Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 172

“It will still take two days to reach there!” Zhao Qingshu said, “We will all accompany Lingxue and return after the funeral.”

“Funeral?” Liu asked the question in her heart, “Isn’t he going to mourn Mrs. Yang’s death?”

Zhao Qingshu said, “This is not the usual matter. Mrs. Yang still had committed a crime. He has to go through the set of processes in the official government. Naturally, he can’t follow the rule of three years after the funeral.”

Liu nodded, “That is also true, then why does he not have to mourn for three years?”

Zhao Qingshu smiled, “I took Mr. Lin with me.”

Mr. Lin was the fortune-teller.

Zhao Qingshu continued, “It’s not that he doesn’t have to mourn, he still has to, Lingxue is going to take care of Yang Junhan in the name of fiancée, not really get married to him. She had to wait for three years to complete mourning and then have the marriage.”

“Ah?” Liu was surprised, “Then, could Yang Junhan protect Lingxue without marriage?”

Zhao Qingshu said, “Mr. Lin said, he can. Following Yang Junhan, our Lingxue could live without worry.”

“But ……” Zhao Qingshu whispered a few words in Liu’s ear. She looked twice at him, her eyes were full of difficulties.

“That’s not good!” Liu obviously felt embarrassed.

“Mr. Lin said that special affairs are special, no need to keep to the old ways,” Zhao Qingshu said.

Zhao Lingxue stared with her clear beautiful eyes, not understanding what her parents were whispering.

“Then how did Yang Junhan agree?” Liu asked.

Zhao Qingshu said, “Mrs. Yang put a suicide note on her bed, that he did not have to mourn. He has to marry our Lingxue according to the wedding date. Yang Junhan naturally understood the old lady’s heart to do this shocking thing in order for Yang Junhan to successfully marry a wife and have children. Yang Junhan also dared not disobey, so he thought of a compromise method.”

“He said our Lingxue could change her mind at any time in three years, and come back to find a good man. Her identity as his fiancée will also be confidential to the public, and they will live in separate courtyards. You must not come back! After looking for more than ten years, we found the best man.”

“Yes, you must not return!” Liu warned Zhao Lingxue, “Be sure to please your husband and stay by his side.”

Zhao Lingxue also nodded, her eyes firm, “Father, mother, don’t worry, I know. I will absolutely not return.”

 Zhao Lingxue had to embark on a journey to save her life, and that man was the life-preserving talisman she had to cling to.

Zhao Qingshu saw that it was getting late and urged, “Hurry up, pack up, we will go to Fuqing City.”

That night, Zhao Lingxue said goodbye to her five brothers and followed her parents to Fuqing City.

The man she was going to find was already thirty years old.

To be honest, she was a bit disgusted that he was too old.

After all, she was only sixteen years old. In her eyes, thirty-year-old men seemed to be uncles to her.

He must be serious, boring, and unattractive.

She was so apprehensive!!!

*****

The white cloth hung in front of the gate of Yuyuan Garden, and the white lanterns did not move as there was no wind.

In front of the empty gate, there were only a few carriages, very cold and clear.

When Zhao Lingxue got down from the carriage, she saw the scene and her mood instantly became heavy.

Zhao Qingshu walked in front of her, and she and Liu followed closely behind.

The first time she entered the Yuyuan Garden, she saw only black and white, solemn, and somewhat appalling. When she stepped into the condolence hall, a wide coffin was placed in the middle, and in white mourning clothes a man was kneeling on the side.

In the large condolence hall, there was only one person kneeling. He looked cold and lonely, his thin body hunched. He was numbly sitting in the front of the fire pot burning paper money.

Hearing the movement, he straightened his posture, lifted his head and greeted them.

Zhao Lingxue saw his face. He looked like an elegant man, with a pale face and a pair of narrow eyes, full of sadness so much that it overflowed. She could not bear to look at him for a second. Her heart was so heavy that she could not breathe.

He should love his mother.

Why did he have to bear such pain?

The pain was too much.

……

The first time he saw the girl, he saw her a little bit as a nuisance.

He had to understand what he wanted to do.

Indeed, it was not advisable to make a big deal of the matter for his mother.

Zhao Lingxue’s gaze from time to time swept to the lonely figure, the heart felt pity.

When it came time to carry the coffin out, the man cried, not like tearing his heart out, just silently as if holding back, but the tears in his eyes still could not stop falling.

His whole body was shrouded in grief, it was heartbreaking pain.

She couldn’t help but go to his side and kneel beside him, keeping him company.

She was oblivious to the whispers behind her.

Liu wanted to go forward to pull back her daughter, after all, with her current status it was not appropriate, she was not yet his wife, but Zhao Qingshu stopped his wife.

Liu did not understand and looked at him in confusion.

Zhao Qingshu said in a low voice, “Yang Junhan is a man with a heart. If Lingxue accompanied him on such an occasion, he would not make things difficult for our daughter in the future.”

And then, Zhao Lingxue watched that man send his mother out, return to the house to welcome the guests and relatives, and finally send them off. He concealed his sorrow and coped with it.
