【Xu Run】Laoshizi

It was already night when Runyu returned to the mansion, the carriage hadn't stopped for the first time, he had already opened the curtain and jumped down, walking quickly towards the mansion.

There was a dead silence in the Qi manor, and occasionally met a few servant girls, but they all lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.Runyu's heart was beating extremely fast, and several voices were screaming in his head, which made him have a splitting headache - it was hard for him to maintain the illusion of stability.

Just now during the banquet, the servants of the Qi family found him and conveyed a piece of news that left him speechless:

His sister Pearl, dead!Zhu'er has been lingering on the sick bed for a long time, and in the past six months she has reached the point where she never leaves home and collapses when the wind blows, but she is just like this, gone?Runyu was caught off guard, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Zhu Er was the sister he watched growing up. They were only three years apart, and they were very close when they were young. Later, although Zhu Er's behavior was upside down and absurd, it always made him feel embarrassed, but in the end it was not a big mistake. He still loves her a lot.

Runyu was dazed for a long while, almost tears came to her eyes, but she heard the servant stammering: "I can't say more, the young master told you to go back quickly."

Runyu didn't care to say another word, and hurriedly followed him back to the house.

He was going to Zhu'er's room, but who wanted the housekeeper to stop him and lead him to his own yard, Runyu was heartbroken, but she didn't lose her mind, and said angrily, "What is this for?"

The housekeeper hesitated to speak: "Young master... you should go and have a look first." As he spoke, he led Runyu outside the courtyard, and he heard the noise in the courtyard from afar. Said: "Let's go together, take him down!"

Another boy's voice said with a sneer: "Okay, the mortal who can take down my grandfather has not yet been born!" After speaking, there were only a few plops, and then the servant's groans came.

The boy's voice was none other than Xu Feng, Runyu's heart tightened, and she rushed into the courtyard, only to see a few strong servants fell to the ground, Xu Feng stood on the steps of the main wing, fisted with both hands, eyes wide open, Looking at everyone aggressively, there was also his elder brother, who was holding a stick as thick as an arm in his hand, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Thief boy, I must ask you to pay for your life today—" He lost his demeanor as he spoke , raised the stick and swung it towards Xufeng. This time, he exerted full strength. If he hit the head, his skin would be ripped apart and his brains would come out. Xu Feng shouted in front of him: "Brother, what are you doing!"

The boss's stick fell and stopped less than half an inch from his face. Seeing this, Xu Feng became furious, and wanted to push Runyu behind him. To see what he can do to me—"

He went to pick up Runyu, but Runyu didn't move and didn't look at him. The back standing in front of Xufeng was like a tall and straight pine and cypress. It was overwhelming, but Runyu was not afraid, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, what are you going to do, Fenghuang is still young, if he offends in any way..."

Xu Feng's heart became hot, and the grievances accumulated in his chest flowed out. He didn't feel it just now, but now he felt like crying. He grabbed Runyu's sleeve and whispered: "Brother..."

Runyu turned around and comforted softly: "Fenghuang, don't be afraid."

"Okay, okay!" The boss sneered. Seeing that Runyu was protecting Xufeng behind him, he was so angry that he threw the stick on the ground, pointed at Xufeng and said, "You only have this kid in your heart, but you still have me. Brother, but there is still this family, but there is still a girl like Zhuer?"

When Runyu heard Zhu'er's name, his eyes immediately turned red. He gritted his teeth and refused to let his voice choke. After taking a few breaths, he said, "Brother, I don't understand what you said. Zhu'er has been ill for a long time. The doctor also said..."

"Pearl didn't die of illness!" The boss sternly said, "She, she was strangled to death!"

Runyu was shocked when he heard this, a chill ran up his spine, he murmured: "Who, who would be so vicious..."

"Ask him!" Old Daoist said, "During the day, he flirted with Pearl in the garden, and your sister-in-law broke it. Seeing that he couldn't do it in the daytime, he broke into Zhu'er's boudoir at night with the intention of doing something wrong. From then on, he strangled her to death!"

Every word and every word, weeping blood, the explosion made Runyu's eyes sway like ghosts, how could Xu Feng be subdued, and retorted loudly: "I haven't touched her finger! She died by herself, what to do with me, Don't spout blood!"

The boss felt like adding fuel to the fire, so he wanted to push Runyu away and fight him desperately, but Runyu said angrily, "Fenghuang, shut up!"

