Xu Rui was so confused that even he didn't know how he got to the backyard.

Facing the small door, Xu Rui raised his hand, but he couldn't push it down, and stood at the door like a statue for a moment.

In the backyard of the Shuaifu, Mrs. Liu gently shook a loom, and the silk threads slowly turned into smooth silk under the series of shuttles.

Originally, during the battle for the heir, Mrs. Liu was going to wait for Liu Yi in the mansion, but she couldn't resist Xu Rui's hard persuasion, and finally followed Xu Rui to the northwest.

Mrs. Liu is old, especially after this time to fight thousands of miles, she has a serious illness, her health is not as good as before, and she has not been very good recently, Xu Rui is afraid that she will be depressed and will have a serious illness again, so he got a loom to let her have a sustenance.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu couldn't put down the loom, and every day she was like a weaver, busy from morning to night, looking at the silk woven in her hand, she finally smiled more and more.

"Squeak".

The door of the backyard was pushed open, and Mrs. Liu stopped the loom in her hand and squinted towards the door.

"Is Rui'er here?"

Mrs. Liu asked faintly, her eyes were already a little presbyopia, and she had cataracts last year, and she couldn't see clearly, Xu Rui had been planning to operate on her, but the technical conditions were not mature at the moment, so it was delayed until now.

"Auntie...... It's ...... me."

Xu Rui agreed and walked in with a calm face.

Hearing that Xu Rui was really here, Mrs. Liu's face was suddenly filled with a warm smile, and she got down from the loom with the support of the two maids, ready to greet Xu Rui.

"Slow down, slow down!"

Xu Rui hurriedly ran up a few steps, took Mrs. Liu's hand from the maid, and helped her slowly walk to the Taishi chair in the courtyard and sit down.

"Didn't you just ask for peace, why did you come again? It's not that my aunt said you, this northwest is in ruins, everything is pointed at Rui'er you, you come to say hello sooner or later, and accompany my old wife to talk about it for more than half an hour, it's too much delay. ”

Mrs. Liu said to Xu Rui with a smile, although her words were blame, the smile on her face was full of warmth.

"Don't delay things, the Chamber of Commerce has An Ge to take care of, and there are Shaodong and them in the army, I'm just coordinating, how can there be so many things to do."

Xu Rui whispered.

Mrs. Liu waved her hand and said: "It's nonsense, people follow you and trust you, you can't live up to the trust of others, you must build the northwest into a rich and strong place, and live and work in peace and contentment, so that you can live and work in vain The importance of the first emperor to you, and worthy of the heavy responsibility entrusted to you by the ancestors of the Great Wei Dynasty, understand?" ”

Xu Rui nodded: "The child understands." ”

Mrs. Liu sighed and said: "It's also that the world is not quiet, the first emperor is so heroic, I didn't expect to teach King Yu such a rebel, kill the king and kill his brother, and make my Great Wei good, but it has become what it is now."

Alas...... Your father-in-law used to think about ruling the world for the Great Wei all day long, but he didn't think that this long-cherished wish had not been fulfilled, and he poured out such a thing, and his temperament would definitely not tolerate such a thing that was contrary to loyalty and humanity, so he jumped out to be a loyal minister, and he didn't care about me, a lonely old woman. ”

Speaking of Liu Yi, Xu Rui's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and he shook his head and said: "Auntie, don't say that, my father-in-law has been iron-clad and loyal all his life, he is the hero of Dawei, and he will never leave you alone?" ”

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "That's good, this stubborn old man, there's really no way, I've been used to it for so many years, if I hadn't fallen in love with him at the beginning, how could I marry him at that time?"

Looking back now, time is really fast, after so many years, he has changed from a young man to a stubborn old man, and his temper is still the same.

Fortunately, Rui'er, you are still there, inheriting the old guy's temperament, and leaving the only seedling in the northwest for Dawei.

In the future, if you are able to turn the tide, your stepfather will jump for joy, and at that time, our family will be in harmony, and your stepfather and I will wait to hold our grandson. ”

Xu Rui listened to Mrs. Liu's words quietly, his heart was sour, and tears fell down in large pieces.

"What's wrong with Rui'er? Have you been wronged? ”

Although Mrs. Liu's eyes were not good, she also sensed Xu Rui's sadness and asked with concern.

Xu Rui hurriedly wiped away his tears, shook his head and said, "No, the child's recent pressure is too great and he is a little tired." ”

Mrs. Liu showed a kind smile, gently stroked the back of Xu Rui's head and said, "Silly boy, you are just like your father-in-law, you are people who can't lie."

You are all people who shed blood without tears, and you have not been tired after years of fighting, so how can you shed tears?

