Chu Ye opened the door and said with a smile: "Aunt Du, mother is still a little uncomfortable, so stay in the room first, and I will go there with you first."
"Is Sister Shi not feeling well again?" Du Runiang looked worried, "How about this, I'll stay and take care of her, you go alone first."
"Alright." Chu Ye nodded and agreed without hesitation.
However, when she stepped out of the room, Du Runiang stepped into the room, and the two passed by each other, a thought suddenly flashed through Chu Ye's mind, so that he immediately stopped and froze in place.
Lu Shi's poisoning must have been caused by people around her. She suspected all the maids, guards, and cooks in the yard, but only one person was not suspected, and that was Du Runiang.
Just because she is Xiaodong's mother.
Xiaodong is so pure, kind, and subconsciously, Chu Ye also thinks that Du Runiang, who can teach such a pure-minded son, will also be a good person with a pure heart, just like Xiaodong.
However, in the past, every time Chu Ye left home for practice, he would go there for dozens of days, or even several months. At that time, Lu Shi never had any abnormal symptoms.
This time, as soon as she left, Lu Shi was poisoned the next day. The only difference between the family situation and the past was that there was an extra Du Runiang.
This made Chu Ye have no choice but to start dragging Du Runiang into the blacklist of suspicion.
"Aunt Du!" Thinking of this, Chu Ye turned his head abruptly, only to see Du Runiang holding Lu Shi's hand and asking for warmth with a smile on his face.
"Lili, what's the matter?" Seeing that Chu Ye suddenly turned around and called out to him loudly, Du Runiang was startled and her eyes flickered.
Chu Ye strode up to Du Runiang, then grabbed Du Runiang's hands, removed Du Runiang's hands from Lu Shi's without a trace, and said with a smile: "Aunt Du, thank you for treating my mother all these days. Come on, come with me to my room, I got a lot of gold, silver, pearls and jade this time, Aunt Du, just go and pick out the ones you like."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but drag Du Runiang towards the door. Secretly, with a flip of his palm, a transparent innate protective barrier had been cast on Lu Shi's skin.
With this enchantment, no one below innate can hurt Lu Shi.
"Okay, your child is really filial." Du Runiang smiled happily.
It's just that there was a faintly strange smile on the corner of his mouth, which was a weird sneer of a successful plot.
It's a pity that at this time Chu Ye turned his back to her, and she turned his back to Lu Shi, no one saw her serious smile.
After exchanging pleasantries with Du Runiang, Chu Ye went to Huanjue's room.
Huancheng, Huanjing, Huan Qiye and others were all there, and Huan Jue was already sitting cross-legged on the bed, with his eyes lightly closed, his complexion improved a lot, and he seemed to be working hard.
"Chu Ye, father has already woken up." Huancheng immediately went up to meet Chu Ye and said, "It's just that I've been awake for too long, and my body is still a little out of control. I'm afraid I have to rest for a while."
Huancheng's voice seemed to startle Huanjue who was meditating with his eyes closed, he slowly opened his eyes, he actually has a pair of amber eyes, deep and gloomy, as if he could suck your whole body in just by looking at it.
Chu Ye could clearly feel that Huan Jue looked behind her, as if expecting to see someone, seeing Chu Ye coming alone, there was a slight loss deep in his eyes.
"You are Chu Ye?" Huan Jue's voice was low and melodious, which is unique to middle-aged men, but it was cold, as if it came from the bones.
"Yes, we met before." Chu Ye was a little puzzled, hearing Huanjue's tone as if he didn't know her.
"At that time, the soul was weak, and the vision was not clear, so I could only vaguely see it." Huanjue answered Chu Ye's question with a word, and then turned his head to look at Huancheng and the others beside him, and said, "Go down first, I want to talk to Chu Ye alone."
"Yes, Patriarch (Father)!" Huancheng, Huanjing, and Huan Qiye saluted and left without any hesitation.
It can be seen that on weekdays, the prestige of Magic Jue is quite high.
Yanyan, Xiaoyin, and Xiaojin were still standing there, curious, Chu Ye cast a reproachful look, and the three of them immediately stuck out their tongues, and then flew up into the sky from the window with a 'swoosh' sound.
