Chapter 142: Why Did You Break Off The Engagement?

Xu Xue pointed at the gap between stones. There's a big crab inside, but it's too deep. I don't think I can get it.

Xu Xue looked at the gap that she had dug and was still a little unwilling to give up. Miss Liu, are you free? Come over to my house later. I have something on now, so I'll leave first.

Liu Sanniang nodded. Yes.

Xu Xue carried the wooden bucket and walked elsewhere.

Liu Sanniang couldn't help but look at the gap. It was deep. No wonder Xu Xue wanted to give up.

However, in the next second, Liu Sanniang saw some movement. She was stunned for a moment before a big crab crawled out.

She was struck dumb.

Liu Sanniang looked at Xu Xue's back and didn't know what to say. The crab wasn't small and looked like it weighed more than one catty. No wonder Xu Xue wanted to dig this hole. Xu Xue couldn't get it, but now, it had crawled out by itself.

Chu Yan said in a low voice, Don't you want it?

With him around, these little things would come out obediently at his order.

Liu Sanniang shouted at Xu Xue. Miss Xu, your crab is out.

Xu Xue did not hear what Liu Sanniang said clearly. She walked back and looked at the crab that had already crawled out. She could not believe her eyes.

Liu Sanniang said, Miss Xu, go ahead. It took you so long just now. This is yours.

Xu Xue was a little embarrassed. Miss Liu, you're really lucky. The crab even crawled out on its own, but I can't take it.

Liu Sanniang smiled. I have a lot already.

Xu Xue looked at the harvest of Liu Sanniang's wooden bucket and was hesitating. She said, Miss Liu, how about this? I'll take this crab and we can go to my house together. I'll cook it for you for free. If you don't cook it well, it'll taste bad. You're not from here, so you shouldn't know the way to cook it. If you agree, I'll take it. If you don't, I won't.

Liu Sanniang nodded. Okay.

She had never cooked seafood before. No matter how good she was at cooking, she would not know how to do it.

Xu Xue caught the crab and smiled. It weighs around two catties.

Miss Liu, let's go back now. It is the best time to watch the sea after lunch.

Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan. When Chu Yan nodded, Liu Sanniang said, Then, let's go.

Xu Xue walked in front with a wooden bucket. Miss Liu, follow me.

When they reached the shore, Xu Xue walked ahead. She told Liu Sanniang about the fishing village. She liked to smile. Xu Xue was a unique girl. She was not very beautiful, but her temperament made people like her.

She had freckles on her face and looked very cute.

When they arrived at the Xu family, Liu Sanniang realized that this was the family where Chu Yan had tied the horse.

As soon as they arrived at the door, a man came out of the courtyard. When Xu Xue saw him, her smile disappeared and her voice turned cold. Chen Wen, why are you here? I already told you not to come over. Why don't you listen?

The man called Chen Wen revealed a pained expression. I don't believe that you don't like me anymore. I don't believe that you have changed your mind.

Xu Xue frowned and seemed to have become a completely different person. She reached out and pushed Chen Wen. Her tone was cold as she said, I hate you. How many times do you want me to say it? Leave. Just pretend nothing happened between us. Don't come looking for me again.

Chen Wen staggered back from the push. Hearing Xu Xue's cold words, he held his chest and endured the pain as he said to Xu Xue, I don't believe you changed your mind. It's impossible for you to like Zhang Tianyou. I'll definitely find out what's going on.

After saying that, Chen Wen turned around and left.

Xu Xue frowned and retracted her gaze. Her displeasure quickly disappeared. She smiled at Liu Sanniang. Miss Liu, come in.

Xu Xue did not explain what had happened just now, nor did Liu Sanniang ask.

This was Xu Xue's private matter. She had no reason to dig for details.

After entering the courtyard, Mr. Xu looked at Xu Xue and frowned. When he saw Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan, he immediately stood up. You guys are back really early.

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Xu Xue was surprised. You're the ones who left the carriage in my house. What a coincidence.

Liu Sanniang smiled. Indeed a coincidence.

Xu Xue smiled. Then, sit down and rest. I'll go and cook now.

Liu Sanniang handed the wooden bucket to Xu Xue, who took the things and went to the kitchen.

Mr. Xu looked at Xu Xue's back and let out a long sigh. He smiled awkwardly at Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan and said, I don't know what happened either. Xue suddenly changed her mind.

Liu Sanniang said, Sir, to be honest, I'm a psychic. I saw your daughter once in the city yesterday. Now that I think about it, this is the third time I've seen her. Can you tell me what's going on? I think there's something wrong with her.

Mr. Xu looked at Liu Sanniang in a daze. M-Miss

Was he hard of hearing because of old age? How could such a young and good-looking girl be a psychic?

Liu Sanniang smiled. I'm destined to meet your daughter. It's fate.

The first time was at the inn, the second time was at the beach, and the third time was when they returned to the Xu family together. Liu Sanniang remembered the dream she had. She wondered if it was related to Xu Xue.

Mr. Xu looked at Liu Sanniang and felt very warm. He couldn't help but let down his guard.

He sighed and slowly said, Thinking about it makes my heart ache. The person you saw leaving just now was originally my son-in-law. They were supposed to get married next year, but ten days ago, Xu Xue suddenly wanted to break off the engagement with him. She said that the person she liked was Zhang Tianyou. Xue's mother passed away early, so I tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen. She said that if she couldn't marry Zhang Tianyou, she would kill herself.

From Mr. Xu's tone, Liu Sanniang could tell that he was helpless.

Mr. Xu continued. Chen Wen is an extremely good child. After the engagement was broken, he came to look for Xue every day. I know that he doesn't want to believe that Xue will have a change of heart.

Liu Sanniang said, Xu Xue didn't have a change of heart. She was poisoned.

As soon as Liu Sanniang said that, Mr. Xu was shocked. How, how is that possible? How can there be someone who can do that here? Besides, this kind of thing is against the will of the heavens and the poisoner will be punished severely.

Liu Sanniang looked at Mr. Xu seriously. Xu Xue was poisoned by someone. It's a love poison. That's why she had a change of heart and fell in love with someone else. If you don't believe me, you can take me to see the person Xu Xue is determined to marry. I can let you see it for yourself.
