Although Master He is not from Wuzhou City, and although Master He's business has not expanded to Wuzhou City, thanks to the previous sensational lawsuit, the name He Ruhui is a household name, and Master He came to Wuzhou City so much It is not rare to know his identity in time, and then there was such a commotion in Deyilou...

Regarding the fact that He Ruhui is not Mr. He's biological daughter, I don't know where it started to spread, but everyone has a gossip, and it didn't take long for even Mr. He who was in the prison to know.

Of course I didn't believe it at first, but I couldn't stand every yamen servant talking about it in front of me every day as if it were a joke, and gradually Mr. He became confused.He remembered that at that time he had just changed to his current identity and devoted himself to doing business. He remembered that he was very busy and often ran around to take care of the business, so, at that time, Ruhui was really himself at that time...

He felt that he couldn't continue thinking about it.

He has three sons and daughters in total, the eldest son went to the rivers and lakes very early, the second daughter is Qionghua, married to Xiao Ran's Qionghua... and Ruhui, the daughter he loved like a treasure in the palm of his hand since he was a child, A baby who is reluctant to give even a scolding...

If it wasn't his daughter, if it wasn't...

The more you tell yourself not to think about it, the more you can't restrain your imagination. In just a few days, Mr. He has turned pale and his spirits are sluggish, which is no different than being tortured for several days in a row.

Of course Mrs. He also heard the news, and after crying and making a fuss, she ordered all her servants not to tell Ruhui who was still recovering.But Ruhui still knew about it. It was some "talkative" servant who told her that her spirit was greatly stimulated, and her unhealthy body simply vomited two mouthfuls of blood and fell into a coma.Mrs. He hurriedly went to the doctor to see it. The doctor said that the blood was from the heart, caused by depression, or the same sentence, after waking up, take good care of it, and there is still a chance.

Mrs. He forgot at the time that there was any "opportunity", but it seemed that there was no need to ask. He Ruhui never "waked up" again, she was crazy.

Dressed up magnificently all day, sitting somewhere, dragging people to say that she is the wife of Bai Ye of Xuantianmen, and the eldest lady of the He family in Jiankang City. Even if Mrs. He sends two or three people to look after her, she can't control this lunatic .

Sometimes Mrs. He really doesn't understand, how can there be so many people who can't even look down on one person?

As for whether He Ruhui is Master He's biological daughter or not, at this moment, it makes no difference whether he is or not.

It didn't take long for the people in Wuzhou City to get used to a crazy woman suddenly running out of the busy city, some with irony, some with contempt, some with sympathy, but they just didn't reach out to help.

Then one day later, He Ruhui disappeared, and no one knew where she went. Well, at least when Xiao Ran asked about Bai Ye, the man spread his hands and said, I don't know.

Her life and death were unknown until one day three years later, He Ruhui's body was found in a lake outside a nearby county, in a miserable state of death, with not a single intact part of her body intact.Because he had been immersed in the water for some time, it was impossible to confirm the time of death, so he had to close the case by slipping into the water in a hurry.

Although the official can't explain where the scars on her body came from, but according to folklore, He Ruhui is pretty, she must have been tied up and sold into a brothel, but this crazy woman was disobedient, so... …

Of course, this is all about He Ruhui.

When He Ruhui disappeared, it was the time when Master He started interrogating.

It is said that after He Ruhui disappeared, Mrs. He drove a carriage and left Wuzhou City overnight with a few servants close to her. Everyone believed that she had run away. It is more realistic to leave with all the softness...

But the next day in the lobby, Madam He appeared with a haggard face. Her carriage and all the servants stayed quietly in the small courtyard as if they had gone out for a stroll around the city in the middle of the night.

Well, Bai Ye didn't tell Xiao Ran anything, all he knew was that the men he sent to intercept Madam He met outside the city with another group of men who had already intercepted Madam He and escorted her back to the city, and the two sides fought amicably Greetings, even after sending Mrs. He back to the other hospital, the two groups went to drink together.

Of course, Bai Ye didn't tell Xiao Ran that the other group of people had obvious signs of a certain adult on their sleeves, which is not important anymore, including Mr. He who was originally murdered and should be sentenced to death. Confiscated, he needs to serve a lifetime of hard labor, his wife and son are sentenced to military slaves-well, his son has long since disappeared, and his daughter has disappeared, and the only one who can serve is Mrs. He Yiren.

But this is not important anymore. For Bai Ye, this is the end of the matter. The most important thing is...

Master Zhang is here.

Even if Zhang Ting came by himself, Bai Ye could stop him from the door, regardless of whether he passed the sentence...if he could survive.But Master Zhang can't, Bai Ye remembered that Xiao Ran told him that Master Zhang was an old man whom he respected very much, and even Xiao Ran could get into trouble with himself because of this old man...

