Xu Yanbang punched the door frame of Yuedong door hard, and his fists as big as vinegar were immediately covered with blood.

An Zichang clicked his tongue, "I don't care about you. You can do whatever you want. However," he paused, looked in the direction of Du Hengshuang, and said with admiration: "That sister is quite interesting..."

Xu Yanbang did not answer An Zichang's question, but changed the subject and asked him: "How did the investigation go when my elder brother and I asked you to investigate last time?"

An Zichang stopped his smile and said seriously: "Go and talk in your room. This is not the place to talk."

Xu Yanbang took An Zichang to the courtyard where he lived. He came to the main room and opened the door wide to talk. It was clear who was moving around in the courtyard.

An Zichang whispered: "From the doctor who diagnosed your mother's pulse, to the shopkeeper and assistant at the drug store, and later the coffin woman who was responsible for your mother's burial, I checked them all one by one. There is nothing suspicious. - Your mother is not.

She was killed. She committed suicide."

Xu Yanbang's brows relaxed, then tightened again immediately, "Are they telling the truth?"

An Zichang squeezed his hands loudly and said to Xu Yanbang: "Little cousin, do you want to have a taste of my cousin's methods? Let's see if you can tell the truth?"

Xu Yanbang waved his hands hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I believe it. However, my elder brother must believe it. He always thought that it was my father who was greedy for sex and killed my mother, so...that

A woman comes in."

An Zi often spread his hands, with a look of helplessness on his face, "It's not surprising that my father would do such a thing. But not every man would do such a thing, okay? Besides, your mother is the princess of Dazhou. Speaking of which,

She is lifeless and has little to do with me."

Xu Yanbang also sighed, thought about it for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "I can't blame you for this. My mother was the Princess of Dazhou and the Emperor of Dazhou, but she died in your hands..."

An Zichang smiled slightly and touched his chin. He did not refute, but said to Xu Yanbang: "So, you believe the results of my investigation. If your mother was really killed by your father and that woman, I will be my first

I'll help you get revenge.

He said, your father married a merchant's widow, and he waited three years before marrying her. It's not like he wanted to kill your mother right away so that he could get rich and marry another high-ranking family member." When he said the last word, his voice was already full of emotion.

With a bit of deep-seated coldness.

Xu Yanbang patted An Zichang on the shoulder, not knowing how to comfort him.

An Zichang's mother was the aunt of Xu Yanbang and Xu Yanhui. Unfortunately, she passed away five years ago.

"Don't talk about me anymore. You can go and think about how to tell your elder brother. I'm going back to my hometown." An Zichang said goodbye with a smile.

Xu Yanbang said hurriedly: "You should live in our house. Your house is empty, and it is said to be haunted. Don't you feel panicked?"

An Zi often laughed loudly, "The ghosts are afraid of me, what ghost am I afraid of!"

Xu Yanbang couldn't help but laugh when he thought of An Zichang's nickname "Ghost Sees Sorrow".

But when An Zichang stopped laughing, he nodded and said: "But you are right. I should move to your house and live with my relatives. Let's make love."

Xu Yanbang was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "You go back and clean up. I'll go tell dad and quickly clean up a yard with you in the outer courtyard and come out."

An Zi often left with a smile, and soon ordered his maid to pack his things and move to Xu Shao's Sima Mansion.

In the evening, Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue went to pay their respects to Fang Wu Niang.

Fang Wu Niang said a few words to Du Hengxue in a pleasant manner, then let her go first, leaving Du Hengshuang alone to talk.

Du Hengxue was a little worried and secretly looked back several times along the way. She saw her sister Du Hengshuang standing in front of her mother with her head lowered. Her mother seemed to be lecturing her. She couldn't help but think of what happened during the day. Her heart tightened and she said to her maid: "Second,

Where is the young master? Can you take me to see him?"

The maid hesitated and said: "The second young master lives in the outer courtyard. Now he is holding the lamp. The second door has been locked and cannot get out."

Du Hengxue had no choice but to give up, looked at the stars in the sky, and stood on the corridor, planning to wait for Du Hengshuang to return to the embroidery building.

In Fang Wu Niang's room, she was saying to Du Hengshuang earnestly: "Shuang'er, I know you love your sister, but you have to have a sense of proportion. Do you know who An Zichang is? How dare you hurt him! You know, I

When I heard the news today, I was so frightened that I almost knelt down. I just wanted to protect you.

I am willing to do whatever fate asks me to do. Fortunately, the master said that An Zichang gave him some face and didn't take it to heart, so I breathed a sigh of relief. However, the master said that this kind of thing can't happen again in the future.

You can only avoid An Zichang and don't cause trouble again. If something happens again, even I won't be able to protect you."

Du Hengshuang held the rosette on her skirt with both hands and rubbed it back and forth. She lowered her head. Although she didn't speak, Fang Wuniang could feel the dissatisfaction all over her body.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you that I know about it. Do you know what An Zichang has done?"

Du Hengshuang shook his head, "How could I know if my mother didn't tell me."

Fang Wu Niang's voice lowered, "Five years ago, Emperor Dezhen of the Great Zhou Dynasty passed away, did you know?"

