Chapter 44: The End
The morning meal was as generous as ever. A plate of fried crispy corn omelettes, a plate of green onion rolls, a large basket of beef buns, a plate of colorful fried rice noodles, a bowl of whitebait and green vegetable egg drop soup, a small plate of crispy radish, a small plate of almond tofu and a bowl of yam and radish porridge.
A family of four sat around, and there was no need for anyone to serve the cloth vegetables on the side, and they could take whatever they wanted to eat, Liu Heng would occasionally clip one or two chopsticks to An Ruyi, and the family chatted while eating, and they ate very freely.
This kind of dining habit has almost become the norm in the Liu family. An Ruyi likes this atmosphere very much, she has always felt that eating should be in a happy mood to be more comfortable, and pay attention to so many rules to do.
Of course, the dining etiquette that should be learned should also be learned, and it is still used when there are outsiders or when dining out. As for when only your family is there, then forget it, eating comfortably is the most important thing.
"I'm going over there today, so I won't be back for lunch, so you don't have to wait for me." Scooped a bowl of whitebait, green vegetables, and egg drop soup and drank it, and then took a bite of the beef buns with large filling, thin skin, and fragrant mouthful. Liu Heng nodded with satisfaction.
"Why did you advance it, didn't you say that it would be a few days before you went?" An Ruyi was surprised: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's a message from my grandfather." Liu Heng nodded, even though he was actually reluctant to admit that person was his grandfather, but now that he was eating, he really didn't want to talk more about the grievances and grievances of those fathers in front of his young daughter.
So the words were a little vague, "I took Huai Ran to finish the matter today, and I don't know if I can rush back for dinner." If I don't come back, I'll have someone bring me back. ”
"Okay."
An Ruyi listened to Liu Heng simply abuse Liu Heng in private in a way that transmitted the sound into the secret, and her two sons only did what they didn't know. By the way, he also roughly talked about some dark things about the Liu family and the eldest brother of the Liu family, that is, Liu Jinxian, the patriarch of the Liu family.
Over the years, Liu Heng has made many preparations for the arrival of this day, and he has long ordered Liu Huairan to gather the forces of Mumao Villa and start collecting the handles of those people and some clan elders who have already taken refuge over there and helped to abuse them.
It was enough to let them go unbroken for so many years, and this time he wanted to let them try the taste of those who had climbed too high over the years, falling from the clouds, falling into the deep valley and never being able to climb out again.
Wait until the matter is completely over. Grandmothers, fathers, and mothers can truly rest in peace under the Nine Springs.
For a while, I recalled the past. Thinking of everything when I was a child, everything was like a dream. Liu Heng looked up at An Ruyi and found that she was also looking at herself with gentle and worried eyes, and couldn't help but smile.
Reached over and took her hand and patted it: "Don't worry, it's okay, wait for me to come back." ”
"Hmm." An Ruyi looked at him and thought about it, "No matter what decision you make, Huai Ran and Yue'er and I will support you." ”
"Yes, Daddy, Yue'er will also support you." Although Liu Yue, who was drinking porridge with her head down, hadn't fully understood what her parents were suddenly talking about, when she heard her mother say that she would support her father, she hurriedly raised her head and echoed, and didn't forget to pull her brother to join in the fun, "And my brother." Right? ”
"We're all going to support Daddy's decision. Eat it quickly, the porridge is cold. Liu Huairan glanced at her sister, reached out and gently rubbed her head, nodded in agreement.
"That's right. Alas, my brother is so annoying, don't touch my head......"
Liu Yue frowned and tried to avoid it in annoyance. My brother is good at everything, but it's so annoying to love to touch her head. Doesn't he know that it's very troublesome for girls to comb their hair, and he has to sit there quietly for a long time, yes, he always likes to touch, alas, I don't know if it's messed up.
Liu Yue tilted her head and carefully touched her head with her hand.
"Don't worry, it's no mess." Liu Huairan calmly continued to drink his porridge, "If you touch it again, it's hard to say." ”
Hearing this, Liu Yue hurriedly put down his hand, glared at him coquettishly, pouted, stopped drinking the porridge, reached out and picked up a green onion roll and took a vicious bite.
An Ruyi and Liu Heng glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled.
