This time, Ping'er didn't even struggle anymore in my arms, just stood in the ruins, just looking at his broken eyes at that moment, I suddenly didn't know if there was anything on his body that was destroyed by this fire, except for this house, leaving only a broken wall.

I wanted to comfort him, I wanted to cry with him, but when I opened my mouth, I couldn't say anything.

All that remained was the dry rolling of the throat, as if with the salty smell of blood and tears.

Seeing this scene, I felt as if something had been ruined.

At this moment, the figure in front of me flashed, Pei Yuanxiu blocked in front of me, and said calmly and in a low voice: "Don't look at it." ”

I looked up at him, completely at a loss, tears rolling in my eyes, trembling: "I...... I do not know...... Why is this happening......"

"I said, don't look at it."

As he spoke, he walked up and put a hand around my thin, trembling body, and I stumbled forward, my chin slammed into his shoulder, and tears fell down his hair with a clatter, and then disappeared.

His other hand also grabbed Ping'er, but he didn't say a word of comfort, and at this time, it seemed that Ping'er couldn't see anything and couldn't hear it.

I don't know when this kid passed out, it feels like he has been held in my arms all the time, but when the white bones were dug out of the ruins, he fell down all of a sudden, and was caught by Pei Yuanxiu.

I hurriedly stepped forward to look: "Ping'er, what's wrong with him?" ”

"He's so sad."

When he said this, Pei Yuanxiu was still very calm, even though those officials and servants were taking out the bones little by little and walking in front of us, this cruel scene and the calm on his face became a strong contrast, and he just looked down at me and said softly: "It's okay to pass out, otherwise he won't be able to bear it." ”

"Ah......h

"Find a place to rest first. You also come out, you can't stay in here for long. ”

"Okay."

I nodded, looked at Ping'er cautiously, and walked out with Pei Yuanxiu.

There were still a lot of people outside, but at this time, the government had already sent more officials to stop the Gu family, and those ordinary people retreated three feet away, and they all stretched their necks to look this way.

Pei Yuanxiu's face was still covered with a white veil, and his ordinary white clothes still had a bit of ice and snow, and for a while those noisy people were quiet, looking at this side cautiously, Pei Yuanxiu walked to the door, and before he could take a step, he stopped and turned around, and the few accompanying officials all stepped forward cautiously to wait, and heard him whisper: "I'll report back when it's handled." ”

"Yes, Childe."

Then he turned to me and said softly, "Let's go back first." ”

I nodded.

When we walked out of the ruins that were still smoking and emitting a thick scorching smell, the carriage had already driven over, Pei Yuanxiu got into the car with Ping'er in his arms first, I stood next to the carriage, and casually glanced around, and suddenly, I saw a bewitching figure and charming eyes in the crowd.

It's Ah Lan!

I was taken aback, opened my eyes and looked carefully, sure enough, it was Ah Lan, but unlike the previous appearance of being dressed in red, this time she was also dressed in cloth and hidden in the crowd, although it still failed to hide her natural beauty, but it was not so dazzling in the end.

And the first time I saw her, I immediately realized that I could detoxify!

I couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in my heart, and the tears in my eyes hadn't dried yet, but I couldn't help but put down a big stone and hurriedly stepped forward: "Ah-"

Before calling her name, Pei Yuanxiu had already put Ping'er in the carriage, turned around and came back to pick me up, he grabbed my sleeve: "Qingying." ”

"......" I still turned my head to look at the crowd, Ah Lan had obviously seen me, but at this time she did not come up to meet me, but nodded lightly, as if to signal, and turned away.

I froze in place.

What's going on? She saw me, so why did she leave?

Pei Yuanxiu had already gotten out of the carriage and walked behind me, and when he saw me looking at the crowd stupidly, he whispered, "Qingying, what are you looking at?" ”

"I—"

I looked back at him a little dazedly, my heart was in turmoil, Ah Lan's back disappeared in a flash, obviously not to ask me to follow, it seemed that she didn't want to meet me in this place, just to signal, let me know her.

Could it be that because of their identity as thugs like the rivers and lakes, they still have some scruples about the government and forces like Pei Yuanxiu?

I thought to myself, but I couldn't think of a reason, but now that she's here, it proves that she can find me, and there's no danger now.

Looks like I'm just going to have to wait for her to come to me.

Anyway, the antidote should have fallen, and I was relieved in my heart, and when I turned back to Pei Yuanxiu's concerned gaze, I only smiled faintly: "It's okay." Let's go back. ”

"......" He was thoughtful, as if such a perfunctory answer could not satisfy him, and after looking at me for a while, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, so he nodded: "Let's go." ”

followed him into the carriage, and saw Ping'er sleeping inside, I carefully moved over and held the child in my arms, Pei Yuanxiu still sat quietly next to me and accompanied me, and when the carriage drove forward, with the curtain swaying slightly, I could also see the pedestrians coming and going outside, I looked carefully, but there was no more Alan's figure.

