Mr. Dong stepped into the hall, all the anger and sadness on his face disappeared, replaced by gloom.
"father."
Madam Dong's voice came from outside the door. Because it was so sudden, she didn't even change out of her bright clothes and walked in quickly, looking surprised.
"The damn ghost is dead?"
Looking at his daughter's expression and hearing these words, Mr. Dong became so angry that he raised his hand and slapped her.
Mrs. Dong was stunned.
"Dad, what are you doing?" she shouted, covering her face.
Mr. Dong stretched out his hand and lit her.
"It's all you!" he shouted, "It's all your fault!"
Mrs. Dong has been pampered since she was a child and has a fierce temper. At this moment, she reacted by shaking her hands and stamping her feet.
"If I wanted to harm him, why should I wait until now?" she shouted without any sign of weakness.
"You might as well kill him earlier, and save yourself from harming more people now." Mr. Dong shouted in a deep voice.
"Dad." Madam Dong said angrily, "Who did I harm?"
"You harmed Xu Maoxiu, and then you harmed Xiang Qi. Our whole family will be next!" Master Dong shouted.
After hearing Xu Maoxiu, Mrs. Dong calmed down and no longer cared about being angry.
"Dad, are you angry?" she asked.
Mr. Dong threw away his hands and sat down, his expression becoming more and more gloomy.
"Dad, what happened?" Madam Dong asked, "Is Xiang Qizhen dead?"
"It's really dead." Mr. Dong said.
"Why did you die?" Madam Dong asked.
Mr. Dong looked up at her. Even if he heard that his man was really dead, there was no trace of sadness on his daughter's face. Instead, there was a sense of relief from a heavy burden.
Mr. Dong seemed to have been drained of all his strength.
"It wasn't you who did it." He shook his head and said, "It was me who did it."
Lady Dong was even more confused after hearing this.
"Dad..." she shouted.
"I shouldn't have agreed to let Xiang Qi in out of anger." Mr. Dong said, shaking his head and smiling bitterly. "Sure enough, decisions made out of anger will have consequences in the future."
When he said this, he looked at Madam Dong, who wanted to ask more questions, and stretched out his hand to motion for her to sit down.
"Siniang," he said, "Don't be afraid of making a mistake. What you are afraid of is that there is no chance to make amends. Now, it is a matter of life and death for our Dong family."
A matter of life and death?
Madam Dong stared.
"Dad, did you beat Xiang Qi to death? Or in front of everyone? How could you be so confused?" she asked.
Although the status of the adopted son-in-law is low, the law stipulates that killing an adopted son without permission will lead to death. Of course, it doesn't matter how the family and family laws are dealt with in private. As long as you don't sue the official, you won't be held accountable. But that doesn't mean that you can do it in broad daylight on the street in public.
Kill people.
"I didn't beat him to death, he was killed by someone else," Mr. Dong said.
"Ah, who is so bold?" Madam Dong shouted, "I'm not done with him! I'm going to change my clothes right now, call my eldest brother and my second brother, and go cry in front of his door! He must not be able to stay in the capital any longer!"
"
Master Dong sneered.
"You are not done with her yet, she is going to be done with our family!" He said, "She can shoot gangsters, drive Zhu Wu to death, scare Dou Qi and his family out of the capital, from a peaceful residence to a fairy residence.
There is another Yichun Hall...Also, do you know whose Yichun Hall originally belonged to it?"
Mrs. Dong was stunned by the string of names she was talking about. When she heard the question, she shook her head blankly.
"Xiaoli Liu from Zhongshu's province," Mr. Dong said, "Other people don't know, and we business people don't know it? How long and secretly did Liu Xiaoli stretch his hands, and his property was actually taken away from him?
No…"
He said he would stop here.
"No, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, it must be like this, there is something strange about Mr. Liu's illness..." he said repeatedly.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you confused?" Madam Dong asked with a frown.
Could it be that the death of a son-in-law made my father collapse in grief? The words he said were so inconsistent that it made people confused.
"I don't know much. I know very well that if I mess with this person, I will definitely die." Mr. Dong said, taking a deep breath, "We are in big trouble this time. I was doubtful at first, but now I am asking Qi
If he dies, I will be sure that Xiang Qi is the one who hid Xu Maoxiu and the others."
Madam Dong stared, understanding this, and immediately jumped up.
"I just guessed it was this damn guy..." she shouted.
"It was Xiang Qi who concealed the accusation, but it was you who instigated all this!" Mr. Dong shouted, "If you don't listen to me, you will be the next one to die!"
Madam Dong held her heart and stared at her father.
"Bad fate." Mr. Dong exhaled and said, "If you hadn't been so infatuated with Xu Maoxiu, Xiang Qi wouldn't have secretly hated him so much that he did it. He just did it. It was just to vent his anger.
It's a little trick, but I didn't expect that being caught by an enemy and taking revenge would become a big deal. No wonder Taipingju is so angry that they murder Xiang Qihen."
Mrs. Dong was in a fog, still a little confused.
That's it? Just kill someone if you say so?
"One person?" Mr. Dong sneered, stretched out his palm, and turned it over, "Taipingju's subordinates can kill more than one person!"
Only then did Madam Dong understand the meaning of the string of words that Master Dong had just recited, and her face turned even paler.
"Dad, you mean, that little lady killed Xiang Qi?" She asked, "Didn't you say that Xiang Qi fell to death?"
