Chapter 44: Wake up

The white cat circled around the boy and stretched out her warm tongue to lick his palm.

Chu Yanqing raised his hand to take it into his arms, hung his head, and said in a sympathetic voice: "Mother, I'm sorry ......"

This was not the time to escape, and Wangshu simply sat down beside him.

She thought about it for a long time, and said, "You keep saying that you killed your mother, is there any secret in this?"

"Secret?" Chu Yanqing laughed at herself, "I was born to only walk my dog and cause trouble, and I used to make her angry every day." It's just that I didn't expect ...... either."

His face was stunned, as if he was in a painful memory: "That day, I fought with a child of an official family, dragged him to the gambling house to discuss winning or losing, and finally won him with only a pair of obscene pants. At that time, I was complacent, thinking that I had a great deal of face, but I didn't know that when the man went back, he cried and complained to his father, who was an official, causing his father to send someone to the gambling house to find trouble. My father was completely tired of me because of this, and my mother also had a heart attack because of it. The illness came like a mountain, and her body collapsed like this, vomiting blood and ...... within a few days."

Chu Yanqing buried his face between his knees and couldn't cry.

Listening to him, it really seems like something that ordinary gentlemen can do, Wangshu frowned and was silent, listened to his crying gradually stopped, and continued to ask: "What happened to your gambling house since then?"

"Later, my father settled the matter with silver, and the thunder and rain in the official mansion were small, but he just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. ”

No wonder, if something really happened, how could her father lose himself to the gambling house, and they have been running a gambling house for many years, so they should be familiar with this kind of entanglement.

"Since you are usually a troublemaker, how could your mother suddenly have a heart attack because of you?"

These things are very reasonable, but if you look at them together, they are a little too logical, which makes Wangshu's heart a little weird.

"My mother has always had heart disease, and Song Langzhong said that she is only properly maintained on weekdays, so she rarely gets sick. I usually worry about her tiredness, but this time it was like a primer that broke her all at once......"

Seeing that he was about to feel sorry for himself again, Wangshu frowned: "You haven't thought that your mother's death may be strange?"

Thinking of Song Langzhong mentioned by the two, she decided to remind: "Does your mother have a maid named Qin Xiang?"

"How do you know?" Chu Yanqing returned to her senses and said in surprise, "She is my mother's eldest girl, after my mother died, she was too sad and didn't want to stay in the house to touch the scene, so she invited herself to return home." ”

As expected, Wang Shu snorted coldly: "You'd better find out where she went, and Song Langzhong." If it's any later, then your mother's death will really be an unsolvable mystery!"

As if to echo her words, the white cat, which was originally lying quietly in Chu Yanqing's arms, suddenly struggled and jumped down, rushing to Wangshu and whining.

......

Unknowingly, it has been more than ten days since he arrived in Chu's mansion, and Wangshu has stopped thinking of escaping, but he has become interested in Chu Yanqing.

Since she woke up, she has not had the slightest sense of closeness to the so-called father and mother, and after staying in Chu Mansion these days, she feels more and more like a passerby, and it is difficult to integrate into this world.

If you have ever felt strange, only Chu Yanqing is it.

But she had tested him before, and judging from his reaction, it seemed that the two had not met before.

That's weird.

"Hey, have you heard?

"What's all the fuss about?"

Not far away, two maids whispered.

I don't know when Wangshu found that he had five senses. It's just a pity that as a pulp washing girl, these skills are not of much use, but I have listened to a lot of gossip in my spare time.

In the past, when she heard this kind of thing, she usually skipped it directly, but this time she suddenly heard a familiar name, and she couldn't help but get closer silently.

"You just said what happened to the eldest young master?"

"Didn't you say before that the eldest young master was angry with the eldest lady, guess what?"

couldn't wait for her companion to answer, and the maid hurriedly spoke: "As a result, he found Song Langzhong, and led the second young master to confront him face to face, saying that it was Aunt Chi and the second young master who collaborated to kill the eldest lady, and even dug out the medicine residue at that time!"

When the maid said this, she lowered her voice, and her tone was mysterious: "It is said that the poison was under Qinxiang's own hands, it is really evil, that Qinxiang said before that she wanted to return home, she must have done something bad and was afraid of revealing her stuffing, but she didn't expect to die on the road in the end." ”

She sighed: "Those of us who are maids must not be involved in the master's affairs! I heard that Qinxiang's body was unrecognizable when it was found, and it was her parents who recognized the birthmark on her body and confirmed that it was her. ”

Speaking of this, both of them covered their mouths and exclaimed, not daring to say any more.

didn't expect Chu Yanqing's movements to be so fast, Wangshu put away his mind and left quietly.

......

The courtyard was still silent, no one came during the day, and no one approached at night, even the cat, who now did not know where to hide.

Wangshu stood under the tree, remembering what happened here that night, and felt a little emotion in his heart.

This Chu Yanqing's matter is solved, so what about her?

The wind blew on her face at night, and she closed her eyes and felt the faint fragrance of grass and trees.

Living a chaotic life in Chu Mansion is definitely not what she wants, so what about leaving Chu Mansion?

Going home? Obviously impossible.

If she goes back, she will not be starved to death, then she will be sold back again, after all, she is not free in this world......

Freely?!

Wangshu only felt a flash of light, didn't all she wanted to be free all the time?

Her chest was pounding, and she couldn't even wait to go outside and walk around the world!

No wonder.

When others kept camping and wanted to make a steady progress, she only felt bored.

Trapped in this side of the house, even if it is a master?

Even Chu Yanqing, isn't she depressed and unable to be free?

It was as if a firework exploded in the chest, washing away the knots that had been staggering for days.

At this moment, it seemed that something strange was happening in her body, she meditated hard, and she couldn't say why, only that the night dew on the leaves fell to her ears, and she couldn't help but touch her wet left ear.

"You're here too?"

Wangshu turned around, not knowing when Chu Yanqing arrived in the hospital.

But it was expected to meet him, she was about to reconfirm the feeling when she saw him, and seeing that there was no depression between his eyebrows, she said, "I heard that your matter has been satisfactorily resolved?"

Chu Yanqing laughed, and her low laughter looked very bleak at night: "It proves that they did it, my mother will never come back." ”

"At the end of the day, I'm stupid and I don't know if I'm being used. His voice was extremely cold, "What's even more stupid is that I only now understand that my own father would watch others frame his wife with a cold eye, how much do you say he hates my mother?"

He laughed angrily.

When Wangshu heard this, he was shocked for a while, but he didn't expect that there would be this layer.

"Is this God's ridiculous punishment for the first half of my life?" he said sadly, but his eyes were dry and tearless, "If this is the case, then I accept my fate!"

After knowing the truth, there was no pleasure of slashing the enemy, only the despair of being betrayed by his relatives, and the last bit of light in his eyes dimmed.

Seeing him like this, Wang Shu was very anxious in his heart, panicked, and shouted: "No, this is not fate!"

"This is definitely not fate! Even if it is fate, it must be changed against the sky!"

It was as if to say to him, as if to tell herself, her voice was clear, oscillating back and forth in the lonely courtyard.

As these words roared out, Wangshu only felt a tidal wave of memories rushing to him, and couldn't help but close his eyes.

I don't know how much time it is, as if a long time has passed, and as if in an instant, she opened her eyes and looked at the figure opposite.

"Chu Yanqing, are you still unwilling to wake up?"
