Chapter 65
Yu Yanzong was tortured until he lost his appearance. This is the fifth night of his poisoning. There is no antidote, and he will not survive.
The antidote was on him, and he had already been searched out.He was tortured day and night, and no wounds could be seen on the outside, but he knew very well that there was no intact part of his whole body, from the inside to the outside.
He wanted to live, and promised to expose Yu Huai'an's conspiracy in front of Madam Yu's grave.
Yu Yanzong endured the severe pain and said: "She, she never had a miscarriage, it was my parents who coaxed the old lady of the Yu family..."
Yu Xingshu and Yu Huai'an came from the same school and met when they were young. When Yu Huai'an got married, he persuaded Yu Xingshu to get married as soon as possible.Yu Xingshu refused, determined to wait until he had achieved fame and settled down with his mother before considering this matter.His family background is not as good as that of Yu Huai'an, so it makes sense.
Later, the two of them entered Beijing together and joined the Grand Marshal Mansion with a letter of recommendation. Yu Xingshu had a better reputation, and Taiwei Xiao specially called him by name and asked him a few words, which made him appreciate him.
After returning from the Grand Marshal Mansion, Yu Xingshu was often in a trance, as if he had something on his mind.
Yu Huai'an asked again and again, and learned from him that Taiwei Xiao had a daughter, who was beautiful and beautiful, and changed a poem for him behind the osmanthus tree, making him fall in love at first sight.
After that, Yu Xingshu frequently went in and out of the Grand Marshal Mansion, and when Yu Huai'an asked him about Xiao Shutong again, he only said, "Be careful."
He didn't say anything, but the smile on his face became brighter day by day, and he couldn't hide it.
Yu Huai'an was not feeling well, he always knew that with Yu Xingshu's literary talents, it would be a matter of time before he was selected.The marriage that Yu Xingshu will find after the election will be better than his, but it doesn't matter, Yu Xingshu was born in a poor family with a sick mother, and the girl who is willing to marry him will not be a girl from a noble family.
He didn't expect Yu Xingshu to be infatuated with the daughter of the Grand Marshal Mansion.
Later, at the Lantern Festival, he followed Yu Xingshu to meet Xiao Shutong from a distance. Under the bright lights, when he saw the two greet each other with smiles, he knew that he could never compare to Yu Xingshu, even if Yu Xingshu had an accident., the name fell to Sun Shan.
He couldn't make Yu Xingshu the son-in-law of the Grand Marshal Mansion.
Coincidentally, before the announcement of the list, Xiao Taiwei left Beijing by order.
Yu Huai'an paid more close attention to Yu Xingshu secretly, knowing when he left and when he came back, guessed where he went from his smell, and knew that his relationship with Xiao Shutong was getting better.
The closer the return of Taiwei Xiao, the more restless Yu Huai'an became, and he couldn't sleep day and night. After tossing and turning for several days, he came up with an idea.
Yu Xingshu is not easy to deceive, but the old lady of the Yu family has no experience, and her only honor is this son.From the day she sent her son to read and write, she dreamed of having a daughter-in-law from a well-born family.
Yu Huai'an pretended to have no intention of mentioning the daughter of the Grand Marshal Mansion in front of the old lady, saying that Yu Xingshu was attracted to her, and that he might kill her mother and son when Taiwei Xiao came back, and told her that Yu Xingshu was worried about it, Don't let her talk nonsense.
Yu Huai'an didn't have a clear purpose, if it could be, it would be Yu Xingshu's bad luck, if not, he would have no loss.
After Xiao Taiwei came back, he ordered someone to build a roadblock to stop Xiao Taiwei, and asked Mrs. Yu to guide Mrs. Yu to drive through the Grand Marshal Mansion, and tricked her into saying some nasty words.
"What about the daughter of a high official's family? When she enters my Yu family, she has to work as a cow and a horse for me. She has to do laundry and sweeping, and she has to take care of me herself."
"There are only two daughters. Will half of the family business belong to my son?"
"If you can't do it, you'll get pregnant first. Let people see that the daughter of this rich family is not as shameful as the girl in the mountain village..."
After that, Yu Xingshu was rejected by the Grand Marshal Mansion many times.
But the good times didn't last long, and not long after, Yu Xingshu's family had an extra girl in a Jingchai sarong, which couldn't hide her beauty.Xiao Taiwei's daughter would rather abandon her glory and wealth to be with Yu Xing.
Yu Huai'an felt cold in his heart, he was afraid that Captain Xiao would be soft-hearted, and the relationship is very rigid now, but if he loves his daughter, or the two of Yu and Xiao have a child later and his heart softens, then Yu Huai'an will be finished.
He had no way out, and kept having nightmares for several days. On a cold winter day, he learned that Captain Xiao had gone to Yu's house, so he decided to give it a go.
He distracted Yu Xingshu, and let Mrs. Yu scare her in Mrs. Yu's ears, saying that Captain Xiao brought people to arrest Xiao Shutong and went back. Without Xiao Shutong as a life-saving talisman, he would never treat Yu Xing again.Show mercy.
