Chapter 497 Du Wanyun hangs herself
As soon as he finished speaking, he stabbed the dagger in his hand into his chest.
Blood surged wildly.
His face was covered with tears as he looked towards the door.
I am unwilling.
I hope they can still be a family in the next life.
As night fell, the crowd waited, growing increasingly anxious.
"Why is there still no movement? Hasn't it broken out yet?" Jiang Ningwan looked towards the door, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.
Du Wanyun was also very uneasy, twisting her sleeves tightly, "It should be soon."
She thought that the attacks usually occurred late at night, so it must not be time yet.
Everyone waited for a while.
But Qin Huaizhao couldn't wait any longer and went forward to push open the door, but it was locked from the inside.
"Ah Xian! Am I coming in?"
"How are you? Did you have a seizure?"
But the only response in the room was silence.
This made everyone stand up and walk over. How could there be no movement?
Qin Huaizhao was extremely worried and kicked the door open.
When the door was kicked open, moonlight shone into the room and onto Qin Xian's body...
There was a dagger stuck in his chest and blood was flowing all over the ground.
Everyone's face changed drastically when they saw this scene.
"Ah Xian!"
Countless urgent shouts echoed throughout the yard.
Everyone rushed in immediately, and Jiang Ningwan hurried to take Qin Xian's pulse, but he had no pulse.
His face was pale and bloodless.
Du Wanyun cried inconsolably.
Tears welled up in everyone's eyes and grief spread.
Qin Huaizhao regretted it deeply. "Just now he responded to me and said he wouldn't let me in. It seems that he was already prepared at that time..."
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have listened to him. I should have come in and taken a look!"
Ling Jinlan held his hand and said, "I don't blame you."
She lowered her eyes, "Are we pushing him too hard?"
No one expected that Qin Xian would be so depressed that he would commit suicide.
They have imagined that the most painful thing is the process of quitting drinking, but no matter how painful it is, they can persevere. As long as they quit, they can start a new life.
However, before he could start quitting, Qin Xian committed suicide.
Soon, Prince Rong learned about this.
It was like a bolt from the blue.
He then roared angrily, "Useless thing! You can't even bear this little bit of suffering and you want to commit suicide. I'll just pretend I never had this son!"
He was so angry that he didn't want to take a last look at Qin Xian and slammed the door of the study.
When he turned around, he pressed his chest in pain and spat out a mouthful of blood.
I held onto the wall to avoid falling.
His red eyes were filled with sorrow.
Qin Xian's death made the atmosphere in the mansion heavy.
Du Wanyun knelt beside Qin Xian's body, cried for a long time, and almost fainted.
When Qin Huaizhao arranged for someone to tidy up Qin Xian's clothes, Ling Jinlan took the opportunity to take Du Wanyun away.
After being taken out of the room, Du Wanyun looked back in great sorrow and burst into tears.
"I killed him..."
Ling Jinlan comforted her, "Auntie Du, don't blame yourself. None of us wanted to see this outcome, but this was Ah Xian's own choice."
Du Wanyun shook her head and said nothing, just sobbing.
She knew who Qin Xian died for.
"Let me take you back to your room to rest first." Ling Jinlan helped her leave.
But on the way back, Du Wanyun seemed to be in a state of grief, muttering: "I hurt him..."
Seeing that Du Wanyun was not in a good condition, Ling Jinlan was worried that she would be depressed, so she simply stayed with her in the room.
Talk to her to distract her.
But Du Wanyun was still immersed in sadness and guilt.
"Auntie Du, Ah Xian certainly doesn't want to see you feeling so guilty." Ling Jinlan consoled her.
Du Wanyun was slightly startled, then smiled, "Yes, he wanted me to be happy, so he left the way to live for me."
This made Ling Jinlan puzzled.
After Du Wanyun glanced at her, her tone was heavy as she spoke slowly, "Actually, Ah Xian and I have a secret."
"We are nominally mother and son, but in fact, we have already loved each other."
Hearing this, Ling Jinlan's head buzzed and his whole body stiffened.
Looking at her in disbelief.
"I know this is wrong. If this gets out, it will be a huge scandal."
"But emotions are not something that can be easily controlled."
"The prince treats me very well. I don't want him to suffer criticism. I have also considered confessing to him. At worst, I can die and preserve their father-son relationship."
"But Ah Xian doesn't want me to die, he wants me to live."
"Do you know why he won't quit drinking? It's not because he lacks perseverance, but because every time he has an attack, he calls out my name."
"Once a third person sees us, they'll discover our affair and we won't be able to hide it anymore."
"I'm prepared for the worst. As long as he can quit, I don't mind dying."
"But I didn't expect that in the end, he chose to commit suicide in order to prevent our affairs from being exposed."
Du Wanyun's voice was choked with sobs, filled with grief and regret.
Hearing this, Ling Jinlan felt as if he was in an ice cellar and his head was buzzing.
It turns out there is this reason.
She was so shocked that she couldn't speak and didn't know how to open her mouth.
On the contrary, Du Wanyun felt a lot more relaxed after telling the secret.
"This secret has been kept secret for so many years, and it's finally out."
"Actually, I've thought about it over the past two years. I'll take the money and leave, to a place where no one knows me."
“It’s good for everyone.”
"Unfortunately, it didn't go as planned."
Seeing Ling Jinlan's troubled expression, Du Wanyun held her hand and said, "Jinlan, you are a good girl."
"I'm telling you this because you might feel embarrassed and unsure what to do. I'm sharing this secret out of my own selfish motives."
"This secret has weighed on my heart for so many years. It's really too heavy and tiring."
"But I beg you, don't spread it, and it's best not to let the prince know. Just let Ah Xian leave a good impression in his heart."
After listening, Ling Jinlan nodded and said, "I won't tell you."
Qin Xian is already dead, and speaking about this matter again would be hurtful to everyone.
"Then you go back. I don't have the energy to take care of Ah Xian's funeral. I'll trouble you and the princess." Du Wanyun said as she shed tears again.
Ling Jinlan was a little worried, "Then you..."
Du Wanyun smiled through her tears, "Don't worry, I won't be upset. I just want to rest for a while."
Seeing her haggard face, Ling Jinlan stood up and said, "Then Aunt Du, please rest first."
Then Ling Jinlan turned and left.
Walking out of the room, the moonlight shone on his body, and Ling Jinlan's heart could not calm down for a long time.
She found it difficult to bear such a secret.
Hearing the crying sounds coming from the room, Ling Jinlan was still worried. After leaving, he called two maids in to accompany Aunt Du.
Afterwards, she and Princess Rong went together to arrange Qin Xian's funeral.
Prince Rong also locked himself in the study and refused to come out.
Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi returned to their room to rest, but they also tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
She simply sat up, lit an oil lamp by the bed, and leaned against the bed, feeling depressed.
"Do you think Qin Beihuang knows the solution? If we can get the solution from him, then Qin Xian won't have to die."
Qin Shuangchi also stood up and sat down, holding her shoulders. "I've already tortured him severely, but he refused to say anything."
"He himself knows that the information he knows is the only thing that can save his life. Once he tells it, he will be of no value."
Therefore, it is almost impossible to obtain information from Qin Beihuangkou.
