"I don't understand why she did this."

Xing Ruyi held his chin and set his eyes on a dried fruit. The dried fruit, with a small crack, revealed the seemingly delicious flesh inside.

"At first, I couldn't figure it out. The two masters and servants seemed to have a good relationship in the past, and all the people in the house who knew about it also said that Miss Qin was very good to Bi Tao, even if Bi Tao made a mistake and Master Qin reprimanded her, she couldn't help but jump out to defend it. It is said that the most unlikely thing for the Qin family to attack the young lady is the maid Bi Tao, but in the end, she is the murderer. ”

"People's hearts are unpredictable, people's hearts are unpredictable."

Xing Ruyi picked up the dried fruit that he had been looking at for a long time, and with a slight force on his fingers, the opening became a little bigger.

"It's not that people's hearts are unpredictable, but that they're blinded by hatred."

Liu Sheng walked in at some point, and nodded lightly at Shangxing Ruyi and the fox, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Hate? Looks like you know a little more than Lin Hu. ”

"It's a long story at this point." Yanagi placed his saber on the table.

"Let's make a long story short." Xing Ruyi picked up a new cup, filled it with water, and pushed it in front of Liu Sheng.

His face was tired, and his body was still covered with sand and the smell of Buddha incense, and he looked like he had just returned from somewhere outside the city. In the past few days that Lin Hu was tossing in the Qin family, Liu Sheng should have gone somewhere and found out something related to Bi Tao. What made Xing Ruyi wonder was how Liu Sheng, with so many suspicious people in the Qin family, locked his eyes on a personal maid.

"If you want to talk about Bi Tao, you have to start from more than ten years ago. At that time, the old man of the Qin family had not yet purchased such a family business, and he was still a businessman who traveled south and north, relying on a pair of legs and a mouth to make a living.

When you go out, you will inevitably encounter times when things don't go well. In the autumn of that year, the old man of the Qin family suffered the biggest rainstorm in his life. He was stuck in the road, and in desperation, he had to take refuge in a mountain temple that was ventilated everywhere. This avoidance is seven days. Finally waited for the rain to stop, and the old man of the Qin family, who had just walked out of the mountain temple, fell to the ground due to the erosion of the wind and cold.

A hunter who went up the mountain to pick up prey after the rain resisted the old man of the Qin family to the bottom of the mountain and handed it over to his wife to take care of.

When the old man of the Qin family woke up again, he found himself lying in a farmhouse with a young woman next to him. The woman looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with long black hair, wrapped in a cloth with white flowers on a blue background. Between the buns, half of a wood-carved hairpin is revealed. Although the woman's skin was not as delicate and fair as those women and ladies in the city, her facial features were exquisite, and the shyness between her eyebrows made her look a little more moving. In the woman's hand, she also held a bowl of steaming decoction.

The old man of the Qin family was stunned for a while.

It is said that when people are sick, they are extremely vulnerable, and it is also extremely easy to have a good impression of the person who takes care of them. What's more, the woman in front of her is quite beautiful.

The old man of the Qin family was sick from autumn to early winter, and the young woman took care of him all the time. From the woman's mouth, the old man of the Qin family learned that he was resisted by the woman's husband from the mountain. As for this woman's husband, he is just a man who is five big and three coarse, simple-minded, and even a little stupid.

On the one hand, there is a young woman with a seductive posture and a beautiful appearance, and on the other hand, there is a rude man who is unkempt, sloppy and even a little silly, and the old man of the Qin family actually feels pity for himself. After he recovered, he wanted to take her away on the pretext of finding a livelihood for the young woman in the city. ”

"Looking for a livelihood? In my opinion, this Qin family master has a mind that should not be born. ”

"Not bad! The old man of the Qin family did have a different mind at that time. His original wife, Qin Shuyao's biological mother, died of illness shortly after giving birth to Qin Shuyao. The widow and young daughter have lived a few years of hard life together, and because of this, the old man of the Qin family will love this daughter very much. In the early years, life was sad, and the old man of the Qin family did not have the time to think about the continuation of the string. It wasn't until he met the young woman that he moved his mind. It's just that this time he moved his crooked heart. ”

"The young woman must have rejected him."

"Marriage is like drinking water, knowing its own warmth and coldness. In the eyes of outsiders, the young and beautiful wife is committed to a five-year-old hunter, and there must be her own unavoidable reasons. But I didn't know that they were Qin Se and Ming, and their feelings were very good. After the old man of the Qin family made an invitation, the woman shook her head and smiled, indifferently refusing.

But this old man Qin didn't think so by himself, he didn't think that his idea was inappropriate, but thought that the young woman was too embarrassed to leave the hunter because of his face, or he was afraid of criticism, so he didn't dare to agree. So he secretly planned and did a lot of things that lacked morality. ”

"Didn't this old man of the Qin family bully this young woman, and by the way, he also snatched the family back to Yong'an City, right?"

