Qing Wu's words caught the attention of Mu Ying and Wang Yulang, and both mother and son looked at her with some confusion.
Qing Wu did not answer but asked: "One is a resentful child who resents his mother, and the other is a mother who abandoned her daughter and ordered someone to kill her. Who do you think deserves to die more?"
Mu Ying's face turned stern, and he blurted out, "How can there be a mother like that?"
Xiao Yulang also widened his grape-like eyes, with a look of confusion and shock.
Mu Ying subconsciously held his son's hand, and after calming down a bit, he asked, "Is this mother's family financially difficult and can't afford to raise a child?"
Mu Ying had also heard that some poor families could not afford to raise their children after they were born, so they would simply abandon them and drown them, and most of the time it was baby girls who suffered this misfortune.
Qing Wu shook her head: "The family is well-off, and the child was born with a weird face."
Mu Ying was stunned and still couldn't understand.
"No matter how weird it is, it's still my child." She frowned, "After ten months of pregnancy, it's my own flesh and blood. How can you do such a cruel thing to me?"
Since they are a wealthy family, even if the child is born abnormal and they don't want to keep him by their side to raise him, at most they can spend some money and raise the child as a farmer. Why would they directly take the other person's life?
Mu Ying took a deep breath and said, "With a mother like this, it's only right that her child hates her."
Xiao Yulang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "But I don't think that resentful sister hates her mother."
Mu Ying was surprised. Ye You, who was just coming over, heard what he said and looked at the little guy with interest.
"Tell me, Master, I am also curious, why do you think that resentful child does not hate his cruel mother?"
When Xiao Yulang saw Ye You coming, he immediately stood up and performed the disciple salute like an adult. Mu Ying also stood up to greet him. Ye You waved his hand to indicate that he was casual and sat down next to Qing Wu.
Hong Rui was about to place chopsticks for him when she heard him say, "No rice, just give me some incense sticks."
Hong Rui agreed and went to the side to light three incense sticks. She ate the incense while wandering at night. Under Qingwu's contemptuous gaze, she looked like she was enjoying it and motioned the little disciple to continue.
"Sir, I think if Sister Yuan Tong really hated her mother, then her mother should have died long ago."
Yeyou Xiaoyu: "How do you know she didn't take revenge?"
Xiao Yulang blinked his eyes and said, "If she had hurt someone, Auntie wouldn't have asked this question. Besides, if the mother is not kind, the son is not filial. It's not wrong for her to seek revenge."
Ye You laughed out loud and looked at Qing Wu. Qing Wu looked at him with a bit of pride and said, “My dear nephew, see how smart you are!”
Yeyou: He is my close disciple!
Although it was only a few days since he accepted the apprentice, Yeyou had already started teaching. As for the content of the lessons, it was nothing more than him working diligently to perform his duties as a night watchman, patrolling the Yin and Yang roads at night, and taking this little apprentice along as a little supervisor.
Therefore, Wang Yulang has also gained a lot of knowledge from the night tours in the past few days.
Children have clear minds and innocent hearts, and they do not know fear. On the contrary, they do not have the same grudges and fears towards ghosts as humans do.
"Let's get back to the beginning. Who do you think deserves to die more, little disciple?"
Xiao Yulang blinked his eyes and said, "Sister Yuan Tong, because she is already dead, her mother didn't love her. Instead of staying here to harbor resentment, it is better for her to reincarnate early."
"In the next life, she will definitely have a mother who loves her."
"Moreover, I think her mother must have received retribution."
"How clever." Ye You cursed with a smile, and looked at Qing Wu: "Your nephew is quite good at changing the concept."
Qing Wu also smiled and picked up a piece of meat for the little guy with chopsticks. "Keep eating. After dinner, it's a good time to go out and do some work to digest the food."
Xiao Yulang ate diligently while Qing Wu left the table first, and Ye You followed her out.
"It seems like you can't avoid the matter of the wife of Duke Dingguo." Ye You sneered, "Are you still prepared to help her for the sake of your wild man?"
"Did I say I was going to take action?" Qing Wu raised her eyebrows and walked straight towards the main hall.
Xiao Chenyan had just returned home. As soon as he stepped into the mansion, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"A Yan!"
Xiao Chenyan turned his head and saw the carriage of Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Xie Yun got off hurriedly without waiting for the carriage to stop, looking extremely anxious.
