How can this have anything to do with me? I'm a loyal supporter of China's wise policies, and I can't only marry one wife. Moreover, I'm much smarter than this Old Xu. Xu Wenzhang was smart in all things, but he was dumb in this matter. If I were him, I would directly kidnap Su Qinglian and have her marry into the bridal chamber if she wanted to play with me. Then, I would give birth to a few children and see how she would "love me wholeheartedly" no matter what.
"Why should I learn from him? He's so dumb." Lin Wanrong said, "This old man should learn from me."
"Learn from you what?" The Grand Mistress wiped her tears.
"Learn from me. Be strong, domineering, loving, and courageous. When it comes to the girl you like, if you can't stand up straight, then use force. If you can't stand up straight, then use force. If you can't stand up straight, then use force. There are thousands of ways to do it. Just don't let go. This Old Man Xu, on the other hand, is so stupid."
What was supposed to be a touching scene was completely ruined by Lin San's hooligan remarks. Missy was furious and annoyed. She didn't know what was wrong with this person. When he laughed, he could make people cry. But when he cried, he could make people laugh. How annoying. She hated him to death.
Before they could finish talking, they heard the sound of a zither string snapping. Looking closely, it was Su Qinglian's pale fingers that forcefully snapped the zither string. She looked at Xu Wei and said slowly, "Young Master Xu, this zither was given to me by you in the past. I'll return it to you today to settle the thirty years of friendship."
Xu Wei's lips quivered, but he could not say anything. Su Qinglian smiled miserably and rushed out of the cabin, ready to jump into the lake.
However, Lin Wanrong reacted quickly and caught up to her. He pulled Su Qinglian's sleeve and said, "Sister Su, the water here is shallow. We have to go there."
"What, what do you mean?" Su Qinglian was shocked.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "I've come to fulfill your wish."
As they spoke, Xu Wei had already caught up to them. He grabbed Su Qinglian's hand and said agitatedly, "Qinglian, don't be rash. I let you down back then, and I apologize to you. Please give me another chance."
Su Qinglian sobbed. "What's the point of telling me this now? Let me go, let me die."
Xu Wei held onto Su Qinglian tightly, and the two of them became entangled.
Lin Wanrong was depressed when he saw this. These two people were clearly in love with each other, yet they were acting like this. He really had to give it to them. They were already in their fifties or sixties, yet they were still acting like this.
The Grand Mistress walked to his side and said with a frown, "What should we do?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Where's the red thread hidden in your sleeve?"
The Grand Mistress blushed. "Who hid that red thread? What do you need it for?"
Lin Wanrong pointed at Su Qinglian and Xu Wei and said with a smile, "Look at how awkward the two of them are. Who knows, we might have to play matchmaker again."
The Grand Mistress immediately understood what he meant. She covered her mouth and laughed. "I knew you're full of wicked ideas."
"Alright, alright, don't pull me anymore." Lin Wanrong walked to Xu Wei's side, pulled his arm, and inserted an embroidery needle into his robe. Then, she said in a clear voice, "Please listen to me."
The Grand Mistress held onto Su Qinglian tightly and attached the needle to her robe.
"Who are you, Young Master?" Su Qinglian asked while crying, but she was asking Lin Wanrong.
"Who am I?" Lin Wanrong chuckled. "I'm Lin San. Xu Wenzhang is known as the world's most talented scholar, but I'm number two. Remember this, Miss Su. You must thank me when your wish is fulfilled in the future. "
"What wish do you want when you're about to die?" Su Qinglian sobbed.
Lin Wanrong smiled. "Although life is like grass, there's still spring and autumn fruits. How can you talk about life and death so easily? Sister Su, thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Do you still care about this moment? "
Su Qinglian sighed. Lin Wanrong caught the hint of hesitation in her mind and said, "Mr. Xu, Sister Su, I'm here to ask you a few questions. Please answer them carefully and don't lie. This concerns your future, and you must not be careless."
Xu Wei naturally knew that Lin San wanted to help him and nodded hurriedly, but Su Qinglian did not say anything.
"Mr. Wenzhang, have you forgotten about Miss Su all these years?" Lin Wanrong asked unhurriedly.
At this critical juncture, Xu Wenzhang couldn't care less about his face and hurriedly said, "What do you mean by that? Thirty winters and summers, when have I ever forgotten Qinglian? Even if it's letters, I don't know how many have come."
It turned out that Xu Wenzhang was still writing love letters to Su Qinglian. This was quite rare. Lin Wanrong asked, "Then why haven't you come to look for Miss Su?"
Xu Wei sighed. "Back then, Qinglian's letter was known to the entire world and blocked all paths. Even if I wanted to, how could I have the face to see her?"
Lin Wanrong nodded and turned to Su Qinglian. "Miss Su, do you really not miss Mr. Xu anymore?"
