Chapter 2: Sword in Mother's Hand, Youzi's Clothes 3

Looking at her husband in the pool of blood, the woman covered her face with a sad cry. The man with the dagger beside him opened his eyes and his hands trembled, as if he was afraid that the person who fell would come back to life.

"Mingru, don't be afraid, he, he's dead... he's dead, don't be afraid." The man trembling and couldn't say a complete word, but it was more like comforting himself.

The woman sat in an untidy manner, covering her face and crying.

"It can't be blamed on us, can it? If it hadn't been for him, if he hadn't deliberately taken you away, you should have been my wife. Don't you think so, Mingru?" The man threw the dagger in his hand and hugged the woman's shoulder.

The woman shook her head sadly: "Now it's too late... Yuan Shu is still so young, how can I explain to him..." After saying that, he buried his face in his hand.

The man panicked when he heard what she said: "You won't tell him, will you? We... We can make up a reason to cheat, right! You have to hide it from him, and then we can be together. How nice of you!" He looked a little crazy.

"No! By now, can you continue to be with me as if nothing happened? You killed him. He was your brother. You actually killed him..." The woman grabbed her hair. "It's all my fault... I killed him!"

The woman cried more and more sadly, and the man also showed more fear and asked in a trembling voice, "You won't denounce me, will you? You won't tell Yuan Shu about tonight, will you? Mingru, answer me!"

No matter what he asked, the woman just shook her head and cried.

"If...if you can't swear to keep this secret, I will... I will kill Yuan Shu!"

"...what are you talking about?" The woman was stunned, "Do you really want to kill Yuan Shu?"

The man's expression became ferocious: "Yes, when I think that he is the rest of you and the eldest brother's child, I... I can't stand it! He shouldn't be born at all. You should be mine. Everything you have should be mine!"

The woman lowered her head in his words, silently lifted the quilt out of bed, and picked up the dagger on the ground.

"What do you want to do?" The man took a big step back in shock.

"Are you afraid of me?"

The woman wiped the blood stains on the dagger: "You and I have promised each other for life. Who would have expected that your eldest brother was the first to propose marriage and play tricks on people, and we became uncles and sisters-in-law. Yuan Min is an honest man. I should have done my part as a wife, but I can never break my affection for you, and finally it has led to today's bitter fruit.

With sad eyes in her eyes, she looked at the man and sighed, "People only hate to meet when they are not married, but they don't know that they are destined to leave early."

"With your experience, it is not difficult to determine that there is more than one perpetrator, right?"

Wei Tanyi drank tea leisurely, and every time he looked at the bandage on Han Ruxu's head, he would bend the corners of his mouth and smile inexplicably.

The man in black has been escorted back. After the trial, he confessed to the fact that he killed two bodyguards, and also admitted that he had sneaked into Yuezhai in an attempt to murder Wei Tanyi, and the confession was that he had been sentenced to death. This is the purpose of Han Ruqi to convey a message to the minister of Dali Temple.

"But the man admitted that it was useless even if there was a guess," Han Ruqi said helplessly and then asked, "What kind of amazing character have you provoked? A antique shopkeeper can be hunted down?"

Wei Tanyi looked innocent: "Businessmen always have business that can't be negotiated, and it is inevitable that the other party will hold a grudge. However, Han Dajin is a parent official, and Yongningfang is under the jurisdiction of Daren. Wei entrusted his life to Lord Han.

"Humph!" Although he didn't say anything, he didn't want to talk about it. Han Ruqi picked up his own cup and took a sip of tea.

"That's right, Yuan Shu... That's the teenager. You can take him away later."

"Oh?" This was really beyond his expectation.

"There is only one house in our store, and it is difficult for me to stay here all the time. Let's ask Lord Han to relieve the people's worries and take him to the prison to arrange food and accommodation!" The owner of the month of Ramadan looked distressed.

Han Ruxu sneered: "The child killed a family of four. When he went out, he killed two people who saw him and seriously injured one. I don't think he can eat in prison, so he has to go directly to the king of Yanluo to beg for food."

Nodding, Wei Tanyi only said to himself, "That family of four, I'm afraid it's not an extra child, but an extra brother-in-law."

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing. I'm just saying that it's okay. He is alone, and his death is his destination."

Hearing this, Han Ruxu opened his eyes and said, "Even if he caused you trouble, you shouldn't say such excessive words, right? Although he is killed, he is just a child!"

Wei Tanyi shrugged his shoulders indifferently: " Sooner or later, people will die. And he also said that he killed people just because he wanted to kill people, so he should have been ready to die.

At this point, Han Ruxu felt that he could not communicate with such people at all. He drank a cup of tea and asked in a rude voice, "What about the child?"

"It's in the backyard. You can go to him by yourself, but please be careful not to fall into the spring, otherwise my money for water will also be credited to the IOU."

***

"Is this really okay?" Yuan Shu looked at the clean clothes uncomfortably.

Wei Tanyi is packing his bags for him: "What do you mean?"

"Although I don't know what spell you used to change me, you can't wrap the fire in the paper. It will always be found, right?"

