Chapter 2235 The Reality that Is Gradually Approaching
Next, it is the same as the first and second rounds.
After dinner, Maria took out the letter and read out the contents, saying that whoever can unlock the inscription will get the gold and the title of Patriarch of the Ushiro Palace, and then everyone naturally spoke to Beato again. Doubts arose about the existence of Li Qie, and discussions began.
But this time, unlike the previous two weeks, Lou Zuo, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"Actually, that's not a story, Beatrice really exists! I've seen her before!!"
Hearing Lou Zuo's words, the other people in Ushiro Palace were shocked, and then, under the gaze of everyone, Lou Zuo explained everything.
That was twenty years ago. At that time, Lou Zuo was just a child. One day she was scolded by her tutor and mother, so she was in a bad mood and ran to the forest crying. At that time, Lou Zuo also thought of the legend of the witch in the forest, so she thought that she would just let the witch take her away.
In this way, Lou Zuo was walking in the forest, and accidentally came to a foreign mansion. At that time, she thought it was the residence of the witch, so she ran in secretly, and there, Lou Zuo saw Beatrice. Although her attitude was a bit arrogant, it gave people a feeling of innocence and disharmony in the world. The two talked a lot at that time. And at that time, Lou Zuo knew that Beatrice had never left this mansion, and her father would come here every few days, and told her that there were wolves in the forest, and told Beatrice not to go out .
However, Lou Zuo knew that there were no wolves in the forest at all, so she very warmly invited Beatrice to go out together.
For Lou Zuo at the time, she seemed to have never thought about the relationship between Beatrice and her father, but now...
"Wait, how old is that Beatrice you saw?"
Looking at his younger sister, Ewa asked, and hearing Ewa's inquiry, Lou Zuo thought for a while.
"If you want to say it, I must be older than me at that time. It should be said that I am about the same age as when I was on the oil painting."
"That's not right."
At this time, the eldest brother Cangjiu raised his own doubts.
"According to the legend, it was more than 40 years ago that my father got the gold, and it was more than 40 years ago. That is to say, if Beatrice was still alive at that time, she must be at least 40 or 50 years old. Is the Beatrice you saw that big?"
"of course not!"
This time Lou Zuo shook his head very positively.
"Although the Beatrice I saw at the time was indeed exactly the same as the oil painting, but if you want to talk about her age, she is obviously younger. Now that I think about it, I think she is about twenty years old!"
"In other words, what the balcony saw at that time should be the child born to Beatrice and her father."
At this time Liufufu also spoke.
"Because it's a child born to a lover, so there's no way to show up in a fair manner, so it can only be fostered in the other hall——I didn't expect my father to be quite capable."
After this episode, the originally tense atmosphere became a little more relaxed. At this moment, Fang Zheng silently glanced at the pale and silent Concubine You Daigong Xia, and narrowed his eyes. But Lou Zuo didn't seem to notice, but continued talking.
At that time, Lou Za just invited her out because she heard that Beatrice had been staying in this mansion and had never gone out to see it.
However, something happened on the way. Beatrice accidentally fell off the cliff and hit her head heavily on the ground. Although the tower ran over to check the situation, Beatrice had already been smashed. head, so in fear, Lou Zuo ran away in fear. And after that, because of fear, she didn't dare to tell anyone about it...
"So... I killed Beatrice. If I had asked someone to save her at that time, if I could have taken emergency measures..."
Speaking of this, Lou Zuo also trembled all over, while Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder lightly.
"Okay, it's not your fault. According to your description, Beatrice's head was directly smashed, and her skull was broken. There was no way to recover, and there was no way to save her. Moreover, she finally made a decision to leave that ocean. She is also in the restaurant, I believe she will not blame you, after all, it was just an accident, and she saw the world she dreamed of..."
"Thank you, Fangzheng..."
Feeling Fangzheng's comfort, Lou Zuo finally calmed down somewhat, while the others just looked at Lou Zuo, and then Eu asked again.
