BE Crazy Demon Survival System
Chapter 61 Did the young master pretend to be sick today
Xu Qichen and He Yanyin made an appointment at the cafe opened by his second brother.
There was no big difference from the last meeting, but Xu Qichen could clearly feel that He Yanyin had completely let go of her previous feelings for him.
In fact, he also knew that it was only because of the conversation when they first met that this woman who longed for equal rights in her heart was respected, so he had a good impression of him, but this kind of good feeling was actually far less than the love between a man and a woman.
As Lin Nianzhi said, if you always want to get married, it's better to find someone who is convenient for you.It's the same for He Yanyin, she always wants to get married, it's better to find someone who respects herself.
However, compared to the last time, the content of the two people's conversation this time is much more secretive.If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was He Yanyin, Xu Qichen would not have dared to make such a request casually. After all, not every woman has such courage and courage as hers.
"You are taking a dangerous step."
Xu Qichen smiled, "If there is another way to go, I am naturally not willing to choose this way."
He Yanyin nodded, "No matter what, I will try my best to help you."
After parting with He Yanyin, Xu Qichen returned to Xie's mansion.For his own plan, he offered to Master Xie to serve his father.In the past few days, Xu Qichen has been waiting in Xie Rujun's room almost every day. Although Xie Rujun is not his biological father, Sun Lin's tragedy was not caused by him alone. Emotion, but some pity.
Xie Rujun's life was about to come to an end, the chronic poison had eroded his whole body from the inside to the outside, and he could hardly speak.
"Master Lin, the medicine is ready." A girl stood at the door, holding a bowl of Chinese medicine in her hand.
Xu Qichen tilted his head and smiled, "Okay, let's put it on the table. I'll just feed my father the medicine later."
The girl nodded, her face was full of concern, "Master, you should also pay attention to your body."
"Okay." Xu Qichen responded with a gentle smile, "Close the door for me when I go out, father doesn't like making noise, thank you."
The room fell silent, Xu Qichen stood up and walked to the table, took out a palm-sized bottle from his coat pocket, poured some medicine into the bottle, plugged the stopper, and poured the rest of the medicine into the window sill In a potted plant.
Every time Xu Qichen sat beside Xie Rujun's bed, pinching his paralyzed palms for him, he would quietly look at Xu Qichen, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but his cloudy eyes were filled with moisture.
Can't say anything, but this look is full of thousands of words.
As time went by, Xu Qichen's deepest emotion seemed to be awakened.
He regretted a little, if he didn't escape this ending and entered Xie's house earlier, would Xie Rujun's life still have a chance to be saved?
But Xu Qichen was sober, he was not a savior.
As New Year's Eve approached, Xie's mansion was busy. In order to practice Xu Qichen, Mr. Xie arranged for him to help prepare the New Year's Eve family banquet in the mansion. This was quite a challenge for him.Xu Qichen has always been a gentle person, and treats Xie's servants with generosity and courtesy, especially compared with Liu Mingde who comes to Xie's mansion every now and then, which makes his status in the hearts of everyone in the Xie family elevated.
Compared with Xu Qichen, Liu Mingde's life was not easy when he came here. Originally, relying on being the only son of the Xie family's daughter, he swaggered through Jiangqu City all day long, but now that his serious grandson has returned, his grandson is also He fell out of favor all of a sudden, and even the troupe owner of the stage didn't flatter him like he used to. This made Liu Mingde very angry. He spent the whole day thinking about how to deal with this illegitimate child who was killed halfway, but he couldn't find a suitable one. Opportunity.
According to the usual practice in previous years, the relatives of Xie's family rushed to live in Xie's mansion early the day before New Year's Eve. Xu Qichen changed his old habit of arranging residences based on family background and reassigned them based on seniority. This angered him. Liu Mingde who has always been domineering in Xie Mansion.
"Where is that kid Xie Lin!?"
The girl at home was so frightened that she stuttered, unable to speak for a long time, she was slapped by Liu Mingde and fell to the ground, "Damn, I can't even articulate a sentence! What's the use of raising you bastards!"
"Master Lin is... in the study..."
Liu Mingde spat, "I really fucking think I'm the young master!" Then he rushed to the study room and kicked the door open without saying a word, "Xie Lin! Tell me the fuck!"
Xu Qichen was checking the account books with the housekeeper in the study. Seeing this situation, he didn't even raise his eyes, ignored it, and continued talking about the problems on the accounts. Liu Mingde became even more annoyed when he saw that he didn't take himself seriously. , "When I come back, Xie's house is not the best guest room to sleep in. What do you mean by arranging me to the small and remote west courtyard now! Do you really think of yourself as the owner of Xie's house?!"
Xu Qichen put down the account book in his hand, and said calmly, "Cousin, I have reported to my grandfather about the allocation of the residence this time, and he also very much agrees with this method. Of course, if my cousin insists that I am a hindrance, I am willing to exchange it with you." My cousin can move to my room today, how about it?"
Liu Mingde's expression became even more ugly, he rushed up and grabbed Xu Qichen by the collar, "Chase it with you? What the hell do you think you are!"
Seeing this situation, the butler at the side hurried forward to hold Liu Mingde back, "Master Biao calm down..."
Liu Mingde turned his elbow and knocked the butler to the ground, "What's the matter with you, an old slave? Get out!"
Xu Qichen, who was being grabbed by the collar, said calmly, "Butler Liu, you should go out first."
The butler stood up from the ground, sighed and left the study.
But Liu Mingde is one who refuses to give up easily, "You bastard, if Master Japan doesn't tell you to suffer, you don't know how much you are worth!"
Xu Qichen smiled suddenly, and the obedience and gentleness just now disappeared without a trace, "You are right, I am a bastard, your mother is the daughter of the Xie family, and my mother is just an unknown female worker who gave birth to me. I will pass away. Since I was born, I have been a domestic servant for others, protecting them from evil and continuing their lives, and your clothes and food are incomparably precious. But so what?"
His tone was soft and sincere, but for some reason, it created a strange sense of contempt, "Cousin, you also know in your heart that I, a bastard, will inherit the Xie family's property in a short time, and you miss me?" After 20 years, after all, a foreigner is popular and can't get anything."
