The old housekeeper pointed at Qiuyue and Taohong.

"They were the most ordinary women from farm families in the south of the Yangtze River, but because their parents lost their land and died tragically, they had no choice but to live in the world of mortals."

Taohong raised her head and looked at Shu Yan.

"Old madam, back then you thought you were extraordinary and did a lot of things in Jiangnan. Do you know how many people lost their lives because of you?"

In fact, this Taohong girl is quite polite and even uses the honorific title. If it were Shu Yan, she would definitely curse her.

Qiuyue looked up at Shu Yan.

"My family originally had thirty acres of fertile land. Although we were not very rich, we could still afford three meals a day. But you openly encouraged land annexation. My brother started working in a factory when he was twelve years old and died after only one year. ."

When Shu Yan heard this, he sighed helplessly.

The original owner wanted to engage in an ancient version of the enclosure movement, but he failed to control the intensity of the movement and it resulted in a human tragedy.

Everything was too anxious. The original owner did these things as if he were playing a game. Everything was just a guide.

Taohong seemed to be unable to bear it. She pulled out her long sword from the wall and stabbed Shu Yan.

Shu Yan had no time to dodge, and when he was about to be stabbed in the heart, the old housekeeper reached out and grabbed the sword.

Drops of blood fell on the floor, and in this case, people's hearts suddenly twitched.

The old housekeeper looked at Shu Yan steadily.

"Old madam, do you still recognize my teacher Sun Ningze?"

Shu Yan's eyelids twitched. How could she recognize him? The old housekeeper smiled and said, "I forgot. The old lady has forgotten everything. Naturally, she cannot remember my teacher who died because of you."

This old guy really has a grudge against the original owner.

The old housekeeper pushed the door open and let the wind and snow outside blow into the house. Chen Shengzhi, who was sitting on the bed, remained silent and quite calm.

Shu Yan asked: "So you want to settle the ledger with me today?"

Shu Yan's expression at the moment seemed quite calm.

Qiuyue suddenly raised her head, clapped her hands gently, and saw Xiao Yu'er coming in from the outside. Her eyes were red, and she looked like she had just cried.

Shu Yan was pleasantly surprised when she saw Xiao Yu'er. She stretched out her hand towards Xiao Yu'er and shouted, "Xiao Yu'er, you're okay. It's really great."

But Xiao Yu'er stood still and didn't move at all.

Shu Yan's heart was shaken, and he realized that something seemed wrong.

Xiao Yu'er rubbed her eyes and cried, "Grandma, they said you killed my parents."

Xiao Yu'er is also from Jiangnan. She has no parents and lives with her uncle. If this is the case, then everything is correct.

"Xiao Yu'er, don't listen to their nonsense, come to Grandma quickly."

Xiao Yu'er shook her head and said, "When I was very young, my family's land was suddenly taken away, and my parents went to work in the town. They could only sleep for two or three hours a day, and then they died."

Shu Yan's heart ached.

At this moment, it was snowing heavily outside, and Shu Yan was shivering from the cold.

Xiao Yu'er continued: "Why are you doing such a thing? It's not good for everyone to farm, why are you driving everyone to the factory?"

Shu Yan didn't know what to say.

In a sense, the original owner did the right thing. Capital sprouts have appeared in Jiangnan. She just wants certain things to happen faster.

It got messed up.

Xiao Yu'er wiped the tears from his face. The old housekeeper whispered: "Many people have changed their destiny because of you and have embarked on a tragic future."

Shu Yan finally understood that this was a siege against the original owner.

The original owner may not have had any reason for guilt when she was seriously ill. After all, she killed so many people by herself, and a man might be able to safely blame it on the great cause of the world.

But women can only blame it on their own selfishness. If you step into areas that you shouldn't step into, you will suffer retribution that is a hundred times crueler than that of men.

So the original owner escaped.

Xiao Yu'er tremblingly picked up the knife on the ground and walked slowly towards Shu Yan. Shu Yan looked at Xiao Yu'er in disbelief.

She shouldn't believe that this child would turn a sword on her.

Shu Yan said: "Xiao Yu'er, do you want to kill me?"

Xiao Yu'er said: "My name is not Xiao Yu'er, my name is Shen Cui, my father's name is Chen Shan, my mother's name is Li Jiaojiao, I have a name and a surname."

Qiuyue, who had been silent all this time, quickly walked to Shen Cui's side, took Shen Cui's hand and stabbed it in the direction of Shu Yan.

At this moment, Asura rolled in from the window. His body was covered with burn marks, and he had obviously just escaped death.

Asura looked at Xiao Yuer fiercely, his beast-like eyes becoming more and more terrifying.

Asura directly grabbed the long sword with his hand and broke the long sword in just a moment.

Chen Shengzhi stood up from the bed, covering his wound, and walked to Shu Yan.

"Ayan, I know a lot of things that you have forgotten, but there is one thing I think I should tell you."

Chen Shengzhi had a trace of tiredness on his face, as well as a sense of relief that he was about to get rid of his burden.

Shu Yan was under attack from both sides, and Ranle would not help her. She only had Ashura as a bargaining chip.

Shu Yan said, "You tell me."

Chen Shengzhi said: "In Hangzhou, do you know why you and I quarreled and why I had no choice but to leave you behind?"

Shu Yan shook his head.

Chen Shengzhi covered his chest, trying not to show his expression, so as not to involve the terrible wound.

"At that time, you could no longer live, and you lived in guilt and panic every day. There was a three-year famine in the south of the Yangtze River, and millions of people died. The world said that you were an evil ghost from the region who only took human lives."

The three-year famine in Jiangnan was one of the main causes of civil strife in Dayin.

If Shu Yan was the original owner, he would definitely feel guilty, after all, he had killed so many people.

"I advised you to leave with me, but you believed the monk's words and insisted on being free. In desperation, I had no choice but to take the children and leave."

"But you are still stubborn and insist on supporting the little emperor. Do you know what the civil servants around him think of you?"

The old housekeeper stared at Shu Yan coldly.

"Old madam, you were originally going to die, but now you're just back to where you started."

Chen Shengzhi continued: "The grandson you raised with your own hands has abandoned you, and the granddaughter you raised by your side is your enemy. What are you going to insist on now?"

When Shu Yan heard these words, she felt funny. She raised her head and looked at Chen Shengzhi.

"Chen Shengzhi, let me ask you, did I do all those things in Jiangnan back then? When things failed, you put all the blame on me. Is this your ability as a man?"

No matter how powerful a man is, he is truly at the pinnacle of blame-shifting and is self-taught.

Shu Yan clearly felt that Chen Shengzhi looked unhappy for a moment. Shu Yan continued: "Besides, what do these sins have to do with me?"
