Several people were stunned, and after a moment, Jiang Yilan withdrew her arm from Jiang Hao's hand, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "I'll go first." ”

She spoke with a distinctly crying tone in her voice.

Before she could take a few steps, Jiang Hao opened his mouth and cried: "Do you plan to continue to escape?"

Jiang Yilan's footsteps stopped, and she didn't squeak or look back.

"Grandpa is gone, because of the mistake you made! You have abandoned us once, and now you want to abandon us! What did my brother and I do wrong? Why do we have to face it alone again and again!!"

Jiang Hao was very excited, Zhang Yuze walked to her side, took her in his arms, and comforted her.

Jiang Yilan stood silently in place and sobbed, her thin shoulders trembling uncontrollably, but she still didn't say anything.

After a while, Jiang Hao and Zhang Yuze separated, wiped his tears, and looked at his mother again: "Mom, if you still have us and this family in your heart, don't leave again." ”

Jiang Yilan closed her eyes, sighed heavily and turned around, looking at Jiang Hao through the light moonlight, she hadn't seen her for many years, the twelve-year-old girl was already half a head taller than herself, and her plain clothes still couldn't stop her delicate temperament.

She suddenly realized that she had missed out on their siblings for more than 20 years.

The woman took a few steps forward, slowly raised her hand, held one side of Jiang Hao's face, rubbed her thumb lightly a few times, and hurriedly withdrew her hand.

She lowered her head, with deep remorse, and said, "I'm sorry. ”

At this moment, Jiang Hao suddenly felt a joy of regain, even if her mother did something wrong, she still wanted to forgive her.

Nothing is more important than being a family.

In the ancestral hall, several people sat together quietly, and no one wanted to speak.

Ren Zhen would glance at the door a few times from time to time, it was getting late, and she was worried about Lu Cong and them.

Just thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, Ren Zhen quickly got up and went out, and just stood at the door, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

The strange woman walked beside Jiang Hao, and the eyes of both of them were red.

Ren Zhen swallowed his throat and recognized the person in front of him at a glance.

She turned to look at Lu Cong and then at Zhang Yuze.

Lu Cong quickened his pace and walked in front of her, glancing behind him with his spare eyes: "Jianghe's..."

"I can see it. ”

Lu Cong nodded: "What about the river?"

Ren Zhen bit his lower lip and looked back with some embarrassment: "It's inside." ”

It just so happened that Jiang Hao and they came over.

Ren Zhen bowed down and called people.

Jiang Yilan smiled forcefully, she was exactly the same as Jiang He, the same warmth and brightness, even though she was old, she still had charm.

Ren Zhen: "The river is inside, you guys go in quickly." ”

After speaking, she and Lu Cong got out of the way.

Ren Zhen was about to go in with him, but Lu Cong grabbed her.

She turned back.

Lu Cong: "Let their mother and son face it by themselves, and we won't make trouble." ”

Ren Zhen was a little worried, but he still chose to stand outside the door with Lu Cong and wait.

After Jiang Yilan entered the house, the first person to see her was Zhao Ruoxi.

Zhao Ruoxi stood up, glanced back and forth between her and Jiang He a few times, and was stunned for a moment.

"Ah, Auntie. ”

Mao Cai and Mizumiao also stood up and called for someone.

Jiang He's eyes lit up, he turned his head a little slowly, and the moment he met Jiang Yilan's gaze, the man instantly stood up from the chair.

……

Jiang Yilan's eyes were a little evasive.

Jiang He's black eyes were not only surprised, but more angry.

"River, river. ”

She couldn't help but open her mouth first.

Jiang He's eyes were empty, and his eyes were cold and clear without any emotion: "Who are you?"

He seemed to do it on purpose, and he confirmed it as if he couldn't believe it.

"Me. Jiang Yilan frowned, her eyes full of tears: "I'm my mother." ”

"I don't have a mother. Jiang He said resolutely without thinking.

"Rivers. ”

Jiang Hao didn't want him to be like this.

"Let her go. ”

Jiang He tried his best to endure it, turned his back, and was unwilling to face it.

Jiang Hao comforted Jiang Yilan, walked to Jiang He's side, and grabbed his arm: "Sister knows that you feel uncomfortable, but have you forgotten how your grandfather explained to you?

"I said I don't have a mother!" The man's voice suddenly became much louder, and he shook off Jiang Hao and pointed at Jiang Yilan: "You let her go!!"

Ren Zhen, who was standing at the door, was startled and hid in Lu Cong's arms and cried.

Jiang Yilan has made all preparations, no matter how her son attacks her, she will not leave again, and the sins she has created must be solved by herself.

"Son. She walked in front of Jiang He, leaned her neck and grabbed Jiang He's clothes tightly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my mother's fault, it's all my mother's fault, I don't ask you to forgive you, but please don't drive me away." ”

Jiang Yilan cried heartbreakingly, but Jiang He still had that cold attitude.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the strange woman in front of him, and his heart was cold.

"Driving you away?" Jiang He laughed: "When you left this home desperately and left, why didn't you expect to have today?"

