the seventh bride

Chapter 227 Where is the real Zhu Zhu?
Zhu Zhu struggled in a panic, and broke away from the hands of the two.

"Chen, do you still want to listen to her nonsense? Her words are simply unbelievable."

Nangong Chen glanced at the old lady, then turned his gaze to Zhu Zhu, looked down at her and said, "I'll give you 5 minutes to explain the matter clearly to me. Of course, you'd better be able to state the facts clearly. Let me be convinced, otherwise."

He didn't continue talking, Zhu Zhu knew what the consequences would be like without him talking.

Although it was a death anyway, Zhu Zhu just wanted to escape the current catastrophe. After all, if his fingers were cut off, they would be gone, unlike last time when he was beaten with a whip and he would recover in a few days.

She wiped the tears off her face with her hand again, calmed herself down a bit and said, "Actually, Mrs. Zhu is not my grandmother, but my own grandma. The real Zhu Zhu is my aunt's daughter. She Your real name is Zhu Xue, and she was the one who saved you back then. My parents sent me to my grandmother’s house to go to school when I was very young, and I seldom went back to live in Zhu’s small courtyard, so I seldom saw Zhu Zhu. We don’t know each other well. No one but grandma knew about the fact that she saved you, and she never mentioned it to others. Later, when she was about ten years old, she left Zhu’s family. Afterwards, you went to Zhu’s small courtyard to look for Zhu Zhu, my parents mistakenly thought you were looking for me, so you did.”

"Zhu Xue."

"That's right. Her name is Zhu Xue." Zhu Zhu didn't dare to speak too eloquently, because he was afraid of offending Nangong Chen again.

"Where did she go after that?"

"I'm not very clear." Zhu Zhu lowered his eyes, trying to hide the guilt in his eyes.

Nangong Chen stared at her fiercely and remained silent for a long time.

The old lady was also very surprised, she looked at Nangong Chen, felt the shock in his heart, and asked after a while: "What you said is true?"

Zhu Zhu nodded.

After 5 minutes of silence, so silent that people thought he couldn't speak, Nangong Chen finally spoke: "If you are not lying, I think this should be the case."

He paused, and then continued: "When I went back to find Zhu Zhu, your parents knew that I was the sole heir of the Nangong family, so they concealed the fact that Zhu Zhu had left the small courtyard of the Zhu family, and pushed you away. I gave it to me. When I was looking for someone, I didn’t see Mrs. Zhu, so I was tricked by your family of three and brought you back to City C. Later, my assistant went to buy a yard from Zhu’s family, and Mrs. Zhu My wife would rather die than sell, but your father forced Mrs. Zhu to jump off the building together with my assistant because he wanted a villa in the urban area. Mrs. Zhu only broke her leg at the time, but died in the hospital inexplicably a few days later. Because she is the only person who knows that Zhu Zhu and I know each other, your parents brutally killed her in the hospital in order to get the small courtyard of the Zhu family and let you marry into the Nangong family, right?"

Zhu Zhu looked at him in astonishment, she didn't expect Nangong Chen to know so much!

"No. It's not like that..." She shook her head and denied it. Knowing that Nan Gongchen would not believe her, she still denied it habitually.

"No? What's that like?"

"Me." Zhu Zhu said dumbly.

"Forget it, let's not pursue the past." Nan Gongchen asked urgently: "Tell me, where is the real Zhu Zhu?"

Zhu Zhu shook his head, and asked puzzledly: "What's the point of asking this now? You love Bai Muqing to the death, and will you care about her life? Then I'll tell you, she's married and has children now." Already..."

Nangong Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded: "There is really nothing to say."

Hearing the news that Zhu Zhu was married and had a child, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, but it soon faded away.He didn't want to go into the reason, because what Zhu Zhu said was right, what he loves now is Bai Muqing, not the former savior.

"You and I have told the truth, you will let me go, right?" Zhu Zhu became nervous again.

"Did I promise to let you go?" Nangong Chen didn't ease his anger because of her confession, but was angry because of her unscrupulous methods to marry into Nangong's family.He remembered that Zhu Zhu said when he was a child that Mrs. Zhu was her dearest and most beloved person, but today she lost her dear grandmother because of him.

Wishing to let her live a good life, but in a disappointment, she lost the most important person.He didn't even know if his little savior hated him until now, blame him!

Thinking of this, the resentment in his heart deepened.

He took a step forward, leaned over and grabbed her neck and forced her to lift her little face up, staring at her and said coldly: "Didn't anyone tell you that the thing I hate the most is deception? Can't you see the white What will happen to your family? Listen carefully, you need to pay a high price to deceive me! Now I suddenly feel that chopping off your hand and digging out your heart are far from enough. "

"What do you want to do?" Zhu Zhu asked anxiously.

