Chapter 49 The Kindness of Women
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Da raised his hand and helped the dumb woman close her dying eyes.

Everyone watched this scene in silence, not knowing what to say.

Lu Gui's legs were paralyzed and he couldn't speak a word.

After Lu Da helped the dumb woman cover her eyes, she buried her head in the dumb woman's neck and didn't speak for a long time.Chu Qing looked at it, feeling very surprised. She frowned and looked at Lu Da's arched back, and suddenly her expression changed: "Pull him away!"

Li Tianxiao quickly went forward, pulled Lu Da away, and saw black blood dripping from his mouth, eyes half down, looking at Chu Qing expressionlessly.

Chu Qing frowned and said, "You, why are you bothering?" Since she acquiesced that the dumb woman would bear all the charges, it was because she knew that Lu Da had always been passive in this matter, and at most he was The participants, in this case, simply let this matter go to an end, but they didn't expect that Lu Da would choose such a path.

The butler rushed over, hugged Lu Da and cried, "Da'er, why are you so hard on yourself?"

Chu Qing wanted to treat him, but was stopped by Lu Da: "No...it's..." He rolled his Adam's apple up and down a few times before grabbing Chu Qing's hand, and said: "Actually... ...I didn't want to live a long time ago...just...because...there...was Xiaoyu here...but now...mother...mother is gone...Xiaoyu and the child...are gone...me too There is no need to live anymore... When we get to the ground... we can be reunited... We are reunited..." Lu Da sighed softly, and tightened Chu Qing's wrist, "I...I want to thank you... You made me... free... If it weren't for you... I... don't know... how long it will take..."

The housekeeper burst into tears, choking with sobs: "Da'er..."

Lu Da's pupils began to slack, he stretched out his hand to look at the sky, and murmured: "Xiaoyu..."

Finally, the hand hangs down feebly.

Lu Da had already swallowed the slow poison given to Lu Gui, but he swallowed a large amount, and when he discovered the poison, it was already incurable.He seemed to have known for a long time that he was in danger, or, after Xiaoyu's death, he had no intention of living any longer.The dumb woman had calculated everything correctly, but when she persuaded Xiaoyu to commit suicide, she probably didn't expect that she would also push her own son to a dead end.

Lu Gui was dumbfounded the whole time, he seemed to have forgotten to speak and everything, and could only stare blankly at the dead dumb woman and Lu Da.

Suddenly screamed and passed out.

After some people turned their backs on their backs, Chu Qing sat on the stone chair in the side courtyard, and said nothing in a daze.

The manor was preparing for the funeral, and in the past few days, mourning halls had been prepared four times, which made the entire Lu mansion listless.

It was silent, and the surroundings were also quiet.

Chu Qing rubbed his face: "Did I do something wrong..."

Li Tianxiao looked over: "Why do you ask such a question?"

Chu Qing murmured: "I solved the case, but they are all dead."

"How could it be because of you? Even if it wasn't for you, not only the dumb woman, Lu Da, and even Lu Gui would all die, there might be more people dying. As long as this matter doesn't happen, people will always die. "Li Tianxiao said.

"But..." Chu Qing shook her head, she was still quite uncomfortable.

"Where's your calmness?" Li Tianxiao looked at her seriously: "When will you have the kindness of a woman? Don't you want to avenge your master? You can't bear this little situation?"

Chu Qing's body shook, she shook her head and said, "...I see."

Li Tianxiao hummed, raised his hand, hesitated for a while, still held her hand on the stone table, held it, and released it calmly, but on his bronze skin, the tips of his ears were red , and quickly retracted: "It's good that you know. There are still many things to deal with, so don't let your emotions affect your judgment."

Chu Qing hummed, and was just about to ask Yu Kufeng how he was looking for, when he heard a knock on the courtyard door.

Chu Qing looked out, and when she saw that it was the housekeeper, she was surprised and stood up: "Steward Lu."

Steward Lu's face was very pale, he raised his head and glanced at Chu Qing, then at Li Tianxiao, walked over, and said, "I came here because I thought, since you already know most of it, Mr. Let me tell you everything. At least, Mr. Chu, you will probably remember them in the future, otherwise, I really don’t know, who will remember them in the future..."

Chu Qing was stunned for a while: "Housekeeper Lu..."

The butler smiled, but his eyes were filled with sadness: "Although I don't know your identity, Young Master Chu, I can tell that you are unusual, Young Master Chu..."

Chu lightly shook his head: "Butler, please sit down."

"You are probably the only one who can show such respect to me, Mr. Chu." The butler shook his head, stroked the stone table and sat down.

"Huh?" Chu Qing looked over.

"They all think that I betrayed the master and wanted to kill him... If the master wakes up, I will probably be sent to the government. However, this is the result I should get." The butler waved his hand, "But when I leave Before, I wanted to tell the young master this matter completely, at least, there will be people who will remember her and Da'er in the future. They are good people... they are all good people, but they are blinded by the enemy..."

After listening to what the housekeeper said, Chu Qing could only lament the injustice of fate.

