Also present were Chen Xizhen and his daughter Chen Liqing.
For Liu Guang,
I was worried about my daughter's safety.
He only wanted to find his daughter.
Now Liu Huiniang has returned.
But a knot remained in his heart.
That is, where has my daughter been for the past two months?
Liu Guang was a rough and unrefined man.
They can't hide their feelings from their family members.
So he directly asked the question that had been bothering him.
"Actually, the group of people who rescued me after I fell into the water weren't bad people,"
Liu Huiniang said cautiously,
“After they reached Taoyuan Town upstream, they even took me back to Chuzhou to find you.”
"It was already late when we learned from the townspeople that you had already left by boat because of the government's pursuit."
"What? You went back to Chuzhou Wharf?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Guang
He slapped his head in annoyance.
307 “If I had known this would happen, I would have risked dealing with those officials rather than taking your mother and the others with me first.”
“Ah Xiu, this isn’t your father’s fault,”
Lady Liu Guang helped explain.
“Your father thought you had been hijacked by that passenger ship, which is why he took us aboard to chase after you.”
"Who knew that the government's official boat would also follow closely behind and catch up,"
"In the chaos, we took the wrong turn on the waterway, and then we couldn't find the ship that took you away."
"Mother, of course I know it's not Father's fault,"
Liu Huiniang leaned against her mother and said coquettishly,
“My father and mother love me the most, so why would they deliberately abandon me?”
"What happens after that?"
Liu Huiniang's brother, Liu Qi, inquired,
"Little sister, what brings you to your uncle's house in Tokyo again?"
"After arriving in Yuncheng County, I was temporarily taken in by the owner of that (bica) passenger ship,"
As Liu Huiniang spoke, she cautiously glanced at Chen Xizhen beside her.
Although we were almost at Jingyang Town
Because Liu Huiniang had to plead.
Chen Xizhen had already agreed.
They will not reveal the matter between Liu Huiniang and Liangshan.
Liu Huiniang was aware of her father's blind loyalty.
If my father finds out...
She was not only rescued by Liangshan,
He even became one of the leaders on the mountain.
I'm afraid that Liu Guang, the father who was wholeheartedly devoted to serving the court,
I'd be furious on the spot.
As for Chen Xizhen...
However, her considerations differed from Liu Huiniang's.
This old Taoist priest, who was devoted to the Tao,
Although she raised her only daughter to be a tomboy.
But deep down,
Obviously, he still felt that
When a woman reaches a certain age,
It's time to find someone to marry.
Staying at home to be a good wife and mother is the right path.
Liu Huiniang was his niece.
Chen Xizhen was deeply afraid of the conflict between Liu Huiniang and Liangshan.
Especially after the relationship with that Liangshan chieftain was leaked,
It will affect her marriage.
Naturally, they were willing to help Liu Huiniang keep it a secret.
Seeing that this uncle just had a stern face,
He did not openly admit to his lie.
Only then did Liu Huiniang boldly continue making up her story.
"After that, I had nowhere else to go, so the passenger ship took me to Yuncheng, which is next to Liangshan Marsh."
"The owner of the passenger ship is surnamed Zhao, Brother Zhao... no, Master Zhao. He is a good man and has taken me in temporarily."
"I stayed in Yuncheng for a while, and then the Zhao family was going to Bianliang to do business,"
"I thought that my parents should have arrived in Tokyo by now, so I begged Master Zhao... Master Zhao took me with him."
"After that, I found my uncle and cousin Liqing in Bianliang City."
"So that's how it is. It seems I really misunderstood those people at the Chuzhou dock that day,"
Liu Guang stroked his beard and nodded.
He has a rough personality.
I don't think my daughter would lie about something like this.
On the contrary, it was Liu Guang's wife, who was more thoughtful and perceptive,
When the daughter mentioned that "Master Zhao,"
His expression was clearly off.
She hesitated for a moment.
He then asked Chen Xizhen with a smile,
“Brother-in-law, we only met that Master Zhao once, but we never expected that it would be thanks to him that Ah Xiu was taken in.”
"I wonder if my brother-in-law thanked this person on our behalf when he met him?"
Thank you, that Liangshan chieftain?
He almost kidnapped both of your daughters!
Chen Xizhen muttered something to himself.
On the surface, one can only give a perfunctory answer.
"Don't worry, I've already thanked that person on your behalf."
"That man saved Ah Xiu; for the Liu family, this is an immense favor."
Liu Guang laughed heartily.
"After some time, I will take my eldest and second eldest sons to Yuncheng to thank him in person."
Liu Huiniang's mother gave her husband a speechless look.
She asked Chen Xizhen a question,
My original intention was to inquire about the situation of that wealthy man, Zhao.
Now Liu Huiniang has been rejected by the Yun family.
Being a mother is...
Naturally, he was anxious about his daughter's marriage...
Chapter 435 Annulling the engagement is a good thing!
Anyway, everyone around me is family now.
Lady Liu Guang then stated her meaning directly.
And the first one mentioned,
This naturally refers to the Yun family's decision to break off the engagement.
"What? The Yun family has called off the engagement?"
Chen Xizhen immediately frowned.
"What's the reason? Aren't you and Yun Tianbiao close friends? How could the Yun family treat Ah Xiu like this?"
"Well, brother-in-law, Ah Xiu was missing for over two months,"
Lady Liu Guang said helplessly,
"The Yun family is considered an official family in Jingyang Town, so naturally they wouldn't want Yunlong to marry..."
What follows,
Liu Guang's wife did not say it.
But the people around them weren't fools either.
He immediately understood what she meant.
"What Yunlong! In my opinion, he's just a piece of trash, compared to Zhao..."
In her anger, Chen Liqing
I almost let it slip.
Fortunately, Liu Huiniang, who was nearby, quickly reached out and pulled her away.
This prompted Chen Liqing to quickly change her tune.
"Tomorrow, I'll find an excuse to beat that kid up!"
"Don't cause trouble!"
Chen Xizhen gave her daughter a piece of advice.
Lady Liu Guang, standing to the side
However, she keenly noticed the subtle interactions between Liu Huiniang and her cousin Chen Liqing.
He had high hopes for that wealthy man surnamed Zhao.
Naturally, this only fueled their growing suspicion.
"Fine, then let's just cancel."
Liu Guang said with a somewhat helpless expression,
"Anyway, it's good that Ah Xiu is back."
"That Yunlong is a bastard,"
Liu Lin also said indignantly,
