After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 304 Finale (1)

Seeing that Chang Wei had already left the house, Manager Chang took Qin Mei's hand and said, "During the days when I'm away, you can't look for another man."

Qin Mei pulled her hand away in disdain: "You and I are together just for the sake of happiness. If you want to control me and make me unhappy, I will no longer have any feelings for you..."

"Then it's up to you. I won't care about it anymore. Just don't ignore me." Manager Chang said anxiously.

Qin Mei gave a look that was almost the same.

Seeing that Chang Wei had climbed over the wall, Manager Chang looked at her, looking back every few steps, before leaving.

After Jiang Xiaohe woke up, she felt like she had just had a dream. She raised her hand and touched her hair, only to find that the hairpin was gone. Then she realized that it was not a dream and Chang Wei had really been here.

She didn't even have time to put on her shoes. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Qin Mei coming in with food: "She's been gone for an hour."

"He really came?"

Qin Mei nodded.

"Are they really going to suppress the bandits?"

Qin Mei still nodded.

Jiang Xiaohe shook her head: "No, I have to go see him."

"It's too late."

Jiang Xiaohe stood there in a daze.

"They are just passing by, ma'am, let's eat first."

Jiang Xiaohe sat in front of the table and felt that the food was boring.

In the following days, Jiang Xiaohe visited relatives during the New Year, and she looked sad every day.

Everyone is watching.

Jiang Xiaohe wrote a letter to the county town to ask Meng Hetang if they really went to suppress the bandits. Meng Hetang answered in the affirmative, but he couldn't help but complain in the letter that she was too heartless...

Another month has passed, and recently everyone in the town has been talking about the county magistrate leading people to suppress bandits.

Some supported it, thinking that the county magistrate was getting rid of harm to the people, while others disagreed and said that he was just trying to hit a rock with an egg.

Jiang Xiaohe also asked Qin Mei to inquire about it every day.

But there was no good result.

Yes, the imperial court sent people to suppress bandits twice, but nothing good happened both times. What good results could they expect from suppressing bandits?

She felt uncomfortable when she thought of this.

Wang Qiuxia and Zhang Fu also heard about the county magistrate leading people to suppress the bandits. Then they heard from Qin Mei that Chang Wei was among the people suppressing the bandits. They were filled with emotion for a moment.

Another month passed, and Qin Mei rushed in from outside: "Madam, the bandit suppression was successful."

"Really?" Jiang Xiaohe's eyes lit up and she stood up from her seat happily.

In the next few days, Jiang Xiaohe was thinking all day long that Chang Wei was coming to see her, and she couldn't help but dress up every day.

But she waited for one day and no one came. She waited for two days and no one came. She waited for almost half a month and finally someone came, but this person was Chang Guanshi, not Chang Wei.

I saw that he still had wounds on his body and gauze sewn on his head.

"Madam Jiang, this is what my master asked me to give you."

"What about others?"

Manager Chang smiled bitterly, his voice choked with sobs as he said, "My master won't be back."

Jiang Xiaohe stepped back in disbelief, shaking her head slightly.

Manager Chang put the letter on the table and said, "Please take a look."

It took a long time before she had the strength to tear open the letter.

The first sentence was: "Xiao He, if you read this letter, I may have to break my promise. If I don't come back alive, I won't be able to marry you..."

Tears blurred her eyes, and Jiang Xiaohe blinked for a long time before she could see the words on the letter clearly.

"My life has been dead since the year my family was in trouble. Apart from the belief of revenge and wanting to leave a descendant for my family, everything else was boring to me. Until later I met you. You are so vivid that you made my stagnant body come alive. I don't know where the love comes from, but it is so deep and lasting. If there is an afterlife, I wish I could meet you earlier."

The tears I had held back for so long finally fell.

She held the letter against her chest, not daring to cry out loud. After a long moment, she asked.

"Where is his body?"

Manager Chang shook his head. "He fell off the cliff with the bandit leader. He had been stabbed several times before he fell. There was no chance of him surviving. When we went down to look for him, he and the bandit leader had been eaten by wild beasts. Only two sets of blood-stained clothes were left on the ground."

"Since only his clothes were left, how can you be sure that he is really dead?"

Manager Chang took out the broken jade hairpin from his arms.

"This was found in the clothes that were torn by the wild beast. If he were still alive, he would definitely take this jade hairpin with him."

Holding the broken jade hairpin, Jiang Xiaohe could no longer hold back her tears, and the fantasy in her heart was shattered.

Manager Chang stepped out.

Qin Mei sighed and closed the door silently.

Everyone in the yard felt very sad when they heard her crying.

Wang Qiuxia looked at Zhang Fu and asked with tears in her eyes: "If we hadn't pushed her like that at the beginning, would this not have happened?"

It turned out that what they said that night was deliberately meant for Jiang Xiaohe to hear, but their original intention was just to make her think more about them and the children when making a choice, and let her stay in this family for a while longer.

Wang Qiuxia covered her mouth, feeling very upset: "Why should she have to endure the same thing twice?"

Zhang Fu patted her on the shoulder and sighed, "This is fate!"

Jiang Xiaohe cried for the whole afternoon. Everyone knew she was sad but did not disturb her. Qin Mei just put down the meal and left.

She didn't leave her room for two consecutive days, and didn't even eat a bite of the food Qin Mei brought in.

Qin Mei couldn't bear it anymore.

"Are you going to torture yourself to death?"

Jiang Xiaohe sat on the bed, hugged her feet, put her face on her knees and murmured, "I'm not torturing myself, I'm just blaming myself."

Her tears fell again: "I blame myself for being so hesitant in everything I do. I blame myself for not following my heart and accepting him earlier. I blame myself even more for not choosing him, which made him want to die. But in fact, I promised him, I promised him that I would marry him as long as he came back alive! But he didn't come back..."

Jiang Xiaohe was so exhausted that she could hardly catch her breath.

Seeing that she was too excited, Qin Mei directly slapped her on the shoulder and carried her to the bed: "His death was not caused by you, have a good sleep, and everything will be fine when you wake up."

She slept for a whole day and night. Just when Wang Qiuxia was thinking whether she should go see a doctor, she woke up.

After she woke up, she didn't cry anymore, but she would become distracted no matter what she was doing.
