Half an hour later, Xiao Chen and others left.
Compared to when he came here, Xiao Chen's mood was quite complicated.
Chen Ze said that he would not be allowed to take revenge, as everything was done voluntarily by Xu Honghui, including sacrificing her life.
Later, Xu Honghui was buried in the back mountain of the Xiao family. In the eyes of Chen Ze and even Xu Honghui's family, that was the highest honor.
If he hadn't died in the Xiao family, how could he have had this honor?
Hearing what Chen Ze said, Xiao Chen felt mixed emotions, while Bai Ye's eyes widened.
How could the people here have such thoughts?
He felt terrified. Was this the control the ancient martial arts family had over them?
I'm afraid that in their hearts, the Xiao family has become the supreme belief, just like in ancient times, being able to die for the royal family is the supreme honor!
Xiao Yu, Hao Jian, and Sun Wugong thought it was quite normal. After all, they had been staying in this environment all the time.
As for Li Hanhou, he ignored all this and didn't even think about it.
“Oh my god!”
After leaving Chen's house, Bai Ye couldn't help but scream out.
"What's going on? I can't accept it."
"There is nothing unacceptable. They all feel that their lives are given by the Xiao family, and everything is also given by the Xiao family. It is their honor to die for the Xiao family."
Sun Wugong said to Bai Ye.
"Don't you have such a person in the Bai family?"
Hearing Sun Wugong's words, Bai Ye's heart moved, and he thought of the Bai family's secret guards.
Most, or even all, of the Bai family's secret guards probably think the same way.
The Bai family has given them everything, and they are willing to die for the Bai family!
I even feel that this is an honor!
Thinking of this, Bai Ye smiled bitterly. It turned out that the things that were unacceptable to him also happened in the Bai family.
It's just... he had never realized it before.
"Brother, Aunt Xu's family all think the same way. Do you still want to avenge her?"
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Kill a life for a life."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"No matter what Chen Ze thinks, Aunt Xu died for me after all. Even if she died willingly, I will give her an explanation."
"Um."
Xiao Yu nodded.
"Over the years, Uncle Seven seems to have taken good care of the Chen family."
Xiao Chen turned around and looked in the direction of the Chen family with a complicated look in his eyes.
In fact, it was not only Bai Ye who couldn't accept it. He had been outside for many years and his thoughts had changed a long time ago. There were some things he couldn't accept.
"Let's go, let's just walk around the town."
Xiao Chen retracted his gaze, tried not to think about the matter anymore, and strolled around casually.
At noon, he came to the largest restaurant in town.
At this time, there were already quite a few people in front of the restaurant, led by an old man, all of them smiling and chatting about something.
"The eldest master is here."
Someone saw Xiao Chen and shouted.
Hearing the noise, everyone came forward and greeted Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded, responded one by one, and led them into the restaurant.
The restaurant had also received the news long ago and specially vacated the third floor to entertain Xiao Chen and others.
Soon, the food and wine arrived.
"Come on, I'll toast to everyone."
Xiao Chen stood up, picked up the wine glass, and glanced at the familiar faces.
When the elders saw Xiao Chen stand up, they also hurriedly stood up.
"Come on, cheers."
Xiao Chen drank it all in one gulp. This cup was not only a toast to them, but also a toast to the past.
On weekdays, he thought he had forgotten his childhood, but after coming back, especially when he saw these familiar people, the scenes from the past became particularly clear again.
It turned out that he had not forgotten everything, but had hidden it in the deepest part of his heart.
"Master, now that you are back, you won't leave?"
After sitting down, the old man asked cautiously.
"Let's go, let's take care of some things and then leave."
Xiao Chen smiled and said.
"Master, you haven't been back for so many years. Even if you want to leave, you have to stay for a while, right?"
The old man looked at Xiao Chen.
"Or stay here. It's not as good as here outside."
Hearing the old man's words, Bai Ye glanced at him.
In fact, at this moment, he couldn't tell whether the outside world was better or this world was better.
The world outside is exciting but also cruel. Life here is simple, but... a little boring after all.
Living here all your life is like sitting in a well. When you look up, all you can see is the Xiao family’s sky.
He thought again, China is so big, not to mention the small town of Xiao's, there are actually too many remote areas where people live like this.
They have never seen the outside world and are even afraid of it...isolated from the world.
However, Bai Ye felt that if they were allowed to see the outside world, they would probably not want to live like this anymore.
"Haha, Uncle Wang, I will come back often in the future."
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and said with a smile.
"Okay, that's good."
The old man nodded.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became better. Perhaps because they saw that Xiao Chen was not arrogant, everyone relaxed a little.
"Uncle Wang, I just went to Chen's house."
Xiao Chen thought of something and said to the old man.
"The Chen family? Oh, the Chen Ze family? The woman in his family was the eldest young master's wet nurse."
The old man thought about it and remembered.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Chen Ze got married again. Later, Master Qi went to the Chen family and buried Xu Honghui, is that her name? She was buried in Xiaoshan."
