However, the awkward atmosphere in this cave seems to be difficult to eliminate in a short time.

The two were silent for a long time. After a long while, Yang Huiyu said: "Do you feel the wound is better? Applying badger oil on the wound is very effective."

Cao Liang asked curiously: "You actually know medical skills?"

Yang Huiyu shook his head gently and said: "Actually, I don't know much about medical skills. The method of using badger oil to heal injuries was given to me by my father."

Cao Liang said: "It can be seen that Miss Yang has a very deep feeling for your father."

Yang Huiyu said with a sad expression: "It's a pity that my father passed away early. I was still young at that time, so I couldn't fulfill my filial piety in front of my knees. This is probably the biggest regret in my life."

"Who else is in Miss Yang's family?"

"Both my father and brother have passed away, and only my mother and a younger brother are dependent on each other in the family."

It seems that the younger brother mentioned by Yang Huiyu was the later famous Uncle Yang Hu. Although Yang Huiyu's family was from a wealthy family, because her father and brother died early, there was no backbone in the family, and she was orphaned and widowed. Yes, life must be difficult.

"I heard that Miss Yang has been betrothed to Sima Shi, the son of Taifu Sima. The Sima family is a prominent figure in the court, and many people can't get enough of her. Why is it that Miss Yang is so unhappy?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Huiyu couldn't help but frown, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.

However, she did not reply to the previous question by asking how did you know that the engagement between the Sima family and the Yang family was not made public, but the circle of the upper class and the powerful was so large that it was impossible to hide it from others.

What's more, the Sima family has no intention of hiding it from anyone, so although the betrothal gift has just been given, everyone in the court already knows about this marriage.

Cao Liang is from the Gaolinghou Mansion, so it is not surprising for Yang Huiyu to know this kind of news.

She said softly: "Everyone knows that wealth is good, but they don't know that once you enter a noble family, it is as deep as the sea. I have seen so many intrigues and intrigues in the mansions, and I feel disgusted in my heart. I would rather live in poverty and live in peace and stability." I don’t want to live an ordinary life and enjoy that kind of glory and wealth.”

Cao Liang asked curiously: "Then why did your father-in-law agree to this marriage?"

Yang Huiyu smiled bitterly and said: "How can we, an orphan and a widowed mother, take the lead in a marriage of this kind of aristocratic family? The uncles in the clan want to cling to the Sima family, so they will consider the feelings of our mother and daughter."

Cao Liang couldn't help but fell silent. Yes, women in ancient times did not have the right to advocate for their own marriage. They could not decide who they wanted to marry according to their parents' orders. Even if their parents passed away, there would still be family members. Your uncles and uncles from the Nakamoto family will make the decision for you.

When they consider marriage partners, they often start from the interests of the family. As for whether the marriage is happy or not, it is not within their scope of consideration.

Yang Weiyu is instinctively opposed to this marriage. In fact, not only Yang Weiyu, but any woman hates this kind of marriage. Imagine that only on the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber can you see the groom's face, and what? What kind of love can we talk about?

Those longings for love can only stay in the legend of Zhuo Wenjun selling wine in a gang, and can only stay in the poems and songs of Guan Guanjujiu.

Especially for those ladies from aristocratic families, their marriages are often entangled with political interests. Wanting to pursue love freely is tantamount to wishful thinking.

With Yang Huiyu's identity and status, it was difficult to express any objection to the marriage, but she wanted to find someone to talk to about the misery in her heart.

That's why she went to Beiman Mountain and cried in front of her father's grave.

Maybe only if her father is alive, these people in the Yang family will not betray her without restraint. Maybe only if her father is alive, they will care about her, love her, and respect her wishes.

It's a pity that the deceased has passed away, and the father who once doted on her has been buried here. Even if her tears are sprinkled on the cold tombstone, she will never be able to get a word of reply.

After a long silence, Yang Huiyu smiled reluctantly. In the laughter, there was deep sadness and endless loneliness that could not be wiped away: "I haven't said thank you yet. The grace of saving my life is unforgettable. There will be more in the future."

Opportunities must be rewarded generously.”

Cao Liang said: "Miss Yang, there is no need to be polite. When the road is rough, use your sword to help. Anyone who knows etiquette and righteousness will do this."

Yang Huiyu shook his head and said: "Young Master Cao is too humble. The world is cold and cold, people's hearts are as dangerous as snakes and scorpions, and human relationships are as thin as spring ice. How many righteous men like this Young Master who sacrifice their lives to save others can be seen in this world? I dare not say thank you for my great kindness, even in this life.

If she cannot repay the kindness of the young master, the little girl will definitely repay him with grass in her mouth in the next life."

Cao Liang consoled him: "Actually, Miss Yang, there is no need to be sad. I have always heard that Sima Ziyuan is as handsome as Shen Yi, and he has such a good son-in-law. Maybe others can't envy him?"

Yang Huiyu said quietly: "Master Cao really doesn't know, or is he pretending to be confused?"

"What is Miss Yang referring to?" Cao Liang didn't expect Yang Huiyu to ask so directly, so he had no choice but to be confused.

Yang Huiyu didn't believe that Cao Liang, as a member of the clan, was unaware of the things that were widely circulated, but she couldn't bear to expose it in person, so she kept to herself: "There are rumors that Xia Houhui, the first wife of Master Sima, did not die of illness, but

He was killed by Master Sima, do you think this kind of man who never let go of his wife would be a good match?"

Cao Liang was secretly surprised. Sima Shizhen's murder of Xiahou Hui should be an extremely secret matter. There must be very few people who knew about it. Otherwise, how could the Xiahou family just let it go?

Cao Liang knew about this because it was recorded in history books, and history books were written by people after the Jin Dynasty, so naturally they would not avoid anything.

What he didn't expect was that Yang Huiyu actually knew about this matter. One can imagine what kind of wife-killing maniac Master Sima was portrayed as in the market rumors.

A man who never lets go of his wife is indeed not a woman's favorite.

If you really want people to know nothing, unless you do nothing about it, even if the Sima family tries their best to cover up this matter, it will inevitably be leaked out. Although there is no direct evidence, this does not prevent it from becoming a topic of conversation among people after dinner.

Cao Liang said: "Since it's a rumor, I'm afraid it can't be true. I heard that Xia Houhui gave birth to five daughters for Master Sima, and they are very affectionate. If Master Sima kills his own wife, what's the difference between him and an animal?"

Cao Liang's words were obviously meant to defend Master Sima, but in fact they equated him with a beast.

To be honest, through contact, Cao Liang discovered that Yang Huiyu had a pure and kind-hearted heart, just like a piece of white jade that had not been covered with dust. Thinking that such a beautiful woman had to marry the sinister and cold Master Sima, it was indeed not a blessing. Cao Liang

Liang wholeheartedly disapproved of this marriage.
