Chapter 69: Shadows
Bai Qiuchi summoned all the family members and maids and told them to stop listening to Steward Mo's words, and the other family members all went together to find the Second Lady, the Third Young Master and Steward Mo.
"The second lady is resting in the room." The maid who took care of the second lady said.
"Has she been all the time?"
"yes, I've been resting since I came back last night."
So then why did the twin sisters lie at the time?
"Brothers, please continue to look for the Third Young Master and Steward Mo." Bai Qiuchi nodded to Jin Xu and said, "Jin Xu, let's go over immediately!" β
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the courtyard of the second lady, there was a scene of decay. All the plants and trees she planted withered, and some of them were directly destroyed and scattered all over the ground. It wasn't like this in the morning, Bai Qiuchi gestured with his eyes to the brocade, there might be a situation.
Bai Qiuchi and Jin Xu hurriedly rushed in, and the twin sisters were still sitting in the hall, staring blankly ahead, their eyes blank.
"Sister Jinxu!" When they saw the brocade, they showed happy expressions.
"Nianci, Nian'an, let's find the second lady!" Jin Xu said.
"Mother isn't here." Hu Nianci said with an innocent face, "Didn't Bai Dao Chang already go to find it just now?" β
"Nianci, we know your mother is in the room." Jin Xu said.
"She ......" Hu Nianci was about to plead, but was interrupted.
"You can go." An eerie, muffled voice came.
The small figure of the third young master, Hu Yanping, appeared at the door, standing straight and not sitting in a wheelchair. And he was followed by Steward Mo, who was handcuffed by chains and moved slowly. His mouth was also sealed, and there were many scars on his body, and in some places the blood was not completely coagulated.
This......
Bai Qiuchi and Jinxu didn't even know how to react for a while.
Hu Nianan was also surprised, and said, "Ping'er, why did you lock up Uncle Mo?" Untie it! β
Hu Nianci was very calm, grabbed Hu Nian'an, and asked her not to go over to help.
"Steward Mo......" Jin Su wanted to step forward to help him untie the chain, but Mo Yinfeng himself shook his head.
Hu Yan turned around expressionlessly and walked towards the room of the second lady, Shu Xueyan.
Mo Yinfeng slowly followed him, and Hu Nianci pulled the somewhat timid Hu Nian'an forward. Bai Qiuchi and Jinxu glanced at each other and rushed to the second lady's room first.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last bit of soothing incense in the incense burner had burned out, and the smoke was rising, and the smell of fragrance still filled the air.
This quaint room is elegantly furnished, but the carefully cultivated flowers and plants in the room have also withered.
The second lady, Shu Xueyan, was lying on the bed, wearing plain white clothes, with her hands folded in front of her chest. Her face was serene, her face still had a ruddy glow, but her eyes were tightly closed and motionless.
"Second lady......" Jinxu tried to call her, but there was no response.
Bai Qiuchi rushed forward to investigate, she had no pulse, so she turned around and shook her head.
At this time, the other four people also came to the room.
"The second lady has passed away." Bai Qiuchi solemnly announced the bad news.
"Mother!" Hu Nianan couldn't believe it, suddenly broke free from her sister's hand, ran to the bed, and shook Shu Xueyan, her hand hanging down weakly.
"Motherβ" Hu Nianan screamed and cried bitterly.
Mo Yinfeng couldn't speak, he knelt down in pain, his hands that were chained were hammered to the ground, and the wounds of his hands that were originally scarred were cracked, and blood suddenly gushed out.
Hu Yanping and Hu Nianci looked at all this coldly.
Hu Yanping motioned to Hu Nianci to tear open the cloth that sealed Mo Yinfeng's mouth.
"Xue Yan......" Mo Yinfeng may have been extremely sad, or he had a premonition, not a single tear fell, and muttered, "Why are you so stupid......"
"You've all seen it, she committed suicide." Hu Nianci said coldly to Bai Qiuchi and Jinxu.
"Sister......" Hu Nianan suddenly felt that the sister in front of her was so strange, and she was not the sister who got along with her day and night, gentle and sensible.
It's obviously the same face, but the eyes of the two have become very different.
"Nianci, why did you become so cold-blooded?" Mo Yinfeng raised his head and looked at Hu Nianci with an incredible expression.
"You ask yourself first, aren't you cold-blooded when you do something?" Hu Nianci sneered.
"What the hell is going on?" Jin Fu couldn't help but ask.
"Hahahaha......" Hu Yanping, who had been silent, suddenly laughed wildly, his face so hideous that he didn't look like a child at all. And he is clearly a child, which makes it look even more weird.
It took him a moment before he stopped laughing. Slowly walked up to Mo Yinfeng and looked at him with a sneer.
He was very short, standing in front of Mo Yinfeng, shorter than Mo Yinfeng who was kneeling.
But his fierce eyes made him look very tall, and it was very difficult to approach or violate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Third Young Master, we can talk about anything slowly, can we let Steward Mo go first?" Bai Qiuchi was afraid that he would die again, so he tried to negotiate with Hu Yanping.
"Hehe, I'll give Bai Dao a long face." Hu Yanping spoke in ventriloquist again.
Anyway, it seems that Mo Yinfeng doesn't care about everything anymore, and he definitely won't run away.
Hu Nianci took the key that Hu Yanping threw into her hand with contempt, walked over and opened the lock on the chain. Jin Xu and Bai Qiuchi hurriedly walked over, helped Mo Yinfeng up, and let him sit on the stool.
Jin Su took out the treasure bag and wanted to stop the bleeding for him, but Mo Yinfeng shook his head and said, "Thank you, Jin Fu girl, but I don't think there is any need for this." β
"It's really not necessary." Hu Yanping jumped on the table all of a sudden, but this time he viciously squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth, "Because your death is not far away." β
"Ping'er, you ......" Hu Nianan looked very hit, this younger brother who often played with him looked not only strange, but also very terrifying.
