Even though she listened to her grandfather's reasoning, Wen Xin still felt scared. She naturally thought that she was just a woman, how could she bear the responsibilities of a man? How could she, a woman, bear such a large family fortune of the Wen family?
stand up?
The fear and sadness of the drastic changes in front of us, as well as the fear of the unknown future, emerged in my heart at the same time, brewing into an inexplicable and huge pressure.
She had always been well protected, but suddenly she was under so much pressure that she could only describe her mood as "horrified".
She shook her head: "Grandpa, Xin'er can't do it. Xin'er can't do it. Grandpa, you will be fine. You will definitely be fine." Then she turned back to Wen Kui and begged: "Grandpa Kui, please find a doctor quickly. Find a doctor quickly and save him."
Grandpa!"
Wen Kui was speechless.
Wen Qian: "Grandpa is dying, don't let him die with his eyes open. Girl, letting you inherit the position of head of the family is not a hasty act, but a difficult decision made after long-term consideration and judgment. Grandpa has been observing you for many years, you can do it
, muster up the courage, rely on your character and mind, you will be able to take responsibility in due course.
The reason why I didn’t tell you this earlier was to protect you, otherwise you would have become the target of public criticism, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to escape this time.
Don't cry, the matter has come to this, there is no point in crying, you have to face it, you have to remember some words.
Listen carefully, since grandpa has made a decision, since he has decided to hand over the Wen family to you, it means that on behalf of the entire Wen family, he has made a crucial decision related to the fate of the Wen family.
In the future, you will have your own family and your own children. If one day in the future you want to pass on the Wen family business to your own descendants, as long as you can do it, that's okay. There is no eternal life in the world.
A fading family will disappear sooner or later.
For Qinglian Mountain, even if they are tired of the Wen family, they still have to cherish their reputation. If the Wen family destroys the thousand-year inheritance, it will be a matter of two things for them. Grandpa also took advantage of their
This mentality has pushed you, the daughter, to the position of heir.
Of course, if you feel that there is someone worthy of entrusting the Wen family business to the Wen family’s descendants, and you are willing to let the Wen family’s descendants continue to be in charge, that’s fine too!
If you pass your family business to your descendants, your descendants will remember the achievements you created. If you pass your family business to the descendants of the Wen family, the descendants of the Wen family will also respect your merits. Grandpa failed to take good care of your father.
Mom, I don’t have the chance to get you married now, so just think of this as the last dowry your grandpa will give you!
There are many other things that grandpa has recorded in the secret chamber of the tunnel. The ring on your hand can open the secret chamber. Go there to learn all the secrets of this family."
Wen Xin was confused after hearing this. She burst into tears and gradually broke down in sobs. She grabbed his hand and asked, "Grandpa, who is harming us? Why are you doing this to us?"
Wen Miao: "Don't be sad, don't be sad. This is the thousand-year destiny of my Wen family. Whenever the family business is passed on, all kinds of weird things happen, but the bloody storms are nothing. Who is the murderer? You will
I saw Kuizi…”
Wen Kui leaned over and said, "Master."
"Ahem..." Wen Qiang choked out some blood, "Outsiders can't easily do such tricks in Wen's house. There must be an insider! It's hard to guard against domestic thieves day and night. We still don't know what the situation is.
It’s unclear how many people were involved internally. Could there be people from Qinglian Mountain also involved?
After my death, your identity will make it difficult to control the situation. If you announce that this woman is the heir of the Wen family, no one will believe it. Instead, they will mistakenly think that you have some agenda. People with evil intentions will definitely take the opportunity to put you and the girl in harm's way.
Death place.
Quizi, before announcing my death, send the girl secretly into the tunnel, otherwise the girl may be in danger. Don't let her show up until the master is not here to take charge of the situation and cannot frighten Xiaoxiao."
Wen Kui: "Okay. However, I am a little worried. What if the head of Qinglian Mountain changes his attitude after he arrives? I am afraid that the young lady will fall into a place of no return."
Wen Qian said feebly: "There is no need to worry too much. If Qinglian Mountain dares to break his promise, an expert will take away the girl. Qinglian Mountain cannot stop her. Someone will send the girl to Mr. Yuwen. With Mr. Yuwen's
With such influence, Qinglian Mountain doesn’t dare to act recklessly, but it can keep the girl safe!”
Seeing that the old man had plans for a backup plan, Wen Kui calmed down his somewhat confused mind and nodded: "Old slave, I understand."
“Xin’er…”
"grandfather."
“Before the head of Qinglian Mountain arrives, hide in the tunnel and don’t come out.”
Wen Xin, whose face was full of tears, was a little confused. What was the meaning?
Wen Qiang's face suddenly glowed with red, his eyes became brighter, and his voice became much clearer, "Xin'er, before the incident, you suddenly left the table and were suddenly called away by Song Pingping. What happened?"
Wen Xin wiped away tears and said, "Sister Pingping said she had something interesting to show me."
“What’s something fun?”
“I didn’t see it. When we got to the pavilion by the lake, Sister Pingping said that his senior brother would bring the things later, but something happened before he could get the things.”
