Twin Brocade

Chapter 278 Death Will
Qiao Shijie accepted the post, and after a long silence, went to Qiao Tongxuan's yard.

After not seeing her for a few days, Qiao Tongxuan has completely changed.

She was dressed in plain sackcloth, her eyes were red and swollen like walnuts, filled with bloodshot eyes, and her complexion was almost transparent and pale.Her clothes hung empty on her body, she was so thin that she almost lost her shape.

Seeing her appearance, Qiao Shijie was heartbroken and helpless, and said: "Sister, you forgot to be in front of your mother's bed. Did you promise your mother something? How sad it must be for your mother to watch you in the spirit of heaven."

Like a wandering spirit, Qiao Tongxuan said quietly without raising her eyes, "Brother, don't lie to yourself. Death is like a lamp going out. There is no spirit in the world to protect you."

"It must be my fault that my mother left me cruelly. What's the point of me being alive?"

She was raised too innocently, and under such a blow, she got stuck in a dead end and couldn't get out.She forgot what Fang Jinshu and the other sisters said to explain her.

In the days after Mrs. Qiao passed away, she could only keep thinking that she must be too disappointing to let her mother go so decisively.Taking all the responsibilities onto herself, Qiao Tongxuan unexpectedly developed a will to die.

"Tongxuan!"

Qiao Shijie was in a hurry, he didn't expect his sister to be like this after only two days.Like Fang Ziquan, he moved to live in the outer courtyard a long time ago, and his brothers and sisters can't be meticulous.

He turned his head to look at the maid serving Qiao Tongxuan, and shouted sharply: "How did you serve the master! It's all like this, and you don't know how to inform me."

The two personal servant girls were startled, and hurriedly knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

Qiao Tongxuan glanced lightly, and said: "You don't have to blame them, I'm healthy and painless, what do I come to see you for? I just think that it's easier to die than to live."

Qiao Shijie suddenly turned his head to look at her, with anger bursting out of his eyes, and slapped her loudly.The two servant girls were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and threw themselves at Qiao Tongxuan, barely able to catch her body.

This slap was so hard that Qiao Tongxuan's mouth was torn, and a stream of blood slowly flowed down the corner of her mouth.

She didn't bother to wipe it, she just lay her head up on the servant girl's body like that, and asked with open eyes: "Why, does elder brother think I'm a burden too?"

Qiao Shijie said sadly, "Look at you, what you've become!"

"My mother gave up her life for the two of us. And what about you? Who are you trying to make miserable by living like this?!" Qiao Shijie gritted his teeth and said, "Are you still counting on your father to take pity on you? You haven't Are you awake!"

"Mother paved the way for us with her life. Are you going to practice like this?"

He was so emotional that the servant girl didn't dare to persuade him to clean up the blood on the corner of Qiao Tongxuan's mouth.She saw five bright red fingerprints floating on her pale cheeks, but she didn't feel any pain.

The more excited Qiao Shijie was, the more she looked like a wandering spirit.

She couldn't forgive herself, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

She didn't know until her mother passed away that her mother's illness was caused by the root of the illness planted when she was pregnant with her.She gave birth to her desperately, but the disease was left to her mother.

But what did she do?

She enjoys the care of her mother, and thinks she is a blessed daughter of heaven, ignorant of it.She has never experienced her mother's illness, let alone her feelings, and believes that illusory happiness is the truth of this world.

Enjoying pampering ignorantly, not caring much about his mother.Even when his mother was about to pass away, he was still angry with her.Such a self was not worthy of her mother's love, so she was never very disappointed in herself.

Qiao Shijie walked around the room a few times like a trapped animal, pointed at the two maids and said, "Get out!"

The two servant girls glanced at the weak girl and then at the furious young master, how dare they go out.I have never seen the young master get so angry, what if he breaks the girl up.

"You guys go out, he's my brother." Qiao Tongxuan said, and the two helped her to sit down on the edge of the table, and walked out step by step, closing the door behind them.

Qiao Shijie sat down opposite her, and said in a deep voice, "Tongxuan, look at me! There is something I have never dared to tell you, but today I have to!"

Seeing his gloomy expression, Qiao Tongxuan frowned and said, "Since I haven't dared to say it, why don't I say it all the time. I'm a useless person, how can I help my brother?"

"This matter has something to do with my mother's death."

"What?!" Qiao Tongxuan jumped up in shock. At this moment, only Mrs. Qiao's death could attract her attention.

"Keep your voice down!" Qiao Shijie pressed her shoulders and whispered in her ear: "I suspect that my mother's illness is not so simple."

"I have noticed that it happens from time to time that women die due to dystocia and blood collapse. It is not uncommon to have sequelae, but as long as you take care of it carefully and have a few years of childbirth, even if it is difficult for children in the future, they will always slow down. It will get better slowly, and it will not be hard to return like my mother."

"Brother, what do you mean?" Qiao Tongxuan looked terrified. She never thought that there was something wrong with her mother's illness.

"The maids around my mother are all brought from my grandfather's house, so they are the most reliable." Qiao Tongxuan thought about it, and said, "Even the doctor was specially invited by my grandfather to prescribe medicine. Who can do it among them?" Hands and feet?"

"Who said that the grandfather's family must be reliable?" Qiao Shijie asked back.

Qiao Tongxuan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head, making her head to toe cold.The mother is gone, and the truth behind it is dripping with blood.Now, the eldest brother told her that even the grandfather's family can't be trusted?
"When you were four years old, your mother took us back to your grandparents' house for the New Year, do you remember?" Qiao Shijie asked her.

Qiao Tongxuan nodded and said, "Of course I remember." She didn't go back to her grandfather's house many times, so she remembered it very clearly.That was the first time she went back, and she got a lot of rewards and rare items.

"That was the time when I heard my mother and grandfather had an argument, and my grandmother was crying." At that time, Qiao Shijie was older and remembered some things.

"After two years, my mother didn't want to mention my grandfather. On the New Year's Day, I just sent someone back to give some gifts, and didn't even send a letter."

Qiao Shijie looked at her and said, "Sister, you must know your grandfather better now. Tell me, has he thought about changing a disobedient daughter to an obedient one?"

Qiao Tongxuan looked at him incredulously, and said in a trembling voice, "This...how is this possible?"

"Is there anything impossible." Qiao Shijie continued: "I'll tell you one more thing. Once, I saw the boy next to my father come out of the small kitchen. I felt strange and went in to have a look."

"What do you think I saw?"
