What happened next was the same as the first and second cycle.
After dinner, Genria took out the letter and read the contents, stating that the person who could solve the inscription on the tablet would receive the gold and the position of the head of the Right Generation Palace. Then, the crowd naturally started to question the existence of Beador again and started discussing it.
But this time, unlike the previous two cycles, Lou Cheng, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"Actually, that's not a story. Beador really exists! I've seen her before!! "
Hearing Lou Cheng's words, the other members of the Right Generation Palace were shocked. Then, under everyone's gaze, Lou Cheng told them everything.
It happened 20 years ago. Back then, Lou Cheng was just a child. One day, she was scolded by her tutor and mother, so she was in a bad mood and ran into the forest in tears. At that time, Lou Cheng also remembered the legend of the Witch in the forest, so she thought she might as well let the Witch take her away.
Just like that, Lou Cheng walked in the forest and accidentally came to a mansion. At that time, she thought it was the Witch's residence, so she sneaked in and saw Beador there. Although she was a little arrogant, she gave off a feeling of naivety and indifference. The two of them chatted for a long time. It was also at that time that Lou Cheng found out that Beador had never left the mansion. Her father would come here once every few days and told her that there were wolves in the forest and that Beador should not go out.
Of course, Lou Cheng knew that there were no wolves in the forest, so she warmly invited Beador to go out with her.
At that time, Lou Cheng had never thought about the relationship between Beadolice and her father, but now ….
"Wait, how old was the Béatrice you saw?"
Iyu asked, looking at her sister. Hearing Iyu's question, Lou Cheng pondered for a moment.
"She must be older than me at that time, about the same age as the one in the oil painting."
"That doesn't sound right."
Cang Jiu raised his own question.
"According to the legend, Father only became rich after he got the gold. That was more than 40 years ago. If Beador was still alive at that time, she would be at least 40 or 50 years old! Was Beatrice that big when you saw it? "
"Of course not!"
This time, Lou Cheng shook his head firmly.
"Although the Beador I saw was exactly the same as the one in the oil painting, she was obviously younger. Now that I think about it, she was probably around 20 years old!"
"That is to say, the one I saw on the balcony should be Beador and Dad's child."
At this moment, Lefauf also spoke.
"Because he's a child born to his lover, he can't appear openly and can only be placed in another home. I didn't expect my dad to be so capable."
After this episode, the originally tense atmosphere became slightly more relaxed. At this moment, Fangzheng silently glanced at the pale and silent Right Generation Palace Master Xia Fei and narrowed his eyes. However, Lou Cheng didn't seem to notice it as he continued speaking.
At that time, Lou Cheng heard that Beador had been staying in the mansion all this time and had never gone out to take a look, so he simply invited her to go out for a walk.
However, something happened on the way. Beador accidentally fell off a cliff and hit her head hard on the ground. Although Lou Cheng ran over to check on the situation, Beador's head had already been smashed. Out of fear, Lou Cheng ran away. After that, because of fear, she didn't dare tell anyone about it ….
"So … I killed Beador. If I had called for someone to save her at that time, if I could have used first aid …."
With that said, the tower trembled. Fangzheng reached out his hand and gently patted her on the shoulder.
"Well, it's not your fault. According to your description, Beadolice's head was directly smashed and her skull cracked. There was no way to save her and there was no way to save her. Besides, she was the one who made the final decision to leave the mansion. I believe she won't blame you. After all, it was just an accident, and she saw the world of her dreams …. "
"Thank you, Fangzheng …."
Feeling Fangzheng's comfort, Lou Cheng finally calmed down a little. The others just looked at Lou Cheng. Eteu asked again.
"What happened after that?"
"I was scared to death. When I got home, I hid in my room, afraid that my father would scold me, but nothing happened. It wasn't until the middle of the night that Genji came to ask me what happened. I told him everything. Genji told me not to worry and that he would take care of everything …. Then …."
"None of us brothers and sisters knew about it."
Cang Jiu sighed emotionally.
"No wonder Genji is Dad's confidant. Of course, the accidental death of an illegitimate child isn't something worth telling others."
"…. That's all I know."
After telling her everything, Lou Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Over the years, she had been immersed in the guilt and self-blame of killing Beador. Because of this, every time she saw her daughter imitating the Witch, she would feel irritable and even angry and afraid. But now … she felt that she had finally walked out of this nightmare.
"Alright, Lou Cheng has confessed her secret."
At that moment, Fangzheng looked up at the Right Generation Palace Attendant, Xia Fei.
"Is it your turn now, Miss Xia Fei?" "Xia Fei?"
"Xia Fei?"
"Sister-in-law?"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, everyone turned to look at the pale-faced Xia Fei in surprise. When she heard Fangzheng's words, Xia Fei jumped up as if she had been pricked by a needle. She looked at Fangzheng in fear.
"What are you talking about!?"
"There's no point in playing dumb now."
Fangzheng stretched out his hand and pointed at the letter on the table.
"According to Lou Cheng, the Beador she saw is already dead. A dead person can't send this letter, so who sent this letter in Beador's name? I think you should have a rough idea of what's going on. In fact, I've been observing all of you. Only you, after hearing Lou Zhan's story, gradually changed your expression. Clearly, you know something else. "
"Really? Xia Fei?! "
Cang Jiu also looked at his wife in surprise. Zhu Zhixiang also looked at her mother in surprise. Feeling the gaze of the father and daughter, Xia Fei's face turned paler.
"I don't know, I don't know anything!!"
"Xia Fei!"
Cang Jiu also noticed that something was wrong with his wife. He immediately asked with a sullen face.
"What are you hiding from us?!"
