"Miss Biao, it's my father's fault to raise him or not." Even after seeing Murong's resolute attitude, Chen Haozhang was not willing to give up because of this, "It's because of me that they do such a thing. Also, It was I who promised Chen Liuli to help deal with you. It was I who forced brothers Jie Er and Xiang Er to do this, and I was the culprit."
"Master, don't say it anymore." Luoya took Chen Haozhang's hand and pleaded in a low voice, "I beg you, don't say it anymore."
Up to now, she didn't want to take her husband in before she rescued her two sons. She is in a state of confusion now, and she doesn't know what to do. It would be great if they hadn't met Murong Qingyan in the beginning!
Chen Haozhang ignored Luoya, but still looked at Murong's face, his eyes were full of pleading.
"You don't need to beg me anymore." Murong said indifferently, "I'm not a virgin, and I can't repay those stupid things with virtue. Since they did such a thing, they should pay the corresponding price for it."
"Miss Biao—" Chen Haozhang still didn't give up even when he saw Murong Qingyan's resolute attitude.
"Okay, I've already said it, I can't be merciful." Murong's eyes were quenched as if they were iced, and he looked directly at Chen Haozhang, "I don't care about you, I've already done my best. If you still Continue to entangle here, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Murong Qingyan's cold eyes made Chen Haozhang's words choked in his throat, and he couldn't say anything. He knelt there dumbfounded, his eyes confused, and his heart was full of sadness.
Luoya and Chen Wenyao probably saw that Murong Qingyan couldn't easily change his mind, so they didn't say anything, they helped Chen Haozhang and left Qiwuyuan.
Under the eyes, the backs of these three people looked particularly desolate and sad.
After Chen Haozhang and the others left, Murong Qingyan didn't say anything. He held the teacup in his hand but didn't drink it. The whole person seemed to be caught in some thoughts.
"Yan'er, your heart is messed up." Huangfu Jue stretched out his hand, took the cup in Murong Qingyan's hand, put it on the table, then touched Murong Qingyan's hand, and said softly, "You still suffer from them. influence.”
All Huangfu Jue's thoughts were placed on Murong Qingyan's body, and he naturally couldn't be more clear about Murong Qingyan's every move. Looking at Murong Qingyan's actions at this time, he already knew it.
"You can see it." Murong Qingyan was not surprised by Huangfu Jue's understanding of herself, she sighed and said, "I really don't want to forgive the things Chen Xiangjie and Chen Xiangxiang did. However, Chen Haozhang just took all the responsibility on himself for the sake of his two sons, which surprised me a lot."
For a long time, she felt that Chen Haozhang was a person who secretly wanted to achieve his goals, unscrupulously. It turns out that she was right. In the past, Chen Haozhang made good friends with her for the sake of profit. Later, afraid of being implicated, he hurriedly drew a line with her. After her identity is announced, she wants to get close. All this shows that Chen Haozhang is an out-and-out villain.
However, she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw what Chen Haozhang did to his two sons. Such a selfish person can still sacrifice his own life for his children.
Chen Haozhang knew in his heart that if the murder of her really had to be settled, then grandfather would not leave his life behind. But even so, Chen Haozhang took all the responsibilities without hesitation.
"Have you softened your heart?" Huangfu Jue looked at Murong and said lightly, "Are you touched?"
"Yeah." Murong nodded and nodded, then she got up, came directly to Huangfu Jue's side, sat down on Huangfu Jue's lap, then stretched out her hand, put her head around Huangfu Jue's neck, and rested her head on Huangfu Jue's side. On his chest, "Jue, even a person like Chen Haozhang is willing to lose his life for his own child. You said, if my father was there, would he do better than Chen Haozhang? "
Indeed, after seeing Chen Haozhang's actions today, she was deeply touched. This reminded her of her father in her previous life, the father who drove her to death. At the same time, she thought of Murong Xizhao, the father of her life. If it was Murong Xizhao, would it be better than Chen Haozhang
After hearing Murong Qingyan's words, Huangfu Jue was stunned for a moment, he stretched out his hand, gently stroked Murong Qingyan's hair, and said warmly, "Don't worry! Your father will be fine, I believe he is also waiting. I want you to find him."
