Chapter 434 Trapped in Twenty Years Ago
"Even though I haven't met Luo Songtao, I know he must be a kind-hearted man. How can a sinful woman like you have the face to see him again!"
Huo Changan really felt sorry for the uncle he had never met!
I actually got involved with such a disgusting and vicious woman.
"Exactly! If I were Luo Songtao, I would rather find a beggar woman than get entangled with a witch like you. It's right that he didn't come back to find you!
I guess he has many wives and concubines, many children and grandchildren, and is living a good life in his old age!"
Chen Ye deliberately provoked Song Chan, and he felt happy when he saw her face twisted in pain!
"Don't talk nonsense." Huo Changan whispered to him, "That's Sang Ning's uncle, he's no longer alive."
Shen Ye was stunned.
What kind of bad fate is this?
"What do you know! He was the one who abandoned me first!" Song Chan shouted with bloodshot eyes.
"It was clearly him who broke his oath first! I wasn't born a Gu woman!
He never came back. It was my first time out of southern Xinjiang and I was scared to death!
You Han people are all liars. I was bullied time and time again. When I returned to southern Xinjiang, I was half dead!
I won't be a Gu girl. If I don't become a Gu girl, will I still be bullied? "
This time, neither Shen Ye nor Huo Changan spoke.
No one can laugh at a woman who has experienced hardship, but instead feel sympathy for her.
This has nothing to do with their necessity to kill Song Chan.
A witch spoke for her at this time: "This is true.
Twenty years ago, when Song Chan returned to southern Xinjiang, she was covered in wounds and was three months pregnant.
Later, she gave birth to a daughter and abandoned her at the entrance of the village.
Because, that is a wicked creature."
Song Chan laughed out loud, "Hahahaha", with sadness and hatred in her eyes.
"Of course it's a bastard!
Luo Songtao is a rich and noble young man. How could those Han people look down on such vulgar Miao girls like us!
Luo Songtao, he has never touched me!
Even when we are deeply in love, he will push us away.
He said he would wait until the wedding night.
Later on, I finally understood that he just disliked me.
You don't know how gentle and lovely those Han women are!"
How soft and lovely.
There are so many, so many beautiful women, he could marry any of them, why did he fall for this Miao girl who has nothing?
He lied to her, he had been lying to her.
Song Chan had thought about it countless times, but every time she thought about it, she still felt unbearable pain.
She was wavering between lying and not lying, almost tearing herself apart.
"If that's the case, why did you insist on finding him? Do you want to kill him?"
Huo Changan's eyes were complicated.
It turned out that nothing happened between the two.
However, this ill-fated relationship ruined Song Chan's life.
She is so paranoid, so terribly paranoid.
If Luo Songtao really married her, she might be burdened by him in the future.
"Kill him? That's what I thought at first.
Later, when I couldn’t find it, I stopped thinking about it.”
She also wanted to let go and let herself go, but there was always an obsession in her heart.
Find him, meet him again, and ask him clearly.
When she was in the capital, she also used Yan Mingyu's connections and searched for a long time.
But there was no trace of Luo Songtao.
She even thought that his name was fake!
But what can I do?
Now, she didn't know what else to do except looking for Luo Songtao.
Song Chan finally thought of what Huo Changan had said before.
"You said you haven't seen him? Then how do you know about him? Are you lying to me?
I have so many lives in my hands that I can't even count them. Let me see him once, and I will let everyone go."
"You can't see him anymore. He died twenty years ago." Huo Changan said.
According to Songchan, Huo Changan suspected that Luo Songtao had gone to the capital and never returned to Jingzhou.
Because at that time, Luo Liyun had just died.
Could it be that my uncle was killed by Sang Xiuqi in order to avenge my mother-in-law?!
"What did you say?" Song Chan looked blank.
“You didn’t find Luo Songtao’s name in the county government office because that person is no longer here.
After he left southern Xinjiang, he was murdered and never returned home.
He never abandoned you, understand?"
Luo Songtao had been dead for twenty years.
He never abandoned her.
Songchan went completely crazy.
She scratched her face with her nails, saying that she didn't want Luo Songtao to recognize her again.
She begged Huo Changan to avenge Luo Songtao, and cut open her stomach to take out the Gu King.
Not much blood flowed out of the stomach when it was cut open, but the Gu King's whole body had turned red.
Auntie Jiu said that he controls at least thirty people, so the Gu King needs to absorb a large amount of his master's blood.
Even if Song Chan was not killed, she would soon be killed by the backlash.
She is so crazy.
Maybe he no longer wanted to live.
Only then did Chen Ye realize that for a paranoid and vicious woman like Song Chan, lingchi or burning would not scare her.
What she feared most was actually a love affair from her youth.
She was trapped in twenty years ago and never took a step forward.
What kind of life would she have lived if she had not met Luo Songtao?
In their view, this is a bad relationship.
But looking at her expression, she doesn't seem to regret it.
Song Chan seemed to be recalling their past. She laughed, then curled up, covered her face, and sobbed.
Finally, her body aged rapidly, like a shriveled and dehydrated dead fish.
…
"My lord, General Beigong is calling you over." The soldier reported.
Huo Changan and Shen Ye went there together.
Beigong Yao has incorporated the 80,000 troops left by Hongkang, but discovered a strange problem.
"My Lord, didn't you say that Hongkang had plundered countless treasuries and used them to recruit soldiers?
But these people were the border garrison that he had come to seek refuge with.
The imperial court did not provide them with rations. They had thought that their lives would be better if they took refuge with Hongkang, but after three months, Hongkang only promised them rosy prospects and only provided them with rations once. They still had to hunt for wild vegetables in the mountains and plains on their own.
Logically speaking, with all the money he amassed, it shouldn't be a problem for him to support an army of 200,000."
"That should be fine." Huo Changan was confused for a moment. "Could he have hidden all his money? I've searched the palace thoroughly, so where did he hide it?"
"Does he have troops elsewhere?" Beigong Yao guessed.
"What's the point of having an army somewhere else if everyone is dead? There's no point in hiding!"
Everyone frowned in thought.
Slowly, Huo Changan's expression changed.
"The Third Prince, the Crown Prince, the Grand Princess, Prince Huaishan, Hongkang...
Five years ago, besides Hongkang being driven out of Beijing, what else happened?"
Yan Meng, Beigong Yao, and Huo Jiangchu are not from the capital, so how could they know about the affairs of the center of imperial power?
Shen Ye thought about it and remembered something.
"I remember that Hongkang was driven out not only because he caused a disturbance in the Imperial Palace, but also because he was impeached for corruption and abuse of power.
It seemed that something really happened at that time. My father came home from the palace in the middle of the night one day, and he was wiping his armor, as if he was going to the battlefield.
But nothing happened afterwards.”
"Is it the eighteenth day of the first lunar month?"
Because the incident with Hongkang's concubine happened when he was burning incense on the fifteenth day, Hongkang bit his father like a mad dog for the next two days.
The whole family was very worried.
On the 18th, Huo Changan remembered that his father and eldest brother also came home very late.
After returning home, I went into the study.
