Ah Yu looked at the full room of the Duan Mansion with a solemn face, this is something that has never happened in Wen Ru's memory, in that life, although Mrs. Duan rarely appeared in front of people, but at least when Wen Rugu died, she was still alive.

Duan Yuzhi, who was far away in the White Horse Academy, also learned the news of Mrs. Duan's death, and when he hurried home, it was already too late.

Master Duan had already changed into mourning clothes, kneeling in front of the spirit, guarding Mrs. Duan's corpse, without saying a word.

Duan Yuzhi, who was kneeling next to him, was the same.

The big and small matters in the house are in charge of the housekeeper around Master Duan, the things that should be prepared for the funeral, and things like delivering funeral books to those close to them, although the master doesn't care about things at this time, but they can't make mistakes at such a critical juncture, otherwise the consequences will definitely not be something they can bear.

"Mother's ......" Ah Yu grabbed Mrs. Wen's sleeve and didn't dare to leave her.

On that day, after Mrs. Wen San and the others learned about Mrs. Duan's suicide, they could neither leave directly nor continue to stay in Duan's mansion, so they sent two groups of people out, one group went to the direction of the official office to find Master Duan, and the other group went out of the city to find Duan Yuzhi in the White Horse Academy.

After Master Duan hurried back, these ladies who were invited by Mrs. Duan left one after another.

Second Lady Wen and Third Lady Wen left a while later than the others, and when Master Duan was still immersed in the pain of losing his wife, after thinking about it, they told Master Duan about many of Mrs. Duan's actions, regardless of whether the other party remembered it in their hearts or not, they also said it before leaving.

Today is Mrs. Duan's first seventh, and it will take some time for Fuling to go up the mountain.

Ah Yu caught a glimpse of Xi Rou and Mrs. Xi standing between the guests, Mrs. Xi's face was uneasy, but Xi Rou, who was standing below her, looked at Duan Yuzhi with more and more determined eyes.

"Brother Yuzhi, I heard the housekeeper say that you haven't been touching a drop of water since you returned home, how can your body stand it like this, I think Aunt Duan has a spirit in the sky, and she will definitely not want you to treat yourself so badly." Xi Rou saw that Master Duan on the side finally reluctantly cheered up to entertain the guests, and after waiting for them to leave, he quietly walked to Duan Yuzhi, who was still kneeling in front of the mourning hall, holding the boiled water that he had specially asked his subordinates to pour.

Duan Yuzhi listened to Xi Rou's words with a blank expression, and did not react at all.

When he returned home, Mrs. Duan had already passed the small funeral, and Lan Yin had changed her shroud.

failed to return home before Mrs. Duan's death, only saw her face after death, and Bai Aya strangled a blue and purple mark between her neck, which looked a little infiltrating.

"If my mother can see my current appearance, she will probably only laugh with her palms, how can she be reluctant...... Duan Yuzhi muttered to himself, he has known it a long time ago, his mother has always looked down on some of his methods, and at first she would also think about persuading him, but he never listened to his mother's words, and again and again, after all, his mother was completely disappointed in him after all!

The people who were originally crowded in front of the spirit have all been led out by the subordinates, and only Duan Yuzhi and Xi Rou are left in the room.

Xi Rou glanced at Lan Yin, who was kneeling silently in the corner, and withdrew her eyes with little interest, and gently persuaded Duan Yuzhi.

"How can there be a mother in this world who doesn't like her children!" She paused for a moment to make sure that Duan Yuzhi was still listening to her, and then continued: "I heard my mother say that before Mrs. Duan returned to the room that day, what she talked to others was still your business, if she wasn't reluctant to you, how could she keep thinking about your affairs......

“…… I have heard of a disease before, and people who have that disease are no different from ordinary people on weekdays, but when they encounter problems, they always can't help but think about things in the most pessimistic direction. If people are full of pessimistic thoughts, they will often have the idea of self-judgment, but when they are born with the idea of self-judgment, there is no trace, and no one knows when they will give up their lives. ”

Duan Yu's wooden eyes looked at Xi Rou, who also knelt down, and there was an expectation in his eyes that he couldn't explain.