When these three live treasures gather together, there are a lot of spooky ideas, and now they fly out, and it is unknown where and who will be unlucky for no reason.
"Sit!" Huanjue stretched out his hand with difficulty, and made a gesture of invitation.
His body had been sleeping for too long, even though Lu Shi gave him daily massages, many important joints were still stiff.
"Uncle Huanjue..." Chu Ye sat down opposite Huanjue, "You don't mind if I call you Uncle Huanjue?"
"Of course not." Huanjue's expression was indifferent, and the coldness on his face was exactly the same as that of Huancheng.
"Hehe, that's good." Chu Ye couldn't help being a little cold.
There was a slander in my heart, I had never seen Huanjue smile at her since the moment I entered the door, his face was indifferent and indifferent, as expected, like a father, like a son, Huancheng's coldness is not without reason.
"Thank you!" Huanjue pondered for a moment, and suddenly said with great caution: "Thank you for taking care of Huancheng, thank you for helping me find life fruit and soul melting grass, I am really grateful, from now on, if you have something to do, my whole Fifty-eight thousand members of the Huan family are available for you to send!"
"It's serious, there is really no need to be so polite." Huanjue suddenly said these words of gratitude to her so seriously, which made Chuye feel uncomfortable.
But she didn't know that in the future, she would really use Huanjue's words today.
Seeing that Huanjue stopped talking suddenly, Chu Ye couldn't help asking: "You left me alone, you just want to tell me these things, don't you have anything else to say?"
"Yes!" Huan Jue seemed to have made a big decision, then raised his eyes to Chu Ye's, and said seriously: "Where is your mother, why didn't she come to see me?"
Chu Ye laughed, it seems that in terms of feelings, this old man Huanjue is much braver and more straightforward than the son of Huancheng, after a pause, he said: "My mother... will not see you now."
"Why?" Huanjue looked puzzled.
When he was sleeping, she came to accompany him every day, but now that he was awake, she refused to see him, he couldn't figure it out.
"Firstly, my mother was recently framed by an adulterer, and she was poisoned with chronic poison. She lost a lot of weight, which affected her beautiful appearance. She doesn't want you to see her so indecent. Secondly..." Speaking of which, Chu Ye suddenly stopped.
When Huan Jue heard this, he became anxious, and he didn't care about what Chu Ye had to say, and quickly asked: "Did the traitor be caught? Is she okay now? Is it just that she has lost weight? It's okay." Ah, I'm not a superficial person who judges people by their cover."
"The culprit has not been found out yet. I have cast an innate protective barrier on my mother. I believe that no one will be able to hurt her. The poison on her body has also been removed by me. Don't worry, there is no serious problem." Chu Ye looked at it. The worry about making a magic trick came from the bottom of my heart, and I couldn't help feeling a little relieved, it seems that my mother didn't just shave her head and pick her head.
"Looking at your words just now, it seems that there are other concerns?" Huanjue said.
"Yes." Chu Ye nodded solemnly, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Secondly, we don't know anything about your situation and thoughts, Uncle Huanjue, my mother, she doesn't want to be abrupt and embarrass everyone , it didn’t end well.”
"It turns out that she is the one who is careful and considerate." Huan Jue sighed heavily, and began to tell Chu Ye the past that he felt was necessary for Lu Shi and Chu Ye to know.
It turns out that Huanjue has outstanding talent since he was a child, but he has an indifferent personality. He doesn't particularly like or dislike people and things in the world.
When he was 20 years old, he accepted a family-style political marriage as a matter of course, and married "Ting Danman", a daughter of the Ting family who was comparable to the Huan family.
At first, Huanjue didn't think there was anything wrong with it, anyway, he married anyone, but as time went on, Ting Danman's nature gradually revealed, domineering, violent, jealous, wanting everything Having defeated others, she still wants to tame Huanjue into a little man who obeys her, obeys her, obeys her, and only hangs around her skirt every day.
For Huan Jue, who is indifferent but very independent, and has his own ambitions and ideals, this is absolutely intolerable, let alone acceptable.
