Dao Fruit

After listening to Liu Yue's words, an inexplicable force suddenly tightened, making Qiu Yan feel his body sink and his thoughts clear.

"No! This is the backlash of the power of cause and effect involving kinship! Among the three major causes and effects, I have always been obsessed with the consequences of grudges and hatred. The cause and effect of ambition is not involved for the time being. I have indeed been somewhat neglectful of kinship!"

The power of cause and effect is mysterious and mysterious, involving all aspects, like invisible ropes, connecting people to each other, and to everything. Not to mention anything else, just the influence of luck is enough to scare people. If you don't pay attention, you will go astray and it will be difficult to turn back.

Qiu Yan himself was a god and was more sensitive to this. Of course he did not dare to ignore it. He quickly asked the reason and walked towards Pan Mansion under the leadership of Liu Yue.

In this way, with the backlash of cause and effect, Qiu Yan struggled to suppress it, and followed Liu Yue all the way, and soon arrived at Pan Mansion. Then without stopping, he followed Liu Yue into the house through the side door.

There were many servants in the Pan Mansion. Many servants and maids saw the two of them along the way. Their eyes glanced at Qiu Yan, who was wearing rough clothes. Most of them showed surprise and then ignored them.

It wasn't until Liu and Yue arrived at the door of the back house that someone stepped forward to stop them.

"Stop! Liu Yue, who are you bringing with you? Don't you know the rules of the house? Anyone can enter the back house?" The ones blocking the way were two burly men with high temples and gleaming eyes. Flashing, it is not a good thing at first glance.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Li," Liu Yue bowed quickly, "this is my cousin who went to visit Miss Sixth."

"Cousin?" The two of them looked Qiu Yan up and down. "In that case, let's go over. Go back quickly. You can only stay for half a stick of incense at most. Don't make it difficult for us brothers."

"Yes, thank you two brothers for being so accommodating."

After dealing with the two of them, Liu Yue took Qiu Yan into the back house.

Here is a small garden, full of greenery, with flowers, plants and trees all taken care of by special personnel, and the tailoring is unique, but neither of them has the intention to look carefully and walks in a hurry.

The back house was very big, and after turning a few corners, their destination city finally appeared in front of them, but it was a room in the corner.

As he pushed the door open and walked in, he could hear low sobs. Qiu Yan looked around and saw three people, two women and one man. The man was quite old. He was Qiu Yan's uncle Liu Huai. Next to Liu Huai, there was a famous man. The middle-aged woman was lying beside the bed, her shoulders hunched, and she was crying. The remaining person was dressed as a maid, waiting on the side.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Liu Huai looked over and waved when he saw it was Liu Yue and Qiu Yan.

The two walked over, and the middle-aged woman turned around. When she saw Qiu Yan, she stopped talking and burst into tears.

Seeing the woman's face, memories flooded out of his heart. Qiu Yan immediately recognized that this middle-aged woman was his aunt Liu. Then he looked past his aunt and landed on the bed, where he immediately saw a pale face. , but it was a young woman with a delicate appearance, her eyes closed tightly, her body covered with a quilt, lying motionless.

Seeing this delicate face, a series of memory fragments flashed through Qiu Yan's mind. These fragments changed rapidly and finally converged into a vivid smiling face showing a hint of shyness. But the next moment, the smiling face was as pale as the bed. faces overlapped.

This woman is none other than Qiu Yan's cousin, Pan Rongniang.

Vaguely, the power of cause and effect tightened again.

Qiu Yan suppressed the discomfort in his body. He noticed Pan Rongniang's vague breathing and the weak vitality on her body. She was clearly attached to her dying body.

"What is going on? What happened? Why is my cousin like this? Have you called the doctor to come over and take a look?"

In the past few days, there was no news that Pan Rongniang was seriously ill.

Upon hearing the inquiry, Liu Huai, Liu Yue and Mrs. Liu trembled at the same time, then shook their heads without saying anything more.

When Qiu Yan saw this, he was heartbroken: "It seems that there is something going on inside. It's really going on and on, but due to the pull of cause and effect, we can't ignore it. My predecessor in this body seems to have a certain longing for this cousin." , If you let it go, the cause and effect will come back," he thought, looking at the maid beside the bed.

The maid's face was full of panic. When Qiu Yan asked just now, she obviously wanted to speak. Then she noticed Qiu Yan's gaze. She finally couldn't help it and cried out: "It's Mr. Tang who is here as a guest. He ...He asked the master for a girl, and the girl was taken to his room. It only took half a cup of tea, and when she came out, she looked like this..."

Hearing what the maid had said, Ms. Liu, who was suppressing her emotions, finally couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears: "My poor child, Yan'er, Rong Niang misses you so much. You can come and see her. If she knows, she will also..." The rest of the words were already broken down in tears.

"The most difficult thing to break is the relationship between people." Qiu Yan sighed in his heart and remained silent. Memories about his aunt and cousin kept flowing out in his mind.

Qiu Yan's predecessor had not seen his cousin for several years, but when he was a child, Qiu Yan's mother could often see her when she was alive.

