Chapter 48: Humble Love
It was a being who had once been incomparably majestic, who had given her all the illusions of home that had only made people what she was today, and he fished himself out of the fire pit but led her into another fire pit. Liu Qian looked at the dying old man on the hospital bed and was very entangled in her heart, tears kept rolling in her eyes. Putting everything aside, she really loved this man, because he gave herself hope, so she didn't care about age and the gossip outside, she just wanted to be able to live the life she wanted with him smoothly, but unfortunately the struggle here was darker, and she could only be a pawn for others.
"Master," Liu Qian called softly, Wan Ming was already asleep at this moment, Liu Qian didn't want to wake him up, she was afraid that he would be frightened when he saw himself like this.
Liu Qian sat lightly at the head of Wan Ming's bed and just watched quietly, why couldn't they be an ordinary couple? The wealth and glory of this deep mansion compound is just a shackle that makes it impossible for people to live as they want.
Looking at Wan Ming in front of her, Liu Qian recalled the bits and pieces they used to be together, and she was really happy for a while.
"Master, I will protect you" Liu Qian whispered next to Wan Ming's ear, and then got up and left the room.
Tears flowed from the corners of Wan Ming's wrinkled eyes.
"The guest officer is coming," as soon as he approached the Qinglou, Lin Xuan heard a coquettish anger that made people's bones crispy.
I saw a few women standing at the door with heavy makeup and scratching their heads at the passers-by.
"Yingchun Building" Lin Xuan looked up at the plaque to hide his embarrassment.
"Yo, isn't this Lord Ma, why do you have time to come to me?" An old bustard-like person saw Ma Zhi and immediately came over to greet him, but the gouache on her body was too heavy to stimulate Lin Xuan's nose.
"Don't talk nonsense, we're here to find Chunliu," Ma Zhi shouted impatiently to the old bustard.
"Okay, I'll let Chunliu serve the two masters," the old bustard knew that although Ma Zhi's grade was not big, this kind of person had a great influence on them, so they always responded to their needs.
As soon as you enter the inside, you can see all kinds of people drinking flower wine inside, these women use the heavens to give their bodies, and through various means, they seduce the instincts of men, making them take out the white flowers and silver, in short, four words, each take what he needs.
"First time here, right?" Although Lin Xuan had been pretending to be calm, he was still recognized by Ma Zhi at a glance.
"It's indeed my first time, it looks like Brother Ma should be a regular visitor here?" Lin Xuan teased.
"Don't talk nonsense, if you let your sister-in-law know that I have good fruits to eat, I only come here occasionally to listen to small songs," Ma Zhijian was debunked by Lin Xuan and immediately explained.
Seeing Ma Zhi's jumping feet, Lin Xuan smiled and stopped talking, after all, their purpose was to see Chunliu, who was good with Liu Qian back then, not to tease each other here.
Chunliu is a very unpopular person in the Yingchun Building, the most obvious sign is a stinky face that is always as cold as frost, most of the people who come here are looking for happiness, who wants to face such a face, not to mention that Chunliu's appearance is really average.
"Is there anything wrong with Lord Ma coming to me?" As soon as Chunliu came in, she immediately asked straight to the point, she wouldn't think that Ma Zhi came over for the sake of men and women.
"We want to know about Liu Qian," Ma Zhi said directly.
"People are already dead, what's the use of asking these questions?" Chunliu seemed a little reluctant to mention Liu Qian,
"Have you heard about what's happened in Wanfu recently?" This time it was Lin Xuan who spoke.
"You mean the ghost is her?" Chunliu still cares about Liu Qian very much.
Lin Xuan did not admit it or deny it.
Chunliu hesitated for a moment, her eyes lingering over Lin Xuan and Ma Zhi.
"Liu Qian, what an ordinary name, but she liked it very much at the time" Finally, Chunliu decided to tell them about these old things.
"We have always depended on each other, working as geisha in this Spring Festival Building to support ourselves, although we have fallen into the dust, we still keep what we think is the most precious, until we meet Wan Ming, the man who changed her life" Chunliu seems to have a prejudice against Wan Ming, and there is some mockery in her words.
As soon as Wan Ming came, she only chatted with Qian'er Fuqin and did nothing else, and gradually Qian'er began to be moved, because Wan Ming promised to give Qian'er a home, which was what she wanted the most, so she gave herself completely to Wan Ming, she was so happy, it seemed that all the previous hardships were offset by the sweetness of those days, and the sisters around her were persuading her, telling her that characters like Wan Ming would not care about us people, how could a dusty woman marry into Wanfu? But Qian'er was willing, she even said that even if Wan Ming lied to her, she was willing, and at that moment I knew that she was really in love with Wan Ming," Chunliu said as she stroked a pendant on her body.
Chunliu's words made Lin Xuan think deeply, he believed that this was the story of Liu Qian and Wan Ming, Liu Qian really loved Wan Ming.
After that, Wan Ming really married Qian'er into Wanfu, and I was really happy for her at that time. But later, for the sake of the reputation of Wanjia, Qian'er became a canary in a cage, and she couldn't see people and couldn't come out, even so Qian'er was willing, she was willing to give up her freedom for this man, but it was such a person who inexplicably chose to escape from Wanfu, and even committed suicide by throwing herself into the river? Chunliu didn't believe it, she didn't believe it from the beginning, how could a woman who loved so humbly give up Wan Ming?
"Do you think there's something else going on with her death?" Lin Xuan heard what Chunliu meant.
"I told her a long time ago that the dirtiness of the Qinglou is obvious, but the dirtiness in those wealthy compounds is hidden in the bones", it can be seen that Chunliu hates the people of the Wanjia family very much.
"Okay, let's stop talking about it today, shall we?" Lin Xuan felt that Chunliu's emotions seemed to be a little out of control, and he wanted to stop talking in time.
"You don't believe it? When Qian'er got married, there was a maid who followed, but after the incident, they disappeared together," Chunliu saw Lin Xuan like this, and broke another piece of news.
Lin Xuan looked at Chunliu in shock, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.
"When Liu Qian got married, she did buy herself a maid from the outside and named her Xiaolian," After coming out of the Qinglou, Ma Zhi quickly found out about this maid.
"Well, now that you find this maid, all the puzzles will be solved" This clue made Ma Zhi very excited.
"What's wrong?" Ma Zhi felt that Lin Xuan didn't seem to be happy, and kept lowering his head and pondering something.
"I think we should take a good look at the detailed missing persons in Wanfu that year" Lin Xuan found that he had been ignoring a problem all along, his eyes had been staring at Wan Qifeng, forgetting those who had been in Wanfu despite their humble status, some of them definitely knew something different.
"How's it going to be today?" As soon as he returned to the wing room of Wanfu, Zhou Tong looked at Lin Xuan with a curious expression.
"I'm just going to investigate the case, don't think too much," Lin Xuan could only respond helplessly to Zhou Tong's eyes.
"What I'm talking about is investigating the case, is it possible that you think I'm talking about something, Xuan'er, you are still young, and you have to be pure" Zhou Tong changed to a bitter look again.
"You ......" Lin Xuan directly made him speechless.
"I'll go out for a walk" didn't speculate, Lin Xuan had no choice but to go out.
"In the evening, the second master of the Wan family has prepared a dinner," Zhou Tong immediately shouted when he saw that Lin Xuan was going out.
"Got it," Lin Xuan responded.
Seeing Lin Xuan leaving, Zhou Tong's mood was also very complicated, on the one hand, he hoped that Lin Xuan would find out the truth and prove his ability, and on the other hand, he wanted Lin Xuan to fail, so that he could not go to the place of right and wrong.
