As soon as his father-in-law left, Yan Luoshui also woke up.

She propped up her big belly: "I heard Abba's voice. ”

"It's my father-in-law here." Gu Qingzhou said, "Fifth brother called him." ”

Yan Luoshui looked ashamed: "Xiao Wu is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose!" ”

With that, she's going to go out.

Gu Qingzhou hurriedly grabbed her.

"No, I'll have to take a look." Yan Luoshui broke free of Gu Qingzhou's hand, for fear that her father would beat Xie Shunmin.

Gu Qingzhou didn't let go, and said: "The father-in-law is measured, and the brother-in-law is not as ignorant as the fifth brother, you give them a little time." ”

Yan Luoshui calmed down.

She groomed anxiously.

After freshening up and sitting down to have breakfast, she kept urging Gu Qingzhou: "You call Shunmin and ask if Abba is gone." ”

Gu Qingzhou put a plate of sour bamboo shoots in front of her and said, "Eat well." Since the father-in-law has come forward, there will naturally be justice for you. Even if you don't trust your brother-in-law, you can trust your father. ”

Yan Luo's head was bowed.

She ate a few sour bamboo shoots, felt slightly appetizing, drank a bowl of rice porridge and then ate two soup dumplings.

After eating, the phone rang.

Gu Qingzhou went to answer the phone.

On the phone, it was Yan Xinnong's voice: "Qingzhou"

"Father-in-law, what's wrong?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

"You bring Luo Shui here." Yan Xinnong said, "Go to my study." ”

Gu Qingzhou understood.

It seems that the father-in-law talked to Xie Shunmin and almost asked the question clearly.

Gu Qingzhou said yes.

She hung up the phone, and Yan Luoshui looked at her with a tense face.

Gu Qingzhou repeated his father-in-law's words to Luo Shui: "Father-in-law let us pass." ”

"Is this a case of figuring out the cause and effect?" Yan Luoshui asked.

Gu Qingzhou shook his head: "I won't know until I went." ”

Yan Luoshui immediately got up.

Ten minutes away, Gu Qingzhou walked over with Yan Luoshui, and digested it after a meal by the way.

Yan Luoshui walked very fast.

Gu Qingzhou pulled her: "You can slow down, don't really move the fetus." ”

Where can Yan Luoshui stop?

Gu Qingzhou pulled her arm hard, and then she slowed down and asked Gu Qingzhou: "You said, did Abba beat Shunmin?" ”

"Don't beat him, my father-in-law is not such an impulsive person." Gu Qingzhou said.

Yan Luoshui was full of worries.

When the two of them arrived at Yan Xinong's outer study, Mrs. Yan was also there.

Similarly, Mrs. Yan's face is not good, obviously she knows.

Yan Luoshui and Gu Qingzhou came in.

Seeing that Yan Yiyuan didn't come, Gu Qingzhou felt that it was better to avoid it, so he said, "Father-in-law, I'll go find the fifth brother first." ”

Xie Shunmin stood up: "Qingzhou, you sit down and listen together." ”

That is, he is not going to hide anything anymore.

Gu Qingzhou glanced at Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Yan nodded.

Gu Qingzhou said: "Then I'll listen to it together and give you ideas." ”

The crowd sat still.

Yan Luo subconsciously sat on the sofa beside Mrs. Yan.

Next to Xie Shunmin, a seat was specially reserved for her, but she avoided it. Xie Shunmin's eyes suddenly showed a little pain.

Yan Luoshui lowered his head.

Mrs. Yan spoke: "Shunmin, in today's era, you also know that it is your legitimate right to really marry an aunt's wife, and now we sit down to talk about this matter, and we have a lot of intentions to bully you." ”

These words, listening to Gu Qingzhou's ears, were also full of sarcasm, not to mention Xie Shunmin.

Xie Shunmin looked embarrassed: "Mother-in-law, I will never take a concubine, let alone spend time drinking outside." There is another reason for this, please let my mother-in-law calm her anger. ”

Mrs. Yan's face turned slightly pale.

