Chapter 58: The Truth
On the evening of the third day, a drizzle fell in the air.
Li Hanchen stood behind her holding an umbrella for her, and seeing that her face was terrifyingly pale, he persuaded her softly: "Dusk, I think, let Chaoheng enter the ground as soon as possible." β
I didn't get a drop of water for three days, and my voice was already hoarse.
The girl nodded obediently this time, lowered her head, and reached out to gently caress the young man's cold cheeks: "Ah Heng, you go first, Sister Ah will come to you later, and we will go to see my mother together." β
Empty eyes turned to the rain-soaked tombstone, chapped lips oozing a trace of blood from speaking.
She said: "Mother, Du'er, this sister is not good, she didn't protect her brother well, and let him suffer a lot. After that, Twilight had no relatives and no home......"
Before the words fell, the dagger that was already in his hand was caught off guard and stabbed into the chest.
The bright red blood instantly stained the snow-colored clothing on the chest, and the delicately embroidered plum blossom pattern was moistened by the blood, making it even more lifelike.
"Twilight (cousin)!"
Li Hanchen grabbed her hand almost at the same time.
Fu Yanjing, who was guarding not far away, flew over.
Xu Chaodu's brain was now paralyzed, and he was groggy. The emaciated body was like a withered sorrel.
She looked at Li Hanchen and closed the last sentence in front of her: "...... me and my brother Buried next to his mother's grave. β
In the sky above Changxing Houfu, the clouds were shrouded and did not disperse for a long time.
At the dinner table, Yang looked at the cold food on the table, and then looked at Changxinghou's haggard appearance, and put down his chopsticks and stopped eating in anger.
Xu Tinglan felt the atmosphere depressed, and carefully persuaded: "Father, you should eat a little, don't starve." β
Chang Xinghou shook his head and said nothing.
"Lan'er, I'll bring food to your little brother later, he seems to be in a lot worse spirits these days." Yang said.
Xu Tinglan's face was full of worry: "The little brother has somehow not eaten a bite of the food sent these days. According to the servant, at night he cowered in the corner of the wall, as if he was afraid. β
Hearing this, Chang Xinghou suddenly raised his head and stared at Xu Tinglan, his face terrifying.
These days, I have been patronizing and forgetting about this strange matter.
How did Heng'er fall into the pond that night?
Even if he passed by the garden and wanted to go to the pond, he would not fall down because of the half-height stone fence, and he could not jump on his own.
Thinking about Xu Xiangyang's rhetoric at that time, Chang Xinghou seemed to be frozen.
Yang'er said he wouldn't drink water, and he lied.
At this moment, the words that the girl said that day rang in Changxinghou's ears.
"I don't believe that my brother died in an accident, if I find out that he has another cause of death, I will definitely share the sky with you Changxing Houfu, and I will never die."
"Husband, where are you going-"
Seeing Chang Xing waiting for his footsteps to leave in a hurry, although Yang didn't know where he was going, he hurriedly took Xu Tinglan to follow.
Knock Knock Knock β
There was a sharp and heavy knock on the door, and there was no movement in the back room.
Knock Knock Knock β
Knock Knock Knock β
After waiting for a long time, the door was opened.
Seeing Chang Xinghou's serious face, the timid Chen Rat couldn't help but shudder.
"Masterβ"
"Childe." Chang Xinghou asked in a deep voice.
There are some things that are safe and sound if you don't think about them, but when you think about them, infinite fear and sorrow will pour out.
If it was really Yang'er who killed Heng'er, what should he do!
If Du'er finds out the cause of Heng'er's death, she will definitely sue the government, and then she will be beheaded, and the good reputation of Changxing Houfu for many years will also collapse.
"Childe, Childe is resting......" Chen Rat hurriedly stepped aside and made way for Changxing.
Chang Xinghou strode into the house, and at a glance he saw his haggard son on the bed.
It's only been a few days, and the personable son has become like this, saying that he is sad about Heng'er's death, he never believes it.