"And after that?"
"I was terribly scared. After I got home, I kept hiding in my room, afraid that my father would come and scold me, but nothing happened. It wasn't until midnight that Genji came to ask me what happened, and then I put the I told him everything, and then Genji reassured me not to worry, everything will be handled by him...then..."
"None of us brothers and sisters knew about it."
At this time, Zangjiu also sighed with emotion.
"Looking at the source, you are worthy of being my father's confidant. Of course, the accidental death of an illegitimate child is not something worth telling others."
"...that's all I know."
After finishing everything, Lou Zuo also breathed a sigh of relief. Over the years, she has been immersed in the self-blame and guilt that killed Beatrice and couldn't extricate herself. Because of this, every time she sees her daughter When imitating the witch, Lou Zuo would feel restless and even angry and fearful, but now...she feels that she has finally come out of this nightmare.
"Well, Louza has confessed her secret."
At this time, Fangzheng raised his head and looked at Concubine Xia of the Right Dai Gong.
"Then is it up to you next? Ms. Concubine Xia?"
"Concubine Xia?"
"Sister-in-law?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, everyone turned their heads in amazement to look at the pale-faced Concubine Xia of Youdai Gong, and hearing Fang Zheng's words, Concubine Xia jumped up as if being pricked by a needle, and looked at Fang Zheng with fear.
"what are you saying!?"
"It's useless to play dumb now."
Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and clicked on the letter on the table.
"According to the balcony, the Beatrice she saw is dead, and it is impossible for a dead person to send this letter, so who sent this letter in the name of Beatrice I think, you should know it in your heart, in fact, I have been observing you, only you, after hearing the story told by Lou Zuo, your complexion gradually changed, obviously, you still know something inside."
"Really? Concubine Xia?!"
At this time, Zangjiu also looked at his wife in surprise, Zhu Zhixiang also looked at his mother in surprise, feeling the eyes of the father and daughter, Concubine Xia's expression became paler.
"I don't know, I don't know anything!!"
"Concubine Xia!"
At this time, Zangjiu could also see that something was wrong with his wife, so he immediately sullenly asked.
"What are you hiding from us?!"
"me……………"
"The other party sent this letter and I don't know what it means. If something happens to any of us, would you be willing to take responsibility, Ms. Concubine Xia? For example, Zhu Zhixiang?"
"..."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Concubine Xia's complexion turned ashen. She looked at her daughter, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.
"Okay, let me say, actually... I killed someone! That's all right!"
"what?"
"kill?"
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked, and Zhu Zhixiang was even more surprised.
"Mom...killed someone? Are you joking? Did you blame yourself for some accident like Aunt Lou Zuo? If that's the case..."
"No, that's not the case..."
While speaking, Concubine Xia lowered her head.
"That was nineteen years ago. At that time, I had never given birth to a child, and then my father found me and asked me to raise a baby..."
"baby?"
"Yes... At that time, I couldn't accept it no matter what, so I just pushed the baby and the servant who was holding him off the cliff..."
"........."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent, while Fang Zheng stared at Concubine Xia.
"Then what? Have you confirmed their deaths? Same as Lou Zuo?"
"How could I do such a thing? At that time, I was just confused!"
At this time, Concubine Xia hurriedly defended herself.
"At that time, I was so mad! My father was disappointed in me, and even asked me to raise a child who didn't know where he came from. How could I accept it?! So, so at that time I... I... ..."
Speaking of this, Concubine Youdai Gong Xia also covered her face and burst into tears. Looking at Concubine Xia who was crying bitterly, everyone didn't know what to say for a while, but at this time, Fang Zheng's voice sounded again.
"That's interesting."
"interesting?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Fangzheng suspiciously.
"What's the meaning?"
"It's very simple."
Facing everyone's gaze, Fangzheng smiled slightly.
