Chapter 287 Do You Think I'm Too Cruel?
Chapter 287 Do You Think I'm Too Cruel?
After Ye Jingxue finished speaking, the old lady suddenly groped her way over.
"Is Miss Ye here?"
The old lady also knelt down.
"Auntie, get up quickly."
The maidservant beside them immediately went to support them, and the mother and son knelt down politely and kowtowed before standing up.
"Ms. Ye, why are you here in Daliushu Village?"
Old Mrs. He was a little surprised. When she saw Miss Ye, she thought of the past and her eyes became red.
She had never told anyone about that incident. When she returned to the village in a panic, she just told the villagers that she had accidentally injured her eyes.
"I'm here to look for someone, and I'll come see you guys while I'm at it."
Ye Jingxue did not hide her intentions. When Su Wanwan heard this, she completely understood.
When I heard her asking about Daliushu Village in the town, I thought she knew the mother and son were here and came to visit.
But it's not an urgent matter, so I haven't rushed here these days.
Perhaps the most important thing is to find the man who retired from the Northwest Army.
But she only knew that the man was in Beichang Prefecture, and she didn't know which county or village he was in. This target was a bit broad, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
She was determined to find that man. In order to find him, she actually bought a farm in Wanggang Village and settled down there.
A rich young lady, not only loved by her parents, but also by her aunt who is a princess. So many noble men actually agreed to let her come here alone. Who is that man?
It must be very important to her.
Su Wanwan withdrew her thoughts and sat down with them.
The mother and son were already thanking Ye Jingxue. Ye Jingxue also brought some gifts and money to give them this time, but the mother and son refused.
"Ms. Ye, you saved us and sent someone to take us back to the village. This is already a great favor. We should thank you. How can we accept your things again..."
Dongzi's mother was already choking with sobs.
In fact, Li Juan is not very old. She has two sons, and He Dong is the third one. Despite this, she is only nearly 40 years old.
But her life was too hard. Her husband and eldest son died while doing forced labor to build a dam, and the previous court was so corrupt that they didn't even give them any pension.
The second son also died in the flood that year, leaving only the third son and her to depend on each other.
The old man is very young, and the mother and son cannot cultivate much land, otherwise they would not think of going out to make a living.
Who would have thought that once he went out, he would meet such a vicious boss and almost lost his life.
"Take it. If you hadn't told me about Zhao Xingjian's character, I might still be in the dark. It's because I came into contact with you that Zhao Xingjian wanted to kill me to silence me."
Ye Jingxue directly asked someone to put the things into the house.
Li Juan also wiped away tears and shook her head:
"Don't blame Miss, he is a vicious person. It's just that Miss only realized his true intentions after getting married..."
Ye Jingxue no longer cared about this, waved her hand, and suddenly smiled:
"It doesn't matter, Aunt He, you don't know how miserable he is now, right?"
After the divorce, she had the mother and son sent out of the capital. The village was remote, and the mother and son must not have known what happened next.
After all, he has a grudge against Zhao Xingjian, so just tell them and make them happy.
"He was driven out of the capital by His Majesty, and his family was not allowed to take the imperial examinations for three generations. After returning to the village, he was criticized and ostracized by his family. The pride of the family fell into the mud, and his fiancée in the countryside also abandoned him."
"How can a man who can't carry anything live in the countryside? He is finished. He is lingering on like a beggar. This is not his end. I have sent people to watch him. He will never make a comeback. He can only stay in the village and be scolded for the rest of his life."
If she could, she wanted to kill him.
But how can death be compared to living in pain without dignity?
Thinking of the suffering and hardships she had endured in the dream, a hint of cruelty flashed in Ye Jingxue's eyes.
Li Juan and He Dong were also shocked when they heard her remarks. Li Juan pulled her son to his knees and kowtowed again.
Lin Wenyue was stunned.
When did Sister Ye become so vicious?
Even though the number one scholar had concealed the fact of his fiancée in the countryside, had divorced her, and was driven out of the capital, making it impossible for his three generations to take the imperial examinations, this punishment was enough. Why should he be made to live a life worse than death?
Lin Wenyue would never understand Ye Jingxue's hatred for Zhao Xingjian, but she didn't ask any more questions.
She believed that Sister Ye must have her reasons for doing this. She had never been deceived by a man, so she probably didn't understand how deep the pain was.
Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes slightly, not missing the deep pain in Ye Jingxue's eyes.
Since the scumbag hid the fact of his fiancée from her, they should have divorced without consummating the marriage. Even if the hatred was too deep, it shouldn't have been so deep.
The pleasure and pain of revenge, the plot is very familiar.
Based on her experience of reading so many novels, there are things in this that they don’t know.
This trend is a bit like...rebirth and revenge?
Seeing Ye Jingxue having returned to normal, Su Wanwan was doubtful and unsure.
If she were really reborn, she would also admire Ye Jingxue.
Thinking about those rebirth and revenge stories she had read, it would take the heroine a long time to take revenge, and she would have to be inextricably linked with the scumbag, and she would not be able to kill the scumbag until the very end.
According to the plot, Ye Jingxue was supposed to be reborn on her wedding night, but she got divorced directly...
With thunderous measures, in less than two months, the scumbag was made helpless.
Not following the script and so cool, what a fairy girl!
Of course, this is just Su Wanwan's guess. Or maybe Ye Jingxue loved the top scholar so much that the deeper her love, the deeper her hatred. This is not impossible.
Su Wanwan naturally didn't ask. She talked with them for a while, said goodbye to Li Juan and her son, and then the group left.
Ye Jingxue also felt the silence of her two friends, and on the way back she suddenly sneered:
"Do you think I'm too cruel?"
Lin Wenyue immediately shook her head.
"Sister Ye, you must have hated it so much at the beginning, right? You must have been in a lot of pain, right? I'm sorry I couldn't go to the capital for your wedding."
She held Sister Ye's hand.
Having never experienced it, she couldn't empathize with her. At first, she thought she was a little too cruel, but when she thought about it carefully, it must be because she was too painful.
When she said this, Ye Jingxue was actually a little moved.
She was four years older than Lin Wenyue and lived very far from her. It was only when the Ye family was rehabilitated that she came to Beichang Prefecture with her aunt and stayed in the prefect's house for a while, where she got to know her.
Later, she followed Magistrate Lin to the capital several times, and they also had some correspondence on weekdays. Logically speaking, compared with those sisters in the capital, she was not very familiar with them.
But some people are like this. Sometimes, even though there are thousands of miles between them, they still feel extremely close.
Their friendship will never change, whether in the past life or this life.
