save the bachelors

Chapter 4761 [Liu Xianglian and Sister You]

Liu Xianglian was also born into a noble family. He was handsome, with a fine face and a handsome appearance. In terms of appearance, he was even better than Jia Baoyu, and was quite famous in the circle of dignitaries in the capital.

Unfortunately, by the time he reached this age, his family business had already withered. He himself neither took the imperial examination nor joined the army. He spent his days wielding swords, sleeping with prostitutes, cockfighting, horse riding, and watching operas and singing songs.

Fortunately, I have many friends and can find food anywhere.

The reason why Third Sister You fell in love with him was because she had watched him in a play and fell in love with this handsome and extraordinary man.

Jia Lian was also aware of Liu Xianglian's reputation, so he immediately agreed to help bring them together.

But after Liu Xianglian's family business declined, he had no fixed residence. He was also cold-hearted, liked to be alone, and was erratic, so it was not easy to be a matchmaker.

But fate played a trick on him. When Jia Lian was looking for Liu Xianglian somewhere, he happened to meet Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian returning together.

It turned out that when Xue Pan was out doing business, he encountered robbers on the way. He happened to meet Liu Xianglian, who rescued him. Xue Pan was naturally very grateful, so he became brothers with Liu Xianglian, and the two returned to the capital together to celebrate.

Jia Lian was overjoyed and immediately told Liu Xianglian about Yu Sanjie.

When Liu Xianglian heard that You Sanjie was a rare and stunning beauty, he agreed to the marriage under the influence of alcohol and even offered his Mandarin Duck Sword as a betrothal gift.

He also knew that although he was from a noble family, he had actually fallen into poverty long ago.

He definitely couldn't marry a daughter from a rich and powerful family, and he wasn't interested in a daughter from a poor and humble family.

Therefore, he made up his mind early on to find a stunning woman to marry. In fact, he used this as an excuse to cover up his embarrassing situation of being "not good enough for a man of high status, and not good enough for a man of low status".

Now that he heard that Third Sister You was an extremely beautiful woman and came from a family of officials, and was a good match for himself, Liu Xianglian was naturally happy.

……

But after sobering up, Liu Xianglian felt a little regretful.

Because he and Jia Lian were not actually familiar with each other, but the other party was so enthusiastic in helping him to be a matchmaker, wasn't that suspicious?

You have to know that although in ancient times men were required to marry when they were old enough and women were required to marry when they were old enough, it was always the men who took the initiative while the women were not.

The man can take the initiative to ask the woman's family about marriage, but the woman's marriage is just a leak.

Just like in the book, Taoist Zhang only mentioned to Jia Mu that a certain family had a fifteen-year-old daughter who was very pretty. Jia Mu said that the child should not marry early, and she took over the matter.

Therefore, Liu Xianglian felt suspicious that Jia Lian was so actively promoting You Sanjie.

Therefore, he made some inquiries and found out that You Sanjie was actually Jia Zhen's sister-in-law. He also learned that her sister You Erjie first married the gambler Zhang Hua and was later taken away by Jia Lian.

He immediately regretted it.

He thought that he was just another Zhang Hua, and after marrying Yu Sanjie, he would also be a cuckold, and he didn't know how many times he would be cuckolded.

Therefore, Liu Xianglian immediately found Jia Lian and wanted to take back the Mandarin Duck Sword for their engagement.

Since Third Sister You got the Mandarin Duck Sword, she has been looking forward to Liu Xianglian coming to marry her. But now when she heard that Liu Xianglian came to ask for the sword, she was immediately disheartened, knowing that he despised her for being unclean and disdained to marry her.

So she took out the Mandarin Duck Sword, hid the female sword behind her elbow, and came to Liu Xianglian, "I have been devoted to you for five years, but I didn't expect you to be so cold-hearted. I will repay your love with my death and return your betrothal gift."

While shedding tears, she handed the sword and sheath to Xianglian with her left hand, and with her right elbow she crossed her neck.

……

Seeing that someone had died, Old Lady You cried and cursed Xianglian.

Jia Lian grabbed Xianglian and ordered his men to tie him up and send him to the government. You Erjie quickly stopped crying and advised Jia Lian: "No one threatened her. She committed suicide. What's the point of sending her to the government? It will only make you look bad. It's better to let her go!"

Jia Lian was at a loss at this point, so he let go and ordered Xianglian to get out.

Liu Xianglian did not move. He took off his handkerchief, wiped his tears and said, "I didn't know you were such a strong-willed person! Really respectable! I'm just not worthy of him." He burst into tears.

In the midst of the chaos, a figure suddenly appeared, sighed and said, "What is love in this world? It makes people pledge to each other for life and death."

When everyone saw it, they were stunned. It was Xiang Nan.

"Brother Bao, you're here at the right time. Come and save us." When Jia Lian saw Xiang Nan, he shouted as if he had seen a savior.

Xiang Nan nodded and looked at Liu Xianglian again, "Leng Erlang, Third Sister You really treats you sincerely. Do you understand now?"

Liu Xianglian nodded while crying.

He originally thought that Third Sister You was also a lewd and evil person, and the reason she wanted to marry him was so that he could be the scapegoat and be the only one left.

As a result, when Third Sister You resolutely committed suicide in front of him, he realized that she really loved him.

How could he not regret and feel sad?

After all, she is such a stunning beauty, and she is so sincere to me. What more could a husband ask for?

Seeing that he was deeply remorseful, Xiang Nan immediately took out the Black Scripture of the Undead and recited the resurrection spell from it.

Then a cold wind blew, and Third Sister You opened her eyes. The wound on her neck healed quickly without even a scar left.

When everyone saw it, they were shocked, but also overjoyed, and they all came forward.

Liu Xianglian hugged You Sanjie tightly and refused to let go.

Yu Sanjie came back to life and was naturally overjoyed to see that Liu Xianglian no longer despised her, and she hugged him tightly.

"I've heard from people that Brother Bao can bring the dead back to life. Now that I see him, I find that his reputation is well-deserved." Jia Lian thanked him again and again.

Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this anymore. Second brother, take care of yourself. I'll leave first." After saying that, he turned around and disappeared.

He came to save people today because he felt sorry for the lovers Liu Xianglian and You Sanjie, not to clean up Jia Lian's mess.

Jia Lian heard the warning in Xiang Nan's words and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

……

Afterwards, Liu Xianglian and You Sanjie held a wedding, and then he took You Lao Niang and You Erjie away from the capital to avoid any further contact with Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and others.

Because they are all shameless sex-hungry ghosts who only focus on women. If they continue to stay in the capital, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen.

Although Jia Lian felt a little sorry, he was only sad for a moment and then put it aside.

After being warned by Xiang Nan, he knew that the matter of You Erjie could no longer be concealed. If he continued to associate with her, it would probably anger Xiang Nan.

After all, Xiang Nan never liked him fooling around outside, so he specially issued family rules to strictly prohibit the men of the Jia family from keeping concubines, keeping male paramours, sleeping with prostitutes, etc.

Once Xiang Nan is angered, the consequences will be disastrous. He is a god, and he can make him live a life worse than death with just a few tricks, so he can only give up You Erjie.

Fortunately, he had been with You Erjie for a year and was a little tired of her, so it was a good time to let go.
