Chapter 522 What kind of person is he?

The neighbors who came to watch the fun went home silently, closed the doors and windows, and drew the curtains, for fear that the young man in white with a sword in hand outside would chop them down as well.

But the young man in white didn't kill anyone else. He was just competing with the family of three. He told Hu Zi's father, "There are only zero times and countless times for cheating. If she does it once, she will never change. If you don't kill her now, she will cause you bigger trouble in the future. How can you be worthy of your child? Even if you don't care, he will definitely not care when he grows up."

The hand holding the sword stretched forward, and blood instantly oozed from the woman's neck.

The man shouted "No", and Hu Zi cried even harder.

Ye Wenyan had no choice but to quickly step forward and reach out to hold the wrist of the young man in white. "Brother, let her go, and let yourself go!" She looked up and met his eyes. "Okay?"

The young man in white, Quan Qinghua, suddenly smiled. He looked at Ye Wenyan with unspeakable pain in his eyes.

"How come I can meet you at this time?"

Ye Wenyan understood what he meant, so he said, "It's fair. You saved me when I was in the most desperate situation. You should always give me some face. Brother, I'm hungry. I didn't eat enough at home. Can you take me out for dinner?"

Quan Qinghua nodded, "Okay, but you have to kill her first."

"Don't kill my mother! Why do you want to kill my mother?"

"I'm doing this for your own good!" He suddenly turned his head and roared, "You are still young and don't understand anything. When you grow up, you will understand how painful it is to have a mother like this."

"I won't, I just want my mother!" Hu Zi cried and said, "Who are you? Why do you want to care about our family's affairs? My mother won't make the same mistake again. If she says she will change, she will definitely change and won't make the same mistake again!"

"If I say you will commit a crime, then you will commit a crime! Why don't you understand?" Quan Qinghua looked at Hu Zi and tried his best to control his emotions. "Be obedient, I won't lie to you. You cry now, but when you grow up you will know that I am doing this for your own good."

"I don't need you to do good for me!" Hu Zi struggled to slide off his father and rushed to the woman. "Even if I regret it, it's my own business. Why do you care about my business? I don't want you to care!"

Ye Wenyan still held Quan Qinghua's wrist tightly. She was really afraid that he would kill this woman in a fit of rage. According to the laws of Northern Qi, an unfaithful woman was indeed guilty of death, but the death penalty should be sentenced by the government, not by Quan Qinghua's hands.

Besides, everyone in the family has chosen to forgive, so why should he, an outsider, get involved?

So she tried to persuade Quan Qinghua again: "He's right, this is their family's business, and no one else should be involved." He tilted his head to look at her, with a puzzled look on his face, "But isn't my family's business also under the control of someone else?"

"Can we go discuss this somewhere else?" She pulled his arm down and said to the man, "Take your wife and children and leave now, quickly!"

The man reacted immediately, hugged the child, then pulled the woman whose neck was still dripping with blood and ran away without looking back.

Quan Qinghua put away the sword, looked at the blood dripping from the tip of the sword for a while, and felt that he was really meddling in other people's business. But... "You happened to see this scene today and stopped me, but if you saw someone meddling in my family affairs, would you also stop them? I had two chances to get rid of that nightmare, one was ten years ago, and the other was just a few days ago. Junior sister, you all know about these things, right? Then why didn't you stop them? They are the ones who are meddling in other people's business!"

"Can we go somewhere else to talk? This street is not wide, and there are houses on both sides. Do you want to make those things known to everyone? Let's go to another place and sit down. I will listen to whatever you want to say. If I hadn't encountered this incident today, I would definitely not care about it, but now that I have encountered it, I can't ignore it."

"Why?"

She looked up at him and told him the truth: "Feng Zhaolian wrote a long letter, specifically asking me to keep an eye on you and take care of you."

He laughed, "You just met her by chance, why should you listen to her?"

Ye Wenyan shook his head, "It's not a chance meeting. There are some people and some things in this world that I can't explain clearly to Master Liyuan. Only Feng Zhaolian understands me the best. You don't understand that feeling. When you are far away from your hometown, you go to a very far place. Everyone around you is a stranger. No one knows where you come from or where you are going. Suddenly, someone appears. She has a common friend with you. The names she says are all the people you miss every day. Do you want to establish a friendly relationship with such a person? Do you want to do your best to do what she asks you to do?"

Quan Qinghua frowned as he listened. He had also experienced being far away from his hometown, but he didn't want to talk about his hometown or hear anything about Lin'an. He even avoided Lin'an when he was doing business secretly.

For him, Lin'an City and the Northern Qi Palace are shadows that cannot be shaken off from his heart and will accompany him throughout his life.

