Chapter Ninety-Eight: Suicide

Zhong Shunhua said angrily: "Why are you still speaking for that wild seed now? This is what he told Xi'er personally, can there be a fake? ”

Gu Wei said angrily: "I don't know what ecstasy soup that woman poured into Ziting?" so that he couldn't even care about Xi'er. No, I'll have to ask him! ”

Saying that, Gu Weiqing walked out of the room and went straight to Qing Ziting's mansion. As soon as he arrived at the street in front of his house, Gu Weiqing saw him standing at the door talking to the people in a car from a distance, and when he approached, their words were finished, and the car passed by his car, and he saw that the person in the back seat of the car was Bai Qiaoxuan.

Gu Weiqing thought that he had seen it wrong, and stared at him for a long time, but no matter how long he watched, there was no doubt that that person was Lu Xi's husband Bai Qiaoxuan. Didn't Ziting know about Tong Yuqing and Bai Qiaoxuan? Aren't they rivals in love? So what can the two of them say with their chirping at the door? They don't look like enemies......

A series of questions made Gu Weiqing's heart suddenly suspicious, and he couldn't help but put the car in front of Qing Ziting's car, causing the driver to slam on the brakes. Qing Ziting was also startled, and after he saw the person who came, he shouted, "What are you doing?" Robbery in broad daylight? ”

Gu Weiqing walked to his car door and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm robbing, why don't you get out of the car quickly?" ”

Qing Ziting said: "I'm in a hurry to pay my wife's birthday, if you don't go to pay your birthday, what are you doing here with me?" ”

Gu Weiqing said with a smile: "After so many years, which of her eyes does she have you?" You go or not, go early and go late, if she wants to find fault, she can find it. I came to you in a hurry, which is more important? ”

Qing Ziting had no choice but to get out of the car and lead him into the house, poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Why are you here for a long time?" ”

Gu Weiqing's face was still gloomy, "Tell me honestly!" You, Tong Yuqing, Xi'er and Bai Qiaoxuan, what's going on with the four of you? ”

Qing Ziting's hand froze, "What did Madame tell you?" ”

Gu Weiqing said in a deep voice: "Yes." But I think she's going to add fuel to you, so I came to ask you personally. ”

Qing Ziting said lightly: "She shouldn't have added fuel to the vinegar this time, and I don't want to defend myself, because no matter whether I have blocked it or not, and how many obstacles I have done, I have not been able to stop Xi'er in the end." So they blame me and blame me, and they deserve it. ”

Gu Weiqing still couldn't understand him, "You can obviously tell Xi'er the truth." You know, as long as you tell her the truth, she won't be stupid enough to marry someone who takes advantage of her. ”

Qing Ziting smiled bitterly: "When I tell Xi'er, it is equivalent to telling Mrs. and Father." Do you think with the temperament of the two of them, which one of them will let Bai Qiaoxuan go? If they don't let go of Bai Qiaoxuan, it means that they don't let go of Ruoxuan, she has just experienced the pain of bereavement, do I still want her to suffer the pain of losing love? No matter how strong a person is, he can't help but have a wave of uneven and wave of blows, right? ”

Gu Weiqing asked rhetorically: "You can't bear to hurt Tong Yuqing, so you can't bear to watch your sister get hurt?" Ziting, you weren't like this before, no one loves Xi'er more than you, but you don't care about your sister's lifelong happiness for the sake of a woman! What kind of ecstasy soup did Tong Yuqing pour into you, so that you were so desperate for her, and even your rival in love, you tried your best to protect it? In my opinion, she is not simple, she is not kind, and she is ruthless, how can you fall in love with such a woman? ”

Qing Ziting covered his face with his hand, and said after a while: "I don't know...... All I know is that from the first time I saw her, I felt that she was the same person as me. Even though a lot of unexpected things happened later, I still thought so. ”

Gu Weiqing waved his hand and said, "If you don't tell me those words that I don't understand, in my opinion, you are two people who are in opposite directions and can't beat the eight poles." ”

Qing Ziting said with a smile: "I can fight, but I can't, we are all husband and wife now." Whatever happens, I will take it on with her. ”

