Chapter 307 Ashura Meets Sister-in-law
Asura's mood at this moment can be described as furious!
How could this handsome and elegant young man be mistaken by this little maid as a rapist and robber?
Fortunately, I finally found out that his former sister-in-law Xu Ying'er had a big fight with her family because of her eldest brother Anaga, and she even cut off her hair and threatened to commit suicide!
Prime Minister Xu had no way to deal with his only daughter, and was therefore under overt and covert pressure from the Blackwater Family and the royal family!
In anger, he wanted to sever the father-daughter relationship with Xu Ying'er, but he also did not agree to Xu Ying'er leaving the house!
So the stubborn Xu Ying'er moved out of her own house and found a low rockery cave in the rockery in the backyard garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She built a thatched hut at the door and lived in it, and lived there for four years!
During that period, she was the only one who went to deliver some light meals and books every day. Apart from that, Xu Ying'er would not see outsiders unless her parents agreed to her marriage with the eldest son of the A family!
After hearing this, Ashura remained silent for a long time. His elder brother Anaga, who was hiding at the door and eavesdropping, was already in tears!
Asura calmed down and decided to meet his sister-in-law whom he had never met before!
So he asked the disheveled little maid where her young lady was. He was the third young master of the A family and asked her to come and meet Xu Ying'er!
When the little maid heard that it was the A family, she quickly pointed out the direction, hoping that Ashura could persuade her young lady to leave that damn place!
Asura nodded, then pulled his eldest brother, who was at a loss at the door, and ran to the rockery in the back garden!
When they arrived at the deserted back garden, the two brothers spotted the low, simple thatched hut in the rockery from afar!
Asura wanted to pull his eldest brother Anaga over, but Anaga hesitated and refused to step forward. He looked nervous and pleading at his third brother!
The elegance and composure that he had never lost even when he was paralyzed in a wheelchair completely disappeared, and the hand holding Ashura was shaking slightly!
Asura saw that he was in such a state, how could he go to meet his old lover, so he sighed and said, "Brother, didn't you hear everything? That little maid said Xu Ying'er still has you in her heart. She has suffered a lot for you over the years. What are you still worried about?"
But Anaga just stammered and couldn't say anything for a long time.
Seeing this, Ashura could only comfort him and said, "Then I will go and check on the situation for you first. If it is really as the little maid said, it will not be too late for you to show up later!"
Without waiting for his elder brother Anaga to answer, Ashura broke free from his elder brother's trembling hand and came to the door of the straw hut with a few jumps!
I don’t know if this back garden is inherently deserted or if the Prime Minister’s Mansion has deliberately arranged for no one to enter, but there doesn’t seem to be any pedestrians around!
Asura didn't need to sense anything to hear the rustling sound of someone turning pages in the straw hut. Asura looked into the cave through the gap in the door!
The cave is not very big, but the sunlight outside cannot shine into the cave, and the visibility inside is dim!
There was only an oil lamp lit in the cave, illuminating the small space. The furnishings in the cave were as simple as they could be, with basically no daily necessities. There was only a small wooden bed and bedding in the corner.
A woman's figure was standing with her back to the cave entrance, seemingly flipping through a book. The dim candlelight made her figure seem unreal!
Asura had never seen Xu Ying'er before, but he thought she must be good. He turned around and looked at his eldest brother Anaga who was still peeking at this place from a distance. Asura couldn't help but curl his lips!
Then he smiled what he thought was a kind smile, and then gently knocked on the simple wooden door at the door's entrance. His head was sticking out of the door, so it seemed more appropriate to call it a wooden door!
The figure didn't turn around, only a cold female voice rang out: "Xiao Huan, put the book by the bed!"
Asura knew that she was calling the little maid's name, and he couldn't help but scratched his head and coughed lightly!
The man's light cough startled the woman in the cave. She shouted in panic, "Who is it?" Then she grabbed a pair of scissors and put them to her throat, turning her head to look at the cave entrance in horror!
