Chapter 209
Looking at Concubine Liu who had fainted in the arms of another maid, he gritted his teeth, stood up suddenly, and ordered loudly: "Come here, try your best to find the eldest master. If you can find some body, rebury him. Then send someone to send Concubine Liu back home." After that, he did not stop, turned around and strode towards the sedan chair, got on the sedan chair and went back home.
Aunt Liu leaned weakly in the maid's arms, her eyes slightly opened, staring at Liu Gongquan's departing back, with a strong sense of mockery in her eyes.
.........
In Liu Xiangdong's courtyard, he was feeling much better today. He was being supported by a servant and walking slowly in the courtyard with crutches. The doctor had previously told him that he needed to exercise regularly, otherwise his leg bones would easily become crooked, but he had been in so much pain in the past that he really didn't care about it.
Today was a rare day of leisure, so he was supported by the servants as he moved around the courtyard. Suddenly, he heard a servant's loud announcement from outside the courtyard: "This servant greets the master!"
Liu Xiangdong hurriedly looked towards the door, his heart filled with joy. He immediately dismissed the servants around him, leaned on his crutches, and limped towards Liu Gongquan. His face was full of anticipation, and he asked, "Father, how come you have time to come and see me today..."
"Oh, father!"
Liu Xiangdong was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground by Liu Gongquan. As he fell, he accidentally hit his injured leg. In an instant, a heart-wrenching pain came over him, and the pain made Liu Xiangdong's voice tremble and he cried out in pain.
Seeing this, Liu Gongquan finally remembered that his son was still injured. His lips trembled slightly, and his expression relaxed for a moment, but when he saw the large number of servants nearby, he was concerned about his reputation and finally gritted his teeth, swallowed the concern that was on the tip of his tongue, and once again gathered his expression and put on a dignified posture.
Seeing this, the servants around him immediately knelt on the ground. Liu Xiangdong's servant also knelt on the ground. Seeing his son in such a miserable state, he bravely raised his eyes to look at the master. He saw that the master's face was full of anger, without any sign of pity. The servant couldn't help but shudder. How could he dare to step forward to support him?
Liu Xiangdong took a long time to calm down. He half-supported himself, his face twisted in pain, and stared straight at Liu Gongquan, his eyes filled with disbelief. He trembled and said, "Father, I'm still injured. Why are you doing this?"
"Don't call me father. I don't have a son as cruel and brutal as you who kills his brothers and sisters!" Liu Gongquan shouted angrily.
Liu Xiangdong was stunned, as if he hadn't heard clearly. After a moment of silence, he repeated, "Cruel and cruel, killing brothers and sisters? Father, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing how much pain Liu Gongquan was in, he already felt a bit guilty. But now, seeing his son's plan exposed by him, but there was no fear in his eyes, he felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
He closed his eyes, suppressed his anger, reached out and slowly took out something from his arms, and with a "bang", he threw it hard in front of Liu Xiangdong.
"Take a closer look at what this is?" Liu Gongquan said with a gloomy expression.
Liu Xiangdong was completely puzzled and instinctively wanted to reach out to catch it, but he didn't expect the object to fall directly in front of him. With a crisp sound, the jade pendant fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
Liu Xiangdong's body suddenly stiffened, and he turned his head and glared at the servant fiercely.
The servant understood and hurriedly knelt down and took a few steps forward. He picked up the object thrown by Liu Gongquan from the ground and handed it to Liu Xiangdong. At the same time, he calmly reached out to support Liu Xiangdong to prevent him from falling down due to his unstable hands.
Liu Xiangdong hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out and finally took the object from the servant's hand. The moment he saw the object clearly, his heart sank and his throat felt dry.
In fact, when Liu Gongquan threw the thing to him, he had vaguely seen what it was, but he was still a little reluctant to admit it. Now that he had the thing in his hand, and saw Liu Gongquan's face full of anger, he recalled what his father had just said, how could he not understand - he was clearly being plotted against.
Liu Xiangdong was in a state of extreme distress, his expression of shock evident. Already wounded, his face grew even paler, a fine layer of sweat dripping down his forehead and slowly trickling down his temples. He clutched the object in his hand tightly, his fingers trembling uncontrollably. He felt as if he had fallen into an icy cellar, a chill piercing his bones.
The servants around him were hushed, their heads bowed, not daring to utter a single breath. In the deathly stillness, Liu Xiangdong seemed possessed, muttering over and over again, "Impossible, this is impossible..." His voice, initially filled with hesitation and reluctance, gradually rose in volume, nearly uncontrollably, echoing repeatedly throughout the empty courtyard.
Seeing this, Liu Gongquan's heart, which had been hanging in the air for a long time, finally fell into an icy cave. He felt as if something was choking his throat, and his mouth was full of fishy and sweet taste.
A few days ago, at the spot where the eldest son was found drowned, someone uncovered some clues, all pointing to the youngest son, who was recuperating at the mansion. But Liu Gongquan refused to believe it, figuring that since the eldest son was already dead, he could let the matter go. Who could have imagined that the youngest son would be so cruel and vicious, not only killing his brother but also digging up his grave? They were brothers, so what deep-seated grudge could have irritated him to such an extent?
"What else do you have to say?" At this point, Liu Gongquan seemed to be speechless, his heart filled with anger, disappointment and disbelief. His lips trembled slightly. After holding it in for a long time, he could only ask this question in the end.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiangdong raised his head with great effort, looked at Liu Gongquan anxiously, and cried out: "Father, Father! I didn't do anything, you must believe me! I didn't do anything, I didn't harm my brother, Father, please believe me!"
Liu Gongquan simply stared at him coldly. Seeing that he hadn't even admitted his guilt yet, and only offered excuses, he felt extremely disappointed. He flicked his sleeves, turned around, and walked out of the courtyard. At the same time, he instructed the steward beside him, "Pass my order down. Send someone to escort the young master to the ancestral land tomorrow morning."
"No, no, father!" Liu Xiangdong suddenly became anxious. He ignored the pain in his leg and wanted to catch up. However, his leg injury was not good and he could not get up after several attempts. Finally, he was dragged into the house by the guards in the courtyard who were summoned by the steward.
After leaving Liu Xiangdong's yard, Liu Gongquan seemed to be exhausted and vomited a mouthful of blood.
The steward was horrified when he saw this. He was instantly panicked and rushed forward to support him. His voice was distorted as he shouted anxiously, "Master, how are you? Call the doctor quickly! Call the doctor quickly!"
In the study, the doctor came over, examined the patient, wrote out a prescription, and gave some careful instructions before turning around and leaving.
The steward quickly ordered the servants to boil some medicine and brought it over. He also helped Liu Gongquan up and helped him calm down. "Master, please take care of your health. Don't get angry like this in the future."
Liu Gongquan did not respond to him. He only heard the constant noise outside the courtyard. He frowned and asked, "Is the Madam here?"
