Ningzhou Suburban Cemetery…
The whole room suddenly became quiet, and the words from Wen Li's mouth were spinning in the heads of several people.
What does suburban cemetery mean
"Grandma?" Li Li pulled Li Langhua aside, "What do Wen Li mean?"
My grandma said that my parents are still alive, so why are there cemeteries in the suburbs
Li Ruobing could only smile and speak with a soft expression, "Wen Li, stop making such jokes."
According to Rachel, Wen Xuqian and his wife just moved away from the imperial capital, and she was also a pharmacist.
Wen Xuqian is also a well-known pharmacist. There are rumors in the industry that he is reclusive, and there has never been news of his death.
"Would I joke with you about this kind of thing?" Wen Li looked at several people and asked.
Li Langhua held on with all her strength to prevent herself from falling. In her heart, her son was still alive and well.
It's just that he doesn't want to return to the imperial capital, and he just doesn't want to see her.
"This is..." Rachel calmed down her emotions and said, "When did this happen?"
Why don't they know anything.
"Fifteen years ago, before my grandfather..."
As soon as Wen Li finished speaking, Li Langhua's still somewhat bloody face turned completely white.
"Fifteen years ago." Li Langhua muttered these words.
"How could this happen? Gone?" Rachel stood up and helped the old lady, "Miss Wen Li, you can't say this nonsense. How could a good person disappear?"
"Killed by someone."
Wen Li's last words completely shattered Li Langhua's last hope.
died…
All dead...
"grandmother!!"
Li Langhua fainted, and Rachel still looked back a few times when he was taken away. This news was the cruelest to the old lady.
Li Li stayed at the end and asked again as if to confirm, "They? Really died?"
Her parents, whom she had never met, had really passed away.
Seeing Wen Li nodding, Li Li shed tears when he turned around.
Li Langhua has told her since she was a child that her parents are dead. In these years, such roles as parents do not exist in her world.
But there is nothing in this world that is more sad than losing something again.
Li Langhua said that when her parents were still alive, Li Li was really happy. On the way here, she thought about what her parents would be like.
Does she look like her father or her mother
What would their expressions be like if they saw her? Will they be very happy
Will you like her
But now, all hopes are gone.
Her parents, whom she had never met before, were really dead, at a time she had no idea about.
The room became quiet, Wen Li sat on the sofa, raised his hand to take the poured warm water and took a sip.
Looking at Li Langhua like this, he was completely unaware of the news that Wen Xuqian and his wife had passed away.
Even though this matter has never been made public, many people in the industry believe that Wen Xuqian and his wife are living in seclusion.
It's just that he hasn't been active in all walks of life all year round, but if you want to investigate, it's not impossible to find out.
Li Langhua's reaction was too extreme.
The man's white palm stretched out and took the cup from Wen Li's hand.
Mentioning the matter of his parents again, this little thing must be feeling disappointed.
Fu Yuxiu sat down next to her and gently raised his hand to touch Wen Li's head.
"Not upset."
This is like coaxing a child.
But it had been so many years, and Wen Li had long since looked away from the reason why she looked wrong.
It was just a reaction to Li Langhua's attitude.
"We will return to the imperial capital tomorrow." Fu Yuxiu hooked her finger and said.
Wen Li nodded, everything in Beicheng was over, and everything that should be obtained was obtained.
There is no point in staying here any longer.
"I heard that there is an ice sculpture art festival held in Beicheng these two days. I will take you to see it tonight." Fu Yuxiu coaxed her.
"Ice sculpture?"
Wen Li became interested. Seeing her appearance, the man smiled and lifted her up to him.
"Well, let me have some fun with you. Children always need to be carefree."
As he spoke, Fu Yuxiu leaned forward, his tall nose pressed against Wen Li's, and the tip of his nose rubbed her cheek affectionately.
…
This man went out and was carried back. When he entered, Li Yuanzhi and Yun Xiao were frightened.
