Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 108: Tyranny

Jiang Li had never seen such a Xue residence.

When Xue Huai Yuan was the deputy county, his official's salary wasn't much. He was unlike the several deputy county predecessors before him, wanting his official residence to be renovated and became taller and bigger. He was just like an ordinary person. This three entry courtyard was obtained because the previous owner was in a hurry to sell as he was going to travel far away and gave Xue Huai Yuan a cheap price.

Though the courtyard was shabby, it was arranged cleanly and neatly, and it's home. Xue Zhao and Xue Fang Fei had stayed in this courtyard since they were ignorant, innocent children until they grew up to become a young man and a young lady.

In her memory, the Xue family's residence always had smoke coming from the kitchen, full of vitality. The worthless plants and flowers grown at the door also beautify the house.

However, the present Xue family in front of her, the door was in ruins, the official seal looked particularly dazzling, there's even dust on top of the seal. It could be seen that nobody had come to this place for a very long time.

A good home, said to break up and it scattered.

Ye Ming Yu saw tears suddenly fell on Jiang Li's face and turned pale in fright. He asked, "Ah Li, what's wrong?"

Jiang Li snapped out of her memory, laughed and said, "There's too much dust here, the eyes are blinded by it." She took a handkerchief out and wiped the side of her eyes and said, "Just wipe it and it'll be fine."

Ye Ming Yu did not doubt her. As he saw it, this was the first time Jiang Li came to Tongxiang, so it's not possible for this unfamiliar house to make Jiang Li shed tears. He said, "Whose house is this? Why is it sealed by the government?"

"Xue family's." Jiang Li said.

Ye Ming Yu was surprised, "How do you know?"

Jiang Li pointed at the seal, "It's written here. It seems that it's that county deputy who served the people with heart and soul, the person that Uncle Ming Yu mentioned just now."

Tong'er and Bai Xue were puzzled, Ye Ming Yu was startled and unable to say a word. After a long time he spoke, "Which county deputy? How could county deputy Xie's house be sealed? It must be a mistake, right? This..... Did something happen?" He had not even been in Xiangyang for many years, let alone Tongxiang. Besides, Xue Huai Yuan's matter was not spread very far. Even Qiong Zhi had to inquire before learning about it. It's even more impossible for Ye Ming Yu to know.

Jiang Li smiled, her tone was a bit cold, "The weather is unpredictable, people could both be blessed or have a disaster. Don't know what kind of thing county deputy Xie ran into, even his house was raided."

Ye Ming Yu felt that Jiang Li's words were a bit strange, yet he couldn't point out where the strangeness was. The few people were silent when they heard a creak not too far away. From the small house adjacent to the Xue family's house, a person was pushing the door to walk out.

The person who came out was a woman whose head was covered by a flower scarf. Her skin was slightly dark, she was wearing a blue skirt, and a basket was hanging on her shoulder. She probably also did not expect to suddenly encounter a group of unfamiliar people standing in front of the sealed Xue family's house. She at once did not dare to move forward, merely standing still at her place and looking at the outstanding people in bewilderment.

Ye Ming Yu was helpless, "Yes, this is taking us as bad people?"

When Jiang Li saw this woman, a familiar feeling rose in her heart.
