Chapter 153 The Li Family
In the past, no matter what dream she had, she could quickly forget it, and even wake up without remembering it at all, but this time, that scene seemed to be engraved in her mind.

At this time, Xu Lingyue was so awake that she couldn't fall asleep at all.

But it was obviously still dark outside.

She took a piece of clothing and put it on her body, then tiptoedly took an oil lamp, opened the door and went out.

The Xu family was very quiet at this time, there was no other sound in the yard except for the cries of insects.

Xu Lingyue looked up at the sky, there were bright stars hanging in the sky, and the moon was surrounded by them.

After blowing a cool breeze outside for a while, her heart was much quieter.

Recalling the scene in the dream, for some reason, she always felt that she should know the girl and the corpse, even though she couldn't see the face clearly.

After thinking hard for a while, Xu Lingyue shook her head, smiled self-deprecatingly, and finally muttered to herself: "Isn't it just a nightmare, what are you thinking about so much?"

After blowing the cool breeze for a while, she felt a little sleepy, yawned, stretched lazily, and then went back to her room to sleep.

After all, it's still early, so she can't sit outside all night.

After returning to the room, she fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.

This time, Xu Lingyue didn't have a nightmare, and even had a sweet dream, and saw a faint smile on the corner of the mouth of the person on the bed, so it was a good dream.

……

In Gu's residence in the capital.

In the dark night, there is only one place that is still lit, and that is a courtyard of the Gu residence.

Inside the study.

Sitting in front of the desk was a man in purple, who was dealing with official business. He pressed his temples tiredly, and then began to read the notes on the desk.

At this time, Wei Xu walked in and saw that the person in front of him was still dealing with official business, so he reminded him aloud: "My lord, it's late at night."

After hearing the movement, Gu Bingcheng raised his eyes slightly, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and then turned his gaze to him.

"Wei Xu, how are things going?"

"My lord, this is a letter from Min'an."

Wei Xu respectfully handed over a letter in his hand.

After receiving the letter, Gu Bingcheng opened it to read.

After a cursory glance, he knew all the contents of the letter.

Wei Xu didn't know what came to his mind, he seemed a little puzzled, and finally couldn't help asking: "My lord, why did you arrange such a special day?"

"If she has the heart, she will come to the capital to meet her. If she doesn't, it's better to end the marriage. This is His Majesty's temptation to her." Gu Bingcheng glanced at him, played with the jade wrench in his hand, and explained lightly.

After hearing the explanation, Wei Xu nodded half-understanding.

"I see."

It's just that the choice of the day was really immoral, but he didn't dare to refute it, after all, it was His Majesty's intention.

At this time, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy hurried in, shouting loudly.

"Sir, it's not good."

Wei Xu next to him couldn't help but preach: "Xunyu, when will you change your reckless temper?"

Fortunately, there were only adults in there, but if there were other high-ranking and powerful people present, his temperament might cause trouble.

Xun Yu also seemed to realize that he was too reckless, and he lowered his head in embarrassment to admit his mistake: "Brother Wei Xu, I, I know."

He is still young, and Wei Xu sincerely treats him as his younger brother. Seeing him admitting his mistake so quickly, he can't bear to say anything serious.

Alas, the main reason is that adults pamper this kid.

Gu Bingcheng glanced at him, didn't care about anything, and asked lightly: "Xunyu, what's the matter?"

Xun Yu at the bottom was extremely annoyed, and he was constantly brainwashing himself in his heart, he couldn't do this anymore, otherwise he was afraid that it would bring disaster to the adults.

After hearing the question, Xun Yu finally remembered something important. He patted his head and finally came to his senses.

"Almost forgot, there are people coming from the palace."

As soon as the words fell, Wei Xu frowned, and a moment of worry flashed in his eyes, but Gu Bingcheng, the master, did not respond at all.

He was a little worried: "My lord, it's getting late now, Your Majesty..."

"Change." Gu Bingcheng ordered lightly.

Wei Xu had no choice but to bring the adult's official uniform and change it for him.

After changing his clothes, he entered the palace with the eunuchs from the palace, and Wei Xu was with him.

At this time, the lights in the palace were still on, and compared with the darkness around it, it seemed a bit out of place.

Gu Bingcheng followed the father-in-law all the way to a big hall, so Wei Xu could only wait outside.

As time passed, the sky outside was already slightly bright, but the person still hadn't come out, which made Wei Xu outside very anxious.

After a while, Gu Bingcheng came out dragging his tired body.

He hastily stepped forward to support her, and asked curiously, "How is it, my lord?"

Gu Bingcheng pressed his temples, and said wearily: "We'll talk about it when we get back home."

After all, after a night of sleepless nights, his body couldn't stand such abuse.

……

The screen changed and they came to Liujia Village.

Widow Qin sneaked out from Liu's house. She looked around furtively, and when she saw no one, she hurried to the road leading to Xu's Village.

After walking for a long time, she finally arrived at the entrance of the village. She turned left and went in. After a while, she stopped at the door of a large brick house.

A woman from that family happened to come out to pour water. When she saw her, she immediately lost her mood and asked angrily, "Why, the marriage is over?"

"Sister Xu, I have something to ask the old man, can you..." Widow Qin's tone was slightly flattering, even though the person in front of her didn't give her a good look at all.

The woman was annoyed, and said sarcastically: "You have so many things, I don't know why the old man was blinded by you."

Although Widow Qin didn't like hearing this, when she thought about the money, she finally endured it, and she smiled awkwardly.

The woman said impatiently, "Come with me."

It turns out that this is the Li family. This woman is Mr. Li's daughter-in-law, and no one in the family approves of this marriage except the old man himself. Because of this, she didn't have a good look at Widow Qin, who was playing a role in the middle, and even felt that she was the old man who cheated on her.

Although the Li family is not a wealthy family, but a few sons are doing well, so the family can say that they don't have to worry about food and drink. According to modern terms, they can be considered well-off.

As soon as he entered the door, he met the youngest daughter-in-law of the Li family. As soon as he saw Widow Qin, he said angrily, "Why is she here again?"

This atmosphere made Widow Qin very embarrassed. According to her temperament, she would definitely scold her back, but she could only swallow her anger for the money.

After going around in a circle, I came to the backyard, where there is a separate room.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he smelled a strong smell of urine, mixed with an unknown stench.

Widow Qin covered her mouth and nose in disgust, and forced a smile while suppressing the nausea in her heart.
