It's just that when they first fell in love, they both fell in love with the same person, a man known only as Xu Juren.

At first, Li Lianxin met Mr. Xu and secretly decided to spend her life with him. Mr. Xu promised to marry her, but he turned around and hooked up with Li Lianxin's good sister Li Yanjun. There was even news in the village that the two were going to get married.

Li Lianxin naturally didn't believe it. She first went to Mr. Xu to ask for an explanation, but Mr. Xu didn't give her a direct explanation. After several times, Li Lianxin roughly guessed what was going on.

Soon, word spread through the village that the couple would soon be getting married. Heartbroken, Li Lianxin discovered she was pregnant with Xu Juren's child. Desperate to win back her lover's affections, she immediately sought him out to share the great news. However, Xu Juren, already tired of Li Lianxin, showed no sign of joy and even urged her to secretly abort the child. Li Lianxin never imagined her sincere love would be met with such a fate.

Li Lianxin, who could not accept her lover marrying someone else, once again asked Xu Juren out. This time she was well prepared. She first took him to an abandoned wellhead, and then pushed him into the deep well. No one knew whether he drowned or fell to death.

To this day, no one has found Xu Juren's body. At that time, the villagers thought Xu Juren didn't want to marry Li Yanjun and ran away secretly. Who knew that the pale and thin scholar was pushed into a well and his body was not found.

Hua Yu told grandmother Xie the news that Li had killed Mr. Xu.

Although Li Yanjun knew that Hua Ciyuan was Xu Juren's child, she had believed for so many years that the man she admired in her youth did not love her and ran away secretly. She was resentful and hateful. Now that she knew that this was not the case, she could no longer sit still when she heard that Hua Ciyuan had passed the imperial examination just like Xu Juren.

Why had Li Lianxin boasted and belittled her in front of her for so many years, both openly and covertly? If her son had been a loser, she would have laughed her teeth off, but once her son became successful... Filled with grief and resentment, Li Yanjun listened to the young man's instigation, tricked Hua Ciyuan into the square well in the ancestral hall, and pushed him in...

The love and hatred that have lasted for three generations have been entangled and returned to the starting point.

"...I just told Grandma Xie that Dad had passed the imperial examination and would become an official in the future, and Grandma Xie couldn't stand it for a moment... I just watched from afar and didn't do anything..."

Hua Yu blinked and spoke in a low voice.

"Enough!" Hua Shi interrupted him in surprise.

When she came back to her senses, she was shocked to find that she had a cold sweat on her back without knowing when, and the sweat was sticking to her clothes.

He induced and exploited Grandma Xie, and then what happened next happened...

Hua Yu's joyful expression and harsh words forced Hua Shi to believe...

He watched helplessly as Hua Ciyuan drowned in the Square Well, and then watched as Li brutally murdered the grandmother of the Xie family. In the end...it was very likely that he was the one who pushed Li into the lake, causing her to drown...

She never! Never thought... that a boy of only sixteen would do such a cruel thing!

Even if he hated Hua Ciyuan and Li so much, he shouldn't have killed them! It's not worth it, it's totally not worth it...

No matter how scumbag these two people are, they shouldn't kill others with their own hands.

Hua Shi covered her face and hung her head.

The mixed thoughts are becoming more and more chaotic.

Flower Encounter...

"Hey...! Is anyone in the house? I brought your coffin!"

My churning thoughts were suddenly interrupted when a voice suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard.

Hua Shi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked over: "Someone is here, just carry it in..."

Then, there was a rustling sound, and the coffin was carried in by two people.

Hua Shi took out a tael of silver from his belt and handed it over.

The carpenter weighed his hands and looked up at Hua Shi. He noticed her red eyes and paused before speaking, "My dear girl, please don't be too sad. The dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences."

Hua Shi nodded in a trance.

The carpenter coughed and continued, "Do you want to order another coffin for your grandmother? I can deliver it to you tomorrow morning without any delay."

Hua Shi raised his eyes, was stunned for a moment, then reacted, raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes, and said, "Order two more pairs."

“Eh! Eh…? Two pairs?” The carpenter just responded, and then was stunned again.

Two? Someone died in the family?

"Same style, two pairs." Hua Shi nodded again.

The carpenter peered into the room twice before cautiously looking at the flowers and asking, "Why do you want two? Is it...?"

"My grandfather... is gone too..." Hua Shi said in a pause.

When the carpenter heard the dejected tone, he immediately imagined a lot of things in his mind. He didn't dare to ask any more questions and left quickly with his two apprentices.

What happened... Two people died in two days, which is a big deal... Three people died in these two days, which is the first time that has happened in the village... It's an unlucky year.

Hua Shi sighed lightly, turned around, and saw Hua Yu standing behind her steadily.

The boy stared at her with his dark eyes and asked expressionlessly, "You don't believe me?"
