Chapter 203: Du Lou Village and the Divorced Lady (20)

"That's right, it's him." Ghostface readily admitted. "If the sister-in-law of the Yuan family just snatched Chai Suying, the concubine of the Yuan family would not retaliate. If the sister-in-law of the Yuan family just abandoned Chai Suying's mother and son, the concubine of the Yuan family might not want his life. But in fact, Chai Suying's death was not suicide, and the child was not frozen to death and starved to death as told in Miss Du's story. Their mother and son were poisoned, and they committed suicide after being poisoned. As for who the poisoner is, I guessed a few people. That's right, it is Yuan Mei's wife, the biological mother of the Yuan family's son-in-law, and the mother-in-law of the thin lover. ”

"This story is really full of twists and turns, but what about later?"

After the death of the Yuan family's sister-in-law, Yuan Mei took the initiative to welcome Xiaochan's mother and son into the door, and let the Yuan family's concubine, who had been exiled for many years, recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and inherited all the family business of the Yuan family. Later, the concubine of the Yuan family also married the girl that the sister-in-law of the Yuan family originally wanted to marry, further consolidating his position in the Yuan family. ”

"Later, he killed his own father and mother-in-law?" As soon as Bai Li finished asking, he felt that something was wrong here: "This Yuan family concubine should have no reason to kill his own father." The sister-in-law of the Yuan family is dead, even if there is a mother-in-law, without a son to rely on, there will be no turmoil in the Yuan family. If he really wants to deal with this concubine, he only needs to find a reason to imprison her, why should he kill her? Choosing to kill people at that juncture is only bad and not good for him. A shrewd man like him would never make such a stupid mistake. ”

"Of course he wouldn't make such a stupid mistake, so Yuan Mei was not killed by the Yuan family's concubine, but Mrs. Yuan." The ghost-faced man continued: "The son died, and the husband took the woman and the child who had been raised outside for many years back home, and the family business that he had worked hard for many years became someone else's in a blink of an eye, and it was replaced by the white girl, can you be willing?" ”

"Unwilling." Bai Li nodded: "Of course I am not reconciled." ”’

"After all, Mrs. Yuan is from an official family, not an ordinary rural village woman, and she will only cry and make a fuss when she encounters this kind of thing. She is still the same as before, wanting to get rid of Xiaochan without knowing it, get rid of the unsightly concubine of the Yuan family, and even get rid of her husband. But the concubine of the Yuan family is not Xiaochan when he was young, he was born in such an environment, even if he is pure and good-natured, he will inevitably have to be a little guarded. So, he planned to take the opportunity to get rid of Mrs. Yuan.

The praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, and none of them expected that every move of both sides was watched by Yuan Mei. The poison was drunk by Yuan Mei herself.

He felt that all the fault of the Yuan family was on him alone, if he hadn't married his wife against his will in order to protect Xiaochan, he would not have let his wife hate because of love, and it would be difficult for Xiaochan everywhere. Although he married a wife, he never treated his wife wholeheartedly, nor did he treat his eldest son wholeheartedly. He believes that everything Mrs. Yuan did was caused by him, even his own son, who died because of him.

For Xiaochan's mother and son, he also felt guilty, seeing that the two sides were about to fight to the death again, he could only choose to punish himself and use his death to resolve the grievances and hatreds that had existed in the Yuan family for many years. But what everyone didn't expect was that soon after Yuan Mei's death, Mrs. Yuan also committed suicide. ”

From this point of view, it is obvious that Mrs. Yuan loves this Yuan Mei a little more. That Xiaochan didn't have the deep affection for him that Yuan Mei imagined. At the beginning, if it wasn't for the people of the Yuan family who framed Xiaochan's family, but Xiaochan chose another son-in-law, maybe there would have been all these tragedies that happened later. ”

"I've guessed the same thing, but facts are facts, and they can't be changed by assumptions." The ghost-faced man stared at the mural on the wall: "Yuan Mei is dead, Mrs. Yuan is also dead, and the huge Yuan family has fallen into the hands of Xiaochan and the Yuan family." At that time, there was a lot of discussion among people outside, saying that the death of Yuan Mei and his wife was secretly carried out by Xiaochan's mother and son, in order to plot the property of the Yuan family. Although this Mrs. Yuan is dead, her mother's power still exists. Those people didn't really want to seek justice for this Mrs. Yuan, but wanted to take advantage of this matter to occupy the Yuan family's property. In desperation, Xiaochan's mother and son could only hide the true wealth of the Yuan family and move their family. ”

"And where did they move to?"