"What do I want to do? Just look at the Bai family." Nan Gongchen shook off her body, took a step back, turned around and was about to walk into the house.

The old lady had also recovered from the shock, seeing Nan Gongchen turn and leave, she also turned around and gestured to the two servants.

Seeing that the two servants were about to attack her again, Zhu Zhu hurriedly got up from the ground and rushed up, grabbed Nan Gongchen's wrist and said anxiously: "No, young master. I beg you to let my parents go. As long as you are willing Let our family of three go, I... I'll tell you where the real Zhu Zhu is."

Nangong Chen turned his head and looked at her coldly: "You just said that you don't know where she is, you lied to me again, right?"

"I."

"You're right. I love Bai Muqing to the death, and there's no need to find her."

"No." Zhu Zhu shook his head: "You will definitely want to find her, and you will definitely love her..."

"Really? Are you so sure?"

Zhu Zhu nodded hastily: "And she is facing various dangers because of you. If you don't save her, she will die."

"What did you say? Say it clearly!" Nangong Chen grabbed her arm and asked eagerly, "Where is she? Why is she in danger? Tell me clearly——!"

Although Zhu Zhu was frightened by his gritted teeth, in order to fight for the chance of survival, she still had the courage to say: "I can tell you if you want, but you have to promise me one thing. Let me go. Leave Nangong's house and let my parents go."

"You—!" Nangong Chen was so angry that he wanted to hit her, he clenched his fists, and managed to hold back.

"If you don't agree to me, I will never tell you. If you drag it on, you can wait to collect her body!" Zhu Zhu said again boldly.

She didn't directly tell Nangong Chen that Bai Muqing was his destined lover just now, just for this moment, to make a final deal with Nangong Chen.Although she knew that it would feel like plucking hairs from the tiger's mouth, but in order to survive, she had to fight.

The old lady was eager to know Nangong Chen's true destined lover, so she said: "Chen, just promise her."

Anyway, when she said it out, she would still chop her hand if it should be chopped off, and her parents would also be able to deal with it if it should be dealt with.

Nangong Chen took a deep breath, and only after a while did he say: "Okay, tell me."

"I know you've never lied or cheated others, but in order for you not to go back on your word, I want you to swear." Zhu Zhu said again.

"You want me to swear?"

"That's right, if you deceived me, Bai Muqing would die a terrible death, and she would be hit by a car to death when she went out!"

"You dare to curse her?!" Nan Gongchen slapped her with a wave of his hand.

Zhu Zhu was beaten so hard that she almost fell down. She steadied her body and looked up at him with a sneer: "Don't you dare? Then you will never know who she is..."

Nangong Chen was forced by her to grit his teeth, made up his mind to swear this poisonous oath, and then resisted the urge to strangle her to death and said, "Can we talk now?"

Zhu Zhu laughed suddenly, and said, "Okay, let me tell you, this person is called Bai Muqing now, and she is the Bai Muqing you love so much!"

Nangong Chen's brain seemed to be blown by something, and he stared at her in astonishment.

"You heard me right, it's Bai Muqing. When she was young, she followed her mother's surname Zhu and lived in the small courtyard of Zhu's family. In fact, she is not as innocent and cute as you imagined. In order to become the daughter of the Bai family, she changed her name when she was ten years old. Changed her surname, and had plastic surgery to look like Bai Yingan, went to the Bai family to recognize relatives, but was kicked out by the Bai family. Later, she hooked up with Lin Annan, and later married into the Nangong family instead of Bai Yingan. In short, she has been sharpening her head since she was a child. Squeeze into the giants, but end up failing again and again."

Seeing that Nangong Chen had not recovered from the shock for a long time, Zhu Zhu turned to the old lady and smiled, "Old lady, you heard me right, Bai Muqing is the destined lover you have been looking for, you should dig her heart Not mine."

"Is what you said true or false?" The old lady asked in shock.

"Of course it's true." Zhu Zhu sneered again: "Actually, Bai Muqing knew the truth a long time ago, but she was afraid of death, so she dared not admit that she was the person the Nangong family was looking for. Nangong Chen, did you hear me clearly? Bai Muqing is really not as great as you imagined, she knows you need her, but she keeps avoiding you, and even married another man!"

Nangong Chen still hadn't recovered from the shock, and seemed to be stuck in it.

In the end, it was the old lady who angrily said to her, "You can shut up now!"

Sure enough, Zhu Zhu shut his mouth, and secretly took a breath in his heart.

From the moment Zhu Zhu said the name Bai Muqing, Nangong Chen was so startled that he couldn't come back to his senses. He didn't say a word, and he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he was like a puppet who had lost his soul. Turn around and walk step by step into the house.

The old lady watched Nan Gongchen's back leave worriedly, then turned to Sister He and said, "Lock up this crazy woman!"

