Light Dance Jiajing

Chapter 59: Rumors about the Young Lady

Li Tong disappeared without a trace. Their group immediately became confused. After searching everywhere without success, they turned their attention to the Third Young Master's wife. This was because Li Tong had gone to see the Third Young Master's wife that night without hiding it from his subordinates, and Li Tong had not returned since that night. His younger brother Li Da was not someone to be trifled with. How could he just sit there and ask for his brother's death? He took his people to look for the Third Young Master's wife to ask for him. The Third Young Master's wife had always been a recluse, especially since the Third Young Master had been missing for the past few days. As a woman, she was particularly afraid of trouble. Li Da brought three or five strong men to her house to make trouble. As soon as they entered, the people who came to watch the fun surrounded the small house and heard people talking about it. "What happened?" "It seems like they want to call someone." "They said that the man spent a night with the third young master's wife and never came back..." "You mean the third young master's wife..." "Where did the third young master go?" "She... had an affair... ah..." It had been a long time since there was such explosive news. The nerves of the gossipy women immediately became excited. It seemed that the fact that the third young master's wife had an affair was already a foregone conclusion. It became a hot topic in a day.

Li Da left cursing as he could not get anyone back. The Third Young Master's wife sat on the chair in a daze, tears rolling down her cheeks. Could it be that Li Tong was her enemy in her past life, and he still wouldn't let her go even after his death? Granny Liu took a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and she herself kept crying, muttering, "What can I do? These damn things, how can Madam live her life in the future?"

Lai Di stood outside the house trembling with fear, watching the men and women passing by pointing and talking about their yard. Liu Pozi rushed over and twisted Lai Di hard, cursing: "Little bitch, you deliberately left the door open for people to gossip about you. I don't know if you are really stupid or just a black heart." Lai Di stroked the arm that Liu Pozi had twisted. Liu Pozi pinched it hard enough that Lai Di thought it must have turned blue. She endured it and dared not make a sound. She just stepped aside with her head down. Liu Pozi closed the door, scolded her a few more words, and went into the house.

The Third Young Master's wife was sitting in the inner room. She had not slept for several days. Most of her hair was messy and scattered. Her lifeless eyes gradually became fierce in the dark night. She suddenly laughed, and the sound was a little creepy. Mrs. Liu looked at her worriedly and called softly, "Madam, you should rest. Why torture yourself?"

The Third Young Master's wife had a gloomy look in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth slowly tightened. She sneered and said, "You all humiliate me like this, good, very good, I want to see how many of them know that their wives have been abused. How can they go on with their lives? Hahaha... The family is broken up... Then let's die together."

Granny Liu said in a trembling voice: "No, Madam, if you tell others...how will you live in the future?"

The third young master's wife stared straight out the window and said in a daze: "My husband left me a long time ago, and now I'm being abused by others. What's the point of me, a woman, living? Humph, if I can't live, I'll drag you to hell with me. The road to the underworld is better than being lonely alone..." Lai Di happened to go out to urinate, and the young master's words floated to her ears intermittently. Lai Di shuddered and ran back quickly.

Mei'er has been unlucky these days and doesn't want to run into the man in black, but she happens to run into him all the time. Especially the way he looks at Mei'er as if she were looking at stinky dog ​​shit makes her feel very uncomfortable. Did the two of them have a grudge in their previous life? Mei'er thought about this problem carefully. Mei'er didn't want to have a conflict with the people around the Third Protector. This young man seemed to particularly dislike her trying to get close to the Third Protector. He always had a cold face and looked at her with a bit of sarcasm. Mei'er didn't care whether he was happy or not. She had to follow the Third Protector to Miaojiang. When she got there, it would depend on him whether she could detoxify Zaihou. If he was unhappy and started to slack off, that would be the end of her life.

In a few days they will be able to set off for Miaojiang. The Taoist priest arrived yesterday. His surname is Zang and the young boy calls him Master. He is very obedient in front of him, much more submissive than in front of the three Dharma protectors. Meng'er thinks you should take him away quickly, as he is so annoying. She doesn't want to go to Miaojiang and be angry with this guy all the way.