"Yeah." Murong murmured in a low voice, "Je, do you think I should let Chen Xiangjie and Chen Xiangxiang go?"
For the things that Chen Xiangjie and Chen Xiangxiang have done, she is not willing to let it go so easily. Just like Chen Liuli, she will not allow factors that threaten her to exist. However, Chen Xiangjie and Chen Xiangxiang were not behind the scenes, so she left the matter to her grandfather.
When my grandfather knew what she had gone through, he was furious. He would definitely not let Chen Xiangjie and Chen Xiangxiang's brothers go easily. However, after seeing Chen Haozhang's performance now, she has some other thoughts in her heart.
"Then do what you think in your heart!" Huangfu Jue said lightly, "No matter what decision you make, I will support you."
Although he does not agree with Murong Qingyan's soft-heartedness, as long as it is the decision made by Murong Qingyan, he will not object.
Murong Qingyan sighed softly and shook her head, "I still need to think about this matter."
"Yeah." Huangfu Jue lowered her head and kissed Murong Qingyan's swirl.
Chen Haozhang and others who returned to the guest house were heartbroken. Today's intercession, they did not achieve the original purpose. In other words, they have no way to think about it now. Chen Xiangjie and Chen Xiangxiang may really not be able to escape this disaster.
Three days later, the disposal of Chen Xiangjie and Chen Xiangxiang also came out. This time, the head of the family did not kill them, but just eliminated all of their family from the Chen family, which means that they will no longer be members of the Chen family, not even collateral.
After hearing such news, Chen Haozhang and others were ecstatic. Although they were kicked out of the Chen family, their future life may become more difficult, but Chen Xiangjie and Chen Xiangxiang saved a life, which is enough.
Inside the lobby—
Looking at Murong's face sitting below, Chen Shanghua's eyes were full of pride, to have such an outstanding granddaughter was something he could never dream of. His daughter has been sleeping for so many years, but after many years, this granddaughter was sent. Maybe this is God's compensation for him!
In addition to Murong Qingyan and Huangfu Jue, the people sitting in the front hall at this time were Chen Shanghua and the three elders. In addition, there are Chen Shanghua's three sons, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. It is rare that so many people gather here today.
Looking at the familiar or unfamiliar faces sitting there, Murong Qingyan remained calm. It's been so long since she returned to the Chen family, and today is the first time that there are such people together. Although it was said that she specially asked her to recognize people today, she also knew in her heart that what her grandfather did was to let her roughly check the qualifications of these people.
"Cough cough!" After Chen Shanghua cleared his throat, he glanced at the people below, and then said, "The purpose of calling everyone here today must be clear to you. It's not too long before you come back. , let's get to know each other well today!"
When the people present looked at Murong, their expressions varied, some were curious, some were jealous, some were disdainful. However, no matter what kind of thoughts those people have in their hearts, on the surface they are still happy.
Chen Shanghua continued, "Boss, come up with your family first!"
After hearing Chen Shanghua's instructions, one of the middle-aged men sitting below stood up, the beautiful woman sitting beside him, and the men and women standing behind him also stepped forward.
After Chen Shanghua looked at Murong Qingyan, he introduced, "Qingyan, this is your eldest uncle Chen Ruixing and your aunt Lin Nilan."
Chen Ruixing and Lin Nilan smiled at Murong, expressing their friendliness. However, the disdain in the eyes of the two of them showed that their mouths were wrong. Obviously, they didn't have much affection for this niece who suddenly appeared, but because of Chen Shanghua's majesty, they had to express their friendliness.
Murong Qingyan naturally saw Chen Ruixing and Lin Nilan's disdain, but she didn't care too much, she still said with a smile, "Uncle, aunt."
"Really a good boy." Chen Ruixing had a smile on his face, and he seemed very happy, but it was a pity that the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Shui'er has been missing for so many years, if she knew that you have grown up like this, It will be a pleasure for sure.”
Chen Ruoshui's matter is still a secret to the Chen family. Only Chen Shanghua and the three elders know about it. Everyone else thinks that Chen Ruoshui and Murong Xizhao have been missing together for many years.
