In the middle of the night, Saitama was awakened by a nightmare, shouted "Kiritoro" and sat up, panting for breath. Li Yi was also woken up by Saitama, he hurriedly sat up and touched his wife's forehead, which was covered with cold sweat, and even the clothes on his body were a little damp.

"Have a nightmare?" Li Yi asked softly, Saitama nodded, leaning weakly into Li Yi's arms. Li Yi pulled up the quilt and wrapped Saitama and the quilt in his arms, and reached out to take the handkerchief next to the bed and wiped the sweat on Saitama's forehead. Saitama quietly leaned on Li Yi's warm arms, only to feel a little relieved, and the tense nerves slowly relaxed.

"Yu'er, are you asleep?" Li Yi said suddenly.

"No, as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw Brother Tong. ”

"Excuse me?"

"Why do you say you're sorry?"

"I didn't know that my mother would do this to you and let you suffer so much grievance, and blame me. Li Yi said, his tone full of guilt.

"Don't do that. Saitama covered Li Yi's mouth with her hand.

"What does this have to do with you, it's also my own uselessness, and I haven't been able to satisfy my mother. Saitama said softly.

"You don't have to be so wronged by yourself, I know very well what kind of personality my mother is like. My mother has always been well protected, simple-minded, but a little paranoid. Although because of the concubine matter, I know that she is a little prejudiced against you, but I didn't expect my mother's obsession to be so deep, in order to force me to take a concubine, she did not hesitate to take your sister. Speaking of which, I didn't do what I promised you back then, I'm so sorry for you, and I'm even more sorry for Brother Tong. Li Yi's voice was a little choked. Saitama reached out and touched Li Yi's face,

"Don't blame yourself, I'm afraid these things are providential, even if there is no such thing this time, Qi Jiao will not let me go, and I will definitely find another opportunity to harm Brother Tong, I'm afraid our fate with Brother Tong is not enough." ”

"Yu'er, don't worry, I won't let our children sacrifice in vain. Li Yi's voice suddenly became cold.

"What are you going to do. Don't be presumptuous, she's in favor now......" Saitama said nervously. Li Yi grabbed Saitama's hand and put it on his chest, covering her hand with his hand,

"Don't worry. I would never do anything I wasn't sure about. ”

"That's good, you know I'm just you now. Saitama muttered, her hand on Li Yi's chest, feeling his powerful heartbeat, as if giving herself infinite strength. Li Yi listened to Saitama's words. With infinite tenderness in his heart, he tightened his arms around Saitama, and the two of them fell asleep in a daze with each other.

The next day, people came to the door one after another to offer condolences. Although Brother Tong is just a child, Li Yi is a serious prince of the Duke of Qi, and he is valued by the emperor during this time, so many people who usually can't talk to him have also taken the opportunity to come to the door. No matter how unwilling Li Yi is, he always has to go out to socialize. Because of Saitama's miscarriage, Li Yi has been hiding it. He instructed a few maids to take care of Saitama and not to leave his courtyard, saying to the public that he was too grief-stricken and unwell, and that no one who came to visit was gone.

The people in Zhang's Mansion knew about the affairs of the Guogong Mansion, and their reactions were different. The old lady and the Liu family naturally felt sorry for what happened to Saitama, but the Wang family felt that there was always a bad breath, and Zhang Hou was worried that he hoped that Saitama would get pregnant again as soon as possible, so as not to let the name of this son be lost.

When the old lady learned the news, she was anxious to go to the Kokugong Mansion to see Saitama, but the Liu and Wang clans tried to persuade her and did not listen. No, the two of them and their two granddaughters-in-law accompanied the old lady to the Guogong Mansion. When Saiyu saw the old lady, she naturally hugged her head and cried, and Zhang Xiao's daughter-in-law Yang and Saiyu were also old acquaintances in the boudoir. Naturally, it is also a consolation. Wang also comforted a few words of pain, Saitama saw that she was furious, all this should actually come from the person in front of her, but reason told her. I can only endure now, and I have to wait for the opportunity to take revenge.

The old lady asked about the cause of Brother Tong'er, and Saitama found something to prevaricate, she couldn't say that she was infected after entering the palace. Seeing the old lady with gorgeous hair and worrying about herself, Saitama felt a sour feeling in her heart. Holding the old lady's hand, he couldn't speak. At this time, others can't help much, they can only comfort. The old lady can only tell Saitama to take good care of her body, and the child will always have it.

After Brother Tong'er was buried, Li Yi excused himself with unbearable grief and was unwell to ask the emperor for leave. He didn't have a specific position, but he was entrusted by the emperor to do some things as a messenger. Because the emperor admired Li Yi very much, when he made this request, the emperor was quite considerate of him and approved it.

