Jiang Jizhou hurried back and saw that the doorstep was filled with neighbors watching the fun.

Madam Sun's sharp voice came from afar, "What old lady gave it to me? This is the heirloom of the Gu family. The old lady was not willing to give it a wife who had not yet passed the door? It was obviously your girl who secretly took it away while the old lady was asleep. Now she is afraid of trouble and makes up such a ridiculous excuse, thinking we are three-year-old children? If you have the ability, you ask her to come out to confront me. I think she is guilty and dare not show up!"

He held the pair of emerald bracelets in his hand. The bracelets were shining brightly in the sun, and they were obviously not ordinary.

It is precisely because it is a good thing that makes her words a little credible.

Some people who are not very close to the Jiang family can't help but tend to favor the Gu family.

Old Mrs. Li, who was next to the Jiang family, didn't believe it. After listening for a while in the yard next door, she walked out and stood on the side of Uncle Zhang who was stupid and said to Madam Sun. She knocked on the crutch hard and glared at Madam Sun and said, "Shut up and see what you said, let an unmarried girl come out to confront you. You are shameless, Hanzhu is shameless! No matter how defeated the Gu family is, it is also a family that has the prestigiousness in our county. How can you teach you a foolish slave who doesn't understand these rules!"

The Li family is a large clan in Wutong County. Old Lady Li is the old lady of the clan and is extremely prestigious.

The neighbors couldn't help but calm down.

Madam Sun didn't dare to make trouble with Mrs. Li. She put away her bracelet and said in a gentle tone: "Old lady, don't get angry. I was angry for a moment and forgot the rules. In fact, my old lady has always looked at the important girl. Today, the big girl actually did such a cold thing..."

"Shut up!"

Old Mrs. Li snorted heavily, glanced around, and said loudly: "Hanzhu is something I have seen since I was a child. She is well-behaved, sensible, and well-educated. If our Li family had not had a suitable son, I would have decided on her long ago, and it would have been your turn to the Gu family? It would be more convincing to say that she was stealing things, but you might as well say that the God of Wealth covets the Gu family's heirlooms to steal the family heirloom!"

There was a burst of laughter around.

Madam Sun opened her mouth, and Old Mrs. Li immediately raised her voice again: "Don't bully Hanzhu's thin-skinned face and you're full of dirty words. The neighbors know what kind of family style and education are. The Jiang family has been supporting the Gu family for so many years. The Gu family has never said Hanzhu's words, "Okay, now Gu Heng is going to have a future, the Gu family will look down on Hanzhu, right? Bah, if you have the courage to do ungrateful things and have no courage to bear the infamy, you actually want to wrongly accuse Hanzhu, dream!"

Everyone suddenly realized that it was true that the Gu family was wrongly accusing the girl of the Jiang family of stealing something to withdraw from the marriage?

The wind suddenly changed, and they all pointed at Madam Sun and started to curse.

Madam Sun blushed and defended: "Old lady, don't make random guesses. Who said we don't like the big girl anymore? Once we go, we go..."

"So, the Gu family didn't want to leave the marriage?" Jiang Jizhou finally separated the crowd and showed his face, questioning Madam Sun with a calm face.

Madam Sun was in trouble.

The old lady must have retired from the marriage, but she admitted that...

Jiang Jizhou looked at her, suddenly smiled, bowed to the neighbors, and said calmly: "Everyone, Jiang was seriously ill four years ago, and the doctor was not good at it. I also realized that I would not be in the world for a long time. Seeing Gu Heng was tragically changed by family, he still did not change his original intention. He was humble and diligent and studious. Jiang loved talent, so he betrothed the pearl in his hand, hoping that his two daughters would be taken care of after I left. Fortunately, God gave me a few more years. I didn't want the Gu family to despise Jiang's illness and regret this marriage, and even wrongly accused the little girl of stealing. Jiang did not want to force others to make things difficult. Since the Gu family intended to regret the marriage, I would like to testify today. Gu and Jiang's engagement will be invalidated. From now on, we will be ruthless! Uncle Zhang, go to the warehouse to check the gift list and return the small gift given by the Gu family back exactly the same!"

"yes!"

Uncle Zhang quickly turned in, quickly walked out with two boxes, snorted and threw them to Madam Sun: "Take it away, this is a calligraphy and painting made by your Gu Xiucai. When he wins the top scorer in the future, he will definitely be worth a thousand gold!"