He always knew that the Yang family and their children did not want to see the Du'er siblings.
When things are abnormal, there must be demons.
"Close the door!"
Chang Xing waited for a roar, and Chen Rat hurriedly closed the door with bated breath.
He took three steps and made two steps to the front of the couch and grabbed Xu Xiangyang up, and asked sharply: "Does Heng'er's death have anything to do with you!?" β
He didn't want to treat his son like this, but if he didn't ask at this moment, he wouldn't say it.
Yang couldn't hear it, and hurriedly stepped forward to mediate: "Husband, what are you talking about, what does this have to do with Yang'er?" Hurry up and put him down, didn't you see that our son was so frightened by you that his face turned white? β
Chang Xinghou turned a deaf ear to Yang's words and waited for Xu Xiangyang to reply.
For the first time, Xu Xiangyang saw his amiable father with such an expression as if he was about to eat people, and shook his head vigorously to deny: "I didn't ...... It has nothing to do with me...... I didn't kill him......"
"Don't tell the truth yet, my father will take you to the government immediately!" Chang Xinghou lifted him out of bed and walked out.
"I don't go to the government, I say I ......"
When it came to the word government, Xu Xiangyang was extremely frightened.
Yang hurriedly stepped forward and pushed Chang Xinghou away, and roared angrily: "Are you trying to kill Yang'er?" What does Xu Chaoheng's death have to do with him, you have to force him to admit it! Isn't it enough for you to kill one son, but to force another to die!? β
Chang Xinghou looked at the Yang family, hated iron and said: "Only by asking what happened can we protect Yang'er, if you protect him like this, he will be killed by you sooner or later!" β
Chang Xinghou ignored the Yang family after speaking, looked at his son who was cowering on the ground due to fear, and said sharply: "Don't say it yet!" β
Xu Xiangyang hid behind Yang and told last night's events intermittently.
When the last word was finished, Chang Xinghou calmed down, but Yang and Xu Tinglan couldn't believe it.
Xu Tinglan dragged her skirt and squatted on the smooth floor, wrapped her hands around the young man's trembling shoulders and asked in a trembling voice, "You...... How can you kill people...... How can you kill! β
She didn't want to see Xu Chaodu's two sisters and brothers, but she never thought of killing them, his bastard brother actually killed someone, it was a human life!
There was a dead silence in the room.
Yang Shi slowed down for a while before coming back to his senses, and saw Chang Xinghou staring at his son who was holding her leg tightly behind him without saying a word, and was very afraid that he would send his son to the government in excitement. That's going to be beheaded!
"Husband, ......" Yang cried and pounced: "The person is gone, even if you send Yang'er to the government, you can't make up for it." Yang'er is still young and ignorant, you can forgive him this time, I will definitely discipline him well in the future......"
Chang Xinghou still didn't say a word.
Seeing that he didn't move, Yang continued to cry: "You have lost a son, you can't lose the only one anymore......"
Chang Xinghou was silent for a long time, and sighed extremely heavily.
Madame was right, he had already lost one son, and could not lose another under any circumstances.
"This matter, no matter what, you can't let the sixth person know, you must keep the news tight."
After speaking, he told Xu Xiangyang: "You must behave as usual from now on, do whatever you have to do, and never show anything unusual, especially in front of your sister." In addition, after drinking and spitting out the truth, you must never drink again in this life, and you will not go to hang out with your friends, and after this limelight, your father will send you to live at your cousin's house for a few years, and clear your heart. β
Xu Xiangyang nodded hurriedly.
Now his only wish is to get out of this horrible place as soon as possible, and he will not be beheaded!
Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and proposed: "During this time, you don't have to go out again, stay at home." β
Chang Xinghou turned his head to look at the little servant hiding in the corner of the door, and asked lightly, "You were with Gongzi last night?" β
Chen Rat hurriedly lowered his head, eager to squeeze himself into the wall, and replied in a trembling voice: "Yes...... It's ......"
