Chapter 510: 266: Liren’s lament!_2

Suo Lun raised his hand and said, "It doesn’t matter who I am. After Ashi Luo killed your husband and repeatedly plotted against you, are you just going to let him continue to harm you like this? Moreover, if a demon like him becomes the Rouran City Lord, the foundation of the Ashi Clan will sooner or later be destroyed by his hands."

Ashi Liren closed her beautiful eyes, struggling deeply.

After a long while, she opened her beautiful eyes and said, "He is my brother, who once sacrificed a lot for me. I am half to blame for how he has become. Therefore, no matter what he does to me, I... can’t bear too many grievances, I can only respect him from a distance. However, if he truly killed my husband, that would be intolerable."

Then, she walked outside and said, "I will go to Qingmu Town and check with Ashi Shu about the events of that year, then I will give you an answer."

Suo Lun said, "Madam, please... be cautious in the way you approach this, getting to the truth is of course important. But, please don’t let it cost Ashi Shu his life. He has atoned for his sins, and he is the father of many children."

Upon hearing Suo Lun’s words, Ashi Liren’s gaze immediately warmed, followed by a cold voice, "With your vast powers, Lord, keeping such a person alive should be a piece of a cake, shouldn’t it?"

Then, she went out directly.

...

Early the next morning!

Fu Yan’er, who never prepared breakfast for her daughter, made Qin Qin an early morning meal and then took out a box of candy, saying, "Dear daughter, give this box of candy to Anan to eat after you get to class, okay?"

There were originally eight pieces of candy in the box, but now only three were left: a red one, a blue one, and a purple one.

Fu Yan’er thought that if she gave too many, Ashinan might not get to eat the blue piece of Demon Powder.

Qin Qin was taken aback, but she nodded her head anyway.

Fu Yan’er said, "Dear child, these candies are for Anan to eat, you must not eat them, understand? You absolutely must not eat them. If you dare to eat them, I will definitely hit you, do you hear me?"

Qin Qin’s eyes reddened, but she obediently nodded her head.

Fu Yan’er hugged her daughter and said, "Sweetheart, we’ll be able to live a good life very soon."

At this moment, little Anan called from outside, "Qin Qin, are you ready yet? My mother made a lot of snacks for you, come out quickly."

Anan disliked Fu Yan’er, so she never entered her house, always waiting outside for Qin Qin.

"Go on." Fu Yan’er kissed her daughter on the face.

Qin Qin ran out with her little backpack.

Fu Yan’er quickly followed out and saw the two little girls holding hands, walking toward the school.

Anan’s eyes lit up at the sight of the box of candy in Qin Qin’s hands, exclaiming, "What beautiful candies!"

Qin Qin shoved the box of candy into Anan’s hands.

"For me?" Anan asked excitedly.

Qin Qin nodded her head.

"Thank you, Qin Qin, you’re so nice," Anan happily said, then opened the box eagerly, took out a candy, and put it in her mouth.

Then, the two little girls joyfully left the yard.

Fu Yan’er’s face lit up with joy, and she turned back to the house.

However...

When her mother was out of sight, Qin Qin suddenly stopped, pointing at the box of candy in Anan’s hands.

"You want me to give you one to eat, right?" Anan said.

Qin Qin nodded her head.

Anan said, "There are two more, a purple one and a blue one, which one do you want?"

Qin Qin took the blue one, didn’t eat it, but hid it in her pocket.

Without suspecting anything, Anan happily ate the purple one.

...

In class, Suo Lun noticed his daughter, Qin Qin, was somewhat absent-minded, frequently lost in thought.

That wasn’t usual for her, she was always very, very serious during class.

Furthermore, her extreme intelligence meant that despite being the youngest in the class this year, she always ranked second in grades among the seven children, second only to Ashi Yuanba.

After class at noon, Suo Lun said, "Children, come have lunch with the teacher."

Immediately, the children cheered.

In the yard, Suo Lun found an opportunity to be alone with Qin Qin, and asked, "Sweetie, what’s wrong?"

Qin Qin looked up at Suo Lun with her big eyes, then took a blue candy from her pocket and placed it in Suo Lun’s hand.

Suo Lun was startled and said, "Darling, are you giving a candy to your teacher?"

Qin Qin desperately shook her head, indicating he shouldn’t eat it.

Suo Lun examined the blue candy carefully, the fragrance was enticing, very appealing, nothing seemed unusual about it.

