Chapter 339: The Truth About Grandfather's Death
Ru Xiaonan sat there and moved around, as if she couldn't find a comfortable position. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast.
Qing Moyan's brows furrowed, "Don't 'mess' around, otherwise you will bear the consequences." β
Ru Xiaonan froze there in fright, and no longer dared to 'mess' around.
"Tell me about you. Qing Moyan said seriously.
"What, what's the matter?"
"Your business in the other world. β
Ru Xiaonan was stunned.
This was the second time he had taken the initiative to ask himself about modern times, the first time asking about her identity.
"What do you want to know?"
"Your grandfather, the one who adopted you, how did he die. β
This sentence was like a black curtain, and suddenly it came down.
Ru Xiaonan's breathing suddenly increased.
Qing Moyan stared at her eyes seriously, refusing to miss any of her expressions.
"Yes...... He died of illness. Ru Xiaonan stammered, and her tongue was like a knot.
Qing Moyan looked at her quietly, "Are you sure?"
"Good...... Seems like yes......"
"Why do you say it like?"
Ru Xiaonan bit her lip, as if she was about to cry.
Qing Moyan pulled her towards herself, making her whole prostrate on her body.
Ru Xiaonan forgot the embarrassment of body release, and lay there, her whole body stiff like a piece of wood.
Qing Moyan gently stroked her back, "Little thing, don't lie to yourself, tell me the truth, okay?"
The truth?
Ru Xiaonan raised her little head and looked at him.
Qing Moyan was close to her, and her blank expression was clearly reflected in her black and white eyes.
"Did your grandfather really die of illness?"
Ru Xiaonan's eyes blinked.
She recalls suddenly receiving a call from her third uncle in college, saying that her grandfather had passed away.
She was there at the time, and she didn't even realize that her phone had fallen to the ground.
She left school the same day, and although she had graduated, she had not officially left the school, so she bought a ticket in advance to rush back.
When she returned to town three days later, the third uncle called to say that the funeral was over.
She was late.
When she rushed to the mountain, all she saw was the mourning hall, the tablet, and the black 'colored' urn.
Ignoring the obstruction of the third uncle and the rest of the family, she jumped up and hugged the urn and had to open it.
When they came to stop her, she was told that her grandfather had fallen ill while purifying a family of spirits, and had died within two days of returning.
She hugged the urn as if she was crazy, whoever came to grab her would fight with whomever she wanted, and everyone didn't want to come forward anymore, so she held the urn and shrunk in the corner and cried until the sky was dark.
Did my grandfather die of illness?
She didn't see it with her own eyes.
"I don't know, I didn't see it, they told me he was sick and dead. Ru Xiaonan seemed to wake up from a dream, hugged Qing Moyan's neck and cried loudly, "That's what they told me, but I don't believe it, I don't believe it......"
Qing Moyan didn't expect her reaction to be so 'fierce' and startled.
Originally, he just wanted to test and connect her words with those of Mushroom Yuan, but he didn't expect his words to touch the fact that she had never dared to admit before.
How could the old god stick die of illness!
Ru Xiaonan threw herself on him and cried with tears on her face, but fortunately they were in the pool, Qing Moyan washed her little face with water, and finally he had to fish her out of the pool.
"If you cry any longer, the water in the pool will become salty. β
Ru Xiaonan buried her face in his shoulder, 'pumping' and 'pumping'.
Qing Moyan wiped the water on the two of them, wrapped her in her middle coat and went back to the bedroom.
Ru Xiaonan didn't raise her face until she lay down in the quilt, and her tone calmed down, "Do you want to know what happened later?"
Qing Moyan was stunned, "Have you ever investigated?"
β...... Otherwise, I will not be reconciled. She muttered.
Qing Moyan twisted her wet hair with a cotton cloth, "If you want to say it, just say it." β
After crying, Ru Xiaonan felt that her mood was much better, and when she mentioned this matter before, she always felt like a big stone pressed against her chest.
Now that feeling is gone.
"I went to the house that had entrusted my grandfather with cleansing the spirits, but when I found it, I found that there was only an empty house left. β
Qing Moyan listened silently and did not answer.
He already knew what happened after that, and Mushroom Yuan told him everything.
Whether it was him or the old man, they didn't want to tell her the truth.
Ru Xiaonan looked into the void, her green cat's eyes were full of fear, "I entered that house alone...... There was blood everywhere, on the walls, on the floor, on the furniture...... ...... everywhere"
Qing Moyan stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, but she continued to speak in a flat tone.
"Then I found in that room a small piece of fabric that had been torn from my grandfather's garment, which he had worn for years, and which I recognized as a broken piece of material, covered with blood......
Qing Moyan regretted it.
He didn't want her to talk anymore, but she didn't want to stop.
She had been silent for too long, had deceived herself for too long, and now that she finally had a chance to say it, she could not stop any longer.
Qing Moyan sighed silently, and could only hug her and listen to her babbling for most of the night.
The next morning, when Ru Xiaonan woke up, she only felt that her mood was extremely comfortable, as if the turbidity that had accumulated for many years was completely wiped out.
But when she got out of bed, she found that her eyes couldn't be opened, and she was half-squinted wherever she looked.
"Qing Moyan, what happened last night, you hit me?" Ru Xiaonan asked Qing Moyan with a serious face.
Qing Moyan covered her face with her hands and shook with a smile.
"Why don't you speak?" Ru Xiaonan went to pull his arm, and when her hand touched his body, she realized that he was holding back a smile.
"You go and look in the mirror. Qing Moyan pointed to the dresser not far away.
Ru Xiaonan got out of the bed, sat in front of the mirror in a daze, and when she saw the person in the mirror clearly, she let out an "ah".
Who is the goldfish-like man with swollen eyes in the mirror!
Qing Moyan stayed here in Shifang Town for another five days, and then took Ru Xiaonan and left in the carriage again.
The old man of Mushroom Yuan stayed in the county lord's mansion, and Qing Moyan secretly told General Wu to keep an eye on him, for fear that he would get drunk and say something that he shouldn't say to make people hear.
The long hatred is still followed by Qing Moyan, she still has an errand in Dali Temple, and she can't leave it alone.
They were accompanied by a messenger who had been ordered by the emperor to come to Shifang Town to deliver a decree and send a dowry for Ru Xiaonan.
Ru Xiaonan sat in the carriage and saw Qing Moyan standing outside talking to a handsome and well-dressed young man.
"Who is that person?" Ru Xiaonan quietly asked Xuan 'Yu', who was guarding outside the car.
Xuan 'Yu' glanced at it and said in a low voice, "That's the fifth prince, Yu Yuanjun." β
"Fifth Prince, what is he doing here?" said Ru Xiaonan, puzzled.
"He is the one who escorted your dowry to Shifang Town this time. Xuan 'Yu' said, at the end, he hesitated for a moment, and added, "The fifth prince seems to want to 'befriend' with the prince, so this errand may have been discussed by himself in front of the emperor." β
