Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 305 Death of Nan Chenglin

"How do you know these things?" Bai Xun asked.

The Great Witch said sadly, "Before Xuelian died, she left me a secret letter. The method of hiding the letter was the same as the one she and I had agreed upon when we were children. Unfortunately, I didn't find the letter until half a month after her death. Your grandmother was guilty of her crime and has been plagued by nightmares since she killed your mother. She can't sleep at night."

The head of the Bai family then sent me to the Plum Garden to perform a ritual to comfort your mother's soul. It was then that I discovered the letter in the courtyard. After reading it, I learned the secret hidden in these mountains and the hideous faces of your grandparents. I also learned that your mother didn't die of illness, but was murdered.

Bai Xun felt pain in his heart and choked up, "Did my mother... have any last wishes? Did she write anything in the letter?"

"Xuelian said in the letter that if she died, her body should be buried here. She wanted to atone for her sins and wanted all the wronged souls to come to her instead of you and your brother.

Although you have the blood of the Bai family flowing in your veins, you are innocent. She was tortured to such an extent by the Bai family, and in the end she still couldn't bear to leave her child. Bai Xun, although your mother was only with you for a few years, she loved you deeply. "The witch's eyes were red.

Bai Xun gritted his teeth and tried hard not to cry.

The witch walked forward a few steps, reaching the northern corner of the depression, near the bushes, and said, "Your mother is buried here. I don't need to fulfill her last wish. Your vicious grandparents buried your mother in the Bai family ancestral tomb in front of outsiders. In fact, they secretly buried her body here.

To fulfill her last wish, I infiltrated the Bai family ancestral tomb. I opened the coffin, but found your mother's body nowhere inside. So I came here to look. I saw new soil in the middle of the grave, so I dug it up. It was indeed your mother. There was no coffin, not even a shroud. Honey had been sprinkled on her body, and she was buried very shallowly. They wanted wild animals and insects to quickly destroy your mother's remains. Fortunately, it's winter..."

Bai Xun was cold all over. He squatted down, covered his face with his hands, and tears kept flowing out from between his fingers.

"Do you still remember that you owe me a favor? Do something for me? Something that's not against the will of heaven, against justice, or that doesn't take the lives of innocent people. Something that's for the sake of justice!

The New Year is approaching, and everything new is about to begin. Bai Xun, it is up to you to put an end to the Bai family's sins! This is what your mother would want to see. If your father were still alive, he would not have allowed the Bai family to become what it is today. "The Great Witch said in a deep voice.

The mountain wind was cold and whistling, bringing a biting chill.

The bare branches swayed, making a whimpering sound, as if the wronged souls under the soil were crying out.

Bai Xun returned to the villa like a walking corpse.

Nanchun was sitting on the couch playing with the kitten. Everything was so warm and beautiful.

Only when he was with Nanchun did he feel a little warmth.

Nanchun saw him coming and said dissatisfiedly: "You finally decided to come back? You disappeared so early in the morning and didn't even tell me."

Bai Xun said in a hoarse voice, "I saw you were sleeping soundly when I left, so I didn't wake you up."

Nanchun noticed something was wrong with him, so she stood up and walked over to him. She raised her hand and touched his red eyes and cold cheeks.

"what happened?"

"Today I discussed the matter of the New Year priest with the chief witch, and when I talked about my mother, I couldn't help feeling a little sad." Bai Xun said sadly.

Nanchun held his face and kissed the corner of his mouth: "You have to be happy, then mother can be at ease. Have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"This great witch is really something. Why doesn't he prepare some food for us? There is chicken soup stewing in the kitchen. I'll ask Jindou to serve you a bowl." Nanchun said and went out to call Jindou, asking him to prepare some food.

After drinking a bowl of hot chicken soup, I felt much better.

"Eat this noodle while it's hot. It's cooked in chicken soup." Nanchun pushed the noodles in front of him.

Before he finished his noodles, Ah Fu came to report, "Master, someone from the eldest young master's household wants you to go to the old house. They say they have something important to discuss."

Seeing him put down his bowl, Nanchun hurriedly said, "Let's go after we finish eating. It won't take a while longer. If it's really urgent, he would come over by himself."

Bai Xun smiled and continued eating noodles.

After dinner, I went out.

Bai Xun lowered his voice and said to Ah Fu, "After my brother and I go to the old house, you should quickly send some medicine and gauze to the witch doctor. Remember to keep it out of sight."

"Yes." Ah Fu agreed and hurried away.

When they arrived at the old house, the man took Bai Xun straight to Baisong Courtyard.

"Brother, are you looking for me?"

"You came."

Bai Song waved his hand to let the servants leave. After they closed the door, he walked up to Bai Xun and whispered, "Master Nan is dead."

"What? Say it again!" Bai Xun looked at him in disbelief, thinking he had heard it wrong.

Bai Song sighed and said, "I know you can't accept it for the time being, but... Mr. Nan is really dead. Bai Yufeng and his men fought against the Sheng family... A fierce conflict broke out between the two sides.

Many people were killed or wounded on both sides, including Old Man Nan. Everyone on the Sheng family's side had their faces covered, and one man, who looked older, was shot twice. When someone on the other side tried to rescue him, the covering fell off, and Bai Yufeng finally saw that it was Old Man Nan.

He'd been missing for so long, I thought he was dead. Who knew he was actually with the Sheng family? Grandfather really understood Old Man Nan, and his guess was absolutely right: he had already betrayed the Bai family a long time ago."

Bai Xun seemed frozen in time, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief. His mouth half-opened, but no words uttered. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his fingertips digging deep into his palms, but the pain was far less than the shock he felt.

Bai Song patted his shoulder and said, "The dead are gone, and the living remain. Many of us witnessed how Old Man Nan betrayed the Bai family and joined the Sheng family in the conflict, and was beaten to death. This matter cannot be hidden from grandfather.

I can only suppress this news for now. Grandfather hates betrayal the most. If he knew about this, Nanchun and his mother would probably have a very bad ending. If you want to protect them, send them away quickly.

I will do my best to help you wherever I need your help. I'm not heartless. I've been with Nanchun for so long, I can't bear to see him get into trouble. Don't even think about going with him. If you keep angering Grandfather, Nanchun and his mother will only end up in a worse situation.

Send Nanchun away?

Bai Xun's body trembled uncontrollably, his mind blank, as if an invisible force had drained away all his memories, leaving only a deep black hole, echoing with the sound of his heart being torn apart.

He couldn't even keep the last bit of warmth in this world.
