Rebirth of the Return of Chu

Aunt Liu slowly woke up and was not surprised to see Mu Chu. Mu Chu and Mu Yan came up to her. Mu Yan tried to hold back her tears and said, "Mother, I called my third sister."

Aunt Liu spoke with difficulty, as if she had used a lot of effort: "Chu'er, Aunt knows that you are a kind child, and your mother was like that before. You are just like your mother, and you can't bear to see others suffer. It's a pity that we can't protect you anymore. Aunt is dying, and Yan'er is still young, so you won't have to take care of him anymore. I don't ask for him to be promoted or have wealth and honor, I just want him to grow up healthy and happy, and be able to choose what he likes."

Mu Chu couldn't bear to listen any more, and his eyes turned red: "Aunt, don't worry, I will take good care of Yan'er."

Mu Yan had already burst into tears and held Aunt Liu's hand: "Mother, please don't leave me."

Aunt Liu paused for a long time, then spoke again, her voice getting smaller and smaller: "Chu'er, Yan'er, you must stay away from the Wang family. They are already crazy. I was enjoying the cool in the garden yesterday, and I accidentally heard the conversation between the lady and the marquis. The lady asked him to support the third prince to ascend the throne, but the marquis sided with the Crown Princess and was somewhat reluctant. Who knew that the lady actually threatened him, saying that if he didn't obey, he would end up like your father. She said that the old lady knew the secrets of the Qin family, and used this to write a letter to threaten your father, so he was killed."

Mu Chu was shocked when he heard this. He had been searching hard for clues about his father's murderer and the letter, but he didn't expect that it was the old lady who did it. He also didn't know what secrets they had that made his father force his way into such a dangerous place.

So he asked anxiously: "Aunt, did you hear what secret they were talking about?"

Aunt Liu shook her head with difficulty, her voice getting weaker and weaker: "I didn't hear it, Madam didn't say it. Your eldest brother has always been a person without a mindset, weak and afraid of things. After Madam told him about this, he stopped talking and we didn't continue the conversation."

Mu Chu frowned, "So, Auntie, you were discovered by them? Did they poison you to silence you?"

Aunt Liu's eyes slid down a tear, and she said weakly, "Yes, I was behind the rockery at the time, and Hongye bumped into Madam when she was delivering a cloak to me, but they didn't pursue it at the time, and they didn't see me.

Later that night the old lady sent someone to invite me over. When I came back at night I found that I was not feeling well. Thinking about what happened during the day, I knew something had happened. I only drank the tea given by the old lady, but I never thought it was poisonous.

I asked Gingxing to find Yan'er, and asked Yan'er to find you and your uncle."

Aunt Liu spoke every word with great effort and gasped loudly.

Mu Chu continued: "Aunt, take a rest. So you know you are going to die?"

Aunt Liu sniffed and said in an almost inaudible voice, "Yes, over the years, I have known the old lady's methods too well in the mansion. I know she will not let me go, and I don't want to struggle anymore. I just want to find a way for Yan'er to survive. Your father is gone, and I'm gone too.

Yan'er has no place to stay in the mansion anymore, Auntie, please take him to your uncle after I die."

Mu Chu looked at her speaking incoherently and was already too weak to do anything. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. I will definitely take Yan'er back and won't let anything happen to him."

Aunt Liu took one last look at Mu Yan, and reached out her hand to touch Mu Yan's face with her last bit of strength: "Good child, don't cry, listen to your sister."

After saying that, she slowly closed her eyes. When Mu Chu called her, "Aunt, Aunt," there was no response.

Mu Yan knelt on the ground and cried loudly. Xiao Tao came in and opened his mouth in shock: "Miss, Aunt Liu?"

Mu Chu nodded: "Xiao Tao, go out and ask the hidden guard to tell my uncle that I can't leave for the time being. Also, get the antidote to wake up the people in the yard. I need them to report the news to the old lady."

Xiaotao went there immediately.
