The temperature is getting lower day by day, and you can still see the fog when you wake up in the morning. The weather was also gloomy for a long time, but the late autumn rain never fell, and it was uncomfortable.

When Qiao Shihan and Shao Yuxiang gently knocked on the door, everyone in the room subconsciously looked at this side, except for Shao's mother.

They all gathered around Shao's father's bedside, blocking the originally spacious bedroom. Everyone's eyes were red and puffy.

Obviously, everyone cried.

Why? You don't have to think about it to know why.

"Young Master......" The servant who often took care of their family spoke, but the general shouted, and the tears couldn't stop falling, "Come in and see the master." ”

Shao Yuxiang stayed in place, not moving a step, as if he hadn't heard the servant's words. Qiao Shihan saw the pain in her eyes, her hand was tightly held by Shao Yuxiang, Shao Yuxiang had a lot of strength, she even felt the pain, but she didn't say a word, just patted his arm comfortingly.

Escape is not a solution, life and death must be faced after all. The results will not change because of their momentary avoidance.

Shao Yuxiang moved his lips, but he didn't speak. Only his slightly trembling hands revealed his emotions at this time.

He was a man of flesh and blood, not a god. The closest relatives who have been with him for so many years are suddenly leaving, and Shao Yuxiang can't accept it for a while.

There was a rumble outside the window, and thunder exploded on the clouds, accompanied by the billowing aftersound, which shook people's hearts.

Finally, it's going to rain.

Qiao Shihan looked out the window, and the clouds were almost pressing on the top of people's heads, forcing people to breathe.

The autumn wind mixed with the chill blew in from the window, and Qiao Shihan shivered with cold. She wore a lot of clothes today, but the wind seemed to blow into people's bones, and the coolness seeped into people.

She was suddenly a little dazed, not knowing what to do, not knowing what to say, just standing in the cold wind that seeped her bones. Let time pass little by little, and as things develop little by little according to their own trajectory.

"You two come over here and talk to your dad." Shao Mu's words were fluttering, as if they were about to be blown away by the wind, but it was a heavy blow to Shao Yuxiang and Qiao Shihan's ears.

Shao Yuxiang's heart jumped, and he immediately pulled Qiao Shihan to kneel beside Shao's father's bed.

Father Shao was already very weak, his closed eyes seemed to be difficult to open again, and the breath that went in was not as much as the breath that came out.

They all understood that the old man couldn't rest assured that his son and daughter-in-law were hanging in one breath. Now that I have explained the matter, I am estimated to be gone.

"Dad." Shao Yuxiang held Shao's father's withered hand that was as old as tree bark, and called him softly, with an imperceptible tremor at the end.

Qiao Shihan knelt beside Shao Yuxiang, her self-control was obviously not as good as Shao Yuxiang's, her tears had already fallen all over the bed, soaking the sheets, but she bit her lower lip and didn't cry.

She was sad and painful Shao Yuxiang's pain. But there is nothing I can do, I can only accept it slowly. Qiao Shihan still had the jade bracelet given to her by Shao's father on her wrist, and the originally cold jade became warm at this time, as if she wanted to give her a little comfort.

Shao's father slowly opened his eyes, as if it had taken a lot of effort, his lips moved a few times, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

In fact, how much strength did he have to speak? It's just that my wish is not fulfilled and I don't want to leave.

"Dad, don't go." Shao Yuxiang held Shao's father's hand tightly and pressed it against his forehead, his voice was dyed with crying, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

What answered Shao Yuxiang was a sigh that overflowed from Shao's father's throat.

I don't know if I said yes or didn't.

Shao's father's fingers moved slightly, and Shao Yuxiang immediately let go of his hand after sensing it. He couldn't speak, so he wasted his strength to fold Shao Yuxiang's hand and Qiao Shihan's hand together, and then patted it gently.

The meaning is self-evident.

"I know, I know." Qiao Shihan was out of breath crying, and the words she said were intermittent, she almost pleaded, "I understand what you mean." But I want to please, please, stay with Yu Xiang and Aunt for a while...... Don't go ......"

Shao Yuxiang also shouted "Dad" in a hoarse voice.

Shao's father didn't answer, but slowly closed his eyes. He now knew that he was just a strong crossbow, and that when he was dying, there were people around him who were willing to accompany him, and that was enough.

He has been successful all his life, his career has been successful, and his business has become bigger and bigger, and he has developed the Shao family into this, and he has long been successful. But no matter how powerful he was before, he would eventually turn into a handful of ashes.

Shao's father, who had been domineering all his life, suddenly shed tears in front of so many people. I don't know if it's a regret or a wish.

Tears slid down Shao's father's old face into the gray sideburns, and there was no trace of them again.

The hand that was on the back of the overlapping hands of the two of them suddenly slipped onto the edge of the bed, bringing a muffled sound.