Seeing this, Xiao Chenyan quickly stepped forward to support her. Xie Yun held his arm tightly, looking anxious: "Your aunt is in trouble, I'm here to look for..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Qiao came out quickly and stepped forward to greet him: "Your Majesty, the princess knows that the Duke is coming, so she asked me to come over and invite the Duke in to talk."
There was a glimmer of hope and excitement in Xie Yun's eyes, and he felt that Qing Wu was very smart. Did she know what happened in their house?
Xiao Chenyan frowned, sighed inwardly, and supported Xie Yunyu: "Uncle, let's go in and talk first."
Xie Yun was extremely anxious, but he also knew that he had to ask Qing Wu for help in this matter and there was no time to rush.
In the main hall, Qing Wu and Ye You were drinking tea. They had only taken a few sips of tea when Xiao Chenyan and Xie Yun arrived.
The latter was so impatient that he walked ahead of Xiao Chenyan. On the other hand, Xiao Chenyan walked calmly without showing any urgency.
"My uncle is here. Please sit down. Luqiao, make a pot of tea for my uncle."
Xie Yun was in no mood to drink tea. Chu was in a coma and strange things happened one after another at home. He was so anxious on the way here that blisters appeared on his mouth.
"My niece, I really can't drink tea. It's really urgent. I'm here to ask you to save my life."
"Uncle, you should have a cup of tea first to clear away heat and calm the mind." Qing Wu still looked serious. Xie Yun had no choice but to take the teacup and drink it in one gulp without caring about his manners.
The good thing is a bowl of cold tea, which is not hot at all. After drinking it, it actually feels like it has soothed my internal heat.
In just this moment, after Xie Yun calmed down, he detected some clues from Qing Wu's attitude.
Xiao Chenyan's silence along the way obviously explained something.
Xie Yun felt a little uneasy and said, "Some strange things happened in the mansion today. Birds kept flying into my wife's yard and she is now unconscious..."
He paused and said in a hoarse voice: "There is something wrong with Chu. After the incident, Shu'er interrogated the maid next to Chu, and the maid said..."
"…It is said that when Chu gave birth to Ling'er, she also gave birth to a baby girl, but the child died at birth."
"Puff..." Qing Wu laughed, "Uncle, do you believe this?"
Xie Yun felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and the corners of his eyes were a little red and sore.
"I don't believe it."
Xie Yun shook his head. His heart was in turmoil throughout the journey. On the one hand, he only found out today that he had a daughter.
The poor child died just after he was born.
On the other hand, he was angry about Chu's deception!
If the child really died after birth, why hide it? Considering Chu's abnormal behavior in recent days, Xiao Chenyan's reminder, and the strange things happening in the mansion today.
Xie Yun could only think of one sentence: Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor!
It was that child who came to seek revenge on the Chu family!
That was their own daughter. Whenever Xie Yun thought about the fact that it was Chu who killed his daughter, his blood ran cold.
After sharing a bed with someone for so many years, it was the first time that Xie Yun felt that the person next to him was such a stranger.
He just couldn't figure out why the Chu family would do such a thing?
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its owner. Madam Dingguo has to pay back the debt she owes herself."
Qing Wu's voice was faint and emotionless, shattering Xie Yun's hopes.
But she changed the subject: "If you can only choose one between your wife and your daughter, who will Duke Dingguo choose?"
Xie Yun was stunned, his voice trembling: "What does this mean?"
"If you want to save your wife, your daughter will die."
"If you want to protect your daughter, then the lady must pay with blood, life for life."
Qing Wu's voice was extremely cold and completely devoid of humanity, just like a heartless and heartless evil ghost in the underworld, examining the ugliness of the world.
One is a ghost daughter who died long ago and has no emotions.
One is a beloved wife who lives with you day and night and sleeps with you in the same bed.
It seems easy to choose who to choose.
Xie Yun seemed to be weighing and hesitating, but he didn't think too long. He took a deep breath and gave an answer:
“I don’t want to choose either.”
"That child has suffered so much. We are the ones who have let her down. Even if she comes to seek revenge, it is what she deserves."
"As for Chu, she is my wife."
Xie Yun's eyes were already filled with tears: "If you want to give life for life, then give my life for my poor daughter."
Qing Wu smiled, stood up, and didn't say whether she believed it or not.
He just said calmly: "I hope Duke Ding will keep his wish after seeing your daughter."
