Chosen Son

Chapter 24 Laziness

In Gu Fan's life, the death most closely related to him was his own car accident.Therefore, all his perception of death is the sharp brake sound and the severe pain from all parts of the body, which is a kind of lively tragedy, the sudden disappearance of life.And the death of the second lady ended quietly after a long time. Everyone was more or less mentally prepared, but no one thought that it would come so soon.When the whole world as far as the eye could see turned white, the Yang Mansion was silent.

The second lady——this lady named Xiyan ended her short and bright life, and left quietly, leaving behind her young son who had been missed all her life and hadn't grown up yet.

Gu Fan gave Yang Zheng half a month and didn't bother him.

His original intention was to be considerate of the child who had just lost his mother, and gave him a period of time to adjust himself. Unexpectedly, when he came to Yang Zheng's residence again, he saw the silent boy still in a daze, his eyes full of tears. When he saw him coming, he just raised his head and glanced at him. His eyes were almost out of focus, the same as looking at an inanimate object. At first glance, he was exhausted and he was already in a trance.

Gu Fan hesitated for a moment, and sat a little farther in front of him, thinking about how to speak, when he heard the young man speak out first, his voice hoarse as if it had been ground by sand and stones: "Sir, do you believe that there is a lot of people in this world? Is there a reincarnation?"

"I believe it." Gu Fan said.

Perhaps he answered too quickly, a light flashed in the boy's eyes: "Really?"

Of course, Gu Fan couldn't tell him that there is a soul from another world hidden in the body in front of you, so he could only answer silently, as if he was comforting him.

There was a little hope on the young man's face, but it dimmed after a while, the knuckles of the hand holding the skirt were turning white, and he asked again tremblingly: "Then do you believe in karma?"

Gu Fan's face darkened instantly, he stared into Yang Zheng's eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

The young man laughed miserably: "I just think that a person who has committed many crimes deserves the retribution commensurate with her crime."

"Do you know?" He looked straight back at Gu Fan, "I've been feeling like I'm in a dream these days, obviously my mother is still leaning on the bedside talking to me during the day, although she looks mentally weak, but she also... ...but she was alive. In the evening, when I saw her again, she turned into a cold corpse. I dared not touch her. She looked so pale. The last words she said to me were Let me live well, but I can't figure it out."

He stood up, pursed his pale lips, his eyes seemed to be looking at a certain point in the void: "I can't figure it out."

He seemed to be caught in a strange circle. All the secret fears that had been suppressed in his heart surfaced with the death of his biological mother. He obviously thought he was strong, but he still seemed to lose his "center of gravity" at that moment, as if he was at a loss. One foot stepped into the air, and there was no one to rely on.

And at this moment, someone quietly told him that his mother was murdered.

"Who is that person? Who told you that your mother was murdered?" Gu Fan asked softly.

Yang Zheng sniffed, choked for a moment, and said, "It's a little maid. Although I haven't spoken to her, at least I know that she is...the personal maid by her side, and I've stayed by her side for a long time. For a while, there can be no mistake."

"There is no evidence for her words, but does she have evidence?"

"Yes." Yang Zheng took out something from his cuff. It was a beautiful little porcelain bottle. It seemed that he had kept it by his side these days and never left it. "This is the incense that my mother used all the time. The servant girl told me that there was poison in it, so I asked someone to ask quietly, and it was true. And this medicine is not highly poisonous... just taking it for a long time, the toxin will accumulate more and more until the end ...... Immortals are hard to heal.”

As he was talking, he seemed to be unable to continue. He turned his head away, as if he was enduring something. It took him a long time to wipe away his tears with his cuff, and continued: "The little maid said that what was left at that time was to be handed over to you." What she dealt with was originally intended to be destroyed, but she was timid and felt that it might become evidence in the future, so she quietly buried it in the flower bed behind the inner courtyard."

This is the ironclad proof, Gu Fan remained silent.

In fact, if the second wife was really murdered and died, then the most likely person he could think of was that dignified aunt.

only......

"Since he died of poison, why didn't the doctor who came to treat the disease check it out, and kept saying that Madam was just physically weak?"

"Perhaps the doctor was also bought by that woman, and the two conspired to deceive us." Yang Zheng's voice was a little hoarse, "But it's not important anymore. Now that I know it's her, I want her to pay for it."

