[Chapter 274 Death]
There must be an explanation for the fact that the medicine Huo Nian drank was tampered with.
A few days later, Huo Qingyun made a rare visit to Gubei No. 1.
Not surprisingly, Wu Qianyun was also brought along.
At that time, Huo Nian was playing with Tang Yuan at Lin Yin's house. When he saw his father bringing a strange woman in, he looked at them with some curiosity.
Soon, she recognized who this woman was. The smile on her delicate little face suddenly stopped and her lips were tightly pursed.
There are many servants in the old house. Many of the older servants have served several generations and know some of the family secrets. Those who are talkative cannot help but tell Huo Nian about the love, hatred and grudges of the previous generation.
The servants in the old house liked Xu Yilian more when she was the wife. She was generous and polite and seldom made things difficult for the servants. After she went abroad, Wu Qianyun came into the house. Perhaps she finally had to spend the life of ordering people around, so she was particularly mean and it was common for her to deduct and scold the servants. In contrast, the servants missed the well-educated and well-mannered Xu Yilian even more.
So when he talked about Wu Qianyun with Huo Nian, naturally, most of the things he said were bad, but what he said was indeed true.
Huo Nian picked up the glutinous rice balls on the ground, pouted unhappily, turned his back to everyone, and protested silently.
Huo Qingyun glanced at Huo Jingze and signaled with his eyes to his son to help say a few good words.
Huo Jingze looked down at Lin Yin beside him and ignored him.
Huo Qingyun had no choice but to shift his gaze to Wu Qianyun, signaling the woman to make amends and apologize.
Wu Qianyun snorted coldly and stood still. "The reason I came here today is not to apologize to Huo Nian. It's not something I did, so why should I admit it? What do you mean Xiaoyu accused me of? Then call her over. I want to confront her face to face!"
People always favor those they care about. It is obvious that the person Huo Qingyun cares more about is Wu Qianyun. Seeing that she has never admitted to harming Huo Nian, he began to waver.
He looked at Huo Jingze, "Maybe there is some misunderstanding. It might not be your Aunt Yun's doing. What if someone puts the blame on her..."
Huo Jingze sneered, his cold voice carrying a hint of sarcasm, "You believed everything she said. Why didn't you believe Lin Yin at the time? Why did you think that it was Lin Yin who harmed Nian Nian?"
"I..." Huo Qingyun was speechless.
Then Huo Jingze said, "Father, don't forget that you haven't apologized to Lin Yin yet."
When the old story was brought up again, Huo Qingyun's face turned pale and blue. He was silent for a long time, but finally he put down his old face and said unnaturally: "Lin Yin, I misunderstood you. I'm sorry."
Lin Yin was a little surprised. She didn't expect Huo Qingyun to really apologize to her.
Then he said calmly: "I hope you can look at people with equal eyes in the future, and not be prejudiced anymore."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Qianyun continued to speak, very unhappy: "I'll say it again, Huo Nian's vomiting blood has nothing to do with me. I will never admit it if it's not my doing. Call that servant over now. I want to confront her face to face. If it's someone else, I hope all of you can give me an explanation. Although I, Wu Qianyun, have no power or influence, I'm not someone who can be bullied!"
Thinking back now, Xiaoyu's confession at the time actually had many suspicious details. Lin Yin actually believed that there was someone else behind the scenes.
She looked up at Huo Jingze and whispered, "Why don't we call Xiaoyu over from the old house and confront her face to face."
Huo Jingze nodded in agreement and called He Kai, asking him to go to the old house to pick someone up in person.
Xiaoyu never left the old house until the truth came to light.
But what He Kai didn't expect was that the news he brought back was unfortunate.
An hour passed and He Kairen still hadn't arrived, so the phone rang.
Huo Jingze just answered the phone. There was silence for half a second before He Kai's heavy voice was heard. "Mr. Huo, Xiaoyu suddenly had a myocardial infarction. The situation is very critical. I can only send her to the hospital... But the rescue failed. She has passed away."
"What?" Huo Jingze was stunned.
Seeing that his expression was not right, Lin Yin asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
Huo Jingze hung up the phone and looked straight at Wu Qianyun, "He Kai just said that Xiaoyu had a myocardial infarction on the way here. The rescue failed and she is dead."
Lin Yin's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he blurted out: "This is too much of a coincidence!"
"It's such a coincidence." Huo Jingze's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. He stared at Wu Qianyun closely, his voice as cold as ice, "Wu Qianyun, you'd better pray that this matter has nothing to do with you."
Wu Qianyun met Huo Jingze's cold gaze, straightened her back, and even had a hint of disdainful sneer on her face, "Huo Jingze, don't look at me like that. I said this matter has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with me. You can't find anything even if you check."
Lin Yin had been observing Wu Qianyun's reaction. Her expression was very frank, without the slightest guilt, as if she had really been wronged.
If she really didn't do it, then there must be someone behind Xiaoyu. Now that Xiaoyu is dead, it's hard not to wonder if that person murdered her to silence her...
Now, there is absolutely no evidence.
Jiang Yirou's face appeared in Lin Yin's mind, and his mood became heavier.
If it was really her, her methods were too cruel... Including Jiang Shu, at least two lives were lost.
A chill crept up from the soles of his feet up his spine, and all the hairs on Lin Yin's body stood up, and his scalp felt tingling.
Xiaoyu is dead, the only witness is gone, and it is impossible to figure out who harmed Huo Nian.
Huo Qingyun acted as a peacemaker. "Since the person is already dead, and there is no direct evidence to prove that it was your Aunt Yun who ordered this, she may have been wrongly accused. I think we should leave it at that. The most important thing now is to cure Nian Nian's illness."
Huo Jingze's face didn't look good. He moved his thin lips and was about to speak. Lin Yin, who was standing beside him, gently pulled his hand and whispered, "Let's just leave it at that for now. We probably won't find anything if we continue investigating. It's better to let it go for now. Maybe when the people behind the scenes relax, they will reveal their true colors."
After hearing her words, Huo Jingze's expression eased a little, but he still looked at Huo Qingyun with a cold face, "You can go now, take your woman with you, and don't set foot in Gubei No. 1 without my permission in the future."
Huo Qingyun had already gotten used to his son's attitude and was too lazy to argue about it. He took Wu Qianyun and quickly left Gubei No. 1 without saying anything.
