Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

But when Li Huoyue turned around, he saw Xu Jiaoer standing in front of Sang Fuqing, hugging Sang Fuqing's waist tightly.

Several people who were about to leave turned around and saw this scene. The two of them hugged each other tightly, like a couple in love.

The sister-in-law and her childhood friend in purple clothes spat at the same time.

"Is it necessary to call someone to watch something like this?" Li Huoyue regretted stopping his sister-in-law too early. "She's really sick. They should both go see a doctor."

After saying that, he walked away again.

The few of them found their horses, gathered at the intersection, and prepared to say goodbye.

Li Huoyue asked his sister-in-law to lead the chestnut horse while he went to find the manager to explain things.

The manager was very capable and had already completed what Li Huoyue wanted to assign.

After making sure that no rumors against his sister-in-law would spread from here, Li Huoyue asked again: "Where is Sang Fuqing's mother? Why hasn't she returned to the Sang Mansion so late today?"

"It seems that something happened to Sang Fuqing's brother, otherwise he would have returned long ago." The steward replied, "I haven't found out what it is yet. I will come to your house and report to you when I have the result."

Li Huoyue nodded and asked the question that she had always been concerned about: "Among the people who gathered at the entrance of Sang Mansion today, did you notice any new faces?"

The steward thought about it carefully and shook his head.

Li Huoyue didn't see who was stirring up trouble outside the Sang Mansion. Although it wasn't anything harmful to her, she couldn't take it lightly.

Whoever has more information will ultimately be in control.

Li Huoyue was in the open while the other party was in the dark, and she had no idea what the other party's purpose was.

This made her feel passive.

After giving a few more instructions, Li Huoyue walked over to his sister-in-law and the others with confidence.

As soon as I got closer, I heard my sister-in-law say:

"You've done me such a big favor, you really deserve to be my best friend! To express my gratitude, I'll be generous and allow you two to sleep with me tonight!"

The purple-clothed woman refused: "You don't have to repay the favor, but don't repay kindness with hatred."

"Then let me take you back. You don't even have a horse, and you don't know what time it will be when you walk back. It doesn't matter if I go back later." The eldest sister-in-law suggested to the woman in yellow.

It was a normal suggestion, but the woman in yellow subconsciously looked at Li Huoyue.

Li Huoyue tightened his hands holding the reins. Was this action a subconscious move because he was afraid that I would disagree?

The woman in yellow immediately realized that she shouldn't have gone to see Li Huoyue at this point. She quickly straightened her head and shook her head at her sister-in-law.

The purple-clothed woman also said at the right time: "Don't bother so much, I'll take Ruochu with me. You must be tired today, hurry back and have a good rest."

The eldest sister-in-law naturally didn't hesitate to get on the horse. She happily mounted the horse and called on Li Huoyue to mount the horse quickly as it was time for them to go back home.

The two childhood friends laughed and teased their sister-in-law for being heartless.

After the few people parted, the eldest sister-in-law did not choose to gallop on the horse, but rode slowly and chatted with Li Huoyue:

"Huo Huo, look at Sang Fuqing. He kept saying that he loved the top female scholar, but after I beat her up, he suddenly disappeared as if his soul was kidnapped."

Li Huoyue was currently trying to figure out the details of the yellow-clothed woman's actions in his mind. When he heard his sister-in-law say this, he casually agreed with her.

The eldest sister-in-law thought that Li Huoyue knew what she meant, and said:

"Yeah, he didn't come out until the very end to say a few words that didn't hurt him. When the conflict with us was fierce before, it was all the work of the top female student."

Li Huoyue nodded: "Indeed."

The eldest sister-in-law showed her true colors: "This Sang Fuqing doesn't seem like a good guy. Why don't we find someone else and not marry him?"

Li Huoyue suddenly thought of something and reined in the horse.

My sister-in-law had finally mustered up the courage to say those words.

Even though she wanted to beat up anyone she wanted when she entered the Sang Mansion today, she still knew how to restrain herself when it came to the people from the Li Mansion.

Relatives are different from outsiders. We are always willing to spend more affection on the people we love and protect them carefully.

"If you don't agree, just ignore what I said!" The eldest sister-in-law quickly reined in her horse, thinking that Li Huoyue disagreed with her, and quickly said, "You don't have to worry about the number one female scholar. I, your sister-in-law..."

"Sister-in-law, you are right!" Li Huoyue comforted her sister-in-law, "This marriage is unlikely to happen, but as for that top scholar, sister-in-law, you must remember not to do anything to her again."

“Why is that?”

Li Huoyue was not in a position to explain Xu Jiaoer's true identity and remained silent for a while.

"Okay, then don't tell me." The sister-in-law shrugged, "But you are not allowed to tell your eldest brother about what happened today!"

"Sister-in-law, help me vent my anger. Even if my brother knows, he won't say anything."

After all, the eldest brother was so angry that he lost his manners in front of the palace.

The eldest sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief. Her body was faster than her brain. When she heard Sang Fuqing humiliating Li Huoyue in this way, she rushed over directly, only thinking about venting her anger for the little girl.

Now that everything was over, she felt a little scared.

"Huo Huo." The eldest sister-in-law realized that her behavior was indeed a bit impulsive, and asked worriedly, "I, I didn't cause you any trouble..."

Noticing her sister-in-law's mood, Li Huoyue thought for a moment and replied, "I'm quite happy."

The sister-in-law looked at Li Huoyue in surprise, as if she didn't hear clearly what Li Huoyue said.

Li Huoyue added some more words and repeated with a smile: "Sister-in-law, seeing that you have destroyed all the Sang Mansion, I am actually very happy."

My sister-in-law also smiled with relief.

Li Huoyue seemed to be in the mood for chatting, so she changed the subject and asked, "Sister-in-law, how many years have you known those two friends? They seem to have a very good relationship."

"That's right! The three of us have known each other since we were playing in the mud. After so many years, our relationship is naturally very good!" After saying that, the eldest sister-in-law sighed again, "It's a pity that Ruchu got married and had children, so we never got together again. It was not until later when your eldest brother and I got married that we met briefly again."

"Then everyone has changed a lot, right?"

"It is indeed very big. If the birth of the child was not smooth, she would have fallen seriously ill right after the child was born. But at that time, my family... Alas, when we met again later, we almost didn't recognize each other. We chatted for a while, and there was no longer the intimacy we had before when we could talk about anything."

Li Huoyue was very empathetic. Following the elder sister-in-law's regretful tone, she asked, "When you were together later, could you only talk about the memories when the three of you were still together?"

"That's not the case. After Ru recovered from her illness, although her body is much weaker than before, her spirits have improved. On the wedding day, we talked about a lot of new and interesting things, but we didn't talk much about our past. So, people should look forward!"

Li Huoyue nodded in agreement.

Suddenly she cried out, "Oh, I think I forgot something."

"Sister-in-law, go back first and tell my brother that I'm safe. I'll go look for him and come back soon."