He took a step closer, stared straight at Gu Fan, his eyes darkened: "Sir, what do you think?"

Gu Fan looked at him and didn't speak for a moment.

He almost watched this young man grow up. Although he is stubborn, he is not bad in nature after all, and he is talented.He has always lived a life without worrying about food and clothing, with the love of his parents, and those secret fights have not even had much splash, and they have barely avoided his eyes.

A child who lived in the sun suddenly accepted the darkness that was unbearable for him, and now he stood in front of him and said such extreme words, he suddenly felt a little sad.

At the same time, he had a guess in his mind.

"Have you already told your father about this?" He hesitated for a while before asking.

Yang Zheng suddenly turned his head away: "Don't mention him to me."

Gu Fan sighed, ignored his resistance, and continued to speak softly: "Did he tell you that the words of a little maidservant cannot be trusted, and told you to be more sensible, don't check anymore, let... let you Is it safe for the mother to be buried in the ground?"

In an instant, the room was silent, Yang Zheng clenched his fists, almost digging deep marks on his palms, and said for a long while:

"He didn't really like my mother at all, and if he died for no reason like this, my mother would not feel at ease at all."

He turned his head to look at Gu Fan as if aware of it: "Mr. Gu, you are the person I trust the most besides my relatives, you won't tell me that you agree with my father's way of calming things down?"

Come on, the fire finally caught him.

Gu Fan organized his words and said, "I don't agree, but I understand."

After all, Yang An is much more mature than Yang Zheng, and as the head of the family, he has more things to consider.Maybe he will warn his first wife in private, maybe there will be some more severe measures, but these things will not be mentioned on the surface, just like the previous frame-up.Not for anything else, just for her status as the first wife and the influence of her natal family behind her.These Gu Fan is not very clear, but more or less understand.In addition, the eldest lady is the biological mother of several young ladies, and the young ones have no one to take care of them. Those who are married have to worry about the reputation of their natal families. To put it more seriously, once it is opened, the entire Yang Mansion will be limited to the house. Among the rumors of harmony.

These principles went back and forth in his mind countless times, but he still couldn't get out of his mouth.Because he couldn't tell Yang Zheng that compared to a person who has passed away, your father thinks about everyone who is alive.

This sounds rational, but it is cruel.

Therefore, he organized the language for a long time, and only choked out this sentence.

Understand, but even as a bystander, he could not agree with this approach.

Yang Zheng sneered: "I see, sir must be saying in his heart that I don't know the general idea."

...little brat.

Gu Fan cursed in his heart, trying to tell himself that now that Yang Zheng is angry and don't care about him, he managed to suppress the anger in his heart after being misunderstood.

"I didn't mean that, you misunderstood..."

"I'm tired, sir, so I won't send it off." Yang Zheng stood up and walked straight to the back room without even turning his head.

This is a tactful signal to Gu Fan that he can leave by himself.

Although Gu Fan was a little depressed, he still couldn't get angry with the child who had just experienced the pain of losing his mother, so he could only sigh, pack up and "get out" aggrieved.

"You mean, young master, he knows about this?" In the warm and luxurious inner room, the woman is doing her makeup in front of the mirror. Although she looks quite old, her skin is still smooth and fair. A pair of bright red lips, the glamor of the face was overwhelmed by the slightly heavy clothing and jewelry, making her look a lot calmer, a model of a lady.The woman in front of her lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at her, and she trembled in fright when she heard her almost gentle question, and dared to speak only after she collected herself.

"It seems to be true. The servant saw that he took out the bottle that day, so he must know what's inside..."

"It's a little careless, I didn't have time to clean it up there." The woman put on the last pearl hairpin, and snorted coldly, "But I know who probably told him that if he eats the inside and outside, he will be kicked out tomorrow."

"I saw that Mr. Gu also passed by today, Madam, what do you think?" The maid carefully observed her expression.

"I knew he was a no-brainer. He would only look for Gu Fan when he encountered a problem. There was nothing I could do about it. I deserved to be a worthless guy. Li Xiyan counted on him all day long. What a joke." The woman said to Looking at it in the mirror, "He's just a poor scholar, not so smart. He should have disappeared eight years ago. Whoever gets him to make trouble."

"But about this matter... since the sloppy guy told the young master, I'm afraid he will leave evidence in his hand and do something wrong." The woman pondered for a while, then turned to the maid and said, "You Go get me something."