Gu Weiqing asked again: "Then what are you going to do in the future?" When I came here just now, I saw that you and that Bai Qiaoxuan were talking at the door, what were you discussing? ”

Qing Ziting sighed: "To be honest, this marriage between him and Xi'er is all fine except for the fact that the cause is a bit bad. In the past year, he has been getting along with Xi'er day and night, and he doesn't have any true feelings for Xi'er. So when he and I rescue Ruo Yuan, I will take Ruo Liang out of Jindu and return to Yaochen Island, away from the rights and wrongs here, and also give him and Xi'er a chance to reunite. ”

Gu Weiqing didn't know how to put the true and false feelings between them, so he could only choose a direct question and ask: "Rescue Tong Yuqing?" What happened to her? ”

Qing Ziting curled up again, and there was tiredness in her voice that was difficult to hide, "She was taken away by Madame yesterday, and until now, she has disappeared." ”

Gu Weiqing slapped the table, "I don't think it's possible to give up with Zhong Shunhua's temperament." It's good that these two women are not fuel-efficient lamps, so let them eat dogs. ”

As soon as Gu Weiqing's words came out, he saw Qing Ziting's gloomy gaze, and couldn't help but say angrily: "I said what are you looking at me like this?" You don't want me to help you save that woman, do you? I'm telling you, no way! She has plagued my brother and my sister, and I wish she had died at the hands of that dominatrix. ”

Qing Ziting wanted to ask again, but Gu Weiqing said impatiently: "No matter how much you ask this time, I won't interfere in her affairs." But you don't have to worry too much, Aunt Lu has always been the most face-conscious, today is her fiftieth birthday, she shouldn't be too much, no matter what, she will let Tong Yuqing come out to meet everyone and make a show. Then you should be able to meet the person you've been thinking about for a long time. ”

Qing Ziting's eyes lit up at the thought of seeing Tong Yuqing soon, and she hurriedly pulled Gu Weiqing, who looked helpless, to the Overseer's Mansion......

The birthday banquet was placed in the living room and the second courtyard, and the two clans of Lu Zhong lived in the living room, and the other guests were in the courtyard. In previous years, Zhong Shunhua would be very happy to see everyone bowing their heads to celebrate their birthdays, but this year because of her daughter's misfortune, she really couldn't be happy. So when she was celebrating her daughter and son-in-law's birthday, she deliberately asked Bai Qiaoxuan to kneel for a long time, and said a lot of insinuating words. When Qing Ziting and Tong Yuqing paid their respects, she didn't even bother to say a perfunctory word, Bai Qiaoxuan didn't even raise her eyelids when she saw this, and Lu Tiansheng didn't say anything for the first time, and they knelt all the time.

It was Zhong Shubo who broke the silence for a long time and said to Zhong Shunhua: "Shunhua, let the two children get up." ”

Zhong Shunhua gave up and acquiesced to their getting up. Tong Yuqing's gunshot wound has not healed, and she was tortured again yesterday, but today she only knelt for less than a quarter of an hour, and her body was a little unstable, so she could only be carried back to her seat step by step by Qing Ziting. Zhong Shunhua and Lu Xi subconsciously looked at Bai Qiaoxuan, and when they saw that he had no reaction, they were a little relieved.

After the people in the hall celebrated their birthdays, the people in the courtyard began to come to toast one after another with wine glasses, Zhong Shunhua looked at Xi Yiqian's three children, Weiqing is twenty-seven years old this year, and there is still no serious woman around; Wei Wei married his personal maid as his wife, and although Yiqian was not very satisfied, he did not object; The youngest daughter, Wei Yan, wants to travel far to study, and the husband she chooses is not from a big family. Zhong Shunhua couldn't help but sigh secretly, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes.

Zhong Shunhua looked at them and was depressed, and it was easy to think of what happened to his daughter, and his hatred for Qing Ziting and Tong Yuqing added another point.

Zhong Shunhua said: "Xiang'er, if you are alone in the future, you have to keep your eyes open when you know people and distinguish people, your parents can help you distinguish one or two when you are around, your parents are not by your side, you have to take care of everything, don't be deceived by those with ulterior motives, and no one will feel sorry for you at that time." ”

Lucy clenched his fists and took a deep breath to maintain his apparent calm. Compared with her, Bai Qiaoxuan was like a piece of wood without hearing, still like Fang Cai, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, sitting quietly.