"Brother, I'm hungry." She put down her hand and walked back to the carriage. When she got on the carriage, she looked back at him and saw him looking back at her. Their eyes met, and he finally sighed and followed her into the carriage.

There is a restaurant in the outer city. Last time Quan Qinghua took Ye Chulian away, she chose that place. Ye Wenyan did not ask what the restaurant had to do with Quan Qinghua. Anyway, since she was here, she might as well have a meal first. Although she had just eaten at home, the atmosphere was not good after all, and she was not full. She took the opportunity to extort money from the Fourth Prince, as a compensation for the money she paid for taking him for a ride in her own carriage. It was not too bad.

Seeing Ye Wenyan ordering a table full of dishes, Quan Qinghua actually thought she was really here to eat. He even asked uncertainly, "Are you really hungry?" Ye Wenyan nodded, "I am really hungry. This morning, Shi Liyuan went to my house to propose marriage, but there was something unpleasant. He was angry and left, so the atmosphere at home is not very good. I didn't eat enough, so it's a good opportunity to come out to improve my taste. Also, you treat me to this meal, I didn't bring any money when I went out."

Zhuier interrupted: "Miss, I have brought it."

"Shut up!" She rolled her eyes. "I just said you've grown up and you hit me in the face. We have a ready-made treat, why should we spend our own money? The Fourth Prince is so rich, what's wrong with me eating his meal?"

Zhuier didn't dare to say anything else. Ye Wenyan looked up at him with a smile: "Brother, am I right?"

Quan Qinghua nodded, feeling rather helpless. He sat and watched her eat. After watching for a while, he felt that the little girl was half full, so he asked, "What do you mean when you said that Lord Emperor and your family were unhappy?"

Ye Wenyan picked out the fish bones while talking to him: "I have a second sister who was raised by the old lady since she was a child. She was raised in a wrong way and she always goes against us. She made a scene again this morning. My mother always felt sorry for her daughter, so she didn't blame her. She just asked someone to take her back to the house to watch her, and then took the responsibility on herself, and then Shi Liyuan got angry."

She took another piece of fish with her chopsticks and pushed it aside. "I haven't touched the half of it yet. Zhuier, you can take it to the private room next door to eat it! Just order whatever you want to eat, and the bill will be charged to His Highness the Fourth Prince."

Zhuier covered her face and said, "Miss, please don't be like that. You make it sound like I'm really greedy for these dishes. Although I'm hungry, I won't order more. This half fish is enough for me." After saying that, she picked up the fish plate and left, taking away the bowl of rice that Ye Wenyan had hardly touched.

Ye Wenyan took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and then continued: "Tell me! Whether you say it or I say it, this matter must have a beginning. You can't hide away, after all, my second brother and the third prince brought the people back from Luoyun Village. But before I say it, I have to make it clear to you that I didn't know about this in advance. I was still in the Princess's Mansion that day, and I didn't know where my second brother went. Later, the third prince left first, and he just said that he felt panic and something bad was going to happen, so he left first."

She briefly recounted what happened that day, paused for a moment at the end, and then asked him, "Among those assassins who went to Luoyun Village, there were also your people, right?"

Quan Qinghua's hand holding the teacup trembled for a moment, and there was a struggle in his eyes, but he still nodded and said truthfully: "Yes!"

Once the topic was opened, it couldn't be stopped. Those things that he had kept in his heart for more than ten years, those things he swore he would never mention again in his life, were brought up by Ye Wenyan's few words, and he couldn't suppress them anymore.

Just like today when he saw that woman being beaten and that child crying on the street, his memory seemed to be pulled back to more than ten years ago. In fact, his third brother's revelation was too late. Concubine Li had done such a thing when he was five years old, and more than once. Until now, he still couldn't figure out how a woman who had lived in the deep palace for a long time could be so bold as to seduce the palace guards, flirt with the eunuchs, and even the ministers in the court. Any man who had the opportunity to stand in front of her, except for her relatives, was teased by her eyes and words.

Some people didn't take it seriously, some were very nervous, and some were so bold that they actually went to her house to have sex with her.

The first time he saw that kind of thing, he didn't understand it and thought someone was bullying his mother. But later, as he saw it more and more times and grew up, he understood what kind of mother he had. It was from that time that he began to fear and hate, and felt inferior for his mother doing such a thing.

"These past few years have been terrible." He told Ye Wenyan, "There are some things you don't understand, and I don't know how to explain them. You can seek revenge on anyone who hurts us, but when that person is your mother who gave birth to you and raised you, you have nowhere to avenge yourself.

I still can't figure out what kind of person she is and why she did those things. When she was with my father, I could see the love for him in her eyes. But when she was with others, I could also see the joy in her eyes.

She treated me very well, from childhood to adulthood, but when the truth came out, do you know what she said to my father?"