Qiu Yan's aunt Liu suffered a lot because she became someone else's concubine. She didn't want her daughter to make the same mistake again, so she always preferred Qiu Yan. In her opinion, if Qiu Yan stopped pursuing fame and fame, what would she be able to do? She can settle down and live her life. With her brother's help, she can also buy some family property. If her daughter marries Qiu Yan, she will be his wife, which is better than being a concubine for others.

This time, when she heard about the changes in Qiu Yan's family and stayed at Liu Huai's house, Mrs. Liu had another idea. Unfortunately, before she could take any action, something unexpected happened.

"The doctor has already come and said that he can't be saved. He asked him to prepare for the funeral." Seeing that Qiu Yan knew the reason, Liu Huai no longer remained silent.

After hearing this, Qiu Yan took a step forward, bent down, and looked at Pan Rongniang carefully. There was a flash of white light in his eyes, and then his expression changed.

"I was fine last night, but when I went into Mr. Tang's room to have a cup of tea, I fell unconscious. How can there be such a reason!" The maid cried beside her.

The time for half a cup of tea, converted into the previous life, is seven or eight minutes, no more than ten minutes at most. Of course, nothing can be done in such a short time, but it happened to make Pan Rongniang look like this. No wonder the maid kept talking about it.

At this time, Qiu Yan suddenly straightened his body, but Liu Yue had already held down his shoulders.

"Brother Yan, don't be impulsive. Master Tang has an extraordinary status and is not someone we can afford to offend."

Liu Huai and Liu Yue were originally worried that Qiu Yan would act impulsively after knowing the reason, so they were unwilling to tell them just now. Now that they saw Qiu Yan's actions, they dared not relax at all.

Qiu Yan shook his head and said: "Uncle and cousin, don't worry, I can distinguish the serious from the serious. This kind of matter involves human life, so you can't be careless. You should report it to the official and let the official handle justice."

"This..." Liu Yue was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head, "You are thinking too simply. Although Mr. Tang has come to Yuanning for the first time, in the past few days, there have been the prefect and several officials during his visit. The young master is accompanying him, and he obviously has a close relationship with the Yamen. If you go to sue him, I'm afraid the revenge will fall on us before the trial begins. "

After hearing this, Qiu Yan continued: "The magistrates and officials eat public food. They are the officials of the court, not the officials raised by any family. Even if they have some human relations, how can they be instigated and instigated like dogs?" What about the person who manipulates and bites the reporter? "

"joke!"

As soon as Qiu Yan finished speaking, a sneer came from the door, and then he saw a young man walking in with a long stride and an arrogant expression. There was an air of arrogance on his slightly childish face.

Qiu Yan also recognized this young man as the third young master of the Pan family whom he had met outside Pan's mansion that day.

Third Young Master Pan looked at Qiu Yan with a mocking expression: "You're going to sue the official? That's nonsense! Don't cause more chaos to the Pan family. Do you think it's not enough chaos now?"

As he spoke, his words gradually became harder, and he turned to look at Liu Yue: "Liu Yue, I see that you have studied for several years, are literate, and have the intention to cultivate you, but look, what do your family do? It's her good fortune that Master Tang has fallen in love with Sixth Sister. If she doesn't want to, she still dares to resist? Let me tell you the truth, Pan Rongniang became what she is now because she didn't know what to do and tried to resist and assassinate Master Tang!"

Then, Young Master Pan's voice became more serious and deeper: "You should be lucky that Mr. Tang is open-minded and will not hold anyone accountable. I also said a lot of good things to your Liu family. Otherwise, you think you can still stand here and cry? I don’t want to think about my own identity! However, it’s the limit to save your family. Pan Mansion doesn’t dare to keep you, so pack it up and leave.”

These words had already made Liu Huai and Liu Yue sweat on their heads, and they hurriedly thanked them.

"Okay, it's enough to remember it in your heart. We, the Pan family's family of poetry and calligraphy, have always put kindness first. You can go to the accountant later, receive this month's money and food, and then leave first. Our Pan family will not Please give me something in return." He waved his hand and looked back at Qiu Yan: "It's just that you'd better take care of your people and don't cause trouble again, otherwise I won't even be able to protect you! ? Reading is a fool’s errand!”

After saying this, he ignored the stunned people in the room and walked away.

Looking at Master Pan's back as he left, Qiu Yan smiled coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"What a combination of kindness and power! This method of driving people away, inflicting crimes at will, destroying other people's livelihoods, and making the victims grateful. Although these methods of control are still inexperienced, they have already begun to show signs. I can't say what will happen in the future. He is a well-known member of the Communist Party of China."

During the past few days of investigation, Qiu Yan also learned that Pan Yuan of the Pan Mansion was a well-known good man. But now that he saw the behavior of the Pan family with his own eyes, he couldn't help but shake his head and gained some understanding. Then he He glanced at Pan Rongniang on the bed again.

"Of course it's useless to report to the official. I know very well! This soul has been taken away by others. If you don't find it back, you won't be able to wake up! I don't know where this young master Tang came from, and he can actually take away Rong Niang's soul from his body. ! This kind of technique must be accomplished in the way of cultivating the soul, he is not an ordinary person!"