"Thank you for your compliment, Uncle." Murong nodded with a light smile, but she had absolutely no intention of standing up.
Seeing that Murong Qingyan had been sitting there talking to them, Lin Nilan felt a little unhappy in her heart. In her opinion, they are all elders, and they are all standing here now. Murong Qingyan, as a junior, still sits there, really showing no manners at all.
However, although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she also knew the position of Murong Qingyan in the heart of the master at the moment, so she did not dare to show any emotions, she still said with a smile, "Qingyan, you haven't seen your two yet. A cousin! Let me introduce you! This is your eldest cousin—Chen Xianbin. Also, this is your third cousin—Chen Xianhao. Your third cousin’s biological mother is Aunt Wang.”
Seeing Murong's indifferent expression sitting there, Chen Xianbin's heart was very sad. He never imagined that one day, he would meet Murong Qingyan under such circumstances. When he met in the dark forest, he never thought that this woman would actually be his cousin.
In fact, to tell the truth, it was because he met Murong Qingyan in the dark forest that his status in the Chen family plummeted. However, to this day, he can no longer harbor any resentment towards the woman in front of him. Because the strength of this woman is beyond his reach.
Chen Xianhao didn't have any superfluous expressions, his face was hazy, and there was a hint of cynicism in his eyes.
Both of them said hello to Murong Qingyan.
Murong Qingyan smiled and greeted him.
Seeing Chen Xianbin again, she was not surprised. She had long known that Chen Xianbin was from the Chen family's big house. However, here, she did not see Chen Wenwen, presumably Chen Wenwen has no status in the Chen family since that time! A woman who can't cultivate or even get pregnant is destined to become the abandoned son of a big family.
After introducing the people in the big room, Chen Shanghua motioned for the people in the second room to come forward, and then said, "Qianyan, this is your second uncle Chen Ruihua, and your second aunt Li Xinqing."
Murong smiled and said hello, "Second uncle, second aunt."
Unlike the previous Chen Ruixing, Chen Ruihua didn't even bother to pretend, he just showed his face towards Murong, nodded perfunctorily, and there was no other reaction. Obviously, he has no feelings for this niece who suddenly appeared, and he is not even interested in pretending. Maybe that's just his nature!
Chen Ruihua's actions made Chen Shanghua's face a little ugly. If it wasn't for such an occasion, he would have scolded him long ago.
Li Xinqing naturally saw Chen Shanghua's dissatisfaction. After she quietly pulled Chen Ruihua's sleeve, she quickly looked at Murong Qingyan with a smile on her face, "Qianyan, I didn't expect you to be a big girl when we met. It is her blessing to have a daughter like you. By the way, I haven't introduced it to you yet!"
Having said that, Li Xinqing pointed to the four men and women behind and continued to introduce, "This is your second cousin Chen Xianyi and second cousin Chen Wenqing. If you have anything in the future, you can go to them. Your age It shouldn't be much different, I think you should get along very well."
Li Xinqing was different from Chen Ruihua, she could see that this Murong Qingyan held a high place in the family's heart. It can even be said that now this Murong Qingyan is the celebrity in front of the head of the family and the three elders. To befriend Murong Qingyan, for them, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Moreover, Murong Qingyan was only a daughter, not even surnamed Chen. Even if such a woman is favored by the head of the family, it is impossible for her to gain too much benefit from the Chen family.
On the contrary, if he and Murong Qingyan made good friends, and in the future, Murong Qingyan would say a few good words for them in front of the family master, then it would really be of great help to them.
Murong Qingyan nodded lightly and said with a smile, "Second cousin, second cousin, how are you?"
Chen Xianyi and Chen Wenqing also quickly returned the salute.
Chen Xianyi had no impression of Murong's appearance at all. In the past, although he had met him before, Murong Qingyan had always faced him with a mask, so he couldn't recognize him for a while. He didn't have much feeling for this cousin who suddenly appeared, but it was just okay on the surface.
When Chen Wen looked down at Murong, her expression seemed a little weird. She naturally recognized Murong Qingyan, but she didn't say much. What happened in Phoenix Valley, she was still vivid in her mind.