"I originally wanted to move to the Jiangnan area, but I was intercepted and killed by Mrs. Yuan's family halfway through, and there were more than ten people up and down the Yuan family, and I didn't even leave a single living mouth."

"There wasn't a single live mouth left, so where did you come from?" Bai Li held his chin and looked at the ghost-faced man.

"What I'm talking about is that the Yuan family members who moved to Jiangnan are all dead, and none of them are left alive, but one of the Yuan family members who didn't move survived. That person is my father, and he is also the widow of the Yuan family's concubine. Remember our previous story? The concubine of the Yuan family was married, and he was married to the daughter of a large family. The Yuan family moved, the road was bumpy, and Xiaochan's mother and son couldn't bear to let her suffer, so they thought about waiting to settle down before coming back to pick her up. I thought that they all died on the way to Jiangnan. The Yuan family only left such a little bloodline, and only a few words were left about the wealth that the Yuan family had hidden.

My dad only found out about this when my grandmother died, and for decades afterward, he spent the decades searching for the Yuan family's hidden gold and silver jewelry. It's a pity that he searched for it all his life, but he couldn't find it. What my father can't find, I, as a son, can only continue to look for it. Luckily, I was lucky, and although I went around and around, I still found it. ”

"Congratulations!" Bai Li stood up: "It's really hard for you people from the Yuan family." ”

"It's a bit of a dilemma." The ghost-faced man said: "This man died for money, and the bird died for." No matter how tightly the Yuan family's gold, silver and jewelry are hidden, they can't hide from those villains with ill intentions. Do you think the story that Miss Du heard was just a pastime after tea and dinner? No, someone is deliberately spreading this story, and someone is deliberately reminding everyone that when the Yuan family left Liyang, they did not take away most of the Yuan family's wealth, they only took away a little bit, and the rest is still hidden in the land of Liyang. ”

"What about these murals, and what happened in Dulou Village......"

"It's all about us, but we didn't design it alone, we just took advantage of the dark psychology of those people a little bit." The ghost-faced man stretched out his hand and gestured, and he could hear that he meant to show off a little: "Okay, now is the time to witness the true wealth of the Yuan family." Several, you're all lucky. ”

The ghost-faced man said, twisting an ever-bright lamp on the wall. With a rumbling sound, a downward staircase appeared on the otherwise flat ground. The staircase connected to another chamber.

The ghost-faced man triumphantly stepped on the steps into the secret room, but Bai Li and the others all stood still and did not move. They waited for a long time, expecting the Ghostface to come up with a pile of gold, silver and jewelry, but what they didn't expect to hear was a very miserable wail. When they descended the steps, they found that the stone room below was filled with the smell of rotting paper.

The Yuan family did hoard a lot of money, but it was not real money, but silver tickets, boxes of silver tickets. In fact, this is not difficult to guess, because when the Yuan family left, they did not think that they would not come back, but thought that it would be better to carry the gold, silver and jewelry into silver tickets. But decades have passed, and the ancient tomb is wet and damp, and the Yuan family did not do anything special at the beginning, but just put the silver ticket in the box at will. Those silver tickets have been gnawed by snakes, insects, rats and ants, and eroded by moisture, and they have all turned into waste paper.

Seeing this, Bai Li and the others didn't have the heart to continue to stay in this ancient tomb to explore the secrets, and took advantage of the time when the ghost-faced man was still crazy, and they all left the ancient tomb and returned to Dulou Village.

"Bai Ze, you said that the grain in the ancient tomb was put by the Du family, or by the Yuan family."

"It should have been placed by the Yuan family in order to confuse the tomb robbers who strayed into the ancient tomb. So much food, in the eyes of ordinary tomb robbers, can be regarded as a wealth. ”

"Because it's a tomb thief, the food is poisonous, right?" Bai Li turned around and looked in the direction of the ancient tomb: "This Yuan family ...... It's your own retribution! ”
