Chu Lingran and Mu Ruoying stayed for a long time, they didn't speak to each other, Mu Ruoying still leaned on Chu Lingran's chest, listening to Chu Lingran's calm heartbeat, Mu Ruoying didn't know how to reply to Chu Lingran, Chu Lingran didn't rush to ask for Mu Ruoying's response, he knew that it was difficult to open Mu Ruoying's heart compared to winning the world.

"Ying'er, I should go, today is your canonization ceremony, the guards sent by the emperor should be able to find you soon, you can say that you escaped death, to complete the next step of your plan, I think, in your plan... I shouldn't be at the last step. ”

How could Chu Lingran not know that Mu Ruoying's plan today was to lure the steward of Mu Mansion to take the bait, if it weren't for Mu Ruoying's disguised invitation, he would have been an outsider, and it was not appropriate to show the emperor his close relationship with Mu Mansion at this time, he analyzed everything very rationally, but Mu Ruoying would always be his exception. Sometimes, he even felt that this girl was one step closer to the world than he was, and she could even use his feelings for her to achieve her own goals.

"I'm sorry, I know, you can see that I'm taking advantage of you."

Mu Ruoying never wanted to owe anyone a favor, she had been used to doing her own things by herself since she was a child, and she didn't rely on anyone, but if this matter was done by Chu Lingran, it would be more convenient, and no one would think that what a powerful general said was false. That sentence of evidence from Chu Lingran's mouth could save Mu Ruoying a lot of trouble, but today Chu Lingran should have made something wrong and didn't come in time, Chu Lingran had already saved his life, and he couldn't afford to repay that kindness, and he wouldn't trouble him again.

"Ying'er, don't worry, even if it is inconvenient for me to come forward in this matter, I will help you achieve your wish. The reputation of the Dark Sea Tide Pavilion in the rivers and lakes is not small, you go to report to the emperor in three days on today's day, at that time, the Dark Sea Tide Pavilion should be gone, I will send someone to get their leader's head, and the silver deed of three thousand taels. ”

Mu Ruoying didn't have time to react to the meaning of Chu Lingran's words, would Chu Lingran be willing to help him again? Even if he knows that he can't give him his heart, he still uses him again and again? And the second-ranked cabinet on the rivers and lakes was wiped out by Chu Lingran's words? Sure enough, in addition to the military power, Chu Lingran also held other things in his hands, and he was also in charge of the rivers and lakes.

"Thank you, if there is a battle in my dynasty in the future, Chu Lingran and I have different positions, but if you win, I believe you will give the people of our country a prosperous world."

The moment Chu Lingran left, the emperor's guards rescued Mu Ruoying who only sprained his foot at the bottom of the valley, he fell from such a high altitude, just on his muscles, Mu Ruoying's gratitude to Chu Lingran was deepened, Chu Lingran was protecting himself with his life. Except for the uncomfortable drooping of his left arm when he left, Mu Ruoying thought that he was injured elsewhere, so it seemed that Chu Lingran just didn't want to be discovered by himself.

The ceremony was as usual, Mu Ruoying didn't want to bother to pick another good day and auspicious day, but just let the people in the palace reorganize themselves, and the people saw the injury on Mu Ruoying's foot, and they were all talking about what happened when Mu Ruoying came, why the ceremony started an hour late, and Mu Ruoying looked so haggard.

At this time, in the Mu Mansion, in He Xiyou's main courtyard, he first heard the killer say that Chu Lingran and Mu Ruoying both fell off the cliff, and then heard that Mu Ruoying only injured her foot and attended the ceremony as usual. Mu Jingfei and Mu Jianran knelt in front of He Xiyou's bed, looking at their mother slumping on the bed, their former arrogance and demeanor were completely gone, and all that was left was the woman's countdown to life.

"Mother, you have to cheer up, you have to save Jingfei."

