Chapter 205: To Exterminate the Perpetrator

All the men in the village were holding torches and searching along the official road leading to the city. In the middle of the road, they find the remains of a donkey cart hanging on a cliff and the shoes of a young girl! Too bad! She is a nimble and cute little girl ah! He had lost his life at a very young age …

Many villagers secretly educate their children in private: In the future, when traveling in that part of the mountain road, the, one had to be extra careful so as not to fall far down the cliff like the daughter of the Yu Family.

On the second day, a small ‘mayat’ covered in white cloth was placed in the Yu Family courtyard. The entire Yu Family is enveloped in the atmosphere of ‘bering’. When the news reached the Yu House, Madam Zhang raised her eyebrows and almost laughed out loud, ‘She deserves it! That poor, unfilial man always fought me! It seems like even the sky finally can't take it anymore, right? ‘

Old Yu, on the other hand, hurriedly walked towards the old residence with shaky steps. When he entered the courtyard and saw a figure covered in white cloth on top of the wooden bed, he muttered, “What happened? The road was fixed, so why did he still fall off the cliff? My granddaughter ah, why do you have such a miserable life ah? ”

With his head lowered, Yu Hai crouched beside the wooden bed without moving, as if he was a statue. He did not dare to look up for fear that others could see him. Under the white cloth was a haystack he had made with grass last night. Old Fang said that he should pretend with a sad expression, but how could he pretend ah …

Yu Hang, who was standing at the side, rubbed his eyes hard to blush before he lifted his head and called Old Yu, “Grandfather ..”

Xiaolian was really crying. He thought about how he had a lingering fear yesterday that something was going to happen. Sure enough, Xiaocao had met with the bandits and nearly lost his life. Her little sister is very smart, beautiful, and capable ah! But that vile fellow actually wanted to hurt his little sister. When they found the real culprit, they should also let it feel like it was thrown off a cliff !!

Little Shitou sobbed loudly, “Second Brother ah, Second Brother. Second Brother, please open your eyes and look at Little Shitou again... ”Uh, he howled without tears!

As for Madam Liu, since she did not know how to act, the family feared she would slip up and they would not be able to find the real culprit. So, they told her to hide in the room, and to the public, they said that she was so sad that she fainted from crying!

Fang Zizhen and Lady Fang also stayed beside the tiny body. One of them was filled with righteous anger and vowed to avenge his daughter, while the other quietly cried and fell by the bedside several times. As someone from a large noble family, who doesn't have a bit of acting skills? Lady Fang's cry was so sincere that some of the women in the village also cried incessantly and repeatedly comforted her.

Seeing this pitiful sight before him, Old Yu sighed deeply and crouched on the ground while holding his head in silence. Although she usually did not pay much attention to this younger granddaughter of hers, if she really died, she still felt very sad in her heart.

During the day, the people who had come to help were mostly gone. The familiar horse carriage stopped in front of the Yu Family home, and a slender and refined figure descended from the carriage. She stumbled into the house and cried sadly, “Young Cousin! Why did you suddenly leave like this? ”

Lady Fang raised her head and looked at her nephew with reddened eyes. His gaze was deep and calm, “Furong, are you back? Are you feeling better now? Also, how do you know about the accident of your younger cousin? ”

Whining Xia Furong paused for a moment before he quickly recovered and sadly said, “Auntie, don't be too sad ah! As soon as I entered the village, I heard someone talking about the issue of Young Cousin .. It is unfortunate for Young Cousin to face such a disaster at such a young age, how can you bear to let Aunt see her son die before herself ah!”

She was truly a great actress; tears kept flowing from her eyes as if free. Xiaocao, who was hiding in the storage room, watched Xia Furong's series of performances in great awe. Sure enough, no one had ever experienced a showdown in the core court of ancient times that was easy to handle!

Since ‘almarhum’ was still a minor and a girl, she could not be buried in the ancestral cemetery of the village, nor could they make large arrangements for her funeral. They could only pick an area in a common grave on the south side of the mountain, roll up his body on a straw mat, and bury it in a hole. Xia Furong took part in the entire process. After he personally saw that ‘mayat’ was buried, he made an excuse in the morning the next day and quickly rushed to the city.

Fang Zizhen and the Yu Family brought the two bandits and followed Xia Furong into the city. The two bandits, who had been arranged to hide in the darkness in the Yu Residence by Fang Zizhen, had made sure that Zixiang, who was beside Xia Furong, was the one who made a deal with them.

To catch a thief, you must find evidence first. To prevent Xia Furong from quarreling, Fang Zizhen and the Yu Family caught their wet as Zixiang gave the rest of the money to the bandits.

When Fang Zizhen's partner, Yu Xiaocao, and the other members of the Yu Family brought the two bandits and Zixiang in front of Xia Furong, this young girl, who was only thirteen years old, brought the two bandits and Zixiang in front of Xia Furong, this young girl, who was only thirteen years old, I really want to keep looking for excuses.