Back then, the Gu family was poor, and Gu Heng was not even a scholar. The master did not mind the Gu family was poor, so they looked down on the master first!

Madam Sun's old face turned into pig's liver.

How convincing the previous emerald bracelets are, these two simple little predecessors now have many slaps on their faces.

Things were done, Jiang Jizhou walked to the old lady Li, bowed and gave a big gift: "The old lady protects her little girl's kindness, and I will never forget you."

Old Mrs. Li quickly helped the person up and said to the Jiang family's yard: "Okay, they are all neighbors. Why do you do so politely? It's better to have such a family without getting married. Don't go to your heart. Go and see Hanzhu. That girl was bullied so much that she might cry. Alas, this poor child, my eyes are sore..."

Raise your hand to wipe your tears.

Jiang Jizhou also cared about his beloved daughter. After thanking him again and again, he led the Jiang family's servants into the door. Uncle Zhang closed the door. When he turned around, he saw the master in front of him paused and then fell straight forward.

"Master!" Uncle Zhang rushed over several times and tried hard to turn the person over. Then he saw Jiang Jizhou vomiting a lot of blood. The ground and clothes were all red.

"Go and invite Doctor Song quickly!" Uncle Zhang called out with red eyes, and then he hurriedly carried Jiang Jizhou, who had fainted, to the main room with another servant.

Before everyone at the Jiang family had dispersed, they heard that Jiang Jizhou was vomiting blood and was unconscious, and they all rushed to the door. Old Mrs. Li was the leader and persuaded all the people who watched the fun to leave. She felt sorry for the Jiang family that there was no one in charge. She led the maid to see Jiang Jizhou with a crutch, which was the only one in charge. If Jiang Jizhou had any reason, the Hanzhu sisters were unintentional, she could help her get an idea.

When the bad news came, Hanzhu was lying on the couch and burst into tears of grief and anger. He heard that his father was in a coma in anger. Hanzhu only felt that the sky had fallen, and those grievances that were wronged were nothing, and only his father was left in his mind.

He didn't care about washing his face or combing his hair. He even forgot to go to the wing room to call his sister. Hanzhu staggered to the front yard.

"Dad!" She lay on the couch and cried, "Dad, don't scare me, don't leave us..."

Old Mrs. Li stood beside her, unable to bear to look, so she turned around and wiped her tears secretly.

Ningzhu ran in quickly, and cried before she could enter the door. After entering the house, she lay beside her sister, crying even more pitiful, "Dad, don't leave, Dad, I'm afraid..."

A pair of pearls in their palms cried into tears, but Jiang Jizhou did not move at all, without any response.

Langzhong Song came to see him, shook his head and sighed, saying that Jiang Jizhou was so angry that he was in a hurry to attack his heart. In addition, his body was already in a loss, and he lost 90% of his energy after vomiting blood. Even if he could wake up, he could not last for three days. He tactfully implied that the Jiang family was preparing for funeral.

Hanzhu fainted from crying.

When I woke up, it was dark.

She was in a daze, as if she was stepping on the clouds, and returned to her father's bed in a daze.

Ningzhu and Yi were lying inside, holding her father and falling asleep, her eyes swollen, and tears were still hanging on her eyelashes.

"Girl, use some porridge. Only with strength can you guard the master." Aunt Zhang walked in with a tray, looked at her husband who was bent over there, and advised with red eyes.

Hanzhu's eyes moved from her father's face to her sister, "Did Miss Second use it?"

Aunt Zhang sighed softly: "No, I fell asleep while crying. Do you want to wake her up?"

Hanzhu shook her head, it would be fine to fall asleep, at least she didn't have to cry anymore.

Moved to the table, Hanzhu lowered his head, scooped the boiled meat porridge and slowly fed it into his mouth, swallowed it, and shed two lines of tears.

Forced himself to eat a full bowl, Hanzhu returned to the bed, held his father's hand and lay down, crying silently.

At the third anniversary, everything was silent, and a familiar cough suddenly sounded in the room.

Hanzhu immediately raised her head, and saw that her father had really woken up in tears, so she hurriedly urged Aunt Zhang to take the medicine. She wiped away her tears and spoke to her father in a low voice, "Dad is awake, are you hungry? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Jiang Jizhou looked at his daughter and saw that her daughter's watery almond eyes had swollen into walnuts.

