Chapter 235: Death is Better
Chen Yuqian ignored the pulling of the illegitimate sons and daughters, and ignored their fists and kicks, and held old man Chen's neck tightly without letting go.
In the blink of an eye, his gray collar was stained red with blood.
Shen Jingxuan took a step forward in shock, staring at Chen Yuqian's hands closely.
Xie Lingxiao held her hand with a little force, pulled her back, and raised his hand to block her view.
The front hall, which was silent the moment before, was suddenly filled with cries, shouts, punches and kicks.
After Xie Lingxiao glanced at Ling Yu calmly, the chaotic noise finally stopped.
Chen Yuqian laughed out loud as she looked at Mr. Chen, whose face was pale due to continuous bleeding.
"Die, it's better to die, so that you can't hurt others again."
Chen Yuqian's hands were already stained with blood. She raised her hands high and looked at her bloody hands, as if she saw the most beautiful color, and she couldn't stop laughing.
The moment her vision returned, Shen Jingxuan saw a small piece of porcelain hidden between Chen Yuqian's raised fingers.
Also seen was Mrs. Chen who was holding on to her tightly.
She pointed at Chen Yuqian with a trembling hand and said, "You actually tried to murder the master, you little bitch, I'm going to beat you to death."
After saying that, Mrs. Chen grabbed Chen Yuqian's hair hard and slapped her in the face.
After a few slaps, Chen Yuqian's cheeks were already red and swollen.
Ling Yu glanced at his master, and seeing that he looked unhappy, he hurried forward to stop him.
He pushed Madam Chen aside and said, "If you don't keep quiet, I will beat you to death."
A group of unpresentable people actually fought in front of the prince and swore at the princess. Did they think they had lost their lives?
Chen Yuqian didn't care: "I am a little bitch? You are the bitch. You knew that the master was married and had children, but you still seduced him to climb into your bed."
"She didn't even want a name for him, and gave birth to his children for nothing. Not only did she become a joke in Ningcheng, but she even had the nerve to enter the mansion as a concubine."
"A lowly concubine like you can find a prostitute in any brothel who is better than you."
When Mrs. Chen heard what Chen Yuqian said, she was unable to refute for a moment and looked at Mr. Chen with grievance.
At this moment, Mr. Chen had no time to pay attention to her because he was bleeding from his neck.
The quarrel between Chen Yuqian and Madam Chen kept echoing in his ears, making him dizzy and almost fainting.
He looked at Chen Yuqian with vicious eyes, and regretted more and more that he had not listened to Madam Chen and sent her away with her mother.
Chen Yuqian felt a sudden chill down her spine when she saw his look.
After today, if Master Chen is not dead, he will never let me go easily.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuqian clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "Cousin, my grandmother is dead now, all because of him. It was also because he saw that my grandmother was getting worse day by day, so he asked me to write to you."
"He wants to use your status to get help from other families."
"She also gave me the scent of medicine. Everything was arranged by him in advance."
Xie Lingxiao said impatiently: "Tell her to shut up and kneel over there."
Ling Yu walked forward, pulled up Chen Yuqian, and threw her a little further away from Master Chen.
Chen Yuqian looked at Xie Lingxiao in surprise.
She thought that if she told the truth, Xie Lingxiao would personally deal with Master Chen.
Unexpectedly, not only did he ignore Mr. Chen, but he also told her to shut up.
Seeing that everything had returned to calm, Xie Lingxiao ordered Ling Yu to look after the people in the Chen Mansion and took Shen Jingxuan back to the Luofeng Temple.
Now he had to think carefully about how to deal with the Chen Mansion after his grandmother was buried.
He never knew that the Chen family had their own plans for him.
"Xuan'er, what do you think we should do with the Chen Mansion?" Xie Lingxiao asked.
Shen Jingxuan glanced at him and said nothing.
How could she say that? That was the person that Xie Lingxiao's grandmother had protected for half her life, and it was not her turn to make the decision.
"Axiao, it's up to you to decide." Shen Jingxuan said.
After a long silence, Xie Lingxiao remained silent.
Looking at his calm appearance, you can tell that he has already made up his mind.
The sun was shining brightly, and a breeze blew through the window, bringing a hint of coolness into the room.
After lunch, Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan took a walk in the yard.
The burial will be held tomorrow, and after it is over, they will set off back to the capital.
If you count carefully, they only have half a day to be alone, which they cherish especially.
"Ah Xiao, don't you want to go over to the Chen residence?"
After all, that person was his grandmother, and if she didn't show up, she was worried that people would gossip about her.
Xie Lingxiao's raised lips gradually recovered: "He's not an important person, so if you don't want to go, then don't go."
If it weren't for his mother, he wouldn't even call her grandma.
Xie Lingxiao felt bad when he thought about how she had devoted herself to the Chen family and ended up with her coffin being thrown into a mass grave.
How could the old lady treat someone who was not related to her by blood like this? How could she have the heart to do this to him? She didn't even allow him to see his mother for the last time.
They all say that blood relatives are the closest, but in their eyes, who are the closest relatives?
"Go and take a look, just think of it as seeing her off on behalf of your mother," said Shen Jingxuan.
Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with the old lady, death is like the extinguishing of a lamp, and the past becomes nothing but a cloud of smoke.
Xie Lingxiao should let go of the past and just look to the future.
"Okay." Xie Lingxiao responded.
He knew that Shen Jingxuan didn't want to give other people the opportunity to gossip about her because of this matter.
But what he didn't say was that since he had Shen Jingxuan, the past was no longer so important in his heart.
Even the wounds left in his heart when his mother passed away seemed to have been healed through his time with Shen Jingxuan.
Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingxuan with a gentle expression. As long as she was with him, no matter what happened, she would not stay in his heart.
After he met Shen Jingxuan, his heart and eyes were filled with her, as if there was no room for other people or things.
"Let's go." Shen Jingxuan took the initiative to hold Xie Lingxiao's hand and pulled him towards the Chen Mansion.
The two walked slowly on the street, occasionally smiling at each other, feeling that the years were peaceful.
As regents, they cannot leave the capital for long as all their relatives and friends are there.
The pressure of life prevents them from doing what they want.
Just wait until there is some time in the future, to be as relaxed and comfortable as today.
The gate of Chen's mansion was deserted. Apart from the servant guarding the gate, there was no one else.
The two of them arrived at the front hall without any obstruction.
At this moment in the front hall, just as the two had left, everyone was kneeling in front of the old lady's coffin.
Ling Yu stood there expressionlessly, and the entire front hall was unusually quiet.
Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao stood at the door, looking at the scene in the front hall, and did not move forward another step.
Let the person the old lady has protected for half her life keep vigil for her, so that at least the dead can rest in peace.
There were chaotic footsteps behind them, and Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao looked at the person who came.
I saw the doorman walking quickly towards me. He looked anxious and a little flustered.
