Another woman's scream was heard. The voice was so familiar, so shrill, and piercing the heart like a knife.
"Madame Wang." Wei Wan blurted out with a pale face.
Before he finished his words, he saw an old hand grabbing the windowsill, with blood all over its palm. The curtains fluttered and drops of blood splattered on them.
Then, the bloody hand slowly slid down, and the four people in the carriage could clearly hear something heavy falling to the ground outside the carriage.
Xu Yao cried out in fear, her little face turned pale, and one hand tightly grasped her mother's clothes.
The next moment, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened from the outside.
What caught the eye was corpses lying all over the ground, with blood gushing out, dyeing the ground red, like a hell on earth.
Outside the carriage, there were a dozen tall and mighty men holding weapons in their hands. They were dressed in blue-gray shorts and held torches and blood-stained long swords with cold blades.
Wei Wan's maid gritted her teeth, stood up, and bravely stood in front of her master, her body trembling constantly.
"Ayan, hold Yao Jie'er." Wei Wan picked up her daughter and wanted to hand her to Xu Yan. She then said to Xu Luo who was holding Xu Yan's waist tightly, "Luo Ge'er, you are a boy, you have to take care of your sister..."
However, Xu Yan did not take Xu Yao, but hugged Xu Luo even tighter.
"Ayan..." Wei Wan wanted to say that the girl was delicate, but the rest of her words stopped abruptly as she was shocked by Xu Yan in front of her.
In the dim candlelight, the handsome man in gorgeous clothes had a gloomy face, and a terrifying light flashed across his dark and gloomy eyes.
The flickering candlelight and the interweaving of light and shadow made the man's face look strange and eerie, as if he were a stranger.
"Ayan..."
Wei Wan called Xu Yan's name anxiously, wanting to ask him what was wrong.
She didn't have the chance to say the rest of the words because Xu Yan, who was two steps away, suddenly raised his arm and pushed his palm towards her.
It all happened so fast, in a flash.
Wei Wan was unable to react at all, she only felt the palm hitting her shoulder heavily.
A powerful force hit Wei Wan, and she widened her eyes in disbelief. She staggered while holding her daughter, lost her balance, and fell under the carriage...
"lady!"
The maid's sharp cry rang in Wei Wan's ears, almost piercing her eardrum.
Wei Wan hugged her daughter tightly, trying to protect her in her arms, and fell heavily to the ground on her back.
The stones on the ground hurt her back and shoulders.
She rolled on the ground holding her daughter for two times before stopping. When she looked up again, she felt a chill on her neck...
One of the bearded gangsters pointed the long knife in his hand at her neck. The sharp blade pressed against her skin, causing a cold and stinging sensation.
"Sister Yao." Wei Wan hugged her sobbing daughter even tighter and protected her with her thin arms.
Xu Yao sobbed and called for her mother repeatedly. Her small body trembled like a flower in the wind and rain.
Wei Wan looked in the direction of the carriage, her eyes widened even wider, her pupils were filled with spider-web-like bloodshot, and extremely complicated emotions surged.
There is shock, heartache, anger, despair and sadness.
Xu Yan walked down from the carriage holding Xu Luo, with steady steps.
She was lying on the ground in a mess, her neatly combed hair was now in disarray, and her dress was covered in dust.
And he stood straight, looking down at her in a condescending manner. There was no usual tenderness in his eyes, only coldness and disgust.
His eyes were violent and gloomy in the light of the flickering torches, like a demon from hell.
The murderous intent and malice emanating from him were obvious.
When the eight or nine robbers around saw Xu Yan getting off the carriage, they automatically divided into two rows and stood beside him as a guard.
Her maid was also roughly dragged off the carriage by the robbers, kicked to the ground, and collided awkwardly with the bloody corpses of the guards, old women, and maids around her.
At this moment, Wei Wan suddenly realized, her pupils shrank almost into a dot, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
This isn't some kind of robbery.
It was her husband, her bedmate, who wanted her dead.
This cruel fact struck her like a bolt of lightning, and a sharp pain that struck her soul swept through her whole body.
Her pale lips trembled as she murmured, "Why?"
Why would her husband, who had loved her for ten years, want her to die? ! "Why?" She couldn't help but ask Xu Yan again, her voice hoarse, staring at Xu Yan a few steps away, her expression so sad, her heart broken.
She really couldn't understand.
The man in front of her had been married to her for more than ten years. He was always so considerate and gentle, and he had never taken a concubine. Could it be that the loving days between husband and wife in the past were all fake? Even if he didn't care about the love between husband and wife, they still had a pair of children!
Wei Wan once again heard Gu Yanfei's voice, as clear as the autumn wind: "Otherwise, Madam and your child will surely die!"
