Compared with when he came, Xiao Chen's mood was quite complicated.
Chen Ze said that Xu Honghui did everything voluntarily, including giving her life, to prevent him from taking revenge.
Even later, Xu Honghui was buried in the back hill of the Xiao family. From the perspective of Chen Ze and even Xu Honghui's family, it was the highest honor.
If he didn't die in the Xiao family, how could he have this honor?
Hearing what Chen Ze said, Xiao Chen felt complicated, while Bai Ye's eyes widened.
How could people here have such thoughts?
He felt terrible. Was this the control the Guwu family had over them?
I'm afraid that the Xiao family has the highest belief in their hearts. Just like in ancient times, dying for the royal family is the highest honor!
Xiao Yu, Hao Jian, and Sun Wugong thought it was quite normal. After all, they had been staying in this environment.
As for Li Hanhou, he didn't care about it at all, it wasn't even out of his head.
"Holy shit!"
After leaving Chen's house, Bai Ye couldn't help but scream.
"What's going on, I can't accept."
"There is nothing unacceptable. All of them feel that their lives are given by the Xiao family, and everything is given by the Xiao family. It is their honor to die for the Xiao family."
Sun Wugong said to Bai Ye.
"Don't you have such a person in your Bai family?"
Hearing Sun Wugong's words, Bai Ye's heart moved, and he thought of the Bai family's secret guards.
Most, or even all, of the Bai family's secret guards probably think the same way.
The Bai family has given them everything, and they are willing to die for the Bai family!
I even feel that this is an honor!
Thinking of this, Bai Ye smiled bitterly. It turned out that the Bai family also had things that he couldn't accept.
It's just...he never realized it before.
"Brother, Aunt Xu's family all thinks this way, do you still want to avenge her?"
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Kill for life."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
"No matter what Chen Ze thinks, Aunt Xu will die for me after all. Even if she is willing, I will give her an explanation."
"Um."
Xiao Yu nodded.
"Seventh Uncle seems to have taken good care of the Chen family these years."
Xiao Chen turned around and looked in the direction of the Chen family, his eyes were quite complicated.
In fact, it's not just Bai Ye who can't accept it. He has been outside for many years and his thoughts have changed a long time ago. There are some things that he can't accept either.
"Let's go, let's walk around the town casually."
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze, tried his best not to think about this matter, and walked around casually.
At noon, he came to the largest restaurant in the town.
At this time, there were already many people in front of the restaurant, led by the old man, who were all smiling and talking about something.
"The eldest young master is here."
Someone saw Xiao Chen and shouted.
Hearing the commotion, everyone stepped forward to greet Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded, responded one by one, and led them into the restaurant.
The restaurant had also received the news a long time ago and specially set aside the third floor to entertain Xiao Chen and others.
Soon, the food and wine arrived.
"Here, let me toast you all."
Xiao Chen stood up, picked up the wine glass, and glanced at the familiar faces.
When the old men saw Xiao Chen getting up, they also stood up quickly.
"Here, cheers."
Xiao Chen drank it all in one gulp. This cup was not only a tribute to them, but also to the past.
Normally, he thought he had forgotten his childhood, but after he came back, especially seeing these familiar people, the scenes from the past became particularly clear again.
It turned out that he had not forgotten everything, but had hidden it deep in his heart.
"Young Master, when you come back this time, won't you leave?"
After sitting down, the old man asked cautiously.
"Let's go, we'll leave after taking care of some things."
Xiao Chen smiled and said.
"Young Master, you haven't been back for so many years. Even if you have to leave, you have to stay for a while, right?"
The old man looked at Xiao Chen.
"Or stay here. Outside...it's not as good as here."
After hearing the old man's words, Bai Ye glanced at him.
In fact, at this time, he couldn't tell whether the outside world or here was better.
The outside world is exciting and cruel. It's simple here, but... it's a little boring after all.
Living here all your life is like sitting in a well. When you raise your head, all you see is the Xiao family.
He thought about it again, China is so big, not to mention the small town of Xiao's family, there are actually too many remote areas, and the people there live like this.
They have never seen the outside world, and are even afraid of the outside world...isolated from the world.
But Bai Ye felt that if they were allowed to see the outside world, they might not be willing to live like this.
"Haha, Uncle Wang, I will come back often in the future."
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and said with a smile.
"Okay, that's good."
The old man nodded.
After the third round of drinking, the atmosphere became better. Perhaps seeing that Xiao Chen had no airs, everyone relaxed a little.
"Uncle Wang, I just went to Chen's house."
Xiao Chen thought of something and said to the old man.
"Chen's family? Oh, Chen Ze's family? The woman who used to be in his family was the eldest master's nanny."
The old man thought for a while and then remembered.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Chen Ze got married again. Later, Master Qi went to the Chen family and buried Xu Honghui (is that her name?) on Xiaoshan Mountain."
