Chu Zhiyong finally turned pale at this time, and understood that he was certain to die this time.

But seeing that Almond seemed to have a good relationship with the emperor, he thought about it again.

"Your Majesty! The grass people know their guilt, and the grass people are also unscrupulous just now! Where did you get the saying that the almonds were born by the grass people! Please also ask Your Majesty to spare the lives of the grass people for the sake of almonds! ”

As he spoke, he looked at the almonds again and pleaded bitterly.

"Almonds! What I just said was angry! Ask Your Majesty for me! Yes? I really don't want to die! ”

Almond looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was still a little touched, but he was already unmoved on his face.

She stood up and no longer looked at this scene, but pulled Sheng Jingyu and walked directly down the high hall.

How Ren Chu Zhiyong changed from begging to scolding in the back, he never looked back.

"Murder pays for life, and it is a matter of course. Karma, the reincarnation of heaven. ”

Almond muttered, as if he was talking to Sheng Jingyu, and more like he was talking to himself.

"It's good that you can think like that." Sheng Jingyu Road.

The two walked outside the yamen, and as soon as they took a step, someone pounced.

Sheng Jingyu subconsciously pushed out with a palm, but fortunately Almond stopped him.

"Your Majesty. This is my mother. ”

Hearing this, Sheng Jingyu carefully looked at the person in front of him.

I saw that Chu Mu's face was haggard, her hair was mixed with white silk, and her eyes were red and swollen with bean-sized tears.

She is just an ordinary woman, just like Chu Zhiyong, she doesn't look like an almond at all.

"Almonds! Save your father! Why didn't you save her?! ”

Almond asked rhetorically: "He is a scumbag, you can forget about alcoholism and domestic violence at home, and now he bullies women and kills people!" Why save him? ”

Chu Mu was so stunned that she couldn't speak, and only kept muttering.

"He's your father...... He's your father......"

Almonds take a deep breath and exhale.

"He is not my father, and I do not have the power to save those who have committed such an unforgivable crime."

Everything she relied on was just from Sheng Jingyu.

If there was no Sheng Jingyu, she would be nothing.

As the two talked, they screamed and begged for mercy behind them.

After a while, the voice faded away.

Almond didn't dare to look back, but kept moving forward with his head down.

Sheng Jingyu followed her, and Chu Lan accompanied the weeping Chu mother.

I don't know how long I walked, but I couldn't hear the noise outside the yamen anymore, so Almond stopped.

"Are you feeling better?"

Sheng Jingyu handed over a handkerchief, and Almond realized that he was crying.

Why would she cry for the sake of such a person?

That person didn't fulfill his responsibilities at home, nor did he give her the warmth of home.

Even...... He also said that she had picked it up......

Almond took the handkerchief, wiped the tears on his face, and turned to ask Chu Mu.

"Is what he said true?"

Mother Chu was still immersed in grief, and looked up blankly when she heard the words.

Almond repeated, "He said, I picked it up from the snow, is it true?" ”

"You...... What do you say......

Chu Mu's face changed, and she lowered her head and didn't know how to speak.

Chu Mu has always been honest and can't tell lies.

Her current performance has already explained the answer.

Almond was very sad in his heart, and he didn't know what he had been doing for so long.

Chu Lan's face on the side was full of disbelief, it seemed that he didn't know all this.

He asked Chu Mu, "Is this true?" ”

Under Chu Lan's questioning, Chu Mu finally nodded.

With the exact answer, Almond's heart no longer fluctuates so much.

It was inconvenient to talk about this here, so a few people got into the carriage and went back to the newly purchased house.

When Chu Lan and Chu Mu arrived, they were still surprised.

"From now on, it's our home."

Almond said lightly, the original excitement had completely disappeared.

Today would have been a happy day, she never thought it would be like this.

is obviously the joy of moving home, but there is an inexplicable funeral.

Out of exceptional circumstances, Chu Zhiyong's body was transported out of the yamen.

Almond held a funeral overnight and buried Chu Zhiyong in the ancestral grave, which can be regarded as a fallen leaf to return to its roots.

Everyone was in a depressed mood, but after knowing Sheng Jingyu's identity, they all controlled their emotions a little.

Chu Lan was also very silent tonight, he still remembered what Almond said last time he went home, so he was more cautious and said less.

Father Chu deserves it, he is dead, but he can't affect his sister and expose his sister's identity.

Almond didn't think about it so much, but just rested early.

Lying on the bed, she couldn't figure out how she could become like this on the first day of the new year.

I can't sleep, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Almond got up early the next day, and after thinking about it all night, she figured it out a lot.

What kind of person Chu Zhiyong is, everyone knows it.

Without him, they're still a family.

Even if Almond has learned that he does not belong to this family, the grace of nurturing and companionship cannot be eliminated.

Thinking about it, Almond felt that he shouldn't be so depressed anymore.

She is now the backbone of this family, if she has always been like this, what will happen to her mother and brother?

In short, the year is still to be well lived.

During the day, Almond pulled Chu Lan aside and gave him all his savings.

"I may be leaving soon, and there will only be you and my mother in this house. You can take this silver, study hard to replenish your body, and you can also do some small business. ”

Chu Lan borrowed the purse and silver ticket containing the gold, and his face was full of surprise.

"Sister, how can you have so many silver tickets and gold?"

"Some of these are my moon silver, and some of them are given to me by His Majesty." Almond answered truthfully.

When Chu Lan heard this, he could no longer suppress the strangeness in his heart.

He hesitated, but asked.

"Sister, you and Your Majesty...... What exactly is the relationship? ”

If it was an ordinary courtier, how could there be so many bounties?

And sister, who has only been in the palace for more than a year, how can she be so close to Your Majesty?

Almonds at a glance. knew that Chu Lan wanted to be crooked.

She replied solemnly: "Your Majesty and I are courtiers, master and servant. If you go one step further, you can be friends at most. ”

Sheng Jingyu once said that they were friends, and when she said this, it was not a random relationship.

Seeing that Chu Lan wanted to ask again, Almond quickly changed the topic.

"You also heard it that day, it turns out that I am not from the Chu family at all. But don't think about it either. In my heart, this will always be my home, and you will always be my own brother. ”

Looking at Chu Lan, who was much more silent than before, Almond was afraid that he would think in his heart.

Even though the relationship between the two is very close and will not change because of this, she still decided to show her attitude.