At this moment, Wei Wan realized that what Gu Yanfei said was true. It was not nonsense or a threat. She saw the future for herself and her children.
He had made such a big move, I'm afraid he had a plan in advance, and he would not let me go just because of a momentary pity, but...
"Xu Yan, I beg you, please don't hurt Sister Yao and Brother Luo." Wei Wan said again in a trembling voice, her red eyes filled with fear, sadness and resentment that were difficult to calm down.
Xu Yan stood in the same place and raised his arm to lift Xu Luo in his arms a little higher. His expression and actions could not hide the love and affection he showed.
He said as a matter of course: "Of course I won't hurt Luo Ge'er."
However, when he lowered his eyes to look at Xu Yao who was held in Wei Wan's arms, his eyes turned cold, as if covered with a layer of ice, indifferent and ruthless.
Looking at the extremely strange man in front of her, Wei Wan suddenly had an epiphany and figured out something.
It turned out that the "child" Gu Yanfei was referring to was her daughter, and the people who would die today were her and her daughter.
Wei Wan held her daughter's head and buried her little face in her arms, not wanting her daughter to see her cold-blooded father.
"Why?" Wei Wan asked the same three words for the third time, her voice becoming more hoarse, as if she could not say anything else.
Yao Jie'er and Luo Ge'er are both his flesh and blood, his children.
Why is he so cruel to his daughter!
As if he realized what Wei Wan was asking, Xu Yan's expression became even colder. A sneer escaped from his tightly pursed thin lips, but he said nothing.
Wei Wan's heart felt even colder and her hands and feet felt numb.
"Daddy, I'm sleepy. When can we go back to rest?" Xu Luo in Xu Yan's arms rubbed his eyes and smiled sleepily, lazily, and with a bit of coquettishness.
Wei Wan's eyes, which were extremely shocked, fell on her son's smiling face. She couldn't believe what she saw and heard. Her son could actually laugh at this time? ! Xu Luo didn't even look at Wei Wan, and said happily: "It's rare for us to go out and play. Daddy, can you take me to night hunting tonight?"
"I want to eat the rabbit that Daddy roasted himself."
"Okay." Xu Yan said to Xu Luo lovingly, his eyes soft, "Let's pick up your mother and go hunting together. Your mother is better at roasting rabbits than I am."
"Daddy, it's a deal." Xu Luo was even happier and clapped his hands happily.
"Luo Ge'er!" Wei Wan couldn't help but call her son's name, not understanding why her son was like this.
His father wanted to kill his biological mother and sister, why could he still laugh, why could he turn a blind eye? !
Wei Wan felt as if her world had suddenly turned upside down, as if her husband and her son had become other people.
"Don't call me, you bad woman who bullied my mother." Xu Luo scolded impatiently, and finally turned to look at Wei Wan and Xu Yao on the ground, "You are not my mother!"
The child has a clear distinction between likes and dislikes, and naked hatred is written in his black and white eyes.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Wei Wan's heart was beating wildly, and her already confused mood became even more chaotic. It seemed that something was about to burst out, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.
Under this extremely tense mood, cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.
When the cold wind blew at night, she couldn't help but shiver and asked loudly: "Xu Luo, what do you mean by this?!"
Xu Luo was her only son, who had been brought up under her care since childhood. It could be said that she held him in her palm for fear of dropping him, and held him in her mouth for fear of melting him. This was the first time she had spoken to Xu Luo in such a tone.
Xu Luo turned his head away, hugged his father's neck and shouted, "I told you not to call me by my name."
Xu Yan patted Xu Luo's back soothingly and replied coldly: "Brother Luo is not your son."
His words seemed to be meant to comfort his son, but also seemed to be meant to explain things clearly to Wei Wan so that she would be able to understand the situation.
When he looked at Wei Wan again, his eyes were filled with the sinisterness before a storm, and he said coldly: "As long as you are here, Qing'er will not be able to enter the mansion legitimately and reunite mother and son."
"You've occupied Qing'er's place for so long, it's time to give it back to her."
His words were cold and full of disgust.
Wei Wan took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "I have never forbidden you to take a concubine..."
"My mother doesn't want to be a concubine!" Xu Luo interrupted Wei Wan with a sharp voice. The few scars revealed between her slightly loose collar seemed to be stained with blood.
He is not a bastard!
Xu Yan touched his son soothingly again, becoming even more unhappy, "Qing'er has a noble character and integrity, how can you be my concubine!"
"So, you want me to die?" Wei Wan said word by word.
Even though she already had some vague doubts in her heart, she was still deeply hurt by the other party's words.
Only then did she truly realize that the few words Gu Yanfei said to her were full of gems, and each word was filled with deep meaning.
However, she was so foolish that she interrupted the other party's suggestion and ignored the other party's warning.
In the end, my daughter was implicated.
My daughter is still so young.