He looked at Zixiang with deep pain and scolded in a tone as if he hated iron for not being steel, “Zixiang, you have done wrong ah! Even though we are as close as sisters, I never expected you to take revenge this way! Younger Cousin did not suit me and stole many items that were originally mine, but. I really never thought of taking his life ah !! ”

Xia Furong could still calmly change her current words, “Aunt, this is the niece's fault! This happened because Zixiang saw Younger Cousin had taken all of Auntie's affection and felt angry at me, so she ended up doing something wrong. Please Auntie, for the sake of the Nephew, let him die without pain! ”

Zixiang opened her eyes wide and had a look of astonishment on her face as she looked towards the selfish young miss speaking. Young miss plans to blame all her ah. He was persecuted !! When the Young Miss ordered him to do so, he tried to persuade her not to do so. But at that moment, Young Miss's heart was already blinded by hatred and jealousy, so she would not listen to anyone. He had no idea how the young miss had found the two bastards in the city. He took out his savings and instructed him to hire the two rascals as hitmen. How could he be the mastermind now, while the young miss turned into an innocent person?

He wanted to defend himself, but he noticed the warning gaze of the young miss. Zixiang felt a burst of coldness in her heart. He was the son of the servant of the Xia Household. His parents and younger brother were all in the hands of the Xia Family. If he were to tell the truth, not to mention whether he could avoid punishment for his crimes, but it would also involve his family …

Zixiang's heart like dead ash — completely lost. His legs were limp and he fell to the ground. He trembled and said, “This lowly helper must die. This lowly servant couldn't bear to see the young lady being persecuted, and this committed this terrible crime. This lowly servant deserves to die .. ”

“Wrong? My Fang Family gave you good food and drink. Each season, you receive the same amount of clothing and jewelry as the family of the office. When have I, your aunt, ever treated you unfairly? ”

As if she had not heard Zixiang ‘ plead guilty’, Miss Fang stared intently at Xia Furong and felt a cold feeling in her heart. After being exposed for doing something wrong, he could still calmly push it to others and let a female servant, who was as close as a sister to him, become his scapegoat, he said, yet he did not even feel any guilt and shame at all. . She has raised an ungrateful and ferocious person ah! All these years, he had treated this nephew of his very well and raised this thirteen-year-old girl to be too ambitious and greedy!

Xia Furong hurriedly said, “Although Aunt and I have no mother-daughter relationship, we have feelings similar to a pair of mothers and children. Nephew is always grateful in my heart. ”.

With a voice that was like rushing water, Miss Fang interjected, “You were right about that. We are not mother and child. Your family name is Xia, not Fang! Everything that belongs to the Fang Family has nothing to do with you in the future! You need to be clear about this! ”

Xia Furong's skin changed. With a pale face, she stuttered, “Why did Auntie say that? Niece of women never dared to have such wishful thinking.. ”.

“It's great you know it's wishful thinking !! Xiaocao is the goddaughter I know. If the Fang Family had no descendants in the future, all of the Fang Family's properties would be his! As for you, you are just a relative of the Xia Family who temporarily stayed in the Fang Family's house, and that's it! What rights do you have to compare with Xiaocao? ” Mistress Fang is obviously very familiar with the showdown in the core court; she directly attacked the opponent's vulnerability.

After all, Xia Furong was just a teenage girl. He could no longer control the anger in his heart. His facial expression became fierce, “Why! Aunt, I have accompanied you for many years. Aren't I better than the peasant girl you only know for less than half a year? Auntie, think. Who is next to you when you have been lonely for the past few years? Who is on your side when you are sick? Who are the people who act silly to cheer you up when you are sad? What good is this stupid girl who comes from a humble family? Why are you all treating her so well and doing so much for her? I can't accept this !! How is he better than me ?? ”

After her nephew showed his true color, Lady Fang still looked calm and indifferent. The indifference in his eyes gradually stopped Xia Furong's commotion.

Madam Fang sighed and said, “Furong, you seem to have forgotten what your parents said when I brought you here. You are just the ‘hobi’ they gave me. If you don't do the things you just mentioned, do you think there's still any point in staying at the Fang Household? ”

“Over Older... Older Aunt!” Xia Furong's face was filled with disbelief. He never thought that his aunt, who had loved and cherished him, would say such hurtful words.

With a face of regret, Miss Fang continued, “Maybe, over the years, I have been so kind to you that you have forgotten your duty and identity. Have you always wanted to be the young miss of the Fang Family? Think about it. If I wanted to accept you as my daughter, I would have fulfilled your wish many years ago! Why should I wait until now? ”

The bubble of hope within Xia Furong's heart had exploded, and his heart was filled with despair. He rushed towards Xiaocao like a mad woman, but was pushed by Fang Zizhen and fell hard to the ground. She cried desperately, “Why? Why!! How can I be inferior to him? What exactly is very good about him.. ”.

Lady Fang looked at her with compassion and slowly said, “She may not be as beautiful as you, nor does she have your elegance and composure. Because he is purer and more sincere than you! His heart is cleaner than yours !! ”

Xia Furong crawled up, held on to Lady Fang's feet, and shouted, “Auntie, it's all Zixiang's idea. This has nothing to do with me ah, Auntie !! ”