He smiled, trying to touch his daughter's head, but he couldn't lift his arms and had no strength to speak.

When Hanzhu saw this, she held back her tears and advised: "Dad, don't move, the most important thing for you now is to maintain a good body."

Jiang Jizhou nodded gently.

Aunt Zhang brought the warm medicine in the pot and served his father with spoonful of beads.

After taking the hot medicine, Jiang Jizhou's face finally had a little blood on his face. He looked at the bed holding his sleeping little daughter dependently, and then looked at the eldest daughter serving the bedside. Tears fell in his eyes and told Uncle Zhang: "Go and invite the young man in black to come over."

He can't do it anymore. Before leaving, he can explain as much as he can.

After hearing the meaning of his father's words, Hanzhu could no longer suppress it and lingered on the couch and swallowed even more.

Cheng Yu followed Uncle Zhang and passed by the window, he heard the faint and weak crying like a young deer crying.

Perhaps it was the night wind in August in Jiangnan that was intoxicating. At that moment, he remembered in a daze when his mother went there. At the age of seven, he rushed back to the palace from the palace and ran to the door of the inner room. He first heard his aunt and aunt sobbing softly. He went in crying and saw his mother lying on the bed motionless, dressed in neatly, but there was a circle of bruises under his collar.

After so many years, Cheng Yu couldn't explain why he forgot his mother's appearance, but remembered the bruises on his fair neck.

After entering the house, the thrusting and crying became clearer, which pulled his thoughts back.

Cheng Yu stopped three steps away from the bed, and his cold black eyes looked at Jiang Jizhou calmly.

Jiang Jizhou looked at him begging: "This young master, Jiang should not be able to hold on tonight. I will continue to give the order and not allow anyone to disclose the whereabouts of the young master. I just want the young master to fulfill his previous promise and leave quietly after he recovers from his illness. Don't make things difficult for the two orphans, okay?"

Cheng Yu swears to the sky: "Sir, don't worry, if I harm the two girls, I will be struck by lightning."

His eyes were pure and firm. Jiang Jiezhou sent him, and his eyes turned to Uncle Zhang over there, "You have heard it. After I leave, the two young masters will be guests of the Jiang family. You should not be rude."

Uncle Zhang knelt down and kowtowed, his voice even more: "Everyone listens to the master..."

Jiang Jizhou asked Cheng Yu to go back to the house to rest. He heard the footsteps disappear. He finally looked at his eldest daughter and held her hand and said, "Hanzhu, Daddy, I'm sorry for you. I gave birth to you, but I can't protect you anymore. Gu Heng is not a good match, and Daddy doesn't have time to arrange a good kiss for you. What do you think of Zhang Fu?"

Hanzhu was shocked and forgot to cry.

Uncle and Aunt Zhang raised their heads in disbelief.

Jiang Jizhou smiled bitterly, and he had no choice. His daughter was beautiful, and once he lost his reliance, he would probably be bullied in the future. Although Zhang Fu was not worthy of his daughter, he was honest and reliable, and he looked so handsome. After being recruited as a son-in-law, Uncle and Aunt Zhang would definitely take care of Hanzhu sisters more carefully.

"Master, how can Zhang Fu be worthy of the girl?" Uncle Zhang instinctively refused.

Jiang Jizhou shook his head and said, "As long as he is good to Hanzhu, he is worthy. I just don't know if you are willing to let him marry into the Jiang family."

"I'm willing, I'm willing, don't worry, Master. We will definitely take good care of the girl and will never let the master down!" Aunt Zhang responded anxiously.

Jiang Jizhou still looked at Uncle Zhang, and saw that the loyal servant nodded, then looked at his daughter inquiringly, "If Hanzhu agrees, wait for me to leave, and then he will hold a wedding ceremony within a hundred days." The night is afraid that there are too many dreams, so his daughter will get married first without a hole. After the filial piety period, she will perform the ceremony of Duke Zhou.

Hanzhu nodded crying, "I listen to my father, I just want my father..."

Before he finished speaking, the hand holding her suddenly loosened.

Hanzhu was stunned and held her father back, "Dad?"

No one answered her.

Hanzhu shouted twice again, and the next moment, she burst into tears, "Dad..."