So, I never particularly hated a fantasy between people and things, and began to hate Tindenman gradually. As Tindenman's nature was exposed more, his dislike deepened. In the end, he couldn't even look at it. Don't want to take a look at Tin Danman.
But Ting Danman conceived Huancheng on the night of her wedding, and gave birth to Huanjue, the eldest son and grandson of Huanjue. Huancheng was too young and needed a mother.
But since that night, Huanjue has never met Tingdanman again. The two lived apart for 18 years and met each other like strangers. Huanjue can only use his actual actions to tell Tingdanman, no one can think about it around him.
But Ting Danman has never given up, and she can't control the Huanjue, so she will control the entire Huanjia. Secretly, she cultivates her own power day and night, and uses various means to tie up the upper-level figures of the Huanjia, so that they can't do it one by one. Don't surrender at her feet, listen to her mercy.
It's a pity that Huanjue focused all his attention on cultivation, and didn't pay much attention to the fact that his family's power was declining day by day. By the time he found out, it was already the day when he was about to become a god.
So, he wrote a letter of divorce, a letter of divorce from his wife that expelled Tin Danman from the Huanjia, and he would never be able to step into the Huanjia again.
Only after he becomes a god will he be announced to the public.
At that time, with his god-level strength, the Ting family dare not say a word.
Unexpectedly, Ting Danman had long expected that Huan Jue would do such a thing after becoming a god, so on the surface, he stood still, but in secret, he always paid attention to Huan Jue, and explored where Huan Jue would hit the road to becoming a god.
In the end, she really found out.
When Huanjue was about to become a god, and she couldn't bear the slightest disturbance, she made a shameless attack and sneaked up.
Huancheng had already talked to Chu Ye about the latter matter, if Huancheng hadn't snatched Huanjue's body in time at that time, Ting Danman would have smashed Huanjue into thousands of pieces.
After hearing all this, Chu Ye let out a long sigh, the marriage between Huanjue and Ting Danman was so similar to her wealthy parents in her previous life.
Both parties hate each other, but they are bound by the so-called family marriage rope and have to be together. One year, ten years, and twenty years go on, which delays the other party and even delays themselves.
"Now you should understand, I am free, without a wife, let alone a concubine." Huanjue emphasized this point again as if to prove something.
Chu Ye shrugged, and said: "It's the best. In theory, one of you divorced your wife and the other divorced your husband. If you get together, it's a perfect match. However, Uncle Huanjue has a sentence, I must ask : How do you feel about my mother? If it's gratitude or pity, I'll be the first to object. Because marriage is definitely based on love, and both parties can be happy."
"I know my feelings best. This, I think I should confess to her, not your daughter." Huanjue said seriously: "I know you are a very smart, courageous and independent girl, But your mother is too gentle and submissive, which lacks your straightforwardness and courage, but feelings don't mean that whoever is strong will win, and whoever is weak will lose. The matter between me and her, you Just let me and the two of them do it by ourselves, and I will protect your mother from now on."
"Uh..." For the first time in his life, Chu Ye was so burped by a long speech that he couldn't speak a word.
Ginger, sure enough, is still old and spicy.
It seems that her new father is a character who can make her speechless, and she has no choice but to nod in agreement, unable to utter a word of rebuttal.
"But...but you have never seen my mother..." Chu Ye was still a little worried.
Since she came to this world, she has always shouldered the responsibility of protecting Lu Shi. Now, Huanjue suddenly said that this burden will be borne by him, and she always feels empty and uncomfortable.
Huanjue said: "Who said I haven't seen it? That day I was able to meet and talk with you out of my body, and of course I will occasionally come out to see your mother in the future."
However, every time he would leave his body while Lu Shi was lying on his bedside and fell asleep, because he was afraid of frightening her, and he was even more worried that she would never come to him to wipe his body and give him a massage because he was afraid. A, comb his hair, talk to him about your heart...
"But you said that the soul is weak and you can't see clearly..." Chu Ye continued to look for reasons.
"That's just for other people and things. For the people I like, my soul's vision is better than my eyes." Huanjue didn't back down, and he didn't know if it was true or he was arguing.
