I am not a good person

Zhao Zenian wiped away any suspicious traces with the wind of his palm, walked to the edge of the cliff, took a look at one of Xu Yuan's shoes, took out a firework bomb from his waist, and threw it into the sky.

The blue fireworks burst in the air and quickly dissipated with the wind.

He didn't stop for a moment, pretended to be looking for a cat, and then entered the deep forest.

When the appointed time came, Xu Wenxuan also came back to the place where the three of them separated. The two waited and waited, but Xu Yuan did not appear.

Xu Wenxuan became more and more anxious: "Brother... Could something have happened?"

Zhao Zenian's expression changed slightly: "It's hard to say, some places on this mountain are very steep, I almost fell just now."

When Xu Wenxuan heard this, he became even more anxious: "Let's go and have a look."

The two walked along the road that Xu Yuan was walking, and found Xu Yuan's bracelet and shoes on the edge of the cliff.

Xu Wenxuan swallowed his saliva: "Could it be, did the eldest brother accidentally fall off the cliff?"

Zhao Zenian frowned and remained silent.

The two of them looked and looked at the bottom of the cliff, but they couldn't see the end.

Xu Wenxuan wiped the sweat from his brow: "Brother probably didn't see the way clearly, that's why he fell. I have to go back and find someone. Before dark, I must find him!"

Zhao Zenian nodded "worriedly": "You go, I'll look around first!"

Xu Wenxuan trotted down the mountain.

Zhao Zenian sat on a rock under a tree by the cliff, letting the wind blow hard on his face, and when Xu Wenxuan and Xu Hai arrived, his lips were already chapped and his expression was tired, as if he had been really It's so tiring to find someone.

Xu Wenxuan said with concern: "Master Zhao, you have worked hard for so long, just sit here and have a good rest."

Zhao Zenian responded "weakly", leaning his back against the tree trunk and closing his eyes to rest.

After searching on the mountain for more than an hour, except for Xu Yuan's silver bracelet and a shoe, he couldn't find anything else.The cliff is so steep that I can't go down at all.

Xu Hai looked down the cliff for a while, and said: "Third young master, look at the traces, it is clear that the young master stumbled and slipped down the cliff. Everyone in Danxi town knows how high this mountain is. People... I'm afraid I can't find it!"

Xu Wenxuan burst into tears: "Brother!"

Zhao Zenian walked over and glanced at the bracelet and shoes in his hand, with a sad expression on his face: "Xu Yuan is gone, so I don't mean anything here."

Arching his hands, he said, "Farewell..."

Xu Hai hurriedly said: "Young Master Zhao, you are tired after taking so much time, why don't you go back to the mansion to have a rest?"

Zhao Ze Nian waved his hands without looking back, and walked forward in a nonchalant manner. After walking a few steps, Xu Hai's voice sounded from behind: "Go, go back to the house!"

Back at the Yunfeng Inn, Hua Shangxue ordered Xiaoer to prepare a table of sumptuous meals.

"It's done?"

"It's more than half done."

The corners of Hua Shangxue's originally raised lips immediately twitched: "Oh, I thought we could leave today!"

Zhao Zenian smiled with his chin in his hand: "With me by my side, Sister Hua still finds it boring?"

Hua Shangxue snorted softly and said, "I have already asked Fang Yun and Liu Zikun to do what you told me." Fang Yun was her subordinate.

Zhao Zenian said "hmm" and fell on the bed: "I'll sleep for a while."

In a few days, the news about Xu's mansion spread throughout Danxi Town. There are different opinions about Xu Yuan's falling off the cliff and his disappearance. up.

Zhao Zenian didn't want to enter Xu's house at first, but Hua Shangxue insisted on pulling him, and he couldn't help complaining: "I want to know what the Xu family looks like, and what's so good about it?"

"I just want to take a look, the more I look at it, the more I remember it." Hua Shangxue said, narrowing her eyes: "Speaking of which, my experience with Xu Yuan is somewhat similar, but I am luckier than him. When he meets you, he gets a new life; when he meets you, he goes to hell!"

Hearing the last sentence, Zhao Zenian was slightly shocked, but only a little moved, he asked: "Sister Hua, are you going to let those who have sorry for you go?"

"Who said that?" Hua Shangxue gave him a white look: "I just don't have that plan for the time being, just wait, one day I will go back."

Zhao Zenian smiled faintly, one day, he will also go back to Meijiabao, and those who poison him and burn him to death will definitely live worse than death in the end!

When the two entered Xu's mansion, Xu Fengyan was losing his temper and broke all the porcelain in the room. After the porcelain fell, he started to drop the flower pots.

Yuan Hui came in a hurry under the girl's report, and asked anxiously, "Son, what are you doing?"

"Mom, did you hear what they said? They said I killed Xu Yuan!"

As the mistress of the house, how could Yuan Hui not know what happened outside, the most important thing at the moment is to keep her son steady: "Feng Yan, don't care what the outsiders say, we have done the right thing and have a clear conscience! "

"But what they said was really ugly."

Xu Fengyan sat down on the chair dejectedly, and rested his forehead with his hands weakly: "I don't know who is caring, but connected the recent events together, saying that I can't tolerate Xu Yuan, and deliberately took advantage of him when he went up the mountain. Pushing off the cliff, in this case, I will still be the young master of the Xu family, my father's son, and when the time comes to divide the family property, I will share more..."

