Cui Hao stared at the servant woman and wanted to speak but couldn't help but cough.
He choked in the river and although he was rescued, he still had difficulty breathing. The Wan brothers came over to help him rest, but Cui Hao shook his head and looked at the servant woman: "Where is the eldest lady?"
The maid looked at Xu Qinghuan and the others: "There are many members of my family around here, and they are all looking for Miss Fourth... I'm afraid it's not convenient to talk..."
"So, your eldest wife has long known the inside story."
When Xu Qinghuan's voice came, the maid couldn't help but tremble. For some reason, she was a little afraid of Miss Xu. Miss Xu's eyes were very clear, as if she could see through people's thoughts at a glance.
The servant woman lowered her eyes and said, "The eldest lady is also guessing, but I don't know the inside story."
"Report it to the official," Xu Qinghuan said calmly, "This woman's death cannot be related to Mrs. Yan. The Yamen is worried about how to deal with it..."
Meng Lingyun responded and left.
"Don't..." the maid said immediately, "Miss, please don't do this. My eldest wife has good intentions, how can you harm her."
"We won't know who the culprit is until the case is investigated further," Xu Qinghuan looked at the maid, "How can you say that I am harming the eldest lady?"
"Because," the servant girl became anxious, "when you say this, everyone will know that my fourth lady is..."
Xu Qinghuan said: "Miss Yan left the Yan family with the help of Mrs. Yan. Mrs. Yan knows best where the fourth miss has gone. You came to see Cui Hao just to talk about this matter, right?"
The servant girl's eyes widened with disbelief on her face. She didn't expect that Miss Xu had already guessed this.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "Miss Yan Si once asked me what Cui Hao's crime would be if Cui Hao escaped with her. It can be seen that Miss Yan Si has already been thinking about a way out, and the only person who can help her with advice is Mrs. Yan.
"
After Xu Qinghuan finished speaking, she turned around and looked behind her: "If Mrs. Yan has something to say, she might as well come over and say it, so as not to be called to the Yan family."
The servant shrank and looked around again, and finally swallowed: "Miss, wait a moment, I will go and fetch the eldest lady."
The Yan family's servant girl left, and Cui Hao was also eager to go with her.
"Mr. Cui," Xu Qinghuan said, "Why don't you just wait here. If Mrs. Yan comes to tell Miss Yan the whereabouts, she will definitely send the news. You are in this situation with the servants of the Yan family walking around.
, I’m afraid I’ll run out of energy if I really have to look for someone later.”
Xu Qinghuan looked at Meng Lingyun, who immediately took out a set of clean clothes.
Xu Qinghuan said: "I just bought this from a nearby house. Mr. Cui might as well put it on first."
How could Cui Hao have the heart to do these things, but what Miss Xu said made sense. He clenched his fists, calmed down temporarily, bowed to thank Xu Qinghuan, followed the Wan brothers to change clothes, and then hurried back.
.
"Miss Xu," Cui Hao was silent for a long time, his voice hoarse, "Do you know what is going on?"
Cui Hao's sad expression contained a bit of confusion: "Many times, I don't know whether to persist or give up."
"Have you ever thought about giving up?" Xu Qinghuan asked.
Cui Hao was stunned for a moment and then said: "I have thought about it. I was sold to a nursing home. Although I was a servant, my life was relatively peaceful. Later, bandits came to the house and many nursing homes and servants died.
, the master entrusted the young master to me and asked me to take him out. I am grateful for the kindness of the master. Although I was seriously injured, I luckily survived.
Later, when the government officials arrived, the bandits hurriedly left. The master, thinking of my loyalty, would treat me as a confidant from now on, and betrothed me to my wife's maid, and said that they would not treat us as servants in the future.
."
When Cui Hao said this, he seemed to be talking to himself: "I believed it, but unfortunately something was lost in the house later. After the owner inquired about it, he said that I had stolen it at that time, and that I had colluded with the bandits before...
The human heart is really strange, and it’s hard to see through. I can’t always tell whether it’s true or false. I believe it and am questioned again and again.
They beat me and threw me in the firewood shed, preparing to send me to the Yamen. Unexpectedly, the government came to recruit troops, and the master simply sent me as a member of the army.
So before I went to Northern Xinjiang, I was already guilty of theft."
Cui Hao said a long word: "It's a long way to Northern Xinjiang. I was injured and almost died on the way. At that time, I thought about giving up. People can't feel the pain after death. Just here
At the last moment, someone saved me and told me that when I let go of all my worries, I would be able to escape from the sea of suffering. If there is still hope in my heart, I would be able to see the sunrise."
Speaking of this, Cui Hao smiled: "I am also lucky to have survived, so that I can make military exploits in northern Xinjiang. I have always been grateful to that person, who was the first person who was really willing to reach out to save me.
I have always had hope in my heart and returned to Changzhou to find my biological parents. Although the Zheng family did not want to recognize me, I was not sad. The Zheng family naturally had their own difficulties. I also met Miss Yan Si, but at first I did not
I didn’t think she would treat me well. Even if she was interested, as long as she knew about my past, she would turn around and leave, just like the Zheng family...
I didn’t expect...she was sincere to me...but I still hurt her."
When Cui Hao raised his head, such a rough man's face was already full of tears: "Miss Xu, do you think people should really have hope?
I still can’t see clearly, with so many people and so many things, which one is true and which one is false, who is good and who is evil.”
"No one knows," Xu Qinghuan looked at Cui Hao, "Do you know why I want to investigate the case? I just want the secrets hidden in the dark. Some people are good at hiding, and some are good at bewitching. Before the truth is found, who can
Don’t believe it, don’t listen to what they say, but think and see it for yourself.”
Xu Qinghuan looked at the corpse: "Even a corpse will lie to you, let alone those nice people."
Cui Hao's hands were shaking a little.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "Miss Yan Si left the Yan family for you. She knows that everything you have in Northern Xinjiang is hard-won, and she wants you to live an upright life. No matter what happens, don't kill yourself casually."
Cui Hao still didn't speak, as if he was thinking carefully.
Xu Qinghuan turned his head: "Cui Hao, have you ever turned your head and looked behind you? People often look forward when walking, but few people look past. Especially if you feel disgusted with the past, you often look at the past through the eyes of the present.
, maybe there are other gains.
The bandits who went to the Yuan family back then were indeed strange. As bandits, they should first take property by force, but they killed people wantonly. You should have died in the hands of those bandits, but you survived by luck. Later, the Yuan family was deceived.
You have become suspicious. Although the Yuan family is extremely ungrateful, the person who deceived them is the chief culprit."
Cui Hao looked at Xu Qinghuan in surprise: "Miss Xu went to the Yuan family to inquire about my past?"
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "Because you arrived suddenly and asked my father to help find out about your life experience, I became suspicious of you. I didn't quite believe that you were sincere to Miss Yan Si, so I asked people to check this and be vigilant.
Every move you make."
Cui Hao said: "It turns out that Miss Xu has always doubted me."
"People who are suspicious at the beginning are not necessarily bad people, and people who always trust are not necessarily good people." Xu Qinghuan looked forward, and Mrs. Yan walked over quickly.