"Don't forget, for the past 20 years, you can't even live in the Xiegong Pavilion. You can only stay in your increasingly dilapidated Liu's house. Who told you that you are not the grandson of your grandfather."
Seeing him like this, Liu Mingde's eyes almost turned red, and he punched him in the face, Xu Qichen felt a pain in the root of his teeth, and the smell of blood spread, but he was still smiling, and pushed Liu Mingde away, looking indifferent He walked out of the study, "What's the use of beating me, as long as I'm still in this house, you'll always be just a young cousin, you have to live wherever I want you to live, I won't let you set foot in the future, thank you Mansion, there is nothing you can do."
Xu Qichen opened the door of the study room, and the last few words were pronounced lightly, as if he was expressing his own concerns.
Liu Mingde was completely enraged by him, stepped forward and grabbed his neck, and pushed him against the wall, his ten fingers were almost embedded in the skin of his neck.
The strong stimulation made Xu Qichen almost unable to make a sound, and could only move towards the door as hard as he could.
Liu Mingde was already unconscious at this time, shouting hysterically, "I'm going to kill you bastard!"
Xu Qichen overcame the dizziness caused by suffocation, stretched out his arms, and knocked down the two-foot-high sapphire vase placed at the door of the study. There was a sudden sound of shattering, and several servants on the second floor heard the sound and came to see this vase. The scene immediately pulled Liu Ming away, Xu Qichen escaped from danger, and slowly slid down with his back against the wall until he sat on the ground.
Fortunately, Liu Mingde has been smoking opium and visiting brothels for so many years, and his body is already weak. Otherwise, Xu Qichen would have to be strangled half of his life if he didn't die.
Xu Qichen fell to the ground, and a servant carried him downstairs.Master Xie, who heard about this on the phone, hurried back to Xie's mansion.
"Where's Lin'er?"
Seeing that the master was so angry, the girl standing at the door said timidly: "Master Lin is lying in the room, and the doctor he invited left."
Mr. Xie went upstairs on crutches, and when he saw Xu Qichen lying on the bed weakly, with the finger prints on his neck still red, he immediately became angry: "What's going on!"
Only then did the butler speak, "Just now... Young Master Lin and I were checking the account books in the study. Young Master Biao rushed in suddenly and grabbed Master Lin by the collar. I persuaded him to make peace, but Young Master Biao ignored it. , Later, Master Lin let me go out first, and he told Master Biao, who knew that later..."
Master Xie's crutches poked heavily on the ground a few times, "Then why is he going to the study?!"
The butler explained: "Young Master Biao is not satisfied with the residence assigned by Young Master Lin, but Young Master Lin has already said that you can change rooms with him, but Young Master Biao is just..."
Master Xie slapped the cabinet next to the bed with his palm, "Where's that evil one?!"
Several servants remained silent, Master Xie got angry and asked again, and then someone timidly said: "Just now I saw that Young Master Biao called the driver to go out, and said he was going to the theater to relieve his anger."
"This evil..."
Xu Qichen opened his eyes at this moment, sat up with difficulty propping his body on his elbows, "...Grandfather, you are here."
Master Xie immediately sat down by the bed, "Stop talking, that villain is so ruthless, I think he wants your life!"
Xu Qichen coughed a few times, touched his neck, and said in a weak voice, "Cousin, he was just confused for a moment, grandfather, don't take it seriously."
"Confused for a while?" Master Xie tightly held the crutch in his hand, "He has been confused all his life!"
The girl on the side couldn't help it and finally said: "Master, Master Lin is so good-natured that he even excused Master Biao. Just now we all saw the truth. Master Biao yelled at me while pinching Master Lin's neck." It took a lot of effort to kill you, a bastard, and Master Lin couldn't even stand up at that time."
Xu Qichen glanced at the girl and remembered that when she was pouring tea before, she accidentally spilled some tea on Liu Mingde's body, and he was the one who blocked her from being tortured by Liu Mingde.
"Master, Young Master Lin is very kind to everyone in the mansion, and he is patient with Young Master Biao again and again, but Young Master Biao has scolded Young Master Lin countless times in private, and he has said all kinds of dirty words..."
"Okay Xiaoyu, don't talk about it." Xu Qichen coughed a few times, "Grandfather, let's leave this matter alone. Cousin only said such things when he was in a hurry, and he definitely didn't do it on purpose."
Master Xie's face was gloomy, and it took a while before he spoke, "You have worked hard these days, take a good rest." After saying that, he dismissed the servants in the room and let him sleep. Xu Qichen nodded and watched Master Xie leave the room , Lying in the quilt for a while, he sat up, walked to the desk with his neck, picked up the pen and wrote something.
Liu Mingde also didn't come back for dinner.Mr. Xie's face has always been ugly. Xie's mansion is so big, and this matter quickly spread throughout the mansion, and the relatives in the house are also talking about it. If some punishment is not imposed, it will be difficult to convince the public, let alone him himself. Originally, he also hated this grandson who behaved mischievously.
In the early hours of the morning, Liu Mingde returned to Xie's mansion reeking of alcohol, and made a fuss again. Xu Qichen heard the movement in the room, so he put on his coat and went downstairs to help Liu Mingde. Liu Mingde wasn't too drunk. Duo, when he saw Xu Qichen supporting him, he became angry again, and pushed him away with a wave of his hand, "Get out of here, you bastard."
Xu Qichen was not annoyed, a few girls helped him up, and he went back to his room to rest.
On New Year's Eve, Xie's family was full of joy. Xu Qichen took care of everything properly. All Xie's relatives praised him, but Liu Mingde was in a different situation. He didn't even change his clothes early in the morning, reeking of alcohol. Then he was called to Mr. Xie's room.
"What's going on with what happened yesterday! I think you have taken the courage to act wildly in Xie's mansion!"
Liu Mingde looked foolish, "That kid offended me first!"
"You still dare to quibble!" Master Xie pointed at his face, "Why are you so embarrassed? There are so many eyes staring up and down in the house, and they all know how you target Lin'er, so what else can you quibble about! "
"He bought people's hearts!"
"Shut up!" Master Xie stood up, "Go and apologize to Lin'er, or get the hell out of Xie's mansion!"
