CH 109.3

Feng Gu was stunned for a few seconds. She was just about to get angry, but when she saw Bai Lixin’s tears, she calmed down and even softened her voice to ask patiently, “You’ve seen him? Where have you seen him? I have been searching for him recently and have not been able to find him.”

Bai Lixin cried for a while before telling Feng Gu the whole story.

“So that’s how it is,” Feng Gu said. “Yes, the black and white fox saved me twenty years ago, and after that, I began recuperating. Coincidentally, I met a wandering old master who was so skilled in healing, and I learned most of my healing skills from him.”

“He repaired my skin and helped me change my face, and I learned how to make poison from him.”

“I was fluent in the healing arts myself, so I learned quickly. I was finally done after eight years, and I said goodbye to my master. The black and white fox was still in retreat at the time, so I left a note for him and then left.”

“I practiced medicine and saved lives as I travelled south to search for Li Mingyuan’s whereabouts.”

“I finally found this place. Madam Li happened to be sick at the time, so I took the opportunity to infiltrate the Li residence.”

“I’ve been investigating that fire, but their mouths were so tightly closed that I couldn’t pry anything out.”

“To be honest, I wasn’t even sure if these two were the couple my father saved.”

“After all, so many years had passed and their appearance had changed.”

“Madam Li was kind-hearted like a bodhisattva, and as for Lord Li, he was fat and strong, and completely different from before. It wasn’t until I found something belonging to the Liu family in his bedroom that I was sure I hadn’t found the wrong people.”

“I thought about just killing them to avenge my family’s death, but my parents’ teachings calmed me down. Hatred can blind a person, and reason is the key to unlocking the mind.”

“That was until a few years ago when Bai Ban suddenly appeared.”

“I nearly jumped out of my chair when I saw that story and that face, but I held back after calming down. I knew that it couldn’t be my father.”

“I suddenly thought of someone then, or that the black and white fox was up to something and it might have come out.”

” I happened to use the opportunity to observe Madam, and saw her with a panicked expression.”

“That night was one of the coldest winters in years. The snow was falling heavily, so I brought them charcoal and got my answer as I had hoped. ”

“They didn’t start the fire, and they were inextricably linked to the death of my whole family. I wanted to simply kill her and be done with it, but then I thought of the many people suffering in the cold winter.”

“It didn’t matter if she felt guilt or remorse. Even if her intentions in doing good deeds were impure, her deeds would have saved many people in the end.”

“So I decided to let her off the hook.”

“The black and white fox suddenly showed up and killed them all. We had a big fight over it and went our separate ways after. But I didn’t forget the black and white fox’s request in the past few years and have been helping it find the whereabouts of its wife and children.”

Bai Lixin interrupted Feng Gu: “Have you asked the black and white fox if Bai Ban and that performance were his doing?”

Feng Gu nodded her head, ” I did but it wasn’t him. I was puzzled as well. In fact, I didn’t even know that it was about my family at first, I didn’t know my family had an immortal in a painting.”

She let out a long, bitter sigh, “It turned out that the man I liked had been tangled up with a ghost! It’s disgusting! I was simply blind.”

Bai Lixin’s eyes narrowed slightly. “If it wasn’t you or the black and white fox, then who could it be? Who else knows?”

Feng Gu thought about it and voiced her guess, “I actually have a guess. The only one who could know those things well, apart from Li Mingyuan, would be the scholar. The corpses of my family were burned beyond recognition in the fire, so much so that we couldn’t even identify them.”

“Thanks to my father’s love of helping others during his lifetime, many of those who had been helped took it upon themselves to erect a grave for our family, and then the bones of everyone in the Liu family were buried together.”

“I always thought the scholar was dead, but since the play says he’s still alive, maybe he is?”

Bai Lixin sensed the sadness in Feng Gu’s eyes and said, “If the scholar is still alive, do you still want to be reunited with him?”

“Heh, with him?” Feng Gu sneered, “A man who can’t even control his own lower half. What would I want with him? There is more to life than love, and since God has given me an extra life, I should use it to help others in this chaotic world.”

“I was blind before, that’s why I fell for that kind of man.”

“Maybe if I hadn’t fallen for him, none of this would have happened?” Feng Gu’s eyes were suddenly red and swollen, “Maybe if Li Mingyuan hadn’t heard him, he wouldn’t have had evil thoughts.”