It's okay for Li Langhua to pay attention to self-care these years. Li Ruobing has always helped take care of his body, and he is healthy and rarely catches a cold.
But as I get older, my heart hurts from time to time.
But after so many years of great storms and waves, Li Langhua was also a person who had seen bloody storms, so why did he faint
"What's going on? What happened?" Li Yuanzhi came up to him.
Rachel was breathing heavily, and she and her servants hurriedly put the old lady on the bed.
The person lying on this bed two days ago was Li Li, and today it was Li Langhua, who came from the north this time.
I couldn't tell whether I was here to relax or to suffer.
"Grandma." Li Ruobing hurriedly took out the needle.
Li Langhua was so anxious that he fainted so quickly.
"The old lady knows about Mr. Xu Qian's death." Rachel explained to Li Yuanzhi.
Li Yuanzhi, who was standing by the bed, was thunderstruck, knowing it so quickly.
After Li Langhua and Wen Yanxing divorced, Wen Yanxing moved out of the Li family with his eldest son Wen Xuqian.
Li Langhua also issued an order to the Li family. From now on, all news about Wen Yanxing and Wen Xuqian will never be allowed to be discussed in the Li family.
That marriage was a lifelong pain for Li Langhua. In order to heal the wound, the Li family also implemented this rule very well.
Two years after the divorce, Li Langhua was able to get over the pain. She became an independent and self-reliant woman, managing the Li family well with her son.
But since that incident, Li Langhua's whole person seemed to be brought back to his original shape.
Wen Xuqian, who was only ten years old at that time, often went to Li's house to visit his mother, but Wen Xuqian and Wen Yanxing were so similar.
They all devoted themselves to academics and had no interest in doing business. Li Langhua could only follow his son's wish.
Later, Wen Xuqian married a woman that Li Langhua didn't like, and gradually Li Langhua didn't want to see his son again.
The final turning point was the birth of Li Li, and it was the arrival of this granddaughter that rekindled Li Langhua's hope.
After Li Langhua brought Li Li back to Li's family, Li Li became the hope in her life. Wen Jiaye kept his promise not to disturb the life of this child and Li Langhua.
Li Langhua had never heard any news about the Wen family in the past few years. Even the news of Wen Yanxing's death was overwhelming news back then. He didn't know it until he couldn't hide it.
"You went to find Wen Li?" Li Yuanzhi looked at several people.
If he hadn't gone to find Wen Li, no one would have told Li Langhua about the death of Wen Xuqian and his wife.
"Yes, Miss Wen Li said that Mr. Xu Qian died fifteen years ago. The old lady couldn't bear it and fell down."
The change of events happened so quickly that they were caught off guard.
Li Yuanzhi looked at the old lady on the bed, thoughtfully and calmly.
After so many years, just because she doesn't care about him doesn't mean she has completely given up on her son.
Blood ties are something that can never be separated in this world.
"Second Sir, when the old lady asked you to investigate Wen Li for the first time some time ago, did you find anything else?" Rachel suddenly looked at Li Yuanzhi.
Li Yuanzhi must have known about this matter.
He nodded without any intention of hiding anything, "Fifteen years ago, the Wen family was destroyed. Wen Li's parents died. They were killed. Dr. Wen died less than a month later."
Li Li on the side listened to these words, her eyes filled with tears.
"So, Wen Li is an orphan?"
This was also their original doubt as to why Wen Li became a child of the Mu family, bearing the Mu family's surname.
Immediately afterwards, news came out that Mu Kun had killed Wen Yanxing.
"The Mu family brought Wen Li back home and claimed that she was the Mu family's youngest daughter. However, Wen Li disappeared within a month after arriving at the Mu family. She disappeared for fifteen years."
This is all the information that can be found externally. Rachel lowered her head. In this way, Wen Li was not brought up by Mr. Xu Qian as they thought.
She was homeless for fifteen years.
"Why didn't this kid say anything?" Rachel's eyes turned red.
She had also met Wen Li back then. The four-year-old child was exquisitely carved and extremely pleasing in appearance.