As soon as Asura saw her grabbing the scissors, he knew he had been rude, so he opened the wooden door and wanted to rush into the house to avoid any misunderstanding!
But the moment the woman turned her head, Asura froze in place, his eyes wide open in surprise!
The woman who turned around was not much older than him, and her old dress seemed to have not been changed for a long time!
Beneath the messy hair that seemed to have been deliberately cut short with scissors, was a pretty face that was thin and pale with fear!
There were multiple scars on the neck, which were obviously caused by having scissors pressed against the throat multiple times!
When the woman saw Ashura opened the wooden door but stood there in a daze, she couldn't help but increase the strength of the scissors in her hand!
Ashura quickly took a step back and shouted, "Don't be impulsive, I'm not a bad person, I'm Ashura, do you know me? I'm Anaga's younger brother, Ashura!"
The woman who was holding the scissors and harming herself shuddered when she heard Anaga's name. She seemed not to have heard what Ashura said clearly and asked anxiously, "What did you say? Say it again?"
Ashura was afraid of irritating her, so he prepared to dodge and shouted again, "Xu Ying'er, don't be impulsive. I am Asura, the third brother of Anaga!"
Hearing Ashura's words of confirmation again, the woman slowly moved the scissors an inch away from her throat and looked at the tall young man in front of her who looked somewhat like Anaga!
With a trembling voice, he slowly asked: "Is he...your elder brother okay? His legs...wuwu~~~"
Xu Ying'er was already crying uncontrollably. Asura couldn't help but feel sad when he saw Xu Ying'er, the daughter of the former prime minister, who had become such a horrible state for his elder brother!
Trying hard to suppress his slightly trembling voice, he asked, "Xu Ying'er, I came here to ask you a question!"
"If my elder brother Anaga continues to be disabled like this, are you, Xu Ying'er, still willing to marry him?"
Xu Ying'er smiled sadly after hearing this and said, "Back then, I took my maid Xiaohuan to a merchant's shop to buy wedding jewelry, but I didn't expect that Sang Kun, the young master of the Blackwater Family, would take a fancy to us!"
"He teased me in every possible way, and I would rather die than give in and hid back home. I never thought that when he found out about my marriage to your eldest brother, he would beat your eldest brother to a pulp and even kill your family!"
"When I heard the news at home, I felt like the sky was falling. I wanted to go out and check on your eldest brother's injuries!"
"But my father, under pressure from all sides, won't let me leave the house, and he's trying to persuade me to marry that Sang Kun!"
"I would rather die than obey. I threatened death, cut off my hair and pretended to be crazy. Only then did I give up the idea of my father forcing me to marry that Sang Kun!"
"But this also angered my father, the Prime Minister. He returned the betrothal gift from your family and threatened to sever our father-daughter relationship!"
"I was determined to die at that time. I just wanted to see your eldest brother and then commit suicide in front of your house to apologize!"
"But my father, the Prime Minister, has forbidden me from leaving the palace. As a weak woman, I have no way to deal with this, so I can only live out the rest of my life in this cave in the back garden!"
After hearing this, Ashura was overwhelmed with emotions, but he suppressed them and asked, "Answer my question. If my eldest brother is still willing to marry you, will you marry him or not?"
After hearing this, Xu Ying'er said softly, as if speaking only to herself, "If anything happens to Anaga, I, Xu Ying'er, will definitely not live alone! In my current state, how can I have the face to be his wife?"
In fact, without her answering, Ashura already knew the answer he wanted. He glanced at the wooden table in Xu Ying'er's cave and saw that it was filled with various medical books, mainly on the treatment of external injuries and broken bones...
Ashura, who has always been cynical, carefully tidied up his robe that was still stained with blood!
He slowly bowed to the woman opposite him, who looked extremely disheveled in both her clothes and appearance, and said, "Asura, the third son of the A family of Aolai Country, greets my sister-in-law!"
