Chapter 30 The cause of Chen's death

Seeing Xu Rong staring at himself with horror in his eyes, Liu Bei was a little unnatural, but he still continued: "There are some problems in this matter, which is simply confusing, let me wait for seven years to investigate, and I can't alarm the government." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Liu Bei didn't know that Dong Xiaoyou had already guessed seventy or eighty percent in his heart, but he told her roughly the ins and outs of the whole thing: Fourteen years ago, Xu Qian and Xu Rong's biological mother, the maid Chen who was only fifteen years old at the time, fell in love, Xu Qian even preferred to give up the family business of the three generations of the Xu family and leave the Xu Mansion for the sake of the Chen family, but the old woman of the Xu family was still alive at that time, and under the huge pressure of the family, Xu Qian stayed in the Xu Mansion, and the Xu Mansion reluctantly recognized the identity of the Chen family, and the relationship between Xu Qian and the Chen family may be the real "fate", Xu Qian even ignored the opposition of his family, and wanted to divorce his wife Wang, as well as dismiss Zou and Murong, of course, such a crazy move was naturally opposed by everyone, and Xu's mother and Steward Chen and others even threatened each other with death. In the end, Xu Qian failed to do so, but in the West Chamber with a lot of family wealth to build a rich and luxurious plum garden, Chen then lived in Xu Qian's large-scale construction of the plum garden, because she was pregnant, after the family will serve her, Xu Qian occasionally went out of the house to run the industry, at the end of the year, Chen gave birth to a daughter, but the body is getting weaker and weaker, less than three months, died early, only twenty-eight Fanghua. Chen's death made Mr. Xu very sad, at this moment, there was an old Tao in the family, this old Tao is a famous half-immortal in Youzhou, what he said in his life is true, he asserted that it is the "evil seed" in Chen's womb, because he was born with a huge "evil spirit", so that Chen died, Xu Qian because of Chen's death, blamed all unrelated people, naturally this baby girl was also disliked by him, his relationship with Chen, no one can intervene, even if it is his own daughter...... Therefore, since it was the birth of his daughter that led to Chen's death, it is already commendable that Master Xu did not kill the baby girl on the spot.

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Dong Xiaoyou's heart fluttered for a while: she didn't expect that there would be such a loving and infatuated person in this world, her father's love for her mother Chen has reached the point of madness and even selfishness, no wonder she has no one to take care of her since she was a child...... She frowned and asked sadly, "Uncle Liu, what is it ......now?" Is it because my father cares so much about me that I have grown up and look like my mother? ā€

Dong Xiaoyou seemed to think about it, and when the "daddy" saw him playing the kite for the first time, he seemed to call her faintly: "Xue'er" Xue'er. It seems that his mother's name is Chen Xue...... It turns out that he is loved by his father now, not because he shows how knowledgeable he is, but just because he dressed himself well, so that his father inadvertently saw that he remembered his dead mother, and recalled the relationship that his father had hidden in his heart, as evidenced by letting himself live in the Meixiangyuan where his mother once lived. Thinking of this, Dong Xiaoyou seemed to have a sense of defeat, his father didn't care about this daughter in his heart, he only cared about the crazy love for the Chen family in his heart.

Biluo saw the sadness in the eyes of the fourth lady, and hurriedly whispered in her ear: "The master's feelings for the fourth miss now are not just because of his love for Mrs. Chen......" Biluo was comforting herself, Dong Xiaoyou said secretly in her heart, not believing her words at all.

