Chapter 150 The silkworm will not stop spinning silk until it dies, and the candle will not stop shedding tears until it burns down to ashes! [Two in one, please subscribe]

Wei Shan's expression suddenly changed, and he said in disbelief:
"An imperial edict was sent to the Chen family?!"

"Guan Hai, where did you hear this news?"

Wei Shan was obviously a little hurried when he said this.

He was a little bit unconvinced. How could such a small Chen family be related to the imperial court?
Guan Hai said truthfully:
"No need to ask, the whole Chenjia Village has heard about it now, this is absolutely true!"

"Master, do you think we should still prevent the young lady from marrying into the Chen family?"

Wei Shan's eyes turned cold and he sneered:

"If she goes to the Chen family, will we still have this luxurious life for the rest of our lives?"

Guan Hai was silent.

He also witnessed the ugly monster cursing Meili that year, even though he was Wei Shan's younger brother.

But over the years, I have benefited a lot from following him.

Not only did he own several mansions and a large amount of land, but he also changed the women around him several times.

Life is so carefree and happy.

But he changed his mind and said helplessly:

"But the lady has already agreed to Chen Xin's proposal."

"In a few days, Chen Xin will come to Weijiabao to propose marriage."

Wei Shan sneered, "I don't believe that Chen Xin really likes this ugly guy!"

"Most likely he is coveting the wealth of Weijiabao!"

"If he really dares to come, I don't mind..."

As he spoke, there was a vicious gleam in his eyes.

Guan Hai understood what Wei Shan meant, but the situation was different now.

He said:

"Master, after all, the Chen family has received rewards from the court, especially Chen Xin's second brother Chen Xiaohu, who is also a disciple of Shaolin's abbot Sanzang Fangzhang. He is a strong man in the realm of soul refining. If we touch the Chen family, who can guarantee that Chen Xiaohu will not find someone to retaliate against us?"

"I heard that Chen Xiaohu has a senior brother named Lin Xuan. This person has great cultivation. At a young age, he has reached the level of controlling Qi and has even realized the state of the primordial spirit."

"If we really want to fall out, it will do us no good!"

Say it.

Wei Shan frowned.

What Guan Hai said made sense, although he didn't quite believe it, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy could have reached the level of Yu Qi.

But Abbot Sanzang is a real powerful person in the realm of spirit refining!
Who would dare to provoke such a person?
After thinking for a while, Wei Shan came up with a plan. He said sinisterly:
"Since the Chen family cannot be touched, then Meili should give up on this idea!"

"Go and tell the maids who usually serve Meili to gossip about her in front of Meili, saying that the Chen family is now prosperous and Chen Xin doesn't like an ugly woman like her!"

"This way, Mary will be very sad, and we can pick up a lot of diamonds and pearls for free..."

"besides……"

As he spoke, he looked cunning and ordered:
"You go and steal the letters between Meili and Chen Xin. It would be best if you could hire an expert in forging calligraphy and paintings to write a breakup letter to Meili in Chen Xin's tone and handwriting. That way, when Meili sees Chen Xin's breakup letter, she won't bother him anymore."

Wei Shan has adopted Mei Li for almost twenty years.

I have already understood her personality and character.

From Mei Li's innocent mind, if Chen Xin really didn't want to date her and rejected her sternly, she would definitely give up!

In this case, Mary might be so stimulated that she would lose interest in all men in the world.

In this way, you will stay in Weijiabao forever.

Continue to be their "cash cow".

Hearing Wei Shan's plan, Guan Hai laughed wickedly:

"Little understands."

Another compartment.

In Weijiabao.

Mei Li, who was writing a letter to Chen Xin, probably never imagined that her respected and beloved adoptive father would plot against her in this way?
After writing the letter.

Meili gently gathered her jade hands, rolled up the letter, and then waved toward the window.

Soon, a carrier pigeon flew in, flapping its wings.

It fell on the desk, its little eyes rolling around, allowing Mary to tie the letter around its legs.

After tying the letter, Meili stroked the pigeon with her hands. Her eyes were filled with affection, and she thought to herself:

"I really hope Chen Lang will come to my house to propose marriage soon."

"Chen Lang's second brother is really capable. He was able to receive a reward from the current emperor and earn so much gold and silver to help his eldest brother get married."

"When I see him later, I must thank Xiaohu very much."

Meili has lived in Weijiabao for nearly twenty years and rarely goes out.

Most of the time, she stayed in her boudoir.

Occasionally, he would move around, but was confined to Weijiabao.

Since starting to date Chen Xin, Meili realized how colorful the outside world is.

For this reason, she had long been yearning for it.

Eager to go out and see.

However, her adoptive father kept a close eye on her, and she herself had a low self-esteem, so she didn't dare to go out for all these years.

