Chapter 125: Self-destruction
[When he sent the child over, he also told the abbot that the child was not going to become a monk but was just being fostered in the temple.
After giving the host some money, he left without even giving the child a name. Huiwu was the name given to the child by the host.
Wutong Wu, this name hides Huiwu’s life experience.
After Wu Liang handed Hui Wu over to the abbot, he never took the initiative to visit him. It was not until Mrs. Wu came to Liu'an Temple to burn incense that Wu Liang remembered that his child was here.
Huiwu was already four years old at that time. Although the abbot did not ordain him as a monk, he had grown up in a Buddhist temple and believed that he was abandoned by his parents.
So when he saw Wu Liang, he just thought he was the chief incense master in the temple, and never thought that this person was his biological father.
Wu Liang had no intention of taking him back, but seeing that he was living well in the temple, he continued to keep him there and donated some money to him.
From then on, whenever Wu Liang remembered him, he would donate some incense money to Liu'an Temple. If he didn't remember him, he might just ignore him for a few years. 】
After Wu Liang said that Hui Wu and Wu Qiaoyun were half-siblings, they heard Shen Shixu's inner voice in their ears, as well as another voice they had never heard before.
Wu Liang opened his mouth to ask how Shen Shixu knew this, but was blocked by Xu Wanda, who had been standing aside silently eating melons and had kept silent since he arrived, and whispered instructions.
"You are a smart person. You don't need me to tell you what to say and what not to say!"
Wu Liang understood what he meant. To avoid exposing the truth to Madam Wu and the others, he quickly said loudly, "Hui Wu is the child born to me and your mother before we got married. He is your brother. You two are siblings and you must not get married!"
Mrs. Wu lowered her head and looked at Hui Wu and Wu Qiao Yun who were kneeling together. Both of them had lost all color on their faces. Wu Qiao Yun's body was shaking a few times. Hui Wu wanted to help her, but when he stretched out his hand, he stopped.
Finally, seeing that Wu Qiaoyun was about to fall, he reached out and supported her.
Although Mrs. Wu was angry about Wu Liang having an illegitimate child, she could accept it.
Wu Liang already had many concubines in his mansion, and he would go out to visit other women every now and then. Mrs. Wu had long been prepared that he would have an illegitimate child or daughter outside.
But no news had been released for so many years, and Mrs. Wu still thought that Wu Liang was concerned about his son and daughter's reputation and didn't do anything about it. He just had a few illegitimate sons and daughters in the family.
Now it seems that it’s not that they didn’t figure it out, but they kept it a secret after figuring it out, and no news at all has been leaked.
In the end, he hurt his son and his daughter.
Mrs. Wu looked at Wu Qiaoyun, whose eyes were slowly filled with despair, and her heart skipped a beat. She rushed over, snatched Wu Qiaoyun from Hui Wu's arms, and held her in her arms.
"Yun'er is not your fault, nor is it his fault. You are both right. Wu Liang is wrong!"
Mrs. Wu was afraid that Wu Qiaoyun would be upset and something bad would happen to her, so she hugged her in her arms and comforted her.
But it had little effect. Wu Qiaoyun pushed Mrs. Wu away and looked at Mrs. Wu and Wu Liang with disgust and hatred.
"My whole life has been ruined by you!" Wu Qiaoyun screamed at the two of them, "It was fine at the beginning. Although I don't like Shen Zexi, he is a good man. I will live a good life if I marry him.
Why did you go back on your word and marry me to someone else when we were about to get married, an old man whose body was half buried in the ground and whose wife had died?
I even swallowed the betrothal gift that Shen Zexi gave me, causing me to be scolded by people all over the city for being greedy for money and clinging to the powerful and wealthy, and for being a woman serving two husbands. They said I was lowly and lewd, and compared me to the lowest prostitute in a brothel.
Why didn't you think about the fact that I was your own daughter at that time, but you harmed me like this? After the incident, I was sent directly to the temple. If it weren’t for Hui Wu, I would have hanged myself with a rope.
Just when I healed my past heartache and finally found my love, you guys tried your old trick again and gave me to Chen Zexi.
In order to escape your plan, I even accidentally killed someone. I was going to surrender myself in the company of my loved ones.
But you told me that the person I love is my own brother! He is my biological brother! ”
Wu Qiaoyun collapsed. At this moment, there was no hope in her heart, only endless darkness that was swallowing her up bit by bit.
Shen Shixu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that Wu Qiaoyun couldn't bear this blow and wanted to commit suicide?
Put yourself in their shoes. No one wants to live in this situation, but as a bystander, Shen Shixu still hopes that Wu Qiaoyun will not die because of this matter.
Xiao Jinyi saw what he was thinking, and seeing that he wanted to stop him, he reached out to stop him.
"Ah Xu, Wu Qiaoyun is a person, she has her own thoughts and joys and sorrows.
All her suffering came from the control of her parents. She finally broke free from that control, but had to suffer the consequences left by her father in his early years. Her life was already bitter enough.
Choosing suicide is the first independent decision she has made. Don't stop her. Let her experience the feeling of her own choice before she dies! ”
Shen Shixu took back his step, and Xiao Jinyi was heard by others. When Hui Wu heard that Wu Qiaoyun was going to commit suicide, he wanted to stop her.
But Wu Qiaoyun was too fast. She pulled out the silver hairpin on her head and stabbed it directly into her throat without saying anything.
Everyone only saw a red fountain gushing out of her throat, and then Wu Qiaoyun, holding the blood-stained silver hairpin in her hand, shook her body and then fell to the ground.
Mrs. Wu looked at this scene and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. Hui Wu even covered his chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wu Qiaoyun was the person he loved the most, and he thought they could grow old together, but it turned out that they were never qualified to grow old together.
Hui Wu felt as if a large part of his heart was empty. He walked towards Wu Qiaoyun's body like a zombie and picked her up. He avoided Mrs. Wu who was walking over, walked around Wu Liang who was standing there in a daze, and stopped in front of Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi.
"Sir, there should be nothing for us to do now. Can we just leave now?"
Shen Shixu nodded, pulled Xiao Jinyi to make way for the two people, and only when Hui Wu reached the door did Shen Shixu raise his voice and ask, "Where are you taking her?"
Hui Wu stopped walking and said without turning his head, "Find a place with a beautiful view to bury him, then guard the tomb there and never enter the world again."
After saying this, Huiwu left.
Many years later, a cowherd boy met Huiwu, whose hair and beard were all white, while he was herding cattle. Huiwu was weeding a grave.
The cowherd asked him who that was, and he replied, "The one I love the most!"
