"No, don't kill him." Chen Qiuyue held down Chen Lin's sword and said softly, "Don't kill any more people in the Chen family."
"Why? The life and death of the Chen family is none of my business." Chen Lin said calmly.
"They have repented a lot. No one will bully us, mother and son. We don't owe them anything, and they don't owe us anything. Stop killing people, okay?" Chen Qiuyue looked at Chen with tearful eyes.
Lin seemed to be pleading. No matter how much the Chen family treats mother and son, it is still their home. The head of the family, Chen Tingnan, is also her father. With moral ethics in mind, such rebellious things must never be done.
of.
"Yes, mother, I listen to you." Chen Lin's stiff expression softened, and he finally put away the big knife in his hand.
"Hey crazy woman, who are you talking to?" With a bang, the door was opened, and a Chen family guard broke in angrily from outside.
Saying that he is a guard of the Chen family does not actually represent the attitude of the Chen family. After Chen Lin left, Chen Tingnan actually felt regretful in his heart. He was even more afraid of Chen Lin's progress, so he did not dare to do so from that time on.
No matter what you do to your daughter, there is no use regretting it now that it is a foregone conclusion, it is better to let nature take its course.
But the only difference is the Chen family's guards.
Not to mention that Chen Lin killed several of their guard captains at the beginning, but now Chen Yun's death will naturally be blamed on Chen Lin. The reason is very simple. If it weren't for Chen Lin, the Chen family would not have been killed by the Murong family so quickly.
Even if they were targeted, they would not kill Chen Yun. As Chen Yun's father, Chen Ruofeng would naturally put all his hatred on Chen Qiuyue. Soon all the guards of the Chen family were not polite to Chen Qiuyue.
"No, it's nothing." Chen Qiuyue smiled bitterly, her hands hanging in front of her, her eyes glancing at the curtains behind her from time to time, as if she was afraid that her son would be discovered by the Chen family. After all, the entire Qingcheng was now looking for Chen Lin.
!
"Nothing? I think you're just crazy. You're mumbling something in the middle of the night every day. Your son is already dead, and you're still screaming in the middle of the night." The guard bombarded Chen Qiuyue with foul words, not giving her a chance to breathe.
, but Chen Qiuyue did not dare to reply, lowering her head and listening.
As long as she survives tonight, she can leave here with her son. As long as she survives it!
But she could bear it, but Chen Lin couldn't. Standing behind the curtain, his face became ferocious, the corners of his mouth were twitching, his chest was heaving, and his fingers were already tightly clasped on the handle of the knife.
"If you curse again, you will die!" Although Chen Qiuyue tried her best to keep him from coming out, he still couldn't hold it in anymore. He moved his steps, and when he was about to come out, he heard another voice.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" The voice was very old and cold. It was said by an elder of the Chen family.
The elder was half a century old, and standing at the door gave people a solemn feeling, so when the guard saw him, he stopped cursing.
"Butler, why are you here?" the guard said with a dry smile.
The person who came was none other than Chen Xu, the steward of Chen Family Medicine Hall!
Although Chen Xu is old, he is also very shrewd and can see everything accurately with his small eyes, so he was assigned to work in the medicine hall. However, because of this, Chen Qiuyue was taken care of in the medicine hall, so
In the eyes of Chen Qiuyue and Chen Lin, he is the only person in the Chen family that they respect.
"Huh, the shouting at night can be heard from all over the place." Chen Xu snorted coldly. He put his hands behind his back and didn't move. However, when he looked at the guard, his eyes showed a bit of strange light and solemnity.
The pressure immediately made the guard's expression pale, and he immediately bowed and said: "Sorry for disturbing you."
As soon as his face turned red, the guard rushed out without daring to look back.
Although Chen Xu is just the steward of a medicine hall in the Chen family, his cultivation is not weak. In addition, he is directly under the jurisdiction of the family head, so even a small guard camp like him does not dare to provoke him.
"Old Chen." After seeing the guard leaving, Chen Lin finally couldn't hold back her tears, her eyes turned slightly red, her legs went weak, and she collapsed directly to the ground. After enduring it for so many years, her broken body could no longer be treated anymore.
I can't withstand the blow anymore.
"Mom." Before Chen Xu could move, Chen Lin stepped out from behind the curtain and held Chen Qiuyue in his arms.
"Chen Lin! Why are you here?" Chen Xu was startled. He was a little surprised. He was also planning to come over tonight to see Chen Qiuyue. During the day, this place was always under the supervision of people from the guard camp, so it was not convenient. However,
What he didn't expect was that Chen Lin would be so bold and dare to show up at the Chen family. Everyone in Qingcheng was looking for him!
