Chapter 354 – Convinced to Move; Misunderstandings and Broken Heart (4)
“She is, indeed, Cheng Xiao Xiao and Cheng Biyuan is my father-in-law . We were on our father-in-law’s order to come to extend our invitation toward Eleventh Elder,” explained Mo Xuanzun .
Cheng Huihui casted a glance at the elegant nobleman standing in front of her and ever so naturally dragged Cheng Xiao Xiao closer to and asked, “Xiao Xiao, you got married?”
“Aunty, no, he… . ” Cheng Xiao Xiao blushed and shyly, she replied, “He’s just a thick-skinned tool!”
“Xiao Xiao, why would you say such a thing? Father-in-law and mother-in-law had already agreed to our betrothal, I am your fiancée!” Quickly Mo Xuanzun clarified his relationship to Cheng Xiao Xiao .
Cheng Yu, looking a little better than before, was a bit surprised . He didn’t realize that the man and woman who had just saved him were Cheng Biyuan’s daughter and son-in-law . He had tried so hard to stay away from it all and, after all his family members were gone, still couldn’t avoid his fate…
He felt very complicated emotionally all of a sudden .
“I apologize, Eleventh Elder . My father-in-law did not know that there were killers after you and your family . It was entirely co-incidental that when father-in-law have his men tailing the people of Emperor City Cheng’s discovering that they have sent people toward Mocheng . It was then we have learned about what was going on and he sent Xiao Xiao and I to come for you right away!”
Mo Xuanzun looked at them intently and carried on, “I was not aware of your relationship with Xiao Xiao last time when I saved you in the valley, hence I have not reported this incident to my father-in-law immediately . ”
“That was very nice of Biyuan!”
Cheng Yu felt better after hearing his words . Then, looking at the bodies strewn across the courtyard, his eyes were full of tears . Through gritted teeth, he growled in a low voice, “These bastards . They are not even humans!”
“Grandpa… . ” The Young Cheng Lihui tugged at the hand of his grandfather and choked, “Grandpa, Hui-er misses his mommy and daddy… . ”
Cheng Xiao Xiao looked at the merely 4 or 5 years old little boy . He was still 1 to 2 years younger than Lan Lan . From his words, she could gather that his parents had already…
“Hui-er still has grandpa… . ,” Cheng Yu quickly wiped away his tears and picked up his young grandson .
Cheng Huihui was also crying . They didn’t expect this would be the outcome of the move – only the free of them left in the entire family .
“C’mon in…” was all Cheng Yu said before he turned around and headed back inside the house .
Inside the little living room was nothing but a table to dine on and a few chairs; nothing else . It was crude, but still better than Cheng Xiao Xiao’s family back then .
They have all taken a seat and the little boy Cheng Lihui, under his grandfather’s comfort, finally stopped crying . He was now sitting quietly in his grandfather’s arms and looking at Cheng Xiao Xiao and Mo Xuanzun curiously .
Before anyone asked, Cheng Yu started recounting the story of how he was being pursued by the Cheng’s . This was already the fourth time they went after him . The first time they only killed a few servants . But that was enough to frightened Mrs . Cheng Yu . The stress from that time and fatigue from the travel still got to her and she finally passed away from illness .
The second time, the Cheng’s started slaughtering Cheng Yu’s family members . That was when his son and daughter-in-law were killed . As they put up the most resistance, they also lost the most people that time . Most of the women in the household were gone, along with half of the family members .
The third time, they were in a valley just a few miles from where they were right now, the more removed nieces and nephews were also slaughtered while trying to protect Cheng Yu and his immediate family . If it was Mo Xuanzun who happened to show up and saved them, Cheng Huihui and the grandson would also have died that time .
This one time, the Cheng’s directly told them to move onto Qing’an Province . Cheng Yu refused and all of his servants were killed, leaving just the three of them .
