Since Yuan Shao passed away, Cao Shuo has never been to Yuan Fang.

He has already returned to the navy, and it won't be long before he will also head to Kaisai, from where he will board a ship and head to Izumo.

The remnants of the sun reflected the sky red, standing in the courtyard, Cao Shuo looked up at the sky.

"Childe." Deng Zhan came behind him: "It's almost dinner time." ”

"I won't eat here." Cao Shuo said to Deng Zhan: "You accompany me to the eldest lady." ”

led Deng Zhan to the door of Yuan Fang's residence, the two maids hurriedly bowed, and another maid in the courtyard ran to report to Yuan Fang.

did not come out as before, Yuan Fang's room was quiet.

Walking to the door, Cao Shuo asked the personal maid who greeted him, "How is Madame?" ”

"I haven't eaten in days." The personal maid said: "Madame just sits there in a daze all day long, which makes people feel distressed when they see it." ”

"Let everyone stand down, and I'll talk to Madame." Cao Shuo commanded to his personal maid.

The personal maid answered, beckoning the other maids to leave.

Walking into the room alone, Cao Shuo saw Yuan Fang sitting there in a trance.

She didn't seem to notice that someone was walking in, and she looked like she was stupid.

Sitting next to her, Cao Shuo gently hugged her shoulders.

Yuan Fang obediently put his face on his shoulder, and two lines of tears fell down his cheeks unconsciously.

"Father-in-law is gone." Cao Shuo said softly: "It's impossible for you to save him like this, you still have to eat ...... food."

"Husband, why?" Yuan Fang asked faintly, "Why can't you accommodate my father?" He's already an old man in his last years, how can he still ......"

"Not me." Cao Shuo said: "You and I have been husband and wife for many years, and they know me very well. I will never shirk what I have done, I will not do it, and I will not bear the blame for others. ”

Looking at Cao Shuo with teary eyes, Yuan Fang asked, "Who can it be if it's not a husband?" ”

"I've sent someone to check." Cao Shuo said: "So far there is no information, my father-in-law took poison in front of me, although I did not kill him, but I am not to blame." ”

"Can you find out?" Snuggling into Cao Shuo's arms again, Yuan Fang asked faintly.

"I don't know." Cao Shuo said: "Maybe you can, or maybe you can't. All I can do is do my best, but have you ever wondered what you can do even if you find out? ”

"Damn the man who sent poison to his father." Yuan Fang's body trembled slightly and said, "I want him to pay for his life!" ”

Cao Shuo felt helpless for a while.

It was Cao Cao who sent poison to Yuan Shao.

Looking at the world, who can make Cao Cao pay for his life?

Although he knew who did it, Cao Shuo couldn't say that his only hope was that Yuan Fang could slowly forget about it after a few days.

Although it is impossible to forget it all, as time goes by, Yuan Fang's thoughts of revenge will gradually fade, as long as no one mentions it, she will not easily recall.

"I can only wait for me to come back." Stroking Yuan Fang's shoulder, Cao Shuo said, "In a few days, I will go to Haixi, and then take a warship to Izumo." ”

"Husband wants to hit the clouds?" Yuan Fang looked at him in surprise: "I heard that Izumo is ...... in the distant open sea"

"It's not that far, actually." Cao Shuo said: "Fu Zhu has already sent a warship to investigate, and it is only a little more than ten days from the sea. ”

"After more than ten days at sea, can the husband stand it......" With tears on her face, Yuan Fang said worriedly: "I don't think the husband should go to ......"

"I want to go and sit in person." "I want to see how long it will take for the navy to fully conquer Izumo," Cao said. ”

"My father is no longer here, and my husband is going to sea again this time." Yuan Fang said: "I know that I can't persuade you, so I can only ask my husband to cherish it." ”

"Let me cherish it, why don't you know how to cherish it yourself?" Cao Shuo said: "I haven't eaten for a few days in a row, see how thin you have become?" ”

"I can't eat ......," Yuan Fang said, "I always see my father's voice and smile in front of my eyes......"

"When a loved one dies, it's always like that." Cao Shuo said: "We are used to their existence, and suddenly one day they are gone, and it is inevitable that we will feel lost in our hearts. Everyone dies once, but sooner or later. One day it will be us who will leave, and our children will grieve for us as you do. Since we can't escape fate, why can't we cherish ourselves while we are alive, so that we and the people around us can live more comfortably and comfortably? ”

Yuan Fang nodded and did not speak.

Cao Shuo shouted outside the door: "Someone! ”

The maids had already retreated, and only Yuan Fang's personal maid was still waiting at the door, lest the two of them have orders.

Hearing Cao Shuo's shout, the personal maid pushed the door in, bowed and asked, "What do you have to say?" ”

"Bring some food to Madame." Cao Shuo instructed: "Don't be too greasy and don't be too dry, it's best to have soup porridge or something like that." Madame hadn't eaten for days, and her stomach couldn't take anything too greasy and dry. ”

The personal maid retreated, and Cao Shuo said to Yuan Fang again: "Should I eat or eat, I will urge my father-in-law to investigate, and the truth will come out sooner or later." Sorrow is sorrow, and you can't break your body. ”

"Don't worry, husband, I will take good care of myself." Yuan Fang replied softly.

"I'm here to watch you eat." Cao Shuo said: "I'll leave after you eat." ”

"There are too many things that need to be done by my husband, so I'll eat some by myself later." Yuan Fang said: "Husband, let's go and get busy with important things." ”

"Nothing is as important as Madame." Cao Shuo said: "I can't take care of my own wife, what else can I talk about conquering the world?" ”

Lowering her head, Yuan Fang said softly: "I didn't expect me to cause so much trouble to my husband." ”

"In fact, sometimes I will think back to where Yuan Fang was when I saw him in Yecheng." Hugging Yuan Fang, Cao Shuo said: "Although you are not very reasonable, you are still very nostalgic. After marrying me, many things were imposed on you, and you should not have borne it, but you are my wife. From the day the Cao and Yuan families went to war, you are destined to bear a lot of burdens like me. ”

Snuggled in Cao Shuo's arms, Yuan Fang said softly: "I only ask my husband for one thing, to help me find the person who gave poison to my father......"

"I'll find out." Cao Shuo said: "You also have to try your best to forget these things as soon as possible, if you are always like this, even if you go on an expedition to the sea, I will still remember you in my heart." ”

Yuan Fang replied softly.

At this time, the voice of the personal maid from outside the door: "Childe, the soup prepared for the lady has been delivered." ”

"Bring it in, I'll watch Madame eat." Cao Shuo commanded.
