He Linwan looked at Cao's appearance and sighed, she turned around and shook her head gently to the second lady who was walking over, the second lady was hesitating to come over, and when she saw this, she stood in place and did not move.

He Linwan gently helped Cao's and inadvertently touched Cao's wrist, she shook it, and He Linwan felt that she was touching a piece of ice, without any heat.

He Linwan helped Cao Shi into the door, and closed the door again with his backhand, blocking all sight outside the house.

In Cao's bedroom, Dongmei, the maid who followed her out, sat on the pedal in front of the bed in a daze, her eyes motionless, and there was no reaction from anyone in the room.

He Linwan helped Cao Shi to sit down in front of the collapse, wanting to let go of Cao's hand, but Cao Shi held her wrist tightly as if he was frightened, and the force was so strong that it seemed to crush her wrist bone, but He Linwan didn't even frown, just let her hold it like this.

"Dead ......," Cao said suddenly.

He Linwan looked at Cao Shi and asked, "Who died?"

"Heng...... Zeng Heng. Shaking his lips and spitting out these two words, Cao's tears couldn't stop falling.

He Linwan took out a handkerchief and handed it to Cao, and asked her softly: "If someone from the government comes to ask the second aunt, will the second aunt answer the same way?"

Cao Shi seemed to be suddenly reminded, "Yes, the government! I will go to report to the official and catch the murderer to avenge him." โ€

He Linwan said calmly: "Catching the murderer and taking revenge has fulfilled the friendship between the second aunt and that Zeng Heng, but what should the fourth sister do?"

Cao froze.

"Let people know that her biological mother has an affair with a foreign man, and her good life in the palace is probably coming to an end. โ€

Cao Shi shook his head in horror, "No, I didn't!

He Linwan nodded, "I naturally believe in the second aunt, but are others willing to believe it? If you go to report to the official, the government will definitely check your relationship with the deceased." Did the second aunt meet the deceased in private recently?"

The reality stimulated Cao Shi to finally calm down, and He Linwan felt that her hands were not so cold.

Cao Shi was stunned for a long time, and said bitterly: "He died for me." The murderer kidnapped me and forced him to save me, and he really came, and then he was ......"

Cao Shi recalled the nightmarish scene, couldn't go on, and the tears that had just stopped flowed again.

"I can't even get revenge on him. โ€

"Revenge?" chewing on these two words, He Linwan hooked the corners of his mouth and looked a little cold, "How do you know that Zeng Heng was not killed by someone seeking revenge?"

Hearing this, Cao subconsciously wanted to deny it, but she suddenly remembered what the murderer said before killing Zeng Heng, and he said: "Your dog's life is far from enough to repay the lives of dozens of my family, but the butcher's knife in my hand is better than nothing." โ€

Although Cao didn't know what Zeng Heng had done, she knew that what he had done over the years would not be able to be said in the open.

Cao's expression was a little surprised.

He Lin said lately: "Zeng Heng may not have died for you, but it is a fact that he dragged you down." The second aunt wants the fourth sister to be affected by you, so you can tell the truth to others. โ€

Cao Shi was silent for a while, shook his head, and said in a firm tone: "If you want to drag Zhen'er down, I'd rather die myself." โ€

He Linwan nodded, "It's good that the second aunt thinks it through." After that, no matter who came to ask you, you insisted that you were taken up the mountain by a frightened horse, and you didn't know anything else, you didn't know what Zeng Heng was, and you didn't witness any murders, so forget everything that happened today. โ€

Cao Shi nodded, but shook his head again, his expression was a little painful, "How could you forget." โ€

He Linwan didn't care that Cao's heart was forgotten, as long as she didn't talk nonsense in front of people. She also explained some of Cao's words to deal with everyone, and Cao remembered them one by one, and finally He Linwan looked at Dongmei who was sitting on the side.

Cao Shi also looked at Dongmei and said, "I will arrange a rich dowry for her and marry far away." โ€

He Linwan said: "How can she marry like this? Find a doctor to show her first, and if she is sober, you tell her not to talk nonsense." โ€

Zeng Heng is not innocent, but this maid is innocent.

Cao Shi responded, "She has been loyal to me for many years and will not talk nonsense." โ€

He Lin saw that everything that should be explained was explained, so he got up to leave.

Cao Shi also got up, saying that she was a mother, and her current appearance had almost returned to normal, but her face was still a little pale.

"How do you know that I ...... Zeng Heng" Cao couldn't help but hesitate and asked.

He Linwan stopped, "He's the person you said had something to do with the Xue family, right?"

"Hmm. Cao nodded, hesitated for a moment, and explained, "He is also a poor man, he lost his father when he was a child, his mother did odd jobs to support him growing up, and when I was still at my mother's house, he helped her mother send some vegetables to my back kitchen, so I got to know him." Later, when his mother was seriously ill and could not borrow money everywhere, I took my jewelry and sent it to them, and he remembered my kindness all these years. โ€

Of course, the Cao family concealed Zeng Heng's admiration for her, and when she was young, she also fell in love with the smart young man who secretly read and read while doing odd jobs to support her family, but in the end she had to accept the arrangement of her elders to marry into the He family.

He Linwan was not interested in these things, and only asked, "What is his relationship with the Xue family?"

The Cao family had nothing to hide at this time, and said: "I only know that the Xue family has a handle in the hands of his employer, and I had to do things for his employer at the beginning, and I ...... Zeng Heng had followed that employer for many years, so he knew something, and the Xue family didn't dare to offend him easily. โ€

He Linwan understood that Zeng Heng was actually just taking advantage of the power of that employer, a fox and a fake tiger.

"Is his employer's surname Fan?"

"I don't know, he rarely talks to me about what he's doing out there. The only time he mentions it was five years ago, when he suddenly received a large silver bounty. Cao Shi said while recalling, "I refused to ask for the silver he gave me, and he was a little anxious to reveal something to me, saying that the silver was a reward for him to help his employer do a big thing, and even the Xue family would not dare to offend him easily in the future, and he was not short of silver." โ€

He Linwan ironically thought that the so-called big incident five years ago should have been to help his employer, the Fan family, harm the Yang family.

Knowing that the Cao family couldn't ask anything here, He Linwan left without saying anything.

When the second lady saw that He Lin came out late, she hurriedly asked, "How is your second aunt?"

He Linwan collected his emotions and said to the second lady: "I just chatted with the second aunt about the fourth sister, and she is already much better. The grandmother was relieved, and the second aunt said that she was just frightened when she woke up and found herself in the grave mountain, and there was a deserted grave in front of her. โ€

The second lady clasped her hands together, "Amitabha, thank God!"
