Son of the Dragon (11)
Just as Zhao Rulian was about to say something, Liu Yu jumped in and said, "Yes, she is my mother. Maybe you will find it strange why my mother looks younger than me. This is because my mother is a fairy in the sky. I Dad is a mortal..."
"Xiaoyu, don't talk nonsense to him again!" Zhao Rulian regretted not stopping Liu Yu from saying this.
When Liangyuan heard this, he laughed in his heart. The match between a fairy in the sky and a mortal was naturally a private marriage. This gave Liangyuan some confidence, so he warned in a voice that Liu Yu couldn't hear: "Fairy, what do you want? If you let heaven know that you are married to a mortal, you can tell me who I am, but I have to remind you first that I am a member of the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea, and I have the permission of the Dragon Prince to come to the mortal world. I am not some wild monster. , don’t try to deal with me under the guise of destroying demons, otherwise you may be the one who suffers.”
Hearing what Liangyuan said, Zhao Rulian was dubious, but she couldn't take the risk. I'm afraid her daughter would also be affected. Now she can only bet that what Yu Liangyuan said is true, and if he is really the Dragon Prince Others may still have hope of becoming immortals, and their daughter will also be found by then. The more she thought about it, the more Zhao Rulian felt this way. Coupled with what the Taoist priest said, Zhao Rulian wondered if she was referring to Liang Yuan. The appearance of people? Thinking about it, I feel that the mystery of the words coincides with this matter.
"Xiaoyu, it's getting late, it's time to go back." Zhao Rulian didn't tell her that Liang Yuan was a fish spirit, because she had already thought about it.
Liu Yu heard this and responded quickly: "My daughter will go back with her mother right now."
Liangyuan smiled and said, "Liangyuan would like to send you to my aunt." Seeing Liu Yu leave with Zhao Rulian, Liangyuan felt relieved. He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat just now. If he really wanted to fight with the fairy, He Yu Jing didn't have much chance of winning. If Ao She didn't speak up for him and take the matter down, and God would blame him, he wouldn't have any chance of survival.
After Zhao Rulian brought Liu Yu back to the Liu family, he returned to his room and began to think about the matter over and over again. It is not difficult to imagine that Zhao Rulian knew that Yu Jing had spent all his efforts to make Liu Yu like him. At this time, Zhao Rulian She also understood that Yu Jing's injury was fake, but the difficulty now was that she couldn't tell this matter, otherwise it would be detrimental to everyone. Furthermore, she saw that Yu Jing had no intention of harming Liu Yu, so she felt relieved.
Liu Yu, on the other hand, is still a little worried. Even if her mother finds out what happened between her and Liang Yuan, she still has no idea about what will happen tomorrow. What will happen tomorrow? Liu Yu didn't know. After thinking about it, he didn't sleep all night. When he got up in the morning, he asked his servant to go to the Yamen to inquire about the news. The servant didn't come back until almost noon.
"Miss."
"Tell me, how's it going?"
"I heard that Mr. Nao will be beheaded at noon today."
"What? What did Mr. Liang say?"
"Master Liang wanted to let Mr. Nao go, but Nao She has already confessed. This is a fact and there is no way to change it."
"How could this happen..." Liu Yu felt anxious. Seeing that Ao She was about to die, what else could she do to save him? She decided to go to Liangyuan to beg for mercy. "Prepare the sedan quickly."
"Yes, miss."
As soon as the servant left, Liu Yucheng came in. Seeing Liu Yu's uneasy expression, he hurriedly asked: "Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"
"Dad, Young Master Ao will be beheaded today!"
"Today?"
"Well, I will be beheaded at noon."
"Hey, there's no point in being anxious."
"But, dad, Mr. Nao confessed his crime because of you. If something happens to him now, how can you make your daughter feel at ease?"
Liu Yucheng nodded and replied: "Dad knows how you feel, but there is nothing I can do. I used money to clear it up, but it didn't work. Mr. Liang doesn't want money, so what should I do as a father?"
"My daughter will go to the Yamen in person."
Hearing that Liu Yu was going to the Yamen, Liu Yucheng hurriedly asked: "Are you going to plead with Mr. Liang on behalf of Mr. Ao?"
"Hopefully it's not too late."
"It's useless. If Mr. Liang could let him go, he would have let him go a long time ago. By this time, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"How will you know if you don't try?"
"Since you insist on going, dad will ask someone to prepare some money for you."
"No need, dad, Mr. Liang is not that kind of person." When Liu Yu saw the servant coming, she knew that the sedan chair was ready, so she turned around and left.
Liu Yucheng looked at Liu Yu's hurried back, shook his head and sighed: "Hey, if I had known you cared so much, wouldn't it have been better not to let him plead guilty?" Liu Yucheng didn't know that his daughter had fallen in love with Master Liang again, If he knew, he would be as happy as anything. He, Liu Yucheng, has made a lot of money in these years, so he just works as an official. If he is rich and has officials to take care of him, what else can he, Liu Yucheng, have in Jin'an County? Afraid?
Liu Yucai didn't think about this, she just hurried to the Yamen, urging the sedan bearers to go faster. Fortunately, when she arrived at the Yamen, her good wishes were still there. The two of them entered the inner hall, and after retreating from the others, they talked.
