Chapter 14 - Chaos (II)

  Peony, according to what was discussed beforehand, was led away from Lin's mother by Yu He, while she herself sat in a pavilion without any cover on all sides and waited for Li Nympho. The so-called sordidness is born in the dark place, here people come and go, bright and transparent, simply does not have the conditions for the crime, even if someone wants to catch her faults can not be caught, she wants to be clean, honorable, take the dowry to get away from the peace and divorce, rather than being repudiated after being splashed with dirty water.   Li Nympho did not make her wait for long, quickly entering the pavilion without any nonsense: "Daniang, what do you have to say to me?"   Peony made a deep blessing, "Cousin, I can't live this life anymore, I want to make peace. Please help me."   After a long time without hearing Li Nympho's reply, Peony's heart was beating loudly, thinking, although she called this cousin, in the end, she is an outsider, it is normal that she does not want to get involved in this mess. If that was the case, she would have no choice but to make a break for it.   Li Nympho let out a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "It is better to tear down a temple than a marriage. If I agree to you, it seems like I'm doing something unethical."   Peony raised her eyes and looked at him, "It's only virtuous for you to help me! I need you to help me convince my parents and them. It was impossible to get into this marriage back then, since I'm better off now, and his family isn't happy about it, why not let each other live, and why force people to force themselves? Instead of groveling and living like this, I'd rather die!" Wouldn't it be too much of a shame to waste a great youth on such a person, on fighting with a group of women?   Li Nympho's eyes flickered as she said, "I see that you do seem to be thinking a lot more positively now than before. But you have to know that there is no turning back the arrow of the open bow, and there is no medicine for regrets in the world. Once you succeed, from now on, you will no longer have anything to do with him, and you will become a passerby when you meet, won't you regret it?"   Peony busily said, "I figured it out, I figured it out when I was sick last fall, if it's not mine, it's not mine, I can't ask for it. If my parents hadn't refused, I wouldn't have had the nerve to come and cause you trouble."   It seems that everyone knows that He Mudan is infatuated with Liu Chang. No wonder when she returned to Ningning last time, as soon as she and Mrs. He brought up the issue, Mrs. He scolded her for her childish temperament, and she simply didn't know how to take things seriously. She blamed the dead He Mudan for being a fool, and before that, she tried to cover up for Liu Chang, making him sound like a fool. As for last fall's serious illness, she was lucky not to die, but it only proved more and more that the Liu family was her He Mudan's lucky place. Speaking of which, the He family's requirements are really low, the main thing is that the daughter can live, and then have a name, without being harmed explicitly on the line.   Seeing that Li Nympho was sizing herself up to see if she was telling the truth, Peony nervously straightened her chest and tried to make her expression look resolute, trying to put on a revolutionary look of steadfastness and never regretting to show him.   Li Nympho pursed her lips and smiled, sort of believing that Peony was not a whim. He was very clear about the matter of He and Liu families: "In your case, just relying on auntie and auntie's consent is not enough, but Liu family's consent is also needed. At the beginning, the Liu family promised, if you do not, the responsibility is in his family, you have to pay back the money. First of all, do not have to say aunt and aunt they will not believe that you will leave the Liu family will be fine, just say the Liu family in order not to return the money will certainly find excuses to rely on not let go. Even if your aunt and uncle do not want the money, the Liu family in order to prevent the hands of no more chips, resulting in the leakage of that year, I am afraid that is also refused.   Besides, if you take the initiative to propose peace, is out of husband, Liu Chang's character has never been able to eat half a bit of loss, how would allow you to take the lead in proposing to abandon him? Moreover, on the surface, he has no obvious faults except for the matter of Qinghua. And this kind of thing, the world trend, the world has already seen the strange, his sentence changed also changed. Even if the last reluctant to agree to divorce, he will certainly also think out of this breath, anti-pouring of sewage to you, so, the person who suffers is still you. Therefore, this matter needs to be considered in the long run."   Peony said, "It is for these reasons that I need cousin to assist me. Earlier, I had thought about righteous extinction, but the conditions could not be met." Of the four conditions for righteous extinction, a husband committing a crime against his wife's clan, a husband's clan and wife committing a crime against each other, could not happen; while a wife committing a crime against her husband's clan, a wife committing a crime against her husband, she could go ahead and do it, but it was to the detriment of her own life.   Li Nympho's long and slender fingers gently knocked the pavilion pillar a few times, said, "Don't worry, you haven't begged me since you were a child, well at least open back, I always have to carefully plan for you."   "Assuming that I can get away with it, I can accept a slight loss." Although the status of women here is higher, it has always been a male-dominated society as well, Peony laughed, "If it's possible, I'd like to move out by this fall." Autumn was the breeding season for peony flowers, moving out at that time would be just the right time to carry out her plan, or else it would be delayed for another year for nothing.   "So urgent?" Li Nympho smiled slightly, "It seems like you're really dead set on it. Then what are your future plans?"   Peony tilted her head to think about it and smiled, "I haven't thought about it yet, but no matter what, it's always important to live well and try to live a good life. Try not to cause trouble for others, and not to call the onlookers jokes."   Li Nympho raised her eyes to look at her and whispered, "You will definitely get what you want."   Suddenly heard someone coughing heavily not far away, Peony looked back and saw Pan Rong and Jiang Changyang standing next to a clump of bamboo not far away, Pan Rong's neck stretched out, but was firmly grabbed by Jiang Changyang's sleeve. It seems that the two have long discovered themselves and Li Nympho, Pan Rong wanted to come over to watch the fun, but was Jiang Changyang pulled his sleeve, but also out to remind himself.   As a result, Pan Rong pulled her sleeve out from Jiang Chang Yang's hand with a depressed face and said loudly, "What are you hiding here to whisper?" This Jiang Changyang was really, if he hadn't been so nosy, he had dived in and taken the handle of those two, and it wouldn't have been good enough to coerce them for a time?   Li Nympho calmly bowed to Pan Rong and Jiang Chang Yang and laughed, "Joking aside, it's just a brother and sister who haven't seen each other for a long time and are catching up on old times." Peony smiled faintly from the side in agreement.   Pan Rong's eyes turned, swept back and forth between Peony and Li Nympho's faces a few times, but saw that both of them had a frank face, and thinking about it just now, he indeed did not see any rude behavior, not to mention that at this moment, he had already lost the first opportunity, so it was useless to say anything. So he opened a big smile and said cordially, "You have gone far this time, you haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's only right that you should catch up with your own family members."   Seeing his sudden change in attitude, Peony thought of Lady Bai's earlier reminder that he was going to count the flowers, and subconsciously wanted to avoid him, so she whispered, "Cousin, he's being attentive today, I'm afraid that he has ulterior motives."   This sickly and spoiled cousin even knows how to speculate on people's hearts nowadays? Li Nympho sniffed, glanced at her in surprise, and said in a low voice, "I know, later on you will go back first, I will send someone to contact you." After saying that, he went up to the front and climbed up to talk with Pan Rong in a smallpox.   Peony stood quietly on the side for a few moments, as she saw Yu He and mother Lin walking over with an umbrella and a food box not far away, she went up and took the food box and handed it to Li Nympho: "Please also send it to the home for my little sister." Then she excused herself.   Pan Rong said, "Don't go, younger sister, I have something to discuss with you."   Peony secretly sighed and smiled, "I don't dare to discuss, but please ask for your orders, Mr. Shizi."   Pan Rong said, "You're such a person. When I say this matter, no matter if you are willing or unwilling, it's still an order, it's as if I'm forcing you by force."   Li Nympho laughed, "Daniang, you can rest assured, if you are unwilling, Shizi Master will definitely not force you." He also looked to Jiang Changyang who had been silent at the side: "This Jiang brother, you also heard what Master Shizi said, is this what he meant?"   That Jiang Changyang smiled faintly, opened his two slightly thin lips, and said decisively, "Yes."   "What kind of people are they! Underestimating me like this, I'll fight you all!" Pan Rong rolled his eyes and looked at Peony again with a fawning smile, "Sibling, truth be told, I have something important to ask for, and you are the only one in the world who can help me, if you don't help me, I'm going to die!"   Li Nympho burst out, "Please be careful with your words, Mr. Shizi!" Mother Lin also pulled Peony behind herself, glaring warily at Pan Rong.   Pan Rong tsked and said, "As for that? I was trying to buy two flowers from my younger siblings at a high price, how is that not self-respect? It's that pot of Wei Zi and the Jade House Pointed Jade, if sister-in-law is willing to part with it, I'm willing to offer a million dollars."   Peony silently did the math, a million dollars, even if a joint is worth a thousand dollars, it's still enough for her to sell a thousand joints, or for people to visit the garden ten thousand times. It wasn't too much of a loss for the others, but for her, it was a great loss. Imagine, after five years, how many can be bred through her hands? This one million dollars, what was it worth? At that moment, she laughed and said, "Shizi master is making it difficult for the little woman, earlier when the county princess asked for it the little woman had said that this is the dowry capital gifted by her parents ......"   Pan Rong anxious, looked at Jiang Changyang, said: "She that is to take by force, you previously was unable to swallow that breath, naturally can not give, I also fulfill you. But she that temper, I'm afraid that after a bucket of boiling water will give you dead, but you can not cry out. Now I sincerely pay for you to buy it, you sell it to me but it's a great benefit, the flower is alive, you get the benefit, and it's just right to kill her, there are still favors in it, several benefits in one move, why not?"   Peony smiled faintly: "Even if the flower is killed by a bucket of boiling water, it is my incompetence, not my fault. But if I sell them, it is my fault." Today she sold these two pots of flowers, I'm afraid that in a few days, will not be able to keep a pot.   Pan Rong hated, "You're a real elm! For nothing, I was born with this good skin. No wonder it is not pleasing ...... to the eye."   Jiang Changyang busy persuade: "Do not want to sell even if, business is not benevolent in, why do you want to hurt people?"