Seeing that Chen Xianyi and Chen Wenqing both greeted Murong Qingyan, Li Xinqing pointed to another man and a woman, and continued, "Sixth cousin Chen Xianzhu, and fourth cousin Chen Wenrui."
"Hello." Murong's face was still smiling.
However, through this introduction, she also knew in her heart that Chen Xianzhu and Chen Wenrui were definitely not born by her second aunt. Although Li Xinqing didn't say it outright, her performance has clearly explained this point. Moreover, it can be seen that Li Xinqing does not like these two concubines.
"Hello, cousin." Chen Xianzhu was still young, but only five or six years old. A baby face with baby fat looked very pleasing, and there was a trace of clarity in his eyes.
He looked at Murong and smiled, then immediately lowered his head, looking shy. He had never seen such a beautiful person before, so when he saw Murong smiling at him, he felt very embarrassed.
Seeing Chen Xianzhu's appearance, Murong Qingyan couldn't help laughing softly, and when she looked at Chen Xianzhu, there was a hint of sincerity on her face.
Chen Wenrui just glanced at Murong Qingyan lightly, and gave a perfunctory salute, "Hello, cousin."
When she raised her head to look at Murong, her eyes were still glittering with jealousy. She was very uncomfortable. For a long time, because of her status as a concubine, she was not very valued in the family. Moreover, her biological mother, Chen Shi, was not particularly favored, so although her life could not be described as sad, it was definitely not as good as those of the direct descendants.
But now, seeing Murong Qingyan's treatment, her heart was filled with unease. Murong Qingyan didn't even have the surname Chen, but in the Chen family, her status was higher than that of her well-deserved young lady. How could she accept this in her heart
Murong Qingyan didn't feel much about Chen Wenrui's attitude. She didn't even look at Chen Wenrui, she just waved at Chen Xianzhu, "Come here."
Chen Xianzhu seemed very happy when he saw Murong's face calling him. He ran to Murong Qingyan in three steps and two steps, and his red face was like two red apples. His clear eyes looked at Murong, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Huangfu Jue on the side looked at Chen Xianzhu, but frowned involuntarily. He didn't like anything or people that could attract Murong's attention.
As if feeling Huangfu Jue's cold eyes, Chen Xianzhu couldn't help but fight a cold war, and then glanced carefully at Huangfu Jue.
He was also puzzled in his heart, he remembered that he should have never offended this big brother! Why was this big brother so unfriendly when he looked at him
"Jue!" Murong glanced at Huangfu Jue with helplessness in her eyes.
She really could not have imagined that Huangfu Jue would actually care about a child.
After hearing Murong Qingyan's call, Huangfu Jue retracted his gaze, and then sat there calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Murong looked at the lovely Chen Xianzhu standing in front of her, with a smile on her lips, she turned her hand away, there was a small gourd in her hand, tied with a red thread, she said with a smile, "Do you like it?"
Looking at the delicate little gourd in Murong Qingyan's hand, Chen Xianzhu glanced at her timidly, then nodded.
Murong Qingyan suddenly grabbed Chen Xianzhu's hand, then took out a small knife and cut directly on Chen Xianzhu's finger.
Such a sudden move made everyone stunned, and no one could have imagined that Murong Qingyan would suddenly do such a thing. However, Murong Qingyan's next move made everyone envious and hated Chen Xianzhu.
Murong Qingyan dripped Chen Xianzhu's blood directly onto the small gourd. Although, a bright light flashed, and the little gourd absorbed Chen Xianzhu's blood.
If everyone still doesn't understand Murong's behavior, then they are all fools. Only a spiritual tool needs blood to recognize the master, that is to say, the small gourd in Murong Qingyan's hand is a spiritual tool. And now she plans to give this spiritual tool to Chen Xianzhu.
Ignoring everyone's eyes, Murong put the small gourd directly on Chen Xianzhu's neck, "This is a gift I gave you, this small gourd is a space spirit tool, although it is not very big, but if you You can put anything in there."
The expressions of the others became a little ugly, because so far, Murong Qingyan has only given Chen Xianzhu a gift. Moreover, he also generously sent a space spirit tool directly. How can this make people feel comfortable!
