Chapter 118 Incomparably bleak
The old ancestor was beating the ground on crutches, and muttered heartache, "Evil fate, evil fate, Qiao Yun is such a gentle and kind daughter, how can there be a ruthless and jealous sister like you!" What a fate! ”
Zhou Anzhi supported the old ancestor and comforted him softly, "Grandmother, my mother doesn't want to see you like this in the sky, don't be sad." Fang Zhirong couldn't help but step forward to help the old lady, for fear that she would be too angry and something would happen again, she still couldn't believe that the woman who had lived in the house with her for almost twenty years was actually a vicious woman who killed her sister-in-law.
The old ancestor was angry, since Zhou Ruosu tried his best to deal with Zhou Anzhi many times, but "Qiao Yun", a mother, repeatedly reprimanded her, so that the old lady was already tired of her from the bottom of her heart, but she felt too sorry for her as a big girl. "Anzhi, I feel sorry for you."
"You are an old immortal, if it weren't for your previous kindness to Ruosu, you would have been killed a long time ago, I didn't expect you to help Zhou Anzhi's little cheap hoof, I really regret not having ...... Poof" Qiao Yuan spit out a mouthful of blood from her mouth, lying on the ground and staring at Zhou Lu with her eyes, but she no longer had the strength to stand up.
"Come on, lock them up for me and guard them strictly" Zhou Lu finished kicking Qiao Yuan and said outside the door, until a few guards pulled the two away, and the room was quiet again.
"What is Father going to do?" Zhou Anzhi looked at Zhou Lu, who was still in a rage, standing in the center of the room, and asked.
What else can you do, if something like this happens, you must notify the Qiao family as soon as possible!
Zhou Lu rubbed his sore eyebrows, his head hurt badly, as Zhou Anzhi expected, he turned around and left after explaining to Fu Bo.
Three days later, the people of the Qiao family finally arrived in Jiangnan.
Old Madam Qiao ignored the tiredness of the boat and car, got out of the car and sat directly in the front hall and began to talk about it with Zhou Lu and the people of the Zhou family.
Zhou Lu, as the head of the family, did not speak, and Zhou An explained the whole matter to Mrs. Qiao word by word.
Although Mrs. Qiao was angry after hearing this, she was a little calmer than the Zhou family, probably because she already knew about Qiao Yuan killing her sister and living in the Zhou Mansion before she came to the Zhou family.
"What is Master Zhou going to do?" Old Madam Qiao asked Zhou Lu who was sitting on the throne in a deep voice.
Zhou Lu thought for a moment and looked at her, "I want to open Qiao Yun's coffin and perform an autopsy." His words were very resolute, as if he had already decided.
Old Madam Qiao looked at the tea cup on the table, although it is not good to open the coffin after a person dies, but now that something like this has happened, it is even worse.
Old Madam Qiao agreed, and was arranged by Zhou Lu to go to the yard to rest, and she sent someone to dig the coffin.
Old Madam Qiao didn't need to shirk it, and followed Fu Bo away.
In the past few days, Zhou Anzhi has been living a clean life, except for asking the ancestors to be safe, they are all diligent martial arts practitioners in the courtyard, if there is anything they don't understand, ask Yingge directly, the learning is quite smooth, and the ice silk jade bone needle is getting smoother and smoother in her hands, and occasionally she will learn with her.
The next morning, the dew gently slid down the freshly sprouted grass.
Zhou Anyi was called to the front hall again with Yingge and Xiao Tao in white clothes, and when he entered, the people in the front hall were almost all together.
The coffin in the middle was placed in the center, and when Zhou Lu was digging the coffin, he called a few servants by the way, probably it was really prepared for the autopsy.
Zhou Anzhi sat down, and Old Lady Qiao was helped by Cui'er and walked in slowly, and after sitting down, she glanced at Zhou Lu, "Let's start." ”
Zhou Lu signaled to Fu Bo, and Fu Bo immediately walked to the center and followed a few guards to open the coffin, and the thick dust rolled up all over the place, but no one cared, everyone stared at the people in the coffin tightly.
Nearly twenty years later, all that remained was a dry skeleton and gold and silver burial jewelry.
Fauber called for an autopsy, and several of them studied the dry bones inside the coffin.
Zhou Anzhi learned to look at the way he was doing, and then looked left and right on the ground and turned around a few times, but he didn't see the reason, he simply looked at the skull inside, and he could vaguely portray the appearance of his mother when he was young in his mind, in Zhou Anzhi's heart, his mother was naturally much more beautiful than Qiao Yun, not only on the outside, but also on the inside.
Old Madam Qiao watched her daughter lying in the coffin and became a dry bone, and she couldn't help but have red eyes, and Cui'er gently comforted Old Madam Qiao on the side before suppressing her emotions.
The man who stared at the skull without blinking was none other than Qiao Yun, this was the woman who lost his cardamom years just to marry him, how could he not be heartbroken and sad? Even if he's a big man.
Several servants discussed together for a long time before the result was determined, and an old man stepped forward to say, "If you go back to the master, the woman in the coffin has an enlarged pelvic bone, and she must be the one who gave birth." ”
At the end of the sentence, the whole hall fell silent.
After a while, Zhou Lucai said, "Fu Bo, reward a few adults and send someone to the place." Fauber answered and went down with a few servants.
Old Madam Qiao sat straight on the stool, the back pelvis was enlarged, the person who gave birth! Her daughter, her proudest daughter, was killed by her own little daughter at the end of childbirth! How could she? Old Madam Qiao couldn't stop sitting on the stool and crying.
