Mrs. Li instantly burst into tears again, "You won’t let marry Qinglang, nor will you let return to the Gu Family. Do you want to watch your two aunts torture to death?"
Yun Jiao listened with a blank expression.
Mrs. Li cried for a while, then suddenly looked pitifully at Yun Jiao, "Then I won’t marry Qinglang, okay?"
"You find an honest man, and I’ll beco his main wife."
"You give so dowry, I promise to live a good life."
Yun Jiao was speechless, thinking to herself, what has an honest man done to deserve this?
She lowered her eyes and said, "In this world, anyone can marry you off, but not ."
"I’ve only ever heard of marrying off a daughter, never marrying off a mother."
"If you want to get married, find a matchmaker to arrange it. I won’t object, but that’s all I can do."
If she really married Mrs. Li off and she ended up unhappy, she might even go to the governnt to accuse her.
Accuse her of being unwilling to support her mother, forcing her mother into marriage.
Maybe one day if her father returns, he might bla her too.
She wasn’t going to take this bla.
Yun Jiao tugged on Gu Chuan, "Let’s go, let’s have dinner."
The brother and sister held hands and walked forward.
Mrs. Li sat on the ground, watching the siblings’ backs, her gaze turning sowhat venomous.
She would never go back to that rural place to serve a sentence.
She had to marry Qinglang.
Mrs. Li sat on the ground for a long ti before slowly getting up and heading to the kitchen.
Guihua saw her coming and quickly said, "Sister Li, I saved so food for you. Do you want to eat now?"
Mrs. Li nodded.
Guihua quickly took out the warm food and handed it to Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li usually didn’t eat much, but maybe today she had used up too much energy fighting, and she finished all the food Guihua had saved.
After eating, she returned to her room and started packing her clothes.
It wasn’t because she had thought it over, but she worried that if she didn’t pack, Yun Jiao might make her leave with nothing.
She wasn’t packing to return to her parents’ house either.
In the evening, Yun Jiao packed clothes for Gu Chuan as well.
She patted Gu Chuan’s head, "Tomorrow, have Liu Lang help you take a leave from school."
"On the road, listen to Brother Hu."
Gu Chuan nodded steadily, "Sis, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her on the road. I will make sure she reaches Uncle’s house."
Yun Jiao took out so pieces of silver for him, "Keep this close to you, buy whatever you want to eat on the road."
After reminding Gu Chuan a few more things, Yun Jiao finally left.
Yun Jiao went to the front courtyard, gave Ah Hu forty taels of silver, and bowed to him, "Brother Hu, I entrust this to you."
Ah Hu smiled, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Xiao Chuan, and I’ll make sure your mother reaches her destination."
As Yun Jiao turned back to the rear courtyard, she suddenly heard Mrs. Chen’s scream, "Soone co quickly, the Li family girl has hanged herself!"
Yun Jiao hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran over.
Upon entering Mrs. Li’s room, she saw a white silk hanging from the beam, with Mrs. Li underneath.
Mrs. Li’s head was drooping, motionless.
It was Yun Jiao’s first ti witnessing such a scene, and just as she was panicking, a cold flash ca from behind and sliced through the white silk.
Mrs. Li fell to the ground.
Yun Jiao imdiately rushed over and checked Mrs. Li’s breathing.
She was still breathing; it was probably just temporary unconsciousness due to lack of oxygen.
She tore off the remaining piece of white silk from Mrs. Li’s neck, said "She’s not dead," and then sat down on the ground, staring blankly at Mrs. Li.
She really didn’t know what to do with her mother now.
