Chapter 108 - The Man on the Night of the Cave

Yunchu heard the maid come to report that Xie Jingyu drank the medicine, and only then did she get up and leave the house.

The carriage went out from the Xie Mansion and slowly traveled to the most lively main street of the capital, stopping in front of a cockfighting arena.

There were people coming and going, Yu Ke opened the way in front, and Qiutong and Hearing Frost escorted Yunchu into the room on the left and right.

After Yu Ke inquired about Marquis Xuanwu coming to this cockfighting arena from time to time, Yun Chu let someone book a seat on the second floor, stepping up the stairs, the upstairs is less crowded and cleaner, she sat down on the seat, ordered a pot of tea, and looked downstairs carelessly.

Cockfighting ring released two chickens, soon began to fight, the crowd of onlookers can bet, if lucky can win a lot of silver.

 Yun Chou casually took out a money bag and threw it on the tray handed to him by Xiao Er.

After about two rounds of fighting like this, Yun Chou, a person who didn't know anything, even made a small profit.

 Not long after, she saw Qin Mingheng walk in at the entrance of the first floor.

 She sat still and continued to watch the cockfight.

Sure enough, just a moment later, a voice sounded behind her, "Is it Mrs. Xie?"

 Yun Chou turned her head, stood up and bowed low, "Greetings to Marquis Xuanwu."

"This is outside, let's not talk about these false manners." Qin Mingheng used his fan to support her in vain, "I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Xie in the cockfighting arena, which chicken does Mrs. Xie think will win?"

 Yun Chu's face was cold: "If Marquis Xuanwu doesn't have a position, isn't it the same as sitting?"

There were people everywhere, the second floor was a little less crowded, but only relative to the first floor, and many of the elegant tables were seated with at least three or four people, both men and women.

 On such occasions, preaching about the great harm of men and women is a joke.

Qin Mingheng was a little surprised that Yun Chu would invite him to sit with her, but soon, he figured out that this woman should be waiting for him here.

 Last time he told her that if she wanted to know the truth, she should go to the Marquis to find him.

She didn't dare to go to Marquis Xuanwu's residence alone, so she chose such a crowded place, which was afraid that he would do something he shouldn't do?

 "Meh."

 Qin Mingheng let out a laugh and sat down at the table.

He raised his hand and took the cup of tea in front of Yun Chu into his own hands, greedily inhaling a mouthful of the tea's aroma: "The tea that Mrs. Xie drinks, it really is fragrant."

 He was about to take a sip.

Qiutong, who was standing on the side, had a cold face, the hilt of the sword in her hand pressed on Qin Mingheng's wrist, snatched the teacup, and poured the tea directly onto the ground.

"What my wife has entered her mouth, how can I send it to marquis." Yun Chu poured him a cup of tea and placed it in front of him, "Marquis, please use it."

 Qin Mingheng's face looked better.

"Speaking of which, I also have to thank Marquis for the favor of giving medicine five years ago." Yun Chu continued, "Because of the Marquis' medicine, it made my mother-in-law's health much better, such a favor, my Xie family has no teeth to forget."

 Thinking about this matter, Qin Mingheng's face turned ugly again.

That divine medicine, given by the royal family when his ancestors were protecting the emperor, was passed down to him as a family heirloom.

In order to reach the obsession, he gave that medicine to Xie Jingyu, the medicine was sent out, but the things that should be obtained, but did not get ...

"Heh, you even came to say thank you for the Xie Family?" Qin Mingheng's face was ice-cold, "You stupid woman, why don't you think about why I would have given such a rare divine medicine to the Xie family?"

"So-" Yun Chou looked at him steadily, "On the night of the wedding, it was you, wasn't it?"

After Xie Shiyuan injured Xuanwu Shi Zi, Xie Jingyu's solution was to bring her up to the Marquis and offer her to Xuanwu Marquis to avoid trouble.

Thus, she had reason to suspect that in order to cure Yuan, Xie Jingyu had customarily made the move to exchange her for the Divine Pill.

Yuan s that is a life, and she is just the wedding night ... In Xie Jingyu s mind, the life of her mother in law, naturally, is much more important than her innocence.