"Is that really the case?" He asked Xi Rou, "Mother, she's just sick, doesn't she really want to abandon me?" ”

Xi Rou raised her hand to straighten the broken hair on Duan Yuzhi's sideburns, and nodded: "Have you forgotten that Mrs. said at the last birthday banquet that her life was short?" She should have been sick at that time, but most doctors today can't even see this kind of psychological illness, let alone prescribe medicine for diagnosis and treatment. ”

Duan Yuzhi hugged Xi Rou beside him, as if he was hugging the last piece of driftwood on the water.

He said in a hoarse voice, "If only my mother hadn't been sick...... Arou, I don't have a mother......"

"I ...... too" Xi Rou hated herself for being quick for a while, and almost said something she shouldn't say, her mother died of illness in this world, and she has been begging for a living behind her father since she was a child, but that was a long time ago. She is now a parent and a parent, although she lives like a single-parent family on weekdays, but her parents are indeed still alive.

"I also know that you are sad now, but the deceased is gone, and the living always have to look forward, Madame, she must still hope that Brother Yuzhi can live a better life......"

Ah Yu was originally in the hall on the other side with Mrs. Wen, but just in time for Mrs. Xi to talk to Master Duan about Mrs. Duan's life, it seemed that she wanted to directly set the marriage between Duan Yuzhi and Xi Rou. If they don't get married within the 100 days of filial piety, then the date of marriage will have to be postponed for another three years.

In three years, there is so much that can happen.

Even if Xi Rou didn't specifically talk to Mrs. Xi about this at home, she was going to tell Master Duan, and it was the kind of statement that the teacher was famous for.

After all, before Mrs. Duan surrendered, she happened to make an appointment with her to marry a pair of children.

Ah Yu knew Mrs. Xi's concerns, but the person closest to her was Mrs. Duan.

Those people were talking about the marriage between Duan Yuzhi and Xi Rou in the courtyard of the mourning hall, and their beaming appearance was diametrically opposed to Man Yuan's Su, but as long as they could have a little sincerity towards Mrs. Duan, they shouldn't have said this kind of thing when she was in the first seven.

Even if they took 10,000 steps back and said that they really wanted to fulfill Mrs. Duan's last wish, they could mention it in private, rather than discussing the dowry in the background of the garden.

Ah Yu couldn't listen to those things, and thought that although she and Mrs. Duan had broken off their relationship, the relationship in the past was not fake, so she thought about going to Mrs. Duan's spirit to put a stick of incense.

Before she even stepped through the door of the main hall, she saw men and women hugging each other in front of the spirit.

Between the entanglement of green silk, there is a bit of ambiguity for no reason.

If it was time to change sides, Ah Yu could still applaud the two of them, but now it was in front of Mrs. Duan's spirit, which made Ah Yu can't help but want to brush his sleeves away.

It's just that Ah Yu is still thinking about Mrs. Duan in the end.

She retreated to the gate of the courtyard, and ordered the maid next to her to take the first step, at least when she entered the door, so that the two people in the room should not continue to hug each other.

"Ah, I don't have a mother......

Duan Yuzhi had already let go of Xi Rou in his arms, he knelt on the futon in front of the spirit, and looked back at Ah Yu at the door, with tears in his eyes, and his grief was overflowing.

Ah Yu looked at his red eyes, and suddenly remembered the day Wen Ru lost his parents.

Duan Yuzhi bypassed the others in the mansion and appeared in front of Wen Rugu.

He said a lot of comforting words, but the one that impressed her the most was the wrong one.

He said to Wen Ruguo: "Anyone who is a mother will love her children." The reason why Mrs. Wen left you behind is not because she doesn't love you enough, maybe because she, like my mother, is sick. ”

"In addition to physical diseases, people will also get sick in their hearts, and there is still medicine to cure physical diseases, but when they are sick in their hearts, there is really no cure. Third Lady Wen was just sick and had to leave you behind, and if she had a choice, I believe she would not be willing to leave you. ”

Not only Wen Ru on the spot, but even Ah Yu, who saw that memory later, was also moved by Duan Yuzhi's words.

The saddest thing for Wen Rugu is that her father and mother lingered on the sickbed because of the death of her brother, and even died in the end.

She will also be sad about the death of her brother, but the dead relatives will always live in their hearts, shouldn't the living be the most important thing at the moment?

Why can she try to cheer herself up because she thinks of her father and Wen Ning, but why can't her father and mother do this!

Rather than believing that his father and mother love his brother more, the degree of love has reached the point of life and death, and Wen Rusu is more willing to believe that his father and mother are sick.

