Chapter 296 Guo Hui’s Conspiracy
Guo Hui's guilty look had already betrayed him, but Chu Runrun didn't ask any more questions.
Someone is courting death, and she can't do anything about it even if she wants to.
"Young friend, please come this way!"
Li Daoyi made a gesture of invitation, Chu Runrun nodded slightly, and followed Li Daoyi to the side.
"Excuse me, is your father's surname Chu and name Shisan?" Li Daoyi asked.
Chu Runrun and Chu Qi looked at each other, and a hint of vigilance flashed in their eyes.
Li Daoyi quickly explained, "I have no ill intentions. It's just that Mr. Thirteen and his wife have been very kind to me. I saw that you two look similar to them, so I asked a question."
Chu Ruanruan could tell that Li Daoyi was not lying, so she nodded and said:
"Mr. Li, our father is indeed Chu Shisan."
After receiving the affirmation, Li Daoyi immediately took a step back and bowed solemnly.
Chu Ruanruan and Chu Qi hurried to help him up: "Mr. Li, what are you doing?"
"The Liuyao Sect has declined, and now there are only a few members left. I was ambushed back then, but fortunately Mr. Thirteen saved me and found me such a secluded place to hide for many years. I never had the chance to thank him. Since you are the daughter of my benefactor, you deserve to be honored by me." Li Daoyi said.
"Mr. Li, you are too polite. We are the younger generation, how can we accept your gift!" said Chu Qi.
"I wonder what your relationship is with the Guo family?" Li Daoyi asked.
"The deceased was our great aunt. Our two families haven't seen each other for a long time. This time we came here just to pay tribute to the old lady." Chu Runrun said.
Li Daoyi turned around and glanced at Guo Hui, then said in a low and serious voice:
"If you two are willing, please listen to my advice and go back as soon as possible. Guo Hui is not a good person."
"I know. We'll leave after the funeral." Chu Runrun said with a smile.
"Mr. Li, do you know something when you said that?" Chu Qi asked doubtfully.
"This village is small and remote, and it's easy for monsters to appear in the wild mountains. Before the old lady died, I heard the heartbreaking screams from the Guo family several times, so I asked for divination. The divination showed that the Guo family would suffer a great disaster this year, and there would be no solution.
"But I just did another divination, and the result shows that the solution to the problem lies with you two young friends. I think the old lady's worries must be related to your family. It's best for you to leave as soon as possible." Li Daoyi said.
"Thank you Mr. Li for your guidance!" said Chu Runrun and Chu Qi.
"Thank you for your courtesy, my two young friends. I have something to attend to at home. If you have anything to ask, you can find me at the east end of the village!"
"Mr. Li, take care!"
Li Daoyi was about to leave when Guo Hui hurried over:
"Mr. Li, the funeral is the day after tomorrow. Could you be a pallbearer?"
"We'll talk about the day after tomorrow. Let your old lady calm down first before you talk to me about the funeral."
Li Daoyi rolled his eyes at Guo Hui, then strode away.
Guo Hui sighed and turned his gaze towards Chu Ruanruan and Chu Qi:
"Cousin, Mr. Li said you can help me solve it..."
Before Guo Hui finished speaking, Chu Ruanruan said, "I can help you solve it, but you have to tell me the truth. Why is my aunt still haunting me?"
"This... I... I don't know!" Guo Hui still refused to give in.
"If you don't tell us, there's nothing we can do!"
With that, Chu Runrun and the others went straight into the house.
Guo Hui looked at their backs and wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it in the end.
After returning to the house, Chu Ruanruan put her hands in front of the stove to warm them.
"Ruanruan, what happened just now?" Ning Youwei asked with some concern.
"It's okay, Dad. I've never done anything wrong in my life, so I wouldn't be scared if someone knocked on my door in the middle of the night. What we should be most worried about now is the person who has done something wrong." Chu Runrun said.
The night was getting deeper and the cold wind was howling outside.
There should have been quite a few people keeping vigil in the mourning hall at this moment, but after what happened just now, most people didn't dare to stay.
Only Guo Yun and her two children were left in the mourning hall, and Guo Hui was sitting on the side smoking.
Suddenly, a young man came over: "Dad, Mom is awake!"
Guo Hui then raised his head, put out his cigarette and walked into the inner room.
"You stay in the mourning hall and don't let any cats or dogs get close!" Guo Hui instructed his son.
Guo Jian lowered his head in fear: "Dad, I...I don't dare."
Guo Hui glared at him angrily, "What are you afraid of? That's your grandmother. She can eat you up."
"She...she will eat people, Dad, I don't want to be in the mourning hall." Guo Jian was so scared that tears were about to fall out.
Guo Hui slapped Guo Jian hard on the head and said, "Go back to your room, you useless thing!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Jian ran into his room like a rabbit.
Guo Hui glared at him unhappily and then went into the house.
Sun Lan had woken up at this moment, but she was still in a daze, and her face was as pale as if it was covered with seven or eight layers of white ash.
"Sun Lan, how are you?" Guo Hui asked.
Sun Lan looked up at Guo Hui, tears welling up in her eyes:
"Dad, is Mom going to kill us?"
"Don't talk nonsense, she's my mother. She can kill anyone else but she can't kill us!" Guo Hui said angrily.
"But it was my mother who grabbed my head and banged it against the wall just now. I saw her!" Sun Lan said in horror.
A trace of fear flashed across Guo Hui's eyes, but he immediately calmed down:
"Don't... don't be afraid. Tomorrow morning I'll go and ask Mr. Li to hire pallbearers to take Mom away. As soon as Mom lands, we'll take action!"
A hint of anger flashed in Guo Hui's eyes.
Sun Lan was horrified: "Dad, you still want to..."
Sun Lan was about to say something when she seemed to realize that the place was wrong. She quickly looked around and after confirming that no one was around, she took Guo Hui's hand and whispered:
"Listen to me, stop doing it, and don't think about things that don't belong to us."
Guo Hui pushed Sun Lan away and said viciously, "I'm not willing to let you stay here for the rest of your life. Even if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider your son!"
Sun Lan's tears fell: "Dad, is this the only way we can go?"
"This is the fastest way. Once we have money, we can live like the Ning family. You can stay at home as a young lady every day. I will find 17 or 18 servants to serve you. You will also have countless clothes and jewelry. You won't have to work in the fields, and your son can go to a good school..."
Guo Hui's words moved Sun Lan's heart, and the desire and greed in her eyes finally overcame her fear.
"Are you sure you can succeed?" Sun Lan asked.
"Of course! As long as mom doesn't make trouble, we will definitely succeed." Guo Hui gritted his teeth.
"But Mom didn't agree with us doing this before she died. We did it on purpose just to get the Ning family to come..."
Before Sun Lan could finish her words, Guo Hui covered her mouth.
"What are you talking about! Mom's death was an accident, you know that?"
Suddenly, an extremely subtle creaking sound came from outside.
