After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him

"Then Wen Chengyi still has some conscience, and he is quite pitiful."

Wen Hongshen nodded subconsciously.

[Yes, being kicked out of the family tree by one's "own mother" for no apparent reason, how could one not feel pity? ]

"Pity? What's pitiful? People like him deserve to die!"

[Huh? Why are you suddenly scolding Cheng Yi? Is this person mistaken? ]

"If I had given birth to a wicked creature like him, I would have drowned him as soon as he was born!"

【? 】

"He raped an innocent girl and emptied her own mother's dowry. This guy didn't deserve to live from the beginning! It's only because the wife of the centurion was kind that she endured it until now and kicked him out of the family."

[Wh, what? Losing all the dowry?]

"That's right! He hanged himself in prison now, which can be considered as a good deed for himself. It's just a pity for Qu and that girl, alas!"

"Boom!"

Wen Hongshen stood up suddenly, and the long bench behind him fell to the ground due to his sudden movement.

The two men subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from.

A young man in a green shirt with a gloomy look walked towards them quickly and grabbed one of them by the collar.

"What are you doing?!" The man who was grabbed by the collar had an ugly look on his face.

"What am I doing? I still need to ask you what nonsense you are talking about? You have no grudge against Wen Chengyi, why are you cursing him to hang himself?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then his brows furrowed.

"Sir, don't you know yet?"

"What do I need to know?"

"I am not cursing that evil creature. I am telling the truth."

"...W-What?"

"Wen Chengyi was found hanged from a beam in the prison by the jailer at noon today. Someone even saw the jailer throwing his body into the mass grave. Which word I said is not true? It's incomprehensible!"

The man pulled away Wen Hongshen's hand that was grabbing his collar, and instinctively felt that it was bad luck, so he put down the copper coin and was about to leave.

"Stop! You're talking nonsense!"

Wen Hongshen grabbed the man's arm and said, "You are spreading rumors here. I will take you to see the official!"

"Damn it! You're looking for death if you don't accept my toast?"

The man was not a good-tempered person. When Wen Hongshen kept looking for trouble, he swung his fist and hit Wen Hongshen hard in the face.

Wen Hongshen was a scholar, and was brought up in a pampered manner by Qu. How could he be a match for someone who was born to do hard labor?

After just a few punches, he was knocked to the ground, his face covered in blood.

"Stop fighting, stop causing trouble in our teahouse! If you want to fight, go outside and fight!"

The teahouse owner came over to persuade people.

The man then walked away with his friend.

"Young master, are you okay?" The shopkeeper helped up Wen Hongshen, whose face was covered with wounds.

A warm feeling passed through Wen Hongshen's heart.

The shopkeeper is a good man.

When he becomes successful in the future, I will often patronize his business.

"Thank you, I'm fine."

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and then spread out his hands.

"I'm glad you're alright. You broke three of my teacups, two benches, and ordered a pot of osmanthus tea. That's two taels of silver in total. Pay me now!"

"..."

"Hurry up! If you don't pay, you won't be able to get out of this door today!"

The shopkeeper was still smiling, his expression was the same as when he helped him up just now.

The corners of Wen Hongshen's mouth twitched and his expression became visibly ugly.

He actually thought that the shopkeeper was a good person!

"Shopkeeper, I wasn't the one who did it, and I wasn't the one who broke the teacup and the bench, so why are you asking me for money?"

Wen Hongshen was still trying to reason, but the shopkeeper turned around and called two tall and strong waiters.

"Whether to give silver or not, just one word."

Wen Hongshen was silent for a while, then took out the silver from his purse.

The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, sir. Have a safe trip!"

"Oh, by the way, do you want to ask about Wen Hongyi? He is lying in the mass grave now!"

"There was an objective witness who saw it with his own eyes. It was thrown at the very back of the mass grave."

"If you are his friend, you must go and see him as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you are late, he will be eaten by wild beasts on the hill near the mass grave and you won't be able to recognize his face."

Wen Hongshen's face changed and even his lips began to tremble.

If one person said that Wen Chengyi was dead, that would be a rumor, but if several people said so in succession, wouldn't it mean...

Wen Hongshen suddenly ran out like crazy.

A waiter looked at Wen Hongshen's back in confusion as he ran away.

"Boss, the guy who got beaten just now, is he Wen Hongshen, the famous genius boy in the capital?"

"Eh?"

"If it's him, then wouldn't we have... offended the future number one scholar?"

"Clang--" the silver in the shopkeeper's hand fell to the ground.

……

sunset.

Mass graves.

A few vultures were eating something happily.

There was a sickening smell in the air.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard, startling the vultures, who then cried out and spread their wings and flew away.

Wen Hongshen ran all the way from the teahouse, his cheeks flushed.

But when he really arrived at the mass grave, a cold wind blew, and the blush on his face disappeared, turning pale.

It was his first time in such a place, and he felt cold all over.

But it was obvious that he had just run here and was sweating all over.

"Don't be afraid! People who read books don't fear ghosts and gods!"

Wen Hongshen comforted himself and walked to the innermost part of the mass grave with trembling calves.

If what the shopkeeper said was true, Wen Chengyi would be here right now.

He swallowed, walked with difficulty to the innermost part of the mass grave, and bravely looked into the pit.

The next second, when he saw clearly the person lying inside, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he sat down on the ground.

"Yi, Yi, Brother Yi..."

The man with a pale face and a strangely folded body was Wen Chengyi.

A few hours ago, Wen Chengyi asked him to save him.

Wen Hongshen only felt a warm current flowing between his legs.

He...peed his pants!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

It took a while for Wen Hongshen to recover from his shock. He got up and ran away from the mass grave.

dead.

He saw a dead person!

The one who died was indeed Wen Chengyi!

The man and the owner of the teahouse were not lying. Wen Chengyi was really dead!

After leaving the mass grave, it took Wen Hongshen a while to catch his breath.

He found an inn and changed his clothes, his hands still shaking.

But he still tried hard to control the pen in his hand and wrote a letter to Wen Zehai in the ugliest handwriting he had ever seen in his life.

He wanted to tell his father that Wen Chengyi was killed by Qu.

He wanted his father to divorce Qu and his grandmother to beat Qu to death to avenge Wen Chengyi!

Yi Ge'er was the one who was best treated by his brothers in the mansion. He was also the purest and kindest person at heart. He didn't even dare to kill a chicken. Such a person was killed by Qu.

He doesn't believe in suicide!

Wen Chengyi has always been timid and would never do such a thing.

It must have been done by Qu!

Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs. Qu is simply not a human being!

There was a gleam of anger in Wen Hongshen's eyes.

Wen Chengyi is dead, where can we get his articles in the future?

Damn it, Qu!

The letter was quickly written, and Wen Hongshen directly gave a gold ingot and asked the post station to send the letter as quickly as possible.

He firmly believed that the day his father and grandmother returned would be the day Qu would die!
