Cheng Shaoyuan asked hurriedly.

Huan'er could not speak clearly, but just pointed to the south with her tender little hand. After hearing this, Cheng Shaoyuan quickly lifted up his skirt and chased in the south, only to find that the place was in a mess and there were many horse hoof prints on the ground.

Gu Yunru noticed something strange and hurried forward. She found the bodies of Hengniang and An'er on a nearby mound. She was so scared that she quickly took a step back. Cheng Shaoyuan happened to see this scene and preconceived that this woman had killed the mother and son.

"It was you, right? It was you!" Cheng Shaoyuan walked up to her without saying a word and grabbed her wrist fiercely. Gu Yunru felt a pain in her wrist and frowned, trying to push his hand away, but she didn't expect that he would vent his anger on her for no reason.

"It's not me. I don't know what just happened..."

"If it's not you, why did you suddenly appear here?"

Cheng Shaoyuan asked aggressively, and Gu Yunru was speechless and didn't know how to refute.

"You should go and see your wife and children." Gu Yunru looked anxiously at the two people lying in a pool of blood. The obvious scars on their necks showed that they were most likely dead. The child was still alive, so maybe he could be saved.

Gu Yunru broke free from his restraints and squatted beside to monitor the breathing of the two. Heng Niang could no longer be saved, but An'er still had a glimmer of hope.

Watching this woman hurriedly pulling out a silver hairpin on her head, this action reminded him of Gu Yunru ten years ago. When encountering an emergency, she would also crawl and pull out the hairpin on her head.

The action was surprisingly similar. I thought I was seeing things and rubbed my eyes quickly. An'er coughed, and Cheng Shaoyuan quickly walked forward and held An'er in his arms.

"An'er..." Cheng Shaoyuan shook his arm, and Gu Yunru quickly tried to dissuade him, "Don't shake him yet, he's feeling dizzy right now."

An'er gradually opened his eyes, but when he saw his mother lying on the ground, he burst into tears.

She cried so heartbreakingly that it was heartbreaking. Gu Yunru looked at Heng Niang, who had already died. Her eyes were still open, and she was obviously frightened. Her pupils gradually became dilated and she became weak until the temperature of her body gradually subsided.

"An'er, don't cry, Daddy is here." Cheng Shaoyuan hugged him in his arms with a distressed look on his face. Gu Yunru checked the cause of Heng Niang's death. It was obvious that she was injured by a sharp weapon and killed with one knife. It seems that this man's kung fu is very advanced and should not be underestimated.

"These horse hoof prints prove that an army just passed by. As to whether they are the troops of Da Qi, we have no way of knowing." However, how could the troops of Da Qi kill a woman on the road for no reason? It was too unbelievable. Cheng Shaoyuan's eyes were full of bloodshot, and he was burning with rage, wishing to tear them into pieces.

"How did you appear here?" Cheng Shaoyuan is still bothered by her appearance. Ordinary people would not come up to Lingshan. There are also buried rich and noble people, or soldiers who died in a foreign land. It is really strange that she suddenly appeared here.

"I was really just passing by..." Gu Yunru made up an excuse. Seeing that he didn't quite believe her, she lowered her head and said, "Let's leave this place quickly and take her back."

There was a little daughter in the carriage. Cheng Shaoyuan then remembered that if his daughter was lost, he would want to die to atone for his sin.

"Okay, please get on the carriage." Cheng Shaoyuan didn't want Huan'er to know that her mother was gone, so he carried An'er on board first. He also put Heng Niang's body on board, and handed Huan'er to Gu Yunru, asking her to take her into the city.

Seeing the carriage drive away, Gu Yunru bent down and wiped Hua'er's cat-like face, and smiled at her: "Little friend, what's your name?"

"What's wrong with me calling Huan'er daddy? Why did you let Huan'er walk back?"

Huan'er is a pretty little girl. Heng Niang loves Cheng Shaoyuan very much and gives birth to children for him, but she did not expect that she would suffer a misfortune.

"Because the carriage has to load a lot of things, we can't take Huan'er back for the time being. So I will take you back, okay?" Gu Yunru pinched her nose tip. Huan'er and her lips are somewhat similar to Cheng Shaoyuan. She is very beautiful with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Cheng Shaoyuan asked someone to put Heng Niang's body in the room first, and did not inform any other people about this matter. Seeing An'er crying and refusing to give up, he could no longer bear it and yelled at him hysterically.

"Enough, your mother is gone, what's the point of crying!" Cheng Shaoyuan grabbed his arm and said to him viciously. An'er was so scared that his eyes dilated and he didn't dare to cry anymore.

"Be good, An'er. Dad will protect you well in the future." Cheng Shaoyuan took a deep breath and held him in his arms. He also had responsibilities that he could not shirk today. If he had not chosen today to commemorate Gu Yunru, how could he have brought disaster upon himself.

"Dad. Will Mom never come back?" An'er couldn't help asking. Her nose and eyes were red from crying, which made people feel very distressed.

"Be good... Mom just went to another place." Cheng Shaoyuan was comforting him when Gu Yunru brought Huan'er into the Cheng Mansion. The facilities of the Cheng Mansion were still the same as before, without any qualitative changes. As soon as they walked in, there was a scent of books. They heard that Master Cheng and Madam Cheng also passed away last year.

She heard this from Huan'er's mouth. Although Huan'er is young, she has reached the stage of babbling and can speak fluently.

"Okay, take your sister back to your room. Remember what your father told you. Don't say things that you shouldn't say. Do you understand?" Cheng Shaoyuan repeatedly warned An'er. An'er was one year older than his sister, so of course he should act like a brother.

"good."

An'er took Huan'er's hand and walked into the house obediently. Gu Yunru watched from the side with mixed feelings. He sniffed and didn't know how many tears he had wiped away along the way.

After watching the child walk away, Cheng Shaoyuan's expression changed immediately. He held a dagger on the table against Gu Yunru's neck. Gu Yunru suddenly felt her scalp tingling and stared at him without blinking, fearing that his next move would directly cost her life.

"Do you know why I do this to you?"

"Are you still suspecting that Heng Niang's death has something to do with me?" Gu Yunru was also very uneasy along the way, but she still sent Huan'er back, which indirectly proved that she had no direct relationship with Heng Niang's death.

"That's right. But the moment I saw you send Huan'er back, my doubts about you were dispelled. But you haven't told me why you appeared on Lingshan Mountain. Did you follow our family there?"