"Don't worry about this. I will bring it back before the puppet fails. No one will notice it."

The teenager still looked unhappy, holding a dagger in his hand: "You are my lifesaver, but I can't repay you..."

At this time, someone knocked on the window lattice, Wei Tanyi held up the window, and the man jumped in lightly.

"Uncle. Is that the boy?" The man came wearing a hat, covered his face with black gauze, and heard a man's voice. He asked after saluteing Wei Tanyi.

"Yes, I think he is very qualified. Maybe he can become a big player with a little **." Wei Tanyi handed the bag to Yuan Shu, and then pushed him in front of the bamboo hat man.

Yuan Shu looked up at the future master nervously and uneasily.

"If you are grateful to me, follow the master and practice well."

"Yuan Shu will definitely live up to the prince's expectations!" The teenager nodded vibly.

Wei Tanyi sent the two to the back door. Before leaving, the Dou Li man suddenly turned around and said, "The master asked me to bring you a message, saying that if you see Aunt Rong, please be sure to keep him."

"If he is worried, why doesn't he look for it himself?" Wei Tanyi asked with a sneer.

"The master asked his uncle to think about why Aunt Rong ran away in those years." After relaying the story, the man bowed slightly, and then picked up Yuan Shu and left Yongningfang at night.

Wei Tanyi raised the corners of his mouth: "The old monster who can only teach people a lesson." Turning around and about to go back to the room, footsteps came from the street.

"I don't know who Mr. Wei will send out in the middle of the night?"

Han Ru, who took three or two bodyguards on patrol at night, asked with hostility.

Wei Tanyi's cold face slowly made a familiar smile, and then slowly turned his head: "I don't know what is the intention of Lord Han's concern about Wei's private affairs so much?"

Han Ruqi sneered: "Who is shouting that his life is worrying, but now he is suspicious?"

After a moment of confrontation, Wei Tanyi smiled like a surrender: "Lord Han thinks what else can he do except a private lover in the middle of the night? Does the government even have to take care of this?

He told lies with his eyes open. The man who left was clearly a man with a child. Is this also called a lover's rendezvous? Han Ruxu really wants to refute this. A bodyguard secretly pulled his sleeve and said, "Your Excellency, there are some things that are inconvenient for outsiders to know. We can't care about it. Why don't we go?"

After such a reminder, Han Ruxu suddenly remembered the remarks of Wei Tanyi that took advantage of him - is it that this guy is good? Thinking about it, my whole body was cold, and I waved my hand: "Let's go!"

Wei Tanyi stepped into the door with an ambiguous smile and said to himself, "The more difficult it is to get, the more precious it is."

***

The scholar hurriedly dragged the female corpse to the open space outside the village to bury it, then patted the mud and hurried home.

"Mingru..." The scholar did not dare to look at his brother lying on the ground, but sat by the bed with his face covered.

Two people who clearly love each other have become uncles and sisters-in-law. They live under the same roof, but they seem to be separated from each other. If they hadn't begged bitterly, even this precious affair would have been a delusion.

And tonight, everything became cloud and smoke. The man who stopped them died, and she also died.

"I live, I bear him, and I am willing to accompany him with death and accompany him in the next life." The woman raised a dagger and stabbed into her body.

The scholar's shrank shoulders couldn't help trembling. Where should I go in the future and how can I face my nephew who lost his parents overnight?

"After I died, I quietly buried me and buried me outside the village... To Yuan Shu, you just need to say that I tried to seduce you, killed my husband by mistake, and wanted him to... hate, just hate me. The child is too fragile, let him live with hatred for me and live in order to kill me..." The woman is dying. He said, "Everything starts with me and should end with me."

Can you really continue to live as if it's none of your business?

What is the reason for living? I'm afraid of Yuan Shu's questioning eyes, afraid that people around me can see through my ugliness, and I'm afraid that the government will find out the truth.

The sound of footsteps in the courtyard should be Yuan Shu's small solution. The scholar was stunned for a short time, and suddenly stabbed the dagger into his chest and let out a scream.

No matter what he said at this time, the child would not doubt it. It was she who seduced herself and then killed herself and her eldest brother. All the sins were in her and had nothing to do with her. She was innocent and implicated. Thinking about this, I feel relaxed.

It's all that woman's fault.

***

Although what Yuan Shu saw in his dream was not what the woman wanted, it was true. If she hadn't let go of her young son, she would have been gone, and the man she loved so much that she thought could be entrusted betrayed her just for her own peace.

Wei Tanyi stared at the small porcelain bottle in his hand, recalling the teenager crying when he saw all this in his dream. He was selfish, and Yuan Shu was in turn grateful to himself, letting him know that the truth only deepened the pain for him. Sending him there to practice may have completely destroyed him. But compared with their own purpose, they are so small.

If there is a god, he may also forgive himself.

The tea in the cup was only slightly hot, and Wei Tanyi poured the powder from the porcelain bottle into the tea.

The mother's hand hugged the crying child, and the blue-gray tears scattered, disturbing the reflection of meditation in the cup.
