After breakfast, Mei Ruolan felt much better. She had regained her strength.
She got out of bed and said to Si Mufeng, "Mufeng, I'm off today. Let's go shopping."
"Sure, I don't have anything to do today anyway." Si Mufeng agreed and left with Mei Ruolan.
They shopped for the entire afternoon and had lunch outside before going their separate ways. Si Mufeng went back to the mansion while Mei Ruolan went back to her own home.
When Si Mufeng returned to the mansion, he saw Elder Si sitting in the living room. He had not gone to rest.
When he saw Si Mufeng, he said, "You're back?"
His voice was a little weak and Si Mufeng could hear it immediately. He asked, "Dad, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "
"I'm fine!" Elder Si glanced at Si Mufeng, but he was thinking about the news he had read in the afternoon.
It was a local news article about a man and a woman who had committed suicide by jumping off a building.
As for the reason, it was because their families were against them being together.
The man's mother didn't want him to marry the woman because she was an only daughter and her son was also an only son. After they got married, they would have to support four elderly people and it would be more stressful. Also, the woman's body looked soft and fleshy, so she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear a child.
Also, the woman's family was not very well-off, so the man's mother looked down on her and objected desperately.
But the man loved the woman deeply and didn't want to separate. In the end, they were forced by their families and committed suicide by drinking medicine in their own home.
This news was a big blow to Elder Si. Since ancient times, people who were deeply in love did not live long. People who were deeply in love usually lived shorter lives. He thought about how Si Mufeng was deeply in love with Mei Ruolan. Even after so many years, he only loved her.
He wondered if Si Mufeng would end his own life like the man in the news article if he objected.
Of course, he didn't really believe it. After all, Si Mufeng was a soldier. He had his own responsibilities and beliefs, and he was also very strong. He probably wouldn't give up his life so easily, but he was still a little worried. It was better to be safe than sorry.
What if Si Mufeng really took it too hard?
Therefore, after reading this report, he kept thinking about this matter in his heart, so he didn't go to rest at noon.
"Then why aren't you resting?" Si Mufeng sat down beside Elder Si and asked with concern.
He knew the old man's habit of resting for a while after lunch every day. But today, even though it was already so late, the old master still hadn't gone to rest.
"I can't sleep." Elder Si glanced at Si Mufeng plainly. How could he sleep when he had something on his mind? His opinion of Mei Ruolan was not wrong, but he also hoped that Si Mufeng would be happy.
However, he didn't feel comfortable agreeing to their marriage just like that.
"What's wrong? Is there something you can't solve?" Si Mufeng did not think too much about it. He had no idea that Old Master Si was worried about his marriage to Mei Ruolan.
"Take a look for yourself." Old Master Si glanced at Si Mufeng, then took out the newspaper and handed it to him.
"This is?" Si Mufeng looked at Old Master Si in confusion. It wasn't until Old Master Si signaled for him to read the newspaper that he lowered his head and started reading.
He glanced at it briefly and didn't find anything special, so he said, "There's nothing wrong with this newspaper."
"This!" Old Master Si pointed at the report of a man and a woman committing suicide for love.