Liu Mingde was furious, but he didn't dare to get angry in front of Mr. Xie, so he had to suppress his anger and enter Xu Qichen's room.After entering, he found that he was asleep with his eyes closed, only spit on the ground, and left without doing anything.
Xu Qichen closed his eyes, and when he heard him slam the door shut, he slowly opened his eyes, took out the pocket watch that Xie Rujun had given him a while ago, opened it for a look, and lay down for a while before getting up from the bed.
The firecrackers rang out again and again, a lot of children were watching the excitement at the gate of Xie Mansion, picking up the burnt firecracker leader, Master Xie specially invited someone to invite a lion dance team to dance at the gate of Xie Mansion in order to celebrate After more than half an hour, the gongs and drums were blaring, so it was very lively.
Master Xie looked at the time. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the dinner was about to start. He said to the housekeeper, "Is Master Lin still resting? Go tell him to get ready, come down."
"Yes, sir."
Just after I finished explaining, I heard someone report: "Master, Miss He is here, and she said that she has something important to say to you."
"Miss He? The youngest daughter of the He family?"
The servant nodded, "Yes."
"Hurry up and invite someone in."
Not long after, He Yanyin walked into Xie's mansion, "Master Xie, happy new year."
"Hey, Yan Yin is here." Mr. Xie stood up from the sofa and walked to He Yan Yin's side, "Why don't you celebrate the New Year at my house today, why don't you give New Year greetings to me, an old man?"
He Yanyin smiled, "Master Xie is teasing me with words." The room was warm, she took off her cloak, Master Xie saw a document in her hand, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? ?”
"Xie Lin asked me to do something." He Yanyin looked upstairs, "I don't know if he is at home now, I want to talk to him."
Master Xie nodded, he was very appreciative of Xie Lin's relationship with He Yanyin, "Yes, just now I called my servant..."
At this moment, the servant who had just gone upstairs suddenly ran out of the room. When he went downstairs, his feet were swollen, and he almost crawled down. He kept muttering, "Master, master, Master Lin he……"
Master Xie frowned, "What happened to Master Lin?"
The servant was trembling with fright, glanced at He Yanyin, then at Mr. Xie, swallowed, and pointed to the upstairs room with the open door, "Master Lin, he, seems to have died..."
Master Xie's heart skipped a beat, He Yanyin immediately stepped forward to support her, and reprimanded sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about during the Chinese New Year!"
The servant fell to his knees with a plop, "Master, Miss He, how dare I..."
Master Xie's hands began to tremble, but he was unwilling to believe it no matter what, "Impossible, this is impossible."
"Master Xie, don't be in a hurry, I'm a doctor, I'll go up with you to see what's going on." After He Yanyin finished speaking, she ordered the servant just now to help Master Xie, and followed them upstairs.
There was no one else in the room, and the three of them walked in together. Xu Qichen lay motionless on the bed, making no sound at all, as if he was in a deep sleep. As soon as Master Xie entered, he called his name several times.
"Lin'er, Lin'er?"
When he stepped forward to touch it, Xu Qichen's hands were cold, and he touched his face again. Master Xie couldn't stand up immediately, and almost fell to the ground, but was supported by He Yanyin, "Master Xie, let me take a look, maybe it's just a shock. .”
He Yanyin took off her gloves, put her fingers under Xu Qichen's nose and probed, and sure enough she was no longer breathing, then opened her eyelids to check again.Master Xie at the side still held a sliver of hope, and was burning with anxiety, "What's wrong with him? Is there any help?"
He Yanyin sighed, "Master Xie, to tell you the truth, he is indeed not breathing. I need to check his heartbeat now." After speaking, she lifted the quilt to expose her upper body, and put her ear on her left chest, feeling his breath. There was something in the left breast pocket, so he took it out, then leaned down again, and listened carefully for a while.
Mr. Xie is also a person who has experienced many storms. Although he was thrilled at the moment, he still held his breath. But when he saw He Yanyin's expression, he knew it in his heart, but he still didn't want to believe what was happening in front of him with a little luck. fact.
"Go... go and invite Dr. Zhao over..."
At this moment, He Yanyin suddenly said, "Master Xie, to tell you the truth, I came here today because it is related to Dr. Zhao from your house. He may have been arrested by the police."
Master Xie didn't know the situation, and was shocked, "What did you say?"
He Yanyin handed the document in her hand to Master Xie, "Actually, Xie Lin should tell you about this matter. He found out that there was something wrong with his father's daily medicine, so he brought some of the medicine to me when no one was paying attention. I helped him test it, and this is my test result. Young Master Xie’s medicine does contain poison, and the daily dosage is not much, so it’s hard to detect, but over time, the damage to the human body is extremely serious.”
She sighed, "At first, Xie Lin was just wondering why his father was getting worse and worse after being treated for so long, so please let me help to find out the reason."
Master Xie kept shaking the hand holding the test result, "Who is it?! Who is it?"
He Yanyin unfolded the paper that was just taken out of Xu Qichen's coat pocket, took a rough look at it, and handed it to Master Xie, "Master Xie, this is just taken out of his pocket, please take a look."
Master Xie took the paper, on it was a letter written by Xu Qichen himself, after reading the contents carefully, he almost fainted.
grandfather,
After much hesitation, the grandson decided to write this letter.Now the grandson is in a very difficult situation, so he has to guard against it.
At Ms. He's party a few days ago, the grandson accidentally overheard the conversation between his aunt and cousin. The words seemed to mention his father's illness and the family doctor. But at that time, the grandson didn't know his background. Don't dare to speculate wantonly.
Now that I am returning to my family, serving my father, thinking about what happened that day, I feel that something is wrong, so I turn to Ms. He, who has returned from studying medicine overseas, to help me investigate the drugs my father used. Ms. He has not given me an answer yet, and I have never told He. Regarding the matter of the banquet day, the young lady just asked her to test the medicine for me.But my cousin seemed to know that I was the one who broke the conversation between the two of them at that time, and threatened my grandson many times, fearing that the truth would not be revealed, so I wrote this letter just in case.If something really happened to the grandson, please contact Ms. He as soon as possible to find out the truth!