When I saw her, I didn't worry about it, their approach to being a thug is naturally different from ordinary people, but I still believe that she will definitely come to me and detoxify me.

It's just that......

I don't know if it's my delusion, compared to her enchanting and charming attitude all the way south, but still showing concern, just nodded at me, it seems to be a little cold.

Maybe it's my delusion.

This time, because Ping'er fainted, and my body was not suitable for a long journey in a day, the carriage stopped outside an annex on the outskirts of Yangzhou after driving for a while.

I'm not surprised.

Now that I have witnessed Pei Yuanxiu's control of Yangzhou Mansion, which is basically his territory, it is naturally not surprising that there is his hotel. This hotel still has his personal atmosphere, elegant and quiet, there are ravines flowing with clear springs under every eaves of the courtyard, and the hotel that greeted Fu Badai and Qinghan outside the city is very similar, the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves and the sound of gurgling water in the air make people more and more peaceful.

But I know that no matter how good the place to live, this moment can't make Ping'er feel better.

He was in a coma for a long time, and even though he was delirious, his brows were furrowed all the time, as if he had been burned by karmic fire in a dream, and he was so difficult that he kept grinding his teeth.

And the people from the government also quickly rushed to this annex, and it seems that Pei Yuanxiu left a message and asked them to report the case this time.

I heard them say that a few days ago, Gou Er went to the government to report my whereabouts, and those officials immediately sent people to Gu's house to search, although they did not find my whereabouts, but a few experienced officials felt the strangeness of the seventh sister-in-law, and also found that some of the kitchen structures were unreasonable, plus I came out to inquire more with the surrounding neighbors, and knew that the man in this family had not appeared for a long time, so the suspicion arose.

Later, Gou Er took people across the river to find me, which was naturally a matter of the south bank, and the official messenger on the north bank finally went to the seventh sister-in-law's house to search after observing for a few days.

I didn't expect that the seventh sister-in-law would use such a decisive means to ruin miè qiē.

The fire was so great that it burned many things, but it couldn't burn the truth. The bones found in the ruins, after examination, should be an adult man, the bones are blackened in many places, which is a sign of poisoning and death, and it is basically certain that this body is the head of the Gu family who has been missing for a long time - Gu Qi.

When I heard the news, I just felt a pang of pain in my heart.

I finally understood why Ping'er was so excited when she knew that I could cross the river, but the seventh sister-in-law was indifferent, and her attitude seemed very strange.

She had known for a long time that there was no way I could find her husband.

Perhaps she is more aware that the truth will be revealed.

Actually, I should have figured it out, didn't I?

Gu Qi went to the south bank to do goods, how could he have no money on him, how could he not come back for so long; Even the seventh sister-in-law, if she really wants to find it, how can she not find it, for her husband, even if she sells the house, works hard, and is cheeky to borrow a loan, it is not difficult to save ten taels of silver.

I just don't know, she escaped with this man without hesitation, gave birth to two children, and after all these years of hard work, she suddenly knew that her husband had another home on the south bank, and there were other women, and even, that woman had already conceived a child for him, what was her mood?

Under what kind of resolute belief did she have poisoned this pillow person who had been with her for many years.

Did she ever cry as she watched him struggle, in pain, swallowing his last breath little by little, and his body stiffened? Is there any regret, is there any pain more than him?

When those officials retreated, Pei Yuanxiu walked up to me and slowly squatted down and looked at me: "I knew I wouldn't let you come." ”

I shook my head slightly.

"Look at your face, so pale. Isn't it uncomfortable? As he spoke, he held out his hand to me, and I subconsciously stepped back a little, his hand stopped at a slight distance from my cheek, froze for a moment, and then let it go.

I didn't dare to look at him, I just kept my head down, and the tears could not flow, but my eyes were full and my vision was completely blurred.

As soon as it was qiē, it was all distorted and blurred.

It was a long time before he spoke, still in a gentle voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"I, what should I do," I said softly, "what should I do to make Ping'er feel better?" If I don't show up, isn't it a qiē that won't happen? Their family won't—"

Before he could finish speaking, he reached out and tapped his fingertips on my lips.

"Silly girl."

“……”

"When did you go to his house?"

“…… A few days ago. ”

"When did that woman kill her husband?"

"Years ago."

"So, it's not your fault. It doesn't matter if you show up or not, whether you go to her house or not, it won't change, the fact that she has killed her husband is already in front of you. ”

"But—"

"No, but." He interrupted me gently, looked into my eyes, and said solemnly: "Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky." There are no eternal secrets in this world. ”

"No, Forever Secret ......"

I muttered the phrase, and although it was just a simple sentence, it seemed to make me slowly relax, and his gentle words did iron out the unspeakable pain in my heart. I raised my head and wanted to thank him, but I saw Pei Yuanxiu's warm eyes were extremely solemn.