During the years in the imperial capital, Mr. Xu Qian would always bring little Wen Li to the Li family during festivals.
Even though he couldn't get through the door, Wen Xuqian always put the gifts he brought there at the door.
At that time, the little girl who was babbling would bow to the iron gate and say goodbye in a decent manner.
Say goodbye to grandma crisply.
But Li Langhua was ruthless every time. He had never seen them in those years.
The last time they met was two days before the Wen family planned to move out of the imperial capital. Wen Xuqian and his wife took five-year-old Wen Li and kowtowed three times to the iron gate very solemnly.
That's goodbye.
But even when they said goodbye for the last time, Li Langhua never saw them.
Li Ruobing pricked these needles, and Li Langhua woke up slowly.
"I think you guys should go out first. I'll just accompany the old lady." Rachel said.
Now Li Langhua doesn't want anyone to see her vulnerability.
Li Yuanzhi took a deep look and took the reluctant Li Li out. Li Ruobing handed the powerful heart-saving pill to Rachel.
Before going out, several people looked at the person on the bed worriedly.
This incident was a huge blow to Li Langhua.
"Are you feeling better?" Rachel leaned over and helped the old lady up.
As consciousness gradually returned, Li Langhua remembered what he had heard before he fell into coma, and his pale face was still bloodless.
"Rachel, Wen Li said that Xu Qian was dead, did you also hear it?"
Rachel nodded, "My condolences, the person has already left, so you'd better be more open-minded."
"I thought he was fine, living fine in a place I didn't know about, for fifteen years, a whole fifteen years! My child died, but I, the mother, didn't know at all... "
Li Langhua lowered his head, tears falling heavily on the quilt.
"Don't be like this, natural disasters and man-made disasters are not what you think about."
Li Langhua suddenly thought of something and hurriedly got out of bed, but tripped over the quilt and fell to the ground.
"Old lady, what are you trying to do?" Rachel hurriedly went over to help her.
Li Langhua lay on the floor, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out a black lacquered wood box.
Rachel knew this box. The old lady had carried it with her for many years. She took it with her wherever she went.
"Open it, Rachel." Li Langhua hurriedly clasped the lock with his fingers, "Open it... open it quickly..."
The key to the lock on this box has been lost for many years.
Rachel hurriedly went downstairs to get the toolbox and came up. Li Langhua's nails were already bleeding, and the usually delicate woman was now kneeling on the ground in a miserable state.
Expensive manicures were also ruined by such a wave of operations.
"Get up and I'll open it."
Before Rachel could take action, Li Langhua took the hammer in the tool box and smashed it down.
As sawdust flew everywhere, everything inside was exposed.
It was a letter, neatly cut, in a thick pile.
The ones below have been torn apart, but the top one has not been opened.
The signatures on the clean envelope were Wen Xuqian and Hua Yan.
Rachel suddenly remembered that Wen Xuqian came to Li's house to say goodbye to Li Langhua before leaving.
In addition to kowtowing to the iron gate, the family of three also wrote a letter to the old lady.
The letter was then locked into the box and never opened again.
Fifteen years have passed before Li Langhua opened the letter.
In his panic, Li Langhua's palm was cut by the broken wood, and blood flowed down and stained the ground.
The letter that had not been opened for many years was now completely open in front of her.
To mother:
An unfilial son cannot inherit the Li family's business, cannot be filial to his mother, and cannot take care of his younger brother. Instead, he only causes trouble to his mother.
Now I have decided to move my family out of the imperial capital. It has been many years since I left, and I may not see her again. I bid farewell to my mother now. I hope that my daughter Li Li can always be by her mother's side and perform filial piety on her son's behalf.
May you have a safe and joyful life.
Unfilial son: Wen Xuqian.
This was the last letter Wen Xuqian sent to Li Langhua, and it was also the letter she never opened.
There was no resentment in the words, only deep self-blame.
