Chapter Fifty-Three: Deadly Hidden Arrows
The breeze comes slowly, caressing everything in the territory. The sun is shining brightly, transmitting a soft and warm light. Although it is late autumn, the scene is still warm and comfortable, and it is leisurely.
The door of the house gradually opened, only to feel a faint breeze blowing in the face, which made people feel a hundred times more refreshed and comfortable, and all the fatigue of the past day also disappeared.
In this warm and peaceful atmosphere, in this comfortable and lively Sui Mansion, Xu Sicong and Sui Yuexuan, a pair of loving lovers, are finally going to get married on today's day full of guests and friends.
But at the critical moment when they were about to get married, unexpected things happened one after another. It was precisely because of these sudden appearances that completely changed the direction of their lives in the future.
Seeing that the auspicious time had come, the two began to salute.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a woman suddenly led a pair of children and rushed in from the outside, crying and shouting, and could not stop them.
Everyone was amazed when they saw this, and just when they were still wondering why the three of them had come to make a fuss, the woman revealed her identity and explained her intentions.
The man claimed to be Xu Sicong's wife, because Xu Sicong said many years ago that he wanted to come to the city to find another way out, so she took care of the children at home alone.
The woman was very worried when she saw that her husband had not returned for a long time and had not heard from her, so she left her hometown alone with a pair of children and came to look for Xu Sicong, but she found nothing.
Just when the three of them were depressed and wanted to return to their hometowns, they unexpectedly learned from others that Sui Yuexuan, the daughter of Sui Yuanwai, was about to get married, and this so-called husband actually had the same name and surname as her husband.
When the woman saw this, she immediately realized that something was wrong, so she rushed here overnight with a pair of children to find out. Sure enough, this person was her husband.
At first glance, these things may sound reasonable, but if you can calm down and think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find many loopholes.
But at this time, Sui Yuanwai was already stunned by what was in front of him, coupled with the speculation and discussion of neighbors and relatives and friends, which made him even more embarrassed to see people.
Seeing this situation, Sui Yuanwai was already at a loss, so he didn't have the leisure to judge the truth of the whole thing.
Seeing the yellow-muscled, thin-clothed woman tearfully holding her two young children crying sadly, Sui Yuanwai's heart was mixed.
I thought: I was really blind, and I almost entrusted my daughter to such a shameless "negative man" who abandoned his wife and children.
Just as Sui Yuanwai was about to question Xu Sicong, another woman of unknown origin came to him noisily.
I saw that this woman was dressed in bright clothes and heavy makeup, behaved lightly, and spoke loudly, which was not a good thing at first glance.
Sure enough, after a more detailed conversation, everyone unexpectedly found that this was actually a fireworks woman.
What's even more infuriating is that this woman is already pregnant, and the father of the child is Xu Sicong.
The purpose of her coming here is to ask for an explanation for herself and her children, because Xu Sicong had promised her that he would marry her in the future.
Just when this person was waiting for Xu Sicong to redeem himself and live a good life, he was unexpectedly learned that he dared to marry another woman behind his back. That's why she had to come here to make a big fuss, so that everyone could know what kind of person Xu Sicong was.
was originally a good marriage, but let them make such a fuss, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely embarrassing.
In desperation, Sui Yuanwai had no choice but to let the guests leave first, and the wedding date would be postponed indefinitely.
In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, the thoughtful Sui Yuanwai arranged separate accommodations for these people in case of emergency.
After that, Sui Yuanwai ordered a detailed and thorough investigation to reconfirm whether the matter was true. lest he fall for the tricks of the villains by mistake because of this, so that he wronged Xu Sicong.
However, to Sui Yuanwai's great disappointment, after some investigation, the so-called facts that happened before were not only not overturned, but made him more convinced that Xu Sicong was a shameless villain who was unsympathetic and liked to mess with flowers everywhere.
Because these people's depictions of Xu Sicong are so detailed that even some small details that Sui Yuanwai and Sui Yuexuan don't know can be said, and it doesn't look like a fake.
Even so, Sui Yuanwai still couldn't believe that Xu Sicong, who seemed honest and diligent on weekdays, could be so unbearable.
It wasn't until one day that something unexpected happened again, which made Sui Yuanwai make up his mind.
According to the fireworks woman, Xu Sicong gave her a large amount of gold and silver treasures during his secret meeting with her, which was worth a lot of money. Because of this, she firmly believes that Xu Sicong has the ability to redeem herself, and can ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
Sui Yuanwai was also suspicious of what the woman said, so he ordered someone to go to Xu Sicong and the woman's residence to search carefully.
As a result, as she said, in the room of the two of them, a large number of gold and silver utensils, jewelry, and silver tickets from the Sui Mansion were found.
In front of the mountain of ironclad evidence, Sui Yuanwai became more and more uneasy, he was afraid that Xu Sicong would do something unfavorable to him, but he had not yet noticed it.
At this moment, Sui Yuanwai happened to see a sachet given to him by Xu Sicong a few days ago.
This was specially made for him by Xu Sicong, saying that it could refresh his mind, but now it seems that this sachet may not be safe.
Sure enough, after this sachet has been inspected by a special person, it should be determined that there is a lot of articles in it.
It turned out that Sui Yuanwai, who was originally strong and healthy, gradually began to have symptoms such as dizziness and pan-strength in his limbs in the past few days. At the beginning, he just thought that people should be like this when they were old, but he didn't want someone to be making trouble in the dark.
