Chapter 317: The th Rejection without Procrastination
Seeing Li Yaoguang's appearance, Yu Meixue felt distressed. Look how scared her child was!
Although she didn't know the inside story, Yu Meixue was already afraid. She took the letter handed to her by her child with hatred, quickly read the contents, her face instantly turned pale, her cherry lips trembled and left blood marks. She tried her best to suppress her anger, secretly cursing the thief for seducing her child, but she also thought of the other party as a hero defending his country, and was afraid that her husband was still working for him, so she didn't dare to break up with him.
Yu Meixue tightly grasped the letter, forced a smile, and asked Li Qifeng and Ji Mo to settle Yingyi down. She sent Aunt Qiu and the others to take the three little kids away, while she hurriedly prepared dinner and served the dishes. She did not give Yingyi any chance to hit her own child and just wanted to shut him up.
The family members worked together to come up with witty remarks, and Li Yaoguang was able to catch his breath. He quickly read the letter three lines at a time. All he saw were his uncle's earnest instructions.
My son Yaoguang, your uncle is doing well. You have taken care of the elderly and the young at home, and your father is deeply pleased. A thousand thanks cannot express your deep gratitude.
Father and Luanshan are in Da'an in the north. The whole army is resting and just waiting to clean up. I think they will be back soon. I have only one thing to share with you, and it's a good thing. General Shen is young and has many admirers. He will soon take in two concubines, Cui and Zhou. They are from noble families and are powerful. They are both beautiful in their own ways. You are really lucky. Father thinks you are of the right age, so don't worry. When you return, I will find a perfect son-in-law for you. Don't be envious, my son. I hope you are well.
The letter was small and had limited space to write, so my uncle couldn't write in a grand manner. On the small note, he first thanked her for taking care of the family, then reported his own safety, told her about his situation in the north, and finally gave the most important reminder as an elder.
Every word and sentence seemed light and casual, with a playful tone, and he was chatting and teasing Shen Yue about taking a concubine. Combined with the letter he had just received, it could be seen that every word showed the concern of his uncle as an elder for him.
Uncle is really! Although it was tactful, Li Yaoguang understood that these were probably the care and love of his elders, reminding him in various ways.
The uncomfortable feeling that had just surged in my heart suddenly made me feel inexplicably happy when I saw my family’s concern for me.
Little did she know that Cheng Su, who was far away in the north, was pacing back and forth in the house where he was staying. He couldn't even eat a single bite of the sumptuous meal that Luanshan had brought from the cooks.
Thinking about him, he was a playboy, and he must have admired Ai when he was young, so he had a lot of thoughts. Even if he hadn't eaten pork, hadn't he seen a pig run away?
Ever since he followed Shen Yue, got along with him, and received his care, the other party always mentioned his own children intentionally or unintentionally. Gradually, he sensed something was wrong. Then he suddenly realized that he was a fool and why he didn't notice the abnormality earlier.
On one side is the superior who has taken good care of him, led his army to victory, maintained peace, protected the people, and defeated the bandits to recover the country;
On one hand, there is the close relative who loves his family and protects him, respects him as his own father, and cherishes him as his own daughter;
How to choose?
Cheng Su did not say a word, nor did he show any unusual behavior. He just secretly and with great difficulty found the business branch of Qijitang, took out the token, and asked them to deliver the two letters to his home as soon as possible. He only hoped that his child would not be soft-hearted and rush into it.
As for the others, although they wanted to make a name for themselves, if they had to sacrifice their families for it, it didn't matter if he didn't hold the position. At most, he could just take his family and flee to a distant place and live in hiding.
Cheng Su was full of worries and concerns, and even made all the worst-case plans, but he didn't know that Li Yaoguang was completely resistant to it.
After reading the letter, Ying Yi, who had a bowl and chopsticks stuffed in his hands but couldn't eat a single bite, broke through the defense and asked, "Miss Li, what do you think? Do you agree? My master is still waiting, can you ask me to take a letter back?" Take back what? Take back what?
My God, with her body, she is still a young bud in her motherland according to her age. What's the point of talking about love? The most important thing is that Shen Yue is just a friend, she has no feelings at all!
Could it be that he asked her to wait for him in the first place, and his behavior caused her to misunderstand him?
But the terrible thing is, she just regarded him as a good friend who had been through thick and thin with her, and she really didn't have any other thoughts about him, she could swear!
What could Li Yaoguang say when Yingyi was staring at him so closely?
Even if you sympathize with the other person's situation, feel sorry for his difficulties and pity his miserable life, you can't joke about it.
A woman who keeps someone hanging even though she knows the person doesn't like her is a scumbag. She didn't want to be labeled a scumbag. After thinking it over, she took the letter back from her aunt, unfolded it, smoothed it out, folded it and put it back in the original envelope, and then shook her head solemnly at Yingyi.
"Yingyi, I treat your master as a friend, like a brother, and we are as close as brothers, but not as lovers. We fought side by side that day. If he needs my help, I, Li Yaoguang, will definitely not refuse, even if it means death!
But if it's a private affair... I'm still young, not even old enough to get married, and your master already has a beautiful wife in his arms, why would he care about a little girl like me? I guess he just lost his family so suddenly, and he's confused, so he misunderstood our friendship, that's not his real intention, and as a loyal subordinate, you should comfort him.
As for the letter you requested, I'm sorry, please forgive me for not being able to write it, and I don't know how to write it. Please return the letter intact, and I think your master will understand."
"Miss Li, you can't be so cruel!"
"Hey, don't force others to do things against their will!" Yu Meixue was also angry. If it weren't for the other party's identity and the past relationship between her and her family, she would have wanted to turn against him.
I clearly saved his life, but ended up causing trouble?
Although Ji Mo didn't say anything, he stared at Ying Yi unkindly.
Li Yaoguang had a headache and didn't want to fall out, so his tone became tougher.
"Yingyi, if you want to do good for your master, you should know what is the best choice for him. It's not that I'm cruel, but if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. I think you understand this principle better than me. Yingyi, if you want to do good for your master, please tell him when you go back that I, Li Yaoguang, and he are good friends for life, but we can never be husband and wife. I don't like him!
If it's a friend, I will wait for him to come back. If it's someone else, I'm sorry, no, I can't do that, I don't agree!
And I am not afraid to tell you, not to mention that I am young now, it is not the time to talk about these things. Even if I have to talk about them, my husband, Li Yaoguang, can be poor, unproductive, ugly, and even a bandit who kills innocent people. But as long as he listens to me, cares about me, loves me, and only has me for his whole life, then I, Li Yaoguang, will love him, trust him, like him, and protect him. Your master can't do these things, understand?"
understand?
Yingyi has always thought that the girl in front of him is just a courageous, hardworking and capable girl. The master cares about her only because she saved the master by chance and won his heart.
But he didn't expect that she was so hard-headed and so insightful. In comparison,... forget it, a forced melon is not sweet. With the other party's attitude, there is no point in staying any longer. The master is still waiting in the north, so it is time for him to leave.
