Chapter 1309 Accepting Reality
"I don't want to stay here, I want to go back."
Tao Shiyun said immediately. At this moment, she was more afraid of being abandoned by Mrs. Tao.
Tao Shixu thought for a moment and then said:
"Mom, I want to wait until my father's verdict comes out, and then bury my mother's body and let her rest in peace. Then I want to study abroad. You can accompany me and my sister, so that we can avoid some rumors."
Tao Shixu has always regarded himself as the eldest brother and was trained by Tao Jingfeng as the successor. Although he is immature in thinking, he has learned to consider the overall situation.
Mrs. Tao finally showed a relieved smile, but she still said based on the actual situation:
"Xu'er's idea is very good. No matter what, your biological mother should be buried in peace. When things here are settled, I will send you two to study abroad and learn some real skills so that you can come back and inherit the family business.
The Tao family in Gangcheng cannot be left without someone in charge. I want to protect the family property and hand it over to you and Yuner after you finish your studies. The Tao family can only belong to you two."
"mom!"
"mom!"
The two were very moved and felt that they still had a place in Mrs. Tao's heart.
When Mrs. Tao saw that her two children started calling her "Mom" again, she felt relieved. It seemed that it was right to adopt a conciliatory policy now. If she forcefully tried to excuse herself or even scolded her two children, it would only push them further away. After all, legally speaking, she and her two children had the right of inheritance after Tao Jingfeng got into trouble.
Moreover, she knew very well that the woman named Xi Ruo would definitely not let Tao Jingfeng go. Fortunately, there were masters to restrain her, so she would not be harmed. In this case, she naturally had to protect her own interests first.
All we can say is that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes. Mrs. Tao was just considering the current problem very realistically.
After Wen Yulian moved into Lianyi's house, Mrs. Tao came to see Lianyi alone and offered to compensate Xi Ruo.
She insisted that she did not participate in her husband's murder plan, and she said that after learning the truth, she was terrified. She could not imagine that her husband, who had slept with her for nearly 30 years, was such a cruel person.
She was afraid that if one day she did not live up to her husband's wishes, she would disappear silently like Xi Ruo, so she was now feeling both fortunate and afraid, and also a little self-blame.
Lianyi could see that Mrs. Tao was a smart person, and the other party did not appear in Xi Ruo's life. It could be said that she condoned her husband's cheating only for the sake of her children.
It was beyond her expectation that things would come to this point, so her desire to make compensation was actually a disguised way of buying peace of mind.
Lianyi generously took out three pebbles the size of pigeon eggs and said to Madam Tao:
"This is the Ping An Fu that I made. You can ask someone to make it into a pendant and carry it with you. Remember not to take it off. It will protect you from disasters and evil spirits."
"Thank you, Miss Qiu."
Mrs. Tao took the things carefully and immediately gave Lianyi a sum of money, saying it was hard work pay. Lianyi accepted it with peace of mind.
Three days later, Tao Jingfeng's verdict came down: death penalty and deprivation of political rights for life. This verdict was expected by everyone.
On the day the verdict was handed down, Mrs. Tao took her lawyer to meet Tao Jingfeng and transferred all the shares in his name to her. Then she took her two children to handle Xi Ruo's funeral. After the memorial service, she returned to Gangcheng with her two children without waiting for Tao Jingfeng to be executed.
Lianyi only responded to Xi Ruo's request and let her appear in her dream to say goodbye to the two children on the night the two children left. Then Xi Ruo returned to prison and continued to torture Tao Jingfeng.
After Tao Jingfeng was executed, Xi Ruo devoured his soul and was then sent into space by Lianyi to hibernate. She did not forget that there was someone from the Ghost Control Sect who was eyeing Xi Ruo covetously.
Liang Yong from the Ghost-Controlling Sect recuperated for a while after being injured by the whirlwind. Then he appeared near the villa again and began to inquire about the new owner of the villa. Then he learned the true story of Xi Ruo's murder.
Liang Yong frowned, he didn't expect that someone could break the ghost-raising formation set up by his master. This was the arrangement made by his master when he went down the mountain fifteen years ago. The master did not ask the reasons for the generation of these ghosts. He chose ghosts that could grow into evil ghosts or vengeful spirits.
He went down the mountain this time just to collect these trained ghosts and monsters to enhance his own strength, but unfortunately he started off badly. He felt that he had met a master, so after finding out the situation, he quickly left the area around the villa and prepared to go to the next ghost-raising place.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that everything he did was seen by Lianyi. She held Xuanfeng in her arms, stood on the top floor of the villa, and watched Liang Yong's hurriedly leaving back, and said to Xuanfeng:
"Tornado, have your good friends keep an eye on that man's movements. If he behaves abnormally, tell me immediately."
"Master, don't worry. He has been under my surveillance for a long time."
Tornado shook his ears proudly. He had already instructed the nearby tabby cat to spread the news about Liang Yong. As long as the other party made any unusual movements, he would be aware of it.
After moving into Lianyi's villa, Wen Yulian was really busy for a while. She always went out early and came back late, and no one knew what she was doing. However, as a good landlord in China, Lianyi did not ask.
Because of Mrs. Tao's remuneration and Wen Yulian's rental income, Lianyi could still spend some time after paying various fees and Sister Qi's commission, so she was not in a hurry to find a job.
However, her leisurely days did not last long, as Yu Liang came to her again.
"Captain Yu, you are such a rare guest. What brings you here?"
After the two sat down on the sofa in the living room, Lianyi took the initiative to ask.
"Ms. Qiu, I don't come to you for no reason. I really have something to ask for."
Yu Liang said with a light cough.
"Whatever it is, if I can help, I will spare no effort."
You still have to say polite words.
“It’s like this, I was investigating a car accident case recently, but after in-depth investigation, we found that it was not a simple car accident case.
Car accidents have occurred at the same time and place for eight consecutive years, but there is no connection between the car owners involved in the accidents, so the investigation has reached a dead end.
Moreover, the car owners who were involved in the accident all insisted that they saw a man covered in blood suddenly rushing towards them, and they subconsciously turned the steering wheel to avoid the other person, and then the accident happened.
But the witnesses said that the car owner suddenly turned the steering wheel and deliberately hit the vehicle going the other way, so."
"So you suspect this is another supernatural incident, and you want me to help you take a look."
Lianyi took over Yu Liang's words.
"Yes, please trouble Miss Qiu."
Yu Liang had no choice. The case could not remain stalemate, so he could only come for help.
"Captain Yu, am I considered to have assisted in solving the case this time? Will I get paid for my services? I have to support myself and also support Xuanfeng. I can't just sit there and do nothing."
"Meow!"
At this time, Xuanfeng squatted on the sofa and called out in a very cooperative manner, indicating that he also needed an appearance fee.
Hey guys, there's another chapter that should be uploaded around 10:30.