Then, he sniffed it hard again.

Suddenly, Yao Xing said, "Master, there is some kind of evil and frighteningly potent poison energy within this candy."

Instantly, Suo Lun’s face changed drastically, and he asked, "Sweetheart, who gave you this candy?"

Qin Qin hung her head, her expression sorrowful.

"Was it given to you by your mother?" Suo Lun asked.

Qin Qin hung her head in silent admission.

Suo Lun asked, "Was it given to you?"

Qin Qin shook her head.

Suo Lun’s face changed as he asked, "For Anan?"

Qin Qin hung her head in silent admission.

It turned out that every night Fu Yan’er was unwilling to go to bed early, either preening herself in the mirror or, outright... self-abuse.

And whenever this happened, she would insist that her daughter Qin Qin go to sleep immediately, so as not to disturb her solitary world.

However, Qin Qin often couldn’t sleep, so basically every night at this time, she would lie in bed with closed eyes, pretending to sleep but actually wide awake.

By accident, she discovered her mother’s secret.

She didn’t know what this blue candy was, nor did she know why that person insisted on having Anan eat it. However, she could feel that the person had ill intentions.

That’s why she took these actions.

Without a doubt, was someone using Fu Yan’er to target Ashi Liren? This person was undoubtedly Ashi Luo.

Upon reaching this conclusion, Suo Lun immediately felt the urge to kill.

This foolish woman, Fu Yan’er, had actually colluded with outsiders?

Otherwise, why not resolve this once and for all, have mother and daughter brought home in secret, dispose of her, and then entrust Qin Qin to the care of sister Suo Ningbing? That way, she would only be happier.

But then, Suo Lun quickly abandoned this murderous intent.

No matter how foolish and bad this woman was, she was still Qin Qin’s biological mother.

However, he must quickly arrange for Fu Yan’er and Qin Qin to be taken away and brought back to Tianshui City.

Now that Ashi Luo had his sights on Fu Yan’er, he naturally would also target Qin Qin.

The thought of his daughter being watched by such a perverted fiend made Suo Lun shudder with fear.

What a fool Fu Yan’er was, fortunate that her daughter Qin Qin was smart as a whip; otherwise, it would have been a catastrophe.

...

At night, Suo Lun had already gone to bed.

Suddenly, the air grew cold, and then an enchanting fragrance lingered—there was someone at the foot of his bed.

"Ashi Shu has told everything, which completely matches the details of that year," Ashi Liren said. "My husband Yan Ping and his entire family were murdered by Ashi Luo."

Suo Lun said, "Actually, you are not at all surprised by this answer, you just didn’t want to acknowledge it, didn’t want to face it."

Then, Suo Lun took out a piece of blue candy and passed it over, saying, "Someone tried to make Anan eat this candy through Fu Yan’er."

Ashi Liren’s beautiful eyes grew cold as her stunning face behind the veil trembled slightly.

Suo Lun said, "Madam, you must decide now. You can’t let Ashi Luo continue to harm you, and you can’t let such a person become the Rouran City Lord and destroy the foundation of the Ashi Clan."

Ashi Liren said, "Aside from wanting to take down Ashi Luo, what else do you desire? Lord Suo Lun."

She directly called out Suo Lun’s name, which caught him by surprise.

After a long while, Suo Lun asked, "Is it because I’ve been too kind to Qin Qin that you saw through me?"

Ashi Liren said, "You never really intended to hide it from me, did you? Besides, your kindness to Qin Qin doesn’t count as a flaw because I am also good to Qin Qin, and Yuanba is good to her too. That child is just too lovable."

Continuing, Ashi Liren said, "What confirmed your identity for me was the matter of Ashi Luo using a plague to kill my husband’s entire family. That is an absolute secret, unknown to anyone except Sorcerer Yaomeng. That day I made a move to kill her, but she didn’t die, and you went back and took her away."

At this, Suo Lun was utterly astonished.

Ashi Liren said, "I didn’t witness any of this; I only deduced it."

Suo Lun looked into Ashi Liren’s captivating gem-like eyes, realizing this woman was far more intelligent than he had imagined.

"Come, follow me somewhere," Ashi Liren said, heading out.

Suo Lun asked, "Where are we going?"

Ashi Liren said, "Don’t you want to destroy Ashi Luo? Your wish will be granted. I’m taking you to meet someone!"