This explains why, for so many years, Xie Jingyu no longer set foot in her room, because, as she lost her innocence, he felt, she was not worthy.

It also explains why Xie Jingyu was able to throw away the children that had just been born and had not yet been cut off, because, those two children were not the Xie family's bloodline at all.

Yes, tiger poison doesn't even eat the child, Xie Jingyu, no matter how animalistic he was, wouldn't throw away his own bloodline, unless, it wasn't his child.

 When Yun Chou saw Qin Mingheng's face change color, she knew that she had guessed correctly.

 There was no joy in guessing correctly, only a chill that filled his heart.

In her last life, she was really too stupid and foolish to know these things until she died.

She picked up her tea, drank it in one gulp, and continued, "How do you know that the skeleton I buried was not my child?"

"Because I witnessed Xie Jingyu throw away the child." Qin Mingheng lowered his eyes, "The child was still alive in his hands and was thrown into the snow."

 Yunchu's heart clenched, "Thrown to which place?"

"Who remembers it clearly?" Qin Mingheng unfolded his paper fan, "Anyway, it was just outside of the city, probably south or north of the city, it's been too long, I really can't remember."

"Why didn't you come and tell me earlier!" Yun Chou lost her voice, "Do you realize that those two children, are also your blood and bones!"

The person who caved with her was Qin Mingheng, so Qin Mingheng was the biological father of the two children.

He actually watched Xie Jingyu throw away his two children, why, why ...

"How do you want me to tell you?" Qin Mingheng's emotions were also a bit agitated, "I used improper means to possess you, what face do I have to face you, I'm afraid you'll look at me with eyes like the ones you have now, full of loathing ... As for you saying that those two children are my blood and bones, on what grounds? Xie Jingyu, the person who sleeps on your pillow every day is unwilling to accept the children, who are you to ask me, an outsider!"

 Yunchu closed her eyes.

 She had no way to tell Qin Mingheng that she and Xie Jingyu had never shared a room.

While she had never felt icy clean, she hadn't imagined it to be as dirty as this.

 But she knew it wasn't her fault.

"Yun Chu, do you know that a long, long time ago, before I even had a wife, I had asked the Yun family to marry you." Qin Mingheng propped his hand on the table, his voice was low, "But your mother was unwilling to marry you to me, just as the emperor granted the marriage, I could only turn around and marry the Luo family's daughter, and I had sincerely wished for you to find a better husband than me, but I never thought that your mother would marry you to Xie Jingyu! I merely tempted him with a pill, and he agreed, and it was he who personally fed you the medicine and sent you to the Marquis Xuanwu residence, where you lay on my couch in a wedding dress ..."

 "Stop it!"

 Yunchu got up so violently that the chair was brought over by her.

The people in the surrounding area who were watching the cockfight could not help but look over, their eyes taking on a bit of suspicion.

 Yun Chou couldn't care less about these looks and lifted his steps.

 She had gotten the answer she wanted, there was no need to stay longer.

"Wait!" Qin Mingheng chased after him and chased him from the second floor to the first floor, "Yunchu, you and I had skin to skin contact, that is to say, there is the reality of husband and wife, no matter how much you don't want to admit this fact, it happened, I am willing to take responsibility for that night, although I am sordid, at least I am more frank than Xie Jingyu, you marry me, I ... "

 He didn't finish his sentence.

Suddenly a sweet and gentle voice came, "Marquis, Mrs. Xie, what are you two chatting about?"

 Yunchu looked at it, it was a person from the Xuanwu Marquis' residence, Luo's.

As soon as he saw his wife, Qin Mingheng's eyes immediately shifted away from Yunchu, took a few steps back, looked at his wife, and said, "Why are you here?"

"This kid is clamoring to come see the cockfighting, so I'll bring him to take a look." Luo pulled the child beside her, "Your father is here, so you can watch it with your father, I'm really not interested in this."

 Qin Mingheng took his own son's hand and left.

 Luo looked at Yun Chu and was about to speak.

I saw Yun Chou bless her body, "I'm sorry, Madam Hou, my wife is not feeling well, so I'll excuse myself first."
