Chapter 677: The widowed sister-in-law is beautiful but has a tragic fate (5)
The day Wen Zhao returned home was the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival. When the two of them walked into the city, the streets were already bustling.
The bustling crowd was filled with the atmosphere of hometown, and Wen Zhao's face was always smiling.
It’s better to be at home.
During his three years in Lin'an, he missed home very much, but the round trip was too expensive and time-consuming, so Wen Zhao did not dare to go back.
It's a good opportunity to work more during the holidays.
Gu Zhen remembered the plot in her mind and intentionally led Wen Zhao to take a detour to avoid the alley with the man in black. As they walked, they arrived at the river, where there were not many people and it was quite quiet.
There was sweat on Wen Zhao's forehead, but he didn't look tired and kept talking about what he saw and heard in Lin'an.
"If there is a chance in the future, I will take my sister-in-law to visit Lin'an City. The scenery there is really nice and completely different from our Qinghe Town."
Gu Zhen listened with a smile. The original owner and Wen Zhao grew up together and were very familiar with each other. The strangeness after not seeing each other for three years has now disappeared. Wen Zhao was even surprised to find that his elder sister-in-law had a broader horizon than before.
It can be seen that it is really not good to always stay at home. Going out to do business and see the world can broaden your horizons.
Although he studied Confucianism, he knew that everything was just for the imperial examination, and he looked down on some of those sour and stinky dogmas.
Gu Zhen had no idea that the person who was talking so eloquently around her was actually a product of "examination-oriented education".
As I was listening with great interest, two people walked over on the small bridge ahead.
It’s Xie Songhan and Qingzhi.
Qingzhi's hand was held by Xie Songhan, and she lowered her head shyly. The two stood on the bridge, watching the lanterns floating on the river and the fireworks in the sky.
Xie Songhan held the person in his arms and said something. Gu Zhen and Wen Zhao were too far away to hear anything, but the intimacy between the two made them look like a couple.
Gu Zhen blinked, "That's the new county magistrate of Qinghe Town. He has an extraordinary family background and is a fellow disciple of yours. He sent a gift a few days ago. When you have time, you have to pay him a visit in person, okay?"
Wen Zhao knew from his teacher that there was such a senior brother, but he didn't know who he was exactly. Now that he had recognized the name, he naturally agreed.
But his mind was not on this. Xie Songhan was holding the woman in his arms forcefully and domineeringly, and bent down to kiss her.
Wen Zhao didn't want to look at anything inappropriate, so he quickly turned around and found that his eldest sister-in-law was also looking at him. He lowered his eyes and said nothing, and became more determined to come back this time.
Gu Zhen was actually thinking about the ending of these two people.
In the original plot, the male and female protagonists quickly developed feelings for each other in Qinghe Town. Xie Songhan had unknowingly placed this little maid in his heart, but he himself was unaware, and so far he treated Qingzhi like a plaything.
He personally taught, trained, and sculpted Qingzhi into the image he liked, but he didn't realize that humans are products of self-awareness and cannot always be manipulated by others.
After the two returned to the capital, because Xie Songhan had made great contributions in handling cases, he became very famous in the court and countless people wanted to marry him. For the sake of her son, the princess carefully selected a noble lady.
Qingzhi, the concubine, was also to be sent away. In feudal society, masters would beat or kill their servants at will. The princess ordered Qingzhi to be sent to the farm and be poisoned.
Unexpectedly, when Xie Songhan returned home, he found Qingzhi missing. He got angry and went to bring her back personally.
After some negotiations with her parents, the princess reluctantly agreed to keep Qingzhi and make her a concubine when her mistress got married.
Qingzhi lived in fear day and night. The fear of being on the verge of death made her want to escape. At a banquet, she was embarrassed by Xie Songhan's fiancée in public. She knelt in the rain for a day and a night, and only got one sentence from Xie Songhan, "Be good." Qingzhi decided to escape.