Fortunately, with Chen Xin's guidance and encouragement, Meili gradually let go of her timidity.

As for the last time Chen Xiaohu brought back 7,000 gold worth of gold, silver and jewelry from Kaifeng Prefecture, Chen Xin also mentioned it in his letter a few days ago.

He even revealed the matter of the emperor's reward to the Chen family.

After reading this, Mary was very happy.

Although she was like a canary, hidden in Weijiabao, with a simple mind, she also knew the importance of marrying well.

So when Chen Xin proposed to her, Meili agreed.

If Chen Xin had proposed to her before the Chen family became rich.

She would certainly agree, but she would not let Chen Xin give the betrothal gift in such a hurry.

After all, the gap between Weijiabao and Chenjia is not small.

By then, her adoptive father might not agree to her marriage with Chen Xin.

At that time, she would have to do more ideological work on her adoptive father.

But now?

Mary believed that her adoptive father would be happy that she had found her ideal husband.

Coming back to her senses, Mary carefully picked up the pigeon, placed it by the window, and then watched it suddenly spread its wings and fly away.

……

The carrier pigeon had just flown not far from Weijiabao when it was suddenly knocked down by a stone shot out from the air.

The person who took action was Guan Hai!
This Guan Hai also has the cultivation level of Yu Qi Realm!

With his kung fu, he could definitely shoot down a carrier pigeon without hurting it at all.

Looking at the carrier pigeon falling from the sky, Guan Hai jumped up and grabbed it directly. No matter how the pigeon flapped its wings, Guan Hai still easily intercepted the letter.

After getting the letter, Guan Hai did not kill it, but took the pigeon away.

In his opinion, this carrier pigeon will be of great use in a few days!
After taking the letter, Guan Hai handed the letter to Wei Shan!

After reading the letter, Wei Shan was so angry that he slammed the table:

"Humph!"

"What an ungrateful bastard! She's so eager to become the Chen family's daughter-in-law, but I won't grant her wish!"

"Master, don't be angry. That ugly woman will be crying in a few days!" Guan Hai advised.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

During these three days, Chen Xin waited anxiously at home, but he still didn't receive any letter from Meili.

Now, he was a little panicked.

When the family members heard about this, they all comforted him:
"Brother, don't worry about Sister Meili. She must have been busy and didn't have time to reply to your letter."

The elegance of speaking.

The little sister of the family.

She is about eight or nine years old, cute and smart.

Father Chen also said: "Xin'er, Junxiu is right. Before, you were worried that your family didn't have money and you couldn't marry Meili. You were afraid that she would have to live a hard life with you. But now your family has money, you don't have to worry about these things anymore."

"Dad, I'm not worried about Meili, I'm worried about the Lord of Weiburg."

Chen Xin said.

"Why are you worried about him?" Chen's mother asked puzzled.

It wasn’t Lord Wei who married Chen Xin.

Chen Xin explained:
"I don't know why, but I always feel that this Lord Wei is weird."

"He seems to love Mary very much, but some of his actions are hurting her." After hearing what Chen Xin said, the Chen family looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Since everyone has never met Lord Wei, naturally they don’t know what kind of person he is?

"Dad, didn't you ask someone to pick a date before?"

"How soon will we go to Weijiabao to propose marriage?"

Father Chen thought for a moment and said, "It's the eighth day of the first lunar month."

"Counting the days, there are still six days left."

Hearing this, Chen Xin made a sudden decision and said in a deep voice:
"Then six days later, I will bring the betrothal gifts and go to Weijiabao to propose marriage."

Seeing Chen Xin's firm attitude, Chen's father didn't say much.

Chen's mother said:

"On the day of the proposal, do you want to call Xiaohu back home?"

Chen Xin shook his head and said:

"I don't think it's necessary. Xiaohu is very hard at practicing martial arts in Shaolin every day. There's no need to bother him to go home specially."

"Just call him when we get married."

Mother Chen no longer insisted, she nodded:

"That's it."

"I'll go to the city with you later to buy some more good things."

……

For three days, not only Chen Xin was waiting anxiously.

Mary was also getting impatient waiting.

Weijiabao is not far from Chenjiacun.

With the flying speed of carrier pigeons, it can be delivered in half a day at most.

But three days had passed and she still hadn't received a letter from Chen Xin.

I can't help but feel a little worried, wondering if something unexpected has happened?
In the room, when Meili was daydreaming, unexpectedly, many maids were discussing quietly outside the door:

"Do you still remember Chen Xin, the guy who often came to the fort to deliver wood?"

"Remember, remember. It's been spread outside that his family has received a lot of money and property from the emperor. Now, the matchmakers who come to his house to propose marriage are almost breaking down the door."

"Chen Xin is a handsome and well-educated man. His family is rich and prestigious. If I were not a maid, would I be willing to marry him?"

