The Exiled Life of the Noble Girl-Chapter 100: Deliberation
Chapter 100
Letting Wang Chunhua accompany Yun Sister to sleep, Li Mingwei went downstairs to the front desk to renew the room for two more days, spent money to buy paper and wrote a letter, and asked the buddy to find someone to send it to Qingshan Village.
Qing Yang came faster than she had imagined. He hired a car and appeared at the inn gate shortly after noon on the third day. He didn't sit in a wheelchair today, but leaned on crutches. Li Mingwei asked the buddy to help him into the room.
Qing Yang glanced at the empty room and still went in. Li Mingwei was just a woman and certainly wouldn't do anything to him.
He found a stool to sit on and said directly, "Where is Yun Niang? Didn't you say she was sick?"
Li Mingwei sat down opposite him and nodded. "She is sick, lovesick."
"Lovesick?" Qing Yang frowned slightly, stared at Li Mingwei's eyes, and hooked the corners of his mouth. "Are you trying to say that I made her sick?"
"No, it's your parents." Li Mingwei stood up and looked down at him. She was about to say something, but her gaze fell on his crutch. She realized that she was as worried about him as Yun Sister was.
"My parents?"
Qing Yang's eyebrows wrinkled tightly. His parents had always treated her extremely well. How could they suddenly make her sick? He pondered for a moment, but he remembered that his mother had taken her to see a doctor last month. But they said she was fine when they came back.
After a long pause without figuring out why, he had to look up at Li Mingwei, "Did you ask me to come here just to talk in riddles? If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Li Mingwei was going to tell him directly. Seeing his attitude, if he chose to stand with his parents and wanted Yun Sister to do that, she would let Yun Sister leave him and find another woman to borrow seed to have children.
If he stood with Yun Sister, she would go back and discuss with his parents to see if they should simply not want children in the future, or adopt a child, and then pick up Yun Sister to go back. 𝓯𝓇𝘦𝘦𝑤ℯ𝓫𝑛𝓸𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓶
But now, Li Mingwei walked to the window and looked down. It was the second floor. Jumping down probably wouldn’t kill her. She took a deep breath and plucked up the courage. As she passed Qing Yang, she said, "Wait here."
She knocked on the door of the next room, and Wang Chunhua let her in. "Where did you go?"
"I..." She went to Yun Sister's side and took her hand apologetically. "I saw that you were a little reluctant to part with Qing Yang, but also felt that this matter of yours couldn't be delayed, so I took the liberty to call him here. He's next door now."
Yun Sister was shocked and gripped her hand tighter. "You didn't tell him, did you?"
"No." She chickened out a little.
Li Mingwei told Yun Sister the two solutions she had come up with and let her make a choice herself. Yun Sister hesitated for a long time.
"Or do you really want to run away? I see you've been staying here these two days and don't seem to want to leave at all." She was going to leave at once when she made the decision. She immediately started planning. But Yun Sister was dragging her feet here. She could even sleep with them these two nights. At a glance, she was a little fake.
Yun Sister was exposed. She was a little embarrassed. She wanted to get away from Wan Family and not be restricted by her parents-in-law. She did think about going that far away. Qing Yang was still at home.
"Oh! What should I do now? If I tell him..."
"Then you just leave like that. He doesn't know why. He may think you despise him for being lame too and run away. Maybe he won't be able to bear it either." The possibility occurred to her and Yun Sister covered her mouth. Then she would be even more guilty.
"So, it's the same. What's bound to happen can't be avoided."
Li Mingwei took out a piece of candy from her arms and put it in her palm. "Go on. If you want to say something, then say it. If you don't want to say it, you can say goodbye. Otherwise, you will never be able to leave."
"Don't worry. We are here. Call us if anything happens."
Yun Sister gripped the candy tightly in her palm, took a deep breath, met Li Mingwei's encouraging gaze, got up and walked out.
Wang Chunhua, who had been silent all this time, went to the door and couldn't help but eavesdrop on the voices next door. She sighed. "Just let her go over by herself? What if she gets caught and dragged back forcibly?"
"You didn't say anything just now. She's already gone in." Li Mingwei rolled her eyes. How come her sister was still nagging?
"I thought you made perfect sense just now. After all, this Qing Yang is her husband. They must discuss anything that comes up. So I didn't say anything." But when she saw Yun Sister's small, thin back as she walked out, she was afraid that if the two didn't agree, although Qing Yang's legs were lame, his hands were fine. Yun Sister definitely couldn't beat him if he got violent.
She couldn't let Yun Sister suffer a loss.
Li Mingwei saw that she was already plastered to their door. She had a bad headache and quickly pulled her back. Listening was fine, but don't be so blatant. This was an inn. There were still people walking around outside.
Wang Chunhua had no choice but to go back into the room and listen by the wall.
Li Mingwei sat in the place closest to the door with her arms folded, watching her gecko sister. If there was any sign of trouble, she was also ready to rush out.
Time slowly passed. Wang Chunhua, who had listened till numbness, finally couldn't stand it. She looked back and asked, "How long has it been?"
"Half an hour."
"That long?" Wang Chunhua twisted her neck, shook her arms and legs to get rid of the numb feeling in her body, and sat down beside Li Mingwei suspiciously. "Could they have fallen asleep?"
Li Mingwei spread her little hand. "How would I know? I don't have X-ray vision."
But it really had been a long time. She opened the door and went to the door of the next room to listen like Wang Chunhua had. There was no movement at all. "Shall we knock?"
Wang Chunhua directly reached out and knocked, then quickly hid back into the next room.
Li Mingwei was stunned. She couldn't believe that her sister, who loved and cherished her, had just done that. She was about to run back when the door opened.
She could only awkwardly meet Yun Sister's red-rimmed eyes and stutter, "I, I just wanted to see if you needed anything."
Yun Sister shook her head, glanced back at Qing Yang, closed the door, and pulled Li Mingwei back to their room.
Wang Chunhua immediately came up to them. "What did he say?"
Li Mingwei pushed her away angrily. "Sis, what were you doing just now, leaving me behind to run by yourself?"
"Oh!" Wang Chunhua said embarrassedly, "Sis just went with the flow. Let's not talk about this first. Let's first ask Yun Sister what her husband said."
Yun Sister lowered her head, but there was some smile on her face. "He said he would go back and discuss with his parents early tomorrow morning, then come back to pick me up and let me hang out with you for a few days first."
Li Mingwei pouted.
Wang Chunhua slapped her. "What, are you still not satisfied? It was your idea."
"A little. A question just occurred to me."
Previously she had only thought about how reluctant Yun Sister was to part from Qing Yang and forgot about her parents-in-law.
"Yun Sister, how will you get along with your parents-in-law when you go back, after all, they..."
Yun Sister smiled. "Don't worry about this. He already has resentment in his heart. I have even more."
"When he goes back, he will look for a house. We will move out to live alone then. It's just that his parents are getting old and he's the only child. His legs are inconvenient too. In case anything happens, so we won't move too far. But I think it's good enough. At least we don't have to live under the same roof with them."
Looking at her smiling face, Li Mingwei shut her mouth and swallowed all the words back.
