He really couldn't think of anything that could be found in this pile of ashes.
And... the scene of his brother squatting here picking up the ashes in the middle of the night is really too cautious and too tasteful.
I can't help but worry a little, has his brother been stimulated by something, causing him to become mentally disturbed?
"It's still there!"
Mu Chengxian finally found what he was looking for in the ashes, his deep eyes as bright as stars.
"This is... a ring?"
Mu Chengfeng looked along Mu Chengxian's fingers with a surprised expression.
A thin platinum ring with six prongs holding a pure white diamond the size of a pigeon egg. Although the style is simple, it is very classic.
Mu Chengxian gently blew the dust off the ring, and the ring immediately showed a dazzling light, shining under the moonlight.
"Is this the wedding ring you gave to my sister-in-law? I thought it was so beautiful before. No wonder my sister-in-law loves you so wholeheartedly. Which woman in the world can refuse this!"
Mu Chengfeng had long been impressed by this ring.
At that time, my sister-in-law treasured this ring and wore it carefully on her hand all the time. Every time she looked at the ring, her eyes were full of tenderness and love.
Unfortunately, the fire in the mental hospital burned his sister-in-law to ashes, and he thought the ring was also missing.
Unexpectedly, he was hidden by his eldest brother and secretly buried with his sister-in-law's ashes. Does this mean that his eldest brother is actually not that ruthless towards his sister-in-law?
"I didn't give this ring to her."
Mu Chengxian said coldly.
"If you didn't give it to her, then who gave it to her? Could it be that other than her husband giving it to her, someone else could do it for her?"
"This ring was specially made for her by her father."
As Mu Chengxian spoke, he took out his cell phone and used the flash that came with it to shine the ring carefully, as if he was observing something.
"What, my father made it for her?"
Mu Chengfeng found it incredible and sighed: "For a straight man like our father to have such meticulous thoughts, he specially customized a ring for his daughter-in-law. The key...the design is so beautiful, it's unscientific!"
"You may not know that our father used to be an artist. He could draw, design, and write poetry."
"I know this. Our father is the most maverick, humane, and romantic among the elders of the four major families. Otherwise, he would not have delegated power to us early and traveled around the world by himself...
…”
When the two brothers mentioned their father, they had endless things to talk about and endless complaints about.
Back then, a large part of the reason why Mu Chengxian married Li Wange was because of the pressure from his father.
Mu's father is usually an easy-going person, but he is particularly forceful when it comes to Mu Chengxian's marriage.
He pushed Mu Chengxian and Li Wange all the way to receive the certificate. On the day of receiving the certificate, he gave Li Wange a ring. After transferring all the equity in his hands to the names of his two sons, he stepped down from his position and left a letter.
Xin, and never returned to Mu’s house from then on.
Occasionally I would contact my two sons on the phone, and they would either be watching the aurora in the Arctic, chasing elephants in Africa, or catching dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean. My life was very fulfilling.
"My father is now romantic and free. I feel sorry for our mother, who has stayed alone in the empty boudoir for so many years. She has changed from the magnificent Lady Yuyi who was regarded as a goddess by everyone, to the neurotic person she is now.
Our father has the greatest responsibility!"
As Mu Chengfeng chatted, he began to feel unfair for Liang Yuyi.
"How can two people who don't love each other be happy if they are tied together?"
Mu Chengxian said calmly.
"Brother, how can you say that? I remember that you always stood by your mother before. You said that our father was selfish and irresponsible, and threatened to sever the father-son relationship with him. Why now...
"
"It's hard for us outsiders to comment on things between husband and wife. I used to be too stubborn and couldn't figure out many things. Now that I have figured them out, I understand my father's thoughts."
Mu Chengxian said with profound meaning.
Since childhood, the two brothers have known very clearly that their father and mother do not love each other.
When the two of them were together, although there was no quarrel, there was no communication. The family was always cold and depressing.
"You are right. My father and my mother are basically two types of people. They live in different worlds. My father is a romantic and my mother is a realist. Living together will only make them miserable. On the contrary, my father has been gone all these years.
Mother feels much more at ease..."
After so many years, Mu Chengfeng actually looked away and was too lazy to worry about his father and mother's affairs anymore.
"However, since my father suffered so much from an unloving marriage, why would he let you make the same mistake again? Not only did he rush you and your sister-in-law to get the certificate, but he also personally helped you design a wedding ring for your sister-in-law. Such an assist is not very like his personality.
?”
"Perhaps my father can see clearly, and he can also see far. Who can tell whether we love each other or not..."
Mu Chengxian used the flashlight of his mobile phone to continue observing the ring he held on his fingertips.
"Brother, why do you keep looking at this ring?"
"Nothing, let's see if there is any change in the quality."
Mu Chengxian replied perfunctorily, not wanting Mu Chengfeng to know too much.
Sure enough, under the illumination of the flashlight, he discovered the familiar pattern inside the ring.
This pattern is the same as the one on Li Wange's mother's jade ring finger.
Next to the pattern, there is a string of small Sanskrit-like characters. Because they are so small, you must use a professional magnifying glass to see them clearly.
He stood up and held the ring tightly in his palm, eager to verify his guess.
"Brother, wait for me, why are you walking so fast!"
Mu Chengfeng chased after him, shouting breathlessly.
He always felt that there was something strange about his brother, and that ring was definitely more than just a ring.
Mu Chengxian came to the study from the garden, turned on the computer, and typed on the keyboard, staring at the screen with a focused and serious expression.
Mu Chengfeng was about to walk over to find out what was going on when the servant rushed over in a panic.
"First young master, second young master, it's not good, my wife is making trouble again, why don't you hurry over and take a look?"
"Send more people and don't let her come out from the west courtyard. As long as she doesn't come out, she can make trouble as much as she wants."
Mu Chengxian was not surprised and ordered without raising his head.
"No, Madam is in a very bad mood this time. She said that if you don't go, she will die. She said that she wants to... want to get rid of all the scandals about the Mu family, and..."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Mu Chengxian rubbed his temples and shook his head helplessly.
He didn't care about Liang Yuyi's troubles, but he was worried that some things were being overheard by the servants. If the news got out, it would be troublesome.
