Chapter 43 Carry Her

How could Gong Mingcheng not understand his brother's feelings, and how could he accept it?

However, after seeing what Miss Chang had shown and what had happened in the family over the years, he could not help but believe it, and he dared not to believe it.

He patted his brother's back and said in a deep voice, "Second brother, the Gong family can't have any more trouble."

"But..." Gong Minglou wanted to say something and was hesitating when Qin suddenly interrupted him.

"I believe it." She looked at Gong Minglou, "Second Master, Ze'er could easily ride a pony over a fence when he was six, but he fell on flat ground when he was seven."

His neck was broken and he died instantly.

The pain of losing a son was like cutting flesh and grinding bones. Qin's eyes were filled with tears. "Second Master, that's flat ground."

Three years later, the scene of my son falling off the horse is still extremely clear in my mind. It hurts so much that I have difficulty breathing when I think about it.

She still can't accept that her son is gone just like that.

The man's big hand patted her back, and she tried to calm down and continued, "I just saw my sister-in-law and Jin'er. They are both better than usual, which shows that Miss Chang has some skills.

What happened in the past cannot be undone, but I always hope for the best for my family in the future. Second Master, listen to your eldest brother and find out what your father is holding against you.

We have a daughter. Losing a son is already half my life. If anything happens to you or our daughter, I won't have any reason to live."

Qin was the wife that Gong Minglou had chosen for himself. They were very loving after their marriage, but ever since their son died, Qin seemed to have aged ten years and no longer had a smile on her face.

Qin's body was damaged when she gave birth to her daughter and she could no longer get pregnant. Their only son was gone. Her husband could not be childless, so Qin reluctantly took a concubine for Gong Minglou to carry on his family line.

After a year of his concubine failing to conceive, Qin took two more wives in for him, but each of them gave birth to a daughter.

Someone else came between the loving couple. Qin couldn't stand her husband being close to another woman, so she simply turned a blind eye.

She became increasingly distant from Gong Minglou, and the relationship between the couple was no longer as difficult as before.

But both of them had each other in their hearts. When Gong Minglou saw Qin crying sadly, his heart began to relax.

"But my father never told us anything, and my mother is gone, so how can we find out?

If the noise is too loud, not only will it make others see the excitement, but what if, what if something is discovered…"

No one is perfect. He respects and loves his parents. When he looks at them from the perspective of a son, he always beautifies them invisibly. But if you really look into it...

He didn't want to ruin the image of his parents in his heart, and he was even more worried about finding out something that shouldn't be seen by others, which would damage his parents' reputation after their death.

After all, he didn't believe in the ghost story, so he didn't want to risk his parents' reputation, but he couldn't bear to refuse his wife.

The study fell silent.

It was rare for Qin to take the initiative to speak today. As a woman, she could not bear the responsibility for the reputation of the Gong family.

Gong Mingcheng wanted to investigate. The scene of his father climbing the tree was like a sharp knife constantly twisting his heart, and the words "family destroyed" made him terrified.

But the Gong Mansion and his parents do not belong to him alone. Although he is the eldest brother, he has to respect his younger brother's wishes, especially what Miss Chang said, no one in this world can withstand in-depth scrutiny.

He was thinking about how to convince his brother.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the study door.

Gong Mingcheng's attendant's voice rang out anxiously, "Master, Second Master, the Second Miss fell on the way here and hit her head on a stone. There's a lot of blood..."

The second young lady of the Gong family is the eldest daughter of Qin and Gong Minglou, and is seven years old this year.

The death of her son left a shadow in Qin's heart. Without waiting for her attendant to finish speaking, she reflexively opened the study door and ran out.

The Gong brothers hurried to catch up.

When the three arrived, Miss Gong Er had already been carried back to her own yard and the doctor was cleaning her up.

There was a cut at the corner of her left eye. If it had gone a little further forward, her left eye would have been lost. Even a wound like this, if not treated properly, would probably leave a scar.

