Chai Xian did not answer immediately. After a moment of thinking, he said, ‘
“My parents died when I was young. I had no one to rely on and begged in Xiang Zhou for a living. Later on, foster father adopted me. He treated me extremely well, even more so than his own son. Thus, my three brothers all hate me, they loathe me. ‘
only Xiao LAN treated me sincerely and never looked down on me because of my past …
At this point, Chai Xian was in a daze for a moment, as if he had returned to many years ago, in the hot summer, when the dirty and smelly little beggar was brought back to the chai Manor. The girl hiding behind the screen poked her head out and looked at him quietly. Their eyes met, and he lowered his head in inferiority.
The young girl smiled brightly.
Xu Qi ‘an was dazed for a moment as he listened to Chai Xian’s story. He thought of Wei Yuan.
Back then, Empress Shangguan was like a bright ray of light that shone into Wei Yuan’s bitter youth.
“That day, after dinner, a servant in the residence said that foster father wanted to see me. I know it’s because of Xiao LAN. Before this, we had several disputes because of Xiao Lan’s marriage.
“I loved Xiao LAN and wanted my foster father to marry her to me. However, my foster father felt that I was a member of the chai Manor and was destined to serve the chai Manor. Xiao Lan’s marriage to me will only add flowers to a brocade, and a marriage alliance with the Huangfu clan is more in line with the clan’s interests.”
“That’s not wrong,” the orange cat an chuckled.
Chai Xian’s eyes dimmed as he continued,
after I sent the servants away, I went to see my foster father. Halfway through. I noticed the sounds of fighting in my foster father’s room, so I hurried over …
“I was one step too late. When I arrived, my foster father had already been killed in the room, and the murderer was nowhere to be found. I was mournful and angry. At this time, my aunt arrived with the clansmen.
“She and her clansmen didn’t say anything and accused me of killing my foster father. They also wanted to clean up the house. I tried to explain, but they were indifferent. Helplessly, I could only summon the iron corpse and kill my way out of Chai Manor.
“Although I didn’t kill my foster father, my hands were indeed stained with the blood of many Chai family disciples that night. After escaping from Xiang Zhou city, I hid here to recuperate. That family received my grace and was willing to believe me all along. They didn’t believe that I was the murderer because of the rumors outside.”
“Did you kidnap Xiao LAN?” an interrupted.
Chai Xian shook his head. after the incident, I was worried about Xiao LAN. I sneaked back to the chai residence but didn’t find her. After interrogating the servants in the chai residence, I found out that she had disappeared on the night of my foster father’s death. I suspect that she’s in grave danger.”
The orange cat an’s heart moved, “you sneaked into the basement to find Xiao LAN?”
Chai Xian nodded his head, his eyes filled with joy.”l didn’t find her.”
“In Zhangzhou, who is the murderer who committed murder and refined corpses?” an asked again.