"Uncle Chen, please help me find a place to stay for my mother." Chen Lin said. He still trusts Chen Xu. Moreover, it is late tonight and the entire Qingcheng is heavily guarded. Let alone him, even if he has
Even with such great abilities, it would be difficult to escape, let alone with Chen Qiuyue.
"Well, I'll make arrangements for you right away." Chen Xu opened the way in front, and he was very skillful. The three of them walked out of Chen's house along the tunnel on the other side of the rockery, and no one was discovered among them.
This passage had to be dug just right. Even Chen Lin's several escapes were all thanks to him. They didn't know who dug it, but since someone was convenient for them, Chen Lin didn't pursue it too much.
Because it was a dark night and the moonlight was very dim, Chen Lin hugged Chen Qiuyue and ran out of Chen's house with Chen Xu one behind the other.
Of course, they did not dare to go out directly to Qingcheng. On the contrary, although the vigilance was not deep at night, Qingcheng's geographical location was relatively remote and covered by dense forests on all sides, which made it more dangerous at night. This is why Chen Lin asked Chen Xu for help.
Another reason.
With help from people in the city, it is naturally much better than doing it yourself!
The wind was high in the dark night, and the cold wind kept blowing over the entire Chen family, making the entire mansion seem chilly.
Under the cold moonlight, Chen Tingnan's old face was expressionless. Compared with a few months ago, he looked much older now, without the majesty he had back then. Even the servants standing behind him,
There is no longer the sense of oppression that I had before.
"Father, it's so late." Behind Chen Tingnan, Chen Ruofeng was still respectful.
Logically speaking, late at night is also the quietest time for the entire Chen family, but Chen Tingnan still couldn't sleep, not even a little tired, and looked at the dark moon with a calm heart, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.
"I know, you go to sleep first." Chen Tingnan sat down a little tiredly, as if every movement he made required a lot of effort, and it seemed that he no longer wanted to work hard to move, and just wanted to be calm like this.
Lying on the ground, it would be nice to take one more look at the night sky and breathe in the fresh air of the Chen family's past.
"I'm still here to accompany my father." Chen Ruofeng said.
"Aren't you keeping watch tonight?" Chen Tingnan twisted his stiff neck, looked sideways at Chen Ruofeng, and then looked at the black and white portrait behind him.
Chen Yun, the number one genius of the Chen family, died like this, and his heart sank to the lowest point at that moment.
The Chen family has lived in Qingcheng for decades. Since his father founded it, it has never declined. Although there have been several troughs, it has never been so miserable.
Chen Yun's death is not only the sorrow of the father and grandfather, but also the nightmare of the entire Chen family, because he symbolizes the Murong family's first revenge on the Chen family!
And this first revenge came from Chen Lin!
So every time he heard the news that his child had died, Chen Ruofeng had a feeling of gritting his teeth. The resentment almost came from his heart.
If it hadn't been for Chen Lin, maybe the two families wouldn't have had a grudge fifteen years ago, maybe the Murong family wouldn't have pointed the finger at the Chen family now, and maybe nothing like what happened at the medicine shop wouldn't have happened!
"Father." Chen Ruofeng gritted his teeth, his old face wrinkled together, the expression on his face became very stiff, and his chest kept heaving. His clenched fists made a gurgling sound, which echoed clearly throughout the mourning hall.
"Do you still hate him?" Chen Tingnan's expression did not change at all and remained very calm.
"Hate, so as long as I catch him, I will kill this little beast myself." Chen Ruofeng gritted his teeth and said.
"We owe them a lot, mother and son." Unexpectedly, Chen Tingnan sighed and closed his eyes tightly. He was not asleep, but just didn't want to look at the Chen family anymore. Now he already knew that he had
It's so wrong.
"Owe? We don't owe them, it's them! If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be here now..." Chen Ruofeng said angrily and loudly. The resentment had made him forget that the person in front of him was his father, the head of this family!
"Shut up!" Before Chen Ruofeng could finish speaking, Chen Tingnan had already burst out. However, he still didn't move or open his eyes, but looked very peaceful, "I'm tired, you go to the wake."
Chen Ruofeng was startled. Although he was angry in his heart, he gritted his teeth and did not refute. Instead, he said yes and went to the mourning hall to sit next to his son's body.
However, when Chen Ruofeng left, he glanced sideways at Chen Tingnan behind him from time to time. His eyes became a little vicious and filled with murderous intent: "Let him go?"
In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of dawn shone in the mourning hall, filling the cold hall with a touch of warmth, Chenting Nanfang slowly opened his eyes.
He thought about it all night and didn't sleep all night, so he never returned to his room. But at this moment, a servant suddenly bumped into the door and ran in.
"Master, master!" The man shouted several times and then tripped over the high threshold and fell to the ground, almost unable to get up.
"What's wrong?" Chen Tingnan said calmly.
"Something happened!" The servant swallowed a mouthful of saliva and then shouted out.