Zhong Shunhua didn't seem to see Xi Yiqian's admonishing gaze, and continued: "Of course, don't rely on your family background to be overbearing, you must know that out of Puxizhou and Ningtai, the power of the Gu family will not be able to protect you, if you do something immoral and unethical, someone will still come to clean you up." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Xi Yiqian, but even Gu Weiqing and Gu Weiwei's faces changed. Gu Weiyan's face turned red, but she was innocent and couldn't hear it at all, Zhong Shunhua didn't say it to her at all, she replied in a low voice: "Aunt's words, remember it." ”

Zhong Shunhua still ignored the persuasion in the eyes of Xi Yiqian and others, she looked at Tong Yuqing and asked, "Yuqing, do you think what I said is right?" ”

Tong Yuqing bowed her head respectfully, hid the emotions in her eyes, and replied loudly: "What Madame said is very true. ”

Zhong Shunhua smiled and nodded, "It's rare, I didn't expect that a woman who had an affair with someone before marriage could give birth to such a sensible daughter." But I think it's also the same, the Tong family is a century-old family in Pudong, and it should be able to make people reborn and force prostitution to be good. ”

Tong Yuqing's eyes were surging, she raised her head and looked directly at Zhong Shunhua, if her current eyes could be turned into a sharp sword, then the sword qi could shatter Zhong Shunhua's body into ten thousand pieces, she asked coldly, "What did Madam say?" ”

Zhong Shunhua pretended to be very surprised, "Don't you know?" Oh...... That's right, too. In order to protect the reputation of himself and the Tong family, Lord Ling Zun is indeed very likely to suffer this dumb loss and not spread the scandal of Ling Tang......"

Before Zhong Shunhua finished speaking, a hurricane instantly blew towards the main seat of the living room, and before everyone could react, a figure had already been blown onto the mural behind the main seat.

After a loud "bang", the whole world was quiet for a moment, and then it was like boiling water, which should be run, sighed, and talked about and talked about......

Poor Zhong Shunhua, the hall is full of relatives and friends, only Rong Hui, a slave, has both the courage and the willingness to help her up.

Except for Lu Tiansheng and Bai Qiaoxuan, only Tong Yuqing, who caused trouble, was still as calm as before the incident, she stared at Zhong Shunhua like a dead person, and said coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that I had promised Ziting and Uncle Gu, I would endure everything if I could, and let you have three points, your life would have been gone." Saying that, Tong Yuqing looked around and said slowly: "Very good, everyone who should be there is here." I'm going to say what I need to say today. No matter whether I still have authority in my hands or not, as long as I still have a breath, I will not allow anyone to hurt my Tong clan and insult my Tong clan ancestors. If there is a violator, it will be like this. ”

Zhong Shunhua's wooden chopsticks broke in response, Tong Yuqing threw the discarded wooden chopsticks at Zhong Shunhua's feet, and then said to Lu Tiansheng: "Father, Yuqing hurt the housewife, and invited herself to the ancestral hall to kneel for three days. ”

Lu Tiansheng bowed, Tong Yuqing turned around and left, and Qing Ziting hurriedly left with her. Lu Tiansheng glanced at the injured Zhong Shunhua, sneered and left safely. Zhong Shubo glanced at his sister lukewarmly, and also left with Lu Tiansheng. Lu Jingwu didn't even look at his mother, he picked up Zhong Wanlu and walked out. Xi Yiqian was angry that she made a fuss about her, and she didn't pay attention to her and walked away. Gu Weiyan wanted to go forward to check Zhong Shunhua's injuries, but was dragged away by his eldest brother. After a while, there were only Lu Xi, Bai Qiaoxuan and Zhong Shunhua left in the hall.

