Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 236 5 Watching the Lanterns (Part )

Liu Feiyun and Su Xin walked aimlessly. Although their eyes were full of various lanterns, neither of them seriously admired them.

Feeling that he was far away from his mother, Su Xin could no longer bear it and asked in a low voice: "You know everything!"

Liu Feiyun nodded, "I just found out not long ago too! You two are the people closest to me, but you kept it a secret from me and it made me so miserable! Fortunately, your family is not the enemy of my Liu family! Thank goodness!"

"So what if we're not enemies! We still can't be together! Go back and tell your sister! Tell her that I, Su Xin... am an ungrateful and ungrateful wolf! I'm not worthy of Liu Qianqian! Please ask her... to find another ideal husband!"

"Ungrateful bastard!? Find another one!? Su Xin, oh Su Xin! My sister has been waiting for you for nearly seven years! And you treat her like this! Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? How many seven years can a woman have in her prime years? You bastard! You studied virtuous books for more than twenty years, but you actually did such a shameless thing!"

"I...she...ah! Anyway! It's impossible for us! You should let her...I have my own reasons!"

"What's the reason? Is there really a blood feud between our two families? That's not what my sister said!"

"Blood feud, how is that possible! Although your father is called Liu the Butcher, he has many enemies! But most of them are people from the Northern Wilderness tribes who are related to the Ning Wang Rebellion! The enemies of our Su family are far away in Jiangnan and have nothing to do with your Liu family! It's just! ... It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that your identities! As the slave owners of the Liu family, it's impossible for my mother to agree to this marriage!"

"Slave owner? There are so many people in the world who buy and sell slaves! Not to mention the nobles like our Liu family, even the country tycoons and even the wealthy families with a little money would buy a few slaves! Your mother wants you to marry a woman whose family does not have slaves, so you can only choose from the common people!"

"That can't be helped!"

"Then what do you think! If you want to obey your mother! Then why don't you get married early! So that my sister will give up!"

"This... is hard to explain in a few words!... Although my Su family has been almost destroyed, with only my mother and I left! But we were a family of scholars in the past, and our ancestors had served as officials for generations! Let me marry an illiterate girl from an ordinary family, not to mention me! Even my mother doesn't want to! Besides, your sister has been very kind to me. If it weren't for her! My mother would have been dead long ago! I know she loves me deeply! I, Su Xin, am not without feelings for her! But..."

"But what?"

"But my elder sister! My younger sister! My younger brother! They all died at the hands of slave traders and slave owners! My mother hates anything and everyone related to slaves! She will never allow me to marry the daughter of a big slave owner like your Liu family! And your sister... your sister... once said something cruel... If I dare to marry someone else, I must marry her too! Otherwise... otherwise she will... she will shave her head and cut off all ties! She will never marry again!"

"Huh!? My sister...wouldn't...wouldn't...say that!"

"The words may not be exactly the same, but the meaning is similar! Tell me! How could I let her miss her life event just for me!"

"This... this... this is why you keep dragging it out! But dragging it out is not a good idea! Didn't you try to find out what your mother has to say? Although our Liu family also owns and uses slaves, we don't treat them as non-human beings! Oh, right! Does your mother know about your situation?"

"Of course not! A few years ago, I said that not all slave owners in the world are bad people. There must be one or two good people! As a result, my mother beat me up, and she was so angry that her old illness relapsed. She was paralyzed in bed for more than ten days and almost died! As for your sister's matter! How dare I let her know! Fortunately, my mother rarely goes out on weekdays, and even few people in the academy know about the matter between your sister and me! Your sister didn't show up when she helped me save her several times, so I kept it a secret from her!"

"I see! So what do you do now? Are you planning to just find someone to marry and make my sister give up completely? Don't you care if she will be alone for the rest of her life?"

"I... I... My mother is getting older! Her health is getting worse! I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for a few more years! Her biggest wish now is to see her grandchildren before she dies! My mother has suffered a lot for me! I can't go against her wishes! As for your sister... There are plenty of good men in the world! You can persuade her, let her... let her... let her..."

"What can I do to her? Is it that easy for her to wait for you these years? If she wasn't...if she wasn't...why would she wait for you? With her conditions! With the family background of my Liu family! Is it difficult to find a man who is thousands of times stronger than you? Have you never truly loved her? Don't you really want to marry her?"

"I...I...I...what can I do? Do you want me to wait until my mother dies before marrying her and making her my mistress, or even divorce her and marry again? Not to mention that you won't agree, your parents won't agree! Even I would feel extremely ashamed! A short pain is worse than a long one! Maybe! After a long time! She will forget me! Junior brother! Please stop forcing me! Okay! Okay!"

Su Xin looked at the pairs of affectionate young men and women passing by him on the street, his heart filled with bitterness and his eyes filled with jealousy and envy!

"Alas! They say that it is difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs! I say! It is even more difficult for an honest official to judge love affairs! But now that I am here! I know! I will never allow this situation to continue! I don't care if you, Su Xin, are in a dilemma! But my sister will never waste time like this for you! How about this! One year!"

"One year!?"

"Yes! Just one year! I will give you another year! In this year, I will do everything I can to make your mother accept my sister! Accept our Liu family! Do my best to promote your good things! But you have to cooperate with me fully! If it still doesn't work! Then it can only be said to be God's will! When your love turns into hate, don't blame me for dealing with you! I will never let you have it easy! If this succeeds! You change your mind again! Hurt my sister's heart! I can't say! I will make your whole family die a miserable death! Although I am usually very reasonable and value friendship! But don't forget! My reputation as a little butcher is not gained out of thin air!"

"You...you...how could you..." Su Xin didn't know what to say for a moment!

"Okay, okay! Senior Brother Su! My potential future brother-in-law! When you and I really become a family, you will find that having a little butcher like me as a brother-in-law is not a bad thing! Hahahaha! Let's go! It's almost dark! Let's go back quickly! But don't let my aunt and the others wait anxiously! Well! I hope my sister didn't say anything she shouldn't have said! Otherwise..." Liu Feiyun smiled, pointing at the lanterns that seemed brighter and brighter as the sky got darker.

"Oh! No! My mother...your sister...let's go back quickly!"

Su Xin woke up as if from a dream when he heard this and shouted anxiously.