So when Master Zhang opened the door and walked into the house, Bai Ye could only stand outside the door depressed.

Xiao Ran was also very surprised when he saw Mr. Zhang, so he sat up on the bed with Shi Er's help. When he looked up, he saw Mr. Zhang's gray hair and tired and old face. "Zhang, Master Zhang, this is..."

Master Zhang forced a smile that wasn't a smile. "Mr. has been lying in bed for a long time, maybe you don't know about Hanwen's death?"

Xiao Ran's eyes widened, but he couldn't say a word. It took him a long time to ask in a trembling voice, "You, what did you say?"

"Hanwen committed suicide, in his study..." The old man paused, took a breath to stabilize his mood, and then continued: "Sir, I didn't know about the previous lawsuit until later. Inside the prison. I don’t believe that you would do such a thing, sir. I asked Hanwen, but he told me to leave it alone... Later, I heard that Mr. Bai was coming, and I also heard that in the lobby He, you, you..."

Speaking of this, Master Zhang seemed to be unable to find words to describe for a while, he hesitated twice in embarrassment, but Xiao Ran answered the words for him softly. "Well, he, I and Bai Ye are indeed lovers... I don't know if you can accept it, but I really won't kill people."

"...Heh, I have known Mr. for so many years. How can I not know what Mr. is like? Hanwen has been shutting himself in the study since that time. I know he has something on his mind. I want to persuade him to come and talk to you. Have a good talk, but before I decide to talk to him, Hanwen has already..." The old man's voice was choked up when he said this, and he couldn't continue a sentence, so Shi Er hurriedly stepped forward to pat him gently. Rubbing his back to help him breathe.

Master Zhang took a few breaths before he could barely breathe, and took out an unopened letter from his sleeve with shaking hands. "This, this is what I found on Hanwen's desk after his death. It says that it was written by you personally, sir, so I sent it here for you today."

He watched Xiao Ran take the letter from him, holding it carefully in his hand and staring at the four big words "Mr. Dear Sir" on the letter. When the corners of his eyes gradually got wet, Mr. Zhang seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and pressed his hand on Xiao Ran's shoulder. Cry out loud. "Sir, Hanwen only had one last wish before he died, and he begs you to forgive him... I know you have been wronged, sir, but please forgive Hanwen, just for the sake of this old man..."

In the end, Master Zhang left while wiping his old tears, and Bai Ye personally sent him out.I don't know why, for this old man, even Bai Ye, who likes to care about things, can't feel any resentment in his heart, even when the old man held his hand and said sorry to Xiao Ran, he still knew how to say "it's over"... …

Maybe some people still have awe-inspiring nobility, Bai Ye watched the old man's sedan chair go away, waved to please him, and asked him to tell the people of Xuantianmen, Zhang family please take care of them in the future.

When I returned to the room, I saw Xiao Ran holding a piece of letter paper and crying so hard that he couldn't help himself. Shi Er was in a hurry to persuade him, and when he saw Bai Ye coming in, he hurriedly said, "Second Master, come and persuade Third Master, he is crying like this , didn’t you hurt your own body?”

Bai Ye let Kuixi leave first, then sat on the side of the bed, and pressed Xiao Ran into his arms. "I'm sorry, I haven't told you about Zhang Ting. You know that you will not be happy about it. Before you were recuperating, the doctor said that you are not suitable for sad mood..."

"I know, it's just Bai Ye. I don't understand. Why did Zhang Ting insist on taking this path? How could he be so casual? Just because I can't accept him? Bai Ye, I really don't understand, is he crazy? ?”

Why did Zhang Ting do this?Abandoning one's own righteousness, violating one's own conscience, and even taking one's own life easily in the end...

Just because he couldn't get himself, but felt sorry for him afterwards, felt ashamed to face himself, so he simply died?How can you do this?How could this be?

This was an unanswerable question, Bai Ye couldn't answer it, he could only comfort Xiao Ran in his arms until he fell asleep crying.

Bai Ye burned the letter without reading a single word.He told Xiao Ran that no matter whether he forgives Zhang Ting or not, that person is no longer here.

He said that you don't need to feel guilty about the Zhang family, as long as Xuantianmen is still in Wuzhou City, it will protect the Zhang family for a day.

Xiao Ran nodded silently, and after a while, he only said that if Master Zhang passed away one day, even if the Zhang family disagreed, he would still wear hemp and mourning for him for at least one day. and die.

Bai Ye smiled and said, if the Zhang family dare not let you go, I will carry you over the wall to the mourning hall in the middle of the night.

At this point, the matter of Zhang Ting was no longer mentioned between the two of them. Although Bai Ye knew that Xiao Ran would never forget this man in his life, Zhang Ting used another method to make Xiao Ran remember him forever...