He grabbed Jiang Yilan's wrist back, and his hands were cold and piercing, separating her from himself fiercely.

The man gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Please get out, get out!!!"

"Jianghe!!"

Jiang was so angry that he hated him for saying so much in front of his grandfather, and raised his hand in an instant, but he was stopped by his own reason in time.

Jiang He stared at her raised palm and laughed: "It's her, it's all because of her grandfather who is gone, but you blame me in turn?" He nodded resignedly, pointing to his face: "Okay, you fight, you fight!!"

Zhang Yuze stood aside and looked at Mao Cai, suggesting that he went out with Shui Miao, and then looked at Zhao Ruoxi.

Just when Zhao Ruoxi turned around and was about to leave, he was pulled back by Jiang He: "It's her who should go, not you." ”

The man lowered his voice, not wanting to be angry at Zhao Ruoxi.

This time, Jiang He pinched her wrist with great force, and Zhao Ruoxi's hand soon began to swell.

But she didn't dare to move, standing in place, silently watching the river.

"Please, leave!!Don't let me do it!" Jiang He closed his eyes, tears sliding down the tail of his eyes.

Jiang Hao couldn't do anything, she knew best how much pain and resentment Jiang He hid in her heart, so she had to look at Zhang Yuze and let him solve it.

Zhang Yuze walked over, first called out to Mom, and then pulled her behind him, sank his breath, and frowned: "Jianghe, Grandpa usually loves you the most, but now you are doing this in front of Grandpa, do you think it is appropriate? No matter how resentful and hateful you are, you can't ignore Grandpa, right? Do you know what he thinks? Have you forgotten the last words that Grandpa said before he died? He has forgiven his mother, let's stop stumbling." Brother understands you, we don't ask you to forgive Mom, but don't drive her away, okay?"

……

Jiang He swallowed his throat, his eyes fell on the portrait of his grandfather, the old man smiled, but Jiang He saw a trace of pain in his grandfather's eyes.

In the past 20 years, his grandfather has always loved him and never had any prejudice against him because he was an illegitimate child.

Grandpa not only helped him smooth his wounds, but more importantly, he wanted to help Jiang Yilan repay her debts, and wanted to repay what she owed to him for her.

Jiang He irritably put one hand into his hair and rubbed it, took a deep breath to calm down, and said lightly: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

After speaking, he turned around to leave, and when he passed Jiang Yilan, he stopped, stared at her sideways, and said calmly: "In my life, it is impossible to forgive you." ”

Then he picked up Zhao Ruoxi and went out.

Jiang Yilan let out a long breath, as long as her son didn't let her go, she would always have a chance to explain all this.

After that, she knelt in front of Jiang Fuguo's ashes and cried heartbreakingly, venting her debts and unfilial piety to her father in the past 20 years.

She knows that it is late, but she will not go again, she will take care of a pair of children, and she will take on the responsibility of being a mother.

She chose to carry everything for them.

Jiang He pulled Zhao Ruoxi all the way in one direction, and Zhao Ruoxi couldn't count how many halls and corridors he had followed him, and then he was taken to an open field, in front of which was a large man-made lake, the lake had not been taken care of for a long time, and it had already fallen full of stumps and leaves.

Without waiting for Zhao Ruoxi to react, Jiang He suddenly turned around and hugged her, buried his whole face in her neck socket and finally cried, like a wronged child.

The man had no cover in front of her, let go of all so-called dignity, and gave her all his weakness.

Zhao Ruoxi didn't care about any other experience at this time, he just wanted to empathize with him at this moment.

She didn't say a word, quietly hugged him, stroked his hair, and told him, don't be afraid, I'm here.

At night, Ren Zhen couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he got up and put on a coat and ran to sit in the corridor outside the door.

She finally came back, back to this familiar and unfamiliar ancient town.

Returned to this big mansion full of memories.

I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky.

She tasted what she wanted, reunited with them, and fell in love with Lu Cong, but she still couldn't escape the nightmare of life and death.

However, all this happened not naturally, not accidentally, it was a long-premeditated and careful plan, and it was the result of their deliberate efforts for their own interests.

Jinhe's night was still so cold, but people were unexpectedly awake.

"Ren Zhen. ”

Lu Cong couldn't sleep either, and wanted to come out to breathe, but saw her shrinking there alone, with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.

Ren Zhen looked back, got up and stood in place, looking at Lu Cong's nose that couldn't help but sour.

Lu Cong hurriedly came over and hugged her: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The man tried his best to give her a sense of security.

"Lu Cong. She sobbed and raised her head, her gaze unusually determined: "This time I don't want to compromise anymore, I don't want to be a good person anymore." ”

Lu Cong didn't understand what she meant, "Huh?"

She sniffed, held back her tears, and said very calmly, "If you do something bad, you should be punished." ”

Lu Cong's frowning eyebrows instantly softened, and he leaned over slightly to hold her neck, and said with great certainty: "Certainly, they must be allowed to suffer the consequences." ”
