Night had finally fallen, and the light in the room had extinguished all its brilliance after the last struggle, and a hazy darkness enveloped the room. The room was extremely stuffy, and the feeling of heat made Lan Hongda a little irritable, and his forehead was sweating incessantly, and he couldn't wipe off the sweat no matter how he wiped it. Occasionally, troublesome mosquitoes flew by his ears, and the buzzing sound made Lan Hongda even more uneasy. Qinglan was standing in front of him, he couldn't see her facial features clearly, he didn't know her expression, but there was a feeling in his heart, fear and uneasiness.

For so many years, the reason why he hadn't set foot here was not only because of the indifferent feelings between them, but more importantly, he was afraid to see her, even if she had fully recovered her senses and was no longer arguing with him, but he was even more afraid, uncontrollable fear and worry.

Lan Hongda was waiting for Qinglan's answer, he hoped that she could come out of this room to comfort her already thin son, maybe if it continued like this, in a few days, that child might lose his life because of stubbornness, she was his mother, she would not watch him die and be indifferent!

The room was very silent, Lan Hong's voice of anticipation never sounded, he felt that maybe this woman had been here for too long and didn't understand the situation outside, maybe it was because he didn't describe it very seriously and made this woman downplay the seriousness of the problem, so, he explained, "You may not know the form of the current field, that is to do business with the Hulu people, the Hulu people, that is a group of uncivilized barbarians, they don't pay attention to etiquette and morality, they don't pay attention to any sentiment and reason, they are a group of extremely vicious people, Sometimes they even kill people just for some trivial things! Our Yi'er is to do business with those outlaws! You say I'm his father, can I agree to his ridiculous idea of such an adventure? But for so many years, you also know that in Yi'er's heart, my father has always been a shameless person, and he doesn't listen to my opinions at all, not only does he not listen to me, but he also confronts me! Now, I have nothing to do with Yi'er, so I have to beg you, for Yi'er's sake, I can persuade you, after all, he still listens to your words. ”

Lan Hongda's voice was almost pleading, this was also the norm in front of Qinglan after he had a black hand, but the people in the house didn't know, all they heard was the wailing of this poor lady, and they also silently recorded Lan Hongda's "crime" in their hearts. Lan Hongda didn't explain, not because he didn't want to, but he really couldn't speak. Over time, the "fact" of Lan Hongda's abuse of his wife was formed, and even Lan Yi was convinced of it, but only Lan Hongda himself knew that he was just redeeming for his crimes.

Qinglan was still twisting the Buddhist beads in her hand, the sound of rubbing slowly echoed in the air, and she should still be chanting Buddhist scriptures in her mouth, although she couldn't hear what she was chanting.

Qinglan's immobility disappointed Lan Hongda again, and he opened his mouth again and said, "I won't tell you, Yi'er has been on hunger strike for two days...... just like that, Qinglan's hand stopped turning the Buddha beads, and the Buddhist words in his mouth also paused slightly, and Lan Hongda felt hope from that short pause. He stopped talking, he waited for Qinglan's answer.

After another long silence, Lan Hongda heard a voice that he couldn't even believe, "The child is already older, he has his own ideas." Buddhism has clouds, everything has its own fixed number, and you can't force it in case of trouble! Good, good, good! ”

Lan Hongda stood there in amazement, and asked in disbelief, "Are you telling me to promise him?" ”

"I'm just supporting Yi'er's own choice." All of a sudden, all of Lan Hongda's hopes were completely disappointed, he made so much determination, he gambled on his last and all hopes, he believed that this woman would definitely support his idea, and he also believed that this woman would stop Lan Yi without hesitation, but he didn't expect this woman to answer like this! If she wants to take revenge on him Lan Hongda, he believes it, but he doesn't believe that she will take revenge on Lan Yi, that is her son, that is her only child in this world! Now she just let Lan Yi take risks, which is unacceptable to Lan Hongda no matter what!

Lan Hongda definitely didn't have such mental preparation, he couldn't help but ask weakly in horror and disappointment, "Are you angry with the child because of me?" This sounds ridiculous, of course, Qinglan also thinks so, she just sighed softly, "I have let go of my hatred for you, how can I talk about anger?" ”

"Do you think that's what you should say as a mother?" Lan Hongda was a little angry, for the first time, he used such a heavy tone towards Qinglan.

"It's because I'm a mother that I know better." Qinglan's words were loud, and Lan Hongda was completely speechless. He couldn't stand the atmosphere in this room any longer, and he didn't want to stay here for half a minute anymore, so he stumbled out of the room as if he were about to suffocate, and the bright moon and stars flashed in the sky outside, and the slight summer evening breeze blew in and completely blew away Lan Hong's hope.