"But..." Chu Ye wanted to continue thinking about the reason.
"Okay, don't be so cute anymore." Huanjue showed a smile from the elder to the younger at this moment, and said: "Even if your mother is with me in the future, her love for you will not be reduced by half. , it’s mother nature.”
"Who said this is what I care about..." Chu Ye still wanted to die, but looked at Huan Jue's deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, and finally had to obediently admit it, "Okay, you are cruel, see Come on, my mother's eyes really have nothing to say."
It's just that compared to Huancheng, this Huanjue is much more powerful in terms of cultivation, manner, speech, and handling of affairs. Chu Ye couldn't help being a little worried, not knowing that her gentle and gentle mother could hold him!
The conversation between the two parties has reached here, and it should be over. Huanjue just woke up, and the most important thing he needs to do is to use the magic power in his body to digest and absorb all the effects of the life fruit and the soul melting grass as soon as possible, so that his body can recover as soon as possible. .
But when Chuye turned to leave, he stopped suddenly, took out an ordinary-looking platinum ring from his arms, and asked Huanjue: "Uncle Huanjue, I want to see what's inside this space ring. There is something, but it is at the level of a sacred weapon, and it has been recognized by blood, so I can't see it, do you have any other methods?"
Once a space ring at the level of a sacred object is recognized by a drop of blood, only by killing its owner can outsiders see or obtain the contents inside.
Back then on Poppy Island, Chu Ye received two rings full of treasures, the Red Poppy and the Green Poppy, precisely because the Red Poppy and the Green Poppy had been killed, and the space ring had no owner, so she could naturally watch and take it.
But the owner of this ring, she must not kill before she finds out the truth of the matter.
"You stole this ring?" Huanjue took a brief look at the ring, and said nothing.
Immediately, she began to reprimand bitterly: "Girl, why don't you learn well? If your mother knows about this, it may be so sad. Fortunately, she kept praising you in front of me for how sensible you are, how... Your filial piety, it seems that I have to help your mother and discipline you strictly... "
"Stop!" Chu Ye suddenly felt black lines all over his head, "Dear Uncle Huan Jue, I, Chu Ye, never steal anything." Whatever I want, I just grab it.
Of course, Chu Ye didn't dare to say the last sentence.
Huanjue has not yet become her father, but he has started to teach her as her father, God, I am afraid that her life will be difficult in the future.
"Really, then where did this ring come from?" Huanjue still had a serious look of "I am the elder, I want to get to the bottom of your matter".
"Don't worry about it, just tell me if there is any other way to see it." Chu Ye is one head and two elders. Compared with the foolish Lu Shi, this stepfather is really too difficult to deal with. Wanting to continue to get to the bottom of it, Chu Ye hurriedly said again: "It's about my mother being poisoned, please tell me, Uncle Huanjue."
Sure enough, when Huanjue heard this, he stopped asking hard questions, and instead eagerly taught: "It is impossible to peek at a sacred-level interspatial ring that has been dripped with blood and recognized its master. This is only for people of the witch-sage level. With the strength of the witch fairy level, you can look at the things in this ring at will, and even take it at will. Although I have the strength of the peak senior innate witch fairy, but I still can't use it. You go to Uncle Magic Mirror, he is a senior An innate wizard, he can do it."
"Thank you!" Chu Ye thanked happily, and before the words fell, he had disappeared into the room.
Huanjue shook his head helplessly, and he couldn't help but feel greatly puzzled in his heart, how could such a gentle and gentle woman like Lu Shi raise such a resolute and powerful daughter
Puzzling.
As soon as Chu Ye left the house, he found the magic mirror and asked him to take out all the things inside to have a look.
What shocked Chu Ye was that there were a large amount of food, clothing, and a large amount of gold and silver treasures stored in it, enough for one person to eat, drink, wear, and spend without worrying for a lifetime.
These are nothing, the magic mirror finally took out a batch of things, which made Chuye's blood flow backwards, his eyes were instantly congested, a monstrous anger of being deceived, played by others, and framed by others swept across him in an instant. Every nerve in her body.