Sincerely, Lin Er
"Come on! Go and tie up that evil barrier! Shut it up in the firewood room and don't make any noise!" In a hurry, Master Xie coughed a few times, and He Yanyin comforted him, "Master Xie, death cannot be resurrected, please take care of yourself .”
"The grandson I have worked so hard to find, I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."
Seeing the servant leaving the room in a hurry, He Yanyin hesitated for a while, and said, "Master Xie, I just read that the cause of Xie Lin's death was taking sleeping pills, but this personal letter is not his suicide note, so it must not be suicide. Is Lin sick and injured, need to take medicine?"
Master Xie frowned, "Lin'er was injured yesterday, and took some medicines to relieve pain and remove blood stasis." He glanced at the table, "It's these medicines."
He Yanyin checked and shook her head, "No, none of these medicines will kill you." She glanced at Master Xie, "I suspect that Xie Lin's medicine was secretly changed."
"Master Xie, Xie Lin's body is almost completely cold. I think he has been dead for a while. Today is New Year's Eve... It seems that many people from the Xie family have come to Xie's mansion. At this time, it is involved in the internal struggle of the family. It is really inappropriate to make a public announcement."
"Kelin'er..."
He Yanyin said again: "In addition, I believe that you, Master Xie, are also aware that Xie Lin has been protecting people from evil since he was born. Although I am a medical student, sometimes I have to believe things from my ancestors. The leg disease also saved Young Master Song from disaster, he had evil spirits on him, and now he died in vain..."
People who do business are most particular about Feng Shui. In Master Xie's life, his only son had a poor life, and his only grandson died after returning to his family. Even those who don't believe in these things can't help but be afraid, "Then... what do you mean?"
"We Chinese pay attention to burial. Master Xie, today is the time of the new year. If we don't deal with this matter as soon as possible, I am afraid that the next year will be..."
He Yanyin's words made Mr. Xie feel numb in his heart. He was very superstitious in the first place, and he couldn't help being afraid when he saw this situation.
What's more, now that the entire family is gathered in Xie's mansion, if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, I am afraid that the panic will spread all over the river the next day, and no one will dare to patronize Xie's shop by then.
"This matter... really needs to be dealt with as soon as possible." Master Xie stood up, walked to the door, called a few servants, gave some orders, turned back to the room, saw He Yanyin still guarding the bed, and said with difficulty, "Yan Yan Yin... this matter..."
He Yanyin couldn't hide the disappointment on her face, but she still got up and said, "Master Xie, don't worry, I have known Xie Lin before, and we can be regarded as friends. Now that something like this happened to him, my heart aches, so naturally I won't say anything , not to mention that he trusts me very much, and I have entrusted him with all my trust, I hope Master Xie must punish the real culprit, and give him justice with Young Master Xie, who has been suffering for many years."
After saying that, He Yanyin took her leave and left Xie's house, leaving Mr. Xie sitting in the room alone.
He thought that this only seedling could continue the incense for his Xie family, but the world is unpredictable, and his only son and grandson were killed by his own family.
The sound of firecrackers outside still hasn't stopped.
There were more than a dozen tables set up for the lively New Year's Eve family banquet, but no one noticed that a few servants took advantage of the chaos to secretly store the young master's body, secretly transported it to the Xie family's mausoleum ten miles away, and buried it hastily in a temporary nanmu coffin.
He Yanyin's words lingered in Master Xie's heart for a long time, and he was really anxious, so he invited a fortune teller to take a test, and what he said was similar to He Yanyin, even more exaggerated.
Mr. Xie paid a high price to invite an expert to secretly cast spells upstairs. Hearing the spells and incantations chanted by the expert, and laughter came from downstairs, Mr. Xie felt uneasy.
He Yanyin went home, had a quick meal, the phone rang, she answered the phone and wanted to change clothes and leave.
"Where are you going for the New Year's Eve?"
"I have something to do in the clinic, I have to go." He Yanyin hugged her mother, said a few words, left the He mansion, and drove to the back door of Lin's house.
Lin Nianzhi had been waiting in the cold wind for a long time, and when he saw the headlights coming, he walked in to have a look, and it was indeed He Yanyin.
Lin Nianzhi hurriedly got into the car, "It's finally here, is everything going well?"
He Yanyin nodded, "Well, my confidant has just replied to me, saying that he saw them go to Moling."
"Then we have to hurry up."
The two drove to Moling, and it was already late when they arrived. There was a black car parked at the foot of the mountain. They looked carefully and found that the other party got out of the car.
It's Song Yuanyan.
He Yanyin got out of the car, "Why are you so fast?"
"I guessed that they would be buried here, so I calculated the time and came right away." Song Yuanyan looked very anxious, "Hurry up, almost five hours have passed."
He Yanyin nodded, and the three of them went up to Moling. This small hill was bought by the Xie family a long time ago and used as a cemetery.Over the years, there are eighty if not a hundred bones buried in this hill.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the bare branches in winter were torn in the howling wind, leaving weird shadows shaking on the ground.Apart from the three of them, there was no one else's shadow on this hill. Lin Nianzhi held a lantern, and the faint light shone on the ground. He felt that the place was eerie and terrifying.
Lin Nianzhi was wearing a hat and scarf, and still felt terribly cold. He pressed against He Yanyin tightly, with goose bumps all over his body, "Yan, Yanyin, why do I feel so cold..."
He Yanyin held her hand, "Don't be afraid, you are a person with modern education, you must believe in science."
"Science? I'm afraid she only has metaphysics in her mind now." Song Yuanyan couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw her cowering and cowering, "If I knew you were so timid, I shouldn't have called you here to drag you down. "
Although Lin Nianzhi was terribly afraid, he was even more unwilling to be underestimated by Song Yuanyan, "Who said I was afraid! This lady is not afraid!" Then he let go of He Yanyin's arm, took two steps forward, and exerted all his strength He stomped his feet, clapped his hands and pretended to be relaxed, warming his body, "Miss Ben is just cold, how about it? Is it okay to be cold?"
Song Yuanyan looked at her expressionlessly, "Okay, of course. Miss, look at your feet."
Lin Nianzhi lowered his head, and there was still a fruit plate and incense candles.