Zhu Zhu was taken down, and before she left, she still did not forget to yell loudly: "Nangong Chen! You'd better not forget your promise! Otherwise, Bai Muqing will get angry and get hit by a car when she goes out!"

Her yelling resounded throughout the house, even Pu Lianyao on the third floor could hear it clearly.

Pu Lianyao saw and heard everything that happened downstairs just now, it was impossible not to worry about it.

She didn't expect Nangong Chen to let Zhu Zhu admit to arson so quickly, luckily she wasn't implicated!
But if Nangongchen really let Zhu Zhu go, it would be a ticking time bomb for her?How could she be at ease?

And Bai Muqing.

Although she was sure about Nangong Chen's condition, she believed the rumors more or less, otherwise she would not have prevented Bai Muqing from marrying Nangong Chen back then.If Bai Muqing returned to Nangong Chen's side now, it would indeed not be a good thing.
-
Downstairs, the old lady paced back and forth in the living room, murmuring: "How could things be like this? I really didn't expect it!"

After turning around, she came to Sister He, looked at her and asked, "Do you think Zhu Zhu's words are credible? Could it be that she deliberately made up a lie to escape?"

"I think so too." Sister He nodded, and then said: "But I think the young master seems to believe it, and it was a big blow."

"Well, I can see it too." The old lady sighed.

"Madam, do you want to go up and see the young master, and tell him not to believe Zhu Zhu's words too much?"

"Forget it, don't bother him, let him calm down first."

"Well, okay." Sister He nodded.

Pu Lianyao went down to the first floor, adjusted her facial expressions, and walked over to the old lady, with a concerned look on her face, she said, "Grandma, how is the matter going? Did my cousin confess?"

The old lady lowered her eyes and glanced at her, said: "I have already confessed."

"My cousin's sister-in-law is too courageous. She even dared to set fire to Nangong Chen's ancestral hall. But grandma, don't get angry." Pu Lianyao came down this time to let the old lady see clearly. Last night The big fire has nothing to do with her!

The old lady didn't have much patience to accompany her hypocrisy, she sighed and said: "Okay, I haven't slept all night, I'll go back to the bedroom and lie down first." After she finished speaking, she said to the little green will: "Look at the young master, if you When he goes downstairs, wake me up."

"Okay, old lady." Xiaolu replied.
-
The old lady went back to the house and took a nap, and when she heard Xiaolu say that Nangongchen had never left the bedroom, she began to feel a little worried.

She hesitated for a while, and finally decided to go to the second floor to see him.

When she knocked on the door and walked in, Nan Gongchen was sitting on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding a half-lit cigarette in his hand, motionless.

The old lady glanced at the cigarette butts on the ashtray, walked up to him and sat down distressedly, and said, "Chen, you didn't sleep last night, why don't you lie down on the bed for a while?"

Nangong Chen finally moved, looked up at the old lady and said, "Grandma, I'm not sleepy."

"How can you not be sleepy? Your eyes are bloodshot." The old lady sighed, and said helplessly, "You, as long as things involving Bai Muqing are always so restless, you know that Zhu Zhu is a lie Lianwen woman, you actually believe her words?"

Nangong Chen was silent for a moment, and said, "I believe this time."

"Do you really believe that Bai Muqing is your savior?"

"I believe it." Nangong Chen said.

After sorting out and thinking all morning, although there are still many doubts, he has sorted it out in general, and he also knows what's going on.

just.

"Grandma, why am I the one who knows the truth in the end?" He suddenly asked bitterly.

He was the last to know that Bai Muqing was pregnant, and he was almost the last to know that Bai Muqing survived the car accident. There are many, many other things.

"Because you trust your Zhu Zhu too much!" The old lady sighed.

"It seems so, I trust her too much." Nangong Chen smiled self-deprecatingly: "Because the memory of my childhood was too deep, I never even suspected that Zhu Zhu might be fake, and always embraced her kindness and kindness." The idea of ​​letting her go again and again, the result..."

He shook his head, really wandering around, it turned out that the person he was looking for was in his body and he didn't even know it.

"Okay, don't think about it." The old lady said, "Whether it's Bai Muqing or Zhu Zhu, they are all women without conscience, so don't worry about them."

Nangong Chen didn't speak, and took a deep breath on the cigarette butt in his hand.

"By the way, what are you going to do with this nasty Miss Zhu? You won't really let her go, will you?" the old lady asked.

Nangong Chen thought for a while, then nodded: "Let her go."

"How can I do that? She committed such a big crime! It would be too cheap to just let her go!" Thinking of Zhu Zhu's behavior last night, the old lady gritted her teeth with hatred.

Nangong Chen smiled wryly: "But I can't let Bai Muqing die badly."