The old lady of the Yu family panicked and rushed to meet Xiao Taiwei before Xiao Shutong, pretending to be injured by him and fell to the ground.
This is not enough, the old lady is afraid of the powerful from the bottom of her heart, afraid that after Xiao Shutong leaves, her mother and son will really die without a burial site, remembering the jokes about pregnant marriages that she heard from the public a few days ago, she can't choose what to sayIt was said that Xiao Shutong already had a fetus in her womb.
It happened to be cold at that time, and Xiao Shutong's frostbite recurred. When he heard the noise, his face was haggard and his steps were unsteady. Seeing that Captain Xiao was furious and wanted someone to kill Mrs. Yu, she couldn't stop her, but fell to the ground weakly. In desperation,Forced to die.
The old lady was not frightened, she rolled her eyes and passed out, Xiao Shutong was seriously injured and lost consciousness even if she couldn't support herself.Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Yu came with the doctor and said that Xiao Shutong's fetus could not be kept.
Captain Xiao was there to visit, but he was accused of bullying and killed an unborn child, so he returned to the Grand Marshal Mansion with a cold heart.Xiao Shuyu was younger, and Xiao Lun was a man, neither of them could share his pain.
Xiao Taiwei sat quietly for a whole night, and went forward the next day, stopped at the gate of the mansion, and spat out a big mouthful of blood.
Since then, the Grand Marshal Mansion has only had one lady.Xiao Shuyu was guarded even more strictly, he was not allowed to leave the house, he was not allowed to see outside men, and he was not allowed to see Xiao Shutong and Yu Xingshu.
"My mother is pretending?" Yu Xingshu's expression was gloomy, he staggered back, and finally knelt down on the ground weakly.
Xiao Taiwei was also on the verge of falling, and after being supported by Xiao Lun, he said sadly: "Her frostbite...why didn't she say..."
The two have doubts, but each can answer them.
The old lady of the Yu family is timid and easy to deceive, it is not impossible to do this kind of behavior.Yu Xingshu closed his eyes, remembering that before she died, she repeatedly told herself to treat Xiao Shutong well.
Xiao Shutong didn't say anything about her falling into the water in winter, because there was only a young girl in the house at that time, she couldn't fall down, and after Xiao Taiwei returned to Beijing, the weather turned warmer, she was fine, so she felt that there was no need for Xiao Taiwei to worry.
The success of Yu Huai'an's scheme all depends on the right time and place and the cooperation of the old lady of the Yu family.
He calculated very well, Xiao Taiwei did not want Xiao Shutong to be spurned by others, so he would not tell this matter, even if he found out that Xiao Shutong did not have any pregnancy-related pulse and medication, etc., he would think that it was Yu Xingshu who wanted to keep Xiao Shutong safe.Faces are fake.
The old lady was afraid of death, and she dared not tell anyone, as no one would know about it.
Not long after, he tampered with the medicine of the old lady of the Yu family, and she passed away. He was completely relieved.
"That's it, what my father said when he was drunk, I, I have recruited them all, Your Highness, please give me the antidote, please..." Yu Yanzong was so painful that he couldn't say a word, and he could barely tell the cause and effect plan,Then he screamed and called Yun Heng.
In the falling rain, Yunheng told Yu Qiu about it on the other side.
It was he who saw that Yu Qiu couldn't bear it, so he didn't take her to the tomb to watch the confrontation between a few people. Maybe it would make her feel better if a third person told her about the matter.
Yu Qiu was in a daze, "How could this be..."
"Why not? If I hadn't asked for a marriage order, maybe you would marry Yu Yanzong." Yun Heng said.
Marrying Yu Yanzong, he will find a way to reconcile the Yu family and Xiao Taiwei. After going around in circles, the benefits of the Grand Marshal Mansion will all fall on the Yu family. What a good idea.
Yu Qiu felt chills all over his body.
The rain didn't fall very much, but after a long time, the clothes would get wet. Counting the time, Yun Heng felt that it was time to make it clear, so he took Yu Qiu's hand and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look."
Yu Qiu was reluctant to go, and asked: "He didn't murder and set fire, how can he be convicted..."
"How do you know that he didn't commit a crime? Even if he didn't, haven't you heard that there is no excuse for committing a crime? If you want him to die, just let him die. What kind of morals should you say to this kind of person."
Yu Qiu walked a few steps with him, and murmured in the rustling wind: "No wonder my grandfather told me that..."
Yun Heng: "What kind?"
Yu Qiu didn't answer, just stood where he was, keeping his hands back.Unprepared, Yun Heng was pulled out by her, and he looked at it with displeasure.Yu Qiu tucked his hands into the cloak, moved back half a step, withdrew from under the umbrella, and said in a low voice, "Be more behaved in front of your grandfather."
Thinking that she was in a bad mood, Yun Heng tilted the umbrella towards her accommodatingly, and said, "Okay, let's go."