"I … I …"
"We don't even know what the other party means by sending this letter. If something happens to one of us, are you willing to take responsibility, Miss Xia Fei? Like Zhu Zhixiang? "
"… …."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Xia Fei's face turned even more ashen. She looked at her daughter, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.
"Okay, I'll tell you. Actually … I killed someone! Is that okay? "
"What?"
"Killed someone?"
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked, and Zhu Zhixiang was even more surprised.
"Mom … killed someone? You're joking, right? Did you blame me for some accident just like Auntie Lou Cheng? If that's the case …. "
"No, it's not like that …."
Xia Fei lowered her head as she spoke.
"That was 19 years ago. At that time, I couldn't give birth to a child. Then, my father found me and asked me to raise a baby …."
"A baby?"
"Yes … I couldn't accept it at that time, so I pushed the baby and the servant holding it off the cliff …."
"… …"
Hearing this, everyone was silent. Fangzheng stared at Xia Fei.
"And then? Did you confirm their deaths? Like Auntie Lou Cheng? "
"How could I do such a thing? At that time, I was just confused for a moment! "
Xia Fei hurriedly tried to explain.
"At that time, I was blinded by anger! My father was disappointed in me. He even asked me to raise a child from who knows where. How could I accept it?! So, so at that time, I … I …. "
Speaking up to this point, the Right Generation Xia Fei covered her face and burst into tears. Looking at the crying Xia Fei, everyone did not know what to say. At that moment, Fangzheng's voice rang out again.
"This is interesting."
"Interesting?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Fangzheng in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"It's very simple."
Facing everyone's gaze, Fangzheng smiled.
"Look, according to the Pavilion Leader, she met Beador twenty years ago, and then Beador died in an accident. Now we all think that Beador should be the child of the Right Generation Gong Jinzo and the First Generation Gong Jinzo. Then, Madam Xia Fei told us that nineteen years ago, the Right Generation Gong Jinzo brought a baby over for her to adopt …. This isn't just about adopting a child. If I remember correctly, as a member of the Right Generation Gong Family, the baby has the right to inherit the position of the next head of the family. "
"That's right!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately came to a realization.
"Dad can't just bring over a random baby and let someone else adopt him. It's fine if it's someone else, but Big Bro's family has the right to inherit the position of head of the family. Wait, in other words …."
Lefauf's expression also changed.
"Hey hey, this is a big joke!"
"Is it really a joke?"
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes with a faint smile.
"Look, twenty years ago, Beador died, and a year later, Mr. Jinzo brought a baby to Madam Xia Fei to adopt him. What kind of baby needs to be adopted? Of course it's a child who lost his mother. But where did his mother go? "
"No, so you mean …."
Ewa also came to a realization.
"Wait, this … this can't be possible!!"
At that moment, almost everyone present understood what Fangzheng meant. The child that Jinzo wanted Xia Fei to adopt 19 years ago obviously had the blood of the Right Generation Gong Family. It was even possible that Jinzo wanted the child to inherit the Right Generation Gong Family, so he hoped that Xia Fei could accept and raise the child.
So who was the child?
Considering that Beador died twenty years ago and Jinzo brought the child back a year later, and the Beador who died in an accident was the child of Jinzo and the First Generation Gong Jinzo ….
There was only one truth.
"Jinzo and his lover, the First Generation Gong Jinzo gave birth to a daughter, the First Generation Gong Jinzo met, and Jinzo obviously had some kind of close relationship with his daughter …. This is not surprising. The First Generation Gong Jinzo also said that the Beador she met looked exactly like the one in the oil painting. Considering that the oil painting is obviously older than the First Generation Gong Jinzo met, there is only one explanation, and that is that the daughter looks exactly like her mother. Therefore, Jinzo transferred his feelings for his first love to his daughter, and the two had a child together."
Fangzheng said with a smile.
"But after that, Beador met the First Generation Gong Jinzo, left the mansion, and died in an accident. Of course, a child who lost his mother could not survive alone, not to mention that the child was still a baby at the time, so Jinzo hoped to give the child to Madam Xia Fei and let her raise it on his behalf. Perhaps he even planned to let the child inherit the Right Generation Gong Family to atone for his sins. But Madam Xia Fei was unwilling to accept the child, so she pushed the child off a cliff. Of course, generally speaking, the child would definitely die, but …. "
Fangzheng picked up the letter again.
"Now it seems that the child really survived the disaster."
"…."
After hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Hey hey, you're joking, this …."
"But …."
Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say. Although they couldn't believe that their father would do such a ridiculous thing, their rationality told them that it was very likely to be the truth!
At that moment, Fangzheng stood up.
"That's why I called her Beador. She should be called the Right Generation Gong Aili …. Let's go, First Generation Gong Jinzo."
"Huh? Where to? "
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the First Generation Gong Jinzo was also taken aback.
"That mansion."
Fangzheng pointed at the letter again.
"Didn't it say that as long as you find gold, you can inherit the Right Generation Gong Family?"
"Have you already solved the inscription?"
"Of course not. I've never been interested in solving games."
Fangzheng shook his head.
"It's just a simple thought. Look, didn't the legend of the Right Generation Gong Family always say that it was the witch who gave the gold to Mr. Kanzo? So it's very simple. The gold is in Beador's hands, but where does Beador live? Now we have the answer, don't we? "
"…."
That's right!
The others also came to their senses. Indeed, the legend of the Right Generation Gong Family's gold had been around for a long time, but they had never seen it before, which meant that the gold was definitely not in this villa. Otherwise, they would have at least seen the shadow of gold since they grew up here.
And now, from the First Generation Gong Jinzo, they learned that there was a mansion in the forest on the island, and that Beador lived in it. Wasn't the answer simple enough?