Opportunities are hard to find, but fortunately, for some reason, Xie Songhan was reluctant to agree to the engagement, and after much delay, Qingzhi became pregnant.
Now it was even more impossible for the princess to tolerate her. While Xie Songhan was away, she gave Qingzhi an abortion drug and had someone tie her up and send her to a human trafficker to be sold.
Qingzhi fainted, and when she woke up she found herself next to Xie Songhan. He bought her and settled her in a house outside.
He didn't disobey his mother, and at the same time he could keep Qingzhi by his side, even at the cost of sacrificing his own child.
Qingzhi hid all her emotions and tried her best to please Xie Songhan in exchange for the other party's trust and relaxation. Finally, on New Year's Eve, she found an opportunity to set fire and escape.
After she left, the gentleman who had always been dignified and self-possessed acted like a madman. Only then did Xie Songhan realize how much he loved Qingzhi.
Qingzhi fled to Shu, and as usual, she met another man who loved her. Under his protection, she safely got through many difficulties.
Qingzhi was moved that the other party did not mind her past and was willing to marry him. However, at this time the King of Shu rebelled and the imperial army came to suppress it. Xie Songhan personally came to announce the decree on behalf of the emperor.
Among the refugees, he saw Qingzhi and the man who was close to her.
At that moment, Xie Songhan's emotions that had been suppressed for a long time ignited. He imprisoned Qingzhi. Qingzhi couldn't bear to drag others down, so she had to promise not to run away again.
Later, when the King of Shu was fleeing, he captured Qingzhi and threatened Xie Songhan. In the moment of life and death, Xie Songhan was seriously injured for Qingzhi. The two of them resolved their misunderstandings and reconciled.
Qingzhi returned to the capital. The princess had already compromised and did not dare to embarrass Qingzhi anymore, so she had to agree to their marriage.
The following story is about how she becomes the Crown Prince's wife, grows up little by little, and falls in love with Xie Songhan.
Gu Zhen did not comment on this outcome and was about to look away when several men in black suddenly appeared from under the bridge and quickly climbed up the bridge.
They raised their swords and were about to kill Xie Songhan.
Xie Songhan simply protected Qingzhi and retreated. He was surrounded by personal guards arranged by the emperor and his family, so he would not be easily assassinated.
Gu Zhen tugged at Wen Zhao's sleeve: "Let's go, don't get involved in this."
The original owner was really unlucky.
The people around were screaming and dodging, and Wen Zhao was also frightened by this sudden change, but when he saw that his elder sister-in-law was not afraid, he had to quickly pick up the burden, protect Gu Zhen behind him, and go home with her.
The two of them walked much faster and closed the gate tightly after returning home.
Looking at the familiar courtyard, Wen Zhao's heart finally settled down. He burned incense to his parents and brothers, kowtowed a few times, and waited for Gu Zhen to come out. Wen Zhao lifted up his clothes and knelt in front of her.
"Sister-in-law, please accept my greetings."
People value filial piety, and an elder sister-in-law is like a mother, let alone one who has worked so hard for her. The original owner was three years older than Wen Zhao, but in fact, Wen Zhao looked older.
It seems that life in Lin'an is really hard.
Gu Zhen helped him up: "We are family and we should keep our distance. I am still waiting for the day when you become successful."
Wen Zhao touched the paper in his arms, thinking about how to start the conversation.
He is now the only man in the Wen family. According to secular ethics, he has the power to make the decision for his brother and parents, write a letter of divorce, and let his sister-in-law remarry.
Gu Zhen is only nineteen years old, and she shouldn't waste her best years on him.
Of course, Wen Zhao will never forget the kindness he has shown her over the past three years. Regardless of whether he can achieve success in the future, he will always respect Gu Zhen and do his best to repay her.
He wanted to let Gu Zhen make this choice.
Whether she wanted to risk her whole life to seek an imperial decree, or to remarry and find happiness elsewhere, Wen Zhao was willing to do it.