"Snatching a wife is going to be brought to court, even if this Qin family master had this intention at that time, he didn't dare to do it openly." Lin Hu interjected, threw the dried fruit up, and opened his mouth to catch it. After the dried fruit fell into his mouth, he realized that it was a piece that had not yet peeled off the shell, so he quickly turned around and quietly spit it out.

"The old man of the Qin family did not rob openly, but secretly bribed several leather dealers and deceived the woman's husband on the pretext of buying leather goods. He never came back. I heard that when I was sailing on the river, I accidentally fell into the water and drowned. The woman did not even see the body of her husband, except for one thing she had with her. ”

"Intentional murder?"

"After Orion's death, the fur dealers disappeared without a trace. There is no one alive, no corpse is dead, and there is no ironclad evidence, this matter has also become an unsolved case, which has not been solved so far. ”

"After talking for a long time, what about Bi Tao? What does the past more than ten years ago have to do with Bitao? ”

"That young woman is Bi Tao's mother, who was deceived by the old man of the Qin family, and the unknown hunter is Bi Tao's father. When Bi Tao's father was tricked out, her mother had just had her, and she didn't even have time to tell her husband about the happy event, and her husband disappeared. ”

"In other words, this was originally a good family, but because of his kindness to save the Qin family, the master was torn apart." Xing Ruyi pinched a dried fruit hard: "What is this called?" Bite the hand that feeds one. ”

"When her husband disappears for no reason, and no one is alive or dead, the young woman will naturally ask someone to inquire about it. Coupled with the Qin family's troubled past, the woman easily linked this matter to the Qin family's master. In order to find her husband's whereabouts, the woman had no choice but to pretend to be gentle and lie to the old man of the Qin family to confide in the truth after drinking. ”

"It's really hard for this woman. And after that, what did she do? ”

"She didn't do anything. She originally wanted to report to the government, but she was a weak woman, how could she make the government believe what she said. The old man of the Qin family admitted it, but he admitted it after being drunk, and once he sobered up, he was bound to turn back. She also thought about avenging her husband by slashing the master of the Qin family. But what about the child in the womb? That was the only concern her husband had left her. After thinking about it, she had to drink and hate it, and buried it in her heart. ”

"This woman will have a very difficult time in the future."

"The life of orphans and widows is naturally sad, and besides, after giving birth to Bi Tao, the young woman's body is not as good as day by day, and she can barely hold on until Bi Tao vaguely remembers, and she can no longer hold on. When she was dying, she told her daughter all these things, lest she would not remember the enemy when she was young, and invited a gentleman to come over and write down the matter, and embroidered them one by one on the clothes that her daughter was wearing. Subsequently, he asked a relative of the same clan to bring Bi Tao to the Qin family, falsely claiming that his own girl could not afford to raise it, and sold it to the Qin family as a slave. ”

"For revenge, she sold her own daughter to the enemy's family as a slave, and this mother's heart is ruthless enough."

"I think this is a mother's last choice." Liu Sheng shook his head disapprovingly: "Originally, she was an orphan and a widow, once she left, who should she entrust her young children to?" Although relatives of the same clan and clan can be relied on, they can only rely on it for a while, but they can't rely on it for a lifetime. Instead of entrusting the child to a clan relative who is also poor, it is better to send her to the Qin family, so that she can not only have no worries about food and clothing, but also wait for the opportunity to avenge her husband. ”

"Listening to you say that, there is some truth to it. Can a child who is so young remember so many things? ”

"If there is only one Bi Tao, I may not be able to remember, but the Qin family is not the only one Bi Tao."

"Who else?"

"Mama Qin."

"Mama Qin! Qin Chuan's mother. ”

"Not bad! Mama Qin is Orion's sister, and she is also the young woman's eldest sister, Bi Tao's aunt. In the early years, she married into a family surnamed Qin, and this family happened to have some distant relatives with the master of the Qin family. Soon after Bi Tao entered the Qin family, Mama Qin entrusted her relationship and took her son into the house together. Obviously, she was a slave in the house and raised her son by the way, but in private, she was also the only blood left behind to take care of her younger brother. ”

"The affairs of the Qin family seem to be getting more and more complicated."

"It's a lot of things to say, but if you think about it, it's not complicated. Mama Qin is Bi Tao's aunt, Qin Chuan is Bi Tao's cousin, and the three of them entered the Qin family one after the other, with the purpose of avenging the dead Orion. Their original target should have been the master of the Qin family, but seeing that the Qin family had no queen, and the master of the Qin family favored Miss Qin, they shifted the target. The initial poisons should have been given by Mama Qin, and they had nothing to do with the current Mrs. Qin. ”

"Doesn't it matter?"

"If it was Mrs. Qin's poison, why did she rack her brains to promote that marriage. She is Mrs. Qin, the head of the Qin family, once Qin Shuyao is poisoned and dies, no matter whether she gives birth to an heir or not, after a hundred years of Master Qin, she will be the only master of the Qin family. With this family property at her fingertips, why did she need to pull in an outsider to divide it. ”

"Qin Chuan seems to have said that the old man of the Qin family also has a child born in the outer room."
