Zhou Renhe said, "After doing all that, I quietly fled. I knew well that justice would eventually catch up with me, and I wouldn't be able to escape the law's sanction. I went to Yingzi's grave and told her that I had avenged her, took the prepared poison, ready to join her."
His cloudy eyes were misted with tears. After a while, he continued, "But I didn't die. When I woke up, I found out it was my master who saved me. He told me to preserve Huichun Hall at all costs, to keep the Xu Family's inherited books, and to assist Changshan, so that one day Huichun Hall could be revived. At that time, I didn't expect him to go turn himself in for me, admitting that the deaths in the Huang Family were his doing. On the day he confessed, he took the hidden poison in prison."
Xu Chunliang gasped, the Xu Family's past was far more shocking than he had known before.
Xu Chunliang asked, "If that's the case, why didn't you later tell my grandfather the truth?"
