Chapter 369 Sadness comes from the heart

When I mentioned Da Ni, Auntie nodded with red eyes.

"It's all my fault. My illness has dragged Dani down. In order to cure me, this child took the 10 taels of silver from the rich man Li's family and couldn't pay it back. There was no way, so he married the rich man Li's son. But... but this person is gone and I don't dare to find someone, hey!"

The son of the rich man?

These words made Luo Lan and the other two look at each other in surprise.

Luo Lan raised her hands and touched the hot water cup and continued to ask:

"Auntie, are you saying that your granddaughter Dani married the son of the Li Caizhu family in Lijiazhuang?"

The aunt sighed and nodded.

"Yes! But after getting married, Dani hasn't come back for more than a year. I went to find him. The Li family said that Dani had been divorced by them. They even called me out and said that they would come out. They asked the government to arrest me again. Alas! I heard that someone went to Li's house to cause trouble before, but he was really arrested by the government. Moreover, he died in the prison. I thought, Dani should have been divorced by someone. I couldn't think of it for a moment and had no shame to come back. My son and daughter-in-law are no longer there. Dani is a child who is filial and will not leave me. One day she will come back. I, an old woman, can only wait at home."

Luo Lan was completely stunned by the words of the aunt. This statement was exactly the same as Shui Chunhua's.

It seems that there must be something wrong with this Li Caizhu family.

Thinking of this, she stood up and said to A Cai and A Hong:

"Let's go to Lijiazhuang."

The aunt, who was unknown, got up quickly and asked carefully.

"A few girls are leaving? Let's go after drinking water!"

Looking at the aunt's deep eyes and skinny figure, Luo Lan's heart felt a sourness.

Although there are many pitiful people in this world, even if you don’t know where your granddaughter is, you will die or live. The old man Chuimu who lives so shabby still makes Luo Lan feel very sad.

She sat down again, picked up the dirty-looking enamel tank, drank a glass of water, then raised the handkerchief and wiped the corners, and said with a chuckling:

"Auntie, we are just passing by and we have to hurry up. Thank you for your hot water. I feel much warmer after drinking it."

After saying this, she looked at A Cai,

"A Cai, we don't have the reason to drink the aunt's water for nothing. Leave some money for the aunt."

Hearing this, the aunt waved her hand in a hurry.

"No, no, girl, you're just a bowl of water. How can I collect money?"

Luo Lan took a handful of broken silver from A Cai, put it on the table in front of the aunt, and smiled bitterly:

"Auntie, there is a rule in our hometown that we cannot drink other people's water for nothing, otherwise it will be unlucky. So you have to accept this money, otherwise we will be taboo in our hearts when we are away?"

Hearing this, the aunt looked at her skeptically, "Miss, take this seriously?"

Luo Lan nodded with a smile on her lips.

"Take it seriously, this is the rule of my hometown. If you accept it, we will still have to rush to pass by. If you have the chance to see you again."

Luo Lan is willing to tell such a kind lie.

The aunt looked at the broken silver on the table, nodded with tears in her eyes, and choked in her mouth.

"Look at your age, as old as I Dani. Seeing you, I feel like I've seen my Dani come back."

Speaking of this, the aunt raised her sleeves and wiped the turbid tears from the corners of her eyes, then smiled with her cracked lips. The uneven rows of teeth made her look particularly old.

Luo Lan couldn't bear to salute her, "Auntie, we're leaving. I hope your bigni will come back soon."

Leaving this sentence, she took A Cai and A Hong out of this simple courtyard. When they walked out a long distance, Luo Lan looked back and could still see the aunt standing at the gate of the courtyard, staring blankly at their backs, and from time to time, she would raise her sleeves to wipe her eyes.

That looks sad.

Luo Lan sighed while walking, and said angrily:

"It's no longer as simple as finding Shui Chunhua. I want to find Dani and the other women, and I hope they are all alive."

After saying this, she walked towards the carriage with a serious expression. A breeze raised, causing the broken hair on her forehead to drift in the wind. She ignored it at all, and her mind was full of the expectant eyes and thin face of the aunt just now.

When they arrived at the entrance of Lijiazhuang Village, Xiao Lingzi and others also arrived here one after another. After asking them, they learned that the other women had not returned home. They all tried to find them in the Li Mansion, but no one was exceptional and were beaten and thrown out. Some people came to find people repeatedly and were finally sent to the prison of Minghua County. In the end, they were not sure whether they were dead or alive.

Hearing these replies, Luo Lan's face suddenly filled with anger.

Standing at the entrance of the village and listening to the cheerful sound of drums and whips coming from the Li Mansion, Luo Lan's expression became cold.

She glanced at the direction of Li's mansion, gently lifted up the broken hair on her forehead, and said to Xiao Lingzi with a firm look:

"Today, the Li family is going to get married again, and the guards must be loose. You take Zhang Yuan and the others to the backyard of Li's mansion to check if there is anything unusual. I will take A Cai and A Hong to have a wedding banquet."

Xiao Lingzi frowned and asked worriedly:

"Princess, this is inappropriate. Let Zhang Yuan accompany you. We go to the backyard to check. I'm afraid you will be in danger."

A sharp gaze flashed in Luo Lan's eyes, then he half-squinted his eyes and shook his head.

"I don't believe they dare to do anything wrong. You go, with A Cai and A Hong accompanying me, there will be no trouble. Besides, you are in the backyard of the palace. You can also know what happened in front of you. Remember, at the critical moment, just ask two people and don't kill anyone."

Leaving this order, she led the way with a solemn and majestic expression, and Xiao Lingzi and others followed her fiercely.

When Luo Lan brought Ah Hong and A Cai to the front of Li's mansion, looking at the two huge red flowers hanging on the gate, Luo Lan suddenly felt a little dazzling, and she didn't know which girl was unlucky today.

The three of them came to the gate, but no one stopped them. Perhaps because there were many people coming to congratulate them today, the Li family's awareness of prevention became much weaker.

The yard of Li's mansion was already full of people at this time. Luo Lan took A Cai and A Hong toward the main hall of Li's mansion. At this time, the bride and groom in the main hall were performing a ceremony for the church, but the one who was chasing the bride was not a person, but a rooster wearing a big red flower on her head.

Seeing this scene, A Cai covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice.

"Princess, the groom turned out to be a chicken?"

Ah Hong carefully reminded:

"You can speak softly, it's nothing strange. Usually, the groom is in poor health, or for other reasons, you can find a rooster to worship for you."

Luo Lan looked up and saw that not only the rich man Li was sitting in the main hall waiting for the bride and groom to kneel down and worship, but also the Lord Zhou he had met yesterday. They were just sitting on both sides. In the middle, a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe sat.

The man in Taoist robe actually sat in the main seat? This is really strange.

Luo Lan frowned and looked at the woman whose head was covered with red cloth, and felt a little more worried. She didn't know how much money this woman had taken to the rich man Li to push her daughter into the fire pit.

At this moment, someone stood beside Luo Lan and asked unhappily:
Chapter completed!