"Why are you jumping around in front of someone's grave?"
There was no big difference from the last meeting, but Xu Qichen could clearly feel that He Yanyin had completely let go of her previous feelings for him.
In fact, he also knew that it was only because of the conversation when they first met that this woman who longed for equal rights in her heart was respected, so he had a good impression of him, but this kind of good feeling was actually far less than the love between a man and a woman.
As Lin Nianzhi said, if you always want to get married, it's better to find someone who is convenient for you.It's the same for He Yanyin, she always wants to get married, it's better to find someone who respects herself.
However, compared to the last time, the content of the two people's conversation this time is much more secretive.If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was He Yanyin, Xu Qichen would not have dared to make such a request casually. After all, not every woman has such courage and courage as hers.
"You are taking a dangerous step."
Xu Qichen smiled, "If there is another way to go, I am naturally not willing to choose this way."
He Yanyin nodded, "No matter what, I will try my best to help you."
After parting with He Yanyin, Xu Qichen returned to Xie's mansion.For his own plan, he offered to Master Xie to serve his father.In the past few days, Xu Qichen has been waiting in Xie Rujun's room almost every day. Although Xie Rujun is not his biological father, Sun Lin's tragedy was not caused by him alone. Emotion, but some pity.
Xie Rujun's life was about to come to an end, the chronic poison had eroded his whole body from the inside to the outside, and he could hardly speak.
"Master Lin, the medicine is ready." A girl stood at the door, holding a bowl of Chinese medicine in her hand.
Xu Qichen tilted his head and smiled, "Okay, let's put it on the table. I'll just feed my father the medicine later."
The girl nodded, her face was full of concern, "Master, you should also pay attention to your body."
"Okay." Xu Qichen responded with a gentle smile, "Close the door for me when I go out, father doesn't like making noise, thank you."
The room fell silent, Xu Qichen stood up and walked to the table, took out a palm-sized bottle from his coat pocket, poured some medicine into the bottle, plugged the stopper, and poured the rest of the medicine into the window sill In a potted plant.
Every time Xu Qichen sat beside Xie Rujun's bed, pinching his paralyzed palms for him, he would quietly look at Xu Qichen, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but his cloudy eyes were filled with moisture.
Can't say anything, but this look is full of thousands of words.
As time went by, Xu Qichen's deepest emotion seemed to be awakened.
He regretted a little, if he didn't escape this ending and entered Xie's house earlier, would Xie Rujun's life still have a chance to be saved?
But Xu Qichen was sober, he was not a savior.
As New Year's Eve approached, Xie's mansion was busy. In order to practice Xu Qichen, Mr. Xie arranged for him to help prepare the New Year's Eve family banquet in the mansion. This was quite a challenge for him.Xu Qichen has always been a gentle person, and treats Xie's servants with generosity and courtesy, especially compared with Liu Mingde who comes to Xie's mansion every now and then, which makes his status in the hearts of everyone in the Xie family elevated.
Compared with Xu Qichen, Liu Mingde's life was not easy when he came here. Originally, relying on being the only son of the Xie family's daughter, he swaggered through Jiangqu City all day long, but now that his serious grandson has returned, his grandson is also He fell out of favor all of a sudden, and even the troupe owner of the stage didn't flatter him like he used to. This made Liu Mingde very angry. He spent the whole day thinking about how to deal with this illegitimate child who was killed halfway, but he couldn't find a suitable one. Opportunity.
According to the usual practice in previous years, the relatives of Xie's family rushed to live in Xie's mansion early the day before New Year's Eve. Xu Qichen changed his old habit of arranging residences based on family background and reassigned them based on seniority. This angered him. Liu Mingde who has always been domineering in Xie Mansion.
"Where is that kid Xie Lin!?"
The girl at home was so frightened that she stuttered, unable to speak for a long time, she was slapped by Liu Mingde and fell to the ground, "Damn, I can't even articulate a sentence! What's the use of raising you bastards!"
"Master Lin is... in the study..."
Liu Mingde spat, "I really fucking think I'm the young master!" Then he rushed to the study room and kicked the door open without saying a word, "Xie Lin! Tell me the fuck!"
Xu Qichen was checking the account books with the housekeeper in the study. Seeing this situation, he didn't even raise his eyes, ignored it, and continued talking about the problems on the accounts. Liu Mingde became even more annoyed when he saw that he didn't take himself seriously. , "When I come back, Xie's house is not the best guest room to sleep in. What do you mean by arranging me to the small and remote west courtyard now! Do you really think of yourself as the owner of Xie's house?!"
Xu Qichen put down the account book in his hand, and said calmly, "Cousin, I have reported to my grandfather about the allocation of the residence this time, and he also very much agrees with this method. Of course, if my cousin insists that I am a hindrance, I am willing to exchange it with you." My cousin can move to my room today, how about it?"
Liu Mingde's expression became even more ugly, he rushed up and grabbed Xu Qichen by the collar, "Chase it with you? What the hell do you think you are!"
Seeing this situation, the butler at the side hurried forward to hold Liu Mingde back, "Master Biao calm down..."
Liu Mingde turned his elbow and knocked the butler to the ground, "What's the matter with you, an old slave? Get out!"
Xu Qichen, who was being grabbed by the collar, said calmly, "Butler Liu, you should go out first."
The butler stood up from the ground, sighed and left the study.
But Liu Mingde is one who refuses to give up easily, "You bastard, if Master Japan doesn't tell you to suffer, you don't know how much you are worth!"
Xu Qichen smiled suddenly, and the obedience and gentleness just now disappeared without a trace, "You are right, I am a bastard, your mother is the daughter of the Xie family, and my mother is just an unknown female worker who gave birth to me. I will pass away. Since I was born, I have been a domestic servant for others, protecting them from evil and continuing their lives, and your clothes and food are incomparably precious. But so what?"
His tone was soft and sincere, but for some reason, it created a strange sense of contempt, "Cousin, you also know in your heart that I, a bastard, will inherit the Xie family's property in a short time, and you miss me?" After 20 years, after all, a foreigner is popular and can't get anything."