"My grandmother's day mourns, after many years, my mother is gentle and generous, and she will not be careful." Zhou Anzhi looked at Old Madam Qiao's appearance, and couldn't bear to speak.
Most of them are people that their mothers were born to respect, and since their mothers can't honor them, let An Zhi come! Zhou Anzhi secretly swore in his heart that he would protect the entire Zhou family.
Zhou Lu stood and kept thinking about what he said, Qiao Yun was really strangled to death by Qiao Yuan with a rope after giving birth to Zhou An, so what Qiao Yuan said yesterday was not wrong, she and Li Yutang murdered Qiao Yun for the property of the Zhou family, so it also proves that Qiao Yuan must have a temple once a month to pray for her sister and have a private meeting with Li Yutang.
"Someone, let me go to the courtyard of the eldest lady and search the account books." Zhou Lu said coldly.
The account books were searched, Zhou Lu looked at it, and sure enough, once a month, the silver disappeared, and he threw the account books on the ground angrily, scolding the cheap goods in his mouth.
"Big brother, I don't know if there is one thing that Rong should say or not." Fang Zhirong walked out at the right time, made a dignified and windy salute, and said lightly.
"There's nothing else you shouldn't say now, just say it." Zhou Lu's tired heart was already full of holes, and he waved his hand to signal Fang Zhirong to continue.
After An Zhi was born, the eldest lady has been depressed for half a year, An Zhi is raised by a nurse, and after the eldest lady gave birth to Zhou Ruosu, she did not have a trace of care and care for An Zhi, and gave full authority to the nurse. Even the most basic piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for women, the eldest lady has never asked anyone to teach An Zhi. If Zhirong said something ugly, the eldest lady never treated Zhou Anzhi as a child. Fang Zhirong was indignant, but there was no trace of ups and downs in her voice, she had always wanted to tell Zhou Lu about it, but she was afraid that Zhou Lu and Qiao Yun had too good a relationship, and mistakenly thought that she was sowing discord.
Zhou Lu's face at this time was already blue and had reached the limit, and he turned his gaze to Zhou Anzhi, only to see that she lowered her head and did not speak, so he knew that what Fang Zhirong said was not an exaggeration.
Zhou Anzhi is not her child, so she doesn't care at all, and even for the position of Zhou Ruosu's daughter, she repeatedly designed to kill Zhou Anzhi but was unsuccessful.
Qiao Yuan pampered and cared for Zhou Ruosu, and after Qiao Yun gave birth to Zhou An, Qiao Yuan was depressed for half a year, and she hadn't even had sex with herself, so Zhou Ruosu was not her daughter? The doubts in Zhou Lu's heart were even heavier.
"For so many years, Anzhi has suffered this child." Zhou Lu sighed, looking at Zhou Anzhi's eyes and slowly feeling distressed.
Zhou Anzhi didn't cry, but said slowly, "An Zhi doesn't feel bitter, his father can finally make decisions for his mother, and An Zhi is already very happy." Her voice was hoarse, obviously too worried.
Zhou Lu looked at Zhou Anzhi with relief, and thanked him even more in his heart: Yun'er, thank you for giving birth to such a sensible and obedient daughter.
"Mama Lin, do you remember what happened when the eldest lady gave birth to Zhou Ruosu?" Zhou Lu looked at Mama Lin, who was standing behind the old ancestor, and asked.
Zhou Ruosu, who had been sitting in the corner, suddenly heard Zhou Lu mention his name, panicked, and immediately knelt down, "Father, Ruosu is your biological daughter, father can't do without Ruosu." Father ......"
Zhou Anzhi was silent, looking at Zhou Ruosu on the ground with cold eyes, and the warmth and coldness of the people were nothing more than that.
Zhou Lu looked at Mama Lin, her voice was low, but it was terrifying, "Mama Lin, you took care of it when the eldest lady was pregnant with Ruosu?" ”
Mama Lin bowed, "Yes, the slave maid has been following the ancestor for a long time, and the old lady sent the slave maid to serve the eldest lady." ”
"I remember when the eldest lady said she was born prematurely?" Zhou Lu's voice was still deep, and his spirit seemed to be very bad in a few days, since he shook out of this murder, he had aged a lot overnight, and his white hair was faintly exposed.
However, how can the pain of losing a wife not hurt?
Yu Yihang and Gao Yu are still living in the mansion, and it is difficult for anyone to accept the murder case from many years ago at this kind of banquet.
"Master, the eldest lady said that Zhou Ruosu was born prematurely, but the midwife said that the eldest lady gave birth to Zhou Ruosu on the same day, and the eldest lady was angry, so she drove the midwife out." Mama Lin told all the past, and her calm tone did not have a trace of waves.
When the eldest lady drove away the midwife, there were only two people present, she and the eldest lady, until today, she still remembers what the eldest lady said to her, "Mama Lin, the midwife is confused, Mrs. Ben knows that Mama Lin understands things, and naturally knows how to tell the master, otherwise I don't mind letting Mama Lin accompany the midwife." ”
Although she was still young, she also understood the wind and rain in the backyard, so she didn't dare to say anything.
Zhou Lu slapped the table angrily, and the sturdy rosewood table shook violently, making a loud noise. Shocked and sat again, everyone was shocked.
Zhou Ruosu, who was kneeling on the ground, turned pale and collapsed to the ground, crying and pleading, extremely desolate in the silent front hall.
"Master Zhou, Ruo Su is not your and Qiao Yuan's child?" Old Madam Qiao also heard a rough idea, and when she saw Zhou Lu's angry appearance, she couldn't help but ask.