"Look, according to Louza, she met Beatrice 20 years ago, and Beatrice died in an accident. Now we all think that Beatrice should be Ushiromiya Kin Mr. Zang and the first-generation Beatrice gave birth to a child. Then Ms. Natsumi told us that Mr. Ushiromiya Kinzo brought a baby to her for adoption 19 years ago... It's not just Regarding the issue of adoptive sons, if I remember correctly, as members of the Youdai Palace family, they have the right to inherit the next generation of patriarchs."
"correct!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately reacted.
"Dad can't just bring a baby here and let him adopt it. Others are fine. The eldest brother's family has the right to inherit the family. Wait, that is to say..."
Liufufu's expression also changed at this moment.
"Hey, this is a big joke!"
"Is it really a joke?"
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes, half smiling.
"You see, twenty years ago, Beatrice died, and a year later, Mr. Jinzang brought a baby and hoped that Ms. Xia Fei would adopt it. What kind of baby needs to be adopted? Of course it is the one who lost its mother. child, and where did his mother go?"
"No, so you mean..."
Eva also reacted at this time.
"Wait, this... this is impossible!!"
At this moment, almost everyone present understood Fang Zheng's meaning. The child that Jinzang asked Concubine Xia to adopt nineteen years ago obviously had the blood of the Youdai palace family. It is even possible that Jinzang wanted that child to inherit Youdai The Gong family, that's why they hope that Concubine Xia can accept and raise this child.
So whose child is it?
Considering that Beatrice died twenty years ago, Kinzo brought this child a year later, and that Beatrice who died unexpectedly was the child of Kinzo and the original Beatrice... ...
there is only one truth.
"Kinzo and his lover—that is, the first-generation Beatrice gave birth to a daughter, that is, the second-generation Beatrice that Roza met, and Jinzo obviously had a relationship with his daughter. It is not surprising that there is a certain close relationship... It's not surprising that Lou Zuo also said that the Beatrice she met looked exactly the same as in the oil painting. Considering that the oil painting was obviously longer than her own, then only One explanation is that the daughter looks exactly like the mother, and because of this, Jin Zang transferred his feelings for his first love to his daughter, and there is a child between them."
Fangzheng said while smiling.
"However, after that, Beatrice met the balcony, left the mansion, and died unexpectedly. Of course, a child who lost its mother could not survive alone, let alone that child was still a baby at that time, so Jin Zang He hoped to hand it over to Concubine Xia and let her raise it on her behalf. Maybe he also planned to let the child inherit the Udai Palace family to atone for his sins. But Concubine Xia was unwilling to accept this child and pushed him into the cliff—of course, generally speaking It must be dead, but......"
Fangzheng picked up the letter again.
"Now it seems that the other party really survived a catastrophe."
"........."
After hearing these words, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Hey, just kidding, this..."
"but……………"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to say. Although they couldn't believe their father did such a ridiculous thing emotionally, their reason told them that this was probably the truth!
And at this time, Fangzheng also stood up.
"So what is it called Beatrice, this should be called Ushiromiya Eri... Rosa, let's go."
"Hey? Where are you going?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Lou Zuo was also taken aback.
"That mansion."
Fangzheng pointed to the letter again.
"Didn't the above say that as long as you find gold, you can inherit the Ushiromiya family?"
"Have you unlocked the inscription?"
"Of course not, I have never been interested in decryption games."
Fangzheng shook his head.
"This is just a very simple association. You see, the legend of the Ushiromiya family has always said that the witch gave the gold to Mr. Kinzo? So it is very simple, the gold is in the hands of Beatrice, and Beatrice Where does Liche live? Now we have an answer, don't we?"
"........."
correct!
At this time, other people also reacted. Indeed, the gold legend of the Ushiromiya family has a long history, but they have never seen gold, so it means that gold must not be in this villa, otherwise they grew up here , it is impossible to not even see the shadow of gold.
And now, from the balcony, they learned that there is a mansion in the forest of the island, and Beatrice lives in it. Then the answer is simple and clear?