"Don't forget, for the past 20 years, you can't even live in the Xiegong Pavilion. You can only stay in your increasingly dilapidated Liu's house. Who told you that you are not the grandson of your grandfather."
Seeing him like this, Liu Mingde's eyes almost turned red, and he punched him in the face, Xu Qichen felt a pain in the root of his teeth, and the smell of blood spread, but he was still smiling, and pushed Liu Mingde away, looking indifferent He walked out of the study, "What's the use of beating me, as long as I'm still in this house, you'll always be just a young cousin, you have to live wherever I want you to live, I won't let you set foot in the future, thank you Mansion, there is nothing you can do."
Xu Qichen opened the door of the study room, and the last few words were pronounced lightly, as if he was expressing his own concerns.
Liu Mingde was completely enraged by him, stepped forward and grabbed his neck, and pushed him against the wall, his ten fingers were almost embedded in the skin of his neck.
The strong stimulation made Xu Qichen almost unable to make a sound, and could only move towards the door as hard as he could.
Liu Mingde was already unconscious at this time, shouting hysterically, "I'm going to kill you bastard!"
Xu Qichen overcame the dizziness caused by suffocation, stretched out his arms, and knocked down the two-foot-high sapphire vase placed at the door of the study. There was a sudden sound of shattering, and several servants on the second floor heard the sound and came to see this vase. The scene immediately pulled Liu Ming away, Xu Qichen escaped from danger, and slowly slid down with his back against the wall until he sat on the ground.
Fortunately, Liu Mingde has been smoking opium and visiting brothels for so many years, and his body is already weak. Otherwise, Xu Qichen would have to be strangled half of his life if he didn't die.
Xu Qichen fell to the ground, and a servant carried him downstairs.Master Xie, who heard about this on the phone, hurried back to Xie's mansion.
"Where's Lin'er?"
Seeing that the master was so angry, the girl standing at the door said timidly: "Master Lin is lying in the room, and the doctor he invited left."
Mr. Xie went upstairs on crutches, and when he saw Xu Qichen lying on the bed weakly, with the finger prints on his neck still red, he immediately became angry: "What's going on!"
Only then did the butler speak, "Just now... Young Master Lin and I were checking the account books in the study. Young Master Biao rushed in suddenly and grabbed Master Lin by the collar. I persuaded him to make peace, but Young Master Biao ignored it. , Later, Master Lin let me go out first, and he told Master Biao, who knew that later..."
Master Xie's crutches poked heavily on the ground a few times, "Then why is he going to the study?!"
The butler explained: "Young Master Biao is not satisfied with the residence assigned by Young Master Lin, but Young Master Lin has already said that you can change rooms with him, but Young Master Biao is just..."
Master Xie slapped the cabinet next to the bed with his palm, "Where's that evil one?!"
Several servants remained silent, Master Xie got angry and asked again, and then someone timidly said: "Just now I saw that Young Master Biao called the driver to go out, and said he was going to the theater to relieve his anger."
"This evil..."
Xu Qichen opened his eyes at this moment, sat up with difficulty propping his body on his elbows, "...Grandfather, you are here."
Master Xie immediately sat down by the bed, "Stop talking, that villain is so ruthless, I think he wants your life!"
Xu Qichen coughed a few times, touched his neck, and said in a weak voice, "Cousin, he was just confused for a moment, grandfather, don't take it seriously."
"Confused for a while?" Master Xie tightly held the crutch in his hand, "He has been confused all his life!"
The girl on the side couldn't help it and finally said: "Master, Master Lin is so good-natured that he even excused Master Biao. Just now we all saw the truth. Master Biao yelled at me while pinching Master Lin's neck." It took a lot of effort to kill you, a bastard, and Master Lin couldn't even stand up at that time."
Xu Qichen glanced at the girl and remembered that when she was pouring tea before, she accidentally spilled some tea on Liu Mingde's body, and he was the one who blocked her from being tortured by Liu Mingde.
"Master, Young Master Lin is very kind to everyone in the mansion, and he is patient with Young Master Biao again and again, but Young Master Biao has scolded Young Master Lin countless times in private, and he has said all kinds of dirty words..."
"Okay Xiaoyu, don't talk about it." Xu Qichen coughed a few times, "Grandfather, let's leave this matter alone. Cousin only said such things when he was in a hurry, and he definitely didn't do it on purpose."
Master Xie's face was gloomy, and it took a while before he spoke, "You have worked hard these days, take a good rest." After saying that, he dismissed the servants in the room and let him sleep. Xu Qichen nodded and watched Master Xie leave the room , Lying in the quilt for a while, he sat up, walked to the desk with his neck, picked up the pen and wrote something.
Liu Mingde also didn't come back for dinner.Mr. Xie's face has always been ugly. Xie's mansion is so big, and this matter quickly spread throughout the mansion, and the relatives in the house are also talking about it. If some punishment is not imposed, it will be difficult to convince the public, let alone him himself. Originally, he also hated this grandson who behaved mischievously.
In the early hours of the morning, Liu Mingde returned to Xie's mansion reeking of alcohol, and made a fuss again. Xu Qichen heard the movement in the room, so he put on his coat and went downstairs to help Liu Mingde. Liu Mingde wasn't too drunk. Duo, when he saw Xu Qichen supporting him, he became angry again, and pushed him away with a wave of his hand, "Get out of here, you bastard."
Xu Qichen was not annoyed, a few girls helped him up, and he went back to his room to rest.
On New Year's Eve, Xie's family was full of joy. Xu Qichen took care of everything properly. All Xie's relatives praised him, but Liu Mingde was in a different situation. He didn't even change his clothes early in the morning, reeking of alcohol. Then he was called to Mr. Xie's room.
"What's going on with what happened yesterday! I think you have taken the courage to act wildly in Xie's mansion!"
Liu Mingde looked foolish, "That kid offended me first!"
"You still dare to quibble!" Master Xie pointed at his face, "Why are you so embarrassed? There are so many eyes staring up and down in the house, and they all know how you target Lin'er, so what else can you quibble about! "
"He bought people's hearts!"
"Shut up!" Master Xie stood up, "Go and apologize to Lin'er, or get the hell out of Xie's mansion!"