Yan Luoshui lowered his head and didn't look at Xie Shunmin.

The pain in Xie Shunmin's eyes was even deeper, and he was more uncomfortable than her when he looked at Yan Luoshui and was disheartened.

Yan Xinong spoke: "Shunmin, you said that you wanted to explain in person, but now that everyone is here, you can say it." ”

Xie Shunmin bowed.

He looked at Yan Luoshui.

Yan Luoshui still didn't look up.

Xie Shunmin felt heavy and said, "I was blackmailed by Weiyue. ”

Everyone was surprised.

Gu Qingzhou also looked at Xie Shunmin in astonishment.

Yan Luoshui's body stiffened, and he still didn't look at Xie Shunmin, but raised his eyes to look at his father.

Quiet in the house.

Yan Xinnong and Mrs. Yan looked at Xie Shunmin and did not speak.

Gu Qingzhou helped to make Xie Shunmin's words more fluent, so he asked, "Blackmail?" Brother-in-law, where do you start? ”

Xie Shunmin cleared his throat: "Our Xie family, there are some disgraceful things. ”

There was no beginning or end to this, but everyone understood.

Weiyue grabbed Xie Shunmin's handle.

"What handle do you have in Weiyue's hands?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Xie Shunmin was silent.

He seemed in pain and didn't know how to talk about it.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping.

Yan Luoshui's heart is also sinking little by little. This tide of silence almost drowned everyone, and everyone held their breath.

When Gu Qingzhou was about to break the silence, Xie Shunmin spoke again.

"It was fifteen years ago. At that time, my father was an official in Hangzhou, and he went home to worship his ancestors during the Qingming Festival.

My father-in-law should also remember that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a serious problem of banditry, and everyone who crossed the official road had to prepare some silver taels to cross, and my father and his entourage also distributed silver, but he was kidnapped.

The bandits who kidnapped my father took him into custody and beat him severely, saying that he wanted him to atone for what he had done.

My father said at the time that he had done many things in his life, some of which were also selfish, but he did not know which thing to atone for.

The bandits said that my father had abused an eight-year-old girl named Jin Erniang and strangled her, and asked my father to write a confession in front of the Buddha for the Buddha to forgive.

My father doesn't know who Jin Erniang is, and the accusation of this matter is too harsh, it will ruin my father, not to mention being an official, even being a human being is difficult.

The bandits demanded that my father confess, but when he refused to confess, the bandits threatened: 'I will cut off your legs first, starting with your toes, and if you don't confess one day, I will cut off one section a day.' After chopping the toes and calves, and chopping the calves after chopping the calves'.

Sure enough, after the coercion failed that day, they cut off one of my father's toes.

My father was in agony. The bandits took turns cutting off both of his feet. After losing two toes on his left foot and three toes on his right foot, my father felt that it was a dead end to go on like this, so why not obey first, and save his life?

He wrote a confession in his own handwriting, admitting that he had raped and killed an eight-year-old girl.

The bandits were overjoyed, wept and kowtowed in front of the Buddha, and enshrined the confession in front of the Buddha.

My father had been missing for seven days at that time, and the family knew that the government was unreliable, so they asked someone from the martial arts hall to take the family to look for it, and they really found it.

My father was rescued, but he read the confession in his heart, once it fell into the hands of others, outsiders did not know the truth or falsehood, and only recognized my father's own guilt, and the Xie family would be disgraced.

When my father went to look for it, he found that the confession was missing.

Later, when the government interrogated, it turned out that the bandit had spoiled the girl, had nightmares all the time, and was asked for his life by the other party, so he remembered to find someone to 'replace' the stupid trick. ”

Xie Shunmin paused slightly when he said this.

There was silence in the room.

Yan Luoshui finally raised his eyes and looked at Xie Shunmin. She almost understood Xie Shunmin's distress, and for a while, her emotions surged, and her eyes were full of tears.