According to an old doctor who has been practicing medicine for many years, the contents of this sachet are not at all a medicine that can refresh the mind and help the body's health, but a kind of poison powder that can kill people. And if this poisonous powder wants to exert its medicinal effects, it must be used in conjunction with a special rare plant.
And when the doctor described the general characteristics and characteristics of this plant to Sui Yuanwai, he was really shocked, because the plant that the doctor said was placed in his room at this moment.
This small and gorgeous flower was placed here by Xu Sicong a few days ago, he was originally out of good intentions, but he didn't want to be taken advantage of, so that he was framed to such an extent.
This is a strange flower from the Western Regions, and the flowers are pink. This flower not only blooms for a long time, but also exudes a faint fragrance from time to time, which is very rare.
The magic of this flower is that if it is not used in conjunction with a special poison powder, and then produces a chemical reaction to produce toxins, so that people are chronically poisoned, it is not toxic to the plant itself, so ordinary people can not do it no matter how much they plant.
However, once this flower encounters poison powder, its situation changes drastically. If you are in such an environment for a long time, it will cause great harm to the physical and mental health of the people around you, so that you will be weak and sick and skinny until you die, which is enough to kill people invisibly.
Fortunately, Sui Yuanwai was found early and his health was fine, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing that Xu Sicong had done such an evil thing behind his back, Sui Yuanwai naturally couldn't let him stay here anymore.
So in a fit of rage, he drove Xu Sicong out of the mansion and told him that he would never set foot in this place for eternity, let alone see Sui Yuexuan again.
This sudden and huge change made Xu Sicong completely desperate. The matter has come to this point, Xu Sicong is speechless. Seeing that there was no hope in life, Xu Sicong, who was already dead, committed suicide by throwing himself into a well on the night of being expelled from the Sui Mansion.
Sui Yuexuan, who lived in the mansion, heard the bad news, and her heart was mixed, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
I thought that this matter was over, but I didn't expect that a few days later, a few words from an old man almost made Sui Yuexuan go to Huangquan as well.
This subordinate was a helper in the kitchen of the Sui Mansion, and that afternoon, this person was doing chores in the kitchen.
At this moment, she happened to see a few people sneaking around, not knowing what they were talking about.
Seeing this, the man subconsciously walked over, unthinking but unexpectedly discovering their earth-shattering conspiracy.
Afterwards, she wanted to inform the staff about it, but she was afraid that no one would believe her words. There is a way that disaster comes from the mouth, so she chose to remain silent because she was timid and afraid.
But when she unexpectedly learned that Xu Sicong had died, and then saw Sui Yuexuan's life worse than death all day long, the old woman began to feel uneasy about her conscience.
After all, the two of them take good care of themselves on weekdays, but she didn't report it because she was greedy for life and afraid of death, and then caused a big disaster, which is really an unforgivable sin.
Afterwards, the old woman felt guilty, so she told everything she knew, and then committed suicide by hitting the wall.
When Sui Yuanwai learned the truth, he was full of remorse, so he immediately sent people to find those people who were related to the matter to ask him about everything.
Unexpectedly, when they came to the residence of these people one after another, the woman and the woman, as well as several people who had not been here for a long time, all disappeared in an instant, inexplicably.
It was only at this time that everyone knew that Xu Sicong had been wronged. All of this is a myth, but it is too late to realize that it is too late.
It turned out that this long-planned assassination was planned by Qiu Pengyun at Xu Yuexiao's request.
However, Qiu Pengyun knew that Xu Yuexiao's life and death were uncertain, why did he continue to implement such a vicious strategy, could it be said that Xu Yuexiao, who jumped off the cliff, was still in the world?
Afterwards, Sui Yuanwai was worried that Sui Yuexuan would kill herself because she couldn't withstand the blow, so he kept sending people to protect her every step of the way.
But if a person is determined to do something, how can others stop it?
Over time, the vigilance of the caregivers will inevitably be relaxed, which gives Sui Yuexuan an opportunity.
That day, Sui Yuexuan saw that he was full of sleepiness, so he escaped while he was unprepared. After that, Sui Yuexuan came to the ancient well where Xu Sicong was buried and wanted to go down to accompany him.
I saw Sui Yuexuan, who was neatly dressed, slowly came to the ancient well with a bitter smile on her face, and then looked at the water in the well blankly and fell into contemplation.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew. The huge wind blew a big tree next to the ancient well from time to time.
After a while, some dead branches and leaves were blown off one after another, and then they fell impartially into the ancient well under the tree, and then made a loud noise.
Seeing this, Sui Yuexuan was stunned at first. Then she raised her head, and then gently stroked the smooth and cold wall of the well with her hand, and slowly shed tears.
At this moment, a white jade bracelet that had been worn on her arm suddenly slipped out of her sleeve.
Seeing this, Sui Yuexuan couldn't help but take off the bracelet, and then stared at it intently.
This bracelet is a special gift from Xu Sicong to her, and on the outer surface of this bracelet, there are two big characters engraved by Xu Sicong himself - "Sixuan".
At this moment, Sui Yuexuan completely collapsed.
She wanted to die with a bracelet, but she didn't want to accidentally drop it into a well because of her excessive sadness.
Seeing this, Sui Yuexuan was about to commit suicide by jumping into a well, but he was suddenly knocked unconscious.
Then, Sui Yuexuan was taken away by the man, and his whereabouts are unknown.
