Gu Yuan, what on earth is going on? Isn't the purpose of our coming here to expose Chu Yancheng's true face and seek justice for Grandma Chu?
If he didn't want me to know, why did he bring me here? Since we entered, I haven't seen him taking this matter seriously at all. Instead, he even took advantage of me.
"Because..." Gu Yuan was just about to say something when he suddenly felt something was off.
He immediately sat up from the chair and stood sideways next to the wall. He didn't want me to listen, but he himself was listening with great interest.
"What are you listening to? I want to listen too."
Gu Yuan had no choice but to raise his hand and gently flick my forehead. My neck tilted backward.
Surprisingly, I could really hear the voices coming from next door.
"Ah... ah..."
No wonder Gu Yuan didn't want me to listen. It turned out that the two of them were doing something indecent in there.
I immediately blushed and my heart raced.
"Still want to listen?" Gu Yuan asked gloatingly.
I moved my chin and said disdainfully, "Sure, why not? We're all adults. It's a normal thing..."
Before I could finish my sentence, Gu Yuan put his finger on his lips, signaling me to be quiet. It seemed they were getting to the important part.
Chu Yancheng's voice came with gasps, speaking intermittently, "Have you taken care of them?"
The woman replied in a panting voice, "There seems to be a master on their side. I was backfired."
"A master? Didn't you take care of them on the way?" Chu Yancheng continued, but their movements didn't stop.
Even through the wall, I blushed with embarrassment. I secretly glanced at Gu Yuan out of the corner of my eye. At this moment, apart from listening intently to their conversation, he didn't seem to notice anything else unusual.
He was really calm. I didn't think much more and forced myself to stay calm and listen to them continue.
"Danzu, do I really have to do this? Isn't it too cruel?"
When I heard the name Danzu, I was completely stunned. Was she Danzu? It couldn't be. Danzu was a fairy. How could she be having an affair with such a person?
I just turned to ask Gu Yuan, but Gu Yuan directly grabbed my hand and told me not to speak and just listen.
The back of my hand was pressed against Gu Yuan's palm. His hand was actually sweating, and when he held my hand, his palm trembled slightly.
He also seemed very angry about what Danzu and Chu Yancheng had done.
I heard their conversation clearly. I never thought that Chu Yancheng would be willing to do anything, even kill his mother and son, for wealth and glory.
The cause of the matter was like this.
After Chu Yancheng's wife died during a difficult childbirth, faced with a baby crying for milk and a mother in poor health, he couldn't stay at home for a moment.
So he left without saying a word. After he arrived in the city and saw the prosperity there, he didn't want to go home even more.
He completely regarded himself as a carefree young man. Although he wasn't very good-looking, he had a silver tongue.
Li Xiaoxi was the well - known daughter of a local tycoon. She often went to the bar where Chu Yancheng worked to play.
When Chu Yancheng learned that Li Xiaoxi was extremely wealthy, he easily won her over with his glib tongue.
On the very first day they met, they had sex.
Coincidentally, Li Xiaoxi got pregnant.
Someone told Li Xiaoxi's father, Li Weimin, about this.
Chu Yancheng managed to convince Li Weimin again with his silver tongue and got his approval to marry his daughter.
In this way, he smoothly entered the Li family and became a son - in - law living with his wife's family.
However, their good days didn't last long. Not long after, when Li Xiaoxi went to the hospital for a check - up, she found that the baby had no fetal heartbeat.
Helplessly, she had to abort the baby. Li Xiaoxi didn't really care, but as the saying goes, grandparents love their grandchildren dearly.
Li Weimin had thought he would have grandchildren around his knees, but instead, he heard such bad news.
There was nothing he could do. He could only say it was a lack of fate.
But once was okay. The second time, the result was the same.
Not long ago, Li Xiaoxi got pregnant again, but the result was still the same. There was nothing wrong with their bodies. At first, the check - ups were all normal, but they just couldn't keep the baby.
Later, someone advised Li Weimin to find a mage to see if they had encountered any bad luck.
Li Weimin found the person who was now having an affair with Chu Yancheng, that is, Danzu, half - believing and half - doubting.
She calculated that there was nothing wrong with the Li family. The problem was with Chu Yancheng. He was only destined to have one child in his life.
If the current children kept coming, and if Li Xiaoxi insisted on being with Chu Yancheng, they were doomed not to have children.
Moreover, Chu Yancheng's mother had a strong life force. She had killed her husband and daughter - in - law. Li Xiaoxi's poor health over the years was also closely related to his mother's strong life force.
After hearing such words, how could Li Weimin let them stay together?
When he got home, he told them to divorce without saying a word. At first, Li Xiaoxi disagreed, but when Li Weimin explained the stakes clearly, she didn't care about their marital feelings anymore.
As the saying goes, husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly away separately.
For the sake of her own life, she agreed to Li Weimin's suggestion and divorced Chu Yancheng.
Chu Yancheng was a son - in - law living with his wife's family. If they divorced, he wouldn't get anything.
Once a person has been living a high - class life, it will drive them crazy if they fall back into poverty.
So he went to Li Xiaoxi again and begged her to give him a chance. He promised to handle things properly. He said he loved her and couldn't live without her.
Li Xiaoxi was soft - hearted. She gave Chu Yancheng the address of the Taoist priest that Li Weimin had found.
She also told him that if the Taoist priest could solve this problem, she would be willing to get back together with him.
That's why Chu Yancheng went up the mountain to find Danzu. Of course, Danzu had a condition for taking action.
The condition was what the two of them were doing now.
And the method she gave Chu Yancheng was to use the art of curse to make two people die for no reason, and there would be no way to seek justice afterwards.
If the two of them died, Grandma Chu would no longer be a bane to Li Xiaoxi, and the fate of Chu Yancheng having only one child would be broken.
Li Xiaoxi could also give birth to a child for him again, and his status as a son - in - law would be secured.
After listening to their conversation, I was so angry that I wanted to rush out and kick him in the crotch right away, making him childless for the rest of his life.
I was so angry that my teeth were grinding and my fingers were almost digging into the wall.
Just as I was gnashing my teeth, our door was kicked open.
Gu Yuan and I glanced at each other and then looked back at the same time.
