In the middle of the night, the snow in the courtyard was already about three inches deep.

There were servants and maids outside to sweep away the snow, and there were filial sons and filial women kneeling in front of the mourning hall, and only a few great-grandchildren who were really young were taken down to rest.

Everyone else's eyes were fixed on the curtain behind the mourning hall.

A gust of wind blew, and only a few figures could be seen faintly behind the curtain.

At the beginning, there was a heart-rending cry, which was even more tragic than their grandfather's descendants, and the hearts of those who listened to it trembled, and they couldn't help but cry.

This kind of sadness seems to be very close to the grandfather before his death.

But isn't it ten years since they have seen each other? How can this clan brother, whom they have never seen before, have such deep feelings for the old lady?

But at this time, no one dared to ask more, only heard a whisper, the cry gradually weakened, I don't know what the old man was talking to the man and his wife.

The old man, who had died suddenly, was dressed in new clothes, had been buried, and slept peacefully in the coffin that had not yet been sealed, his face was thin and wrinkled, but he was peaceful and comfortable.

Xiao Shaotang ignored the difference between life and death, tightly held the old man's hand, which had completely lost his temperature, and knelt beside the coffin without leaving half a step.

Bai Chenghuan also changed into sackcloth and filial piety clothes with Xiao Shaotang, and silently accompanied him.

With tears in his eyes, Master He persuaded all the words that should be persuaded.

“…… Since he is here, the master must be happy, but at this time, be careful, and when the master is buried, you should go back quickly...... lest the master worry about ......"

"Father's ......"

Xiao Shaotang choked up and called out these two words.

Master He was shocked, but he first looked at the woman who had been calm as water: "Don't ...... anymore Your Highness, remember!"

In the past, they were father and son, but now, they can't be anymore!

Bai Chenghuan looked at his nose and nose, as if he hadn't heard anything, which made Master He feel a little relieved, whether he knew or not, whether he knew or not, it was rare for Bai Chenghuan to be so calm.

"Uncle...... Tonight, I'll stay by my grandfather's side. Xiao Shaotang changed his mouth in the end, and his bloodshot eyes had dried up crying.

Master He looked at his expression, Xiao Suo was terrifyingly lonely, and he understood that he probably couldn't persuade him.

He still has a lot to do, and he can't be with him here.

He patted Xiao Shaotang on the shoulder, comforted his former son, and then got up and left.

When he walked out, he glanced back at Bai Chenghuan again, she had been by Xiao Shaotang's side to fulfill her wife's duty.

It's really like a dream, the one who was compared to the old lady, he would think that it was the crazy girl of the Bai family who humiliated the He family, and she actually became the only person who could accompany Shao Tang at this time.

When Master He walked out, he found that outside the curtain, Mrs. He was standing there, looking at the fluttering white curtain, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Rong Yue, you go back and rest first......" Master He interrupted her contemplation with a little caution.

Mrs. He reacted, and was about to turn around and walk away without saying a word.

Behind him came a low call:

"Mother's ......"

Mrs. He's heart was suddenly stabbed by this "mother", she turned around and saw Xiao Shaotang standing respectfully in front of her.

It's been seventeen years, and this existence like a thorn in the eye has disgusted her for seventeen years!

She longed for him to die, but when he appeared in front of this mourning hall, she actually recognized him at a glance!

At that moment, what appeared in front of her eyes was actually the toddler, but always staggered after her to call her mother, the boy who was respectful and filial, but every time she was treated coldly, her eyes were dim in admiration!

In the end, it has been dangling in front of me for seventeen years!

She smiled coldly, gritted her teeth and whispered:

"You came back at this time to make us think that you also have a conscience, right? I said ugly things in front, if you dare to make the slightest mistake and make some trouble, even if it affects my Cong Lan and Cong Zhu, I will not let you go! After the worship, leave quickly, and don't cause trouble to the He family!"

As for this "mother", she should not have done it before, and she will not do it now!

Xiao Shaotang didn't feel angry and sad about being treated coldly by his mother before, he only felt guilty.

Because of him, my father and mother have had knots in their hearts all their lives.

Mrs. He brushed her sleeves away, and Master He smiled a little embarrassedly:

"She's not ......"

"I know my mother is worried about me. ”

Although Xiao Shaotang was so coldly reprimanded by Mrs. He, he had a warmth in his heart that he had never received from his mother.

In the past, she was angry, and she had never spoken to him like this, she was worried about the He family, and why wasn't she worried about him?

When Xiao Shaotang returned to Mrs. He's side, he saw Bai Chenghuan staring at the old lady's hand.

"What are you looking at?"

He knelt beside her and followed her line of sight.

Bai Chenghuan hurriedly looked away: "It's nothing!"

But Xiao Shaotang had already seen that something was unusual - the master's fingers were bent, and his skin turned black and brown, which had become like this after many years of illness, but the master's nails were tinged with a faint cyan!

This is obviously not right!

Xiao Shaotang's eyes seemed to be a thunderbolt, looking at the strange pale cyan fixedly, his thoughts that had been shocked by sadness and collapsed gradually sank from the moment he heard the bad news, and Huo Ran got up:

"I remember that a doctor once said that the grandfather has at least three or five years to live, but now he suddenly died of illness, is there a problem with the grandfather's death?"

The most Bai Chenghuan did before his death was to accompany Xiao Shaoyun to read books, although the pharmacology was not fully understood, and he knew that such an abnormality was obviously problematic, but at this time, he ......

She grabbed Xiao Shaotang's trembling hand and said in a deep voice:

"At this time, there are many people, don't mess around, go and ask your uncle first!"

Xiao Shaotang endured it, tried his best to calm the expression on his face, and then strode out, and Bai Chenghuan followed.

Master He was personally cleaning up Mrs. He's relics, hearing Xiao Shaotang say this, he ran to Mrs. He's coffin, held his father's hand and looked at it carefully, ran back, rummaged through his father's relics for a while, found a small porcelain bottle, opened the cork and poured something out, but nothing poured out!

Master He suddenly broke down and cried bitterly:

"Father, father, what are you doing!"

"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Shaotang faintly guessed, but he still couldn't believe it!

"This is, this is what the master prepared for himself after I brought you back back then, so many years have passed...... I never thought of it!"

Master He couldn't cry, his father said, "As long as I die, it's over", but he didn't understand at all!

"Master, he decided it himself, and he didn't want to implicate the family!"

Xiao Shaotang's heart was bright in an instant, but he fell into the bottomless abyss in an instant, allowing the endless darkness to swallow him up in an instant.

He felt that all the light of his life was gone at this moment.
