Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 113 Uncle 3's Secret

When the two men returned to the inn, it was already late at night. They climbed over the courtyard wall and saw that Xiao Zhao's door was closed. They didn't care and simply washed up and went to sleep.

Actually, Xiao Zhao was also among the crowd watching the excitement at that time, because the incident caused a big stir and the town was not big, word spread quickly and almost everyone knew about it. There were not many guests in the inn, and the few guests who did come out to watch the excitement. Xiao Zhao had a hunch that this incident was related to Huang Ye and the other person, so he couldn't let it go, so he ran to the scene to see if there was anything he could do to help.

What Xiao Zhao heard most in the crowd was many people whispering that this was retribution. They had killed their aunt and her daughter who had returned home a few years ago, and had swallowed up other people's money. Now the retribution had come.

That is to say, people should not do bad things. A fire broke out out of nowhere without any signs, and an extramarital affair was exposed. Isn't this retribution from God?

The next day, when Huang Ye and the other two went out to have breakfast together, they heard people talking about this incident everywhere. It was even said that they saw a big fireball flying from the sky and flew straight to the yard of their second uncle's house, and then a fire started. As for how the fire started, no one cared about it now. Maybe they started it by accident.

Xiao Zhao looked at the two culprits worriedly. Huang Ye knew what he was thinking and comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry. Hongdou is completely different from when she was a child. No one will pay attention to us. Don't panic if officials come to ask questions. It's none of our business anyway." She told Xiao Zhao about Hongdou on the way.

After dinner, Huang Ye returned to the inn and asked Hong Dou, "Now only your third uncle's family and your grandparents are left. Do you want to go burn some incense for your mother?"

Hongdou didn't say anything. After a while of silence, she said, "Those two old people have already suffered retribution. Now they live so far away without their children or grandchildren to take care of them... If it weren't for my mother's money, they would still be living in the old house. Forget it."

"My third aunt was the worst. My second uncle was not at home at that time, and she was reluctant to let her children do the housework. It was my third aunt who instigated the situation. My mother did the most work at my second uncle's house. On the morning of her death, she was still washing clothes for their family..." Hongdou burst into tears. Although she was young when her mother died, she would remember it for the rest of her life.

"Then don't let them go." Seeing Hongdou sad, Huang Ye was very angry. Even Xiao Zhao clenched his fists. If possible, he wanted to beat that family.

Huang Ye was thinking of a solution. Arson had been used once and could not be used again, otherwise people would suspect him. He had to think of a way. Those two families had already taken revenge, so the revenge on his third uncle's family must be taken.

"Do you remember what they told you to think about a few days ago?" Huang Ye asked.

"No." Hongdou was a little discouraged. At that time, even eating was a problem for her, so how could she take care of other things?

"Let's go check out your third uncle's house tonight." Who knows, we might find out something unexpected. She always believed in her good luck.

It was too dark. The two children of my third uncle had gone to bed early. The two men sneaked in. My third uncle and his wife were still helping the two families. My eldest uncle was paralyzed, and my eldest aunt was shocked and was talking nonsense like crazy. The couple who lost their children were heartbroken. The child had already been buried. In this dynasty, children who died suddenly were not allowed to stay overnight at home.

The situation at my eldest uncle's house was gloomy, not to mention my second uncle's. My second uncle was not at home, my second aunt was lying in bed with broken ribs, my eldest son was abducted, and the remaining son and daughter were like dead. They didn't speak, didn't cook, and couldn't be woken up. My third uncle and his two brothers had no choice but to prepare the meal and put it in the pot. If they were very hungry, they would eat it themselves.

When my third uncle and his wife finished their work and returned home, they were exhausted. They simply wiped their faces and went to bed. Huang Ye and Hong Dou quietly lay on the roof and listened to what they were saying.

"Husband, people outside are saying that this is my aunt coming back to take revenge. I always feel uncomfortable in my heart." It was the voice of my third aunt.

"Don't believe those things. If there really is retribution, I have already suffered the consequences for what I did a few years ago. Others say that they are jealous of our family's wealth, but they have their own mouths, so let them talk." Huang Ye stood up all of a sudden. She said that she was lucky and that her third uncle's words contained a lot of information.

"It's been so long since that happened, it should be alright now..."

The third aunt paused for a long time before continuing: "It has only been a few years since my aunt died. Although we didn't kill her directly, we did take her money..." The third aunt was a little worried: "I don't know where that dead girl ran off to. I'm afraid she will come back for revenge..."

Feeling Hongdou's body trembling and her teeth clattering, Huang Ye touched her head soothingly and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, your hatred is my hatred, I will help you get revenge."

Hongdou's face was filled with tears. She nodded, and the two of them lay down again to listen to what they had to say.

"A little girl like her will never amount to anything." Third uncle disagreed.

"Is it true that no one will find that cave?" My third aunt has become like a frightened bird, afraid of everything.

"Don't worry, that place is very secretive. Even if it is discovered, who would know it was me who did it?" The third uncle was a little impatient. No matter how smart a woman is, she will be afraid of trouble when she encounters it. When has he ever failed in doing anything?

"I heard that Mr. Lu is still inquiring about the child... I always feel uneasy..." Third aunt was still muttering.

"Go to sleep." My third uncle suddenly shouted, which scared my third aunt. She swallowed and dared not say anything else. She blew out the light and went to sleep.
