Ji Hua was held by Mrs. Ji and sat under the eaves to bask in the sun, squinting her eyes comfortably.

At noon, the old woman who went out to do laundry had not returned yet.

【Maybe he fell down, please send someone to look for him quickly. 】

Even if Ji Hua doesn’t say anything, Mrs. Ji plans to send someone to look for her.

Not long after, the old man came back with a hoe. When I heard that my wife was missing, I put down my **** and went out to look for him.

As soon as he went out, he saw the guard who was looking for her coming back carrying the unconscious old woman on his back.

The maid shouted from a distance: "It's not good, madam, the old lady fell down and fainted."

Mrs. Ji quickly put Ji Hua in Xiuhe’s arms. Instructing the guards: "Quick, get help to the room." Mrs. Ji followed in to check the old lady's injuries.

The old man behind him was so anxious that he wiped away tears.

An Yan crossed his legs as if it had nothing to do with him.

Ji Yushu was pushed forward by the maid to comfort the old man: "Master, don't worry, my mother knows some medical skills and will be able to find a solution."

The old man was startled, then he said with surprise on his face: "Okay, now that you are here, the old man can rest assured." After saying that, the old man suddenly coughed violently.

【Yeah, yeah, grandpa, don't worry, if something goes wrong, I will take action. 】

She spent all her points yesterday, so she started complaining mode and earned another 200 points. The two old men were kind enough to let them stay overnight. They were very good people and nothing could happen to them.

An Yan held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and glanced sideways at the old man. His eyes fell on his pair of clean cloth shoes without a trace of mud.

Thinking.

In the house, Mrs. Ji was about to check the old woman, but the old woman suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.

Mrs. Ji was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "What's wrong with the old lady?" Mrs. Ji wanted to feel the old woman's pulse, but the old lady pulled her hand away without leaving a trace.

Looking at Mrs. Ji with some cloudy eyes, she declined humbly and defiantly: "Madam, you must not treat a dying old woman, lest you get bad luck."

Mrs. Ji smiled helplessly: "What are you talking about, old lady? I am a businessman, so I am not a wealthy person. Let me have a look, otherwise, I won't worry."

Unexpectedly, the old lady resisted very much and shrank into the bed: "No, no, the old lady has some old problems, so I won't bother you, so as not to humiliate my wife."

Mrs. Ji’s hands froze in mid-air. Seeing that she persisted, he didn't force it anymore: "Okay, the old lady wants to rest. If you have anything to do, just let the maid do it."

"Yes, yes, madam, please go out and take care of the child quickly. The child may be hungry." The old woman lowered her eyes, and a light flashed under her cloudy eyes.

Seeing Mrs. Ji coming out, Ji Hua quickly acted coquettishly and wanted to hug her.

【How are you, Mom? Is grandma okay? 】

The old couple obviously have a son, but they are rejected by their daughter-in-law and live in this deserted village. It's quite pitiful when you think about it.

Mrs. Ji frowned and said as if unintentionally: "Why don't you let me see a doctor?"

Ji Hua was full of suspicion when she heard this.

【Why don't you let your mother see a doctor? Are you afraid of spending money? 】

There was nothing going on during the day, so An Yan and Ji Yushu were catching up on their sleep in the carriage. Mrs. Ji was worried about Lord Ji and Imperial Physician Mu in the city, so she asked a maid to inquire about the situation. At the same time, ask the maid to get some medicine and prepare it in case of emergency.

In the afternoon, the old woman has been sleeping.

Mrs. Ji was holding Ji Hua in her arms and basking in the sun in the courtyard. The warm sunlight hit her body and she squinted her eyes comfortably, and fell asleep unconsciously.

At about midnight, a maid and a woman felt unwell. Bu Xiao said that he had symptoms of infection.

The maid who went out to inquire never came back. Mrs. Ji was so anxious that she had to hand Jihua to Xiuhe. She went out to look for herbs. Ji Yushu didn't trust her, so he asked one of the guards to accompany her.

As the sun set, the chill began to creep in. Xiuhe carried the sleeping Jihua into the bed in the back room and covered her with a quilt. Then he went to do other things.

An Yan has been paying attention to Xiu He, and when he saw her putting the little monster alone in the house, he knew the time had come. Pretending to be bored, he walked to the back room. "Ouch, I'm a little thirsty. Let's go inside and get a glass of water." Ji Yushu watched him enter the room and was more cautious.

