407 Apology
Jin Liu’s attitude was completely different from before.
Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “Xiaolu, something happened at home, so I specially came to call you.”
Su Xiaolu nodded. She smiled at Jin Liu and said, “It’s fine. I don’t mind. I’ll go home first.”
Jin Liu smiled. “Miss Su, let me send you. The carriage is ready.”
Su Xiaolu thought that the carriage was indeed faster than walking, so she nodded in agreement.
The carriage parked at the entrance of the manor was already waiting.
Su Xiaolu said to Zhou Heng, “Third Brother, let’s go.”
Zhou Heng nodded.
Jin Liu smiled at Zhou Heng and said, “Young Master Su, don’t mind me. It’s just that your appearance doesn’t resemble Miss Su at all, so I didn’t recognize you.”
Zhou Heng smiled faintly and said, “It’s okay. I don’t mind.”
Jin Liu smiled. “It’s good that Young Master Su doesn’t mind. Thank you for your magnanimity.”
On the way, Jin Liu said to Su Xiaolu, “Miss Su, when are you free to come back to the residence? I want to spar with you again. Your sword technique is unique. I haven’t seen you for half a year. You must have improved a lot.”
“Sure. I’ll come over in a few days when I’m free.”
Su Xiaolu agreed with a smile. The people around Zhou Zhi were all experts. She had also benefited greatly from sparring with them. She was prepared to detoxify Zhou Zhi soon, so she had to go to his residence often.
“Alright, I’ll wait for Miss Su’s arrival.”
Jin Liu was obviously very happy.
When they arrived, Su Xiaolu and Zhou Heng got out of the carriage.
Jin Liu cupped his hands and said, “Miss Su, I’ll go back too.”
Su Xiaolu nodded.
Jin Liu looked at Zhou Heng and their eyes met. Jin Liu’s eyes immediately turned cold. He pulled the reins and drove the carriage away.
Zhou Heng lowered his eyes so that Su Xiaolu would not notice his abnormality.
Su Xiaolu and the others thought that Zhou Zhi had not discovered his identity, but he could not lie to himself.
He could not understand what Zhou Zhi wanted to do, but it was also a fact that Zhou Zhi did not want to kill him.
As soon as she opened the door, Su Xiaolu heard voices coming from the house.
It was a little familiar. It was Yan Qingyun’s voice.
What was Yan Qingyun doing here again? He clearly left at noon, so why was he here again at night?
It wasn’t even dark yet. It would only take him four to six hours to return from here.
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Heng beside her. “Third Brother, why is he here again?”
Zhou Zhi frowned slightly and said, “You definitely wouldn’t expect that he’s here to apologize.”
“Apologize?”
Su Xiaolu was a little surprised.
Zhou Heng nodded and lowered his voice. “He’s asking for forgiveness. He told Auntie that the assassination last night was done by his wife, Madam Qi, and Madam Qi had already committed suicide. He saw Madam Qi’s confession. He cried and handed Madam Qi’s confession to Third Uncle and Auntie. This matter was too unbelievable, so I specially went to look for you.”
Su Xiaolu was shocked. She remembered Zhou Zhi’s guess. Zhou Zhi was right.
Su Xiaolu was shocked that Zhou Zhi had guessed everything correctly, so she ignored why Zhou Heng went to Zhou Zhi’s residence to look for her.
“What does the confession say?”
Su Xiaolu asked.
She had the truth in her heart, but she did not dare to believe it.
“It’s about the truth about Auntie being kidnapped by mountain bandits many years ago and the truth about the assassination attempt last night.”
When he saw this confession, he was also very shocked. A stepmother had harmed her stepdaughter because of the jealousy in her heart.
The viciousness of his methods was shocking.
Su Xiaolu’s heart sank.
As she walked in, she heard Yan Qingyun’s choked voice admitting his mistake.
He said, “Mianmian, it’s all because I didn’t protect you well. I didn’t know that her heart was like a snake’s. I didn’t know.”
“You can say that she raised you single-handedly. You called her mother too…”
Yan Qingyun’s tears streamed down his face as he talked about his soul-stirring past.
From Yan Mian’s birth to the accident, he explained in detail.
Su Chong, Su Hua, and Su Xiaoling were shocked by the truth and did not know what to say.
Madam Zhao was the most miserable.
She couldn’t remember. She only knew that she used to be Yan Mian. Now that she heard about Yan Mian’s past, she felt very sad. Even if she couldn’t remember, she could empathize with her at this moment.
“S-stop talking.”
Madam Zhao sobbed.
Yan Qingyun had a pained expression on his face. He seemed to want to go forward and hug Madam Zhao, but he stopped himself. He said regretfully, “Mianmian, I’ve let you down. That’s why you’ve suffered so much. It’s all my fault for being too careless. If it were me… it’s too late to say this now. I’ve let you down.”
“Mianmian, you’ve suffered so much. I’ll do whatever you want to deal with this matter. She knows that she can’t escape death and wanted a quick death, but you can’t suffer in vain. She’s dead, but there is still her body. What do you want to do? I’ll hand her corpse to you. I promise that your brother and sister won’t have any complaints and won’t hate you because of this. I’ll publicize this vicious woman’s crimes and let her be despised by the world.”
Yan Qingyun expressed his determination. As long as Madam Zhao could vent her anger, she could do whatever she wanted with Qi Xinyue’s corpse.
Whether it was whipping the corpse or burning the bones and scattering the ashes, as long as Madam Zhao could vent her anger, it was fine.
“I don’t know what to do. You, you go back first.”
Madam Zhao was already at a loss. When she suddenly heard such important news, her world fell into chaos.
It could be said that her unfortunate life was caused by Qi Xinyue.
But now, she had a husband who was devoted to her, supported her along the way, and had sensible and filial children. If she had not been harmed by Qi Xinyue, how could she have met such a husband and children?
Madam Zhao was flustered, not knowing if she should feel sad or lucky.
Yan Qingyun was her biological father. He repented and cried in front of her, making Madam Zhao feel very uncomfortable. She couldn’t bear to see Yan Qingyun like this, but she couldn’t help him.
And neither Su Sanlang nor the children could interfere in this matter.
“Alright, don’t be anxious. Think about it carefully. Before you think about it, I won’t touch her corpse. I still have to go to the Qi family for such a huge sin. I’ll go back first.”
Yan Qingyun wiped the tears off his face.
He stood up and his gaze swept across Su Chong, Su Hua, and the others before landing on Su Xiaolu. Yan Qingyun nodded in relief and said, “You’re all good children. Fortunately, you’ve been around for so many years. The heavens have eyes. God bless.”
After saying this, Yan Qingyun staggered and slowly walked out.
After Yan Qingyun left, Su Sanlang said worriedly, “Darling, don’t be afraid. I’ll always be by your side.”
Su Sanlang reached out and wrapped his arm around Madam Zhao’s shoulder, letting her lean against him.
Madam Zhao cried, “Boohoo—what should I do? My heart is in too much pain.”
