Seeing Ding Qinghe's attempt to cover up something that only made it more obvious, Chu Xuan became suspicious.

Ding Qinghe seemed like she was very afraid that Chen Shiyu would know the truth.

Ding Qinghe didn't want Chen Shiyu to know, but she insisted that he know.

Chu Xuan then turned her gaze to Chen Shiyu.

He slowly said, "Many years ago, my father handed Xianweilou over to me to manage and asked me to learn how to do business. It was at Xianweilou that I first saw a servant as young as you. Suddenly, I asked the shopkeeper about it.

I heard the shopkeeper in the building say that you have no father or mother and you work as a servant just for your studies and survival, so I felt sympathy for you.

Therefore, I often sent vegetables and meat to your house for fear that you would starve to death. I also sent you ten taels of silver when you were preparing to take the imperial examination.

I thought you remembered this favor, so you married into the Chu family."

After saying that, Chu Xuan looked at Chen Shiyu's expression again.

But Chen Shiyu looked gloomy and dejected.

Chen Shiyu looked at Chu Xuan in disbelief.

With a hint of uncertainty in his eyes, he asked, "You said that those meats and vegetables, as well as the ten taels of silver, were all given to me by you?"

Chen Shiyu suddenly remembered that many years ago when he was still working at Xianweilou, there was a younger lady who was dressed gorgeously.

Could it be that that person is Chu Xuan...

Without waiting for Chu Xuan to reply, Ding Qinghe on the side nervously hugged Chen Shiyu's arm.

There was a trace of panic in his eyes: "Brother Yu, don't listen to what she says, don't listen."

However, Chen Shiyu pushed Ding Qinghe away.

There was a question in his eyes: "What are you afraid of?"

Jiang Wanqing, who was standing by, guessed something when he saw this.

He couldn't help but laugh, "Chen Shiyu, don't you think that Ding Qinghe can afford the meat and vegetables, as well as the ten taels of silver?

If I remember correctly, Ding Qinghe's family was just an ordinary family before you helped her, right? How could she afford meat and vegetables every day? Not to mention, she would be generous enough to give out ten taels of silver."

Chen Shiyu's expression suddenly stiffened.

Yes, although Ding Qinghe's family was well off at that time, it was still difficult for them to produce meat every day.

But at that time, he was with Ding Qinghe every day, and his mind was filled with Ding Qinghe and studies, so how could he think of so many things?

Now that someone has revealed it, I seem to understand everything.

Chen Shiyu stared at Chu Xuan, as if he was trying to get a definite answer.

Chu Xuan took a deep breath, her eyes full of indifference: "If it were to happen again, I would rather let you starve to death than give you another meal of meat, let alone ten taels of silver. After so many years, you still haven't passed the imperial examination, which shows that you are also a fool!"

After hearing Chu Xuan's words, Chen Shiyu felt as if all his strength had been drained away and he sat on the ground helplessly.

Suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed, but tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Chen Shiyu suddenly stopped smiling.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed Ding Qinghe's neck, and asked viciously: "It's obviously not you who did it, why did you admit it! Why! Why!"

Ding Qinghe was strangled to the point where she could hardly breathe.

There was a pleading look in her eyes: "Yu...Yu...Brother..."

When meeting Ding Qinghe's eyes, Chen Shiyu suddenly let go of Ding Qinghe.

He held his head, showing a look of annoyance.

"What on earth have I done? Ah! Why!"

Chu Xuan found it extremely amusing to see Chen Shiyu and Ding Qinghe fighting each other.

Chu Xuan showed a hint of sarcasm towards Ding Qinghe: "I thought Chen Shiyu loved you so much, but now it seems that you are just picking up my favor and presenting his love."

Ding Qinghe gave Chu Xuan a vicious look and said, "Shut up! Bitch!"

Then, Ding Qinghe looked at Chen Shiyu again.

She said helplessly, "Brother Yu, although I didn't send you those things, the feelings we have had for so many years are not just talk. Have you forgotten that we have always been together since we were young?"

Chen Shiyu raised his head and looked at Ding Qinghe.

He sneered and said, "I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, you always asked me indirectly whether my parents left me a large sum of money.

Now it seems that you approached me because of the meat dishes, thinking that I bought the meat with my own money, so you thought I was rich?

No wonder you always stay when I cook. You love meat so much because your family can't eat meat every day, so you eat meat at my house.

But I was still grateful, because it was thanks to your family that I was able to eat meat... Heh... I am really stupid... I didn't even notice such a simple thing."

Seeing that Chen Shiyu had already guessed the truth of the matter, and Ding Qinghe also knew that he would not have a good ending, he stopped pretending.

He pushed Chen Shiyu hard.

He said sarcastically, "You are just an idiot! Don't you think about it? You have no parents, no one in your family can support you, and if they didn't think your family had some money and you looked good, who would care about you?"

Faced with the exposure of Ding Qinghe's true face, Chen Shiyu sneered with bitterness on his lips.

Then, he turned around and looked at Chu Xuan.

His eyes were filled with guilt: "I'm sorry, Xuan, I owe you. Fortunately, you and my child are still alive..."

Chen Shiyu felt extremely regretful in his heart. It would have been better if he had not recognized the wrong person at the beginning.

He could have had a happy family...

One son, one daughter and one wife.

He missed it...

Facing Chen Shiyu, he bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Chu Xuan, however, was very disdainful.

Pointing the sword at Chen Shiyu: "Can your simple apology offset the hatred between you and me? You should be thankful that my Gui Ning is still alive, otherwise I would definitely dig up your ancestors' graves and whip your corpse to vent my hatred!"

After saying that, Chu Xuan raised the sword and slashed Chen Shiyu's neck with it.

Blood spurted out instantly.

Across the blood curtain, Chen Shiyu gave Chu Xuan a last relieved smile.

It was not until Chen Shiyu fell to the ground that Chu Xuan felt the mottled warmth on her face.

The blood on the ground gradually gathered into a pool until it dyed Chu Xuan's skirt red.

Chu Xuan dropped the sword in her hand.

He picked up the handkerchief and wiped his fingers carefully.

There was a flash of disgust in his eyes: "You are really going to dirty my skirt even after you die, and make me unhappy!"

Ding Qinghe, who was sitting on the ground, was stunned.

He touched the warmth on his face in disbelief.

I raised my hand and saw blood.

She pulled Chen Shiyu's sleeve.

With confusion in his eyes: "Brother Yu..."