"Mother, you go and beg your father, or grandfather, for the sake of the three generations of old ministers in He Mansion, the emperor will not sell Mu Ruoying's face. Dye'er's career can't be cut off in the hands of Mu Ruoying, a slut. ”

"Idiot, do you know why the second Miss Mu Fu, who has been obedient and like a sheep since she was a child, has a peerless appearance, unparalleled talent, and ruthless scheming, but she keeps calling her mother-killing enemy a mother? She has lived so hard since she was a child, so that she can be so smart and win a thousand miles, but what about you? thinks that he is a high-ranking family, and he doesn't learn and has no skills, but now Mu Ruoying wants more than just my life, even if he wants your life, the emperor will sell him this face. The emperor didn't sell the face of my He Mansion, and at most he hurt the hearts of a few old ministers, but if he didn't sell Mu Ruoying's face, what he would have lost was the economic context of a He dynasty, which was more important? Your father? What kind of man was your father? Can he save me, can he save you? ”

He Xiyou lay on the bed emptyly, looking at Fang Liang and remembering her appearance when she first married into Mu Mansion, the clear girl was looking forward to her husband, she thought that her husband would definitely protect her for a lifetime, but Mu Jinghong was lucky to bring her personal maid on the second day of her wedding, that is the intimate person she has been serving by her side since she was a child, she hates Mu Jinghong, she also hates that maid, and she hates herself for believing in a man's love. She began to become ruthless, began to become a bloodthirsty demon, her hands were stained with blood for decades, she did not want to remember her former self, but now, she completely remembered the beautiful appearance of her youth. What did she do......

"Help me get out of bed."

He Xiyou was helped out of bed by Mu Jingfei and Mu Jianran, she put on the court clothes when Mu Jinghong was named the right minister, and she was also canonized by the new emperor Enze when she was Mrs. He Guo, she was going to see her father and husband for the last time, and she was going to save the lives of her children. The last thing she wanted to see was Mu Ruoying......

The lord of the He family, He Changrong was called to the Mu Mansion by the steward of the Mu Mansion, the old man is more than seventy years old, and his body is quite tough, just like his temper, honest and stubborn. He Xiyou sat on the main seat of the main hall, wearing a court robe that represented his own symbol, his face was pale, He Changrong was a little shocked when he saw his daughter fighting like this, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing what he was talking about.

"He Changrong."

He Xiyou called out his father's name without emotion, this is a big taboo, those who violate the rules of the etiquette ancestral system will be expelled from the family tree, He Xiyou's move is to do his own behavior, He Fu is not even affected, she understands that Mu Ruoying wants not only her own life, but also her children, the life of the entire He Mansion.

"Bold, who allowed you to call your father so."

The old man is a little blindsided, how did his daughter, who has always been obedient, faint today to call his father's full name? In addition to being angry, it should be more of a disbelief and sluggishness.

"My words today are not from the mouth of He Xiyou, the founding father, the daughter of He Changrong, the young secretary of Dali Temple, but from the mouth of Mrs. He Guo of Sanpin, I, He Xiyou, have severed the father-daughter relationship with you He Fu from now on, and I will not have the slightest connection with you He Changrong in the future, whether I am born, old, sick or dead, wealth and glory will have no connection with you He Changrong."

He Changrong never thought that his daughter, who grew up in the palm of his hand, would say such a decisive word to him today, and he was speechless for a while when he treated his daughter who was sitting high in the main hall.

"Yu'er... But what happened? ”

"Come and send off, from now on, I will not welcome people from He Mansion to visit."

He Xiyou turned around and left, stopped in the back room, and cried silently, in this way, she preserved the evening festival between He Fu and her father, even if she became a lonely ghost and her soul returned to another country, it didn't matter, as long as her father lived longer, it would be good. The man she was going to face now might have prepared a letter of resignation and was waiting for her to beg him.

He Xiyou calmed down for a while, and walked to Mu Jinghong's main courtyard, Mu Jinghong sat on a round table, there was paper and ink on the round table, He Xiyou looked at it from a distance, Mu Jinghong's hand was a trembling pen to write, but as soon as he wrote two words, he tore off the paper. He Xiyou leaned on the door of the house, shedding the most aggrieved tears in her life, if she had known that Mu Jinghong had her own square in her heart, how could she ever want to be a ruthless woman?

"Jinghong, write it. You can hesitate for me for a moment, I know enough. ”

Only He Xiyou held Mu Jinghong's trembling hands, only to realize that she and Mu Jinghong were already old, and they had spent most of their lives, but they locked their lives for some ignorant things, and at the end of their lives, they realized that they were so stupid.

"Xiyou, if the ancestral hall of my Mu Mansion still can't accommodate you, where should you go?"

Mu Jinghong's voice trembled, he knew that for Mu Jingfei and Mu Jianran, He Xiyou had to take the letter of resignation and knock on the dragon door drum, Mu Jinghong only realized now that he had an attachment to his wife, he was very sorry for He Xiyou, for the sake of the He family's status in the court, he promised He Xiyou a couple for the rest of his life, but he didn't do it, and even now even He Xiyou's bones can't be preserved.