"No matter what, you must save Mr. Bao. If you don't think about anything else, just because he saved my father."
"Eh..." Liangyuan shook his head.
Liu Yu walked up to Liang Yuan and said gently: "Can't you make an exception for me?"
"But he is a thief merchant who colludes with pirates."
"Whether he is or is not, doesn't it all depend on you? Besides, do you have any other evidence? If not, why not let him live?"
"Liu Yu..."
"Just because I'm about to get married." Liu Yu looked at Liang Yuan affectionately. She didn't want to be so uneasy about getting married. If Ao She died, could she still be happy with Liang Yuan with peace of mind? She can't do it.
Liang Yuan watched
He was about to win, how could he lose to Ao She at the last moment? There was a cunning look in his eyes, he looked down at Liu Yu and asked softly: "You care about him so much, what about me?"
"I know it's very difficult for you, but you don't want me to get married without peace of mind, right?"
"Liu Yu, don't you understand that I don't want to kill him because of jealousy, but..." Liangyuan deliberately showed a sad look, paused, and then said: "The Holy One has decreed that he will not be eradicated within half a month. You profiteer, I will be punished by death... Today is the last day..."
"What..." Liu Yu had never heard Liang Yuan mention this matter before. She didn't expect it to be like this. What should she do now? On the one hand, there is a desire to survive, and on the other, there is a good wish. If the good wish does not die, something will happen to the good wish. Liu Yu does not understand why this is the result. In her heart, both men are good people, but the one she likes is Liang Yuan. , instead of giving up and choosing one of the two to live, she has only one choice...
At noon, there were not many people watching at the execution ground. Liang Yuan was sitting high up, watching the tied prisoners below being tortured... At this time, Liu Yu was also in the crowd, looking at the prisoner who was about to be beheaded with tears in his eyes. Ao She, Ao She saw Liu Yu, but saw three words from Liu Yu's mouth: I'm sorry...
A word of sorry...Aoshe closed his eyes, he lost...A word of 'chop', Aoshe's head fell to the ground...
Liangyuan smiled proudly. When Liu Yu noticed Liangyuan's smile, it was too late. She felt as if she didn't know Liangyuan, and returned to Liu Mansion without a care in the world.
Four days later, Liangyuan came to propose marriage. Liu Yucheng smiled from ear to ear, and Zhao Rulian did not object. When they all finalized the marriage, Liu Yu didn't know that she had locked herself in the room for four whole days. Damn it, the maid Yun'er couldn't help but tell Liu Yu the good news, but Liu Yu was not happy at all.
Yun'er noticed Liu Yu's unhappiness and asked in a low voice, "Is the lady still sad about Mr. Bo?"
"Yun'er, tell me the truth, am I sorry for Master Ao?" Liu Yu sat on the edge of the bed frustrated, without combing her hair or washing her face.
Yun'er was just a maid. Although she was talkative sometimes, she was also measured. Now Liu Yu asked her to answer this question. Yun'er didn't know how to respond, so she had to say: "No."
"you are lying….."
"Miss…"
"Mr. Nao was affectionate and righteous to me, but I fell in love with someone else, failed him, and let him die unjustly... A woman like me is too bad..."
"Miss, there is nothing you can do. You were trying to save the master at the beginning."
"...You are wrong. I was not trying to save the master, but was selfish..." Liu Yu thought about it for four days, and finally figured out that what she did was selfish. First, she confessed to her father, and then In the end, she wanted to save Liang Yuan's life and let Ao She die. She really thought clearly, so she understood that no matter how much she regretted it, it was too late. She couldn't see her conscience in her tears.
On the other side, there was a person who was so happy that he didn't know how to describe it. After Liu Yucheng agreed to his marriage to Liu Yu, Liangyuan hurried back to the inn and told Nao She the good news.
"Your Highness, you lose now. The Liu family has agreed to my marriage."
"Okay." Ao She had already changed into the Dragon Prince's attire, looking very heroic. He stood up and said with a smile: "Since you won, I have nothing to say. I will allow you to stay in the world for a hundred years." After that, Ao She turned into a dragon and flew into the air, diving into the East China Sea.
Liang Yuan smiled. With his own strategy, he finally won the victory. Although Liu Yu was dispensable to him, in order to conceal his identity in the world, it was good to have a wife, not to mention that this wife also had A mother who is a fairy. The next thing he has to do is of course 'resign'. Only in this way will other people not be suspicious, and then some of other people's memories will be washed away, so that no one will know about his good intention to pretend to be an official of the imperial court. All this was done perfectly, but on his wedding day, he received a warning from Zhao Rulian. Zhao Rulian took advantage of Liangyuan to pretend to be drunk and stopped Liangyuan on his way back to his new house.
"...Mother..." Liang Yuan smiled and looked at Zhao Rulian.
Zhao Rulian nodded: "It's good to know that I am your mother. I hope you won't do anything harmful to the world again, otherwise I will definitely not let you go."
"How could I? Mom...hahahahaha" Liangyuan laughed and walked towards the new house, leaving Zhao Rulian behind.