“No, it’s your fault,” Bai Lixin said slowly. “Didn’t you find out from Madam Li that Li Mingyuan drugged your family in order to take the fox fur? Even without him eavesdropping, everything would have happened. And you don’t have to blame yourself, you’ve done enough, you set all those concubines free, right?”

Feng Gu’s face paled slightly, “What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you ask me where the fox fur came from?” Bai Lixin snorted, “Li Mingyuan hid it in Madam Li’s coffin. How would you have found it? The black and white fox wouldn’t have found it either; the strong stench of the corpse had long ago masked the smell of the fur.”

Feng Gu’s eyes widened as she pointed out a trembling finger to the still sobbing Bai Lixin, “You, you, dug up the Madam’s grave?”

Bai Lixin’s tears fell again, nodding as she did so, “Not only the Madam’s, but all the concubines’ graves, but there are no corpses in them.”

“You are the one who treats the whole family’s illnesses, and after the incident with the Madam, Lord Li stopped caring about the world and was busy with his own life. The power of the family’s main affairs was given to you, so you are the most likely person to have done that.”

Feng Gu looked at the sobbing young man who analyzed so calmly and she swallowed back a word: “……”

Shit.

No, she couldn’t say dirty words.

Mother and father won’t be happy about it.

Feng Gu took a deep breath and said, “You’re right, I made them have fake deaths and let them go.”

“Those few didn’t want to stay in the Li House in the first place, and some were particularly frightened. They would have tried to escape, only to be stopped by Lord Li.”

“I used to make them appear dead. After that batch, Lord Li beat up some concubines and almost killed them, so I sent them away as well.”

Bai Lixin: “What about Hu Mei’er and Brother Yun?”

“Heh, those two?” Feng Gu was a bit speechless, “Those two didn’t want to leave. Hu Mei’er has a younger brother at home, and the only way to get money is to keep taking money from the Li residence. As for Brother Yun, this was “paradise” to him.”

“Don’t look at the fact that he became a eunuch after being beaten up; he didn’t cuckold Li Mingyuan any less.”

“Other than that, why would Brother Yun leave even after being beaten? Apart from the beatings from Li Mingyuan, he lived quite a good life here. He just didn’t expect to become a eunuch after the beatings, but that gave him even more reason not to leave. Where would he go to? What’s the difference between a man like that and a castrato? Who would want to be with him?

“So don’t look at these two dancing around every day, neither of them would leave.”

“When Li Mingyuan became more aggressive and almost beat someone to death, I realized that the man was beyond redemption, and it was at this time that the black and white fox approached me again. So we cooperated again and murdered him together.”

“The black and white fox wanted to do it himself, so I was responsible for taking away the amulet he was carrying.”

“I made him hallucinate and the black and white fox killed him in his absurd hallucination.”

In the live broadcast room.[So they stayed because it was more or less cheaper.]

[What’s it called, getting paid and cursing the boss.]

[No, how much do they get paid and how much work do they do?]

[Tsk, I can’t believe that Brother Yun wad not only with Hu Meier but also with so many concubines. This was not getting a concubine, this was obviously hiring a cuckold.]

[Not only Brother Yun but also Li Yuan. Didn’t he make moves on Hu Mei’er? The way he looked at the other concubines was not right either, so I guess he already had the idea but was too timid. Even though Brother Yun was a concubine, he did what he wanted to do, but with fear.]

[This is retribution, hahahaha. The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. Li Mingyuan hurt other people’s families, and he didn’t end up with anything good for himself. He saved Li Yuan’s life, but the other party wanted to sleep with his concubines, and the concubines he married kept secretly cuckolding him.]

[This is the cycle of karma, God is true to his word!

That’s why it’s said, “goodness should not be considered trivial, and evil should not be considered trivial. “]

[Is this the only place you’re focusing on? Why is my focus on Feng Gu?]

[That’s the kind of spontaneity and poise one should have. I didn’t expect her to have saved so many people in secret, I always thought she was just a white lotus bitch. I don’t know the full picture, so I won’t comment anymore.]

[How can I put it? The values she inherited from her parents are too fine.][Is this considered a collaborative crime on her part?]

[Extra legal fanatic Zhang San: What did you say? I just took things out and put them away for the Lord.
