Night falls. The starlight did not dim because of the loss of a person, on the contrary, the stars were shining in the sky tonight.

Chen Zhiyuan seemed to be tireless, looking for it inch by inch. And Stealing Jade stood to the side in a daze, losing the ability to think, just watching. When Chen Zhiyuan turned over the entire ruins and still found nothing, he finally gave up.

Stealing Jade looked at the man in the cloth clothes, but from noon to night, he seemed to be ten years old. Chen Zhiyuan staggered out of the ruins and smiled weakly: "Jinxuan, she is really decisive, and she even refuses to leave her body to me!" As he spoke, he pointed to the piles of ashes on the ground, and said to the girl, "You see, I can't tell which ones are her and which ones are burned out. ”

"My lord......" As soon as Stealing Yu spoke, he felt a stream of warm liquid burst out of his eyes. From the time she learned that Jinxuan had died, to seeing the small courtyard burned so badly, she never cried. Now seeing Chen Zhiyuan's dejected appearance, stealing jade finally couldn't be suppressed.

Chen Zhiyuan seemed to have been drained of his strength and sat down on the ground. His eyes were empty, and he just took out the glass hairpin that he had stolen from his arms, rubbed it mechanically, and said to himself: "Actually, from the time I saw you send the hairpin back, I knew that things were not good. When I gave you this hairpin, you liked it in your heart, but you always refused to accept it. I sue you, this is a gift from the Holy Lord. The Holy One said that this is a very important treasure, and he gave it to me because he trusted me and asked me to protect it with my life. If anything goes wrong with this hairpin, I will pay with my life! So I gave you the hairpin, and told you, this is my life, and I have put my life into your hands......"

So that's it! No wonder Jinxuan insisted on sending the jasper glazed hairpin back to Chen's mansion, and said that the Hu family was worthy of this hairpin.

Chen Zhiyuan looked at the ruins of the small courtyard and continued: "I know, why are you leaving. The Qian Gentry must use my reputation to blackmail you, and ask you to persuade me to give up pursuing his official purchase, right? You've always been like this, since you were young, you think about me in everything, and you never think about yourself. Jinxuan, am I really worthy of your treatment? You have returned my 'life' to my hands, but you don't want your own life? Jinxuan, do you know that fame and fortune, a lifetime of clarity, compared to you, are not important......"

Stealing Yu sat down beside Chen Zhiyuan, hugged her knees tightly, and spoke: "Madame, she said that her love is not great at all, she just met someone who is worth her giving." ”

Chen Zhiyuan smiled lightly: "It seems that Jinxuan likes you very much and tells you everything." I don't know what kind of person you are or why you're by her side, but I know you're a nice girl. Xiaolian, did Jinxuan tell you that she had a child with me? ”

"Kid?" Stealing Jade exclaimed, "Madame didn't mention it. ”

"Yes, we had a child, a daughter." Chen Zhiyuan said, "The reason why she didn't say it was because it was a pain that she couldn't touch." After her husband died, I cleared her name, and we had a little good time. Later, she left me with a book, and she was pregnant by then. In fact, she left a book and ran away, and I quickly found her whereabouts. But since she didn't want to see me again, I didn't let her find out. I left someone behind and would go over and see how she was doing every once in a while. I was overjoyed to learn that she was pregnant, and thought that maybe after the baby was born, she would want to reconsider our relationship. But I didn't expect that Jinxuan gave birth to our daughter, but I was afraid that because I was a surviving person, I would ruin my reputation and affect my daughter's reputation in the future. She, she secretly sent her daughter out after the child was full moon......"

Stealing jade covered her mouth and exclaimed softly: "Madame, she, sent your daughter away?" ”

Chen Zhiyuan's eyes kept staring at the ruins, and said: "She found a family, the couple is very good, the family is also good, there are two sons, and she wants a daughter. Jinxuan felt that her daughter would be better off if she went to that family than by her side. ”

"And then?" Stealing Yu hurriedly asked, since the person Chen Zhiyuan planted next to Jinxuan told him that his daughter was going to be sent away, Chen Zhiyuan should not stand idly by.

Chen Zhiyuan replied lightly: "Later, I went to that family and asked my daughter back. I took her back to the house and raised her by my side, only to adopt a daughter. It's just that Jinxuan hasn't known about this matter. There have been several times when I wanted to tell the truth, but I was afraid that Jinxuan would be sad, and I was afraid that my current wife would be sad. After all, Lan Yin loves our daughter very much and treats her as her own. It's just that Jinxuan still hasn't been able to see Er Xin after all......"

Stealing Yu was so shocked that she covered her mouth, it turned out that Chen Erxin was actually the biological daughter of Chen Zhiyuan and Jinxuan! Jinxuan, what kind of forbearant woman is she? For Chen Zhiyuan, she can really ignore everything and give up everything!

The night breeze was cool and blowing, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt smoke. Before going out in the morning, Jinxuan was wearing a long dress with a honey-colored bee butterfly pattern, her hair was tied into a neat bun, leaning on the door frame and waving goodbye to her with a smile. It's no wonder that she has been ill recently, and her spirit suddenly improved, which is probably what people call a return to light. But before she died, Madame didn't see the person she was thinking about, and I don't know if there would be any regrets?

At this moment, Chen Zhiyuan spoke again, and his voice was a little hoarse compared to just now: "Now is not the time to be immersed in pain, I will definitely thoroughly investigate the matter of buying and selling officials, punish those wicked people, and avenge Jinxuan!" With that, he stood up, held on, and walked forward step by step.

Chen Zhiyuan took a handful of white ashes from the ruins, put them in the bag he carried, and said to the thief jade, "First of all, I bother you to help me guard Jinxuan, at most two days, I will definitely kill Qian Shen's house!" ”

Chen Zhiyuan really did what he said. However, two days later, the news came that the matter of Qian Shen and Zhizhou's official purchase was exposed. Later, the imperial court sent the criminal department to investigate the matter thoroughly, severely punished all the people involved in the case, and confiscated the family property of the Qian gentry, put him on death row, and beheaded him in a few days.

Chen Zhiyuan returned to the small courtyard on the night he finished this matter. He looked very tired, and he had lost a lot of weight in two days. For some reason, Stealing Jade only felt that when he saw Chen Zhiyuan again, he was no longer the same person he was before. It's as if a person's appearance has not changed, but his heart is dead, and only a walking corpse remains.