Li Yi spent most of his time in the mansion with Saitama. On this day, Li Yi took a book to read to his wife, and some people said that Shi wanted to see Li Yi and Saitama, saying that they had something to discuss.

During this time, Li Yi used Saitama to recuperate and avoid the embarrassment of the two meeting, so he explained to Shi that he would not let Saitama come over to ask for peace. So when it comes to the funeral, the two have met once, and Saitama has not met her mother-in-law. At this time, I heard Shi's call, and I didn't know what was going on, so Saitama still cleaned up and went to Shi's courtyard with Li Yi.

Shi Shi saw that Saitama was still a little unbearable on his face, but Saitama stepped forward to bless Shi and called "Mother", Shi looked at Saitama's thin face, and was even more sad and tears pounced.

"Mother is sorry for you!"

"Mother, don't be like this, forget about the past, let's just take care of it in the future. Li Yi said. Shi wiped his tears with a handkerchief and said:

"I really can't get over this matter in my heart, I have been reciting Buddha all my life, but I have killed a person. ”

"Mother!" Li Yi immediately stopped when he heard his mother's words.

"Yes, no one expected this mother, so how can I blame you entirely?" Saitama explained.

"Yi'er, Yu'er, I called you here today just to tell you something. Shi paused, took a deep breath and said:

"I'm going to live in the Suilu-an. ”

"Mother wants to change the environment, I don't know how much time I will have to live?" Li Yi asked.

"I intend to stay there forever. Shi's words slowly surprised Li Yi and Saitama.

"Why mother?" asked Li Yi anxiously.

"I'm sorry Brother Tong'er, if it weren't for my obsession, he wouldn't be like this. I don't know if I can pay back my sins in this life, and living in the nunnery and reciting the mantra to him every day can be regarded as making my own heart feel better. ”

"Mother, you can also pray for Brother Tong'er in the Buddhist hall at home, why do you want to go to that kind of place. Saitama persuaded.

"Yu'er," Shi smiled at Saiyu,

"You are a generous child, I used to have a good life, but I have to find you unhappy, it's really ...... I think it's wrong. I didn't take the kind words you advised me and your kindness to me to heart, but I remember the words of outsiders to sow discord clearly, I am really confused. ”

"Mother, don't say that, others can't prevent it if they have a heart. ”

"I'm still confused, I'll leave Yi'er to you, you have to take care of him, you have to take care of your own body, and add a child to Yi'er, you husband and wife can live well, and I won't have anything to worry about." ”

"Mother, are you willing to give up your son?" Li Yi burst into tears.

"It's not that I can't see me, it's not far away, you can go to see me when you have time. ”

"Mother!" Saitama still wanted to persuade, but was interrupted by Shi,

"Don't say it, even if you're thinking about me. I've made such a big mistake, and it would be shameless if I could still live here like no one. Those who dwell in the nunnery are quiet and quiet, so that they will not be provoked by others to cause trouble for you. ”

Li Yi and Saiyu persuaded for a long time, but Shi still insisted on living in the nunnery, and said that he had obtained the consent of Qi Guogong and Lian. Li Yi knows that her mother has a gentle temperament, but she also has a very stubborn side, since she has decided this time, I am afraid that she and Saitama will not be able to change it, just like she refused to go to Shandong back then. So I thought that after my mother had lived there for a year and a half and calmed down, I would go and bring my mother back.

Li Yi and Saitama returned to their courtyard at night, and their mood was very low. Li Yi thought that his mother, who was dependent on him, would always accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, and his life would be so bleak in his later years. I vowed to protect the people around me, but I couldn't protect any of them, and I felt a sense of powerlessness. Saitama looked at Li Yi's appearance, and he felt bad, but he didn't know what words to use to comfort him, and what kind of language was pale and powerless at this time.

"Don't be sad, we'll bring my mother back later. Saitama took Li Yi's hand and said.

"Well, I used to want to protect the people I cared about, but in the end, no one could protect them. ”

"You've done a great job, and I don't know if I could have survived without you. Li Yi shook his head when he heard this,

"Well done, it wouldn't be what it is. ”

"Actually, I've figured it out a little bit now. ”

"What?"

"I'm also at fault in this matter, if I hadn't been enthusiastic about the rights of the family, how could I be at the mercy of others, and I wouldn't even have a person to report the news. I'm only now realizing that rights can sometimes be a kind of umbrella, and we may all be at odds. If it weren't for the right, how could Qi Jiao kill our Brother Tong. And even if we have another child, she will still find a way to get rid of her, but we don't even have the strength to resist. Saitama said slowly.

"What do you mean......"

"You get the idea. Saitama stared at Li Yi's eyes, from confusion to clarity, she knew that Li Yi had understood what she meant.

"You're right! Blind defense is useless, offense is the best defense. (To be continued.) )
