Chapter 1308 Accepting Punishment
Mrs. Tao had already run to the side to vomit when Tao Jingfeng was dismembering the body with a ferocious look. When she heard Xi Nu's roar, she fell to the ground with a look of horror.
"Don't come here! Xi Nuo, I don't want to either, but my wife can't tolerate you. Please let me go. Ah!!!"
Tao Jingfeng screamed while shirking responsibility. His voice brought Mrs. Tao back to reality. She found that she was still sitting in the same place, but the vomit at her feet was real.
The two children looked at Tao Jingfeng, full of horror and fear. Tao Shixu even bit his lip. Tao Shiyun's body trembled slightly, obviously frightened by the bloody scene, because the two of them had just grown up in the illusion. The one-year-old baby could only watch helplessly as Xi Nu was killed, but could do nothing.
Tao Jingfeng, on the other hand, stroked his chest and said feebly:
"Xi Nu, please let me go! It was my fault, I shouldn't have killed you, but"
Before the rest of the words could be spoken, he was interrupted by Ripple:
"But you still did it. Since you did it, you have to bear the consequences. Kill someone to pay for your life. There is karma in this world."
Lianyi's voice was a little cold, instantly bringing everyone back to reality.
But Tao Jingfeng didn't have this treatment. Although he was out of the illusion, he could still see Xi Nu, whose hand was still on his chest, squeezing his heart fiercely.
Although Yu Liang and Ji Huilian were not sent into the illusion, they looked at Tao Jingfeng who had turned pale and admitted that he had committed murder. After looking at each other, they stood up, revealed their identities, and then gave Tao Jingfeng a hand. A pair of silver bracelets will take people away.
Xi Nu turned to look at Lianyi, asking for her opinion. She wanted to follow Tao Jingfeng and make him live in fear for the rest of his life to compensate for the fifteen years she had been trapped in the yard.
Lianyi didn't say anything, just nodded, and then waved his hand to give the other party a golden light of merit, so that no one who was short-sighted would take action against Xi Nu.
"Thank you, Miss Qiu."
Xi Nu bowed to Lianyi, and then instantly turned into black smoke and wrapped around Tao Jingfeng. Tao Jingfeng shook his body and touched his chest again.
Tao Jingfeng was taken away. Mrs. Tao didn't know what to do for a moment. She looked at the beauty in black cheongsam for help. The beauty said very simply:
"Mrs. Tao, there is a wrongdoer and a debtor. I can't interfere in such a matter. Please forgive me for my incompetence. This time, the reward will be waived. You can take care of yourself."
It’s clear that I don’t want to wade into troubled waters.
From the moment she saw Lianyi, Mrs. Tao knew that the matter would not be solved easily, so after the police car blew its siren and drove away, Mrs. Tao forcefully left with her two children.
But the beauty in black cheongsam stayed. She stepped forward with a smile and introduced herself:
"My name is Wen Yulian, and I study under Wuyang Taoist Master. Because I am very interested in what happened to the Tao family, I came to have a look. I didn't expect Tao Jingfeng to be such a person. It opened my eyes."
Wen Yulian said with a smile.
"There are many wonders in the world. It was because he crossed the bottom line of being a human being that he ended up like this."
Ripple smiled lightly and changed the subject:
"Miss Wen is not from Hong Kong City."
"No, it's just that there is a need there, so Master and I will stay there all year round."
Wen Yulian explained.
"Miss Wen, I'm afraid your visit this time is not just about the Tao family's affairs, right?"
"Yes, Master said that chaos is gradually rising in the world, and this is where the disaster originated, so let me come back and take a look, and while exercising myself, I can also do my part."
Wen Yulian's words were very beautiful.
"In that case, has Miss Wen found a place to stay?"
Ripple asked with a smile.
"I came in a hurry, and I haven't been able to help the Tao family now. I guess they won't pay attention to me anymore. I wonder if it's convenient for Miss Qiu to take me in? I'll pay for the room."
Wen Yulian immediately followed the lead and said.
"Just call me Lianyi. It seems that I am destined to Miss Wen. I just bought this villa. There are many empty houses. I can rent one to you. I have an income and you have a place to stay. Besides, I am timid. , we can still keep each other company.”
"Meow!"
Xuanfeng called out, not seeming to welcome Wen Yulian very much.
Wen Yulian didn't expect that the other party would directly invite her to stay just for a test. He glanced at Xuan Mao who was staring at him again, hesitated for a moment and said:
"Thank you, Miss Qiu, for taking me in. You're welcome. I'll move here early tomorrow morning."
"You're too polite. I said we keep each other company. Just call me Ripple."
After Ripple finished speaking, he invited the other party to see the room on the first floor. After confirming which house he wanted to live in, Sister Qi's meal was also prepared. After setting the table, he invited Ripple, the owner and the only guest, to dine.
Wen Yulian sat down at the table and started to eat. Both of them avoided Tao Jingfeng's family. They talked about women's topics, the latest clothing, jewelry and cosmetics in Hong Kong City, and even the property prices in Hong Kong City. arrive.
After Wen Yulian had eaten and drank enough to leave, Sister Qi came to look for Ripples:
"Miss Qiu, do you still need my help tomorrow?"
"Of course I'm coming. Do you think I'm someone who has time to cook?"
"Miss Qiu is someone who does big things. Cooking is a waste of time. Just leave this kind of thing to me."
Sister Qi smiled and narrowed her eyes. Her job was considered stable. She was not afraid of rumors about haunted houses and dead people. Supporting herself was the first priority.
On the other side, Mrs. Tao took her two children back to the hotel, but the three of them looked extremely bad, with no spirit at all, even worse than when they were unconscious before.
"Mom, what should we do?"
Tao Shiyun asked helplessly, with tears in her voice.
Tao Shixu pursed his lips, but he didn't say the word "Mom" after all.
He had never hated his identity so much. Their birth was not glorious, and their father killed their biological mother. He had called her mom for sixteen years, so he was half an insider.
This conclusion was unacceptable to Tao Shixu. His thoughts were very confused. He didn't know what to do. He had never encountered such a thing in his sixteen years of life.
Mrs. Tao has now calmed down completely. She looked at the two children she raised, sighed and said:
"I have an unshirkable responsibility for the murder of your biological mother, but I have never been so vicious as to kill people. In my eyes, your mother is equivalent to a surrogate mother, and this matter can be solved with money, not to the point of murder."
Speaking of this, she paused, looked at the two people and continued:
"You grew up in Gangcheng since childhood, and you should know that such a situation is very common there. I can't have children due to physical reasons, and I don't want the Tao family to have no successors, so I made concessions and let your father find another woman.
But you were brought up by me. Although I am not your biological mother, I have also raised you.
Your father did something wrong and must be punished, but you are not wrong, and you are already sixteen years old. As for whether you want to stay in Yangcheng or go back to Gangcheng with me, you decide for yourself."
