He didn't conceal anything from Gu Danyan and Duan Chengxuan chose to give her enough trust in this matter.
The metal box explained Su Yuwan's origins and her mother's identity. The only thing that allowed Duan Chengxuan to know the truth about that year was that the letters between Master and Mistress mostly had to do with Su Yuwan. For example, she had poisoned a child before.
Mistress had wanted her to plead guilty and pay the price, but Master had softly hidden this matter away, which had also led to the quarrels all those years ago. Su Yu Wan had even hated Mistress for this matter, and some of the letters didn't seem to have been put in there.
The last letter mentioned that Duan Ling Tian had also come here, and his Master chose to tell Duan Ling'er everything. She hoped that when Su Yu Wan did something wrong, Duan Ling Tian would tell her everything and look after him.
After listening carefully, Gu Danyan was even more confused: "So you know that Su Yu Wan killed a child when she was young, but Su Yu Wan did more than just kill herself. I don't believe that you would give up on loving her just because she poisoned a little bully."
These words contained a trace of ridicule, so naturally, Duan Chengxuan was able to hear it as well.
"I was not present when Ling'er died, but I know one thing. Su Yu Wan doesn't know where the key to this metal box is, but Ling'er knows." As Duan Chengxuan spoke up to this point, a killing intent flashed in his eyes that caused Gu Daiyan to be unable to help himself from shivering.
Everything seemed to make sense.
When Princess Ling'er had died, the death of Master and Mistress had probably not been an accident.
Gu Liuyan didn't mind sharing her own clues as well: "The Zhu siblings were once her assistants, so of course she would have a way to use others' hands to kill people. Then, do you know what happened between Mu Qing and her?"
"When I left, I sent Chengshan to investigate. By the time I settled down yesterday, I had already received the news." As he spoke to here, Duan Chengxuan gave a low laugh. "His father once wanted to redeem Su Yuwan's mother from the brothel, but he didn't have the ability to do so. In the end, Su Yuwan's mother became pregnant with a rich owner's child."
"Then Su Yu Wan is the son of the rich master? Does she know? " Gu Daiyan frowned slightly.
"She only knows who her mother is, but she doesn't know that Mu Qing and she are siblings from another father and mother." Duan Chengxuan covered his forehead with a headache. The thing inside the cave earlier had almost caused him to be unable to hold back his disgust. "Her mother didn't give birth to a child of the wealthy, and instead died on the way to the wealthy owner's home."
Gu Liuyan couldn't understand what he meant, but she could see the veins on Duan Chengxuan's forehead were already popping out.
"At that time, her mother came to see Su Yu Wan before she left. At that time, Master and I went up the mountain to prepare for the winter. When we came back, Su Yu Wan said that she had already left." Duan Chengxuan painfully rubbed his temples. "I should have known long ago that Mu Qing wasn't by Su Yu Wan's side at that time."
"I don't understand what you mean."
"The thing in the hole just now is a child that has already taken shape. Although the age …"
Before Duan Chengxuan could finish speaking, Gu Pingyan's expression had already changed.
Formed Child...
"She is not worthy to live." When Duan Chengxuan was still unable to accept the truth, she had already quickly walked out. The only blanket that he had left was sliced into pieces by her saber, and it coiled around his entire arm.
The winter wind hit her face and body through the crumbling walls.
However, she knelt by the entrance of the cave and carefully took out the child that no one was willing to look at. Duan Chengxuan was even unwilling to open her wound, but the latter expressionlessly found a large enough wooden box and placed some dry grass within it, then placed his handkerchief along with the child inside.
"I hope you can join a good family in the next life."
Angele placed the wooden box into the hole and buried it slowly.
His vision gradually turned blurry, and when she opened up the flannel strip on her hand, Duan Chengxuan grabbed her hand and squatted on the ground, using snow to wipe the skin on her hand.
"It's my fault. I was wrong from the very beginning." Duan Chengxuan's voice sounded by her ear, but the wind and snow seemed to have entered his ears, confusing the fragmented words with his head. All that was left was a chaotic mess that struck at her brain until his ice-cold, numb hands were wrapped up in warmth.
She slightly raised her head and discovered that Duan Chengxuan was kneeling before her. His ice-cold hand wiped away the tears on her face while his other hand put Gu Danyan's hand into his clothes and gently wrapped around her.
"I'll forgive you for all this for the rest of my life."
The word 'forgive' was like a wooden stake smashing into the heart. Gu Pingyan woke up for a moment and only managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Who does my child want compensation from?"
"You were tricked by her, but you don't have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. You aren't even worthy enough to forgive my child!"
Gu Liuyan suddenly stood up. The pain in her legs nearly made her black out, but she still walked down the mountain path with a clear mind.
She had to return to Sky Flame City. She had to let Su Yu Wan know the price of playing with someone's life.
Even though he clearly knew that Duan Chengxuan was the one who had been deceived, he still vividly remembered everything that he had done to her by Su Yu Wan. Su Yu Wan's voice was like a devil's whisper as she controlled him, but the latter still did not believe what others had said.
Su Yuwan was everything to him.
Such a person was not to be trusted.
She didn't even know how far she had walked. She only remembered the various thoughts she had in her mind. It was as if when she lost her child, the feeling of a bloody ball leaving her stomach was still clear.
He couldn't help but cover his stomach and speed up his descent. The pain in his legs couldn't even compare to the pain of his son being taken out.
When her vision went completely dark, she felt herself enveloped in a warm embrace.
This hug is fake.
she thought.
He didn't even have the time to digest everything that Su Yu Wan had done in the past. Furthermore, on this spacious mountain peak, there was no place for him to vent his anger.
He only knew that the person who wanted to go down the mountain did not seem to hear his shouts. He had grabbed her wrist more than once in the snowstorm, but the person before him did not move, as if he had lost his soul.
The person in his embrace seemed to have lost consciousness, and Duan Chengxuan's heart sank as well.
"Damn it!" "Bastard!" He could not help but curse and took off his jacket to wrap the petite girl even tighter. He sprinted all the way to the village and grabbed the only doctor in the village out of his sleep. He almost broke the door and threw him in front of Gu Pingyan: "If anything happens to her, I want you to pay with your life!"
