Chapter 120 He Wen's Illness
Both of them were very happy to hear Liu Xu's affirmative answer.
Lu Yi couldn't wait to find out about the strange cloth doll.
He was really worried about anything related to Ranran. "Do you know about that rag doll?"
"A cloth doll?" Liu Xu looked at Lu Yi in surprise, seemingly not expecting him to even know that.
"I know, but that's not Chunxiang's stuff, it's something Hewen took out."
Seeing that Liu Xu really knew something, Lu Yi felt relieved. "Then please tell me everything you know!"
"It was more than ten years ago! I was only five years old then..."
One day He Wen came and brought a rag doll..." Liu Xu recalled in detail.
"You still remember things from so many years ago? There can't be any discrepancies or omissions, can there?" Yun Hao asked with some doubt.
Liu Xu wasn't angry when she heard this. She just glanced at him calmly and said, "You can choose to believe it or not. I'm just stating what I saw."
Lu Yi glared at Yun Hao and waved his hand, signaling her to continue.
"When Chunxiang asked him what the rag doll was for, Hewen, unusually, told her to shut up."
Only say that this thing is meant to save his life, and there absolutely cannot be any mistakes.
Tell her to write another letter to Xu Qiang immediately and send it along with the doll. Make sure Xu Qiang keeps it by Xu Qingyan's bedside.
"Do you know who Xu Qingyan is?" Lu Yi glanced at Liu Xu.
Liu Xu's face remained expressionless. "I know, he is Chunxiang and Hewen's son."
"He Wen's son?" Lu Yi and Yun Hao both exclaimed in surprise.
Yun Hao gave Lu Yi a disdainful look. "What's going on? You don't even know? I thought you knew, judging by your confident look!"
Lu Yi retorted, "I only knew that he was Chunxiang's son, and then he was sent to Xu Qiang's place to be raised. Seeing how Xu Qiang treated him, I naturally assumed that he was Xu Qiang's biological son."
Liu Xu ignored the two's sudden bickering. "It's only natural for Xu Qiang to think that way, because Chunxiang and He Wen set him up in a honey trap back then."
Afterwards, Chunxiang claimed that she was pregnant, that the child she gave birth to was Xu Qiang's, and that she sent the child back to him.
The truth is, that child is He Yun and Chunxiang's biological son, but no one knows it.
"Then how did you know?" Lu Yi asked, staring into her eyes.
"That's what Chunxiang said when she was drunk. When she's drunk, she can't keep anything to herself and she'll say anything."
Therefore, He Wen forbade her from going out drinking, only allowing her to drink at home, and warned me not to reveal what she said while drunk.
"Why is he so confident that you won't tell anyone?" Lu Yi stared straight into her eyes, not missing a single detail.
Liu Xu's face remained expressionless, though a hint of pain flashed across his eyes. "Because Chunxiang needs someone to take care of her, he doesn't really trust anyone else."
And I... was raised by them since I was a child.
They've already taught me a lot in every way...
So...they trust me relatively much..."
After hearing Liu Xu's words, Lu Yi and Yun Hao could easily guess that it wouldn't be an easy time, so they didn't ask any further questions.
"Then why would he send his own son so far away? He Wen has no other sons, only this one. How could he bear to leave him in the countryside?" Yun Hao really couldn't understand He Yun's actions.
"It's because of that doll that He Wen's health has deteriorated for some unknown reason."
Chunxiang told me that he almost died before I was born.
At that time, He Wen's mother went to Liuye Village to do something, and after returning, she risked her life to pull him back from the brink of death.
"What did he do in Willow Leaf Village?" Yun Hao and Lu Yi actually knew what Bai Yun had done in Willow Leaf Village.
It was nothing more than monitoring the Bai family and then framing them.
I really can't think of anything that could have saved He Wen's life...
"I don't know the specifics, but Chunxiang said that Hewen's body was the result of retribution."
He Wen's mother was a shameless woman who learned some evil magic and went around seducing men.
The previous head of the Yun family was bewitched by her using evil magic, and then all of this came back to haunt He Wen.
Therefore, He Wen's health was very poor from birth.
His mother used evil magic again, borrowing something from He Wen's blood relatives to save him.
Twenty years ago, He Wen almost died again, but he survived in the end.
I suspect that perhaps He Wen's relatives still lived in the place his mother went to, so she obtained something after going there.
But that wasn't enough, so in the end, he even risked his own life to save He Wen.
"Is what she said true? Are the Bai family in Willow Leaf Village really He Wen's relatives?" Yun Hao looked at Lu Yi suspiciously.
Lu Yi nodded. "That's right. The head of the Bai family, Old Master Bai Yi, should be He Wen's biological brother."
However, He Wen is merely an illegitimate son of the Bai family…
"But I still don't understand why he sent his own son to that place this time." Yun Hao still couldn't figure it out.
But he had a premonition that once he figured this out, he would be able to see through many of He Wen's actions...
Liu Xu continued, "Because after that, He Wen had very few relatives left."
He was unwilling to face death at any moment, so he came up with a plan.
He secretly went to find the master who taught his mother those things, and that person gave him a doll.
He was told to place the doll near his relatives so that it could absorb their good fortune and benefit him in return.
But He Wen was unwilling to give up everything he had worked so hard for over the years and go to such a remote rural area by himself.
So he sent his son there directly, letting him act as a link, relying on the cloth doll to absorb the luck of his relatives.
Then, through his son, it fed back to him…
"His mother's master? Do you know who it is?" Lu Yi asked urgently.
He always felt a deep sense of apprehension towards this person...
Under Lu Yi's tense gaze, Liu Xu nodded, "I know... that person is..."