Just like what the dumb woman said before, she and Lu Gui, Lu Gui's childhood sweetheart who was called Lu Ergou at the beginning, later worshiped heaven and earth in private and became husband and wife.Later, when Lu Gui went to the city to seek business, he was taken in by a merchant's daughter, so she decided to abandon his wife. At that time, it happened that the dumb woman was found pregnant, and having a child out of wedlock was a big deal for them.

So, the dumb woman sent someone to go to the city to inform Lu Ergou, but who knew that for the sake of glory and wealth, Lu Ergou turned his face against others and directly denied that he had worshiped heaven and earth. He was expelled by the villagers and hadn't soaked the pig cage yet.

It's just that she was so lucky that she didn't die, but she was disfigured and was rescued by the housekeeper at that time. The housekeeper was the housekeeper of the merchant at that time, and she signed a death contract. Afterwards, he naturally became the owner of that family, and even changed the mansion to Lu, and changed his name to Lu Gui.

The housekeeper didn't know that the person he saved had such a relationship with his master. He pitied the dumb woman, so he let her give birth to the child, and kept him in his home all the time. , he recognized the child as his adopted son and named him Lu Da.

He even took Lu Da to the Lu Mansion frequently, because no one suspected anything, so he stayed like this until Lu Da was eight or nine years old.

The Lu family suddenly prospered due to inexplicable reasons. The Lu family changed to a big house and naturally needed manpower. At that time, the dumb woman was reluctant to go out because of her disfigurement. She just hid in her room and took care of the housekeeping for the housekeeper. But it took a long time. However, I felt that I owed the housekeeper, so I thought of taking this opportunity to go to Lu's mansion to help with odd jobs.

During this trip, he never expected to see the master of the Lu Mansion... the one who caused her such misery!

So, in the next 20 years, the dumb woman planned all this, and even pulled her own son into it.

The butler didn't know about it at all, until it was hard to hide the matter, and the dumb woman told all of this, but at that time, Lu Da was also involved, and the butler really treated Lu Da as his own son, so he had to hide all this for Lu Da's sake , also became an accomplice.

As Chu Qing listened to the butler's narration of the past, it felt like a hole had opened in her heart, sour and astringent. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly, watching the old butler's staggering steps overnight, looking up. He rubbed his eyebrows with his hands.However, as soon as she moved, her hand was held. Surprised, Chu Qing raised her head and met Li Tianxiao's dark eyes, staring at her calmly: "So sad?"

Chu Qing withdrew her hand uncomfortably, shook her head and said, "It's just that I'm very emotional. After the housekeeper left, I guess when I see you next time, I don't know whether it will be in prison or far away from my homeland." I can't stay any longer.

But to Chu Qing's surprise, after Lu Gui woke up, he didn't report to the officials, and he didn't see the housekeeper again. Instead, someone gave him a sum of money and asked the housekeeper to leave Yuxiang Town.

Chu Qing went to see Lu Gui, and Lu Gui lingered on the couch, seeing Chu Qing, his face was haggard and pale, he coughed a few times, and the servant gave him some water before he stopped coughing.

"You all go down first." Lu Gui covered his mouth with a handkerchief and waved his hands to let people leave.

"Master Lu, are you okay?" Chu Qing stood three steps away from the couch and asked.

"No, Mr. Chu, do you think this old man looks good?" Lu Gui shook his head, raised his head, stared at Chu Qing, his eyes were filled with dead silence, as if he would die in the next moment, his hair was gray , it looked ten years older than when I first saw it.This kind of Lu Gui was within Chu Qing's expectations, but also beyond her expectations.

"It looks very bad. I heard that Master Lu let the housekeeper go?" Chu Qing asked.

"Yes." Lu Gui was startled, and nodded.

"Can I ask why?" Chu Qing was very curious about this. After all, in her opinion, Lu Gui was selfish and assertive. The only thing he lacked was sympathy. Otherwise, even if he had a little bit of sympathy back then, he would have It is impossible to watch my first wife being immersed in a pig cage while pregnant and remain indifferent.However, such a Lu Gui would actually release Steward Lu who helped the dumb woman, which was definitely beyond her prediction.

"...Old man, I regret it." He supported the head of the bed, and lay down little by little, his eyes wide open, but he stared blankly at the top of the bed, "The old man always thought that in the fishing town, the old man had money, With power, noble people to help, a capable son, a good daughter-in-law, and a sick but well-behaved biological son, but what the old man never expected was that all of this would happen overnight. Now, the old man is alone, the old man thought all night, the culprit, it turned out, was only because of the old man's mistake... These years, the old man also regretted it, but seeing the money that was filled into the warehouse day by day, the old man Being deceived, I feel that everything in this world is not as real as these yellow and white things. But Nian'er is dead, Xiaoyu is dead, and she is also dead... Another son that I don't know is also dead... Now, the old man I'm alone, really, I don't have the slightest nostalgia. So, why bother to add another wrong thing? Besides, the housekeeper has done a good job. I am an ungrateful and despicable villain, but...but...read They are not, they are all good children, why... should retribution be imposed on them? They are still young, and they still have a lot of good times..." Lu Gui broke down in tears at the end.
