Chapter 257 The Female Supporting Characters in the Republic of China 2
At the current plot point, even if the original owner took his baggage, went to the dog hole in the backyard of the Jing family, crawled out, and elope with his cousin.
Lingruo opened the bundle and found several large-denomination silver bills, several gold and silver ingots, and a fruit green silk scarf that looked very well treasured by its owner. The scarf was made of high-quality material and was worth more than the things in the bundle.
She put away the things in her bag and placed the tablet on the bed onto the table.
After thinking about it, she realized that the eldest grandson of the Jing family also sacrificed his life to quell the rebellion, so she lit another stick of incense and chanted "prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony".
Lingruo didn't believe that the ghosts of the dead came to find her.
It is impossible for her to elope with that so-called cousin. She can stay in the Jing Mansion for a while and then make plans to leave the Jing Mansion.
After thinking about it, she called the maids who were guarding outside. There were some snacks on the table. The original owner had planned to feed them to the maids so that they would pass out and she could find a chance to escape through a dog hole.
"Madam, what's wrong?" Xiao Tao asked.
"My bracelet is missing. I have worn it since I was a child. Go ask the servants to help me find it, Xiaotao." Lingruo said.
"Yes, ma'am."
Not long after, although the bracelet was not found, a man was sneaking outside and was caught by the servants of Jing Mansion. After being questioned, the man stammered and could not say anything, so the servants would rather kill him than let him go. After beating him up, they threw him out and warned him to stay away from Jing Mansion.
After all, the Jing Mansion seems to have some military background, and no one in Yuncheng dares to mess with it.
Xiang Wu did not dare to say that he eloped with the bride. Firstly, there was no sign of the bride at all, and she was staying well in the house. Secondly, if he really said it, he would be in trouble. The Jing family was powerful, and the bride who wanted to escape with him after the exposure might just be warned. After all, because it was a ghost marriage, the old lady of the Jing family felt that she owed this girl something, so she could be considered tolerant.
But for Xiang Wu, it would not be as simple as just a beating with a stick. He might even be shot, so he kept his mouth shut and endured the beating.
Lingruo felt much better after learning that a sneaky man outside had been beaten up.
It was getting late, so she wanted to have some sleep.
When she woke up the next day, someone came to wash her. Lingruo changed into an old-fashioned sky blue long skirt and casually put on a coat. She was still not used to walking with her feet. It seemed that she would have to find someone to break the bones so that her feet could grow back.
In feudal dynasties, men considered women's three-inch golden lotus feet to be beautiful. Ling Ruo didn't think this was a good thing. If it was really a good thing, why didn't those men bind their own feet as well?
The normal feet of a woman without foot binding are about six, seven or eight inches long. The normal feet were forcibly bound and stuffed into shoes that were only three inches wide. It is terrifying to think about it.
Ling Ruo was thinking when suddenly a maid ran over and said, "Young Madam... The old lady wants you to go to the main courtyard."
"Did you say what it was about?" After all, the little girl ran away in such a hurry. If she wanted to pay her respects, she wouldn't have to come again.
"This...it is said that the eldest master has returned."
Huh??? Ling Ruo was confused. Wasn’t the eldest young master of the Jing Mansion dead? How come he is still alive???
main courtyard.
The old lady was looking at Jing Yunchuan with tears in her eyes, "My dear grandson, grandma thought you would never come back."
The man was dressed in a black military uniform, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, his nose was straight and his lips were thin, he exuded a murderous aura.
"I am fine."
There was no emotion in his words.
The old lady also came back to her senses at this moment, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and returned to her usual wealthy and dignified demeanor.
"Madam, the young lady has already passed on the message."
The old lady looked a little embarrassed. Her grandson was not dead, and she found him a granddaughter-in-law. She didn't know whether he was satisfied or not.
"Chuan'er, I found you a wife who is gentle, elegant, decent and dignified. Most importantly, she has a pair of three-inch golden lotus feet."
The girl in a white dress who had been following Jing Yunchuan sneered, "What era is it now? People are still binding their feet." She must be one of those women with old-fashioned ideas.
Jing Yunchuan just glanced at the woman indifferently, and she shut up instantly.
After all, her brother was only Jing Yunchuan's adjutant. As his sister, she felt a little proud because he had made some achievements recently. She begged her brother to take him with him when he went to the Jing family.
She also knew Jing Yunchuan's reputation for being cold, hard and murderous. She wanted to see if she could be with Jing Yunchuan, but she didn't even have the chance to meet him.
This time it was because her brother secretly brought her along that she had the chance to be by his side.
The adjutant was almost going crazy. If he had known earlier, he should not have been so confused and brought his sister here. He originally wanted to rely on his charming sister to please the young marshal, but the young marshal was not moved at all.
After what he did today, he would be punished by the young marshal, and would be taken away from him and assigned to other places.
"But is the girl willing?" Jing Yunchuan's tone was a little cold. After all, in the eyes of the old lady, he was dead.
Then this girl was married to be a widow, and it was a ghost marriage.
The old lady was speechless. Seeing her like this, Jing Yunchuan knew what was going on.
"The young lady is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle woman walked in. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and she looked like a beauty who had walked out of a classical painting.
"Meet the old lady... the eldest master."
My dead husband is back, what should I do? Waiting online urgently.
Lingruo had a faint smile on her lips.
The old lady was unsure of Jing Yunchuan's attitude. She was still a little afraid of this grandson who never showed his emotions, so she left first, claiming to be feeling unwell.
Jing Yunchuan glanced at everyone in the room and said, "Go down."
The adjutant and a group of servants went out quickly, including the woman in the dress.
Ling Ruo also wanted to leave, but the man grabbed her wrist and said, "You stay."
"Oh."
"I know you didn't marry me voluntarily. If you don't want to, I can break off the engagement with you. If you're worried about rumors, I can arrange a new identity for you."
He continued, "But if you are willing to be my wife, I will treat you well and there will never be another woman in my life."
The second sentence was not within his consideration. Before meeting Ling Ruo, Jing Yunchuan planned to cancel the engagement and give the woman what she wanted as compensation.
But when he met Ling Ruo, for some reason, he actually hoped in his heart that she would choose the second option.
Stay, stay with him.
Lingruo kept her head down, so the man couldn't see the emotions on her face, and didn't know which one she would choose.
He was always calm and composed, and could remain calm even when faced with a huge crisis. But one day, he became uneasy.
"Okay."
Jing Yunchuan was stunned. Did she agree or disagree?
