The mansion of Duke Dingguo, the courtyard of the Chu family.
A swarm of birds was running around the yard recklessly, their cries were shrill and mournful, and their sheer number was enough to make one's scalp numb.
Birds died by crashing into pillars or running into houses.
The guards tried their best to kill the birds. Inside the room, Chu was unconscious. Xie Shu stood beside the bed and used his body to shield Chu from being hurt by the crazy birds.
"Young Master, leave this to me. You go out and hide first!" The attendant killed two crows that flew towards Xie Shu and called out anxiously.
There were several bloodstains on the back of Xie Shu's neck, all caused by bird claws. Just as he was about to speak, he heard crying.
It was Xie Ling who ran in crying.
Xie Shu's expression suddenly turned cold: "Why don't you take the young master out quickly!"
No one expected Xie Ling to barge in at this moment. At this moment, everyone in the mansion was busy catching birds and obviously didn't notice him.
“No, I won’t leave!”
Xie Ling was as naive as a child. He was crying out of breath. He ran to the bedside with his hands waving, blocking Xie Shu and Chu, and shouted to the birds circling in the room:
"Don't hurt my brother and mother..."
"No, sister, sister!!"
As Xie Ling shouted, the servants in the room were all trembling with fear.
Xie Shu was the one who secretly interrogated Guifang, so the fact that Chu had given birth to a daughter earlier was not made public.
Now, hearing Xie Ling's shout, everyone naturally had guesses in their minds.
At this moment, the angry flock of birds stopped flying, and rushed out of the door one by one, flying away as if running for their lives.
The servants in the room all breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at each other with lingering fear.
Is it over?
Is it because Young Master Ling is here?
Xie Ling was still crying, and what she said made their hearts, which had not yet been completely relieved, rise again:
"My sister is even angrier...what should I do..."
Xie Shu didn't care about his own injuries at this moment. He first glanced at the unconscious Chu, then immediately checked Xie Ling's body, confirming that he was not injured by the birds, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Ling cried and threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist: "Brother, wuwu...my sister ignored me...she said I betrayed her..."
"Wow, I didn't betray my sister..."
Xie Shu felt mixed emotions, as he only found out today that he actually had a younger sister, and that the child was drowned by her father's order as soon as she was born.
Xie Shu patted Xie Ling's back to calm him down, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Ziyuan! Ling'er!" Xie Yun walked in quickly.
After seeing him come back, the little boy, who had just stopped crying after being comforted by Xie Shu, started crying again.
“Father!”
"Dear." Xie Shu nodded, but his eyes fell on the people behind Xie Yun.
Qing Wu and Xiao Chenyan walked in together, both of them had cold expressions, but Ye You behind them had an expression of watching a show, which could not be stopped.
In comparison, Wang Yulang, who is obviously a small man but has a serious face, looks more reliable than Yeyou.
Xie Shuchong nodded to them.
Qing Wu also bared her big teeth and smiled back. Seeing the bloodstain on Xie Shu's neck, she murmured with emotion, "It's good that his face is not hurt."
The people around her glared at her.
Qing Wu restrained herself a little from being too arrogant, so that her smile looked like she was gloating.
At this moment, Xie Ling also saw Qing Wu. His eyes lit up and he ran over eagerly.
"Sister, brother Yulang, you are all here!"
Qing Wu smiled, and Wang Yulang called out obediently, "Xie Ling, brother. Long time no see."
Xie Ling wanted to greet them happily, but he couldn't smile. He looked at Qing Wu, his eyes full of hope and expectation.
"Sister, can you help my sister and mother?"
Qing Wu smiled and said, "No."
Xie Ling was stunned.
Xie Shu was also stunned.
Probably in the world of living people, there are very few people who would refuse to ask for help with a smile, and few of them would have "I can help but I just don't want to" written clearly on their faces.
Xie Yun had a bitter expression on his face. Xie Shu glanced at him and understood what had happened.
At this moment, all the servants in the room had left.
Xie Shu's voice was slightly hoarse:
"He kissed her...but what else did he do after his little sister died?"
Xie Yun suddenly raised his head and looked at his eldest son, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Xie Shu's face was pale. Obviously, he had more on his mind than Xie Yun.
"Young Master, you should ask Madam Dingguo what you have done." Qing Wu's voice was full of smiles, but without any warmth: "Madam Dingguo, if you continue to sleep, it will be impolite."
The three sons of the Xie family in the room all froze and looked towards the bed. They saw that Chu's body was trembling slightly and her eyes were wet. It was obvious that she had woken up.