Shao Yuxiang tightly grabbed the futon covering Shao's father, buried his face in it, and couldn't suppress his crying anymore.

It's like the roar of some kind of beast, and it's like venting.

It's over.

The mournful cries were endless, and pain and nostalgia filled this small bedroom.

Outside the window, there was another explosion, and then the raindrops the size of beans crackled down.

And this long-brewing autumn rain has finally fallen.

Shao's mother has been taking care of Shao's father since he was diagnosed with illness, and she has been working hard every day for such a long time, and she passed out once before Shao's father was transferred back to Shao's house from the hospital. At this time, the pillow person who had been with her for a long time died suddenly, and she felt that she was also tired.

But the operation procedures of the aftermath are lengthy, and she has to come forward. So no matter how sad and tired she is, she has to force herself to finish everything.

She has always been a strong person, but she has been spoiled by Shao's father over the years, so she rarely takes care of things, let alone interferes in their "career". But now that it's time for her to come forward, Shao's mother will definitely not avoid it.

The mourning hall was set up in front of the Shao family's villa, just to mourn the deceased, and there was no fanfare. But there was an endless stream of people who came to mourn.

The news was not intentionally promoted, but somehow, it seemed that everyone knew about it. The people who usually nod their heads came to pay their respects, and they also appeased their families quite intentionally. There are even people who have never seen Shao's father at all who come to worship, the purpose is not pure, of course, they are not here to worship sincerely, but to inquire about the news, and to be familiar, if there is business in the future, they can also say personal love words.

Shao Yuxiang and Shao's mother knew the correspondence very well, but the deceased was the greatest, and they didn't say anything.

"Would you like to eat a little more?" After everyone left, Qiao Shihan looked at Shao's mother who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, and felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but persuade her.

In the past few days, Shao Yuxiang and Shao Mu have not eaten much, and they even drink little water. Although Qiao Shihan herself was not in the mood to eat and drink, she still couldn't help but persuade them.

Shao Yuxiang would also take two mouthfuls on Qiao Shihan's face, but Shao's mother couldn't listen to it at all.

"Okay." Shao Mu reluctantly pulled out a smile, "You're tired for a day, let's go rest first." Bubble bath to relieve fatigue. ”

Although Shao's mother agreed diligently, she had no intention of moving chopsticks at all, Qiao Shihan knew in her heart that many times the servants would propose to Qiao Shihan to let her try to persuade Shao's mother, she couldn't go on like this, but this was not something that could be adjusted in a while.

Qiao Shihan still couldn't rest assured of Shao's mother, so she sat next to her, held Shao's mother's hand and squeezed it gently, "Don't be sad...... To put it mildly, people can't be resurrected after death, even if you do this again, it makes sense, but your body is damaged. Uncle will not feel good when he looks at it, so you must cheer up and take care of yourself. ”

In fact, Shao Yuxiang has not been in a good state these days, and he is just holding on in front of people. But life has to go on, time is still moving forward little by little, and it won't wait for anyone. Qiao Shihan pursed her lips and said.

Her words were straightforward, but everything was to the point, and Shao Mu nodded after being silent for a while. Qiao Shihan did not leave, but sat quietly on the sofa to accompany Shao's mother.

In the middle of the night, Shao's mother got up and drank two mouthfuls of porridge, the temperature was just right, she had almost not eaten for a whole day, and it was good to eat something that was easy to digest now.

Qiao Shihan was a little relieved, her eyes were still slightly swollen, and she knelt in front of the mourning hall today and cried for I don't know how long. I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, Qiao Shihan has always carried that jade bracelet on his hand. Those who came to pay tribute today must have seen it.

In fact, even people who don't know this bracelet know her identity when they see Qiao Shihan wearing a filial piety dress. This is the first time Shao Yuxiang has shown her identity in front of the public after marrying Qiao Shihan. Shao's father went, Shao Yuxiang officially accepted the family's property, and now he is the head of the Shao family, and those who follow have to treat Shao Yuxiang with a different attitude.

Shao's mother's eyes only lingered slightly on Qiao Shihan's bracelet before moving away, "Shihan, you are now the mistress of the Shao family, and there are still many responsibilities that you need to bear in the future, maybe you will come into contact with many very different things, some even beyond your imagination." ”

Speaking of this, Shao Mu paused, and then spoke again: "I'm old, and I haven't interfered in those things for a long time. I will not interfere with you in the future, you and Yu Xiang still have a long way to go, and you are still very young. Although Yu Xiang is sometimes very domineering and has his own ideas about everything, he will definitely be very, very good to you. ”

This is the first time Shao's mother has said this to Qiao Shihan, just like a conversation between ordinary mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but Qiao Shihan feels very warm. She believes that the future will be better.
