Chapter Eighty-Six: Luring the Wolf into the House
Mrs. Zhao found that Zhou Xuanling had a very close relationship with Zhao Meiyun, the daughter born to the sixth aunt, in private, and Mrs. Zhao even found out that Zhou Xuanling and Zhao Meiyun had a house in the ancient street north of Jincheng, and the two seemed to have lived together secretly for almost a year.
However, inferring from the time, Zhou Xuanling was obviously pursuing me at that time.
"Xiaowan, it was my mother who looked away, and I always mistakenly thought that your cousin was honest and really in love with you, but it turned out to be my mother's wishful thinking." Mrs. Zhao said and held my hand tightly, with a guilty face, saying that she almost pushed me into the fire pit.
"Mother, don't mention the past, now, this Zhou Xuanling is only afraid to provoke the relationship between his father and Qi Ye." I frowned, worried, thinking that it would be better to go over now and make it clear to Master Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao took my wrist and insisted on going with me.
She let the maid in and groomed her, and I was very distressed when I looked at her haggard appearance.
When she was dressed, I stood up and prepared to help her downstairs, but when she saw me stand up, her eyes fell on my stomach.
"Xiaowan, you?" Mrs. Zhao looked at me in surprise.
"Mother, I'm pregnant, it's been more than five months." I looked at Mrs. Zhao and said.
The expression on Mrs. Zhao's face was very complicated, and now she was a mixture of joy and sorrow, and her great grief really made it difficult for her to say congratulations to me.
"Mother, deal with my brother's affairs first, and we'll talk about the rest later." I said, helped Mrs. Zhao out of the room, and went to the Xiyuan Hall together.
In this main hall, a mourning hall has been set up, and a coffin is lying quietly in the middle of the hall.
And Master Zhao stood in front of the coffin with his back to the door.
My eyes swept around the hall, but I didn't see any trace of Zhou Xuanling.
"Daddy!" I opened my mouth and screamed.
Master Zhao's shoulders trembled, he turned his head to look out of the door, and found that it was me who was immediately stunned.
"Xiaowan? You? "He didn't expect that I would show up out of nowhere.
"Dad, me?" I was about to speak, but Master Zhao suddenly looked at me and shook his head.
"Xiaowan, you won't come back and plead for your husband Mu Qiye, right?" He stared at me with disappointment in his eyes.
Perhaps, he has decided that I am a daughter who has been raised for many years.
"It's not a plea, it's a matter of making the facts clear." I looked at Master Zhao with a serious face, and immediately opened my mouth to explain.
When Master Zhao heard this, he snorted coldly: "Facts? What facts? That Mu Qiye killed your brother, do you still want to distort the facts? ”
"Dad, since you can thrive in the business field, you must be a smart and wise person, then please stand in the position of praying for the night and think about it, will he kill his brother when the Mu army attacked Youzhou and his brother helped in the peace talks? He's not crazy, isn't this forcing our Zhao family to encircle and suppress him? I looked at Master Zhao and asked.
After hearing this, Master Zhao immediately roared: "That Mu Qiye, killing your brother, maybe it was impulsive, he didn't take our Zhao family in his eyes, when you married him, he made our Zhao family suffer a lot of shame, what else can't he do?" ”
Master Zhao's emotions were very excited, probably because he remembered that before, the wedding without the groom made him lose face, and now this hatred has not disappeared, and he is already prejudiced against Long Xuanling.
"Master, one yard is one yard, it was not Mu Qiye who killed Tianyu, it was Zhou Xuanling." Mrs. Zhao spoke.
When Master Zhao heard this, a stunned look appeared on his face.
That expression was clearly shocked by Mrs. Zhao's words.
"Do you know, ma'am, what you're talking about?" Master Zhao looked at Mrs. Zhao.
"Sir, you know what? Zhou Xuanling has already gotten into one place with your most beloved daughter Zhao Meiyun, and even bought the house, just in Jincheng, under your nose, the two of them live in one place. Mrs. Zhao said, her face solemn.
"Impossible!" Master Zhao denied Mrs. Zhao's statement.
"Then you can check it yourself, I can give you the address, Zhou Xuanling is the wolf's ambition, and I led the wolf into the room!" After Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, she staggered towards the coffin.
I held her up, and I could feel that Mrs. Zhao's body was trembling with every step she took, and deep down in her heart, she still couldn't accept the fact that Zhao Tianyu was dead.
Mrs. Zhao's hand touched the lid of the coffin, tears dripped down her cheeks, and she choked up and said to Master Zhao: "Tianyu is my only son, and I will not let the person who killed him stay out of the matter and live in peace." ”
"Tianyu is also my son, but what you say now is simply a prejudice against Meiyun." Old Man Zhao frowned and retorted.
"Huh? Bias? My sons are dead, and what prejudice do you have against her? After Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, she turned to look at Master Zhao: "Although Tianyu is your son, but you are different from me, he is not your only son, Tianyu died, you still have four or five, or even more sons, who can comfort yourself, and me?" ”
"You?" Master Zhao was gagged by Mrs. Zhao's words.
"Dad, I swear with my life, this matter has nothing to do with praying for the night, it is really Zhou Xuanling who is the obstruction." I also looked at Mr. Zhao and swore an oath.
There was hesitation in Master Zhao's eyes, and in the end, he decided to follow what Mrs. Zhao said, first investigate whether Zhou Xuanling lived secretly with Zhao Meiyun, if it was true?
Old Man Zhao frowned, if it was true, he was afraid that he would have to look at Zhou Xuanling again, who seemed to be "honest and responsible".
But no matter whether it can be investigated clearly, this Zhao Tianyu can't be saved, and the funeral still has to be done, if it is cold today, the body can't be left for too long, the road has been delayed for three days, and now it can only be stopped for one day.
Tonight began to let people come to mourn, and tomorrow morning there will be a funeral.
"Tianyu, it's all my mother's fault, my mother shouldn't let you go." Mrs. Zhao suddenly lay on the lid of the coffin and began to whimper loudly.
And, she also insisted that the servant who was guarding outside come in and open the coffin lid, she wanted to see Zhao Tianyu for the last time.
"Tianyu's face has already appeared corpse spots, madam, don't look at it, so as not to touch the scene." Master Zhao opened his mouth and persuaded Mrs. Zhao.
"No, this is the last time I see Tianyu, I must see it." Mrs. Zhao sobbed and insisted repeatedly, but in the end there was no way, Master Zhao beckoned to the servants outside the door, and those people immediately came in and helped push the coffin lid open.
I looked into the coffin, this Zhao Tianyu's remains should have been taken care of, but the powder couldn't cover the spots on his cheeks, as well as the shocking cut marks on his neck, and the red flesh turned out, as if telling the pain of being cut at that time.
