Chapter 1644 Marriage (Part 2)
For the sake of his deceased wife, Mr. Xi wanted to help Liu Qiuyu and his son.
But at that time, everyone's thinking was very old-fashioned. He was a widower who lost his wife and went to help other people's wives and children. If it got out, the reputations of Liu Qiuyu and Ruan Fengmian would be ruined.
So Mr. Xi can only intervene secretly, occasionally helping out a little. Like the marriage between Cheng Qi and Liu Qiuyu, he must never interfere.
At that time, Mr. Xi thought that although Cheng Qi was disgusting, Liu Qiuyu still had Liu's family behind him, and Ruan Fengmian was Cheng Qi's first son.
But he didn't expect that his thoughts were still too naive.
Cheng Qi is not just vicious, he is simply a devil.
And Xu Qingya, the mistress, was another devil.
The two devils teamed up to kill Liu Qiuyu, and within a few days they killed Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu.
By the time Mr. Xi learned of the death of Liu Qiuyu and Ruan Fengmian, it was already too late. Liu Qiuyu had already been cremated, Ruan Fengmian Yangliu's body was secretly 'buried', and even their child, Ruan Munan, was nowhere to be found.
Mr. Xi regretted it very much. He felt that he was ashamed of the dead Mrs. Xi and did not protect the friend she cared about. So for the next year, he kept sending people to look for Ruan Munan's whereabouts, and at the same time pressed the Cheng family for the whereabouts of Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu's bodies.
Cheng Qi naturally wouldn't tell him.
Mr. Xi then started to attack the Cheng family, and the relationship between the two families became increasingly tense.
It wasn't until a year later that Xi Xiaoran's condition began to worsen, and Mr. Xi no longer had the energy to take care of other things, so he gradually stopped attacking the Cheng family.
"If only I hadn't worried so much at the time." Old Master Xi sighed, "I was worried that if I stepped in to help, it would ruin your grandma and your father's reputation. But I didn't know that Cheng's family was a cannibal. Killed them! If I knew this earlier, why should I worry so much?"
"I'm sorry for Mrs. Liu, for your parents, and even more for Lao Jiu's grandmother's entrustment."
Mr. Xi raised the wine cup and drank it down in one gulp, the corners of his eyes were slightly red.
Ruan Qi didn't dare to make the old man too sad, so she quickly shook her head and said to him: "Grandpa Xi, it's not your fault, don't blame yourself. On the contrary, my parents have always been very grateful to you. They said that if it wasn't for you Helping them out from time to time will make life more difficult for them in the Cheng family."
"Besides, even if you put aside all your concerns and intervene in the Cheng family's affairs, it's impossible to keep them. Xu Qingya and Cheng Qi are full of tricks. If they want their parents to die, they will have ten thousand ways. You can't prevent them. "
Old Master Xi knew that Ruan Qi was telling the truth, Cheng Qi and Xu Qingya, those two bastards, had various ways of killing people. As long as Ruan Fengmian and the others stay in the Cheng family, there will always be a knife around their necks.
Grandpa Xi sighed for an unknown number of times. He picked up a chicken leg for Ruan Qi with his chopsticks, and asked her, "How are your parents doing now? How have you been all these years?"
"Mom and Dad are fine."
Ruan Qi smiled and briefly told Ruan Fengmian Yangliu's experience over the years, "The villagers in Qingyun Village are very simple. Although they didn't have much money back then, their parents lived very easily. Grandparents treat them like their own children, and Master also loves them. Help clear up the traces. The Cheng family and that mysterious organization haven't found us all these years, and our family is doing well."
Mr. Xi listened patiently, his solemn face gradually stained with a smile.
After Ruan Qi finished speaking, he nodded with comfort in his heart: "It's good to live well. Wealth and power are all external objects, and the safety of the family is the most important thing."
Ruan Qi nodded her head in agreement, picked up the glazed wine jug, and filled it up for the old man.
Grandpa Xi looked at her with satisfaction: "Everything is fate. Back then, Lao Jiu's grandma and your grandma exchanged handkerchiefs, and now you and Lao Jiu are lovers again. If Lao Jiu's grandma knew about this, she would be very happy .If only she was still alive..."
When talking about his dead wife, Mr. Xi lost control of his emotions again.
Ruan Qi didn't want to make the old man too sad, so she got up and changed seats with Xi Xiaoyun, and sat next to old man Xi.
She took his arm and said with crooked eyes: "Grandpa Xi, Grandma Xi must be watching us in the sky with my grandma now. They were best friends when they were alive, and they still accompany each other when they die. Xi Grandma is not lonely, and neither is my grandma. So you have to be happy, so that Grandma Xi won't worry about you."
The little girl's voice was soft, and her words were a little naive, but they could miraculously soothe the sadness in people's hearts.
When Mr. Xi thought of his wife and best friend accompanying each other in the sky, and being able to talk to each other when nothing happened, his sad mood immediately felt better.
He patted Ruan Qi on the shoulder and said with emotion: "You are a good boy, it is his good fortune that Lao Jiu can meet you."
Ruan Qi took a look at Xi Jiu, and raised her lips with a smile: "I am lucky to meet Jiu Jiu!"
Seeing her defending her weaknesses, Mr. Xi shook his head amusedly, and said, "Girl, since your parents have already returned to the imperial capital, why don't you arrange a time for the two to meet?"
"?" Ruan Qi opened her eyes wide, "Meet?"
"That's right." Mr. Xi looked at her with a smile, "You two have been dating for so long, it's time for the parents of both parties to meet. Second, I also want to meet this child, Bo Nian... Your dad is now called What? Still called Bai Nian?"
Ruan Qi shook her head: "My father's name is now Ruan Fengmian, my mother's name is Yang Liu, and my brother's name is Ruan Munan."
"Ruan Fengmian Yangliu..." Mr. Xi said it several times before nodding his head, "Your father's name is better than Cheng Bainian. Cheng Qi chose a bad name, so don't worry about it. But your mother...Yangliu? Which willow? Liu Qiuyu the willow?"
Ruan Qi: "Yes. My grandmother's surname is Yang, and my mother took it after she changed her name. The name Liu is to commemorate my grandmother."
Hearing this, Old Master Xi couldn't help but sighed again.
"The whole family of the Cheng family is rotten to the bone. Only your father has affection and righteousness, and his style follows your grandma Liu Qiuyu. It's just a pity that your grandma's family doesn't have the bearing of a scholar. Girl, your father Has Mom been to Liu's house after returning to the imperial capital?"
"I haven't been there." Ruan Qi shook her head, "Not only have I never been there, they didn't even ask. Dad said that Liu's family has nothing to do with him."
Mr. Xi couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
When Ruan Fengmian was the eldest son of the Cheng family, the Liu family treated him like a treasure. But later, something happened to Liu Qiuyu, and her brother Liu Qiusheng only made a symbolic resistance, and then succumbed to the power of the Cheng family.
After Liu Qiuyu died, the Liu family didn't even show up, showing their ruthlessness and soft bones to the extreme.
"It's fine if you didn't go. After your grandma passed away, Cheng Qi turned his face and turned his back on her. Not only did he not appreciate the support of the Liu family back then, but he also suppressed the Liu family."
"Liu's family has not lived peacefully these past few years, and their children and grandchildren have not lived up to expectations. I heard recently that the old members of the Liu family are clamoring for the juniors to marry into the family."
Babies, the gray bars in the middle of the physical book are anti-counterfeiting marks, it’s not a misprint.