Wen Qiao closed her eyes and panted for a while, and finally said with her eyes closed: "Kuizi, someone has to deliver meals to the girl while she is in the tunnel. Song Pingping, ask her to deliver meals to the girl in secret."
"Yes." Wen Kui said in agreement, but there was a look of surprise in his eyes. Song Pingping was not the right person to keep this secret. Was he going to be executed afterwards? So he couldn't help but ask.
, "Master, do you want to deal with the aftermath?"
Wen Miao: "If you are willing to protect the girl, you will be fine. Whether you want to deal with the aftermath or not, I will leave some decisions to the girl to make her own decision in the future..." The voice became smaller and smaller, and finally there was no sound, and there was no movement, except for the mouth.
The blood stains looked like he was asleep.
Wen Xin, who was holding her grandfather's hand, noticed something. She looked at her grandfather in horror and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing her grandfather's sleep.
It was Wen Kui who tried to call out: "Master, Master..." He slowly stretched out his hand to smell Kuan Kuai's breath, and found that Wen Kuai, who had white hair and beard, had no breath. He immediately looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, then took a few steps back and knelt down.
I kowtowed a few times and concluded the long-standing relationship between master and servant.
Without waiting for Wen Xin's final emotional outburst, he quickly stood up and warned, "Miss, although this is your home, for you at this time, this home is the most dangerous place in the world. You must keep silent, and you must not let others
I know the master has already passed. Time is running out, so bite on and follow me..."
Regardless of whether Wen Xin wanted to or not, he directly put a towel into Wen Xin's mouth to prevent her from crying, and then forcibly dragged away the whimpering Wen Xin...
A garden suddenly became blazing with fire inside and outside, and was suddenly surrounded by a group of people.
In the garden, You Lingluo, who was walking out of the door, frowned when he saw the mixed scene of officers and soldiers and people in civilian clothes.
An official walked out, "Are you You Lingluo, the steward of Bihai Shipping Company?"
You Lingluo said in a deep voice: "It's me! What do you want to do when you break into a private house without permission?"
The official said expressionlessly: "During the Wen family dinner, someone suddenly poisoned me. Even the head of the Wen family is dying. There are some things that I would like to find out from you. Could you please come with us?"
"What?" You Lingluo was shocked, "Wen Qiang was also poisoned?"
The official waved his hand and shouted: "Take them all away!"
A group of officers and soldiers rushed up like wolves and tigers and detained You Lingluo and others. You Lingluo signaled his men not to resist, and they were taken away obediently...
An inn in the city was also surrounded by officers and soldiers, and a large group of people gathered outside the inn door to watch the excitement.
Qin Jue and Cui You were also pushed out by the officers and soldiers, but they also did not resist and were taken away in full view of everyone...
In the second room of Wen Mansion, Mrs. Wen Guo was lying on the couch, her face was pale and ugly, but she finally recovered.
His maid quickly walked in from the door and reported in a low voice: "Madam, I'm sure, the master of the house has gone."
Wen Guo's eyes suddenly lit up, and she struggled to get up, "Let's go!"
In a courtyard, the ground was filled with corpses. Butler Wen Kui stood among the corpses and looked around. He couldn't help but feel desolate on his face. It was so miserable.
Starting from the head of the family, Wen Jiantang, to his wife Wen Rong, three sons, a daughter and son-in-law, as well as several grandchildren, granddaughters and grandsons, they all died without being able to be saved, including Wen Yanan, a new Jinshi scholar.
Inside.
Wen Jianming, the head of the second house, his daughter Wen Hui, his son-in-law, and his grandson and granddaughter, all lay quietly on the ground with dark faces.
The head of the family heard about Miao's two married daughters, two sons-in-law, several grandchildren and their daughters-in-law, as well as their granddaughters and their husbands-in-law, plus a group of great-grandchildren. Nearly thirty people were lying quietly on the ground.
More than fifty people died in total, and the descendants of Wen Kuan were almost completely wiped out.
After hearing the report of the situation, Wen Kui suddenly asked in surprise: "Have the second wife, the two young masters and their children been rescued?"
"Yes." A guard explained: "After asking, luckily among the misfortunes, they just ate a lot of food before the banquet, and they didn't eat anything at the banquet. The poisoning may be mild because of this, which can be regarded as a rescue.
Come over here."
Wen Kui immediately had doubts, but when he turned around and saw the body of the second wife’s head, and then saw the bodies of the second wife’s daughter, son-in-law, and child, he became doubtful again.
“After experimenting with domestic animals, we have basically determined the way the poison is released. The poison in the banquet, wine and food still cannot be detected. It is not toxic at all if it does not take effect. Once it is activated by poisonous smoke, it immediately becomes a deadly poison.”
Wen Kui's cheeks tensed up, and he finally confirmed the reason why Wen Xin escaped the disaster, and asked, "Have you caught the person who lit the fire and set off the smoke?"
The guard said: "We caught two ordinary servants who were also poisoned by the same poison. When we found them, they were already in a coma and basically out of breath. The mastermind behind the scenes had a clever design. They were poisoned by the same poison first.
Poison, when they lit a fire to burn the poison, they must have inhaled it first. By the time the banquet party reacted and found them, it was already too late. They had been silenced. No one knew who asked them to light the fire. It was very likely that even they themselves
