The next day, it was cloudy.

The sea of flowers in Fuyue Mountain withered in autumn, and the flowers withered and fell, and there was a sense of sadness.

There was a new grave next to the old one. Buried inside are her dearest and beloved relatives who will never see each other.

White flags were still raised in front of the grave, and the paper money that had just been burned to ashes was blown away by the gusts of autumn wind and filled the sky.

Xu Chaodui knelt down in front of the grave, thousands of words were churning in his heart, but he couldn't say a word.

Li Hanchen stood behind her and guarded her. She lost a lot of weight, and her thin back trembled slightly, like a dead leaf on a branch, which would be swept off when the autumn wind blows.

A quarter of an hour had passed, and he crouched down beside her, and reached out to take her into his arms.

"There are relatives, at the ends of the earth, everywhere is home. But after that, I didn't have a home anymore. ”

The girl muttered to herself, her words damp and drenched as if they were soaked in the cold waters of a lake.

Li Hanchen hugged her hand a little tighter, her thin lips were attached to her sideburns, and she said solemnly, word by word: "You won't be without a home." As long as I'm here, you'll always have a home. ”

"I want to go to Changxing Houfu to pick up my brother's relics." She leaned softly in her son's arms, and her body was as soft as boneless.

"Okay." Li Hanchen hugged her horizontally: "Wherever you want to go, I will accompany you." ”

……

The canopy carriage passed through the crowded streets and finally stopped in front of the Changxing Houfu with white lanterns.

A few days ago, Changxing Houfu gave an empty burial to his adopted son who unfortunately died, and the whole family was extremely sad.

The sharp-eyed doorman saw the familiar carriage and immediately rushed into the house to inform Changxinghou.

The two entered the mansion and walked straight towards the Yunhe Courtyard where Xu Chaoheng lived before his death.

When the servants passing by saw the two of them, they hurriedly retreated to the side and hung their heads with bated breath.

During this time, the atmosphere in the house was terrifyingly depressing, and at this time, it was absolutely impossible to touch the mold.

When he came to Yunhe Courtyard, Xu Chaowei stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, the furnishings in the house were still the same, everything had not changed, but the owner was gone.

Only at this moment can we experience the infinite pathos of things being human and wrong.

Xu Chaoheng's relics are not many, they are nothing more than some books and wood carving gadgets.

She knew that her brother loved carving. A few days ago, he said that he wanted to surprise her.

She swept through the small room at a glance, and finally endured the emotions of the rolling waves to find a box and put her brother's favorite books and wood carvings into the box one by one.

"Twilight...... Little Madame—" A soft voice came from behind itself.

Xu Chaodui turned around slowly, and the person who came was a green branch.

Since Xu Ruixiang escaped, she was sent by the Yang family to do chores in another courtyard.

"What's the matter?" Even the tone of speech is weak.

"Little Madam Li, this ...... This is the little boy's stuff. ”

Green Branch, with red eyes, respectfully handed her the humanoid wood carving hidden in his sleeve.

In the past, when the second lady was at home, she often took her to play with Miss Twilight and Heng Xiaogongzi.

The little boy is easy-going and approachable, and he is polite to her as a lowly slave.

It's a shame to be such a nice person......

Xu Chaodui looked at the humanoid wood carving in the hand of the green branch, his eyes froze, and then tears rolled in like a flood bursting the embankment.

That's what she looks like.

The wood carving is exquisite, and the color is also colored, which shows the intention of the carver.

The girl took the wooden carving with trembling hands, but it was still wet.

"Where did you find the ......?" opened his mouth, and sadness came to his face.

Green Branch lowered his head: "I caught it in the lotus pond." When the servant saw that they were about to throw it away, she quietly asked for it to be returned to you, and the servant thought that it must be very important to you. ”

A tear fell on the girl-shaped wood carving, and Xu Chaowan choked up: "Thank you......"

Before the green branch withdrew, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Little Mrs. Li, you ...... Take care of yourself. ”

"Wait—" The girl was silent for a few seconds before suddenly calling out to her.

Luzhu turned around and saluted: "Please command." ”

Xu Chaowan held the moist wood carving and asked, "This wood carving was fished out of the lotus pond?" ”

"Yes."

Xu Chaodui looked at the green branch fixedly, and doubts came one after another.

However, she was completely determined in her heart that her brother would never be unfortunate enough to fall into the water.

This has to be figured out!

Walking out of Yunhe Courtyard with the box, Chang Xinghou had already taken everyone to guard outside the courtyard.

They were just about to salute Li Hanchen when they saw him shake his head and signaled that he didn't have to.

Chang Xinghou looked at his haggard daughter, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he blamed himself very much.

Since he chose to protect Yang'er, that is, he is sorry for the dead Heng'er and the living Twilight.

But he had already lost one son, and he could never lose another.

"Twilight, Father-in-law......"

As soon as he stepped forward, the girl took a step back indifferently.

She looked at Changxing Hou coldly, and the words that came out of her mouth were extremely ruthless: "From now on, I Xu Chaodui and you Changxing Houfu will have nothing to do with each other." ”

Chang Xinghou was choked and speechless. He had expected that his paranoid and stubborn daughter would have such a choice.

Out of sight, out of mind. Xu Chaodui turned his head and left, and Li Hanchen followed closely behind.

"His Royal Highness Linwang—" Chang Xinghou shouted.

Li Hanchen stopped and looked back, and said lightly: "This king has nothing to do with you. ”

Chang Xinghou looked at him with a sad face, and his words were hidden begging: "I hope for Your Highness, take care of Duan'er." ”

Li Hanchen's expression was faint: "This is my responsibility, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

As soon as the two took a step, Xu Tinglan trotted forward to stop Xu Chaodui.

Xu Chaowan didn't look at her, but asked lightly, "What do you want?" ”

Xu Tinglan's eyes were sympathetic, and she pursed her lips to comfort her: "No one wants this kind of thing to happen, you have to take care." ”

She was influenced by her mother to hate Xu Chaodui, but she just hated it, and she had no other thoughts.

And now, there is no more hatred, only sympathy and guilt. Guilt that can't be said for a lifetime.

Xu Chaodui glanced up at her, and without saying a word, he walked around her and strode away.

Changxing Houfu, staying for a second longer is disgust.

On the way home, Li Hanchen saw the girl blinking and staring at the human-shaped wood carving in her hand, and the good-looking Xiaoshan frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.

When she returned to the house, she withdrew the vanilla and left Aunt He to interrogate alone.

"Aunt He, I suspect that my brother was killed by someone." The girl regained her composure and spoke her thoughts.

Aunt He looked at her in surprise when she heard this.

When Heng'er went to find Chang Xinghou that night, she didn't go with her, and she didn't hurry until Luzhu secretly came to tell her.

She didn't know what was going on.

The girl expressed the doubts in her heart: "First, when my younger brother went to see Changxinghou, how could he bring this wood carving with him?" Second, it was night, and according to my brother's temperament, he should go straight back to the room, so how could he go to the pond? Third, wait ......"

As if she thought of something, her eyes widened: "I was so sad at that time that I ignored a small bruise on my brother's arm!" The bruise had obviously been treated, and only a faint mark remained......"

As soon as these words came out, the breathing in the room was suddenly audible, and Aunt He was even more speechless.

If that's the case, it's a murder.

Xu Chaodui looked at the wood carving and muttered to himself: "I have to go to Changxing Houfu tonight." ”