It doesn't matter, Auntie is here, there is nothing that can't be passed by Auntie when it comes to big things, don't worry, it will get better, everything will be fine. ”

Mrs. Liu's words were like a mother's comfort, like a sharp sword piercing Xu Rui's heart, and in an instant, the deeply suppressed emotions in his heart could no longer collapse, bursting out like a torrent, and tears flowed down irrepressibly.

People are like this, when no one cares, they tend to be as strong as a stubborn stone, but once someone touches the weakness in their hearts, the sadness will tilt out like a.

"What's the matter, Rui'er, it will pass, no matter what difficulties you encounter, it will pass......"

Feeling Xu Rui's body trembling slightly, the sadness seemed to be contagious and flowed into Mrs. Liu's heart, and the old lady's tears also flowed down.

"Woo ......"

Xu Rui finally threw himself on Mrs. Liu's lap and cried like a wronged child, unable to answer at all.

Mrs. Liu was distressed and anxious, and asked, "Is there something wrong with your stepfather?" ”

Xu Rui nodded while crying.

Mrs. Liu's body stiffened, but she came back to her senses after a moment, and while shedding tears, she gently patted Xu Rui's back and asked, "Was your stepfather wronged when he left?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head: "He died for Dawei, died for justice, and he was not wronged!" ”

A smile appeared on Mrs. Liu's lips again.

"It's good if you don't feel wronged, if you don't feel wronged......"

"It was the child who was in a hurry to chase the prince, so he didn't take care of his father-in-law, and it was the child who killed his father-in-law!"

Xu Rui sobbed.

Mrs. Liu sighed and said: "State affairs, family affairs, and world affairs are naturally focused on national affairs, and your father-in-law will not blame you if he knows it."

In fact, since I beat you, I know that your father-in-law left because King Yu killed his brother, and I understand that sooner or later there will be such a day, with his temperament, he wants to spread this big secret, and people will definitely not call him a good life!

Good boy, I don't blame you, I really don't blame you. ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Liu couldn't stop crying.

"Auntie, don't worry, child...... Child...... The child will definitely avenge his father-in-law! ”

Xu Rui gritted his teeth and said.

Mrs. Liu shook her head: "No need, your father-in-law doesn't like the way of retribution on the rivers and lakes." ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Liu gently patted Xu Rui and said, "Rui'er, Auntie has something to ask you." ”

Xu Rui hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Auntie, don't beg, no matter what, the child will definitely do it!" ”

Mrs. Liu smiled: "Back then, your stepfather led you into the house as a son, and from now on he will treat you like a son, right?" ”

Xu Rui nodded.

Mrs. Liu said: "Your father-in-law has no children in his life, you and Da Wei are his children, now you have grown up, Da Wei is facing a dangerous situation, aunt wants to entrust Da Wei to you for your father-in-law, hoping that you can inherit his unfinished business, this may be his last wish in the yang world, I don't know if you can afford this burden?" ”

Xu Rui nodded violently: "The child swears to fulfill his father's last wish!" ”

Mrs. Liu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good boy, Auntie has one more thing, Auntie has never been a mother in her life, can you call Auntie a mother?" ”

"Mother!"

Xu Rui didn't think about it before he opened his mouth and called.

"Alas!"

Mrs. Liu happily agreed, but she was already in tears.

"It's a pity, your stepfather didn't hold his grandson, so he didn't have time to be happy for you......"

As she spoke, Mrs. Liu gently wiped away her tears and slowly got up and walked towards the house.

Xu Rui wanted to help, but Mrs. Liu waved her hand and said, "No need, you wait in the courtyard for a while, my mother will go and pick up your father-in-law, so that he doesn't walk too desolate on Huangquan Road." ”

Xu Rui stopped when he heard this, and couldn't help crying when he thought of Liu Yi.

Mrs. Liu slowly walked into the house, and not long after, there was a sudden noise in the room, as if something had hit the ground.

Xu Rui was taken aback, and hurriedly rushed into the room, only to see that Mrs. Liu had been hung on the pillar by a white silk, and the huge impact force when hanging made the white silk stranch Mrs. Liu's cervical vertebrae, and when Xu Rui entered the house, Mrs. Liu had already lost her breath.

"Mother! Yes!! ”

Seeing this, Xu Rui suddenly fell to his knees with weakness and fell to the ground, losing his voice in pain.

I don't know how long later, the door of the backyard reopened, and Xu Rui walked out with a pair of eyes that were swollen like peaches.

An Ge, who had already heard about this, knelt quietly outside the courtyard gate, and only then did he raise his head when he saw Xu Rui come out, and his face had already been washed with tears several times.

"Go and call everyone, let's have a meeting!"

Xu Rui wiped away his tears and said coldly.

An Ge said: "The news of General Liu has spread, everyone is here, waiting for you in the study." ”

"Good!"

Xu Rui said lightly, raised his feet and walked forward, and the moment he staggered past An Ge, although Xu Rui didn't say a word, An Ge felt a murderous aura on Xu Rui.