I didn’t want to think about it, but not long after, something unexpected happened. An old woman's shrill scream came from inside: "Someone is coming, someone is coming quickly, it's time to kill someone."

At this time, Mrs. Ji happened to be back from collecting medicine. When she heard the screams, she and Ji Yushu hurried into the house, just in time to see An Yan smash the old woman on the bed to death with a hoe. The old man still lay on the ground with his eyes open.

The two of them were shocked.

“Mom, brother, I heard them coming”

"Snapped-"

Before An Yan could finish speaking, Mrs. Ji slapped An Yan on the face angrily, and said sadly: "Are you crazy? Are you crazy? It's true that I had too high expectations for you, thinking that you would really put down the butcher knife. , change your evil ways, but I don’t want you to be bloodthirsty because you will kill someone for a fruit.”

Looking at his behavior these days, she really felt pity for this child who had no father or mother and looked similar to Ji Linfeng. She wanted to use love to influence him and guide him onto the right path. However, he actually killed this helpless old couple because of a wild fruit.

"You disappoint me so much." Mrs. Ji's words and disappointed look hurt An Yan's heart.

It turns out that this is how she sees him. He is a killer, but how could he kill someone just because of a wild fruit?

He roared angrily: "Why are you disappointed in me? Why are you?" He didn't even hear him finish his words. How could he say that he was bloodthirsty? How could he conclude that he didn't want to change his ways?

Ji Hua in the next room was awakened by An Yan's roar. She didn't know what happened? He stared at a pair of round and black eyes and listened to the conversation here with his ears pricked.

Then I heard my mother's angry voice: "Why? Just because you are so similar to Feng'er, as a mother, you should take good care of you. Look at the image of a murderous maniac you are now."

"Ha." An Yan smiled coldly: "Mother? Shouldn't a mother believe in her children unconditionally? But what about you, you insist that I killed them because of a fruit without even asking the reason?"

Mrs. Ji laughed angrily at his words, "Then why did you come to this room? Don't tell me you went to the wrong place."

“I didn’t go wrong because I”

“Do you still want to say that they want to kill you? How ridiculous!”

Mrs. Ji has always been gentle and kind, and rarely gets so angry. It can be seen that there is some expectation for An Yan. Even if he was not a child of the Ji family, he was still a pitiful man, and she could see that he longed for family affection.

An Yan stood there in a daze, feeling cold all over. For a moment, he felt that the person in front of him would be a good mother. Even if he was not a child of the Ji family, he would respect her and protect her. But now, she sternly concluded that he had killed someone.

An Yan stood there in despair, extremely uneasy, as if something was about to leave him.

Mrs. Ji cruelly called two guards and said, "Tie him up and wait for the Marquis to come back and punish him."

Ji Yushu felt that there might be a hidden meaning in this matter, so he reached out and pulled Mrs. Ji, "Mom, why don't you listen to what he has to say first. Maybe there is a hidden meaning in this matter."

"During the day, I saw with my own eyes that he showed murderous intent towards the old lady because of a piece of fruit." Mrs. Ji's beautiful eyes were filled with anger. She had warned him at that time, but she never thought that he still had murderous intentions.

An Yan looked at Mrs. Ji in disbelief and spoke for the last time: "Do you really think I would kill these two people because of a fruit?"

Mrs. Ji didn't look at An Yan anymore and said coldly: "Isn't it true? A bloodthirsty killer has already regarded human life as nothing."

An Yan's heart was so cold that he kicked away the Ji family guard who came to tie him up. He said angrily: "Okay, okay, I'm bloodthirsty, right? Then I'll show you my bloodthirsty."

An Yan ran away, kicked away two guards and escaped through the window.

If he wants to escape, no one can stop him.

It was getting dark, and Mrs. Ji arranged for her servants to prepare the funeral arrangements for the two old men. The two old men also had sons in the city, so it was unreasonable not to notify them.

This matter originated from the Ji family, and she will not shirk from the responsibilities she has to fulfill afterwards.

Mrs. Ji was so heartbroken about An Yan that she didn't even eat dinner. Jihua was very worried about her.

She was thinking that although An Yan was a killer, he had changed a lot because of the similarity between her and Ji Linfeng. Almost all the killers she encountered on the road died at his hands, and he was the one who protected Imperial Physician Mu along the way. She vaguely felt that An Yan truly regarded the Ji family as his family.

Is there another secret behind what happened today?

If there is really something hidden, what can two old people do?

The more Ji Hua thought about it, the more she felt that she had missed some important information.