Su Qinglian snorted with a straight face, but a trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes. Lin Wanrong smiled. "Let me answer this question on behalf of you. Miss Su, you've been keeping your hair tied up for more than thirty years. You miss Su, but you also worry and hate Su Qinglian. The distant yearning is as long as water, and the resentment is as dense as needles. At this point, you can no longer tell whether it's hatred or yearning. Am I right, Miss Su? "
Su Qinglian blushed and sighed, but she did not deny it in the end.
Lin Wanrong continued. "Mr. Xu, does your wife know that you're looking for Miss Su?"
"She's no longer around," Xu Wenzhang said sadly.
"You only came to look for me because she's no longer around? You heartless, heartless person. "Su Qinglian started sobbing again.
Lin Wanrong glanced at Xu Wei. Can't this old man speak more tactfully? He sighed. "Stop arguing, stop arguing. Both of you are unmarried, and both of you are in love with each other. You've missed each other for more than thirty years, so why are you trying to kill each other the moment you meet? Forgive me for saying something inappropriate, but how many years do you have left to live? Why do you have to be so reserved and miss this last opportunity? "
"Mr. Xu, Miss Su, you can't separate even if you want to. The red thread has already been tied, so how can you break it off just like that?" The Grand Mistress said with a smile.
Xu Wei and Su Qinglian hurriedly looked down, only to see a thin red thread connecting the two of them.
Both of them blushed at the same time. They knew that it must be the young couple's doing. After all, Xu Wei had been a first-rank official for many years, and he still had the aura he should have. He grabbed Su Qinglian's hand and said, "Qinglian, I've really been missing you."
Su Qinglian's pale face blushed, but she did not know what to say and could only let her tears fall.
This Old Man Xu had a good grasp of timing and was quite good at picking up girls. Lin Wanrong pulled the Grand Mistress to the side and smiled. "The next program is not suitable for children, so let's not watch it. Don't delay them."
The Grand Mistress followed him to the side and sat on the railing by the side of the boat. "You were just serious for a while, and now you're up to no good again." She glanced at Su Qinglian from afar and said softly, "Miss Su is a role model for all women in the world. She is willing to die to prove her love."
Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled. "Grand Mistress, I think Miss Su is quite cunning."
"What cunning?" The Grand Mistress frowned. "Do you think everyone in the world is as cunning as you?"
Lin Wanrong chuckled. "Grand Mistress, think about it. Can Su Qinglian really die after jumping into the river in front of Mr. Xu?"
Xiao Yuruo was stunned. There were a few boats beside Lord Xu, and they were all his guards. Even if Miss Su fell into the river, they would be able to save her quickly. Thinking about it this way, Su Qinglian really could not die.
Seeing the Grand Mistress frown, Lin Wanrong smiled. "From what I see, Miss Su is doing this to show Mr. Wen Zhang. It's a small punishment for his betrayal, and it's also a way for Miss Su to get out of this embarrassing situation. It's a very good plan. "Lin Wanrong was no stranger to women's methods of crying, throwing a tantrum, and threatening to hang themselves.
"You mean to say that Miss Su has already forgiven Mr. Xu?" The Grand Mistress asked doubtfully.
Lin Wanrong nodded. "Of course. I'm afraid that Miss Su had already started regretting after writing that letter back then. It's just that she was regarded as a role model by you women, and it was already difficult for her to back down. Mr. Xu and she could not let go of their pride, and this dragged on for thirty years. Actually, there's only a piece of paper between them. Once it's pierced, everything will be fine. "Lin Wanrong sighed.
Thinking about it carefully, wasn't it just a piece of paper? The Grand Mistress sighed in her heart. She glanced at Lin San and chuckled. "You've done a good deed by tying this red thread today, but your technique is terrible."
"How is it terrible?" Lin Wanrong asked in confusion.
"You've tied this red thread to the wrong place."
"Then where should it be tied?" Lin Wanrong asked curiously.
"The red thread is tied to the ankle. You're the second most talented scholar in the world, but you haven't even heard of this story?" The Grand Mistress smiled proudly. Like a naive little girl, she lifted her little foot and proudly showed it off for a while. Then, she inadvertently tied the red thread to her delicate ankle.
Sweat, this, I really haven't studied it before. Lin Wanrong held the mentality of pure academic research. He tied the other end of the red thread to his own foot and said, "Is it enough to tie it like this? I don't think it's very reliable. I and the Grand Mistress are not fated to be together, so how can I tie it?"
Xiao Yuruo was stunned. She stared blankly at the red thread tied to their feet. Her face suddenly turned fiery red. She whispered, "Lin San, don't tie it blindly. Quickly untie the one on your foot." As she spoke, her face was flushed red. She turned her head away, not daring to look at him.
"Why don't you untie it?" Lin Wanrong laughed. "You want to be lazy over such a small matter?"
He was about to untie the red thread when he heard a few 'shua shua' sounds. A few black shadows suddenly appeared from below. Their swords flashed. One of them shouted, "Kill Xu Wei."
The other person's sword flashed very quickly. Without any deviation, it struck the red thread on the two's feet.
Without a sound, the red thread was cut in the middle.