Listening to what her son said, Yuan Hui's face became more and more ugly: "Outsiders don't understand anything, so they talk nonsense. Feng Yan, just listen to it."

Xu Fengyan exhaled: "I hope this matter will subside soon."

Zhao Zenian shook his head. With the help of him and Hua Shangxue, the rumors became more and more outrageous. He couldn't get rid of Xu Fengyan's relationship. Even Xu Shaoliang's going out to discuss business was seriously affected.

I heard that the restaurant and tea shop under the name of Xu Fengyan had a good business, but these days they also received a cold reception, and gradually no customers came to the door.

Yuan Hui was comforting her son when the maid came to report that Xu Shaoliang had returned and told them all to go to the flower hall.

So, Zhao Zenian and Hua Shangxue immediately changed places to peep, but after waiting for a while, only Yuan Hui came, and Xu Fengyan did not come.

Seeing Yuan Hui, Xu Shaoliang slapped the table with his palm, and the table cracked a crack.

Yuan Hui looked very nervous, rubbing the veil in her hand: "Master..."

"Where is Fengyan?"

Yuan Hui said: "Feng Yan is sick, rest at home."

Xu Shaoliang sneered twice and raised his tone: "Rest, can he still rest? Call him here!"

A flash of panic flashed across Yuan Hui's face, and she said softly: "Master, don't be angry. This matter has nothing to do with Feng Yan, it's all nonsense from outsiders."

Hearing this, Xu Shaoliang suddenly turned his head and stared at her: "Nonsense? Hehehe, the matter has developed to this point, the truth is no longer important, do you understand?"

"Brother-in-law, don't panic!"

Accompanied by the sound, a middle-aged man in a broad robe came in from outside the hall with two servants.

Zhao Zenian and Hua Shangxue had never met this person before, but they heard him call Xu Shaoliang's brother-in-law, he must be Yuan Hui's eldest brother, and now the head of the Yuan family.

Yuan Hui was overjoyed when she saw him.

Xu Shaoliang frowned quickly, and asked, "Why do you come here when you have time?"

Brother Yuan Hui raised his eyebrows: "Hey, the news about your house has spread all over the streets and alleys. Shaoliang, speaking of it, he's just an insignificant bastard. Why do you need to spend so much thought?"

Xu Shaoliang narrowed his eyes, lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Aunt Ying came in with her maid: "Master..."

Xu Shaoliang asked her: "Wen Xuan, why haven't I seen him these few days?"

Aunt Ying's eyes were pained, and she replied: "Since Yuan'er's accident, Wen Xuan has been blaming himself. I can't bear him to be so depressed, so I advise him to go out more often. Who would have heard those outrageous things when he went out?" Rumor has it that Wen Xuan was so angry that he started arguing with others in the teahouse, and then..."

"Then what?"

Aunt Ying's eyes were red: "Wenxuan was very sad for his elder brother, and because of the rumors outside, he was fighting for his second brother, and he was so angry and anxious that he fell ill!"

Xu Shaoliang was stunned for a moment, and turned his back while thinking about it.

Behind him, Yuan Hui glared at Aunt Ying bitterly, as if blaming Aunt Ying for adding fuel to the fire, she asked, "Wen Xuan is really sick?"

"Yes." Aunt Ying was very melancholy: "He comes to greet me every day, but he has been sick for several days, and I didn't find out until today."

Xu Shaoliang came back to his senses and asked, "Did you call for a doctor?"

"Please, the doctor said that Wenxuan needs to stay in bed and have a good rest, but Yuan'er is about to have his first seven days, how can he sleep?" Aunt Ying said, wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Xu Shaoliang had this son in his eyes: "I'll go and see him."

After thinking for a while, he turned his head: "Brother, sit down, I'll come as soon as I go."

The Patriarch of the Yuan family was here, so Yuan Hui naturally stayed behind.

Zhao Zenian touched Hua Shangxue's shoulder, and asked her with his eyes if she should stay here or follow Xu Shaoliang.

Hua Shangxue rolled her eyes, and raised her chin in the direction Xu Shaoliang was walking.

Zhao Zenian then took her to the courtyard where Xu Wenxuan lived.

It was a scorching summer, and the windows were wide open. From the outside, Xu Wenxuan was sitting at the table folding ingots with gold and silver foil paper. There were already two hills piled up on the table, one gold-leaf ingot and one silver-leaf ingot.

Xu Shaoliang was puzzled: "What are you doing with this?"

Xu Wenxuan looked haggard, as if he hadn't slept all night: "I'm afraid that my eldest brother has no money to spend, and my eldest brother suffered hardships during his lifetime, how can he suffer after his death? I'm afraid it will be chilling for their mother and son to get together underneath!"

It may be because his tone was too sad, Xu Shaoliang's eyes showed a bit of unbearable, and his hands shook several times.

After being silent for a while, Xu Shaoliang said: "Wenxuan, you have a better conscience than Feng Yan. When your elder brother is going to the funeral, he doesn't even show up for the basic offering of incense and blessings."

Xu Wenxuan paused in his hands, and continued to stack the ingots.

Xu Shaoliang didn't say anything else, turned around and left the yard.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shaoliang's anger disappeared like this, Hua Shangxue was a little disappointed, and shook her head to express that she didn't want to watch it.After leaving the Xu residence, she asked, "Tell me, what is Xu Shaoliang thinking now?"
