Chapter 168 Some things have no shore and can't be turned back

Mrs. Qiao frowned slightly and thought, don't let Mrs. Huang's superficiality ruin my good deeds.

"You, don't you have anything to say to me?" Ah Xue took Chen Dalang's dirty clothes to the closet. When she turned around, a lovely young lady with fair skin was standing behind her.

She is still childish, of medium height, and looks a little silly and naive, but there is a shrewdness between her brows that sees through everything, making people dare not underestimate her as a child.

"You really don't know me?" Li Jidao asked, "Or should I say, you really don't know me?"

"Mom, madam..." Ah Xue laughed miserably: "Madam, are you lost? I'll take you out."

Li Jidao raised his eyebrows: "Okay, but don't regret it!"

"Madam, I don't understand what you are saying." Axue lowered her head and took Li Jidao out.

Li Jidao said: "I don't understand. Then I will say it more ambiguously. Okay!"

Axue: “…”

Yunniang did say that their wife was very fond of being weird, but she didn't expect that this young lady also had this problem.

Yes, she had heard her, Yunniang said that.

But Yunniang would never mention herself to them, and Yunniang would never betray herself.

This girl is crazy, she must have said it casually.

Axue kept calm and said nothing.

Li Jidao muttered: "This man, revenge is not wrong, but he hurt innocent people. What is the difference between you and those bad guys?"

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back will bring you to the shore... Only a fool would believe that. Some things have no shore and cannot be turned back. Please take care!"

Li Jidao looked at Axue deeply again and turned away.

"Where are you going? No one is allowed to leave now. Everyone must go to the open space in the front yard." As Qiao and the others came out of Chen Dalang's room, their way was blocked by a beautiful woman in bright red clothes.

Qiao frowned slightly, stepped forward and said, "Third sister-in-law, I have a guest, what are you doing?"

He laughed again, "You don't usually dress so frivolously. How come Balang is nowhere to be found, but you are so happy, wearing gold and silver. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"

The person who came was Chen Ba's biological mother.

The niece of the old lady from the Marquis's mansion was close to her and good-looking, and was very much loved by her husband and the old lady.

If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Qiao was too powerful and her family had a high status, she would have been the mistress of the marquis's mansion by now.

Wen Linglong's face turned pale and she scolded him, "Don't talk nonsense. Nothing happened to my son. He is alive and well. He just went out to play and hasn't come back yet. Why shouldn't I wear mourning clothes? I will only wear mourning clothes when your child dies."

So she thought that if she wore red and green and was happy, nothing would happen to her son.

Qiao sneered.

Mrs. Huang was furious. Her son was in poor health. Wasn't Wen Linglong cursing her?

"You have done too many bad things in your daily life, and the retribution is coming to your child." Huang scolded Wen Linglong, but did not dare to step forward. After scolding, she hid behind Qiao.

Wen Linglong narrowed her eyes, revealing a gleam of brilliance and danger.

But she didn't lose her temper. She took a long breath and said, "Sister-in-law, I won't say any more. Come with me."

Mrs. Qiao asked Mrs. Wen and the others to go back first. Wen Linglong's son had died and she was a little crazy, so they could talk about finding her later.

"No one is allowed to leave. Go to the front yard." Wen Linglong said coldly.

Qiao laughed angrily and said, "Third sister-in-law, open your eyes and look. This is the wife of the Wang family, and this is the Li family. They are all my guests, and they don't even know your Balang. Are you crazy? You are trying to stop the guests."

"That's what I mean."

Xiao Yun brought a group of local martial artists, and Cui Chengfeng was beside them, and they broke in.

Mrs. Qiao looked at Cui Chengfeng, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Xiao Yun and said, "Xiao Dalang, do you know where this is? Do you really think there is no one left in our Chen family?"

Officials in the Secretariat and the Ministry of Personnel were close ministers to the emperor. Regardless of their official rank, they could discuss matters with the emperor, and were therefore called prime ministers.[1]

Chen Yan and Xiao Jingze, one led the troops and the other led the civil officials, and both of them were second to none.

Are on an equal footing.

Xiao Yun directly led people into the Chen family, obviously not taking the Chen family seriously.

Wen Linglong said coldly: "This is what I mean, and it is also what my mother means. Second sister-in-law, the murderer may be in the backyard."

Joe was about to speak.

The servant helped the old lady of the Chen family come over.

She was in her fifties but looked very young. She asked Qiao in a cold voice, "Do you still have the final say in this family when I am your mother-in-law?"

"Why can't you check it? I said you can check it."

Huang was timid and looked at Qiao fearfully: "Anyway, we didn't kill anyone, let them investigate."

Qiao lowered her sleeves and clenched her fists. This was not a matter of whether to investigate or not, this was a matter of majesty and status.

But this old lady was nominally her mother-in-law.

"Mother, you're too kind, but we are the Chen family." Qiao lowered her head slightly, her eyes blinking in anger.

The old lady said, "The Chen family also breaks the law."

"Actually, there's no need to make such a big fuss. You just want to find the body, and I've already found it."

As Cui Chengfeng spoke, he made a gesture with his hands and drew circles on the ground. He held a spirit-summoning bell in his hand and shook it three times. Then, a white lantern slowly flew up from the direction of Huang's courtyard.

When we got closer, we found that it was a Kongming lantern.

The Kongming lantern floated towards the circle drawn by Cui Chengfeng and soon, a young corpse fell into the circle.

With a 'bang' sound, everyone gasped.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Chen Balang. The boy's body had not yet fully grown and he was not very tall. His body was swollen and had a bloody hole in his chest, as if he had been stabbed with a dagger.

Wen Linglong looked at her son's miserable state and was in a trance for a moment. After a long while, she roared angrily, "Balang, Balang, who on earth killed my son..."

She was about to kneel down to hug her son, when suddenly another dead body fell from the spinning Kongming lantern.

There was a loud bang, and Wen Linglong was almost hit. The servants were frightened and hurriedly helped her up.

Wen Linglong: “…”

She had forgotten how to cry.

"Why is there another body?"

Not one, but four.

"Brother? Brother? This is my brother, why is he here too?" Chen Dalang's previous fiancée is now his third wife. Her name is Wen Xiuniang. His brother is twenty-three years old and has no special abilities, so his father arranged him to be a guard in the city.

He has been missing for half a month.

The body was already badly decayed, but from the clothes on his body it was clear that it was definitely her brother.

The way he died was exactly the same as Chen Balang's.

"How could this happen, brother, brother." Wen Xiu Niang also knelt down and cried.

Wen Linglong cried for her son, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knelt on the ground and could not get up.
