My best friends all traveled through the book! Marry a rough man! If you leave me, I will leave you

After he came out of the shower, Shen Wu simply washed him.

When Lu Xuan was teasing, Shen Wu propped up her chin and said, "I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Lu Xuan turned around.

Shen Wu took out a photo from her bag and put it in front of Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan was slightly stunned when he saw the photo, but there was nothing he didn't understand.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you about this, but, apart from the relationship between me and the fourth brother, it's not a glorious thing." Lu Xuan held up the photo: "But Aunt Zhang gave this to you, and probably told you too."

Shen Wu nodded.

Lu Xuan recalled: "Back then, probably just after the 1960s, an old man came to our place. He was said to be an old man in the palace, a eunuch, and his ancestors had some connections with my family..."

"I have many children. He wanted to adopt a child from my family to take care of him in his old age, but my father didn't agree. That old man brought a lot of things from the palace. My father didn't agree to adopt a child, so he would come to my father from time to time to drink and bring him some food. After a few visits, the two families became much more familiar with each other."

"At that time, we also said that we would take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life."

"The seventh child was the youngest at the time, only four or five years old. He would secretly call the old man godfather. He was sweet-talking, and the old man gave him money and bought him food. The two of them were closer than others."

When Lu Xuan mentioned this, his brows furrowed. "Old Four and I were both in our teens at the time. We were already half of the laborers. We often went to work in the fields. When we didn't work, we went up the mountains and rivers to look for game. We didn't get close to him, and this continued for several years."

"Five or six years passed like this, and the family had already accepted that the seventh child was his half-son, and that he would be taken care of in his old age and see him to the end of his life."

Lu Xuan added, "He doesn't need to be supported in his old age. He stole a lot of things from the palace in his early years. He is much richer than farmers. Otherwise, my father, who cares about his reputation, would not have followed the seventh brother."

"So your father was not happy with Lao Liu and Mai Miao's marriage because they had too little money?"

Lu Xuan was silent for a while and nodded slightly: "Not really, my father just said it, but actually he took the money and complained about it."

Shen Wu: "Both in office and in office?"

Lu Xuan was silent for a long time and nodded.

Shen Wu also realized that this discussion was about her nominal father-in-law, and she coughed lightly: "Keep going, don't go off topic."

Lu Xuan's face darkened slightly: "But one time, I don't know how the fourth child was coaxed to his house. When I went to find him, Lu Tao told me that he went to the old eunuch's house..."

Lu Xuan's face was cold. Shen Wu suddenly remembered what Tong Lao said about Lu Ye's face attracting people and bringing trouble. She had a guess in her mind: "He was bullied?"

"I didn't have time. When I got there, I didn't know what medicine he had given to Lao Si. He passed out and is now..."

It was a little difficult for Lu Xuan to say it, and it took him a long time to finish.

"He is kneeling down to the crotch of the fourth brother."

"I didn't understand what was wrong with him at the time. I thought he was used to serving people in the palace and his knees went weak when he saw anyone. Later, when he tried to undress the fourth child, I felt something was wrong. Then I kicked the door open, beat him up, and took the fourth child away."

Shen Wu's expression was similar to that of someone who had eaten a dead fly: "Beat him to death? And then you went to labor camp?"

"I didn't beat him to death." Lu Xuan said, "It was quite a big fight at the time. I beat him half to death and was pulled away by the adults in the village."

"At that time, people were not very mature. As the incident became a big deal, some rumors were bound to spread. Most of them cursed the damn eunuch, but some rumors also inevitably involved the fourth child. During that period, the fourth child did not dare to go out."

"My father scolded me at home again, thinking that it was because the fourth child was too good-looking that he seduced that damn eunuch."

"I beat up all those who gossiped about me. I beat them all severely. One night, I stood at the bedside of the person who started gossiping with an axe. When he woke up and saw me, he was scared to death. After that, no one dared to spread gossip anymore."

Shen Wu...this method of solving the problem is clean and neat.

No wonder those people looked like they had a secret they wanted to tell her but were hesitant to speak. It turned out they were afraid that Lu Xuan would do this again.

"No one died, or he was at fault first. If someone called the police, you wouldn't have to go to labor camp, right?" Shen Wu pointed at the photo and said, "Aunt Zhang said that the old man died, and they first suspected you and took you away."

Lu Xuan said calmly, "There are rumors in the village. I have also heard some of them. They say that the old eunuch is a rootless person and he just... worships others. Some people also say that the old eunuch likes young boys and girls."

"The more I think about it, the more disgusted I feel. I beat him for half a year straight, controlling myself so as not to kill him, and then continuing to beat him when I recovered. This went on for half a year, and I didn't cover it up at the time..."

Now it was Shen Wu's turn to remain silent. Who else could she suspect if not him first?

Lu Xuan also touched his nose and felt that what he did when he was young was too careless, and continued to tell the story that happened later.

From what Shen Wu heard, it felt like there happened to be a riot that year and people were being investigated. The old eunuch's identity was under investigation and he was criticized by the whole village from time to time. In addition, Lu Xuan beat him up every now and then, so the old eunuch had no intention of committing suicide.

Someone died, and those people realized that it had become a big deal. Naturally, they didn't want to put the blame on themselves, so they pushed it onto Lu Xuan, who had some connections. Lu Xuan was arrested before he even knew what was going on, and then no one knew who pleaded guilty for him, but he was taken to the farm.

Shen Wu looked at his photo. He was thin and his eyes were full of hostility. "How did you live on the farm? Was it hard?"

If Lu Xuan said it wasn't hard, he knew his wife wouldn't believe him. "It was hard. When I first went in, there were people who bullied me, but I beat them up and almost beat them to death. That person was half dead for a month. I was locked up for most of the month. After I got out, no one dared to bully me anymore."

He even laughed as he spoke: "Actually there are quite a lot of talented people there, some of whom have returned from studying abroad. Those educated people speak well, and I learned a lot from them..."

He spoke lightly and glossed over all the bad things, but Shen Wu felt a little uncomfortable. According to Aunt Zhang, he was originally favored by Mr. Tong and could join the army, and his future was bright.

The more Shen Wu thought about it, the more bitter she felt. She hugged Lu Xuan and stabbed him in the arms: "Do you regret it?"

Lu Xuan stroked her long hair and said, "No, I went out and dug up the grave of that dead eunuch in the village."

"I threw all the bones into the back hill."

"But if I had given it more thought at the time, I might have been less ostentatious."

Shen Wu looked up at him with misty eyes and said, "You were only fifteen or sixteen at the time. How could you have considered everything? It was already amazing."

Lu Xuan said: "I have always felt that this matter is strange. Apart from my father, only the seventh brother and that damn eunuch are familiar with him. The fourth brother and I rarely go there."

Shen Wu asked, "Do you suspect it has something to do with Lu Ming?"