Liu Mingde was furious, but he didn't dare to get angry in front of Mr. Xie, so he had to suppress his anger and enter Xu Qichen's room.After entering, he found that he was asleep with his eyes closed, only spit on the ground, and left without doing anything.
Xu Qichen closed his eyes, and when he heard him slam the door shut, he slowly opened his eyes, took out the pocket watch that Xie Rujun had given him a while ago, opened it for a look, and lay down for a while before getting up from the bed.
The firecrackers rang out again and again, a lot of children were watching the excitement at the gate of Xie Mansion, picking up the burnt firecracker leader, Master Xie specially invited someone to invite a lion dance team to dance at the gate of Xie Mansion in order to celebrate After more than half an hour, the gongs and drums were blaring, so it was very lively.
Master Xie looked at the time. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the dinner was about to start. He said to the housekeeper, "Is Master Lin still resting? Go tell him to get ready, come down."
"Yes, sir."
Just after I finished explaining, I heard someone report: "Master, Miss He is here, and she said that she has something important to say to you."
"Miss He? The youngest daughter of the He family?"
The servant nodded, "Yes."
"Hurry up and invite someone in."
Not long after, He Yanyin walked into Xie's mansion, "Master Xie, happy new year."
"Hey, Yan Yin is here." Mr. Xie stood up from the sofa and walked to He Yan Yin's side, "Why don't you celebrate the New Year at my house today, why don't you give New Year greetings to me, an old man?"
He Yanyin smiled, "Master Xie is teasing me with words." The room was warm, she took off her cloak, Master Xie saw a document in her hand, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? ?”
"Xie Lin asked me to do something." He Yanyin looked upstairs, "I don't know if he is at home now, I want to talk to him."
Master Xie nodded, he was very appreciative of Xie Lin's relationship with He Yanyin, "Yes, just now I called my servant..."
At this moment, the servant who had just gone upstairs suddenly ran out of the room. When he went downstairs, his feet were swollen, and he almost crawled down. He kept muttering, "Master, master, Master Lin he……"
Master Xie frowned, "What happened to Master Lin?"
The servant was trembling with fright, glanced at He Yanyin, then at Mr. Xie, swallowed, and pointed to the upstairs room with the open door, "Master Lin, he, seems to have died..."
Master Xie's heart skipped a beat, He Yanyin immediately stepped forward to support her, and reprimanded sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about during the Chinese New Year!"
The servant fell to his knees with a plop, "Master, Miss He, how dare I..."
Master Xie's hands began to tremble, but he was unwilling to believe it no matter what, "Impossible, this is impossible."
"Master Xie, don't be in a hurry, I'm a doctor, I'll go up with you to see what's going on." After He Yanyin finished speaking, she ordered the servant just now to help Master Xie, and followed them upstairs.
There was no one else in the room, and the three of them walked in together. Xu Qichen lay motionless on the bed, making no sound at all, as if he was in a deep sleep. As soon as Master Xie entered, he called his name several times.
"Lin'er, Lin'er?"
When he stepped forward to touch it, Xu Qichen's hands were cold, and he touched his face again. Master Xie couldn't stand up immediately, and almost fell to the ground, but was supported by He Yanyin, "Master Xie, let me take a look, maybe it's just a shock. .”
He Yanyin took off her gloves, put her fingers under Xu Qichen's nose and probed, and sure enough she was no longer breathing, then opened her eyelids to check again.Master Xie at the side still held a sliver of hope, and was burning with anxiety, "What's wrong with him? Is there any help?"
He Yanyin sighed, "Master Xie, to tell you the truth, he is indeed not breathing. I need to check his heartbeat now." After speaking, she lifted the quilt to expose her upper body, and put her ear on her left chest, feeling his breath. There was something in the left breast pocket, so he took it out, then leaned down again, and listened carefully for a while.
Mr. Xie is also a person who has experienced many storms. Although he was thrilled at the moment, he still held his breath. But when he saw He Yanyin's expression, he knew it in his heart, but he still didn't want to believe what was happening in front of him with a little luck. fact.
"Go... go and invite Dr. Zhao over..."
At this moment, He Yanyin suddenly said, "Master Xie, to tell you the truth, I came here today because it is related to Dr. Zhao from your house. He may have been arrested by the police."
Master Xie didn't know the situation, and was shocked, "What did you say?"
He Yanyin handed the document in her hand to Master Xie, "Actually, Xie Lin should tell you about this matter. He found out that there was something wrong with his father's daily medicine, so he brought some of the medicine to me when no one was paying attention. I helped him test it, and this is my test result. Young Master Xie’s medicine does contain poison, and the daily dosage is not much, so it’s hard to detect, but over time, the damage to the human body is extremely serious.”
She sighed, "At first, Xie Lin was just wondering why his father was getting worse and worse after being treated for so long, so please let me help to find out the reason."
Master Xie kept shaking the hand holding the test result, "Who is it?! Who is it?"
He Yanyin unfolded the paper that was just taken out of Xu Qichen's coat pocket, took a rough look at it, and handed it to Master Xie, "Master Xie, this is just taken out of his pocket, please take a look."
Master Xie took the paper, on it was a letter written by Xu Qichen himself, after reading the contents carefully, he almost fainted.
grandfather,
After much hesitation, the grandson decided to write this letter.Now the grandson is in a very difficult situation, so he has to guard against it.
At Ms. He's party a few days ago, the grandson accidentally overheard the conversation between his aunt and cousin. The words seemed to mention his father's illness and the family doctor. But at that time, the grandson didn't know his background. Don't dare to speculate wantonly.
Now that I am returning to my family, serving my father, thinking about what happened that day, I feel that something is wrong, so I turn to Ms. He, who has returned from studying medicine overseas, to help me investigate the drugs my father used. Ms. He has not given me an answer yet, and I have never told He. Regarding the matter of the banquet day, the young lady just asked her to test the medicine for me.But my cousin seemed to know that I was the one who broke the conversation between the two of them at that time, and threatened my grandson many times, fearing that the truth would not be revealed, so I wrote this letter just in case.If something really happened to the grandson, please contact Ms. He as soon as possible to find out the truth!
