499 Family Heritage (2/2)

At this point in time, a large group of them had arrived in the baby's room. The old man in front was Tantai Guijing. He had a cold look on his face and was awe-inspiring.

”Are you guys blind? I am trying to kill him!”

Qiu Liang was restrained. She appeared crazed for a moment before started to sob. ”Ashang, Ashang was killed by him! All of you have seen how pitifully Ashang had died. His eyes were even dug out of his corpse! This child's eyes are different! This is why Ashang's eyes were dug out!”

”Rubbish! Ashang was obviously...”

Tantai Guijing sounded strict at first but as he spoke to the end of the sentence, his voice started to soften.

”Forget about it. This woman is crazy. Bring her to the patriarchal hall and lock her up!”

After a long while, another voice was heard.

”All of you... will die!”

Fang Yuan was being carried by another servant as he looked into Qiu Liang's eyes.

Her eyes were filled with hatred and vengeance, turning her otherwise beautiful look into a demonic one. The servant carrying Fang Yuan started to shake in fear.

”Do you think he can really resist against the curse? No! That is impossible! The Tantai Family is a cursed one and there is nothing we can do about it. The introduction of a new force will only lead all of you to your deaths!”

Qiu Liang frantically screamed and cursed everyone on the scene like a poisonous snake spitting its venom at its prey. ”I hate you! I hate all of you! If not for Ashang, why would I even be married into your family, destroying my future?”

”Something's not right!”

She started to struggle and grabbed the red pair of scissors on the floor. Seeing this, Tantai Guijing quickly screamed. ”Stop her! She wants to...”

”All of you, die!”

As she screamed, Qiu Liang suddenly rushed towards the female servant carrying Fang Yuan with a great force.

”Chi!”

Blood spewed everywhere!

The bloodstained Fang Yuan's face, spreading a metallic smell everywhere.

”How could... how could it be?”

Qiu Liang gazed at the female servant who had the scissors pierced through her neck before looking down.

At her chest, a sharp knife was protruding out, stained with the blood of her own.

”Pa!”

The female servant fell to the ground and Fang Yuan fell towards the ground as well before being caught firmly by another pair of hands.

”Let's get out of here! Get some servants to clear up the corpses.”

Fang Yuan realised that it was his own father, Tantai Juexin who had killed Qiu Liang from behind her! Composed, he kept his dagger and ordered the servants around.

”Argh...”

Qiu Liang, who was lying on the ground, was still trying to struggle. Blood flowed out from her mouth and it was an unforgettable scene for all of those who had witnessed her emotion-filled face.

”Do I represent... inauspiciousness?”

Fang Yuan was a little confused as he felt a chill vibe in his heart.

Unknowingly, the red pair of scissors on Qiu Liang's hands seem to be a bright red due to it being stained by blood.

”Father, how should we deal with it?”

After clearing the scene, Tantai Juexin looked towards Tantai Guijing.

”As usual, but we have to strengthen the defences of the family. Otherwise, she will come into contact with that 'thing'!”

Tantai Guijing bent over and forcefully pried open Qiu Liang's fingers to pick up the scissors in her hands. ”Nobody shall leak the events of today. Otherwise, I will deal with them according to the family rules. Is that understood.”

”Yes!”

Everyone around nodded their heads. However, they still could not wipe off the fear in their eyes. They were all perplexed as they looked towards Fang Yuan.

He was a true sign of inauspiciousness!

As Fang Yuan was being carried away, he took one last look at the lady on the ground.

It might be his own hallucination, but her fingers seemed to be... moving!

...

The seasons went by.

It had already been a few years.

Fang Yuan was now 5 years old. He was like an invisible person in the Tantai Family.

Although he was given the best food and accommodation and no one dared to oppose him, no other kids of the same age were willing to play with him.

Even the servants feared him, even though Fang Yuan did nothing.

His biological mother, Su Xin, had also intentionally distanced herself from Fang Yuan and they had a weak relationship.

In the past 5 years, Fang Yuan had discovered many weird things.

For instance, after a certain period of time, there would always be a member of this family who would inexplicably die, and the rest of the family would treat it as a norm.

Every time he examined their corpses, he could tell that they did not die of natural causes.

”Curse, so they say...”

After gathering all his experiences for the past few years, Fang Yuan could roughly figure out what was going on with this family.

”The Tantai Family has been cursed and everyone cannot escape from it... After a certain period of time, there will always be a death! No wonder this family had decided to live in seclusion. Otherwise, they would surely scare their neighbours.”

Although Fang Yuan had no forms of entertainment in the past 5 years, he could still bear it.

Furthermore, he was not afraid of displaying his wisdom at a young age.

Even though he might appear gloomy and depressed like a matured person, no one would suspect anything.

After all, he was the greatest anomaly in the family!
