Bi Zhenye had not been in the capital for the past few days, and had not seen Ling Yu nor his parents. The only thing his family knew was that he had gone out to find him, perhaps no one would have thought that he was following someone from the Ministry Of Justice to find his family's servants.
Because of his identification, he had very smoothly found the woman who had once served his mother. He did not know how to explain this to his sister. She would definitely feel that he had gone mad.
Seeing Hanxi crying so hard, he could only say: ”Hanxi, your second brother has already let mother go once, it was mother who is not willing to let them go. If someone gave you poison, causing you to miscarry, if someone gave you poison, causing your mother to die, your brother wouldn't be able to vent his anger even if he killed his enemy with his own hands. He's done his best for us. ”
”But that's our mother, brother …” Let's go beg the Brother Xingye again. ” Hanxi knew that it was useless, but she could only plead for help.
”Hanxi, stay at home with Grandma and take care of her. Leave the rest to brother.” Bi Zhenye wiped away his sister's tears. His gentle smile could not hide his exhaustion, ”Go back to your room, the sky will not fall.”
He left his sister and went straight to the main courtyard. When the servants saw the eldest young master, they all hoped that he would be able to resolve the current predicament. One of them said to him, ”The lord is in the study, while the madame is alone in her room.”
Bi Zhenye nodded, pushed open the door, and ordered the servants who were waiting in the room to step down, and walked over to his mother's bedside.
Mrs. Bi opened his eyes and saw his son.
”Mother, have you eaten dinner?” Bi Zhenye asked.
Mrs. Bi, on the other hand, retracted his gaze from his son's face. He hadn't seen her son for the past few days, and the servant said that the eldest young master had gone out. He didn't know what the others were thinking, but Mrs. Bi was clear that his biological son had gone to the countryside to look for someone.
”You saw her?” Mrs. Bi asked.
Bi Zhenye understood that his mother had already guessed it.
”I saw it and I asked.” Bi Zhenye knelt beside the bed, ”Mother, I would like to ask you one last thing, why did you kill the industry's mother?”
”Why don't you ask me, did I kill him?” The Mrs. Bi laughed miserably, ”If I say no, would you believe me?”
Bi Zhenye nodded: ”I believe you, but I do not wish for mother to lie to me.”
”If I don't kill her, she will.” Mrs. Bi's eyes were ferocious, filled with hatred, ”She always acts so haughty in front of me, as if she's the proper wife. She's only the daughter of a county magistrate, how can she compare to me? She is not as beautiful as me, not as good-natured as me, not as good as me, and your father doesn't like her at all. But just because she was her original wife and her first wife, she was able to step me beneath her feet. ”
”Mother …”
”Zhenye, do you know what a concubine is? A concubine is no different from a servant, she can't even be considered half a master. Mrs. Bi grabbed his son's arm, ”I am the daughter of the Marquis, how can I be someone else's servant? You are clearly the older brother, yet you still carry the title of a concubine. Zhenye, Mother did it for you, I am … ”
She started coughing and was unable to catch her breath. Bi Zhenye quickly helped her mother up, but he remained cold and didn't say anything.
”Do you think that Mother is shirking her responsibilities?” Mrs. Bi said.
”No.” The young man smiled faintly and said, ”Mom had taken the wrong path from the beginning, but now you won't be able to listen to any of the truths that have been said. You will only deviate from the right path, and walk further and further away.”
”So you want to exterminate your parents and find a witness to testify against your mother?” Mrs. Bi stared at her son in pain. ”Mother painstakingly gave birth to you and raised you, in exchange for this kind of ending?”
Bi Zhenye shook his head: ”It's not that my son annihilated his family, it's because mother deserves it. As for me, I only hope that Hanxi and my future children can honestly grow up, and not be like us, who suddenly have to face the fault of our parents and our ancestors one day. ”
Mrs. Bi's eyes were filled with hatred, as he clenched his teeth and stared at his son.
Bi Zhenye said with tears in his eyes: ”You took the wrong path from the very beginning, look, even if the industry lets you go, you still crazily want to make them disappear. If you don't get punished this time, the next time, even more innocent people will die in your hands. Mother, you killed two people, did you know that you killed another person? ”
”So what …” Mrs. Bi looked at his son with trembling eyes.
”Yeah, so what?” Bi Zhenye stood up and said to his mother, ”In a few days, you will know what to do.”