"Fourth Miss, don't say that, Brother Xu also talked to me about you, he said that he was very guilty, and he recognized you impulsively at the earliest, just because he saw the shadow of the Chen family in you, which revived his love. But later, after asking himself again and again in the past few months, he felt that he seemed to have forgotten what kind of care he should have for his children as a father, so he also wanted to make amends, so he loves you now, not just because you look like your mother Chen. Liu Bei even patted his chest in order to keep Xu Rong from being sad, "I, Liu Xuande, have never told lies, please rest assured, Fourth Miss." ā€

Dong Xiaoyou raised her head, her frowning eyebrows gradually eased, she smiled and said, "I'm not sad, even if my father is good to me now just because of the love influence on my mother, and he doesn't care about my feelings as a daughter...... I won't hate Daddy either," she repeated softly, "Yes, I didn't hate him, Rong'er never hated him...... Even if he hasn't cared for Rong'er for more than ten years...... "Because, after all, Xu Rong's true feelings and memories are still imposed on her, and she must think hard to emerge, so she has a kind of bystander's calmness in her heart, as if she is talking about someone else's mood.

Dong Xiaoyou's secluded attitude surprised Biluo and Liu Bei, what kind of mentality is this for such a young girl to accept this kind of life so indifferently? (Author's note: The bystander is just clear, and it is the same for anyone, after all, the person who has experienced the miserable life of not having parents for more than ten years is not the real Dong Xiaoyou himself)

Liu Bei was slightly surprised in his heart, his face was still calm, but he suddenly felt pity for Xu Rong, and sighed: "Brother Xu has a daughter like you, which makes Bei Haosheng envious." ā€

After a pause, Liu Bei continued: Seven years ago, after the old man Xu accidentally met Liu Bei's family, who was running a shoe in Zhuo County, and Liu Bei felt like acquaintance in a short period of time, and after getting drunk once, he told Liu Bei all the things about his beloved wife, and Liu Bei told him: The respected "half-immortal" is just a fraudster, because he defrauded Zhuojun Taishou of one million dollars, he has been arrested, according to an investigation, his real life span is not two hundred years old at all, It's just a liar in his fifties, and because this person has been cheating everywhere for more than ten years, he has been sent to Beijing to be convicted. After Xu Qian heard this, he regretted being angry with his daughter, but he was a strong person, and his heart was still unresolved, so he still refused to recognize his daughter. But he began to suspect the cause of Chen's death, and asked someone to investigate, in this regard, Liu Bei and others, who had a large number of contacts in Zhuo County, because Master Xu generously funded their studies, in order to repay Master Xu, they promised to agree to investigate the matter. It wasn't until recently that some intermittent clues were finally found: it turned out that the one who killed Chen was poisoned! This poison turned out to be hidden on the body of Master Xu's concubine Murong when he was captured by the Han army, originally only for self-protection, but later because it was sold to Master Xu, seeing that Master Xu was a good man, the poison had no use, until the Chen family appeared, because of Chen, several wives and concubines in the family were uneasy, so they bought off the Lang Zhong who had been treating Chen's family, so that he would not make a noise, and put a little poison in Chen's fetal medicine every time, Except for the Murong family, only the Zou family had a deep friendship with the Murong family, and it was the Murong family who told the Zou family, and the Zou family gave it to the Wang family...... In the end, the Wang family arranged for the poisoning, and the Murong family gradually provided the poison, and it was not until Mrs. Chen left her daughter Xu Rong that the small package of poison was completely used. The poisoning and medicine maid was sent out of the house by the Wang family long before Chen's death, so it did not arouse the suspicion of Master Xu Qian, and Lang Zhong fled in fear because of Chen's death, Xu Qian only thought that Lang Zhong was worried that he was accusing him of being a quack, but he didn't know that it was actually Wang and others who were behind it. It wasn't until Liu Bei took advantage of the opportunities of business and study in the past seven years to visit everywhere, and finally met the maid who had been poisoned in Bingzhou, obtained a testimony, and found that Langzhong in Yi County, which was confirmed. Fortunately, according to that Lang Zhong's confession, this poison does not affect the fetus in the womb, so his daughter Xu Rong is safe, otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the end of one corpse and two lives. As for the old way, it was also bought by the Wang family with the maid, originally they hoped that the old man would throw away the baby girl and leave her to fend for herself......