Hu Yanping, who has been sitting in a wheelchair, is agile, and he can actually speak, the most terrifying thing is that he looks hideous and ruthless.
Jin Su hurriedly went over to hug Hu Nianan and comforted him.
"Before you die, you should also make your sins public." Hu Yanping stretched out his small hand and pointed at Mo Yinfeng with strength and said.
Although Bai Qiuchi had not spoken, he had been closely observing Hu Yanping and Hu Nianci's movements by the side, and if anything was wrong, he would immediately stop it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hahaha! It's been ten years, ten years! Do you know how I've survived these 10 years? Hu Yanping glared at Mo Yinfeng and roared angrily. His muscles were bulging, his voice was hoarse, and it made people feel heart-rending when they listened to it.
"Listen! Listen to my voice! Hu Yanping's voice was an octave higher, and it sounded even harsher, "It's all your fault!" β
"Ping'er, what's going on?" Hu Nianan was scared and distressed.
"My childhood, no, not childhood at all!" Hu Yanping shouted, "It's all your fault!" β
"Third Young Master, please calm down." Bai Qiuchi persuaded.
"Calm, calm, that's right, of course." Hu Yanping nodded, and said in a tough tone, "If you don't calm down, how can you accuse you of your crimes!" β
"I admit that I have done something wrong...... Mo Yinfeng said, "I have not done my ......"
"Shut up!" Hu Nianci sat not far away and warned Mo Yinfeng, "Ping'er hasn't let you speak yet!" β
"In the past ten years, I have not had a day of peace! For as long as I can remember, I've been someone who shouldn't exist.
That old woman who pretended to believe in Buddhism loved me on the surface and often asked me to accompany her, but in fact she just wanted to have fun by abusing me! When I was the youngest, she pricked my finger with a needle, and I couldn't speak and cry for help, but I only knew that it hurt, so I started crying, and she closed my mouth. Later, when I could speak, I threatened to cut my mouth if I cried again. She also fed me a lot of messy things, and although I couldn't eat them, they weren't human eats at all, so that she could appreciate my pained expression. I'm not as good as her cat! Her cat forced me to eat all the feces and urine she sprinkled, and if I didn't eat it, I would find someone to pour it in. Later, as I grew up, more and more torture came in handy. I don't believe you can see that I have a lot of cat scratches, whips, hot irons and so on. Seeing her kind looking face, I was scared at first, and then I wanted to vomit! β
When they heard what happened to Hu Yanping when he was a child, they all began to feel uncomfortable.
How can such a small body withstand these endless, endless physical and mental pain? is even more terrible than the second young master Hu Yanbin, it is still from his biological grandmother, and if he is an ordinary person, it is estimated that he will commit suicide.
"So, so many torture instruments in Your Excellency Bing's dark room belong to Old Madam Hu?" Bai Qiuchi asked.
"Bai Dao Chang has indeed been to that dark room." Hu Yanping was not very surprised, "The cat raised by the old lady never barks, but when she sees people suffering from torture, she will bark happily, so there are many people who cannot escape the clutches." Of course, it still likes to see my pain the most, and the more I suffer, the sweeter and cute it is. β
"Ping'er, I didn't know what you ...... before" Mo Yinfeng listened to him say this in a hoarse voice, with a look of self-blame and chagrin.
"Shut up!" Hu Nianci reminded again.
Hu Yanping looked at Mo Yinfeng's expression with great interest, and asked with a sneer: "Are you feeling sorry for me?" What are you upset about? Oh, I see, it's your beloved woman who died......"
"No, Ping'er, I'm ......"
"Shut up! If you interject again, you'll get a taste of cutting your tongue! Hu Nianci stood up with a "brush".
"Sister Nianci, you can sit and rest. I'm not done yet. Hu Yanping waved his hand at Hu Nianci, looked at Mo Yinfeng, and put his index finger against his lips to silence him.
"Yan Lingsha is also a cheap thing, I don't take good care of my children, I think about hooking up all day long, even when I am sick, I am left to my subordinates, and I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother. She dislikes me for being weak and sickly, and thinks that Hu Jianghai doesn't have me in his eyes, and she can't expect me to win any status, so she shouldn't have given birth to my son at all. When I was bullied and abused, and I cried to her, she didn't care about my life or death at all, and even said that she was annoyed by looking at me, and asked me why I didn't die. She also often threw me to the old woman herself, threatening me not to tell anyone. Later, they threw me directly into the dilapidated courtyard in the far north and left me to fend for myself. β
"Hu Jianghai's old thing dislikes me so much, and he has never looked at me squarely! While other siblings were studying and enjoying their childhood, I was alone in abuse and torture. While other siblings were accompanied by their fathers, I was lonely. While other siblings were cared for and protected by my father, I suffered inhuman pain silently and silently, and I was often awakened by nightmares even when I slept. I don't think he ever thought of me as a son in his heart, right? So what did he give birth to me for? β
"Is it my fault that I was born weak? Why look down on me? Do I deserve to be bullied? Now it's okay, the old woman is dead, her cat is dead, the old thing is dead, Yan Lingsha is dead, Shu Xueyan is also dead, and you Mo Yinfeng is also ready to die! β
Hu Yanping said in the end, and his tone slowly lost the initial anger. Perhaps, he has long wanted to talk to others about what happened to him, but there has been no channel to vent.
Mo Yinfeng's tears had already overflowed his eyes, and they kept falling, but he didn't dare to speak.
"But, Mother and Uncle Mo are very good to you, why did you kill them?" Hu Nianan cried and asked what they all wanted to know.