"Forget about you."

"I heard that the daughter of our county chief clerk is interested in marrying into the Chen family, and a matchmaker has already gone to propose marriage. In my opinion, this marriage is 80% likely to be successful!"

"..."

Outside the door, the maids seemed unaware that Mary was still in the room, and they discussed the matter without restraint.

Upon hearing this, Mary's face changed and her heart began to beat uncontrollably.

When she thought about the fact that Chen Xin hadn't written to her in three days, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

The next moment, she felt as if she was suffocating.

Suddenly I felt my hands and feet trembling, and my heart felt like it was torn apart and was in excruciating pain.

When she heard that the daughter of a chief clerk was willing to marry Chen Xin, she felt extremely sad and aggrieved.

Suddenly.

Meili thought of the oath Chen Xin had promised her, and she suddenly burst into tears and said loudly:
"No!"

"That's not the case. Chen Lang won't change his mind!"

pat!

I saw crystal tears dripping down her face, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into dazzling and bright diamonds.

In a short while, hundreds of them had piled up under her feet!

Faced with these diamonds and pearls, Mary turned a blind eye. She was indifferent and didn't even look at the diamonds on the ground.

Outside the door, the maids seemed to have heard the sobbing and crying in the room. They looked at each other and hurried away.

These maids left this place and went straight to find Guan Hai.

"How about it?"

Guan Hai looked at the beautiful maids in front of him and asked with narrowed eyes.

"Manager Guan, the young lady is crying. It looks like she believes those words."

Guan Hai nodded and said:

"very good!"

"You did a good job."

After saying this, he rewarded each of them with a string of copper coins.

"Thank you, Chief Guan!"

The maids took the string of copper coins with smiling faces and were extremely happy.

"Remember, when you have nothing to do, go to the young lady's room more often and comfort her."

Guan Hai gave a "kind" reminder.

……

Before I knew it, two more days had passed.

In the past two days, those maids have been gossiping all the time inside and outside the house, whether they have anything to do or not.

Even if Mary didn't want to listen, she couldn't.

As a result, she has been crying every day for the past few days and looks haggard.

My eyes are swollen from crying.

Some people are sad and some are happy.

These few days, Wei Shan picked up a large handful of diamonds and pearls out of nowhere, which made him extremely excited.

After all, this is all free money!
On this day, Wei Shan said to Guan Hai:
"Guan Hai, the time has come. It's time to deliver the letter to Meili."

"Okay, sir."

Guan Hai agreed readily.

So he released the pigeon and tied Chen Xin's "reply letter" to its foot.

Naturally, this letter was not written by Chen Xin himself, but was copied by Guan Hai through an expert.

The handwriting and calligraphy are almost exactly the same as what Chen Xin had written before!
Guan Hai believed that even Chen Xin would not be able to tell the truth from the false for a while.

What's more, Mary was already heartbroken.

as predicted.

When Mary saw the carrier pigeon flying towards the window, she rushed over immediately.

Untying her anklet, she couldn't wait to take down the letter.

But what she saw made her freeze in place, as if she had lost her soul!
At this moment, Meili collapsed to the ground, shedding tears and murmuring:

"How...how could this happen?"

"Why has Chen Lang become so heartless and fickle? Is it possible that he really doesn't like me?"

"Or, he has already fallen in love with someone else..."

Her helpless and pitiful look made people feel pity for her.

I don't know how long she knelt on the ground before Mary slowly stood up.

Listening to the birds singing outside the window, her memory suddenly went back to that evening.

“A silkworm may not stop spinning silk until it dies, and a candle may not stop shedding tears until it turns into ashes.”

This is the poem that Chen Xin often reads to Meili.

He once said that no matter what, he would be with her forever!
He doesn't care about his own beauty or ugliness, he just wants people with good hearts and good deeds.

Thinking of this, Mary didn't know where the courage came from. Her eyes suddenly became firm, as if she had made up her mind.

Meili plans to go to Chenjia Village to meet Chen Xin in person!
Regardless of whether Chen Xin has changed his mind or not, she must meet him!
You must ask clearly in person!
If they were to break up, he had said it himself, so Mary would naturally not pester him anymore.

Just as Mary packed her bags and prepared to go out.

Wei Shan's voice suddenly came from outside the house, and he asked with concern:

"Merry, what's wrong with you?"

"The maids said you were crying in there the whole time. What happened?"

Hearing that it was her adoptive father's voice, Mary did not hesitate.

She walked over and opened the door.

Looking at the diamonds all over the room, Wei Shan's eyes lit up.

But soon, he saw the package that Meili was about to pack on the bed. Wei Shan couldn't help but be surprised. He suddenly had a bad premonition.

But he still asked calmly:
"Merry, where are you going?"
