Chapter 12 (1)

Bingzhou Grand Governor's Office

The night was deep, and Chen Songtao was restless in the main hall of the Governor's Office. A subordinate hurriedly ran in and reported to him: "Mr. Chen, Di Renjie has been staying in the door since he returned to the house yesterday, and there has been no movement all day today."

"Well. Have you found Li Yuanfang and Han Bin?"

"It's still not found."

"Waste! It's really a waste!" Chen Songtao was furious, and thought about it and suppressed his anger, saying, "The situation is not right. Di Renjie is too quiet here. This old fox will never give up and surrender. He must be trying hard to find a solution now."

"But sir, he doesn't have a soldier in his hands, what can he think of?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." Chen Songtao's face was very gloomy: "I have a very bad premonition, and it seems that something big is going to happen. It's too quiet, too quiet..."

After a while, he looked up and said to the subordinate: "You go to Miss Chengnan's house and accompany her to the prison to visit Di Jinghui."

"Yes." As soon as his subordinate agreed to leave, Chen Songtao called him again: "Tell the lady, just say it if you want her to say something, and I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." After his subordinate went out, Chen Songtao looked at his back and sighed heavily.

Suddenly, the subordinate who had just left the house ran back, and there was a family member of Di Jinghui's mansion beside him. Both of them changed their expressions and rushed straight into the main hall with a staggering pace, shouting: "Mr. Chen, Lord Chen, it's not good! It's not good!"

Chen Songtao hurriedly met him and shouted sternly: "What's the matter? Why are you so panicked?!"

The family knelt down in front of Chen Songtao with a plop, with tears and snot on their faces, and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Master! Our lady, she, she committed suicide by taking poison!"

"What?!" Chen Songtao took a few steps back, and his subordinates quickly jumped over to support him. He was not sitting on the ground. He finally calmed down. Chen Songtao asked in a trembling voice: "Miss, she, she..."

The family shook their heads and cried: "Master, you, go and have a look."

Chen Songtao was already clear in his heart, and he immediately burst into tears. He was about to walk out with trembling, but his legs were soft and weak, almost half paralyzed on his subordinates, and he dragged and pulled out of the door.

More than half an hour later, Chen Songtao was helped to Chen Qiuyue's bedroom. He called Chen Qiuyue's name all the way and stumbled to the bed. Chen Qiuyue lay quietly on the bed, with a peaceful expression on her face as white as paper. The sadness that had been shrouding on her face over the years disappeared at this moment, with only endless dullness depicting eternal loneliness in her final face. Beside her, the elderly parents were heartbroken, and the children were crying, and they could no longer awaken her, the withered flower of life that had been withered for a long time. Chen Qiuyue was finally relieved.

"Qiuyue, Qiuyue. Why are you so stupid? so stupid..." Chen Songtao burst into tears. He subconsciously held his daughter's hand, but found that something was tightly held in his hand. When he opened it, it was a crystal-clear and moist jade pendant. Chen Songtao recognized this jade pendant at a glance. It was the love-stricken thing that Di Jinghui gave to Chen Qiuyue when he came to Chen's house to propose marriage. Today, Chen Qiuyue left with the jade pendant. Perhaps in her heart, only in this way can the heart of her beloved husband beside him forever, and there is no need to worry that he will leave. Chen Songtao's hand was shaking violently. The jade pendant fell from his hand and fell to the ground immediately broke into two halves. Chen Songtao stared at the broken jade on the ground and said gritting his teeth: "Di Jinghui! Qiuyue died because of you, you can go with her!"
