Just remember

"Actually, it wasn't like this at home in the early years." Qingfeng sighed quietly, turned his head out of the window, lost in memory, "I was not very sensible at that time, and I ran wildly behind the big brother and the second brother all day long, and my father didn't like it. She taught people, always smiling, and my mother and my eldest mother and second mother had a very harmonious relationship. When they had nothing to do, they often sat together to embroider and drink tea. Until I was eight years old, my elder brother had a sudden illness and couldn’t be saved. After that, my aunt washed her face with tears every day, and my father was also depressed for a while, and then the fourth aunt came in for some reason. Then, the fourth brother was born, and my father smiled again. But seeing the fourth brother getting more and more favored, I Both Niang and Erniang are not happy anymore, and the atmosphere in the family has gradually become more subtle, and now, it is almost incompatible. Heh, sometimes thinking about it, it would be easier and happier to be born in that ordinary farmhouse."

"I heard that the fourth madam is the eldest madam's sister?" Chun Jinran remembered the gossip she had inquired on the way to Shuzhong.

"Well, there are three younger sisters in the aunt's family, and the fourth aunt is the youngest." Qingfeng said here, smiled bitterly, and continued, "So my mother always said that the aunt brought her sister in on purpose. Because the eldest brother left Now, the aunt was worried that she would not be able to rely on her in the future, so she insisted on marrying her own sister into Qingmen. In this way, when the fourth aunt had a boy and a half girl, she would also be considered a half mother. I will adopt one to raise."

"For family property?" Chun Jinran could only think so.

Qingfeng shook his head: "Not all of them. Don't look at my aunt with a cold face from morning to night, but she actually cares about my father. One year my father caught a cold and was ill in bed all winter. She took care of him non-stop. In winter, she often hides in places where no one is around and wipes her tears secretly. I have seen it several times. Later, my father recovered from illness, but her body almost collapsed, and she has been recuperating for a long time. So I think, the reason why she let the fourth aunt Entering the door, apart from worrying about not being able to rely on her in the future, I also hope that Fourth Aunt can help her continue to fight for some position in Dad's heart."

The youngest son died, her beauty was already old, and she had to listen to newcomers laughing all day long. Chun Jinran felt that she could understand Jiang's helplessness and misery.It's a pity that the man who made her fall into this helplessness and misery may not be able to understand, and he may even think that he has done a good job.He treats his wife with respect as a guest, treats his concubines tenderly and pampers them, never abandons them, never flirts with women, he is simply a model husband.If you still want to ask him to stick to one end and never change until death, then you really don't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

"So," Qingfeng didn't know what Chun Jinran was thinking, but somehow shared the same emotion with him, "Since ancient times, the most stupid thing is love infatuation."

In just seven words, it expresses the love of the world.

It's just that when these words came out of the mouth of the romantic third son of Qingmen, I always felt that there was something wrong.

But at the moment, Chun Jin couldn't bear to think about these things, so he hurriedly continued to ask: "The fourth lady, why did you go?"

"Fourth aunt was weak. After giving birth to the fourth brother, she didn't take care of her body. She coughed all the time, and finally coughed up blood. She died soon." Qingfeng said, "After that, the fourth brother was raised by the aunt. until now."

Chun Jinran: "How does the eldest lady treat Young Master Qingyu?"

"How should I put it?" Qingfeng frowned, as if looking for a suitable explanation, "Mother is cold-tempered, and her emotions and anger are invisible, so you can't see what she thinks about the fourth brother. But I also Having said that, the aunt needs the fourth brother to help her fight for her position with her father, not to mention that she and the fourth brother are related by blood, and she should love this son instead of harming the fourth brother. My father dotes on her, and the food and clothing are the best, but her temperament is pure and gentle, I think this is also inseparable from the teachings of my aunt."

"Young Master, you have a modest personality?" Chun Jinran was quite surprised by this, as usually a spoiled child would be somewhat spoiled.

Qingfeng misunderstood what he meant, and explained: "The fourth brother has a very good personality. What makes me unbearable is my father's partiality, but this is my father's fault and has nothing to do with the fourth brother."

Chun Jinran: "The young master is not proud of being favored?"

Qingfeng: "No."

Chun Jinran: "Do you respect brother?"

Qingfeng: "Respect."

Chun Jinran: "Do you usually study literature and martial arts?"

Qingfeng: "They are all hardworking."

Chun Jinran: "... whoever becomes your father will be partial, okay?"

Qingfeng: "But I'm not useless."

Chun Jinran: "For example?"

Qingfeng: "Natural beauty is hard to give up on, poetry and songs are full of heart, he is lucky enough to go to Guanghan, dare to provoke Chang'e's soul and dreams!"

Chun Jinran: "..."

Qingfeng: "Young Hero Chun?"

Chun Jinran: "Let's talk about your second mother and second brother."

In fact, Lin's and Qingping's situation is not too complicated. Lin's natal family runs an escort agency, and after marrying Qing Changqing, she seldom interacts with the family.In Qingfeng's mouth, her son Qingping, just as Chun Jinran observed, has a dull personality and is not good at words.

"So the second wife and the second son are very dissatisfied with the master of the Qingmen who dotes on the youngest son too much, and may even hand over the Qingmen to him to inherit, right?" in human relationships.

