Chapter 139: The Heart (1)
In Qin Suwen's opinion, since Fang Xu trusted him so much.
So why did he disappoint Fang Xu? Thinking of this, Qin Suwen stretched lazily.
Then he looked at the music at hand with a solemn look, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I'm glad you helped me share the burden, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Qin Suwen muttered as if talking to himself.
And at this moment in Danyang County, Murong Bai returned to his mansion.
Although Murong Bai and Murong Fu are cousins with a good relationship, to put it bluntly, Murong Bai is not a direct bloodline.
Therefore, Murong Fu treats Murong Bai more as a subordinate.
Or maybe it's a more advanced subordinate, right? And don't these Murong Bai himself know?!
Murong Bai naturally knew it, but what could he say?!
Even in Murong Bai's own opinion, he could only choose to endure these unfair things.
That is, because Murong Bai is not a descendant of the Murong family, these are actually nothing in Murong Bai's own opinion.
After all, how can you change these things?! can only be happy to flatter Murong Fu with a grin.
But how could Murong Fu treat himself as a human being?! It's one thing not to say it's human, or even not to be yourself at all!
Thinking of this, Murong Bai clenched the warm wine in his hand, and looked at his wife who was resting on the bed with a somewhat complicated look.
No one would have imagined that Murong Bai would already have a family and a business, but these Fang Xu made Lao Wu's investigation clear.
It was precisely because Fang Xu investigated Murong Bai's details that Fang Xu also understood that Murong Bai would definitely choose to stand on his side.
Why is Fang Xu so sure? Naturally, it was because Murong Bai loved his wife very much.
But Murong Fu didn't take Murong Bai in his eyes at all, and when he saw that Murong Bai's wife was good-looking, he even had bad thoughts.
And this is why Murong Bai seems to be very loyal to Murong Fu on the surface, but in his heart, he can't wait for Murong Fu to die, right?!
Picking up the warm wine that had cooled in his hand, Murong Bai drank it all as if he didn't notice it!
Although he had already met Fang Xu, he also understood what Fang Xu was going to do now.
But Murong Bai still has some confidence in his heart, after all, the Murong family has existed for hundreds of years, who can shake it?!
A hundred years of emperors, a thousand years of earth.
Is it really just talk?! Thinking of this, Murong Bai wanted to ask his wife's opinion.
But when Murong Bai took advantage of the faint candle flame to see the scars on his wife's face and wrists.
Murong Bai gritted his teeth to prevent himself from roaring.
How could Murong Bai not know where these scars came from?! A crazy thought bloomed in Murong Bai's heart.
"Fang Xu! It doesn't matter if your identity is true or not! As long as you can bring down Murong Fu! My Murong Bai's life is yours! Murong Bai thought secretly in his heart, and suddenly didn't notice the tea cup that had been crushed in his hand.
The crushed teacup pierced into Murong Bai's fat and white palm, didn't Murong Bai hurt?!
Of course Murong Bai hurts! But what is this compared to the pain in my heart?!
At this moment, Murong Bai had already made his own decision, and on the other hand, Zhang He, who had returned to the county guard's office, sat in the lobby sluggishly.
I don't know why, the lobby is so quiet tonight?
The old housekeeper warmed up Zhang He with a glass of warm wine, and Zhang He looked at the old housekeeper standing beside him with some curiosity.
Apparently asking the old butler why is the lobby so quiet tonight?!
If it were another time, the lobby would have been lively when I came back, right!?
The old housekeeper didn't know what to say, but Zhang He himself realized that something should have happened.
So, under Zhang He's repeated emphasis, Zhang He finally understood why he was so quiet.
It turned out that after he was found by Fang Xu to go to the ancient temple, he didn't know who brought back the news that he had offended Murong Fu.
After hearing this, these servants immediately took their bags and left the Danyang County Guard's Mansion in fright.
I'm afraid that I will go slowly, and I will be surrounded by Murong Fu and others, and I won't be able to leave if I want to.
And the subordinates and maids left, which is also understandable, after all, they just collected their own money and did things, and there was no need to take their own lives.
But what makes Zhang He feel sad? It's those concubines of their own.
After learning that he had offended Murong Fu, he decisively chose to take away all the valuable ornaments, obviously betraying Zhang He.
Only Zhang He's wife did not choose to leave, which made Zhang He a little in a trance.
Could it be that Murong Fu is really so terrifying? No matter how you say it, it's also the county guard of Danyang! The head of a county!
But the reality was placed in front of Zhang He's eyes, so that Zhang He had to believe in the authenticity of these things.
Zhang He looked at the old housekeeper with some curiosity, as if he was asking why the old housekeeper didn't choose to leave here?!
The old housekeeper showed a look of vicissitudes, in the eyes of the old housekeeper, he himself was a dying person, and time was short.
If it weren't for Zhang He's reuse, I probably wouldn't know when I wouldn't be there.
So in the eyes of the old housekeeper, why do you care about your life and death?!
After hearing the old housekeeper's words, Zhang He showed a wry smile, and the bitter smile was mixed with ridicule of himself.
Isn't that so? I always thought that the people around me were reliable people.
As a result, after the incident happened, it turned out that he had not seen clearly what the essence of these people was.
Thinking of this, Zhang He felt as if his strength had been drained.
Zhang He couldn't help but ask the old housekeeper, what kind of person was he before?!
I don't know why, Zhang He now just wants to know what kind of person he was before, and what covered his eyes?!
After hearing Zhang He's inquiry, the old housekeeper showed a knowing smile on his face.
"In the past, the adult was a person who loved the people like a son and was close to the people like a friend, but I don't know when it started, and what adults saw in their eyes was more interests, and they forgot their hearts." The old butler said with a smile.
"Heart? What is the original intention of the official? Zhang He said to himself with blank eyes, but the old housekeeper didn't say anything.
After all, the old housekeeper understands that what Zhang He needs now is to be alone and quiet, and think about what his heart is.
