Chapter 39 Why swear an oath?
He walked quickly to Jiang Luo, and raised his hand to wipe away her tears, but finally put it down.
His daughter Yaoyao has grown into a big girl now, and they can no longer be as intimate as they were when they were little. It is not in accordance with etiquette.
Wu Yang looked at the little girl in front of him who looked exactly like Rong'er and was standing there crying. He could only pace back and forth anxiously.
It was as if I was back to when Rong'er was a child, and I was at a loss what to do when she cried.
In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he raised his hand and gently wiped away Jiang Luo's tears.
He wiped his tears and coaxed her, "Yaoyao, your third uncle rushed all the way from Jiangnan to Yongjing just to see you."
"You don't know, your eldest uncle's eyes were red when he received your letter that day, and he ordered me to leave immediately without delay. Can you please stop crying for the sake of your third uncle's hard work?"
When Rong'er was little, he would comfort her like this if she cried.
Sure enough, the little girl's tears were no longer like pearls that had broken off the string.
Wu Yang pulled her to sit on the stone bench in the yard, and poured her a cup of tea, which was her favorite Longjing tea before the rain.
Every year, there are several big bags of this tea as gifts during festivals.
Jiang Luo stared at him, as if asking on behalf of her in her previous life: "Doesn't my uncle blame me?"
Wu Yang looked at the little girl in front of him. She stared at him straight, her tearful eyes full of guilt and regret.
He smiled and replied, "Uncle never blames you. None of us blames you, Yaoyao. Some things are not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself."
Jiang Luo wanted to cry even more.
Yaoyao was her nickname, which was given to her by her uncle when she was still in her mother's womb. Her mother told her this in a letter.
The mist is flowing like jade.
Now, someone finally called.
She looked at her third uncle with red eyes and asked, "Are uncles and aunts okay?"
"Everything is fine, everything is fine. They are worried about you every day. Before I left this time, they also carefully prepared gifts for you. Third uncle will show them to you later." Wu Yang said softly with a heart full of doting.
Jiang Luo raised his head and forced back the tears that were about to flow out.
She wondered, how much love had she missed in her previous life?
Wu Yang also stared closely at the little girl in front of him.
He could feel that his daughter Yaoyao was very sad.
She had a hard time in the Duke's Mansion these years. And they were far away in Jiangnan, so they could only send people to get some scattered information secretly.
Don’t even interfere.
Sometimes he couldn't understand why his parents had told them so much before they died, and even forced them to swear an oath...
What else does the Wu family want except the throne?
Why can't you protect his family Yaoyao openly?
The three brothers had only this one sister, and this only sister died after giving birth to this one child.
He still couldn't figure it out after all these years.
Now that Yaoyao came to find them first, it wouldn't be considered that the three brothers broke their oath, right?
Jiang Luo calmed himself down, smiled sweetly, and asked, "Has Third Uncle read the letter?"
"I have seen it, so I came here in person." Wu Yang put away his thoughts and replied.
He asked with doubt, "Yaoyao, what is the matter in your letter?"
Jiang Luo glanced around the courtyard.
Wu Yang felt sorry for her caution, but at the same time he thought it was great that she was so alert.
Then he smiled and said, "Yaoyao, it's very safe here, don't worry."
Jiang Luo finally felt relieved.
She stared at her third uncle and said seriously, "Third uncle, these past few days, my mother has been coming to me in dreams every night. The things that happened in the dreams were so real that Yaoyao felt as painful as if she were there in person."
She hadn't slept much all night since she received her uncle's letter yesterday.
She had been thinking about how to tell these things to her uncle so that he would believe her but not scare him.
If she directly said that she had died once and was reborn, I'm afraid everyone would treat her, Jiang Luo, as a monster.
Finally, she decided to ask her mother to tell her these horrifying things in her dreams.
When Wu Yang heard her mention Rong'er, he felt sad.
She appeared in Yaoyao's dream, so she must be deeply concerned about them, right?
Then the little girl in front of him continued, "In my dream, I was framed by Qin and tricked into giving up my engagement to Jiang Yin. Then she married me to a beast and poisoned me to death."
When Jiang Luo talked about these things in his past life, he was as calm as if he was telling someone else's story.
When Wu Yang heard this, his face was filled with anger.
That evil woman Qin actually dared to humiliate his daughter Yaoyao to this extent!
"Next autumn, when Queen Ling celebrates her birthday, inappropriate words will appear on the jade ruyi that the Wu family prepared for the royal family. The current emperor will be furious, and the Wu family will be confiscated and exterminated." She said tremblingly.
She didn't dare to explain it in too much detail, for fear that she might accidentally go against the will of Heaven and change the direction of what was supposed to happen, and she would lose more than she gained.
Her rebirth was originally a life that God gave her out of pity.
She always felt grateful and awed.
Wu Yang looked at Jiang Luo in shock.
After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "These... these are what you saw in your dream?"
Jiang Luo nodded solemnly and said, "My mother dragged me to see it. The blood was pouring out of the guillotine in Yongjing that day, and they...they didn't allow anyone to collect the bodies."
Jiang Luo's tears started to flow again, and she quickly picked up the handkerchief and wiped them away stubbornly.
Jiang Yin told her all these things.
At that time she had not yet married Lin Wen.
That day she was embroidering a purse in the house when Jiang Yin hurried to Shaoguang Courtyard.
As soon as she entered the room, she said, "Big sister, the Wu family was beheaded today. I heard from the maid in the mansion that the blood was all over the floor. Alas, there was not even anyone to collect the bodies..."
Jiang Luo paused. The hand that was embroidering the purse had a bloody hole on it, and blood kept oozing out...
Then she comforted me, "Big sister, don't blame yourself. How can the Wu family be compared with you? The loss of a merchant is good for you. In the future, no one in Yongjing City will laugh at you for having a merchant family."
But Jiang Luo lowered his eyes at that time, and did not see the pride and contempt in Jiang Yin's eyes when she said this.
It’s just a matter of carving “Jiang Luo is so stupid” on his face.
A "dong" sound brought Jiang Luo back to his senses.
"Damn it." Wu Yang punched the bluestone round table, and a crack appeared on the table.
The Wu family was engaged in business and was very wealthy, so the sons all hired martial arts masters from a young age.
Wu Song and Wu Bo inherited and managed the family business. They traveled outside all year round, and their martial arts skills were not to be underestimated.
Only the third son, Wu Yang, learned the basics and was barely able to support himself. Since he was a scholar and did not like running a business, no one forced him to learn.
Jiang Luo hurriedly stood up and walked forward to lift up his hand, only to see that his hand was already covered in bruises.