Because there is no cure, so I have to leave her and Wen Ning.

Although Ah Yu now knows that the reason why his father and mother died is because someone put other things in the decoction they drink every day, and the medicinal properties will clash with each other, and they will die. But she was still very grateful for the comfort that Duan Yuzhi gave her at that time.

Therefore, she listened to Duan Yuzhi's words, and after thinking for a while, she disrupted the order of the words that Duan Yuzhi said in her memory, recombined them into sentences, and then gave them to Duan Yuzhi.

As soon as the words fell, Ah Yu saw the two kneeling opposite each other with different faces, as if she had said something very amazing.

The sound of the lantern in front of the spirit is the wick of the oil lamp burning, and only in the silence can you hear that sound.

After a long time, Duan Yuzhi looked up at Ah Yu and smiled reluctantly: "Ah Yu and Ah Rou are actually common sayings, I originally thought that Ah Rou said it nonsense to make me happy." Now, it seems that I am too lonely to hear. ”

Hearing the key point in his words, Ah Yu couldn't help but stop his eyes on Xi Rou on the side.

Before Duan Yuzhi and Wen Rusu said that, she never knew that people would also have symptoms in their hearts, although she had also heard that some people were crazy for no reason, but in the end they didn't connect the two things together, and they still got Duan Yuzhi's reminder before they gradually became concerned about these things.

It turned out that those words didn't come from Duan Yuzhi in the first place!

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Ah Yu's heart, and before she could catch the flash of light, she disappeared directly.

After incense in front of the spirit, she felt that she had nothing to say to Duan Yuzhi and Xi Rou, and after saying two or three words without words, she withdrew in the name of Mrs. Wen.

On the way back, Ah Yu and Mrs. Wen sat in the same carriage.

Ah Yu thought for a moment in her heart, but she couldn't figure out what the previous aura meant, so she left the unsolvable mystery behind, and when she looked up, she saw Mrs. Wen's sullen appearance, which made her feel a little surprised in her heart.

"Why doesn't my mother look like she's not happy?"

Third Lady Wen was naturally not happy.

Because of Mrs. Duan's death, Master Duan held a funeral for him, and he resigned directly from the imperial court, which was very different from Master Duan's previous temper. She also thought that Master Duan would take a vacation of two or three months at most, but she never thought that he would resign one day.

Could it be that people in this world really know to cherish when they lose it!

In addition to this incident, what she was more worried about was the mother and daughter of the Xi family.

I think that at the beginning, when the Xi family's mother and daughter lived temporarily in the Wen Mansion, although Mrs. Wen knew that Ah Yu and Xi Rou couldn't get along, she hadn't found anything particularly bad about the Xi family's mother and daughter, but that kind of idea couldn't last long after all.

Third Lady Wen and Ah Yu are general thoughts, even if Mrs. Xi wants to fulfill Mrs. Duan's last wish, they should not discuss the marriage of the two children with Master Duan in front of everyone when Mrs. Duan's bones are still cold.

Mrs. Duan's last wishes.

People like Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen who are close to them, can they forget such an important matter?

Definitely not!

The reason why they didn't mention it in person was to discuss it with Master Duan in private, so that they could save the face of the two families, but who would have thought that Mrs. Xi would be so impatient!

Mrs. Wen gently patted the back of Ah Yu's hand: "Ah Yu couldn't play with the little girl of the Xi family before, and sure enough, it was because of the other party's bad character......

A sudden sentence, no matter how much Ah Yu asked, he couldn't hear her say anything else.

Before going to bed at night, Ah Yu, as usual, reviewed everything she had seen and heard during the day in her mind, trying to see if there was anything she had missed.

It's probably because in the dead of night, people's thoughts will be more imaginative.

Ah Yu's usual review really made her discover something unusual.

The meaning of Duan Yu's words was clearly that she and Xi Rou said something similar, and he had never heard of these words before, but the reason why Ah Yu was able to say those things was obviously from Duan Yuzhi.

In this way, those words did not originally come from Xi Rou's mouth.

But Xi Rou would not say such things for no reason, and it was impossible for her to make a feud with Duan Yuzhi, so naturally it was impossible to name the other party's mother and say that her heart was sick.

Unless, she is experiencing some special situation.

Just like the situation she was facing now.
