Wishful Things

"Enough!" The woman scolded in a low voice in fear, preventing him from continuing, and said sadly: "If you are really filial, you should start a family as soon as possible and continue the incense for the Qiao family, so that your father can live happily ever after." Under the Nine Springs, I can rest in peace... instead of doubting those useless old things all day long!"

"Mother still can't see clearly?"

The man in the green shirt said with a firm tone: "It's not that my son is suspicious all day long, but that this matter has been affecting and even manipulating everything in our Qiao family invisibly over the years. Is it possible to be safe and sound by just pretending not to know? If the father's death was really strange, as a son of man, he should find out the truth, knowing that his biological father died in vain and let the truth be buried, is the real unfilial piety."

"You..." The woman's lips were slightly blue, and she suddenly coughed violently, covering her chest with uneven breathing.

The man hastened forward to help him up.

"Mother……"

"Do you really want to make your mother mad to death before you're willing..." The woman cried, holding his arm tightly, and persuaded in a low voice: "No one knows the truth about what happened back then. Where do you start to investigate? Tim, you should also understand the consequences of hitting a pebble against a rock...Mother only wants you to live in peace, which must be your father's wish...You promise your mother that you will never mention this matter again, okay? "

Facing the tearful eyes of his old mother, the man's heart sank very heavily. If he didn't dare to act rashly because his mother was still alive, how could he just keep this matter in his heart all these years and only dare to A few words on the father's grave?

As for starting a family...

The man smiled wryly in his heart.

In a situation where he doesn't know the whole truth, he often feels precarious, fearing that someday disaster will happen, so how dare he marry a wife and have children, and hurt others for nothing?

But no matter how much he said, his mother would not understand.

Just as the mother thinks of peace, it is not what he agrees with.

"The son made a slip of the tongue." Facing the mother who was destined to be unable to reach a consensus, the man suppressed the thoughts in his heart: "I hope the mother will calm down and don't hurt her body."

The woman shook her head, her tears becoming more and more violent.

"Mother knows that no one can persuade you..."

Then he broke free from his son's hand and cried bitterly at the grave.

Looking at the sad and desperate mother, the man's mood was complicated and unspeakable.

He knew that his mother must also be unwilling and resentful towards his father's death.

Why doesn't the mother want to seek justice.

It's just that the mother is vaguely aware of the difficulty of this matter. As an ordinary mother, this identity limits her vision and binds her courage.

Therefore, he couldn't blame his mother at all.

But are he and his mother really doomed to never learn the truth about his father's death?

The man looked at the tombstone and knelt there for a long time without moving.

It wasn't until the woman was so tired from crying that he stepped forward to help her up, and slowly left here with her.

Hearing the footsteps of the mother and son completely disappeared, Wu Chao and Xu Mingyi came out from the hiding place.

The burning paper in front of the tomb has been burned out, and several plates of tributes are sitting there quietly.

"From this, the Qiao family's mother and son must have doubts about Qiao Bing's death that year." Wu Chao said: "But it should only be suspicious of the real cause of death, and never thought about the possibility that he might still be alive."

Xu Mingyi nodded.

She also roughly heard it.

But putting these aside for the time being, she has another question on her lips at this time: "Wu Chao, do you know what the name of this son of the imperial doctor Qiao is called? I just watched it vaguely, and I think it looks very familiar."

"This person's name is Qiao Tian."

Joe Tim?

Joe Tim...

After Xu Mingyi slowly repeated the name twice in his heart, he showed a dazed expression.

She remembered.

"According to the spies' report, this person has quite a friendship with Mr. Xu."

Xu Mingyi nodded: "Indeed, this Mr. Qiao and my second uncle have been... best friends for many years."

Because of this, she met him by chance in the early years, but in recent years, perhaps because this Mr. Qiao no longer studied the imperial examinations, but returned to Fengming County and settled down, and became a teacher. After coming and going, the contact with her second uncle became less frequent.

After all, dealing with her second uncle is destined to be one-sided, and don't expect her second uncle to find him on his own initiative.

But the friendship between the two is good, this is an indisputable fact.

This point can be seen from the sentence that Ming Shi said to her earlier——

A few days ago, when Cai Jin hadn't left Zhen Guogong's mansion, Ming Shi, who was now very keen to inquire about the big and small things in the mansion, didn't know if he learned from his mother the countermeasure that the second uncle planned to use to deal with the marriage ——

When talking about this matter with her at that time, the name of this Mr. Qiao was mentioned tomorrow.

Mingshi's original words are - if the second uncle really declares that he has broken his sleeves, Mr. Qiao may become the biggest victim.

The reason for this sentence is because the two have a close relationship, and they are both bachelors who have not yet married.

As for why Mingshi is so well aware of the stakes of this matter, even so sensitive to such an incomprehensible level, under her persecution, her innocent younger brother blushed hesitantly, and revealed the reason——

It turned out that Yu secretly came across some kind of unspeakable book about the second uncle and Mr. Qiao. Because the book used a pseudonym, he almost finished reading a book before he realized the main character in the book. It turned out to be my second uncle...

According to Mingshi, the moment he realized it, he suddenly felt dirty.

And it seems that he is not the only one who is dirty...

But seeing is nothing more than seeing, even if you want to buy a pair of eyes that you haven't seen with a lot of money, it is an illusion that there is no way.

Forgetting is also impossible to forget, and it is destined to leave a deep impression. It is about the kind that when the events of your life flash through your mind before you die, those beautiful and charming words will be forcibly reproduced verbatim. .

She was stunned and shocked, and criticized her younger brother on the spot. What kind of messy books did she read at such a young age?

This kind of evil book cannot be burned, so she confiscated the book resolutely.

Up to now, the book is still lying in the bookcase next to her bed—the brazier is not lit in summer, and I haven't found a chance to burn it.

That's going too far.

Xu Mingyi recovered from this incident, glanced at Qiao Bing's grave, and said to Wu Chao: "Since this is Mr. Qiao, and he obviously has doubts about what happened back then, maybe you can try to talk to him. .”

Wu Chao nodded: "But I'm afraid it would be somewhat presumptuous to catch up at this time—"

It's not just a question of being rude, it's already rude to eavesdrop, the key lies in that mother Qiao.

The old man was obviously very taboo about what happened back then.