Following the sound of screams and approaching, Yu Qiu felt goosebumps throbbing, and asked uneasily, "Who is crying for pain?"
Yu Yanzong's voice was already hoarse, and it came through the wind and rain, like a ghost howling, but Yu Qiu couldn't hear it.
"Evil." Yun Heng replied.
The few people in front of the tomb have not made a sound for a long time. In the dead silence, they either fell to the ground, or stood in the drizzle, and there was a figure curled up on the ground moaning mournfully.The fire flickered, illuminating the wet rain on everyone's faces.
Yu Qiu didn't have time to identify who was on the ground. Seeing that the elders were all drenched in the rain, she hurried out from under the umbrella and hurriedly went to help Yu Xingshu, "Daddy..."
Yu Xingshu stood up staggeringly, wiped his face, his lips trembled several times, and then he let out a dry voice from his throat, "Why are you here? Who brought you here? Hold the umbrella so you don't get gonorrhea......"
As he said that, the guard had already put the umbrella on the heads of the two of them.
Yu Yanzong vaguely heard a familiar voice in pain, and suddenly raised his muddy face, not facing Yu Qiu, but crawling towards Yun Heng, "Prince, Your Highness, I did as you said......Please, I don't want to die...You, you give me the antidote..."
"It's not the poison of Gu, there is no antidote for Gu." Yun Heng's voice woke up the embarrassed Xiao Taiwei and others. It is self-evident what happened after the matter has come to this point.
Yun Heng didn't pay attention to those people, and kicked away Yu Yanzong's extended hand, condescendingly, and said coldly: "Didn't you poison Aqiu before? How you poisoned her back then, you can poison yourself."
He calmly spoke words that were tantamount to thunder, and in an instant, whether it was Yu Xingshu or Xiao Taiwei, everyone's eyes were on Yu Qiu.
Yu Xingshu was the closest. When he heard this, his body trembled, he grabbed Yu Qiu's arm suddenly, and said angrily, "He poisoned you? What poison? When did it happen?"
Taiwei Xiao trembled, he raised and lowered his footsteps, but in the end he couldn't walk towards Yu Qiu, he could only stare at Yu Yanzong, wishing he could tear him into pieces.
Xiao Qingning was the most alert, she had already arrived at Yu Qiu's side, and persuaded Yu Xingshu to let go, endured the sadness and shock, and comforted in a soft voice: "Don't be afraid, you tell the matter, the family is here, and I won't talk about it again."People are bullying you."
"That's, that's..." Yu Qiu was confused, she didn't understand how things turned out like this, "that's it" for a long time, but she couldn't say anything.
She looked at Yu Yanzong, and there was only one question in her mind, was Yu Yanzong really the same as her, a person who lived a whole life again?
It's time to ask, but now he is not human, Yu Qiu dare not approach, and there are many people around, she can't speak.
At a loss, Yu Qiu finally understood Yun Heng's words just now, and could tell that Yu Yanzong was reacting to the onset of poison.
He was experiencing the severe pain that Yu Qiu experienced in his previous life.
Yu Qiu thought of the piercing pain, and because of the pain and the unanswerable words, her face turned pale, and she couldn't speak a complete sentence intermittently.
In the eyes of others, she looks fearful like this.
Yu Xingshu was overwhelmed by guilt and regret, stumbled to Yu Yanzong's side, and asked sharply, "Did you really poison Aqiu?"
Yu Yanzong was already delirious, and when he heard Yu Qiu's name connected with the word "poison", he was tortured and gave an affirmative answer.
Yu Xingshu's eyes were about to burst, and he pulled out the long knife at the guard's waist with a "swish", the silver light on the sharp blade shone in the rain, Yu Qiu gasped in shock, and shouted: "Don't..."
People should be damned, she just didn't want Yu Xingshu to get blood on his hands.
The silver light suddenly stopped on Yu Yanzong's head, Yun Heng took the knife from Yu Xingshu's hand and threw it to the guard, saying: "Master Yu should be liquidated for more than this one."
That night was extremely chaotic, and the group reluctantly went down the mountain and stayed at a farmer's house below the mountain.
The wind and rain were miserable and non-stop, and the candles in the house were lit all night.
Others felt remorse and self-blame, or anger and sadness, all kinds of emotions, except for Yu Qiu. After the shock and sentimentality, doubts occupied most of her mind.
She wondered all night, and didn't figure it out until dawn. When in this life was she poisoned by Yu Yanzong?Why is Yun Heng so sure about this?
The most incomprehensible thing for Yu Qiu is that no matter whether Yu Yanzong lived a whole life like her or not, he never detoxified her!
What is he admitting?
Yu Qiu didn't say anything, but there were all the evidence, the perpetrator had confessed, and everyone firmly believed that she had been tortured by poison in this life—except for the victim herself.
She decided to ask Yu Yanzong for clarification, but after dawn, before she had time to make a request, she was told that Yu Yanzong had died of poison.
