Chapter 136: Do you not know that scaring people can scare them to death?

Shi Shi was unwilling; she really went to see a matchmaker, but when they inquired about Yun Tian's situation, no one was willing to marry him.

"It's fine, wait until you get better, we'll..."

Yun Tian said with a sorrowful face: "Mother, you probably forgot what the doctor said; they all say my chances of recovery are slim."

His words made Shi Shi burst into tears and wail.

"What is all this? How did it become like this? Heaven, why are you doing this to me? Why are you doing this to my son!"

"Yeah, why do this to me? What's the point of living like this."

Yun Tian said with a dejected expression.

Shi Shi's heart gave a jolt.

Her crying stopped abruptly: "Son, you can't give up; you're still young, you have hope of getting better. I, I'll go find your older brothers..."

It's not that she cared much about Yun Tian.

Rather, Yun Tian could earn her a decent amount each month.

Shi Shi said she'd go, but her eldest son basically had no money; he gave her three hundred wen—what could you do with that? A few doses of medicine would be gone!

Worried that her son would come to harm if he continued like this.

Shi Shi finally agreed to Yun Tian marrying Cheng Xianglan, and even took him to her family to propose.

A few days later, an auspicious day arrived.

Their wedding day was set for that day.

Shi Shi didn't want a big wedding, Cheng Xianglan didn't either, Yun Tian couldn't oppose them, so in the end they only invited the yamen officials to eat at home; as for Qiao Sheng and the others, Yun Tian had invited them in advance.

Qiao Sheng didn't come today; she only sent a gift.

However, Cheng Xianglan thought she was busy and didn't think much of it.

Until.

That night, as they lay down to sleep, Cheng Xianglan and Yun Tian talked, and only then did she learn what was going on.

"You liar!"

Cheng Xianglan's hand swung toward Yun Tian's chest.

Pretending to be hurt when he wasn't, making her heartbroken and tearful—too much!

Yun Tian took her hand and said: "Wife, I also had no choice; if it weren't for marrying you, I wouldn't have done this."

Figuring out what was going on.

The next day, Cheng Xianglan and Yun Tian invited Qiao Sheng to a meal again, this time only her.

"Sister Xianglan, Brother Yun Tian, congratulations on lovers finally becoming a couple."

Qiao Sheng raised the cup in her hand and said.

Cheng Xianglan offered tea instead of wine to her: "Qiao Sheng, thank you, thank you for helping us so much."

"Exactly."

Yun Tian also lifted his own cup.

After dinner, Qiao Sheng chatted with them a bit before leaving the restaurant.

It's already the end of October.

Walking down the empty street at night, it was still a bit chilly, and the wind made it colder.

Qiao Sheng saw many stalls closed, she quickened her pace toward her rented place; after walking who knows how long, a figure descended from the sky, startling her.

She looked and saw it was Shi Lin.

Qiao Sheng glared at him angrily: "Do you not know that scaring people can scare them to death?"

"When did your courage get so small?"

Shi Lin replied to her.

Qiao Sheng ignored Shi Lin and walked on.

Shi Lin followed behind; his legs were longer than Qiao Sheng's, and it wasn't long before he overtook her.

He walked and said: "Walking around at night, you say you're timid, yet you're not afraid of being assaulted? Have you been drinking? Who did you drink with first?"

The part about being startled by the figure descending from the sky, I won't mention.

Besides, he kept asking about this and that.

Qiao Sheng stared at Shi Lin and said: "Do people try to assault someone like me? Others should worry that I'd assault them! As for whether I've been drinking and with whom, what does that have to do with you?"
