Flower Moon

Chapter 97 Going to Hongshan Temple
At night, He Jinwen's face was covered with blood, and she was still holding the child, pacing in the room.

The wound left by Lu Guanting hasn't healed yet, but her children don't care about it, crying endlessly - they seem to be happy to see He Jinwen running around.The more tired she was, the more peacefully he slept.

The room was small, and she walked around, just wandering around the place where his second son hanged himself.Gradually, when He Jinwen was about to bleed to death, the child finally calmed down again.

He is always like this, and when she is about to collapse, he will give her the strength to breathe overnight.

After the child calmed down, He Jinwen couldn't calm down.She opened her mouth suddenly and asked Xuemei beside her, "When did you start following your lord?"

Xuemei was sent to Lu Zhuming's side after Lu Zhuming started crying day and night, and she had never seen her before.She didn't know when she entered the Lu residence.

Xuemei thought for a while and said, "Strictly speaking, Mr. Lu and I grew up together."

"Grow up together?" He Jinwen exclaimed.

Xuemei nodded and lit a candle.Holding on to the candlelight, she placed it by the table, and the surroundings became brighter.

Xuemei's neither pretty nor ugly face became more real.

However, the strange thing is that He Jinwen found that she still couldn't remember Xuemei's appearance.

Even if you see it clearly now, you will forget it after a while.

But He Jinwen didn't think too much, just asked her: "What's the relationship between you and Guan Ting?" Growing up together, apart from having children at home, they were child brides-in-law, but Xuemei didn't look like her at all.

"Ma'am, don't get me wrong. What I mean by this servant is that we grew up in the same slum. Later, Master Lu came to the top, so he brought us here so that we can have something to eat."

"I see."

He Jinwen just breathed a sigh of relief, showing a dazed expression, but Xuemei's next sentence made her heart rise to her throat again: "Master Lu's first wife, Chen Qiubi, also lived in Liujinfang, the three of us grew up together .My relationship with her... can be regarded as close."

"In your opinion, would Chen Qiubi be someone who had an affair with someone else?" He Jinwen asked again.

Xuemei shook her head, without any ambiguity, and said straight: "No."

"So, she was wronged?"

Xuemei nodded: "She respects, adores, considerate, and caring for her husband. She loves and cherishes her children, and she has fulfilled the duties and responsibilities of a mother. She has deep affection and friendship with her friends, and she will not be alienated because of her status. .She is a person with no flaws in character or appearance, and it is absolutely impossible for her to have an affair with others."

Hearing this, He Jinwen probably understood the purpose of Xuemei following her.

She was afraid that she wanted to tell herself that Lu Guanting had a problem, but she couldn't open it. She could only wait for her to find out and ask her, and then she would know everything and talk endlessly.

As for why Chen Qiubi finally ended up having an affair with someone else and then was Shentang, the answer is ready to come out.

"Because of you, she can only die." Xuemei said lightly, and said the answer that He Jinwen had already guessed.

Three years ago, because her father fell in love with Lu Guanting and thought he was a good man, and heard that his wife was a poor wife with no power or power in the court, he intended to marry off his daughter.

How can Shangshu's daughter marry someone else to fill in the house?With all his thoughts, how could he make a wedding dress for others?
So after a little dialing, Lu Guanting understood what to do.So he wanted to abandon Chen Qiubi.But Chen Qiubi shared troubles with him, and already had children, how could he be willing to leave?

not to go?That Lu Guanting was squinted by the riches, so he could only find an unforgivable slap in the face and beat her to death in public. After her death, her body was not buried in the ground and was sunk at the bottom of the Zisha River.

Now, although He Jinwen was not the culprit who murdered Chen Qiubi, she was the fuse that forced Chen Qiubi to death.And the two children born to Chen Qiubi, not only did not come from an affair with others, but the real blood of Lu Guanting.In this way, under their own eyes, they hanged themselves because of being treated harshly.She has never done these things, but everything has to do with her.

Nowadays, strange things happen frequently in the Lu residence, and it is afraid that Chen Qiubi's mother and son will also be related to each other.

But she didn't even have the stance to blame.

Chen Qiubi was the victim, her child was a hundred times, a thousand times more miserable than her own.She, Vance, was also to blame.

He Jinwen suddenly felt that the beam above her head was even colder and colder.

"There are other remedies." Xuemei said again.

"How to remedy it?"

"Expose Lu Guanting and draw a clear line with him. Then the crimes he committed will not be reported to you."

"..."

He Jinwen hesitated.

"A man like this, why are you still hesitating? Do you still dare to stay by his side?" With the flickering candlelight, Xuemei's face flickered.It's like sound transmission from hell.

"Don't dare. But what else can I do?" He Jinwen shook her head again and again, regretting her mistakes.

Now she is trapped here, isolated and helpless, until her father finds out that she is strange, I don't know how long it will be in the Year of the Monkey?By then, will she still be alive?

"I can help you escape." Xuemei said.

Hearing this, He Jinwen seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly asked, "How to escape?"

"This was originally a small courtyard independent of Lu's residence. As long as I lure the guards away, you can go out through the back door. After you go out, find He Xing from Jiufangliao, and he will help you."

Xuemei has thought out a way out for her in every word and every sentence.As long as she does what Xuemei said, find He Xing, expose Lu Guanting, and ruin his reputation, she can regain her freedom.

She also believed that Chen Qiubi and her second son would never embarrass her until then.

But when the matter came to an end, He Jinwen thought for a moment, then shook her head again: "If Lu Guanting's reputation is ruined, my child and I will have no future."

"Could it be that if you stay here, you will have a future? This child is obviously overwhelmed, and it is fundamental to ask Jiufangliao for help. Do you hope that the future will not be able to sleep day and night, and your child will not be able to sleep day and night? Are they all crying?"

He Jinwen was finally convinced.

"Okay, I listen to you, I'll go."

Early morning is when people are most sleepy.He Jinwen was unable to rest and struggle for several days because she had just given birth.Later, he was injured by Lu Guanting, so he didn't need anyone to take care of him. In the small courtyard, there were only two guards guarding the door.

Xuemei didn't know what method she used. When she went out, the two guards were lying on the ground staggered, as if they were asleep.

"Remember, go straight ahead, turn left when you see the road, turn right at the sixth alley, go straight ahead, and go out of the city gate. Go to Hongshan Temple and look for He Xing." This is the way Xuemei pointed out to her.

"Aren't you going?" He Jinwen asked.

Xuemei shook her head and said, "I have other things to do."