"Isn't Bai Muqing already dead?" The old lady seemed to realize this problem, she was stunned for a moment, and asked in astonishment: "By the way, what Zhu Zhu said today means that Bai Muqing is still alive, right? She's not dead?"

Nangong Chen didn't answer, and the old lady whispered again: "Oh my God! How could this happen? This is incredible!"

Nangong Chen smiled bitterly, and he himself felt incredible, as if he was dreaming.

"So, she managed to escape this catastrophe. I can't let her have a terrible death. She was hit by a car and died when she went out..." Repeating the oath he had just made in front of Zhu Zhu, Nan Gongchen felt uncomfortable. He actually made such an oath!

"Is she really not dead? Then where has she been these two years? What did she do?" The old lady didn't seem to be particularly interested in these things, and she asked again before Nangongchen could answer: "Then do you really believe Is she the destined lover?"

Nangong Chen nodded, and the old lady asked again: "You mean, everything Zhu Zhu said is true?"

"It's true." Nan Gongchen said: "But there is one thing that is false. Bai Muqing is not as bad as she said. I really believe that."

"Oh, what's the matter, it's really like a TV series." After the old lady was shocked, she shook her head, then looked at him and said, "Didn't you never believe in fortunetelling, so why do you care about what you just said?" A poisonous oath?"

Nangongchen actually fulfilled his promise to let Zhu Zhu go, this hateful woman, she was really unwilling to let her go just like that!

Nan Gongchen also couldn't explain why he cared so much. In the past, he really didn't believe in these things, probably because of Bai Muqing!
Zhu Zhu really knew how to grasp his psychology, and knew how to use Bai Muqing to force him to swear.

"Grandma, don't worry, even if I let her go, she may not survive." Nangong Chen said.

The old lady nodded, this is true, Zhu Zhu and Pu Lianyao have been together for so long, how could Pu Lianyao let her go so easily? ——
Bai Muqing heard the news that the Nangong family's ancestral hall was on fire early in the morning. When she was surprised, the first thing she thought of was naturally Mrs. Jing in the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is on fire, so what about Mrs. Jing?how is she nowIf something happened to Mrs. Jing, then the old lady would definitely go crazy, right?Nangong Chen will definitely do the same.

Throughout the whole day, she was a little uneasy because of the affairs of Nangong's family. Even now, she couldn't calm down to taste the food of the new restaurant with Qiao Feng.

"How does the new restaurant taste? Is it okay?" Qiao Feng looked at her and asked.

Bai Muqing nodded, took a light breath and then smiled: "Not bad."

"Really, then eat more." Qiao Feng cut a small black pepper steak for her.

"No, I'm already full."

"Eat more to gain weight." Qiao Feng poured her another cup of milk tea: "Try the signature milk tea in the store again, you should like it."

Bai Muqing picked up the cup and took a sip, then nodded: "It's similar to the old store, it's the taste I like." After Bai Muqing finished speaking, she smiled and said, "The new store will definitely have a prosperous business."

"Well, I hope so."

The two tried food at the newly opened branch until 09:30, and then went home.

Bai Muqing drove the car slowly on the road, and unconsciously uttered a sentence when approaching the door of the house: "Hey, isn't that Nangong Chen's car? Why is he here?"

As soon as Qiao Feng heard Uncle Liu's words, he immediately raised his eyes and looked forward, and he saw Nangong Chen's car parked on the right side of the gate of the courtyard.

Why did Nangong Chen come here?Shouldn't he be busy dealing with the fire in the ancestral hall at home at this time?Suspiciously, Bai Muqing had already parked the car on the other side of the gate of the courtyard.

Bai Muqing looked at Qiao Feng beside her, and said, "I don't know why he came here."

"Let's talk after getting out of the car." Qiao Feng opened the door first.

"Wait for me." Bai Muqing followed and opened the door, got out of the car and walked around to Qiao Feng's side from the rear of the car. Just as she was about to help Qiao Feng get out of the car, Nan Gongchen had already got out of the car and walked towards her quickly.

Nangong Chen's footsteps were fast, his face was expressionless, and there was an aura related to annoyance exuding from his whole body.Bai Muqing looked at him, and before she could react, Nangong Chen grabbed her wrist: "Come with me."

The voice was not loud, but permeated with strong orders.

"Nangong Chen, what are you doing?" Bai Muqing's other hand was still supporting Qiao Feng's arm, and after being pulled by him, he let go of it habitually, but Qiao Feng raised his hand to hold her little hand tightly.

For a moment, Bai Muqing became the prey of the two. She looked at Qiao Feng and then at Nangong Chen. She didn't know what to do for a while, and twisted her wrist in desperation, trying to break away from Nangong Chen's palm. .

However, her struggle aroused more anger in Nangong Chen's body, and also made him hold her hand tightly.