Bai Qiaoxuan walked up to Zhong Shunhua and squatted down, arranged a few cushions in a row, and said softly: "If mother is uncomfortable, lie down first." It will take a while for Aunt Hui to go to the doctor. ”

Zhong Shunhua vigorously pushed him to the ground, of course, with Bai Qiaoxuan's cooperation, but Lu Xi didn't know, his knee-jerk reaction was to help him up, Zhong Shunhua cried and scolded: "It's all this time, you still take care of him!" Something without conscience, if your mother wasn't for you, would you lose face in front of so many people if you were hurt like this?! ”

Lu Xi sighed and stepped forward to help her breathe, "In the future, my mother won't worry about me, I won't run away anymore, I will deal with these things myself, and I will take revenge myself." ”

Saying that, Lu Xi was about to help Zhong Shunhua go back to the room to rest, but Bai Qiaoxuan stopped her, "Xi'er......"

Lu Xi said lightly: "You don't have to say anything, allowing you to enter the mansion today doesn't mean that I want to see you, but my mother's birthday banquet, and if you don't attend, it will cause people to be suspicious." But now because of your good Yuqing, it doesn't matter whether you provoke suspicion or not. Mother has done everything for you, if you are satisfied, go back and steal the fun yourself, don't swagger in front of me. ”

"Xi'er, you misunderstood......"

Luci didn't want to hear him at all now, and she shouted, "Someone! Send my uncle, oh no, send Young Master Bai home. ”

In any case, Bai Qiaoxuan really wanted to save Lu Xi, so he could only go home first and give Lu Xi some time to think about it......

Qing Ziting followed Tong Yuqing to the ancestral hall and said: "Ruojia, my father and Mrs. didn't send anyone to follow us, don't kneel, tell me quickly, what did Mrs. say when she invited you to the house yesterday?" I heard that you were beaten by her twenty boards, you go home with me, and I will ask Mo Fen to heal you, or you will have a scar on your back. ”

Tong Yuqing shook her head, "Since I spared her life, we must face up to the fact that she is the mother of the Lu family." Otherwise, in the future, Uncle Gu will lose her anger and blame me for being arrogant and domineering, and I don't know how to advance or retreat. I don't want to lose such a good help from the Gu family. ”

"You...... What do you mean......"

Tong Yuqing narrowed her eyes and said, "Ziting, why do you think your father would be so happy to accept our marriage in the first place?" If it weren't for the great benefit to him, how could he have agreed, or even forced me to marry you? In addition to fulfilling your mind and taking down Pu Dong and Tong Baiyi, there is another reason, he hopes that I can be by your side to help you succeed, or rather, he hopes that I can help him deal with Zhong Shunhua. This is also the reason why he saw us being wronged today but didn't say a word, he just wanted Zhong Shunhua to constantly challenge my bottom line and force me to the point where there was no way back, so that I would spare no effort to help him get rid of Zhong Shunhua. ”

Qing Ziting's lips were one by one, but he didn't know what to say, and after a while, he said: "Ruojia, since you ...... Knowing his father's mind, why do you want to help him? Wouldn't it be good for us to leave Jindu together and return to Yaochen Island? Why do you have to get involved in the rights and wrongs of Jindu......"

Tong Yuqing held Qing Ziting's hand and tried to soothe his emotions, "Ziting, you shouldn't ask me why I got involved in this war, because since you were born, you have been in this whirlpool, not just today. There is no other way you can change your fate than to struggle hard. Do you think that as long as we hide on your island, Zhong Shunhua will let us go? This is impossible, we have a deep grudge with her, and we must die and cannot be resolved. Either she dies or I die. I'm sure that as long as Lu Jingwu ascends to the position of overseer, Zhong Shunhua will not torture us like a cat and mouse, and he will already be enkuan. ”

Qing Ziting was still at a loss, "That'...... So what are you going to do...... Do you really want to bring down the eldest brother and the lady? ”

Tong Yuqing sorted out the situation in front of her and said slowly: "Your eldest brother can live, but Zhong Shunhua must die." We can still return to the island, but before we return to the island, I will hand over all the forces that the Tong clan can unite to Qiao Xuan. He will help us clear all obstacles. At least among those who have seized power, only if he has power and power, he will definitely not take our lives. ”

Qing Ziting has never known how to deal with these disputes, and there is no other way than to believe in Tong Yuqing. He nodded carelessly, and remembered Tong Yuqing's injury again, "If you don't want to go back to the house for treatment, I'll ask Mo Fen to come here." ”

Tong Yuqing knew that if no one took care of her injuries, Qing Ziting would not be able to go back to her home to rest with peace of mind, so she agreed. In the past three days, in addition to Mo Fen, Qing Ziting and Tong Yuhao have also taken turns to visit Tong Yuqing in the ancestral hall. Although Tong Yuqing's body did not heal so quickly, the satisfaction in her heart made her almost unable to feel the pain of her body.