"Don't we have a pair of children? Jinghong, I did something wrong, but I don't regret it, at least, at the last moment, you have me in your heart, and that's enough. One day, if you can really become the person on the dragon chair, do you have to plan for Dye'er? If you fail, I will wait for you underground, what you love in this life is power, and your promise in the next life should also allow me to be a couple for the rest of my life. ”

He Xiyou snatched the pen and paper in Mu Jinghong's hand, and wrote a farewell and two widths, and everyone was happy, and from then on, she He Xiyou no longer belonged to Mu Jinghong, she finally belonged to herself.

He Xiyou finally came to Mu Ruoying's side courtyard, waiting for Mu Ruoying's return, the moment He Xiyou stepped into the door, he saw the ashes that Mu Ruoying had asked Ling'er to prepare early in the morning, which was Mu Ruoying's clothes that He Xiyou asked Mu Ruoying to burn, Mu Ruoying's only thought of her mother in this world, He Xiyou found out that Mu Ruoying should have hated herself when she was eight years old. Her jealousy ruined Mu Ruoying's life, did Mu Ruoying just take her down every step of the way? He Xiyou thinks that Mu Ruoying doesn't just want her He Xiyou to fight with her life.

"Mother, since you're here, why don't you come in for a cup of tea?"

Mu Ruoying finished the affairs of the court, and rushed back to the mansion, Ling'er was waiting for her anxiously at the door, Mu Ruoying didn't plan to listen to Chu Lingran's delay first, she cared about whether He Xiyou's actions were as normal as she expected, but she calculated He Xiyou's strategy for eight years, she never made a mistake, she didn't calculate that He Xiyou was a good mother, a good wife and a good daughter.

"Yes, I should have come and sat down, you have lived here for sixteen years, you have called me mother for eight years, but I have never come to visit you properly."

He Xiyou is dressed in Washington, beautifully dressed, not like a woman who has been over 50 years, she has been loved and praised by others since she was a child, and has raised a body of recklessness and arrogance, this is the daughter of He Fu, and the daughter of He Fu should be as good as her.

"What is my mother looking for me today?"

Mu Ruoying's heart was in a mess at the moment, her hatred for He Xiyou was not less, but she was moved by He Xiyou's behavior, whether it was a lonely ghost or a wandering soul, did she want to save He Fu and Mu Jian's life Mu Jingfei? In her plan, she originally brought He Fu and her children to her mother's funeral, but at this moment, she made her hesitate, did she really want to let a person die without even the ancestral hall, children, and husband?

"I'm here to beg you, and I'm here to apologize."

He Xiyou has left behind all her dignity and self, she hopes that the person she loves will no longer be harmed by Mu Ruoying's design because of her own mistakes, her children are not smart, no one will have Mu Ruoying's calculations, Mu Ruoying's current position of power is no longer shakeable, and if He Fu's life is more than a hundred or ten mouths, it is just a court book.

"My mother, how has she not begged you? Hasn't she begged you not to let her daughter lose her mother at the age of eight? What did she do wrong? Mu Jinghong is strong, she is just a servant, she is innocent, she wanted to seek death, but she has the hope of living with me, have you ever experienced humiliation? Have you ever understood the pain of osteopathy? ”

Mu Ruoying's voice sank, she was never a kind person, she hesitated and just remembered her mother, but the hatred in her heart, she had lived for eight years, she saw her mother lose her breath in her ears, what about her pair of children? At that time, I was still growing up in my arms.

"Your father and I are going to retire, and you have no reason to take Fei'er and Ran'er's lives."

He Xiyou knew that Mu Ruoying's heart would never be softened because of her, so even if she died in a mass grave and no one was buried, she had to fight for Fei'er and Ran'er.

"Rest assured, when you die, your sons and daughters will soon be with you. Do you think you will protect them for the rest of your life? How stupid they are, your calculations are as wrong as today, after you die, if the wandering soul is still there, you can come to see me Mu Ruoying climb to the top, and watch your children fall to the foot of the mountain by me and suffer humiliation for eternity. ”

Mu Ruoying closed her eyes and didn't want anyone to feel her tears, no matter how deep her love for her mother was, she had succeeded, but her mother was still gone, the hatred in her heart was about to dissipate, but what was left of her? For the rest of her life, how will she survive this night after night of pain?

When Mu Ruoying opened her eyes, He Xiyou had already left, and this should be the last time she and He Xiyou would meet.
