Chapter 37
After sending Murong Yunhong's body back, Feng Yuerong helped Murong Xue out of the room.
Murong Xue came to her father's body and knelt on the ground all of a sudden, in the past few days, her heart seemed to have experienced hellish torment, and now, she has reached the verge of collapse.
The father's body was in front of him, but he couldn't cry anymore, the tears had already dried up, and when his father was beheaded, his heart also followed his father.
Mourning is great and the heart is dead, and when the heart is dead, man becomes a walking corpse.
After kneeling down in front of his father's body for a long time, Chu Feng and Feng Yuerong sent Murong Xue back to the room together.
After that, Chu Feng discussed with the housekeeper and others to prepare for the burial.
Because of the Holy Order, Murong Yunhong committed many major crimes, and he could only be buried according to the preparation of the criminals, and he was not allowed to do anything big, let alone build a cemetery.
Therefore, the burial matters are also very simple, even more simple than ordinary people's homes, except for the people of the Murong family, outsiders are not allowed to go to worship, so the people in the city have the heart to go to mourn, but they dare not disobey the holy order.
The next day, when the sky was bright, the people in Murong Mansion carried the coffin and went to a relatively remote place outside the city for burial.
Murong Xue and Chu Feng were dressed in white silk, and the rest of the people were all outsiders, and they could only wear ordinary clothes, the two of them walked in front, and the people behind them carried the coffin, walking along the remote streets in the city, towards the outside of the city.
The people on the street greeted them one after another, but they could only be sent to the gate of the city, and a generation of virtuous ministers fell on this occasion, which was a huge loss to the people and the country.
When they arrived outside the city, everyone carefully buried the coffin, and then added soil, and after making it, a stone tablet was erected.
Murong Xue and Chu Feng knelt in front of the grave, they didn't get up together, Murong Xue had no expression, the whole person was a walking corpse without intention, except for the tears that fell seriously and occasionally, there was no other action.
In this way, it was not until noon that Murong Xue finally got up.
"Let's go back. ”
A simple sentence, without the slightest emotion, after finishing speaking, he should leave first.
Everyone didn't understand what Murong Xue was thinking, but it was inconvenient to ask more, so they hurriedly followed.
Back at Murong Mansion, Murong Xue began to pack up the things at home, except for some personal belongings, all other things in the house were confiscated.
After Murong Xue finished all the things in her family, she took out some silver and distributed it to the people in the house.
"Everyone take the money, let everyone go their separate ways, and never come here again. ”
"Miss, we're not leaving, we're going to follow you......"
"Miss, don't drive us away, although the master is gone, but there is still Miss you. ”
“......”
Everyone was reluctant to leave, although they knew that life would be difficult in the future, but Lord Murong was kind to him, how could he leave like this now?
"Don't talk about it!"
Murong Xue suddenly scolded sharply: "Let me go, don't come back, go!"
Murong Xue's sudden change surprised everyone, this was the first time to see Murong Xue like this, which made people a little scared.
Everyone in the house did not dare to disobey the order, so they could only take the silver and leave reluctantly. The housekeeper was also driven away by Murong Xue along with everyone, and soon there were only three Murong Xue left in Nuoda.
Feng Yuerong comforted: "Sister Xue, you can live with me in the future, let's go back to the Holy Academy." ”
Murong Xue nodded and did not speak.
Murong Xue didn't have many things, Feng Yuerong found a carriage, pulled Murong Xue's things, and the three of them went back to the Holy Academy together.
Murong Yunhong's matter was already known to the whole country, so when Murong Xue returned to the Holy Academy, everyone in the Holy Academy also changed their attitude towards Murong Xue.
Back in the dormitory, Chu Feng helped pack Murong Xue's things, and in the future, Murong Xue will live here, and he will protect her well.
In the evening, Feng Yuerong pulled Murong Xue and Chu Feng to eat outside. In the past few days, Murong Xue has not thought about tea and dinner, she is extremely haggard, her body is already very weak, and if she continues like this, she is afraid that she will really fall.
Murong Xue also agreed, and then briefly freshened up, changed into clean clothes, and went out to eat with the two.
When she arrived at the restaurant, Feng Yuerong asked for a private room and didn't let anyone disturb her.
After sitting down, Murong Xue was still silent, Feng Yuerong sat beside Murong Xue, constantly comforting, and after the meal came up, she personally served some food and put it in front of Murong Xuedi.
"Sister Xue, you haven't eaten for a few days, hurry up and eat a little. ”
Murong Xue waited for a while, then picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate silently.
Murong Xue finally started to eat, and Chu Feng and Feng Yuerong also looked at each other and smiled, relieved.
Chu Feng put all the delicious food on the table in front of Murong Xue, and the two of them accompanied Murong Xue to eat together.
After the meal, Murong Xue didn't say anything, but Feng Yuerong kept talking, and Chu Feng echoed on the side, only hoping that Murong Xue could quickly come out of her grief.
The meal was almost finished, and Murong Xue also put down the dishes and chopsticks.