The council chamber of the Yanagi Mansion
"Since today's matter is related to my father-in-law's grandmother, it is better to invite my grandfather and his old man to come with us, and we would better discuss it again."
When Liu Heng took Liu Huairan in, he looked around the hall, and saw the current patriarch of the Liu clan, Liu Hua and Liu Yao, as well as most of the elders of the Liu clan who were relatively old in generation and age. Those who should have come have come.
"Brother Heng hasn't come back for many years, I don't know, the old patriarch has been sick for many years, and he can't even turn over by himself on weekdays, and he can't speak sharply, so he can only recuperate with peace of mind. The affairs of the clan have long been ignored. ”
The one who spoke was a clan elder who had a good personal relationship with the old patriarch, and he called Liu Qiye. He is still relatively fair, and he has always felt that Liu Fuguan was not authentic enough to treat his original son-in-law back then, and he persuaded him privately, but unfortunately the situation at that time was too complicated, and he couldn't change anything if he persuaded him. Later, Liu Heng's family was wrongfully expelled from the clan, and he also helped to speak, and strongly opposed it. It's a pity that the strength is too weak and the strength is not enough. But this alone is enough for Liu Heng to show him respect.
According to the genealogy of the Liu family, Liu Qiye and Liu Fuguan are brothers of the same generation.
"Seventh Master." Liu Heng saluted Liu Qiye, smiled faintly and didn't explain much, he swept over everyone at a glance, and looked at everyone's expressions.
"I've already sent someone to invite you, and it's estimated that it's coming soon, so you won't delay or anything if you want to wait a little longer."
"Liu Heng, you are too presumptuous, even if you are the grandfather of the country, you can't be filial to the elders. How can you casually let people disturb your father's recovery? My father has been sick for many years, and everyone knows that he has to recuperate and not be disturbed...... Ah......h
Liu Hua had suffered a loss in front of Liu Heng a few days earlier, and his heart was not smooth, since he took over as the patriarch, where did he receive such a wretch, and his opinion on Liu Heng is as big as a fight. When I saw it today, it turned out that Liu Heng was in a posture that didn't take him seriously at all, and he suddenly became angry and slapped the table and shouted.
But before he could finish speaking, there was a scream that shocked everyone.
Everyone looked over together, only to see Liu Hua screaming, covering his mouth with one hand, and when he put it down, there were two teeth on the open palm.
"You...... You, you ......"
He trembled and pointed at Liu Heng.
"What is Patriarch Liu pointing at me?" Liu Heng found a place to sit down by himself, while Liu Huairan stood quietly behind him and watched quietly, without saying a word. Before going out, my father explained that he came to see it today, so he didn't have to say anything.
"Patriarch Liu is also an old man, how can his temperament be so big, he has to bite out a few teeth if he is good." Liu Heng sneered, "The head of the clan should be even more cautious when he speaks, as for who is filial and who is not, this is really not something you are qualified to say." ”
"You are so arrogant, I am not only the patriarch but also your uncle, your elder, you dare, you dare to knock out my teeth...... You are the prince of the country, and the law of the country cannot tolerate you. ”
Liu Huaqi's whole body trembled.
"Patriarch Liu is saying that I knocked out Patriarch Liu's teeth?" Liu Heng stood up and looked at him in surprise, looking at everyone with a smile, "Who saw it?" ”
He didn't believe anyone could see it, hehe.
Everyone looked at each other, everyone here has a certain level of martial arts skills, if Liu Heng really does it, someone must be able to see it. But at that time, no one really found out that it was his black hand.
But the patriarch's teeth can't fall out of their own inexplicably, right? Only Liu Heng was the most suspicious of those present. If it was really Liu Heng who did it, then there is only one explanation, that is, his martial arts are actually so high that they are mysterious, right?
For a while, everyone looked at Liu Heng with an inexplicable surprise and awe in their eyes.
Can you do it on the spot and don't let people see the abnormality, such a means?
Everyone shuddered in their hearts.
Seeing that Liu Hua had fallen into the upper hand, there were many people in the clan who usually stammered with him and wanted to jump out and say a few words for him, just like usual.
As a result, the people who wanted to open their mouths, when they looked up and saw Liu Heng's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, one by one they wilted like frosted eggplants, and silently closed their mouths again.
For a moment there was a strange silence in the chamber.
Only this silence did not last long, and was soon broken by the noise coming from outside.