Xu Feng was taken aback, as if he didn't expect Runyu to speak to him so angrily - he didn't know what was going on, Runyu came back late, and he couldn't sleep, so he flipped through books in the study, waiting for Runyu When he came back, he didn't expect these people to break into the yard suddenly, and he couldn't help but say that he was going to tie him up. The boss of the Qi family also said that he raped Zhu'er...

Xu Feng has never been wronged in this life, let alone doing things like this. He doesn't even understand love between a man and a woman, but just by listening to it, he knows that the other party's accusations are extremely dirty, how can he stand it?Immediately, he started to fight with people.When Runyu came back, his heart was beating wildly. Seeing that Runyu was protecting him, he wished he could rush up to hug Runyu and cry aloud. After all, he was a teenager at heart, and he couldn't bear the slightest bit of grievance. He was even more sensitive at this moment. He can't bear a harsh word from someone.

He stared at Runyu blankly, his eyes were a little sore.Runyu gritted her teeth and ignored him, and said to her eldest brother: "Brother, there is a misunderstanding in this, I know Phoenix's character best, he is kind..."

"He committed a murder in the hospital, and he was seen by others!" The boss yelled angrily, "Bring people up!"

As she spoke, several servants came forward with a shivering girl in her arms. The girl's face was full of tears, and her eyes were like Tao'er's with swollen eyes. She was Zhu'er's servant girl. In front of him, he cried and said: "Fourth young master, you have to decide for the young lady. I saw with my own eyes that Fenghuang's clothes were messy, and Miss Cong ran out of the bedroom cursing. I went in and saw that the young lady's body was cold. Palm prints..."

The boss took out a handful of things from his pocket and threw them at Runyu's feet, saying, "I found this in Zhu'er's room. Take a look, do you recognize it?"

Runyu tremblingly stretched out her hand to pick up the thing—it was a few small shiny stones.He still remembered that on the second day when he first met Xu Feng, when Xu Feng saw that these things were missing, he almost lost his temper. I am here.

Even though so long has passed, it is still as clear as yesterday!But at this moment, he only hated himself for not being able to forget everything.Runyu's whole body was cold, he knew that Xu Feng was looking at him, but his body was as heavy as a thousand catties, and he couldn't move.Xu Feng said: "I didn't! I didn't leave it there, I..."

"Do you dare to say that this is not yours?" Old Daoist said, "These small stones are strange in shape and have not been polished. They are scattered beside Zhu'er's body!"

"I, it's mine, but I gave it to her, she asked me for..." Xufeng became more and more anxious, the more he couldn't speak clearly, Runyu didn't say a word, he panicked in his heart, he had never been so scared in his life , he reached out to pull Runyu's sleeve, but Runyu took a step back and avoided him.

"Come here." Runyu said in a deep voice, "Arrest him and lock him in the room. No one is allowed to let him out without my permission."

Xufeng's liver and gallbladder were torn, and tears flowed down unconsciously. He shouted anxiously: "Runyu! How can you not believe me! I don't!" He stretched out his hand in vain, but he could only look at Runyu Avoiding his eyes, he turned his head and left with the boss, he refused to be caught without a fight, and was about to fight when he saw an iron net spread out to block him, there seemed to be a sweet smell in the air, and he Using his spiritual power, his whole body became stiff, his hands and feet became weak, and he was pushed and grabbed into the bedroom and locked up.

"Runyu!" He couldn't move, he could only yell, the yell was full of disappointment and grievance, which made Runyu outside the door tremble all over, his eyes were hot, tears were about to fall, but he just gritted his teeth and held back , to Lao Dao: "Brother, leave this matter to me, and I will give you an explanation, but Fenghuang is my guest after all, if I touch him..."

The boss sneered and said: "You locked him up because you were afraid that I would turn him over to the government? Runyu, your sister is dead, but you are reluctant to drive him out of the firewood room. I think you have lost your mind!"

Runyu endured the blackness in front of her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, leave this matter to me, and I will give you an explanation."

"You take care of yourself." The old man said, "Mother knew that Pearl had gone, and she fainted from crying. You don't think about Pearl or your parents. Wake up!" Extremely disappointed.

Runyu stood where he was, and the boss's servant still held a torch and surrounded his small courtyard tightly.He clenched the few stones in his hand tightly, cut his palm, blood flowed out, and he didn't even realize that, in his arms, close to his body, a crookedly embroidered pouch burned his heart.

A tear slowly rolled down the corner of his eye.