Feng Yuerong said with a smile: "Sister Xue, in the future, we will always live together, if you need anything, just tell me, if you want to live with Chu Feng, then I will help you rent a house outside." ”
"No need, Sister Rong'er, I'll just live in the dormitory. ”
Feng Yuerong responded: "Okay, Sister Xue will live with me first, and after you get married, I will help you find a house." ”
Murong Xue's face was expressionless, and then asked Xiao Er to bring a pen and paper and write on it.
After writing it, Murong Xue handed the paper to Chu Feng.
"Brother Feng, write your name. ”
Chu Feng was a little puzzled, and when he saw the content on the paper, he was suddenly shocked, and then looked at Murong Xue with a puzzled expression.
"Brother Feng, I have made up my mind, so you can agree. ”
Looking at the two of them like this, Feng Yuerong was also puzzled, and then looked at the piece of paper in Chu Feng's hand.
At the far right end of the paper, the words "Retirement Book" instantly come into view.
"Sister Xue, what are you doing here, why are you writing a letter of resignation?"
Murong Xue said calmly: "No, I just don't want to get married." ”
When Murong Xue said this, Feng Yuerong was even more full of doubts, and even Chu Feng was at a loss, not understanding why Murong Xue did this.
"Don't ask again, I've already thought about this matter, I've made up my mind, and I won't change, Brother Feng, you can sign it." ”
Chu Feng looked at the letter of resignation in his hand, his hands trembling a little.
"Xue'er, did I do something wrong and make you angry, you tell me, I will definitely change, and I have promised my father-in-law that I will protect you well in the future, and you will ......"
"Don't say it, I've been thinking about this matter for a long time, it's useless for you to say more, I'll handle my affairs myself, and you don't have to take care of me in the future, even if my father knows about it, he won't blame you. ”
The matter is a bit serious, looking at the current situation, Murong Xue has to let Chu Feng sign, and Feng Yuerong is already a little anxious.
"Sister Xue, listen to me, you must not be rash, I know Chu Feng's personality, if you get married in the future, Chu Feng will definitely listen to you, although Chu Feng has no power and no money now, but it is definitely Sister Xue, you are worth entrusting for life. ”
Murong Xue chuckled: "Entrust for life? Is Chu Feng worthy of my entrustment for life, since the competition to recruit relatives, there have been disasters in my Murong family one after another, my eldest brother doesn't know where the person is now, my father was framed again, and died unjustly, what did Chu Feng do, now I am homeless and alone, is this the person I deserve to be entrusted for life?"
Murong Xue said all about Chu Feng's various wrongs and incompetence, Chu Feng listened to these words, he was ashamed and couldn't justify, Murong Xue was right, he really didn't do anything, his future father-in-law was on death row, and he had nothing to do, so he could only watch the Murong family die.
Chu Feng hated himself, hated himself for being incompetent, hated himself for not being able to do anything!
Feng Yuerong defended Chu Feng and said: "Sister Xue, you can't blame Chu Feng for these things, he is weak and weak, he is not Xia Meng's opponent at all, and you can't blame Chu Feng for everything." ”
Murong Xue said coldly: "At the beginning, there was no way to recruit relatives through martial arts, but the person I like is a hero who stands up to the sky, not a person who does nothing." I only have gratitude to Chu Feng, and I don't have a child's affection, even if we are together in the future, we won't have a good time, rather than this, it's better to break it off now. ”
Murong Xue's words were categorical and could not be refuted in the slightest, and now even Feng Yuerong didn't know what to say.
The three of them pondered for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.
After a long time, Chu Feng still picked it up, ready to write his name.
"Chu Feng. ”
Feng Yuerong wanted to stop it, Chu Feng looked at Feng Yuerong and smiled bitterly: "Xue'er is right, a person like me is nothing, how can I be worthy of marrying Xue'er as a wife, I know what weight I have, Xue'er shouldn't marry someone like me, and I never dare to expect anything from myself."
After finishing speaking, Chu Feng sighed silently in his heart, wrote his name on the paper, and then handed it to Murong Xue.
Murong Xue took the letter of resignation, read it again, then folded it and put it in her arms.
"It's not too early, it's time to go back. ”
Murong Xue's words were a little cold, compared to before, it seemed like a completely different person.
Murong Xue got up to leave, and Feng Yuerong and Chu Feng also hurriedly left.
Walking on the street, people came and went on the street, and it was still very lively, Feng Yuerong and Murong Xue walked together, still persuading in a low voice.
Chu Feng walked behind alone, his head lowered, his heart was very uncomfortable, the situation just now, now that he thinks about it, he is still full of shame, in front of Murong Xuedi, he is nothing, and when Murong Xue needs him the most, he can't do anything.
Since that competition, Murong Xue agreed to marry her, and at that time, she also felt that she could really ascend to the sky in one step, and now that she thinks about it, it is really ridiculous. What is his identity, what is his family, the toad wants to eat swan meat, it is really whimsical.
On the crowded street, Chu Feng felt very lonely, feeling like he had been abandoned by this world, and he didn't know where his future path was. I am like a grain of sand in the world, drifting with the wind, nowhere to live, and I have also fantasized that one day, I will fly to the top of Mount Tai and be proud of the world, but this must be an unattainable dream, so far away that I dare not fantasize.