The road under his feet became extremely rugged, and every step seemed to be in danger of tripping, Lan Hongda looked back at the place that was still dark, in this life, he may not come again. Everything here is no longer his concern, the people here are no longer his hopes, and his last thoughts about this place are completely lost. Between him and her, between them, in this life, may have come to an end.

The night is overwhelming, and the stars are twinkling playfully. The road under his feet glowed blue-gray in the moonlight, and he knew that he was screaming in the trees, and the frogs in the lake were singing, and the lively night had begun, but this scene stirred Lan Hong's restless heart even more restlessly.

Walking out of this territory belonging to Qinglan, behind an arch, Liu Yue'e and her daughter Lan Xue were waiting on his way with lanterns, it was estimated that the waiting time was a little long, Liu Yue'e was already impatient, she kept looking at the fan in her hand, of course, she didn't know what she was complaining about, although she couldn't hear clearly, she didn't know what she was talking about. Lan Xue kept looking at the side, although she could walk into the backyard without hesitation, but because her mother was there, she didn't dare to easily make Liu Yue'e sad, let alone hear her endless complaints, so she had to accompany Liu Yue'e and wait here.

When Lan Hong walked out of the arch in despair, the corners of Liu Yue's mouth showed a smile that was not easy to be checked, that smile was so casual, it was so obscure, if it wasn't for careful snooping, no one would have noticed, and more importantly, no one would care about her look at this time.

Lan Xue quickly stepped forward to support Lan Hongda, and asked with concern, "Dad, what did the eldest mother say?" Is there anything she can do? Lan Hong raised his eyes, he saw Lan Xue's pure and immaculate face and that transparent look, although he preferred boys, but this daughter, this angelic daughter did bring a lot of comfort to his soul. But it was precisely because of Lan Xue that he felt guilty in his heart for the child he had killed as a killer, and as he grew older, that self-blame increased day by day, to the point where he couldn't get rid of it if he wanted to! If the child were still there, he would be much older than her.

"Master, is there any way for my sister? Will she come out and persuade Yi'er that child? Liu Yue'e said, she has always called Qinglan her sister, but this sister is just a title in her mouth, and there is no emotional color, let alone the slightest weight. Lan Hongda was still silent, he was supported by Liu Yue'e and Lan Xue left and right, and his sad mood was slightly relieved. A nameless sigh hit her heart, maybe just like Qinglan said, people have a fate, and everything is fixed, no one can force it, no one can change it.

It's a pity that he Lan Hongda doesn't have many sons in his life, and he only has a son and a daughter like Lan Yi and Lan Xue in half his life, if he has more sons, or Lan Xue is a boy...... It's a pity that everything is just in vain, there is a cruel reality in front of him, Lan Yi is his only son, and this son is exhausted at the moment.

"If you want me to say, the lord is too fond of him, and he has withdrawn from a good marriage, and now he is going to the scene again! He didn't appreciate the old man's protection of him like this, so he might as well just ask him to go out and break in, so that he would know how sinister it was outside, and when the time came, he would know that it hurt. Liu Yue'e was half dissatisfied and half caring.

"Mother, don't talk about brother, we should find a way to get my brother to eat now." Lan Xue smacked her mouth twice and said.

"Even his own mother doesn't care about him, and he won't listen to us people anymore. You treat him as an elder brother and think about him all day long, but when did your brother treat you as his own sister? ”

"Shut up! Complaining all day long? Who are the outsiders? Who are the loved ones? Who doesn't treat Cher as a sister anymore? At a fork in the road, Lan Hong yelled at Liu Yue, snatched a lantern from her hand and walked away in the direction of Tingfeng Pavilion.

"Master, you know that you lost your temper with our mother and daughter, so you can't bear to say a word about your disobedient son, how much harm has he caused to our house? You are still so used to him, sooner or later, one day the Lan family will let him be defeated! Liu Yue'e was so angry in the back that she jumped to her feet, but Lan Hong didn't look back.

"Cher, have you seen it? This is your dad! He would rather our Lan family be defeated by his son of a loser than think about our mother! ”

"Mother, don't talk about it, it's time for Dad to be upset. Besides, my brother is like that, who doesn't feel distressed when he sees it? What's more, he also wants to take risks for the sake of our Lan family, so you don't have to say a word! Lan Xue stroked Liu Yue's foreheart, and said for her.

"You heartless guy, you're always so brainless, who am I doing this for?" Liu Yue'e looked at Lan Xue with distress.

"Mother, I know you are for me, but my brother is also my father's son! We're all family, and what you're worried about won't happen at all. What's more, isn't my brother thinking about taking risks now for our house to make a comeback? Lan Xue smiled coquettishly, and Liu Yue's temper also decreased a lot.

"You know that you are protecting your cold-blooded brother, I think he can give you something good at that time?" Liu Yue'e pinched Lan Xue's face, just gently, softly, and Lan Xue smiled and carried Liu Yue'e towards her room.