The old man spoke of this with a bit of envy.
"Yes, Aunt Xu's tomb is in the hill behind the Xiao family. I went to pay homage to her."
Xiao Chen nodded.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the old man became even more envious. What an honor it would be to have the eldest son of the Xiao family worship him after he died.
Xiao Chen saw the old man's expression and smiled bitterly.
Maybe people in the outside world can't accept his ideas, but people here do.
"I want to avenge Aunt Xu, but Chen Ze asked me not to take revenge..."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said.
"Revenge? Oh, I heard that she died in an accident, right?"
The old man was startled, then nodded.
"So many years have passed, and a dead person cannot be resurrected... She died, but she was buried in Xiaoshan. That is what she cultivated in several lifetimes."
"No, Uncle Wang, she was poisoned to death. Don't we need to avenge her?"
Bai Ye couldn't help it anymore and spoke.
"Master Bai, although I don't know what happened, if it were me, I would be buried in Xiaoshan after my death."
The old man said to Bai Ye.
"..."
Hearing the old man's words, Bai Ye was stunned. Is there something wrong with this...is there something wrong with his brain?
Unimaginable and unacceptable!
Ignorance?
Or what?
He didn’t even know how to describe it!
"When she died, there was news that it was because of the eldest young master?"
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Well, someone in the Xiao family wanted to poison me, and Aunt Xu died for me."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"That's it. It's her honor to die for the eldest young master... Her mother also passed away a few years ago. When she was alive, she often said that she, my daughter, had done such a great thing in her life!
Later, Master Qi buried her in Xiaoshan, and her mother even said that she never thought it would be a great honor to raise a daughter and be buried in the Xiao family."
The old man said to Xiao Chen.
"Besides, the Xiao family didn't treat her badly, let alone her mother and the Chen family. It was the Xiao family who paid for the Chen family to repair the house... The seventh master personally came to the town to explain that he would have his mother serve her till her old age."
"..."
Bai Ye didn't say anything anymore. He felt it was a bit absurd. Before, he wouldn't have dared to think about it.
Now, it happened before his eyes.
Xiao Chen was silent for a long time. Does not only Chen Ze but also Aunt Xu's mother feel the same way?
After thinking about it, he could still think of Aunt Xu's mother, who was also a very nice old lady.
"Young master, please listen to the old man's advice and don't do anything for her, let alone seek revenge for her..."
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and said seriously.
"Come, Uncle Wang, let's drink."
Xiao Chen smiled, didn't say anything more, picked up the wine glass, and clinked the glasses with the old man.
There are some things he must do.
However, his mood has changed from before.
At the same time, Xiao Yi also received the news.
"He's drinking with acquaintances from town?"
Xiao Yi looked a little strange and asked.
"yes."
The person reporting the report nodded.
"Okay, you go down first."
Xiao Yi waved his hand and then looked at Xiao Sheng opposite.
"He used to go to town a lot?"
"Um."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"He is quite familiar with some people in the town."
"hehe."
Xiao Yi smiled.
"I really didn't expect that the dignified eldest son of the Xiao family would run to the town...but this is also a good thing."
Xiao Sheng didn't say anything. He had just arrived, and he didn't know what Xiao Yi was looking for.
"This kid doesn't have much sense of belonging to the Xiao family. Now, it is possible for him to return to the Xiao family... They said before that Xiao Chen went to that nanny's house."
When Xiao Yi said this, his voice became a little colder.
"Did you investigate when Xu Honghui was poisoned?"
"Investigated."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"After all... the murderer wants to kill Xiao Chen."
"I think you will also investigate it. Do you have any clues?"
Xiao Yi asked.
"There are four targets, but no evidence."
Xiao Sheng replied.
"who?"
Xiao Yi was refreshed and it was good to have a goal.
"Xiao Wei, Xiao Yunhong, Xiao Lian, and Xiao Lei."
Xiao Sheng said in a deep voice.
"Xiao Lei?"
Xiao Yi seemed a little unfamiliar with this name.
"Well, I'm the same generation as Xiao, and I haven't been at the Xiao family recently..."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"Where did he go? Can he be found?"
Xiao Yi frowned.
"Yes, he is one of the people placed outside by the Xiao family to handle some matters."
Xiao Sheng nodded and said.
"Let him come back. If there is any suspicion, come back first... Xiao Yunhong and Xiao Lian, if they are really them, they will be in trouble."
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.
"If we told that boy that it was Xiao Yunhong or Xiao Lian who poisoned us, do you think he would believe it? He must think that we are blaming the dead person for the incident."
"Um."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"And Xiao Wei..."
Xiao Yi thought of Xiao Wei and frowned.
"Do you think it could be him?"
"There is a strong suspicion."
Xiao Sheng thought for a while and said.
"Wait a minute, if you don't come to me, then take control first and then talk about it... You must give that boy an explanation for this matter!"
