HCB Chapter 108: Huarong Returns
Chapter 108: Huarong Returns
In the morning, when Song Jing saw her grandmother was about to leave, she called her grandmother.
Song Jushu looked at him meaningfully, and then before he could speak, he heard her grandmother say.
"Jing'er, I know you are a good, sensible person who cares about the family, but don't mention this matter anymore. Just stay at home and I will take a good look at you."
Song Jing didn't say anything in the end, but Hua Da and Hua Er were worried!
They heard from the grapevine that the young man from the Song family had been looking for a date recently, and that had made both of their hair turn a few gray with anxiety.
"How is it? Have you written to the young lady?"
Hua Da asked Hua Er, and Hua Er nodded.
"It all depends on how the lady arranges it next."
Hua Er sighed and said with some melancholy.
How fast is the pigeon carrier? When the letter arrived in Kyoto on the fifth day, Hua Rong had just concluded a deal with a foreigner.
She opened the letter in a good mood, but soon her expression turned grim.
She crumpled the letter into a ball of paper, and then it broke into pieces, shattered by her internal force.
Now she is 18, it is time for her to get married. As for the cousin in the other courtyard, just leave him to her mother to deal with!
He is just a greedy dog who wants to swallow an elephant.
Hua Rong calculated the time. The fastest ship would take a month, the slowest would take two months, and if traveling by land, it would take at least half a year.
"Is my cousin back today?"
A handsome young man asked the young man who was serving him in a not very nice tone.
"Master, Miss Hua is back today and is now in the mansion."
Hearing this, the boy was very excited. He had been thinking about his cousin for a long time and didn't expect that she would be at home this time.
"Hurry up, dress me up, I'm going to meet my cousin."
There was a blush on his face, as if he was a boy in love. Although he had a gloomy face just now, now he was like a blooming flower.
The male slave quickly helped him dress up, and thoughtfully put a peach blossom hairpin in his head and carefully applied rouge and powder.
But it’s not his lips, he deliberately painted them very pink so that his cousin could see his better side.
But before he arrived, he was told that Hua Rong had actually gone out.
He clenched his fingers and went to his uncle's room. Looking at Hua Fulang, he couldn't help crying.
"Uncle, do you think my cousin doesn't like me? But Xuan'er really likes my cousin! Wuuwuwu..."
He cried so hard that his eyes were wet with tears, which made Hua Fulang very distressed. This was her sister's sweetheart! He had to take good care of her.
"Xuan'er, don't worry, your uncle will definitely let your cousin marry you into the Hua family. Even if not, I will..."
"You too what?"
Hua Rong's mother rushed in at this time and almost scared Hua Fulang to death. The man named Xuan Ge'er didn't dare to cry anymore.
Hua Rong's mother is the second child in the family and her name is Hua Haoyue. They all call her Hua Er Niang, but few people call her by her name.
She looked at her husband and this cousin from her outside family with gloomy eyes, feeling a little annoyed.
"Xuan'er, now that you have grown up, it is indeed inappropriate for you to stay in my Huafu Mansion. I will send you back tomorrow. Don't delay your marriage."
As soon as Hua Erniang finished speaking, the boy named Xuan'er turned extremely pale and looked devastated.
"No, I don't agree, Hua Er Niang, I tell you, if you send Xuan Ge'er back, I will die in front of you."
Hua Fulang was a little emotional. He hugged his distraught nephew. Xuan'er was really pitiful. Only Rong Jie'er was worthy of such a good Xuan'er.
Hua Erniang sneered in her heart, ha! He really didn't know his position, and dared to threaten his wife. He had no manners at all.
"That's perfect. You don't have to die. Go back to Jiangnan with your nephew! The temple in Kyoto is small, and my Hua family is even smaller. There is no room for a big Buddha like you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Er Niang turned and left without even looking at Hua Fulang who was filled with disbelief.
"Uncle, I'm sorry Xuan'er has caused you trouble."
He lowered his head, looking so pitiful that it made people feel sad.
Hua Fulang hugged him again and comforted him, completely forgetting what Hua Er Niang said.
There is another little boy in the Hua family, who has not received any love from Hua's husband at all, so when he passed by and saw the two of them hugging each other affectionately, there was disdain in his eyes and a sneer on the corners of his mouth.
It looked like his father was going to be severely punished by his mother, but he deserved it as he couldn't tell who he could truly rely on.
The next day, Hua Rong left a letter for her mother and set off alone to the dock. She paid the silver and boarded a merchant ship that took the official road. The ship cost twenty taels of silver more than other ships, but it was safer and faster.
Hua Fulang really didn't expect that his wife would actually drive him back to Jiangnan. He felt a little panicked and a little scared.
If he left and his wife was seduced by some other vixen, what would he do? And after he returned, his life would definitely not be as luxurious as the one in Kyoto.
The more I thought about it, the less I wanted to go to Jiangnan. Besides, his family was a small one. Besides being poor, there were people everywhere who were hungry and cold.
Hua Erniang was not just talking. Over the years, her husband had emptied the Hua family for the Lin family, and he also wanted to harm her daughter by marrying her to the vampire family of the Lin family. Not only did she find it intolerable, but he also spent money lavishly. Why didn't he care about his own brother, but someone else's?
Is she really a sucker?
"Don't say anything, I don't want to hear it. If you reform yourself, you will have a chance to come back. If you insist on not changing your ways, then you can just stay at the Lin family and wait for the divorce papers to arrive!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she sent the two of them onto the boat without mercy. She was too lazy to look at Lin Xuan's hypocritical tears. She was so annoyed. All she did was cry. What was the point?
Hua Fulang had lost the last bit of affection he had for her, but Hua Erniang still had some conscience and prepared 10,000 silver coins for him, which was a huge sum of money.
Lin Xuan's hopes were dashed in the end. He secretly hated his uncle for always telling him to wait. If he had used some means earlier, he might be pregnant with his cousin's child now.
Hua Fulang did not see the hatred in his eyes, and took his hand with pity and comforted him again.
Huarong sat on the bow with her hands folded, her eyes slightly narrowed. The breeze blew her hair, and her black hair fluttered in the wind. The small mole at the corner of her eye made her look particularly enchanting.
It's been three years, does Jingge still remember her?
But she missed him all the time. Every night before going to bed, she missed him so much that her body ached. She wished she could fly to Changshu County immediately and tie him to her belt.
But her purpose this time was just this, Jing'er could only be hers. Her sinister face was filled with madness and paranoia.
Changshu County.
Song Yu looked at the two people who had been with her second brother for several years and were silently protecting her second brother. She thought that the news must have spread.
