Chapter 437: Gnashing Of Teeth! (2/2)
“He's mentioning the past again.” Cui Xiaoxin thought to herself. “Those things just make the mood heavier and heavier, like a huge debt owed many years ago, and now, the debtor is here to collect the debt——”
Taohong and Liulu came in with tea, watching the two masters stepped into the courtyard with one behind the other.
Song Tinyun pointed to a tiled jar and said, “Back then, we kept a red tailed fish there.”
Then his finger s.h.i.+fted, pointing to a Tiandu cherry blossom tree in the courtyard. “I remember we planted that Tiandu cherry tree together here. You like cherry blossoms the most. I remember you were playing in the house and when you saw the courtyard was filled with cherry blossoms, you begged me to dig up a s.p.a.ce in the small yard to grow your own. Father also likes to grow cherry blossoms in his courtyard, so I secretly dug up one for you——It has grown so tall.”
“And this Winter sweet tree——”
“That's enough.” Cui Xiaoxin raised her voice all of a sudden.
Song Tinyun looked up to see Cui Xiaoxin gasping for breath, beads of sweat soaked her face, the smile on her face was gone, and her face also grew icy cold.
“It seems that all those rumours out there are true?”
Cui Xiaoxin did not respond to the statement, instead uttered in a low voice, “I know what you're here for. You don't have to worry, what I should do, I'm ready for it.”
“Who asked you to be ready? Who asked you to be ready?” Song Tinyun raged.
Cui Xiaoxin was also pale and silent.
Song Tinyun moved his head closer, eyes staring fiercely in Cui Xiaoxin's. “Cui Xiaoxin, I know, the reason you are saying this to me, is hoping that I can take the initiative to give up. You want me to give you up, give up this engagement. And then you will be free, is that right?”
“I won't do that, I'm not going to be the struggling resister, I'm not going to be that stupid person who sacrifices himself. Don't you like that Li Muyang? So you're going to fight on your own. You're going to refuse the marriage, run away, elope with that man——do what your Aunt did back then.”
Song Tinyun's eyes were bloodshot like an infuriated wolf: “Of course, in the end your resistance will not have any significance. You will be taken back by the Cui family, the man who dares take the woman of the Cui family will be killed by the Cui family to the extent that not even his body or bones will be found. What about you? Your fate is——what everyone expects, you will marry to the Song family, become the Song family's daughter-in-law, become I, Song Tinyun's wife. You will live with me in a false life and give birth to a few children——this is the fate of your life.”
“There's the best example before you, do you——do you want to follow her? Perhaps your fate will change as a result?”
A sarcastic smile curved Song Tinyun's lips as he turned and walked towards the door.。
Taohong and Liulu trotted over, supporting the pale Cui Xiaoxin who was about to collapse.
“Miss, Miss, are you all right?”
“Miss, don't scare me, say something, Miss——
“I want to see Li Muyang.” Cui Xiaoxin uttered, “I want to see Li Muyang.”
“But, Miss, we can't go out, there are a lot more guards at the courtyard gate——” “
“I want to see Li Muyang.” Cui Xiaoxin said, gnas.h.i.+ng her teeth.
A bright red trickle of blood flowed down the corner of her lips. It was from her grinding her teeth together——
“Li Muyang?” The gatekeeper stared warily at Li Muyang, “You're that——Li Muyang of the Lu family?”
“Yes, the Lu family's Li Muyang.” Li Muyang said with a smile.
“You want to see our family's Miss Song Chenxi?” “
“Yes I want to see Miss Chenxi.” Li Muyang said, nodding. Seeing that the gatekeeper's expression was growing cold, his att.i.tude worsening, Li Muyang added, “Your family's Miss Chenxi asked me to come over.”
“I can't decide.” The gatekeeper said. “I need to inform the steward, who needs to inform the main steward, then the main steward will inform the second master——If the second master agrees, then we can let you go see Miss.”
“So troublesome?” Li Muyang widened his eyes.
Li s.h.i.+nian, who was standing next to him, grunted impatiently. “Brother, let's go back. The Song family's doorstep is too high, since they won't let us in, then we won't go in. Who would want to?”
Turning around again, she said to the doormen, “we wouldn't have come if your lady hadn't asked my brother to come over. We wouldn't come even if you begged us.”
Li s.h.i.+nian dragged Li Muyang by the arm, “Brother, let's go back.”
“Let's go back,” said Li Muyang with a smile. He looked at the doormen and said, “If your young Miss asks, please say Li Muyang has come. I, Li Muyang, have never broke a promise before.”
With that, the two turned away towards their carriage.
“Gongzi Muyang——Gongzi Muyang——” A clear and melodious voice sounded from behind. “Gongzi Muyang please wait——”
