Chapter 165 The Killing of Women
The two brothers wrapped Chen Yilan and Mo Shuyuan in bed sheets, and with the help of Yu Tiannan and others, lifted them onto a flatbed carriage they had bought from the shopkeeper.
The group set off in a hurry in the morning light.
After leaving the town, the other cars drove slowly on the official road, while Mo Mingyuan led Yu Tiannan and several prisoners to the outskirts of the town.
Following the innkeeper's instructions, they found the town's public burial ground and buried the two men in two thin coffins.
Mo Nanzhou led the team along the official road until they reached the foot of the mountain, then stopped to wait for Mo Mingyuan and the others.
No one saw Feng Aoqing.
"I haven't seen Ao Qing for a long time, and I don't know where she went." Qin Lancui murmured in a low voice, feeling a little uneasy.
"Grandma, don't worry. The two An brothers and the people Han Lang left for her are gone. They must have followed her." Mo Nanzhou had already seen it clearly.
"Well, don't be afraid, she has an idea."
"My mother went to do something important and asked us to listen to our great-grandmother and Aunt Xiu." Xingbao was still sleepy, but when he heard them asking about his mother, he answered.
"Did your mother tell you?" Mo Nanzhou asked.
"Yeah!" Yuebao and Xingbao nodded together.
"This child would rather talk to the children than to us." Qin Lancui said in surprise.
"The children only say 'OK', but we have to ask a lot of questions." Mo Nanzhou smiled and touched the two children's heads.
"That's true." Qin Lancui nodded.
It was still very cold outside, so Mo Nanzhou wanted to help, saying, "Grandma, go to the car and rest. We'll leave when Mingyuan comes back."
Unexpectedly, Qin Lancui did not hold his hand, but lifted her skirt and prepared to get into the car. Lu Xiaolian happened to be by the car, so she reached out to hold her hand, and she handed her hand over.
When she stretched out her hand, Mo Nanzhou saw that she had a handkerchief tied on her hand. Her hand had been hidden in her sleeve and had not been seen.
Xingbao and Yuebao didn't want to sit in the motionless car, so they ran on the ground. Tian Ying'er and An Jingge watched them vigilantly, ready to rescue them at any time if they fell.
"Do you know where she went?" An Jinge asked Tian Ying'er.
"I don't know!" Tian Ying'er shook her head.
"He left without telling me, and I don't know if it's safe." An Jinge was a little worried.
"Don't worry, none of Lord Han's men are left. They must have followed him. Besides, do you still need to give an explanation? You have to protect these two with your lives." Tian Ying'er nagged at the two crazy children.
"Since you dare to leave, it means the child is not in danger."
"that is."
"Slow down, I'll sweat soon and your Aunt Xiuxiu will scold me." Tian Ying'er shouted.
The two did not see Yan Xiuxiu. At this moment, she and Lu Xiaolian were in the car accompanying the old lady.
"Madam, this medicine was left by my wife when she was beaten before. It must be better than other medicines. I will give you some more so that you can get better faster." Lu Xiaolian said.
"Well, it doesn't hurt anymore, but it's better to do it quickly so they won't find out." Qin Lancui stretched out her hand.
When Lu Xiaolian opened the handkerchief, she saw several bloodstains on Qin Lancui's palm, as if they were caused by being strangled or rubbed by a rope.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you two."
"What are you talking about, old lady! If we were capable, we would have discussed and taken action long ago." Lu Xiaolian said hatefully.
Last night, Chen Yilan successfully bought the medicine and cooked it in the kitchen. While she was out getting some water, Qin Lancui came in and added a few more herbs to the medicine.
The child was not big to begin with and did not need such strong medicine, so the medicine directly took Mo Shuyuan's life.
She had been helping in the room for two people, listening calmly to Mo Shuyuan's screams, watching her expel the fetus, and the bleeding never stopped.
Chen Yilan's heart was cold, she knew her daughter could not be saved.
Qin Lancui's heart also turned cold. She said coldly, "This is her fate. No matter who persuaded her, it wouldn't have come to this. If you knew how to teach her, it wouldn't have come to this. Fortunately, Beiyuan grew up in the camp with his grandfather and father. Otherwise, he would have been corrupted by you."
"Mom, what's the point of saying this now?" Chen Yilan went to hold Mo Shuyuan's hand.
At this moment, she could no longer speak, but just looked at the world with great attachment. Now she was lying on the high bed with soft pillows as she had always wanted, but she could not feel anything except pain.
Qin Lancui also walked to the bed and stood behind Chen Yilan.
"Yuan'er, if I had known earlier, I would have let you give birth to this child, and you wouldn't have lost your life!" Chen Yilan shed a few tears.
Mo Shuyuan looked at her mother: "Find her...save me..."
"She won't save you... Just give up on this idea... Go safely, and I'll have someone perform a ritual to ensure you'll be reborn in a good life in your next life, so you won't suffer any more."
"Yuan'er, walk slower and wait for your mother." Qin Lancui said.
Chen Yilan was startled and turned back quickly.
Qin Lancui had already put her belt around Chen Yilan's neck.
She was from a military family and had accompanied her father and husband on many expeditions. Even at this age, her legs and feet were strong and her body was straight.
Otherwise, do you think any old lady from an official family could endure the suffering of exile?
Chen Yilan struggled desperately but couldn't break free.
Qin Lancui stepped on her back and increased the strength in her hands.
At this time, someone pushed the door open and came in. It was Yan Xiuxiu and Lu Xiaolian.
The two of them covered their mouths with their hands to scream.
Mo Shuyuan was still alive at this time. She watched her mother being killed and wanted to crawl over, but she couldn't get out of bed. She could only reach out her hand to her mother and fell beside the bed.
Seeing that the person was no longer moving, Qin Lancui calmly gave an order: "If you don't report it, help me hang her up."
She looked up at the corner of the carved wooden bed.
The two were so frightened that they dared not move.
"If they don't die, they will only bring disaster to Beiyuan, Aoqing and the children! They are like nightmares and will cling to them tightly!" Qin Lancui roared in a low voice.
Qin Lancui knew that Feng Aoqing was hesitant to take action because they were Mo Beiyuan's blood relatives and the child's blood relatives. She was afraid that the children would ask about the whereabouts of their grandmother and aunt in the future, and she would not know how to answer.
Qin Lancui also knew that as long as they were alive, Mo Beiyuan and Feng Aoqing would never be together, and the children would never be safe.
Then let her be the bad guy.
Hearing about the child, Yan Xiuxiu let go of Lu Xiaolian's hand, tremblingly pulled out the belt from under Chen Yilan's neck, put up a stool, and tied the belt to the corner of the bed.
She replaced Jingtao, and now these two children are her life.
When Yan Xiuxiu went to drag the body, Lu Xiaolian came to her senses and hurried to help. The three of them worked together to hang Chen Yilan's body on their belts.
The two men asked Qin Lancui to go back to the house first. One cleaned the house while the other cleaned up the medicine residue. They did it as if it were perfectly done.
Mo Mingyuan saw it.
Mo Nanzhou also saw it.
Mo Mingyuan immediately thought of Qin Lancui, and now, Mo Nanzhou also knew it.