Du Hengshuang nodded, "The whole city of Luoyang is mourning in vain, of course I know."

"This Emperor Dezhen was killed by An Zichang himself. He was a regicide! How dare you offend him? You even hurt him!" Fang Wu Niang looked at Du Hengshuang, as if she was looking at an unknown person.

The same people.

Du Hengshuang was also a little panicked, "Ah? Really? Why did he kill the king? This...this..." She wanted to say that the crime of killing the nine tribes was the crime, but the Great Zhou Dynasty had existed in name only eight years ago. The rebel armies in various places were divided.

With all the heroes coming together, this Great Zhou Dynasty is no longer the Great Zhou Dynasty eight years ago.

After the death of Emperor Dezhen, the Great Zhou Dynasty officially fell into pieces.

The Duke of Qi, Bo Shicai, proclaimed himself the King of Qi. He recruited more capable people and strangers, and was constantly recruiting the seventy-two groups of rebels.

Seeing that Du Hengshuang was a little scared, Fang Wu Niang pulled her to sit next to her and whispered in her ear: "You want to know why?"

Du Hengshuang nodded repeatedly.

"That's what the master told me. An Zichang's mother is the master's biological sister, and she is also a poor person. She has been married to the Marquis of Anguo for more than ten years, raised children, served her parents-in-law, and managed the Marquis of Anguo's house.

Everything went well. However, Marquis An Guo was a romantic man and loved to flirt with women. He had more than a dozen concubines in the house and even had concubines outside the house. Later,

He actually hooked up with the princess of Dazhou. The princess was a widowed person and couldn't bear the loneliness. She didn't want to marry again, but she couldn't stand the suave and charming Marquis An Guo, so he actually let the princess marry him only. Emperor Dezhen was very fond of the princess.

He agreed to grant her a marriage. In order to marry the princess as soon as possible, Marquis An Guo poisoned his wife and killed her."

Du Hengshuang let out a low cry, "How could this be? If he wants to marry another, he can just divorce his wife. Why would he take someone's life?"

Fang Wu Niang smiled bitterly and said: "Divorce your wife, do you think our master will agree to it? It is not easy to divorce your wife without committing seven crimes. Besides, if you divorce your wife in order to marry the princess, where will the princess' face be put?"

Du Hengshuang murmured dissatisfiedly: "Then if you poison someone to death, the princess will gain face? - If you let people know, you won't lose face, but you will be sent to prison!"

"You kid, how do you know how to get into trouble? He poisoned his wife to death, of course he thought that no one would know about it. Everyone also thought that Mrs. An Guohou died of illness. Only her son, An Zichang,

, check it out or not

Yes, in anger, he gathered troops and horses, rushed directly into Emperor Dezhen's palace, and beheaded Emperor Dezhen with his sword. At the same time, he also killed all the members of the Zhou royal family who followed Emperor Dezhen in the palace, including

The widowed princess who had an affair with her father."

Du Hengshuang raised his head in surprise and couldn't help but praise: "I'm so happy with my grudges. I didn't expect An Zichang to be a good guy."

"What's so good?!" Fang Wu Niang was annoyed, "Why don't you know the difference between right and wrong! This Anzi often killed all the members of the Zhou royal family in the palace, and then returned home and killed all his own family members.

, including his father, his father’s concubines, and his concubine brothers and sisters, all died under his sword!”

Du Hengshuang took a breath, "That's too much."

Fang Wu Niang nodded happily: I finally listened.

"It's okay to kill his father, but everyone else has suffered the same fate." Du Hengshuang said sadly, and Fang Wu Niang's face, which had just relaxed, darkened by half.

"What does it mean to just kill his father?! - Killing his father and killing his king means he is an unfaithful and unfilial person. We can't afford to offend such a person, but we can afford to hide from him. Don't make me angry, listen.

No?" Fang Wu Niang had no choice but to directly order Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang recalled what An Zi often said at Jialan Temple, "...I also want to have an heir to the An family..." It turned out to be this.

"Did you hear that?!" Fang Wuniang wanted to hold Du Hengshuang's ears to make her obey. This eldest daughter is becoming more and more troublesome. It's better to get her married as soon as possible...

This thought flashed through Fang Wu Niang's mind, and she quickly denied it. Her daughter is only fourteen years old, so she cannot marry so early. No matter how angry she is, she is still her biological daughter. If she doesn't love her, who else will love her?

?

Fang Wuniang couldn't help but think of Du Xiancheng, who loved Du Hengshuang the most, and couldn't help but feel nervous.

Du Hengshuang glanced at Fang Wu Niang, stood up, curtsied and left.

When Du Hengshuang brought her maid to the Zhaoshou Veranda, she saw Du Hengxue and her maid waiting there for her, and said with a smile: "It's October, it's cold at night, don't freeze."

The two sisters talked and laughed and walked forward together.

Not far ahead, a small white animal flashed past and rushed towards them.

Du Hengshuang stopped quietly.

A fluffy little white fox got under her skirt and shivered.

Several dog barks followed, and it was the pit bull raised by Xu Shao's concubine, the Second Miss, chasing something unknown.