Sincerely, Lin Er
"Come on! Go and tie up that evil barrier! Shut it up in the firewood room and don't make any noise!" In a hurry, Master Xie coughed a few times, and He Yanyin comforted him, "Master Xie, death cannot be resurrected, please take care of yourself .”
"The grandson I have worked so hard to find, I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."
Seeing the servant leaving the room in a hurry, He Yanyin hesitated for a while, and said, "Master Xie, I just read that the cause of Xie Lin's death was taking sleeping pills, but this personal letter is not his suicide note, so it must not be suicide. Is Lin sick and injured, need to take medicine?"
Master Xie frowned, "Lin'er was injured yesterday, and took some medicines to relieve pain and remove blood stasis." He glanced at the table, "It's these medicines."
He Yanyin checked and shook her head, "No, none of these medicines will kill you." She glanced at Master Xie, "I suspect that Xie Lin's medicine was secretly changed."
"Master Xie, Xie Lin's body is almost completely cold. I think he has been dead for a while. Today is New Year's Eve... It seems that many people from the Xie family have come to Xie's mansion. At this time, it is involved in the internal struggle of the family. It is really inappropriate to make a public announcement."
"Kelin'er..."
He Yanyin said again: "In addition, I believe that you, Master Xie, are also aware that Xie Lin has been protecting people from evil since he was born. Although I am a medical student, sometimes I have to believe things from my ancestors. The leg disease also saved Young Master Song from disaster, he had evil spirits on him, and now he died in vain..."
People who do business are most particular about Feng Shui. In Master Xie's life, his only son had a poor life, and his only grandson died after returning to his family. Even those who don't believe in these things can't help but be afraid, "Then... what do you mean?"
"We Chinese pay attention to burial. Master Xie, today is the time of the new year. If we don't deal with this matter as soon as possible, I am afraid that the next year will be..."
He Yanyin's words made Mr. Xie feel numb in his heart. He was very superstitious in the first place, and he couldn't help being afraid when he saw this situation.
What's more, now that the entire family is gathered in Xie's mansion, if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, I am afraid that the panic will spread all over the river the next day, and no one will dare to patronize Xie's shop by then.
"This matter... really needs to be dealt with as soon as possible." Master Xie stood up, walked to the door, called a few servants, gave some orders, turned back to the room, saw He Yanyin still guarding the bed, and said with difficulty, "Yan Yan Yin... this matter..."
He Yanyin couldn't hide the disappointment on her face, but she still got up and said, "Master Xie, don't worry, I have known Xie Lin before, and we can be regarded as friends. Now that something like this happened to him, my heart aches, so naturally I won't say anything , not to mention that he trusts me very much, and I have entrusted him with all my trust, I hope Master Xie must punish the real culprit, and give him justice with Young Master Xie, who has been suffering for many years."
After saying that, He Yanyin took her leave and left Xie's house, leaving Mr. Xie sitting in the room alone.
He thought that this only seedling could continue the incense for his Xie family, but the world is unpredictable, and his only son and grandson were killed by his own family.
The sound of firecrackers outside still hasn't stopped.
There were more than a dozen tables set up for the lively New Year's Eve family banquet, but no one noticed that a few servants took advantage of the chaos to secretly store the young master's body, secretly transported it to the Xie family's mausoleum ten miles away, and buried it hastily in a temporary nanmu coffin.
He Yanyin's words lingered in Master Xie's heart for a long time, and he was really anxious, so he invited a fortune teller to take a test, and what he said was similar to He Yanyin, even more exaggerated.
Mr. Xie paid a high price to invite an expert to secretly cast spells upstairs. Hearing the spells and incantations chanted by the expert, and laughter came from downstairs, Mr. Xie felt uneasy.
He Yanyin went home, had a quick meal, the phone rang, she answered the phone and wanted to change clothes and leave.
"Where are you going for the New Year's Eve?"
"I have something to do in the clinic, I have to go." He Yanyin hugged her mother, said a few words, left the He mansion, and drove to the back door of Lin's house.
Lin Nianzhi had been waiting in the cold wind for a long time, and when he saw the headlights coming, he walked in to have a look, and it was indeed He Yanyin.
Lin Nianzhi hurriedly got into the car, "It's finally here, is everything going well?"
He Yanyin nodded, "Well, my confidant has just replied to me, saying that he saw them go to Moling."
"Then we have to hurry up."
The two drove to Moling, and it was already late when they arrived. There was a black car parked at the foot of the mountain. They looked carefully and found that the other party got out of the car.
It's Song Yuanyan.
He Yanyin got out of the car, "Why are you so fast?"
"I guessed that they would be buried here, so I calculated the time and came right away." Song Yuanyan looked very anxious, "Hurry up, almost five hours have passed."
He Yanyin nodded, and the three of them went up to Moling. This small hill was bought by the Xie family a long time ago and used as a cemetery.Over the years, there are eighty if not a hundred bones buried in this hill.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the bare branches in winter were torn in the howling wind, leaving weird shadows shaking on the ground.Apart from the three of them, there was no one else's shadow on this hill. Lin Nianzhi held a lantern, and the faint light shone on the ground. He felt that the place was eerie and terrifying.
Lin Nianzhi was wearing a hat and scarf, and still felt terribly cold. He pressed against He Yanyin tightly, with goose bumps all over his body, "Yan, Yanyin, why do I feel so cold..."
He Yanyin held her hand, "Don't be afraid, you are a person with modern education, you must believe in science."
"Science? I'm afraid she only has metaphysics in her mind now." Song Yuanyan couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw her cowering and cowering, "If I knew you were so timid, I shouldn't have called you here to drag you down. "
Although Lin Nianzhi was terribly afraid, he was even more unwilling to be underestimated by Song Yuanyan, "Who said I was afraid! This lady is not afraid!" Then he let go of He Yanyin's arm, took two steps forward, and exerted all his strength He stomped his feet, clapped his hands and pretended to be relaxed, warming his body, "Miss Ben is just cold, how about it? Is it okay to be cold?"
Song Yuanyan looked at her expressionlessly, "Okay, of course. Miss, look at your feet."
Lin Nianzhi lowered his head, and there was still a fruit plate and incense candles.
"Why are you jumping around in front of someone's grave?"
