen courtyard, there is a girl named Lou Xiao'e. She is He Yudong's childhood sweetheart and his first love. Lou Xiao'e is delicate and refined, gentle and kind. Whenever she walks among the flowers and willows in the courtyard, she always attracts He Yudong's attention. He secretly loved her, but never had the courage to confess to her.

However, fate played a trick on them. A young man named Chen Wen came to the Hongchen Courtyard. He was an elegant and handsome poet, who attracted Lou Xiao'e's heart. Gradually, Lou Xiao'e fell in love with Chen Wen, and Chen Wen seemed to be attracted to her.

He Yudong's heart was like a knife, and he silently endured the pain in his heart. He watched the growing affection between Lou Xiao'e and Chen Wen, feeling endless jealousy and helplessness in his heart.

At the same time, there are many other stories in the Red Dust Courtyard. There was an elderly couple who had gone through ups and downs but still stayed with each other. There was a young scholar who worked desperately to pursue his ideals. There is also a woman who is shouldering a heavy family mission and shouldering the responsibility silently.

In this courtyard, love and hate are intertwined, and there are many emotions. Everyone has their own story, their own difficulties and pursuits.

As for He Yudong, he also gradually grew up in this process. He learned to face setbacks and learned tolerance and understanding. Despite the pain in his heart, he still firmly guarded this worldly courtyard and the love hidden deep in his heart.

One morning in the Hongchen courtyard, the morning light dyed the green bricks of the courtyard red. Under the plane tree, He Yudong hurriedly walked into the wing room in the courtyard. There was a trace of anxiety and helplessness on his face, because today he had to face something that troubled him.

In the side room, Yan Bugui was sitting at the table, holding a cigarette in his hand and looking a little melancholy. He is the parent of Hongchen Courtyard and He Yudong's elder. He has always regarded He Yudong as his own son.

"He Yudong, why are you so anxious?" Yan Bugui looked at He Yudong and asked softly.

He Yudong stopped, sighed, and said: "After the death of my eldest brother, I became the only pillar of the family. But how can I support the whole family by myself? I must marry a woman who is the head of the household. Carrying a big sedan to marry someone into the house is not a concubine."

Yan Bugui frowned slightly after hearing this. He knew that He Yudong's situation was not easy. "I also know that this matter is very important. But you have to remember that marriage is not only about being a good match, but also about whether two people love each other and whether they are suitable."

He Yudong smiled bitterly, "I understand what brother means, but the reality is cruel. I need a woman who can take on family responsibilities."

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Lou Xiao'e slowly walked into the wing. She is a member of the Hongchen Siheyuan and has a deep friendship with He Yudong.

"Sister Lou, you're here." He Yudong looked a little complicated when he saw Lou Xiao'e. He knew that Lou Xiao'e had always had a crush on him, but he couldn't respond.

Lou Xiao'e looked at He Yudong, smiled and said: "He Yudong, do you have anything to tell me?"

He Yudong took a deep breath, knowing that he could not delay any longer, "Sister Lou, I have to tell you something. After the death of my eldest brother, I am the only one in the family. I have to marry a woman who is the head of the family. She is eight. Carrying a big sedan to marry someone into the house is not a concubine."

Lou Xiao'e listened, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, "I understand, this is your responsibility and choice."

He Yudong looked at Lou Xiao'e and felt a little heartache in his heart, but he knew that this was an unavoidable reality. "Sister Lou, you are my best friend, I hope you understand."

Lou Xiao'e nodded gently, "I understand your choice and wish you can find a suitable person."

He Yudong felt grateful after hearing this. He knew that Lou Xiao'e was a kind person. "Thank you, Sister Lou. I will take good care of my future."

Lou Xiao'e stood in front of He Yudong, her eyes were cold and firm, as if she wanted to see through everything deep in He Yudong's heart.

He Yudong felt Lou Xiao'e's oppression, and his mood became heavier. He knew that the words he was about to say might change their relationship, but he could no longer say the following words.

"Sister Lou, I..." He Yudong tried to speak, but something seemed to be stuck in his throat and he could not say anything else.

Lou Xiao'e didn't speak, just stared at He Yudong silently, with a hint of expectation and uneasiness in her eyes.

He Yudong felt Lou Xiao'e's expectations, and a surge of courage surged in his heart. He knew that he could no longer escape, he had to face reality and bravely tell the truth.

"Sister Lou, I know this may be difficult for you to accept, but I have to tell you." He Yudong finally squeezed out these words, his voice trembling.

Lou Xiao'e's brows frowned slightly. She could feel He Yudong's nervousness and uneasiness, but she did not interrupt him and just waited quietly for him to continue.

He Yudong took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Actually, I'm not really looking for a woman to marry. I just don't know how to face my heart, and I don't know how to be honest with you."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "You mean...you don't plan to marry a woman who lives up to your family?"

He Yudong nodded, "Yes. I just feel that I cannot shoulder the responsibilities of my family and don't know how to face the future."

Lou Xiao'e sighed softly. She could understand He Yudong's inner struggle. "He Yudong, you don't have to force yourself to be someone you don't want to be. Marriage is a joint venture between two people, not a unilateral responsibility."

He Yudong felt a sense of relief in his heart after hearing Lou Xiao'e's words. He knew that he could finally get rid of his inner baggage and face the future bravely. "Thank you, Sister Lou. I will cherish our friendship and find someone who is truly suitable for me."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded, "I believe you will find your own happiness." Her voice was full of encouragement and blessings.

He Yudong's courage moved Lou Xiao'e's heart, and she felt an inexplicable warmth, as if her long-standing worries were resolved at this moment. She walked towards He Yudong with a smile and patted his shoulder gently, "He Yudong, you did a good job and faced your heart bravely."

After hearing Lou Xiao'e's words, He Yudong felt an indescribable feeling of gratitude in his heart. He knew that he had made the right choice. "Thank you for your continued support, Sister Lou. With you by my side, I feel like I have a solid backing."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and shook her head, "You're welcome, He Yudong. We are sincere friends, and it is natural to support each other."

At this moment, the door to the wing room was suddenly pushed open, and Yan Bugui hurriedly walked in. There was a look of joy and excitement on his face, as if he had important news to tell everyone.
