Chapter Twenty-Five: Blood Feud
I took a sip of water in the cup, moistened my lips, and continued:
"To avenge your child?"
The word child seemed to be like a hot dagger, stabbing into Xiang Qian's chest, he slowly raised his head, the corners of his eyes were bright red bloodshots, and the whole person seemed to be stunned, staring at Shui Moche in astonishment.
Although Xiang Qian still didn't answer her, his expression said it all.
"Because of the Yun family?"
As soon as Shui Mo Che finished saying these words, Xiang Qian pounced again and knelt down for Shui Mo Che. And this time, Shui Moche didn't let him get up again, just looked at him lightly.
"You've guessed right, I want to follow you, and indeed I want revenge. But it's not just the revenge of killing the son, it's also the revenge of the family's ruin. ”
Because of anger, Xiang Qian's cheeks turned red, and he could clearly see the green tendons jumping up in his neck. The clenched hands also turned red and white, and the whole body trembled with excitement, and even the voice trembled.
Later, under the cold gaze of Shui Moche, he told the past that had been sealed in his heart for a long time.
Xiang Qian was born in the Xiang family in the capital, and the family has been in business for generations. Although the Xiang family cannot be among the upper classes, it is also quite powerful in Ducheng.
Like most men, when Xiang Qian was in his twenties, he married a beautiful woman named Roland.
The original words of using the money are that he spent all his luck in his life on finding a daughter-in-law, but it was still not enough.
Xiang Qian is slightly chubby and not outstanding. Although the family background can be regarded as average, he can find a daughter-in-law like Luo Lan, who is like a flower, which is simply the protection of his ancestors.
After marriage, the husband and wife are also harmonious and beautiful. Xiang Qian once asked him how Roland could marry him on her terms, but she always smiled and didn't answer.
Xiang Qian felt that maybe his daughter-in-law was in distress and didn't want her to be unhappy because she remembered the past, anyway, the relationship between the two was very good, so don't say it, as long as Roland's heart is in him, it's fine. After that, it was not mentioned again.
Roland's temper is a rare force among women, and perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this is a shortcoming. But in the eyes of his wife's slave money, everything about his daughter-in-law is the best.
Less than a year after their marriage, Roland became pregnant. And Xiang Qian's business acumen has been recognized by the family and has been reused.
Everything is developing in a good way, which makes Xiang Qian full of expectations for his future life.
But it didn't take long for it to become an unattainable dream.
The nightmare began when his wife was almost eight months pregnant, and she went out to worship God.
Roland, who is about to become a mother for the first time, is very happy every day, her face is ruddy, and her original strong temperament has fallen silent, which has added a different style to her.
Because of the fifteenth year of integrity, there are many people who burn incense and worship God, so Roland refused to take a sedan chair. Xiang Qian was not allowed, but Roland said that as soon as he came, he walked to show his sincerity. Second, proper exercise for pregnant women will help give birth.
Xiang Qian was still not at ease, and wanted to accompany her. But Roland insisted on disagreeing and persuaded her husband. The competition for the position of patriarch has reached a critical period, and I don't want to cause trouble for him because of myself. If Xiang Qian can become the patriarch of the next generation, it will be very good for their mother and son.
Xiang Qian couldn't resist Roland, he loved his wife very much, and knew that his wife was stubborn. After thinking about it, the temple was not far from home, so I reluctantly agreed.
instructed the maid to serve well, and arranged for two guards to accompany him, repeatedly telling them to come back early. Everything was arranged, and then he hurriedly went about his own business.
He also wants to give their mother and son a more comfortable life.
But I never thought that this time of separation, when we say goodbye, heaven and man will be separated forever.
Xiang Qian had been unsettled that day, because he was worried about his wife and children, he hurriedly finished handling the affairs at hand, and hurried back home.
Thinking about his wife and children's money, he returned to the courtyard where he lived with his wife, and found that there was no one.
This next money was completely panicked, and stumbled along the way to the temple road to look for it.
It was long past the time to worship God, and there were few pedestrians on the road.
Xiang Qian asked if he had met a pregnant woman with a big belly, and passers-by saw Xiang Qian's lost soul, and they were all a little evasive, and they didn't know if they were scared by such Xiang Qian.
Finally on the way, Xiang Qian found a sachet that had been forgotten in the weeds.
The crappy technique and exaggerated color scheme, even if someone sees it, no one wants to pick it up for it.
But Xiang Qian knew that it was sewn by Roland himself.
She once said that she had always disliked female red, but wanted to embroider one for her unborn child. When the time comes, go to the temple and ask for a peace charm for the child to put in it to protect the child from growing up safely and healthily.
Xiang Qian picked up the sachet and searched all the way along the overwhelming weeds, and saw a scene that he would never forget.
The bodies of the first two guards were found, they had countless knife wounds on their bodies, and their bodies were covered with blood, and they had been dead for a long time.
With a heavy heart, I continued to look for my wife and children. On the way, I found the maid who had been dead for a long time. The clothes on her body had been torn and could not be covered. A pair of eyes were wide open, and they couldn't blink.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Qian didn't dare to imagine what his wife would be like.
He didn't dare to continue looking, he was afraid.
But what if my wife is still alive? Yes, she will be alive. Maybe the murderer will spare his wife's life for the sake of her pregnancy? Yes!
The footsteps that had been stumbling suddenly came to strength, and with the last illusion, he continued to look for his wife and children.
But fantasy is fantasy after all.
How could such a cruel murderer stop just because the other party was a pregnant woman?
When she found Roland, her clothes were disheveled, and her body was blue and purple. Blood was still sticking to his hair, sticking to Roland's once beautiful face.
The originally beautiful face, which had long been swollen, could not see a trace of its original appearance, a pair of blood-stained hands, with her legs that she was trying to curl up, tightly protected her high belly.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiang Qian could no longer suppress the grief and anger in his heart, two lines of blood and tears flowed from his eyes, helplessly knelt beside his wife and cried, with trembling hands, he brushed away the mess on her face, and kept begging to call his wife's name.
As if returning to the light, the woman used all her strength to slowly open her eyes.
exhausted the last bit of strength, and tried to open his mouth, but his breath was like a gossamer, and he couldn't make any sound in his throat at all.
But Xiang Qian still understood.
"Kids. ”
"Our children. ”
I don't know what kind of will Roland relied on, in order to protect the fetus in his womb, he insisted until Xiang Qian arrived.
Xiang Qian hurriedly picked up his wife and ran all the way back to the house.