"Rachel, he never blamed me as a mother until his death. It was me who robbed his children. I thought they would live well, but why are they all dead? Why are they all dead?"
"Yan Xing, Xu Qian, and... and..."
Li Langhua cried bitterly while holding the letter, and Rachel turned her face to the side and wiped away her tears.
It had been a long time since the old lady had been so sad. Her wounds had just healed over the years, but they were torn open again.
"I thought he didn't want to see me as his mother again. He moved out of the imperial capital and never wanted to return to this sad place. But why did they all die and abandon me one by one? I still hated him for so many years. , I also think it’s because he doesn’t want to be unfilial and hasn’t come to see my old lady for fifteen years... "
"But after so many years, they died..."
Li Langhua sat on the ground holding the letter, the blood from the wound on her hand was smeared all over her body, and the delicate makeup on her face was horribly faded.
Rachel knelt down in front of the old lady, trying to coax her.
"Mr. Xu Qian is so gentle and filial. He has never been cold-hearted to you. He won't blame you. Don't be sad."
In the old lady's heart, whatever hatred she had for Wen Xuqian, she also hated the son born in her belly.
His words and deeds are so similar to Wen Yanxing's. He would rather stay in the laboratory for the rest of his life than inherit the Li family.
It was also for this reason that Li Langhua completely broke with the adult Wen Xuqian and no longer wanted to see him.
But even if he hit the wall countless times, he would still come to see Li Langhua regardless of rain or shine, and leave the gifts through the thick iron gate.
"Rachel, Xu Qian is dead... He has been dead for fifteen years. As a mother, I didn't know at all. For fifteen years, I complained that he never showed up. I blamed him for not staying with me. I, but that child has turned into bones. Will he blame me until his death for not letting him see Lili... "
"He's gone. Just like Yuanzhi, he no longer wants me as his mother..."
Li Langhua complained with tears in his eyes, as if he was resenting himself, with unparalleled regret.
Rachel held the old lady's hand and instead managed to bring her back to her senses.
The most painful thing in the world is when a white-haired person gives a black-haired person a gift, but she experienced it all over again.
"You can't fall down like this. I just negotiated with the second gentleman. Mr. Xu Qian was killed back then..."
Maybe this is the only way to cheer up Li Langhua.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Li Langhua looked up at her.
"What did you say?"
"Mr. Xu Qian died before Dr. Wen. He was killed not long after the couple moved out of the emperor. Dr. Wen was also killed shortly after. There are many issues worthy of our further investigation."
For example, why Wen Xuqian suddenly moved out of the imperial capital back then, so fast that it was impossible to react.
He was killed so soon after he moved out of the imperial capital.
"Xu Qian was killed." Li Langhua sat upright holding the letter.
"But why, I didn't know much about Wen Yanxing's marriage back then. Even if we got divorced, the Li family's enemies wouldn't be able to find them."
Moreover, even though they lived together in the imperial capital, few people knew that Wen Yanxing's wife was the famous eldest daughter of the Li family.
No one knew that Wen Xuqian, the pharmacist who became famous at a young age, was Li Langhua's son.
So who did it
"So you must cheer up." Rachel held Li Langhua's hand, "Besides, Miss Wen Li is back. She has been wandering for fifteen years. No one can find her under any circumstances. This child has eaten so much It took so much trouble to find this place, but Mr. Xu Qian is watching you in the sky."
That was Wen Xuqian's child and Li Langhua's granddaughter.
They always thought that Wen Li was such an outstanding pharmacist, and Wen Xuqian's upbringing must be indispensable for this.
But things went counterproductive.
Parental upbringing and children growing up in happiness are just a guess on their part.
Like brilliant colorful bubbles, they burst into a mess on the ground.
"Miss Wen Li must be brought back. She must have appeared in the imperial capital to investigate the tragedy that year."
Rachel's words brought Li Langhua back to his senses. Yes, Wen Li would appear at Li's house because he must want to investigate what happened back then.
What's more, that is her granddaughter and also Xu Qian's bloodline.