In this world, if a woman has a scar on her face, her future is ruined.

The second young lady saw her parents and cried aggrievedly, "Dad, Mom, I'm in pain."

Qin bit her lip hard, her whole body shaking uncontrollably. The huge fear of losing her child enveloped her. She knelt down in front of Gong Minglou and squeezed out a choked sob from her throat, "Second Master, check it out."

The moment Gong Minglou saw his daughter's injuries, his heart was completely shaken. He pulled his wife up and held her in his arms, "Investigate, let's investigate."

His daughter's cry of pain made him feel that his reputation was no longer important.

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.

Now, Wei Qingyan and Shi Yu left Gong's house.

Wei Qingyan was about to perform Qinggong when someone grabbed her sleeve. Shi Yu squatted in front of her and said, "Excuse me, young lady, you've been tired tonight. I'll carry you on my back as a thank you for saving Sister Shi Ran."

The Gong family will definitely ask you for help tomorrow, so you'd better take this opportunity to have a good rest."

Tonight really took a lot of energy.

Judging from Gong Mingcheng's attitude towards his eldest sister, the Gong family will definitely agree to resolve the grudge, which will not be an easy task at that time.

Now was a chance to replenish his vitality. Wei Qingyan looked at Shi Yu with deep eyes and lay on his back, "Thank you."

Shi Yu carried the man on his back and used his Qinggong to walk to another street. He then slowed down and walked forward. "Miss, are you sure about the Gong family's affairs?"

"No clue yet."

Not all dates for resolving grievances are the same. Gong Changying gave her seven days, which means that if you try hard to resolve the grievance, seven days is enough.

Thinking that if the two of them had something to talk about, Shi Yu would not use his Qinggong skills. This way, he could lie on his back for a while longer and regain some vitality.

Wei Qingyan casually found a topic to talk about, "How much does the prince know about Madam Wu?"

This was exactly what Shi Yu wanted, and he also wanted to carry her for a while, so he lifted her up and said slowly, "Mrs. Wu's maiden name is Liu, and she was an old official in the previous dynasty.

When the previous emperor established the Wei Dynasty, some of the old ministers of the previous dynasty were not deposed, but they were not respected as much as the new ministers who followed the previous emperor, so the Liu family declined.

The daughter of a declining family naturally could not be promised a good marriage. When she married Wu Yuchu, he was just a small county magistrate.

But within a few years, he climbed to the position of Jiedushi of Ganzhou, and later became the Minister of War. Wu Yuchu respected his wife very much during his lifetime.

But at the moment, I haven't found anything remarkable about Madam Wu. Like most women, she is content to stay in the inner chambers, taking care of her husband and raising her children..."

Wei Qingyan had also heard what Shi Yu said these days. She even knew more than Shi Yu through the death scene of Wu Xinyuan, the magistrate of Yu County.

Wu Xinyuan’s real master was not Wu Yuchu, but Mrs. Wu who was hiding in the back house.

Wu Yuchu's official career was so smooth because Mrs. Wu had someone behind her.

No one knows who that person is, so Du Xueyi sent someone to keep an eye on her.

The Huangshaling incident was suddenly exposed. If Yan Qing was not killed by the couple, she would definitely suspect that Yan Qing was not dead, and then contact the people who cooperated in killing Yan Qing, so that she could follow the clues to find the real culprit.

If she didn't go looking for the other person, it meant that she was certain that Yan Qing was dead. In this case, Yan Qing's death must have been related to her. At least she knew who killed Yan Qing and where his body was.

Wei Qingyan's cold eyes were filled with murderous intent, but when Shi Yu paused, he leaned his head on his shoulder and closed his eyes.

Perhaps it was because of the merits imprinted on Shi Yu, Wei Qingyan lay on him, feeling inexplicably at ease. He started pretending to be asleep and ended up really falling asleep.

It was not until Shi Yu placed her on Feng Xiaoyuan's bed and turned to leave that Wei Qingyan slowly opened her eyes.
