A car accident, our family of three crossed

After working for a day and a night, it was already bright when we returned to the yard where we stayed in the county town.

When Chu Yi arrived at the main house, he saw Chu Rui being helped down the ground by Chu Liu, so he hurriedly strode forward to support the other side.

Disagreeing, he asked, “Why did you go to the ground?”

"Nothing, don't make a fuss."

The two men helped him sit on the chair, and Chu Shisan just came in with breakfast.

"Everyone sit down and eat together!"

"okay!"

The breakfast was served, and as soon as Chu Rui finished speaking, Chu Shisan was the first to sit down, grabbed a piece of cake and put it into his mouth.

Chu Liu rolled his eyes rudely, and Chu Yi slapped him hard on the head.

"No rules."

The master hasn't even started eating yet, but he's so rude.

"When you're out in public, don't talk about the rules. Sit down, everyone!"

The master spoke, and the two sat down as he said.

With the presence of a young man like Chu Shisan who didn't follow the rules, the atmosphere became more cheerful. Chu Rui had a good appetite for a rare time and ate half a bowl of rice porridge more than usual.

After breakfast, Chu Liu tactfully took Chu Shisan away.

After Chu Yi made a cup of tea for Chu Rui, he sat aside and told him about the interesting things that happened in Shangtang Village yesterday.

He knew that talking about the child would make his master happy, and it turned out to be true.

"Big Bad Wolf? Kidnapping children? Hahahaha..."

Chu Yi helplessly endured his master's merciless ridicule. Not to mention his master, even he could not help but laugh and cry when he thought of the scene at that time.

"This Madam Hang is also a remarkable woman!"

Then, he talked about Song Ning's emergency rescue and couldn't help but sigh:

"I think she is not like an ordinary farm girl." There is something implicit in his words.

Chu Rui smiled and nodded, "I've said it before, she's different from ordinary women."

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and waited for Chu Yi to get to the point. He could tell that this was not what Chu Yi really wanted to say.

Although he seems calm on the surface, no one else knows what's going on in his heart.

After a brief silence, Chu Yi took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Mrs. Hang's father was a scholar. When he was young, he went abroad to study. A few years later, he returned home with his wife. His wife's appearance was completely ruined, and she usually wore a veil when she appeared in public."

He paused at this point and looked at Chu Rui deeply.

"This girl's surname is Yao, her name is Chuchu, and she returned home in the autumn of the third year of Wude."

Almost at the moment Chu Yi finished speaking, Chu Rui felt as if his heart was grabbed fiercely by someone, and his hand holding the teacup unconsciously clenched.

"It's impossible to verify anything in just one day, but I found a painting in the secret compartment of the Hang family's study. The person in the painting should be Mrs. Hang's biological mother."

When Chu Rui heard this, a gleam of hope suddenly appeared in his eyes.

However, as he watched Chu Yi take out the scroll from his arms and hand it to him, he lacked the courage to take it.

Chu Yi saw his inner struggle and gently placed the scroll on the table in front of him.

"I'm standing guard outside the door."

He bowed, then turned and left.

Chu Rui looked at the scroll for a long, long time, and finally pushed it open slowly.

As the person in the painting gradually appeared, Chu Rui's eyes unconsciously became red.

Even if the person was wearing a veil with only a pair of eyes showing, he only needed to take a glance to recognize her.

Twenty years ago, the loss of his mother was his biggest demon, and he struggled with it day and night for quite a long time.

He never thought that the person who was believed to be dead by everyone had a child with someone else during the years when he was trapped in the demons of losing his mother...

At this moment, he couldn't describe what he felt in his heart. He couldn't call it resentment, but he felt a sense of being abandoned.

He thought that she was still alive, but did not go back to recognize him, but instead left home and married someone else. For a moment he could not forgive her.

However, on second thought, the situation was complicated back then. Even if she was alive, she would be forced to do so. Those people would never let her return to the capital.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

Chu Yi waited outside the door until noon, but there was no movement from inside, which made him feel a little worried.

He called out tentatively, "Master."

"Come in."

Chu Yi pushed the door open and saw a brazier in front of Chu Rui. Burning in the brazier was the painting he brought back, which was already half burned.

"Master, you..." Chu Yi was very puzzled.

Chu Rui watched expressionlessly as the painting was devoured bit by bit by the flames until it was completely burned out.

He just said, "The person is gone, what's the point of keeping the painting."

He paused, then continued, "Keeping it might bring disaster to their family, so it's better to burn it."

Chu Yi couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard this. His master was right. If this portrait unfortunately fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it would be a trouble for both his master and the Hang family.

"I want to know everything that happened when Mr. Song brought his wife back home. I want to know everything from when he went out to study. Only you and I are allowed to know this."

"Yes."

"You go down first, get enough rest, and set off early tomorrow morning."

"Subordinates take orders!"

-

Xiaoquan Village.

Zhang Youcai's family was extremely lively this morning, with the entire courtyard filled with curses.

This morning, several people got up and applied the medicine as usual. However, after only a quarter of an hour, they began to feel uncomfortable. The wounds that had been applied with the medicine were itchy and painful.

At first I thought it was the effect of the medicine, but unexpectedly the itching and pain became more and more intense. I couldn't scratch it, and I didn't know whether to scratch it or not. It was really painful.

A barefoot doctor from the village was invited to take a look, and it was discovered that the medicine had been tampered with.

The Zhang family was in an uproar and wanted to find out the villain behind the incident. Zhang Cuiju and her daughter became the primary suspects.

No matter how much Zhang Cuiju denied it, it was of no avail. Everyone agreed that it was the mother and daughter who did it.

Not to mention how the excitement at the Zhang family in Xiaoquan Village ended, Shangtang Village was also quite lively today.

Under the big tree at the entrance of the village, everyone was talking about the rumor that the Hang Family Ancestral Hall was haunted last night.

But in just one morning, the news had spread like wildfire.

Some people believed it to be true, while others thought that Hang's mother was playing tricks on them.

Naturally, this matter also reached the ears of Hang Shuheng's family.

At this moment, Song Ning was preparing lunch in the kitchen. She asked Hang Shuheng, "Is it true that the ancestral hall is haunted?"

Hang Shuheng threw a piece of firewood into the stove, raised his head and looked at her teasingly: "You are a person with higher education, but you also believe in such ghost stories?"

After saying that, he suddenly realized something and was stunned for a moment.

Song Ning said: "Then please ask Mr. Hang, who has also received higher education, to explain from a scientific perspective why we are here now?"

Hang Shuheng was speechless for a moment. There was really no way to explain it clearly.

Song Ning pointed at him, then at himself, and continued, "The ghosts that are haunting this village are us two ghosts! Such a weird thing has happened to us, what else is impossible?"

"Tell me, if the villagers find out that we are not the original couple, will they really burn us to death?"