Although Meng'er was in a hurry to leave, she had not given up on Zheng Liu and the others. There had been no news from them in days, and every time she thought of them she felt like needles piercing her heart. She went to the Third Young Master's village that day, but no one in the village had any news about him. However, there were several versions of the story about the Third Young Master's wife. Some said she cheated on her husband, some said she was raped, and some said she could not hide her affair and killed the adulterer and destroyed the body. In short, everyone wanted to express the same idea: this woman had been slept with by everyone.

There is also news that the village can no longer accommodate the third young master's wife. The village chief cannot stand the rumors and has a gloomy face all day long. The third young master's wife has no children and no one to rely on. It is said that she will be expelled from the family soon. The village chief is going to divorce the third young master. In this day and age, if a woman is divorced by her husband's family, is there any way for her to survive?

Thinking of that beautiful and pitiful woman, Meng'er felt heavy in her heart. If the Third Young Master were still alive, her situation wouldn't be like this. The Third Young Master and she... Meng'er sighed. She was not a nosy person, but since the Third Young Master was not around, she felt that she should find a way to help his wife, even if it was just a small thing.

The courtyard of the Third Young Master's family is not big. In the past, there were only the young couple and their wife Liu. Later, they bought Lai Di. Now the door is closed. People passing by point and talk inside from time to time. Meng'er thought that she didn't know the Third Young Master's wife, so she decided to ask Lai Di about the situation first. Meng'er waited outside and finally saw Lai Di coming out with a bamboo basket. Meng'er followed her quietly and called out "Laidi" when they were in a place with few people.

Lai Di was thinner than before. She blinked her lifeless eyes, and her eyes lit up when she recognized Meng'er. Meng'er pulled her aside and asked anxiously, "How is the Third Young Master's wife? I've heard many unfavorable rumors about her."

Lai Di shook her head and said, "I don't know what happened. A few big men came to ask for someone that day. They said that his eldest brother was seduced by the lady and never came back. The lady...she...she didn't want to live anymore. She also said that she would take everyone to die with her. She wanted to tell everyone something. I...I was so scared. I don't want to die."

Another picture flashed in Meng'er's mind. The Third Young Master's wife was crying. She looked at the Third Young Master's receding back and said, "... I will tell this matter to see how many more families will be broken up." Meng'er shuddered. Was she... going to tell others about the bridal chamber missionary? If this matter got out, Meng'er didn't dare to think about the consequences. In this era where a woman's chastity is more important than her life, how many innocent women would be forced to death? Wouldn't the Third Young Master's wife herself be finished? Meng'er thought that she must stop the Third Young Master's wife. As a child, she obviously didn't have the ability to do so. But didn't she still have the Third Protector? She could always borrow his people.

Without further ado, Meng'er immediately returned to prepare. There was no good solution for the time being. The only way was to control the Third Young Master's wife first, and take her away from this place of trouble. She could be sent back after she calmed down. This might be the best way. The Third Protector was very generous to Meng'er to borrow a few men. After all, they were his people, and Meng'er certainly didn't want to hide anything from him. So the next night, Meng'er directed these men to go to the Third Young Master's wife. These men were all good at fighting, especially against the Third Young Master's wife who had only mediocre skills. They easily abducted the Third Young Master's wife, along with Liu Pozi and Lai Di. Meng'er had already found an inn in the suburbs. They figured that they would pass by here on their way west, and they would take the Third Young Master's wife away with them.

Meng'er instructed the leader to take good care of the women, except not to let them leave the room and to hide them well. Meng'er saw that the task was accomplished, and it was not convenient for her to explain too much to the Third Young Master's wife. It would not be good to say that she kidnapped her because she knew that she wanted to spread the news about the bridal chamber. She thought that they would meet in a few days, so she would take her on the road and talk about it slowly.