Hearing these words, Dong Xiaoyou's heart was frightened, how Liu Bei investigated, she was not interested; The death of her biological mother was related to the lady of the house, and she had already guessed it, but what she didn't expect was that the person who provided the poison turned out to be the most kind Murong "mother" who had never had a dispute with anyone in the house!! Hmph, what a Murong "mother"...... No wonder she was so good to herself when others snubbed her, it turned out that she had a ghost in her heart. It's no wonder that when Zou was pretended to be a ghost by her, she just said vigorously, "I didn't hurt you", it was indeed not her, and the person who gave the poison and poisoned was indeed not her, but she was also weak-hearted! The two Wang family have bullied Xu Rong since they were children, just because their wife Wang was almost divorced because of Xu Rong's biological mother!!

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he looked at Xu Rong guiltily: "Fourth Miss, it's a pity that we didn't report this matter to the official, and we can't give your mother justice, because we have to be decided by Brother Xu first, and now I have brought those two witnesses to the house...... Everything has to be decided by Brother Xu. Brother Xu wanted us to hide this from you, but I personally think that the environment you are in does not seem to be very good, I want to tell you this in advance, and remind you to have one more heart, I am afraid that none of the relatives in this house can be trusted. ā€

Dong Xiaoyou felt dizzy for a while, and the sky was dizzy...... She pressed her temples with her hands, trembling all over, she hugged herself tightly with both hands, and murmured, "Aunt Wang, Aunt Zou, Murong ...... Auntie, they all ...... They...... They ......"

Looking at her pitiful appearance of loss and helplessness, Biluo's heart was also sour, she hugged Dong Xiaoyou's young body, stroked her head lovingly like a sister, and said softly: "Miss, don't do this...... You still have slaves and maids, only the master and the slaves must really love you. ā€

Liu Bei didn't feel very comfortable seeing her like this, he knew how hard such a fact was for a young girl, but he couldn't bear to see Xu Rong living with enemies in this mansion in a daze, and he didn't watch out for these people at all.

He squinted at Biluo, as if asking Biluo if he could comfort Xu Rong, Biluo's eyes met with him, nodded affirmatively, signaling that he could leave, so Liu Bei said goodbye to Xu Rong softly.

Dong Xiaoyou's big eyes widened round, with a terrifying expression: "I'm so scared...... Biluo, I'm so scared... I'm afraid of all the people in this house...... I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I will be swallowed by this group of hungry wolves......"

Biluo listened to it, she couldn't hold back any longer, she burst into tears, and said to Xu Rong: "Fourth Miss, there is Biluo, as long as the slave is here, even if there is still a breath, I will not let anyone bully you and harm you." Anyone who wants to be bad for Miss has to step over my corpse, please don't do that, Miss......"

Dong Xiaoyou now felt that anyone in the mansion seemed to be staring at him fiercely, as if he was ready to bite off a piece of meat from him at any time...... Her eyes were full of fear, but listening to Biluo's words made her gradually calm down, and now she was very confused: when she arrived in ancient times, didn't she just ask for a stable life? Why is it so difficult?? When Daddy doesn't hurt himself, he has been wronged, and he has nothing to eat and wear; After Daddy loves himself, he has good food, drink, and clothing, but he must always beware of the aunts and brothers in the house who calculate themselves......

Wait, Dong Xiaoyou seems to have thought of something, what Uncle Liu Bei said just now seems to have told his father everything, and all the witnesses have been brought, which shows that ...... God, she didn't dare to think about it, with her father's dedication to her mother, when he knew the truth of all this, it was strange that the Xu Mansion was not overturned by him! If Daddy really killed Aunt Zou and Aunt Murong for this reason, and divorced Mrs. Wang, would he really be worthy of Xu Rong's biological mother Chen? Now that the eldest brother Xu Fu has married a wife and become a county official, the second brother and the third brother are about to reach the age of the crown, and the fourth brother Xu Ban is also very caring to him, can they really make them lose their mothers in an instant? ?

No, you have to do something! Thinking of this, Dong Xiaoyou felt that it was necessary for him not to let his father make the mistake that made him regret it for the rest of his life.