Three days later, in the evening, Tong Yuqing was about to leave the ancestral hall with the support of Qing Ziting and Tong Yuhao, when she saw Rong Hui, "Second young master, second young grandmother, the master ordered me to invite the two of you back to the house." ”

Qing Ziting heard that his father asked them to go home, and he was relieved, but Tong Yuqing's heart increased a little because of this. No matter what, none of them could ignore Lu Tiansheng's words, so they could only return to the house with Rong Hui.

As Tong Yuqing expected, Bai Qiaoxuan was also in the main room, and Lu Tiansheng was definitely going to deal with the matter between them today.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lu Tiansheng said loudly: "Today, Mrs. told me something about you, what is it, you should know it, do you have anything else to defend?" ”

As soon as Qing Ziting wanted to open her mouth to plead, she was pulled back by Tong Yuqing, she knelt on the ground and said, "Father, Qiao Xuan and I do have a personal affair, and we have been hiding it from you and my husband......"

Before Tong Yuqing finished speaking, she was interrupted by Qing Ziting, "No! Father, after finding out Ruoji's identity, I knew that the matter between her and Qiao Xuan was deceived by my selfishness and hurt Xi'er, so I asked my father to confess. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan also knelt down, "Father, I coveted the second sister-in-law, and the second brother and the second sister-in-law didn't know anything beforehand......"

Lu Tiansheng slapped the table, "Shut up!" What are the facts, will I not know? How much talk you guys have here?! I've already found out, it's you who coveted Yuqing first, deceived Xi'er later, you didn't know anything beforehand, what responsibility is there here?! Come! Drag this disciple out of me and hit the 200 boards! ”

Qing Ziting kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy, "Father, please be merciful, two hundred boards, will cost Qiao Xuan's life......"

Tong Yuqing stroked Qing Ziting's shoulder and shook his head at him, Qing Ziting asked in a low voice, "Ruoxiao, you really don't care about ......"

Tong Yuqing shook her head again, Qing Ziting didn't understand what Tong Yuqing meant, but he knew that she couldn't harm Bai Qiaoxuan, so he could only listen to her admonition for the time being and stop pleading.

Bai Qiaoxuan was stripped of his shirt and tied to the bench, and as soon as the family picked up the five-foot-five-inch long bamboo board, he was stopped by a sharp female voice: "Stop!" ”

Lu Xi's hair was messy, his steps were fragmented, and he trotted all the way to Lu Tiansheng, and the cloak was obviously put on in a hurry, "Father, although Qiao Xuan is at fault, his sin is not to death, two hundred boards, he can't afford it." ”

Lu Tiansheng seemed very strange, "Xi'er, didn't you say that no matter what your father does, you won't ask again?" Why did you come to him again to intercede with him now? ”

Lu Xi's face was red and white for a while, and he didn't say anything useful for a long time, and finally just kept kowtowing, "Ask my father for mercy......

Lu Tiansheng nodded reluctantly.

Qing Ziting then understood why Tong Yuqing didn't let him intercede with Bai Qiaoxuan, it turned out that she left this matter to Lu Xi. Luci's plea makes more sense than anyone else's plea, because she is the victim. She, the victim, didn't want to hold Bai Qiaoxuan accountable, and the others had no reason to say anything. Qing Ziting also understood that his father didn't really want to punish them, but Zhong Shunhua was forced in front of him, and he couldn't help but come out.

Zhong Shunhua saw that her daughter was not angry and walked away, and sure enough, after she left, Lu Tiansheng asked Bai Qiaoxuan and Lu Xi to stand up and said, "Xi'er, you go back to the room first......"
