Luo Lingwei quickly made Xiaoqing tell her the news she had heard.
It turned out that Xiaoqing had gone to inquire about Sun Xiu's information, but did not know about it. As soon as she did, she was startled. This Sun Xiu had actually married his own mistress.
This was originally what had happened. Sun Dalong was around 40 years old. He had traveled the four seas before and had seen a lot. He had always been alone, but once he was secretly killed. Fortunately, there was a family that saved him, at that time Sun Dalong was in dire straits, and he could not repay them, he could only split a piece of jade into two and gave one half to the family, promising them, if they ever had trouble, they could rely on this to find him, even if he had to go through fire and water, he would definitely repay this debt of gratitude.
Later, Sun Delong came to Ping An County. Because of his kung fu skills, he was promoted by the county magistrate to be the head of the county magistrate.
Not long after, someone came to Sun Dalong's house. It was Sun Xiu. This Sun Xiu was originally the son of Sun Dalong's benefactor, and was only eleven or twelve when he arrived. He told Sun Dalong that his hometown had been affected by famine, and that his parents had brought him here to escape.
Sun Dalong couldn't help shedding tears as he heard this. He kowtowed in the direction of his benefactor's hometown and brought Sun Xiu home to take him in as a disciple. Sun Xiu usually called him foster father.
This year, Sun Delong was in his early forties. The county magistrate saw that he had done many good deeds for the county, and the people respected him. However, he was still alone, so he made the decision to give the county's girls to him.
The girl's surname was Song, and she was born with a face full of shyness. After the two of them got married, they were also very fond of each other. Since he had been taught some martial arts by Sun Dalong since he was young, coupled with the fact that Sun Dalong had pleaded for mercy from the county magistrate, he could be considered to have accepted a job at the yamen. Being a jailer in the county magistrate's office and watching over the criminals could be considered as having been a bit of an effort. After Madame Song and Sun Delong were married, Sun Xiu moved out of Sun Delong's house.
Just like that, the two families lived peacefully together for two to three years. Last year, Sun Dalong and Yang Jiexian were cursing on the street, and Yang said that he would die that night. Sun Delong was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He heard from the neighbors that Sun Delong was still drinking and cursing at home that night, and that he had also scared a child in the neighborhood. As a result, when he was young, he heard the Sun family fall into chaos. First, the Song Family shouted, ”Master, where are you going?!”
Not long after, he heard the Sun family's maidservants and Madam Song shouting in the courtyard.
”Oh no! Master has jumped into the ocean! ”
That night, the neighborhood helped Madame Song find Sun Dalong. In the end, they didn't even find a corpse.
The next day, Madame Song could only cry. There was nothing she could do but to give Sun Dalong a memorial grave. He also invited some people to help Sun Dalong deal with this matter, which exceeded the scope of Sun Dalong's death.
After the legal affairs were done, everyone came to persuade Madame Song that since she was already gone and you were still so young, you should find another family to marry to if you had the chance.
When Madame Song heard this, she told the people around her that she would not remarry and would be the widow of Sun Delong.
Because Madame Song had a good appearance and was very considerate in everything she did, there were many matchmakers who came to speak up for the county's rich, but they were all invited out by Madame Song.
Later on, the Song family did not hold back, and spread the word that if the matchmaker came again to protect the media, he could agree to it, but he had three conditions.
First, that person can only have the surname 'Sun'.
Secondly, he was not qualified. He wanted the groom to marry into the Sun family and become a member of the Sun family. This way, he could be considered as being worthy of Sun Dalong.
