EBE Chapter 235 Nalan
Chapter 235 Nalan
The Wang family is a declining family.
For many years, the Wang family had farmland within a few miles around them. But when the previous head of the Wang family squandered his wealth, he sold all of it to pay off his debts.
Lou Xiao followed the farmers he met on the road, turning around and around, and after walking through an unusually narrow path, he finally saw a low house not far away and the wet land next to it that was planted with lush green vegetables.
"Is it here?" Lou Xiao was confused.
The farmer hid behind a tree and refused to show himself. He whispered, "We are all from the same village. It would be bad if we were seen. Aren't you looking for the ex-husband of the Wang family? He lives there!"
Lou Xiao said speechlessly, "What are you afraid of——"
"Oh! You don't understand. He has a bad temper. When he gets angry, he can chase someone with a knife for a whole day and night!" Of course, it was an exaggeration, but he was indeed very irritable.
"If his temper was a little better, even if the head of the Wang family was hopeless, he would not be bewitched by a foreigner from Nanzi. Tell me, which woman would be willing to live with a man with a bad temper?"
Hearing about the place called Nanzi, Lou Xiao stopped the farmer who wanted to leave quietly.
"What did you just say? Nanzi people?"
The farmer took her money and couldn't do nothing, so he nodded and said,
"She is from Nanzi, everyone knows that. It is said that she has a sharp tongue, and she is young and strong. With her sweet talk, the head of the Wang family will surely fall for her."
Lou Xiao told herself that Nan Zi was not necessarily the one, but she still asked inexplicably,
"——Then, have you ever seen that Nanzi man? What does he look like?"
At this time, the old farmer shook his head and said, "The head of the Wang family treasures her very much. I have never seen her before. But I know that she must be extremely beautiful, otherwise the head of the Wang family would not be so obsessed with her that he would lose all his money in the casino.
Her husband is a poor man, and he is still paying off his debts. If he really doesn't have any, don't push him too hard—"
The farmer still had some conscience and advised Lou Xiao a few words, thinking in his heart that if anything happened, he couldn't be blamed, because I did give him a reminder.
Lou Xiao waved her hand to let the old farmer leave, and went to meet the ex-husband of the Wang family.
As she got closer, she saw a man in coarse linen clothes standing with his back to her.
He bent over to fetch water from a well, pounding his waist hard to relieve the discomfort. There were a few white strands of hair on his shoulders, and he looked like he had suffered a lot.
Lou Xiao's appearance did not attract his attention, so she had to cough lightly to direct the man's attention.
When Nalan Qiu turned around and saw Lou Xiao, he was startled at first, and then a bitter smile immediately appeared on his face.
"——Are you here to see her? I broke up with her many years ago. If you want money, you've found the wrong person."
The man in front of him looked to be about forty years old. Although he was old, there was still some youthful charm on his face. It was obvious that he was once a well-educated man.
"I'm not here for the money. I came to you to ask you something."
Lou Xiao got straight to the point, "I want to know what happened to the Wang family."
Nalan Qiu stood there for a long time without moving, as if recalling the past, and in the end he only said the same old thing:
"Things change."
Since this woman didn't know where she came from, she naturally said less and made fewer mistakes.
"The Wang family is still somewhat well-known in the martial arts world. There must be a reason why such a large family business could be ruined just like that."
She walked into the small house. "If you don't explain it to me, I won't give up."
Nalan Qiu looked at Lou Xiao approaching and took a few steps back defensively, his whole body rejecting her approach.
In order to put his mind at ease, Lou Xiao took the initiative to say, "I heard it was because of a Nanzi man? Where was he when the Wang family was in trouble?"
Nalan Qiu walked around and sat on a rough log stool, picking some seedlings of unknown vegetable.
He lowered his head and seemed to be smiling bitterly, "Nanzi people - even without him, the Wang family would have been at the end of its rope."
He stopped and looked up to ask her, "Excuse me, young lady, in what capacity do you ask? Have you seen her? Is she still alive?"
"She got into a big trouble, and I'm here to get to the bottom of it." Lou Xiao didn't answer the second question, but Nalan Qiu already knew the answer.
"She is still..." Nalan Qiu's eyes were a little moist, and he took a deep breath, "Since she has paid the price for her willfulness, can you tell me where she is buried?"
The person is dead, and the past is like a passing cloud. After all, she has been his wife and husband for more than ten years, and even if they have many grievances, they still don't want her to become a lonely ghost outside.
You must return to your hometown and be buried in peace.
Lou Xiao shook her head, "I can't tell you."
"That means you will die without a burial place." Nalan Qiu looked up at the sky, suppressed his sadness, and smiled bitterly. He was unable to utter a word for a long time.
Lou Xiao looked at the vast expanse of land in front of the house. Nalan Qiu had stayed here since he left the Wang family, cultivating the land himself and supporting himself as a farmer.
Why don't you stay away? Maybe you still worry about her.
"After the Wang family was destroyed, she came to look for me. I thought she had accepted her fate and was willing to give up everything and become an idle farmer with me, but she left anyway."
Nalan Qiu could never forget their past, and even though she had betrayed him, he still couldn't bear to hate her.
"If I try to stop her...how can I stop her?" Nalan Qiu looked obviously dejected. He dropped the seedlings in his hand and put the back of his hand over his eyes to hide his sadness.
Lou Xiao waited for him to calm down, and seeing him in so much pain, she didn't know whether coming here was right or wrong.
"Do you remember who that Nanzi person is? What are his characteristics? I suspect she was used by that person. Now that she has been executed, the person behind the scenes should also be found out and made to pay the price."
Nalan Qiu finally calmed down and looked at Lou Xiao without saying anything more.
"I don't know who he is. I only met him once." Nalan Qiu recalled the shock that one meeting brought to him.
"He really is - so beautiful. No one can keep their sanity in his presence. When you see him you can't help but give everything you have just to make him smile."
With the beauty of sin, you will step into it even though you know it is a vortex trap.
Nalan Qiu knew it was over at that time.
"beautiful?"
Lou Xiao is incredible. No matter how beautiful she is, she is just a shell, not a poison that can captivate people.
"I know you don't believe it, but the moment I saw him, it seemed as if I didn't belong to myself anymore."
Nalan Qiu sank into his memories, "I have also seen countless celebrities and beauties in Yunsu City, but none of them could compare to him in the slightest."
"She gave him everything in the Wang family, fearing that he would leave. She even thought that he was implicated and killed by her when the Wang family was destroyed, and she kept talking about revenge."
Lou Xiao suddenly interrupted, "Does the so-called everything also include the Thousand Silk Rains?"