“Madam…” Xie Yun subconsciously wanted to go over, but he paused, forcing himself to harden his heart and said hatefully, “To this day, you still refuse to tell the truth!”
Chu opened her eyes in panic and met Xie Yun's disappointed eyes. She almost fainted again.
Xie Shu stepped forward and held Chu's hand. The latter grasped Chu's hand as if it was the last straw, but was met with her son's overly calm eyes.
At that moment, Chu's heart trembled and she looked at her eldest son in disbelief.
Xie Shu helped her sit up and put a pillow behind her back.
"My dear, don't hide it anymore."
Chu still wanted to quibble, but when she met Xie Shu's eyes that seemed to see through everything, her lips trembled a few times, and she looked at Qing Wu and others on the opposite side, her face burning with anger.
Shame, resentment, and grievance all surged into my heart.
"I have nothing to say!" Chu gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't do anything!"
"You!" Xie Yun looked at her with extreme disappointment. "You are still trying to argue now, Chu! That is our daughter!! She is your own flesh and blood that you carried for ten months, how could you be so cruel!"
Xie Yun's words were like needles piercing Chu's heart, especially the disappointed look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger, which further irritated Chu.
"I'm cruel?! How could I be willing to do that?!"
Chu said in a sad voice: "Who would be willing to kill the child they carried for ten months? I am doing this for the reputation of the Duke's Mansion!"
"Others can scold me and say I'm vicious, but how could you do this to me, Xie Yun! When I gave birth to Ling'er, you and Ziyuan were both incompetent, and no one in the mansion could do anything."
"Yes, I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and I was the one who ordered the drowning of the child! But you can't blame me! Blame her for being a monster!"
Chu began to tremble all over, her eyes filled with fear.
Even though so many things had happened, every time she thought of that little monster, she would feel cold all over and couldn't stop feeling nauseous.
Such a monster actually crawled out of her belly.
She felt uncomfortable every time she thought about it.
"My sister is not a monster!" Xie Ling sobbed, "Mother, my sister is not a monster!"
Chu's body froze, and she looked at Xie Ling fiercely, her anger rising to her head: "How come even you are speaking for that monster!"
"It was obviously that monster who made you become so stupid!"
"Chu!" Xie Yun stared at her in shock: "What the hell are you talking about!"
"I'm not talking nonsense." Chu suddenly calmed down. She pulled the corner of her mouth, and her secret was exposed. She suddenly felt strangely relaxed.
He said, "Why do you think Ling'er fell into the lake when he was nine years old? It was that monster who killed him!"
Xie Yun couldn't believe it, and Xie Shu also frowned.
Xie Ling shook his head frantically.
Chu said stubbornly, "Don't disbelieve me, Ling'er, don't hide the truth about that monster anymore. You were confused because of the fever and you admitted that you saw the monster when you fell into the water."
"She was the one who wanted to kill you. She dragged you into the lake and turned you into this idiot!"
Xie Ling stood there blankly, as if frightened by Chu's words. He could only shake his head and tried to explain but his words were stammering and he could hardly form a sentence.
His IQ is like that of a child. After falling into the water at the age of nine, he became a moron and could not speak fluently. It was only after he woke up this time that he could slowly speak long sentences.
I was so anxious that I couldn't even speak.
He couldn't say it, but someone else couldn't hold it in.
"Puchi——" Ye You not only laughed out loud, but also clapped his hands.
Chu glared at him, "Who are you!"
She just wanted to question Xie Yun why he called Xiao Chenyan and Qing Wu over. It would have been fine if these two people had come, but there were also two strangers, one big and one small.
Ye You smiled and said, "Me? A night watchman who came to watch the show."
He sighed and shook his head, "No wonder there's a saying in the world that a thief is always guilty. I've seen it with my own eyes, I've heard it with my own ears, and based on my imagination, I feel that it was that resentful little boy who harmed your son."
"She was killed right after she was born, and was inexplicably blamed. This Chunchun is such an innocent child."
Qing Wu also laughed: "That's right, that evil little devil is quite patient, he actually took action only after he had done it."
The two ghosts sang in unison and did not speak human language.
The third son of the Xie family was speechless, while Chu's face turned purple and she was shaking with anger.
Wang Yulang looked left and right and felt that the atmosphere was really bad. The little adult tugged at his aunt's sleeve and whispered, "Aunt, aunt and my master seem to be pissing me off to death."
Xiao Chenyan rubbed the child's furry head and said calmly, "It's your illusion."
"But Brother Xie Ling's mother seems to be about to faint..."
"Your hallucination."