"Second Niang must be dissatisfied, but Second Brother..." Qingfeng sighed, "I'm really not sure. We can't speak two words a year, and he never shows any joy, anger, sorrow or joy on his face. .”

"What about Jiang Yulong?" Chun Jinran thought of this mysterious person.

A look of disdain flashed in Qingfeng's eyes, but Chun Jinran caught it very quickly. It was obvious that Mr. Jiang was not popular with the third young master.

"He came when the fourth brother was just born," Qingfeng said, "Didn't the fourth aunt be in poor health at that time, the Jiang family sent someone to visit, and somehow he followed. Behind Jiang His family wanted to leave, but he refused to leave. He insisted on accepting his aunt as a godmother, begging for nothing to stay here to serve her. The aunt's brother and sister-in-law died early, and there was only one child left. The aunt probably felt pity for him. Discuss with father and leave him in Qingmen."

Chun Jinran was surprised: "Is he the eldest lady's adoptive son now?"

"No," Qingfeng snorted contemptuously, "Didn't you hear that he is still calling aunt now, the aunt doesn't recognize him at all."

Chun Jinran nodded, and said, "Let's talk about Uncle Sun and those maidservants."

"Uncle Sun has been in Qingmen since he was a child. He served my father after serving my father. If you want to say who is the least likely to harm my younger brother in the whole Qingmen, it must be him. Taozi and Ling'er are the maidservants of the aunt. You are still living with the aunt all the time, so the two of them can be regarded as indirectly serving the fourth brother. As for Yanzi, she is indeed the fourth brother's personal maid, but she can't even have the heart to trample an ant to death on weekdays. I dare to use my Reputation guarantees that she is definitely not a murderer."

Chun Jinran: "How can your reputation be guaranteed!"

Qingfeng: "..."

Chun Jinran: "Forget it, whether you are romantic or carefree, everyone has their own ambitions, and I have no right to comment."

Qingfeng: "Actually, my reputation is not bad..."

Chun Jinran: "That's an illusion!"

After talking about the Qing family, only Fang Shulu and Pei Xiaoyi were left, almost subconsciously, Chun Jinran put Pei Xiaoyi at the end.

"The Fang family and my family are family friends. This generation's children have less contact, but in the previous generation, my father and uncle Fang played together almost from childhood. Going to each other's house is the same as being in our own house. So this time the fourth brother fell ill. , The Qishan faction immediately asked Fang Shulu to come and visit," Qingfeng stopped here, thought for a moment, and then said, "I can't think of a reason why Fang Shulu would harm the fourth brother."

Chun Jinran nodded, and he also agreed that in the case of Qingyu's poisoning, Fang Shulu had no opportunity to poison him—Qingyu had already been poisoned before he came, and secondly, he had no motive for poisoning—Qingyu's death meant nothing to him and Qi. There is no benefit to the mountain faction, so it is really reluctant to say that there is suspicion.

"Then... Where's Pei Xiaoyi?" Chun Jinran didn't know why it was so difficult to say this name, as if something was wrong with him.

Qingfeng didn't notice Chun Shaoxia's abnormality, so he answered on his own: "This time, my fourth brother is sick, and many sects have sent people to visit. Tianranju has a long history with Qingmen, so it's not surprising to send people here. But before I The Tianranju disciples I've seen are all women, so it's quite new for a man to appear suddenly. But still the same sentence, I can't think of any reason why he would harm the fourth brother."

Yes, there must be a reason for everything, and here in Qingmen, it is the motive of poisoning.

If what Qingfeng said is the truth, Chun Jinran thought, then it seems that the only ones who are most likely to poison Qingyu are Lin, Yuan, Qingping and Qingfeng. Factors in the distribution of property.But besides these people, there was another Jiang Yulong, which he couldn't ignore no matter what.There is no direct motive on this person, because even if Qingyu dies, the Qing family still has Qingping and Qingfeng, and it will definitely not be the turn of someone with a foreign surname to inherit.It's also unlikely that it was to monopolize Jiang's favor, because in Qingfeng's description, Jiang's behavior did not fit the word at all.But I don't know why...

Qiang Qiang——

The sudden clash of weapons interrupted Chun Jinran's thoughts, he and Qingfeng looked at each other, and the latter said uncertainly: "It seems to be the second brother's side..."

Chun Jinran yelled: "Not good!" After finishing speaking, before Qingfeng could react, he followed the sound and jumped away!

Qingfeng also realized that something was wrong, so he quickly followed!

Qingping's residence is next to Qingfeng, and Chunjinran has arrived in the blink of an eye.But it was still a step too late.Qingping fell to the ground, still holding the saber in his hand, and a dagger was stuck in his chest, blood kept coming out of his mouth, staining the ground red.

"Second Brother!" Qingfeng rushed over, tremblingly helped Qingping up, his voice had changed, "Who did it, Second Brother, talk to me!"

Maybe Qingping wanted to talk, but he couldn't anymore, every time he struggled to speak, he would only spit out more blood, and after a while, he closed his eyes in his brother's arms.

Qingfeng hugged his elder brother tightly, raised his head to the sky and shouted loudly: "Ahhh—"

In that piercing voice, there was anger, hatred, sadness, and pain.

Chun Jinran turned her head away, she couldn't bear to watch or listen anymore.