That little lady?
A beauty who is delicate and thin at a young age and can fall down with just one blow?
kill?
"I don't want to know if it was her or how she did it, and I won't investigate. I just need to know that in her eyes, we are all damned people," Mr. Dong said.
"Now, what should we do now? Go and beg her?" Madam Dong asked, looking slightly flustered.
If her father told her that someone was going to kill them at other times, she would just think that her father was drunk, but now because of Xiang Qi's strange death, she had to believe it.
"Begging her? That will make you die faster!" Master Dong said.
"Then what should we do?" Madam Dong said.
Mr. Dong pondered for a moment.
"Now put on your clothes and take your eldest brother and second brother to cry to Qi," he said.
Madam Dong was stunned for a moment, why did she suddenly say this again?
"Dad, why are you crying for him!" she said, "He was the one who hurt us!"
"It's not because of him that he's crying, but for us." Mr. Dong said, waving his daughter forward a little, "First go to Zhang Dahao's shop to cry. Xiang Qi fell to death in front of their door. They are the murderers.
, wait until the people on the street have heard about it, then go to the yamen gate to cry..."
"Dad, now is not the time to extort money, right?" Mrs. Dong interrupted him.
"You idiot." Mr. Dong scolded, "You only have money in your eyes. The most important thing now is to insist that Xiangqi's death was an accident. Let that lady know that we really don't know about it. Everything is irrelevant to us."
It was an accident! We didn’t know anything!”
Madam Dong understood and hurriedly responded and stood up.
She hurried towards the door, then stopped and looked back.
"Dad, if she is so powerful, Brother Xu will be fine this time, right?" she said.
Mr. Dong looked at her with a serious expression.
"It's best that he's okay," he said, "otherwise, our Dong family will be wiped out and no one will be left alive."
Madam Dong lowered her head, turned around, and took a deep breath.
"My poor husband!"
A woman's shrill, pitiful cries echoed in the yard.
Yudai Bridge, Cheng Zhai.
There was a knocking sound on the wall, and the maid raised her head in annoyance.
"It's really annoying!" she said.
The boy's head poked out from the wall.
"Madam, madam, I'm here to thank you." Prince Jin'an said with a smile.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked up at him.
"I took your herbal tea and my illness was cured in a short period of time." Prince Jin'an said.
"So, do you want to pay me for the consultation?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked.
The prince of Jin'an County laughed.
"There's no point talking about money between friends," he said.
Who is your friend?
The maid frowned.
"But I brought this for you." The young man smiled and took out a porcelain jar with a little pride.
Brother Jin stepped forward to catch it steadily and held it in front of Cheng Jiaoniang.
The maid opened the lid, and a light fragrance hit her nostrils.
What, it’s just tea.
The lady doesn’t want to drink tea from outside...
"Muxiang." Cheng Jiaoniang said, looking up at the young man on the wall. Although her voice was calm, she seemed a little surprised.
What is woody scent?
The maid was puzzled.
"It's very fragrant, right?" Prince Jin'an said with a smile, "It's tea made from sweet-scented osmanthus flowers."
Fragrant tea?
How can you drink it then? Doesn’t the fragrance of flowers take away the authenticity of the tea?
The maid couldn't help but look down at the porcelain jar.
"You can tell by looking at the dim sum that you must be picky about food and drink." Prince Jin'an smiled and said, "You must like this good thing."
"Thank you." Cheng Jiaoniang said, smiling at the young man.
"How have you been lately?" the young man asked, holding on to the wall.
"It's not going well these days." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
The prince of Jin'an County was startled.
The good guy is asking again...
Could it be that the lady told him everything without leaving a single word?
The maid couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Is the origin of this young man...
"I can't say anything." The young man didn't laugh as much as before. Instead, he looked serious and slowly said, "You say you are a friend, but I may not be able to help you with anything, so I don't dare to boast about Haikou."
Oh…
The maid looked at the young man in astonishment...
This was the first time she had seen this kind of person who said what was clearly rejection but seemed to be being embarrassed...
I really don’t know what to say.
"You've already asked and I've answered. What else do you have to say?" Cheng Jiaoniang said.
How are you doing? Not too good.
Is that it?
The maid went to see Cheng Jiaoniang again.
After being stunned for a moment, she turned around and entered the hall with the porcelain jar. Anyway, she couldn't understand what these two people were talking about, so she might as well do her own thing.
"Can you handle it this time?" Prince Jin'an asked.
"You can still give it a try." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
"Then you try it. If it doesn't work in the end, there's still me." Prince Jin'an said, looking at her and nodding, "You saved my life, I will give you one in return."
The maid looked away and looked at Banqin.
"This man is indeed an embroidered pillow. He talks sweet things to his wife every day. But when something real happens, he doesn't even dare to say a nice word." She said.
"Sister, think about it, he is a man who almost lost his life. Also, if he can really help, why would he not even dare to see my wife from the front door?" Banqin said in a low voice.
It seems to have been said that he did not go through the main entrance, not because he was not afraid of not being good to himself, but because he was afraid of not being good to his wife.
If a person who is cautious even when meeting people rushes to help, he may not be able to help, but may cause trouble instead.
The maid also saw that the young man on the corridor had lost his smile and was replaced by a solemn one.
"Actually, what he said at the end was quite serious." She smiled again and said.
Give you back your life.
As long as there is life, everything is possible.
