The peddlers' cries and passers-by' voices were heard all the time, but Biwu walked forward, ignoring them. Sometimes he brushed past passers-by and even bumped into several people without saying a word of apology.
However, Biwu's clothes were still out of place in this commoner area. Even those who could not tell the value could guess that Biwu's family was in good condition. The people who were hit complained at most, but they would not really get involved with Biwu.
Seeing that Biwu was about to run into this group of hooligans collecting protection fees, the crippled man quickly ran forward and grabbed Biwu's arm in spite of the strange eyes of the people nearby, whispering, "It's me."
Biwu paused for a moment and looked at the unfamiliar face and asked hesitantly, "Si..."
"It's me." Si Jingjie nodded and saw that biwu was a little happy to recognize him, but he still did not let go of the hand holding her arm and deliberately raised his voice, "My sister is dressed in such a lively manner now, but she has won the master's reward? Hurry and go home with your brother. Your nephew and sister-in-law are always talking about you. Just in time, we bought some food and some of your favorite dumplings."
Biwu did not know where to go either. He nodded in response to his acquaintance's hesitation. He did not expose the random nonsense that si Jing Jie had picked up, nor did he have time to think about why he was wearing a human skin mask and hiding in the marketplace.
It was also Biwu who was in a mess. Otherwise, he would have remembered going back to beijing with the Si Jingjie family, because Si Jingjie and his wife had made a contribution to becoming the wanted men of the mysterious forces. They had not returned to the Si Family until now, but had been in hiding.
Si Jingjie's house was not that remote either. They only walked two blocks and reached their house on the street near the residential house where they were doing business. Before Si Jingjie entered the house, he found a neighbor looking over here and shouted deliberately, "Daughter-in-law, come out and take a look. The sister has come home to see us."
Mingzhu's unquestionable joy was heard in the courtyard, and Si Jingjie had already pushed the courtyard to lead biwu in, closing the gate and isolating the neighbors who wanted to find out.
Leading Biwu to the hall to sit down, Si Jingjie sent some food to the children's room, then turned to Mingzhu and said, "Look at biwu. It looks like something big has happened. I can't ignore everyone knowing each other. You take the children to eat first, and I'll explain to you later."
"Bring these snacks over. I'll take care of the children." Mingzhu smiled understandably and gave Si Jingjie a plate of freshly packed pastries. He tidied up his shirt and said, "When I went out this morning, I heard the news that the general of the town was going to ask for an imperial edict to marry me. I'm afraid that miss Biwu's marriage would be a little rough. You should pay attention to your words later on, so as not to hurt the girl's heart."
"Okay, I got it." Si Jingjie nodded, shook Mingzhu's hand and left with the pastry.
If not for Mingzhu's reminder, Si Jingjie did not associate Biwu's condition with his marriage. However, he also heard about the imperial edict. After talking to Biwu last time, Si Jingjie was devoted to his wife and children, and now only wished him well.
Biwu, who was sitting in the hall, did not look at the furnishings in the room until Si Jingjie was seated.
Looking at Biwu's dazed expression and swollen eyes, Si Jingjie knew that she must be in a bad mood, but after a long time, he did not know how to express his concern. He was never good at coaxing women.
"These desserts are Hao Ran's favorite. They're not exquisite enough, but they taste good. Try them." After sitting for a while, Si Jingjie chose the safest topic and pushed the plate towards biwu.
Although she had no appetite, biwu still picked up a piece of food and ate it without knowing what to eat. After that, she picked up the teacup that Wu Yuqing handed over and drank half a cup of tea. Then she raised a bitter smile and said, "I made you laugh. I won't bring you any trouble here, will I?"
Biwu looked apologetically at Si Jingjie, then remembered that Si Jingjie was in a special situation. The family needed to constantly change their identity and environment to be safe and sound, but her appearance might arouse suspicion from others.
"Biwu, you and I have known each other for many years. Although you are not a close friend, you don't have to be polite. If you can find a place for me, just say it." Si Jingjie smiled, pondered and said.
"I..." Biwu's smile was even more bitter, but she opened her mouth and shook her head, "I'm just in a bad mood to come out for a walk. I don't know why I came here. When I get back, I'll explain to my brother-in-law what happened today. If I need him, he'll reschedule it for you."
There's a secret guard around here. If we really need our family to leave, someone will arrange it. Biwu doesn't have to worry about it. Besides, we've been living here for almost a year, and it's been long enough. Si Jingjie did not want biwu to feel guilty. After thinking for a while, he said, "Today, the whole capital is talking about whether the general of the town wants to propose or not. It's a great blessing to have a wholehearted companion. Unfortunately, it's not convenient for me to attend your wedding. I can only congratulate you in advance."
Biwu lowered his head when he heard the words. He could not help but feel bitter when he saw Si Jingjie arched his hand.
If she was still the Biwu of the past, then Wu Yuqing's promise on Golden Chime Hall would undoubtedly make her happy and worthy of envy and hatred.
But not only did she get dirty, she didn't even have the chance to have children for Wu Yuqing. How could she be worthy of Wu Yuqing's love?
Should Wu Yuqing lose the right to be a father for an unclean woman like her?
These words could not be said out loud.
In the past, he did not say that he was inferiority complex, but he did not dare to face other people's strange eyes. But not now because, whether she wanted to or not, she and Wu Yuqing already had a marriage contract. If people knew that wu yuqing's woman was filthy, it would hurt his general's prestige.
Biwu's mind was spinning, and the tears in the corner of his eyes appeared, and he would fall if he blinked.
Si Jingjie thought for a moment and said, "Biwu, I don't know why you're sad, but today should be a happy day. General Wu kept his promise and only took you as his wife. I'm afraid there aren't many men in this world who can do it. As a woman, getting married is a lifelong event. Don't do anything that you can't regret. No matter how many visitors you have, as long as the couple is united, they can get over it safely."
Biwu's nose was so sore that tears could not stop falling, but he did not ask Jing Jie for advice or tell him what he was worried about. He just sat there quietly and fell into his own thoughts.
Biwu did not know that after she rushed out of General's Mansion, she had alarmed several groups of people and horses. Now, there are many peddlers on the street nearby.
