Gu Xicheng looked at Lu Qing, his tone softening again: "Ask away!"
Lu Qing smiled slightly, then continued to ask:
"Nian Chun, how exactly did your parents and your brother die? And how did you end up with that so-called mountain god?"
After catching his breath for a while, Nian Chun said:
"They were all killed by that bitch Cheng Li!"
“Cheng Li looked down on me. She bought some inferior ginseng that had been soaked in medicine. My mother used it to make soup, and she died after drinking it.”
I was out of town at the time and couldn't get back in time. When I got home, my dad and brother had also fallen into a coma due to chicken soup poisoning.
I took them to the hospital. The mountain roads here are difficult to travel, and there are no crematoriums outside, so I took my mother to the mountain to be buried.
When I was burying my mother, I heard a voice that said it could help me bring my mother back to life. It said that I would agree as long as I did something for it.
Later, my brother and father also became seriously ill in the hospital, so I prayed to the mountain god to save them both.
Lu Qing: "Then why doesn't your father remember anything?"
Nian Chun: "My dad is old and forgetful. I've told him several times, but he forgets after a while. I don't expect him to do anything, so I just let it go."
Lu Qing: "Then what exactly does this so-called mountain god want you to do?"
Nian Chun pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then answered:
"He gave me some kind of cultivation technique and told me to practice it, but I failed to master it."
My brother does have this talent, and the Mountain God is quite satisfied with him. However, since he is already dead and cannot leave for too long, the Mountain God sent me to the mortal realm to be his messenger and help him collect things.
"Collect what?" Lu Qing asked.
Nian Chun: "I don't know what it is. Anyway, he gave me a small gourd and told me to take it with me and run around to different prisons every day."
Some black mist would drift out from the prisoners and disappear into the gourd.
When the gourds are full, bring them back and place them under the big locust tree. After a couple of days when they're empty, take them out again to continue collecting.
Lu Qing: "What about the gourd?"
Springtime: "In my arms."
Lu Qing looked at Wang Yanjun: "Brother."
Wang Yanjun immediately stepped forward and pulled a purple gourd out of his clothes.
"What is this thing? Did you steal it from the Calabash Brothers?"
Lu Qing examined it carefully, then frowned and said:
"It should be specifically used to collect malevolent energy. There are many prisoners in the prison, and the malevolent energy is heavy. The King of Violence ordered him to take this thing out to collect malevolent energy and then bring it back. His strength will gradually increase after absorbing the malevolent energy."
"With both evil cultivators and gourds, this Wrathful King is truly going to any lengths to break the seal!" Wang Yanjun said coldly.
Lu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly an idea came to him:
"Since this gourd can collect malevolent energy, does that mean it can also trap the malevolent race?"
"It should be possible!" Gu Xicheng nodded.
"The Li Clan is formed from malevolent energy. This gourd can collect malevolent energy, so it should be able to trap the Li Clan as well."
I'm not sure how sturdy it is, I'll try it out when I get back.
Lu Qing handed the gourd to Gu Xicheng: "Keep it!"
Seeing this in the spring, he dared not speak out despite his anger.
"I've said everything I needed to say. What are you going to do with me?"
Lu Qing smiled:
"Wait a minute! I have one last question to ask!"
"What's the problem?"
Lu Qing looked into Nian Chun's eyes and said coldly, word by word:
"Was the ginseng that poisoned your parents and brother really bought by Cheng Li?"
Upon hearing this question, Nian Chun's pupils suddenly contracted, his face revealing his fear and guilt.
Lu Qing sneered:
"As expected, I guessed right!"
Cheng Li is a person who cares about her reputation, and she once truly loved Nian Chun, so she would never give inferior ginseng to Nian Chun's parents.
Given her financial situation, there's no need for that.
It's unlikely she'd be scammed, because Cheng Li is very health-conscious and often takes ginseng. If she were to buy a gift, she would definitely choose a brand she's used before.
It doesn't make sense that it was fine for them to eat themselves, but the food they gave to Nian Chun's parents caused problems and even poisoned someone.
So what is the truth?
"You're the one who switched the ginseng, you're the one who killed your whole family, and you're trying to pin it on Cheng Li, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, Nianfu and Nianxia both turned to look at Nianchun.
"Chun'er, is what she said... true?"
Nian Chun suddenly looked up and angrily exclaimed, "No! That's not it!"
"I don't!"
Nian Chun's panicked expression clearly told Nian Xia and Nian Fu: It was him.
He's the one who really killed his family!
"Brother, why? Why did you kill us?" Nian Xia asked angrily.
"I didn't mean to hurt you!" Nian Chun's eyes reddened.
"I really didn't mean to kill you! I didn't know that box of ginseng was a gift from her to you. I thought..."
"You thought she ate it herself, right?" Lu Qing's expression was icy.
"Nian Chun, you originally wanted to kill Cheng Li, didn't you!"
"Kill her, and you can rightfully take all her property, right?"
“That’s what I deserve!” Nian Chun said through gritted teeth.
"Do you know how difficult Cheng Li is? Every day I'm with her is like living in hell."
"She wouldn't let me not shave, made me wash my hair every day, and applied all sorts of random skincare products."
They won't let me stand up to use the toilet, they won't let me smoke at home, they won't let me squeeze toothpaste from the middle, and they force me to eat food that's so bland it has no taste!
"Can you understand this suffocating feeling?"
Do you understand?
In the spring of the year, he looked at Gu Xicheng, Wang Yanjun, and Ding Jinghuan, trying to get a word of agreement from them.
However, he was destined to be disappointed.
"Nian Chun, as a man, you are a disgrace!"
Gu Xicheng looked at him as if he were trash.
"What suffocation! It's just because you don't love her!"
“You were only with her for her money from the beginning. You didn’t love her, so her love for you became a constraint and an excuse for you to kill her.”
"Love?" Nian Chun sneered.
"You're telling me she treats me like this because she loves me?"
Gu Xicheng, unusually patient, explained to him:
"I ask you to shave, take a shower, and apply skincare products so that you can maintain a clean and fresh appearance."
"Not letting you stand to use the toilet, not allowing you to smoke at home, and not letting you squeeze toothpaste from the middle are all for her own health and to reduce arguments."
We're telling you to eat light food because you've become so overweight that it's affecting your health!
"You don't cherish the wife who helped you become a better person, but instead want to kill her? Ha~"
Lu Qing looked at Gu Xicheng, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.
Her teacher's wife once told her something that she didn't truly understand at the time, but now she does.
The teacher's wife said: Dating is not about helping others; you must find someone who is already a good person, not someone you expect a scumbag to become excellent.
Fortunately, her Gu Xicheng was a good person to begin with!
