Chapter 239: Mist (5th update)
Yuan Ziyu was in a very depressed mood until he returned to the courtyard.
Huo Xifei knew that Yuan Ziyu was upset, so he stayed by her side.
Yuan Ziyou said softly, "Brother Xi, how much suffering did my maternal grandfather and his family endure back then? If my mother knew, how sad would she be?"
"Maybe things are not as bad as we thought!" Huo Xifei didn't know how to comfort Yuan Ziyu, so he could only say positive things, but he himself felt that such comfort was a little pale.
"Alas!" Yuan Ziyou sighed, "But, let's not worry about what happened later. My uncle went through so much suffering that year. Didn't mother also say that my uncle loved her very much since she was a child? Later, after he went to the Liu family, even though my uncle couldn't visit her because of the restrictions of my grandfather, he still asked people to send a lot of things to her. Mother and uncle had such a good relationship. If mother knew what my uncle had gone through, I can't imagine how she would cry!"
"Then don't tell Aunt Liu for now!" Huo Xifei said, "Let's keep it a secret for as long as possible!"
Yuan Ziyou looked at Huo Xifei and sighed, "That's the only way!"
"But... where are my grandparents now?" Yuan Ziyu muttered to himself, suddenly recalling the nightmare he had before. In that nightmare, someone dug up the graves of his parents and brother and took their bodies away. If what he dreamed of really happened in his past life, then where did those people take his parents and brother's bodies? What were they doing?
Could it be...
"Brother Xi, I suddenly feel that maybe my grandparents are still alive!" Yuan Ziyu suddenly said to Huo Xifei.
Upon hearing this, Huo Xifei asked, "You'er, have you thought of anything?"
"Just based on my intuition, I feel that my maternal grandfather and his family should still be alive!" Yuan Ziyu said: "Just like you said, my maternal grandfather's family wealth is not worth people coveting so much, so my maternal grandfather must have something else that people covet. If my maternal grandfather had not said anything, then those people would not have killed them, don't you think?"
Huo Xifei was silent for a moment, then asked, "You'er, have you ever thought that maybe those people have already got what they want?"
Huo Xifei didn't mean to pour cold water on Yuan Ziyu, he just didn't want Yuan Ziyu to have too much hope. After all, sometimes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
"No, I always feel that my grandparents are still alive. At least there are still people alive!" Yuan Ziyu said in a low voice with a frown slightly.
If those people had gotten the thing, they would not have dug up the graves of their parents and brothers in their previous life. They took away the remains of their parents and brothers, definitely to threaten my grandparents.
"You'er, do you know something?" Huo Xifei asked, looking into Yuan Ziyu's eyes.
Yuan Ziyou paused for a moment, then told Huo Xifei what he had seen in his nightmare. Finally, he said, "I don't know why those people took away my parents' bodies after they passed away. And why, when my parents were still alive, no one bothered them because of these things!"
Huo Xifei was silent for a moment after hearing Yuan Ziyou's words, then said, "You'er, have you ever thought that perhaps the things in your dream, the catastrophic disaster that your Yuan Mansion encountered, were not all caused by Tuoba Hun!"
Yuan Ziyou was stunned for a moment and looked at Huo Xifei: "Brother Xi, what do you mean..."
An idea also took shape in Yuan Ziyu's mind.
"You'er, maybe in your dream, those who framed your Yuan family are the ones who harmed the Su family!" Huo Xifei said to Yuan Ziyu word by word.
"If that's the case, why didn't they go directly to my parents? Instead, they used that method..."
"No matter what, Uncle Yuan is a first-rank official in the court. If it weren't for the disaster that happened later, it might not be easy for them to deal with a first-rank official!" Huo Xifei thought for a while and analyzed.
"Then... maybe the person who harmed my maternal grandfather's family is very likely from... the capital?" Yuan Ziyu frowned when he thought of this possibility. What on earth could be worth people from the capital traveling thousands of miles to the Su family in Hangzhou to plunder?
Yuan Ziyu felt like there was a fog in his mind, and he couldn't figure it out.
"Maybe, maybe not, we still have to find talented people first!" Huo Xifei said in a low voice.
"But where should I look for it?" Yuan Ziyu murmured.
Huo Xifei thought for a moment, then called out, "Huo Er!"
"Prince, Miss Yuan Er!" Huo Er came in upon hearing the voice and saluted Yuan Ziyu and Huo Xi.
"Have you followed Su Chengwei these days?" Huo Xifei asked.
"Yes!" Huo Er said, "In the beginning, I did follow them, but later they discovered my whereabouts, so it became difficult to follow them again!"
"Have you found anything?"
"No!" Huo Er said, "Su Chengwei's daily routine is very regular. Every day he's either at the shop or at home. He rarely goes out for social events, and even when he does, he never drinks!"
At this point, Huo Er seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "By the way, Prince, there is one more thing I am not sure about."
"What's the matter?" Yuan Ziyu asked curiously.
"I think Su Chengwei hasn't been in Hangzhou for a while!" Huo Er said, "But at that time, it was difficult for me to follow him closely. I could only watch from afar, and there was something wrong with Su Chengwei's back!"
"About what time?"
"More than a month ago." Huo Er thought for a moment and said affirmatively.
"More than a month ago?" Yuan Ziyou thought for a moment and asked Huo Xifei, "Brother Xi, was that when Tuoba Hun was about to enter the capital?"
“That’s right!”
Huo Xifei narrowed his eyes. If Su Chengwei went to the capital, then who did he go to meet?
"Are there any other suspicious points?" Huo Xifei asked Huo Erdao again.
"No more!" Huo Er said, "Su Chengwei only goes to a few places regularly and never goes anywhere else. He is also extremely self-disciplined."
"Okay, you go out first!" Huo Xifei nodded and said to Huo Er.
"yes!"
After Huo Er left, Yuan Ziyou frowned and said, "Brother Xi, if Su Chengwei really imprisoned my grandfather and his family, where would he place them?"
"If that's really the case, it's impossible for Su Chengwei to not visit your grandparents once. After all, Huo Er has been here for several months!" Huo Xifei thought quickly in his mind, thinking of various possibilities: "Unless..."
Yuan Ziyou and Huo Xifei glanced at each other and said in unison, "The Su family!"
"It seems that we need to find time to go to the Su family!"
