Chapter 97 Going to Hongshan Temple
Author: Bai Xia
At night, He Jinwen's face was covered with blood, and she was still holding her child and pacing in the room.
Lu Guanting's injuries have not yet healed, but her children ignored them and cried endlessly - they seemed to enjoy seeing He Jinwen running around. The more tired she was, the more peacefully he slept.
The room was small, and she walked around, only lingering at the place where his second son hanged himself. Gradually, when He Jinwen almost bled to death, the child finally calmed down again.
He was always like this. When she was about to collapse, he would give her the strength to breathe.
After the child calmed down, He Jinwen's mood failed to calm down. She suddenly spoke and asked Xuemei beside her: "When did you start following adults?"
Xuemei was sent to Lu Zhuming after she started crying day and night. She had never seen her before. She didn't know when she entered the Lu Mansion.
Xuemei thought for a moment and said, "Strictly speaking, Master Lu and I grew up together."
"Growing up together?" He Jinwen exclaimed.
Xuemei nodded and lit a candle. Holding the candle flame, she placed it on the edge of the table, and the surrounding area became brighter.
Xuemei's face, which is neither good-looking nor ugly, becomes even more real.
However, the strange thing is that He Jinwen found that she still couldn't remember Xuemei's appearance.
Even if you see it clearly now, you will forget it after a while.
But He Jinwen didn't think too much and just asked her: "What's the relationship between you and Guan Ting?" They grew up together. In addition to having children at home, they were child brides, but Xuemei was nothing like her.
"Madam, please don't misunderstand me. What I mean is that we grew up in the same slum. Later Mr. Lu rose to prominence, so he took us here and gave us something to eat."
"I see."
He Jinwen just breathed a sigh of relief and showed a look of surprise, but Xuemei's next words made her heart pick up in her throat again: "Master Lu's late wife Chen Qiubi also lived in Liujinfang, and the three of us grew up together.
.She and I... can be considered very close."
"In your opinion, does Chen Qiubi have an affair with others?" He Jinwen asked again.
Xuemei shook her head, without any ambiguity at all, and said straightly: "No."
"So, she was wrongly accused?"
Xuemei nodded: "She is respectful, worshipful, considerate and caring to her husband. She cares and cherishes her children and fulfills the obligations and responsibilities of a mother. She is deeply affectionate and friendly to her friends and will not alienate her because of her status and family background.
.She is a person with no blemishes in either character or appearance, and it is absolutely impossible for her to have an affair with others."
Hearing this, He Jinwen probably understood the purpose of Xuemei following her.
She was afraid that she had long wanted to tell herself that Lu Guanting had a problem, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. She could only wait until she found out and asked her, then she would tell her everything.
As for why Chen Qiubi ended up having an affair with someone else and was later raped, the answer is already clear.
"Because of you, she had no choice but to die." Xuemei said calmly, telling the answer that He Jinwen had already guessed.
Three years ago, because her father had taken a liking to Lu Guanting and felt that he was a talent, he heard that his wife was a wretched wife and had no power in the court, so he intended to marry his daughter off.
But how can the daughter of a minister marry someone else to fill a house? How can he make a wedding dress for someone else with all his thoughts?
So after a little digging, Lu Guanting understood what to do. So he wanted to abandon Chen Qiubi. But Chen Qiubi had shared hardships with him and already had children, so how could she be willing to leave?
Not leaving? Lu Guanting was squinted by the wealth, so he could only find an unforgivable excuse and beat her to death in public. After her death, her body was not allowed to be buried, but was sunk to the bottom of the Zisha River.
Now, although He Jinwen was not the culprit who murdered Chen Qiubi, she was the trigger that forced Chen Qiubi to death. And the two children born to Chen Qiubi were not the result of an affair with others, but were the real blood of Lu Guanting. They were like this
Under her own eyes, she was mistreated and hanged herself to death. She had never been involved in these things, but they were all related to her.
Nowadays, strange things happen frequently in the Lu Mansion, and I am afraid that they are related to Chen Qiubi, mother and son.
But she didn't even have the attitude to blame.
Chen Qiubi is the victim. Her children are a hundred times, a thousand times more miserable than her own. She, Vance, cannot escape the blame.
He Jinwen suddenly felt that the beam above her head was even colder and colder.
"There are other remedies." Xuemei added.
“How to remedy this?”
"Expose Lu Guanting and draw a clear line with him. Then the evil he has done will not be repaid to you."
"..."
He Jinwen hesitated.
"What are you still hesitating about such a man? Do you still dare to stay by his side?" Under the flickering candlelight, Xuemei's face flickered. It was like a voice from hell.
"I dare not. But what else can I do?" He Jinwen shook her head repeatedly, regretting it.
Now she is trapped here, isolated and helpless, and she has to wait until her father discovers something strange about her. Who knows, how long will it take until the year of the monkey? By then, will she still be alive?
"I can help you escape." Xuemei said.
Hearing this, He Jinwen seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and asked quickly: "How to escape?"
"This is originally a small courtyard independent of the Lu Mansion. As long as I lead the guards at the door away, you can go out through the back door. After you go out, find He Xing from Jiufangliao and he will help you."
Xuemei had a way out for her with every word and sentence. As long as she did what Xuemei said, found He Xing, exposed Lu Guanting, and ruined his reputation, she could regain her freedom.
She also believes that every wrongdoer has his own debtor, and Chen Qiubi and her second son will never embarrass her until then.
But when the matter came to an end, He Jinwen thought for a moment and shook her head: "If Lawrence Lu is ruined, my child and I will have no future."
"Does it mean that you have a future if you stay here? This child is obviously troubled. Asking for help from Jiufangliao is the fundamental thing. Do you hope that in the future you will not be able to sleep peacefully day and night? Your child will be unable to sleep day and night."
Are you all crying?"
He Jinwen was finally convinced.
"Okay, I listen to you and I'll go."
Early in the morning is when people are most sleepy. He Jinwen had just given birth not long ago and couldn't rest for days, so she didn't have the strength to struggle. Later, she was injured by Lu Guanting, so she didn't need anyone to look after her. There were only two guards in the small courtyard.
Guard at the door.
Xuemei didn't know what method she used. When she went out, the two guards were already lying on the ground, as if they were asleep.
"Remember, keep going forward, turn left when you see the road, turn right at the sixth alley, go straight forward, and go out of the city gate. Go to Hongshan Temple and look for He Xing." This was the path Xuemei pointed out to her.
"Aren't you going?" He Jinwen asked.
Xuemei shook her head and said, "I have other things to do."