The old man spoke of this with a hint of envy.
"Yes, Aunt Xu's tomb is in the back hill of the Xiao family. I've been there to pay my respects."
Xiao Chen nodded.
After hearing what Xiao Chen said, the old man became even more envious. It would be such an honor for him to have the eldest son of the Xiao family come to pay tribute to him after his death.
Seeing the old man's expression, Xiao Chen smiled bitterly.
Maybe people in the outside world cannot accept his ideas, but the people here do.
"I want to avenge Aunt Xu, but Chen Ze told me not to..."
Xiao Chen thought about it and said.
"Revenge? Oh, I heard that she died in an accident, right?"
The old man was startled, then nodded.
"So many years have passed. The dead cannot be resurrected... She died, but she was buried in Xiaoshan. That was the result of her cultivation in several lifetimes."
"No, Uncle Wang, she was poisoned to death. Don't we need to avenge her?"
Bai Ye couldn't help it and spoke.
"Master Bai, although I don't know what happened, if it were me, I would be willing to be buried in Xiaoshan after my death."
The old man said to Bai Ye.
“…”
Hearing the old man's words, Bai Ye was stunned. Is this... is there something wrong with his brain?
Unimaginable, unacceptable!
Ignorance?
Or what?
He didn't know how to describe it!
"After she died, there was news that it was because of the eldest young master that she died?"
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
“Well, someone from the Xiao family wanted to poison me, and Aunt Xu died for me.”
Xiao Chen nodded.
"That's it. It was her honor to die for the eldest young master... Her mother also passed away a few years ago. When she was alive, she often said that her daughter had done such a great thing in her life! Later, the Seventh Master buried her in Xiaoshan. Her mother even said that she didn't expect to raise a daughter and have her buried in the Xiao family. It was a great honor."
The old man said to Xiao Chen.
"Besides, the Xiao family didn't mistreat her, let alone her mother and the Chen family. The Chen family also used the money to renovate their house...Seventh Master came to the town in person and told people to take care of her mother until the end of her life."
“…”
Bai Ye didn't say anything else. He felt it was a bit absurd. In the past, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Now, it was happening right before his eyes.
Xiao Chen was silent for a long time. Not only Chen Ze, but also Aunt Xu's mother felt the same way?
He thought about it and could still think of Aunt Xu's mother, who was also a very nice old lady.
"Master, listen to my advice. Don't do anything for her, and don't even bother to avenge her..."
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and said seriously.
"Come on, Uncle Wang, let's drink."
Xiao Chen smiled, didn't say much, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the old man.
There are some things he has to do.
However, his state of mind has changed from before.
At the same time, Xiao Yi also got the news.
"He's drinking with some acquaintance in town?"
Xiao Yi asked with a strange look on his face.
"yes."
The person reporting nodded.
"Okay, you go down first."
Xiao Yi waved his hand and then looked at Xiao Sheng opposite him.
"He used to go to town often?"
"Um."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"He is quite familiar with some people in the town."
"hehe."
Xiao Yi smiled.
"I really didn't expect that the eldest young master of the Xiao family would go to the town... But this is also a good thing."
Xiao Sheng didn't say anything. He had just arrived and didn't know what Xiao Yi wanted him to do.
"This kid doesn't have much sense of belonging to the Xiao family. Now, it is possible to let him return to the Xiao family... They said before that Xiao Chen went to the wet nurse's house."
When Xiao Yi said this, his voice became a little colder.
"Have you investigated the murder of Xu Honghui?"
“We have investigated.”
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"After all... the murderer wanted to kill Xiao Chen."
"I think you have investigated it too. Do you have any clues?"
Xiao Yi asked.
"There are four targets, but no evidence."
Xiao Sheng replied.
"who?"
Xiao Yi was cheered up, as long as he had a goal.
"Xiao Wei, Xiao Yunhong, Xiao Lian, and Xiao Lei."
Xiao Sheng said in a deep voice.
"Xiao Lei?"
Xiao Yi seemed a little unfamiliar with this name.
"Yes, he is of the same generation as Xiao Lian. He hasn't been in the Xiao family recently..."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"Where did he go? Can you find him?"
Xiao Yi frowned.
"Yes, he is one of the people that the Xiao family has placed outside to handle some matters."
Xiao Sheng nodded and said.
"Let him come back. If there is any suspicion, let him come back first... Xiao Yunhong, Xiao Lian, if it is really them, it will be troublesome."
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.
"If we tell that kid that it was Xiao Yunhong or Xiao Lian who poisoned him, do you think he will believe it? He will definitely think we are trying to pin the blame on a dead person."
"Um."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"And Xiao Wei..."
Xiao Yi thought of Xiao Wei and frowned.
"Do you think it's him?"
"There is a strong suspicion."
Xiao Sheng thought about it and said.
"Wait a minute. If he doesn't come to me, I'll control him first... I have to give that brat an explanation for this matter!"
Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, having made a decision.
