Jiao Zhong patted Baoer's back and sootheed Baoer's emotions.

A thunder exploded in the sky, and the wind and rain became heavier, and even Jiao Zhong felt a little chill.

Jiao Zhong looked at Gu Mingzhu and Baotong: "Who is the eldest lady talking about?" The eldest lady just went to see Zhengu's illness. Could it be that the one who said Zhengu?

Baotong said: "Zhengu, Zhengu is dead."

Baoer opened his lips and said in a weak voice: "Die, die." It seemed like he was repeating Baotong's words, and it seemed like he was muttering to himself.

Jiao Zhong sighed long and said, "Are you going too late? If I hadn't heard Baoer just now, I wouldn't have known Zhen Gu was sick. I would have known that... I would have asked someone to take care of her earlier."

"Zhen Gu didn't die of illness," Baotong interrupted Jiao Zhong's words, "She..."

Although Baotong didn't make it clear, her eyes were strange.

Jiao Zhong seemed to realize something, and his hair stood up.

Jiao Zhong said: "Then she..."

Gu Mingzhu kept looking at Bao'er in Jiao Zhong's arms. When Bao'er heard this, she clasped her hands tighter, but as if she wanted to determine something, she turned her face and looked at Baotong tremblingly.

Baotong nodded: "When the eldest lady and I went in, I saw a lot of blood on the bed. Zhengu's wrist was cut and the blood was flowing out. He had already died."

Jiao Zhong seemed to have seen the scene, and was stunned for a while before coming to his senses: "What's going on? Is it... she can't figure it out herself, or is it someone... but has the manager in the yard reported to the official?"

Baotong nodded: "I've reported to the official."

After hearing Zhengu's death, Baoer seemed even more nervous, and her whole face buried in Jiao Zhong's arms again, without any movement for a while.

Gu Mingzhu looked at Baotong.

Baotong knew how to go forward: "Baoer, do you know why Zhengu died?"

Jiao Zhong was very surprised. Unexpectedly, the Gu family would ask Baoer. How could Baoer know this? He was about to reply to Baoer when he felt a pain in his arm and Baoer's hand clenched into his flesh.

Baoer has always been brave and often runs around the roof of Anjiyuan. When Anjiyuan dies, Baoer will come over to see what's wrong today?

"Baoer," Jiao Zhong said, "What's wrong with you?"

Baoer's face was pale? It seemed as if he was muttering to himself: "I don't know... I didn't see anything? I don't know."

Jiao Zhong frowned, if Baoer didn't know anything? He shouldn't have said such words.

Jiao Zhongzheng was thinking about how to ask Baoer? Gu Chongyi's voice came from outside the house: "Where is the eldest lady? Is it in the house?"

The manager of the Gu family opened the door, and Gu Chongyi walked in? His eyes turned around the room and immediately fell on Gu Mingzhu's face? Seeing Zhuzhu safe and sound? Gu Chongyi's frown slightly loosened a little.

"Marty..."

Another voice sounded, and then Mr. Tan also walked into the house.

When Baoer in Jiao Zhong's arms saw Mr. Tan's San's face suddenly turned paler, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Mr. Tan seemed not to notice this? He said straight: "The carriage is ready? You should protect the female family and go back first."

Baoer's lips were already blue and he shrank motionlessly, not daring to make any noise.

There is something strange. Gu Mingzhu went to see Mr. Tan San at the door. Why was Baoer afraid of Mr. Tan San?

Gu Chongyi nodded? Looking at Gu Mingzhu: "Zhuzhu and daddy go home!"

Gu Mingzhu walked obediently to Gu Chongyi, Baotong stepped forward to serve Gu Mingzhu in a straw raincoat and a straw hat? Mr. Tan San stood beside him politely, never looking at Miss Gu.

Jiao Zhong also got up and saw him off? As soon as he moved, he found that Baoer was pulling his clothes.

"No need to send it," Gu Chongyi said? "Take good care of the children."

Jiao Zhong hurriedly bowed to thank him.

Gu Chongyi stopped talking? He walked out of the house with Zhuzhu? Mr. Tan also walked out with him.

There were no one else in the room, and Jiao Zhong then asked Baoer: "Baoer, what's wrong with you? Do you know something? Have you gone to the yard of the female family?"

Baoer in the quilt said nothing, but just shrank there with her big eyes open. In the silence, she seemed to have a hand that would stretch out at any time, turning him into Zhen Gu's appearance.

Gu Chongyi took Zhuzhu onto the carriage.

"Hold on for a while, you'll get home soon." After Gu Chongyi said that, he turned around and was about to leave the car.

"Dad."

A crisp sound rang out, Gu Chongyi turned his head and saw Zhuzhu's big eyes looking at him, as if he had something to say.

Gu Chongyi bent down tacitly.

Zhuzhu gently said in Gu Chongyi's ear: "Dad, Baoer seems to be very scared."

Gu Chongyi didn't understand what his daughter meant for a moment. Baotong continued: "Marty, it's true. Baoer might know something. First, he asked the eldest lady to see Zhen Gu's illness. When he heard that Zhen Gu was dead, he seemed to have something to say.

Just as Mr. Tan entered the door, Baoer became more and more afraid. Will it be..."

Gu Chongyi's expression changed slightly but he quickly recovered as usual: "The child heard that people were afraid of death. Don't think about it. These things will be left to the yamen."

Baotong wanted to say something else, but Gu Mingzhu nodded and hugged the stove in her hand.

Gu Chongyi jumped out of the carriage, as if he didn't take his daughter and Baotong's words to heart. He took the reins from the servant and turned over the horse, protecting the carriage and leaving Anjiyuan.

...

Mr. Tan was standing at the gate of Anjiyuan until the Gu family had no trace of their carriages. Then he turned to look at Baoer's house where he was recovering from.

He saw Baoer's reaction just now when he walked into the room.

"Go and tell my uncle that Mr. Gu is gone, so please ask my uncle to go home earlier. I will go to court later. I will rest assured that I will leave the matter here to me."

The manager of the Tan family responded when he heard Mr. Tan's words and walked quickly to the yard.

Mr. Tan turned his head and the lights in Baoer's room were dim.

...

Bao'er couldn't sleep anymore. He closed his eyes and could see the tears on Zhengu's face, and then Zhengu's plea: "Please, please, I don't want to die."

But Zhengu is still dead.

He won't say it out, otherwise he will be the next person to die.

Jiao Zhong went out to fetch water, and the room gradually became quiet. Baoer wanted to stretch out his head and take a look, why did his father not come back after a while?

"What's your name? Baoer?"

A sound suddenly rang.

Baoer froze and his face was full of horror.

"Baoer, why did you fall and get hurt? You were on the roof that day, right? I shouted, and you ran away in fear. What did you hear?"

Baoer shook like a sieve: "I...I didn't hear anything, I saw nothing."

Baoer felt the quilt being pulled down: "I know you heard it, so you asked Miss Gu to see Mrs. Zhen, right?"
