This sentence of the third old man went, and the two people in the bedroom were stunned, Cheng Yan was very unhappy that someone interrupted him and forced Cheng Qi to hand in his homework, frowned and turned back and said, "Who!" ”

"Three...... Three masters! ”

Through the door of the bedroom, Miao repeated again.

Cheng Qi also heard it clearly this time, and glared in amazement: "Cheng Yun is dead?!" ”

Cheng Yan licked his lips impatiently, and shouted outside: "Qingmiao! Are you sure Cheng Yunduo is dead! ”

“what！”

Cheng Qi looked at Cheng Yan incredulously, and the man stabilized her, and explained conclusively why he asked: "If he is already dead, let alone the two of us, even if the Da Luo Immortal passes, he won't survive, it's better to hand in his homework and then go over." ”

Cheng Qi covered his face, I'm afraid this person hasn't lived for too long, he's really mentally retarded.

"Not yet!"

As a result, Qing Miao shattered his beautiful plan, and shouted tremblingly: "The third master is almost dead in Changyin Pavilion!" The old lady passed the word! Let everyone go to the Guogong Mansion and wait! ”

"Got it."

Cheng Qi shouted in front of Cheng Yan, then got up and put on his clothes: "I didn't expect Cheng Yunduo to be unable to bear it so quickly, the last time you went to see it, don't say that you can survive the winter!" ”

Cheng Yan simply pulled the robe and wrapped it around her, pulled her and walked out: "Listen to what you said, as if I can let him live, he will live, and if he dies, he will burp immediately." ”

"You've lived here for almost two hundred years, don't you have any special skills?"

Cheng Qi was dragged by him and staggered, but Cheng Yan stopped abruptly, turned his head to stare at him, his eyes were very dark, he was silent for a few seconds, and said deeply: "Do you know what I have gained in this world in the past two hundred years?" ”

Cheng Qi frowned slightly, waiting for him to speak.

"Pain."

Cheng Yan said coldly.

It's just that Cheng Qi didn't buy it at all: "Do you think it's time to sell badly?" ”

"It's not."

"If not, let's go!"

…

The night is cold, even in summer, the Guogong Mansion is in chaos because Cheng Yunduo's oil lamp is exhausted, and it is clear that people still have a breath of air, but the Mansion is crying like a mourner.

Cheng Qi frowned all the way, and was so noisy that he had a headache, but at this time, it seemed that he was too cold-blooded to keep them crying, so he had to endure it.

"What are you crying about!"

At the critical moment, Cheng Dai roared impatiently, looking at the maids and maids who were looking at each other, the young man sat next to him, and said coldly: "People are not dead yet, what is the mourning." ”

They were all sitting in the small hall, only Ji and Cheng Yunduo were in the bedroom, and the latter didn't want everyone to come in and bother him, so he only named them and asked to see them one by one.

After Cheng Dai finished shouting, the noise in the house and the courtyard was really much less, Cheng Qi glanced at Cheng Shu, who was silent, her own father was about to die, she was quite sensible, but her eyes were slightly red, and she clenched her hands.

It is said that there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, perhaps because Cheng Yunduo has been ill for too long, for today, Cheng Shu has long been psychologically prepared.

On the contrary, on the other side, Cheng Ming is like an ant on a hot pot, scratching his ears and cheeks, he will definitely not be able to settle down, he is a rich boy, without his father as a backer, he still wants to live as freely as before in the future, I am afraid it is impossible.

"Desert, why isn't Qiubai here?"

Gu touched Cheng Qi's hand uneasily and asked in a low voice.

Cheng Qi looked around, there was indeed no Cheng Lan here, maybe he was taking care of Shen Lu who was in a coma, or, in fact, in this case, it was not good for him not to come.

Otherwise, with his personal grievances with Sanfang, coupled with Cheng Lan's current character, there will definitely be a lot of unpleasantness when he comes, and it is better to stop this kind of day.

"Something might be wrong."

Cheng Qi prevaricated casually.

Gu didn't continue to ask, and suddenly someone walked into this flower hall, it was Mrs. Cheng, Zhou's mother helped her walk in unhurriedly, and everyone stood up and saluted when they saw this.

"No, just sit down."

Mrs. Cheng commanded, and asked Lily again: "What about the people in the third room?" ”

Cheng Shu and Cheng Ming were both there, Cheng Yun was lying in bed, she asked Ji Taiping naturally, Lily immediately looked at the bedroom and said, "If you go back to the old lady, the third lady is inside." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the bedroom was pushed open, and it was Ji Shi who walked out, she seemed to have aged ten years old overnight, her sideburns were white, her face was haggard, her eyes were red, she came out and saw Mrs. Cheng, and choked up: "Mother." ”

When the people present saw this scene, they felt very uncomfortable, no matter how much the two people in the third room quarreled on weekdays, in the final analysis, they were people who had walked hand in hand with each other for nearly 20 years.

"Where's the third child?"

Mrs. Cheng asked.

Ji said: "He's in there. Looking up at her, "Mother, he wants to see you." ”

Mrs. Cheng didn't speak, and after a pause for a few seconds, she let go of Zhou's mother's hand and went into the bedroom alone, and at this time, Ji said to Cheng Qi again: "Cheng Qi, your third uncle also wants to see you." ”

Cheng Yan glanced at it.

Cheng Qi also looked up and frowned hesitantly.

"Don't go yet!"

Ji suddenly roared: "He's going to die, what can he do with you!" Lonely and helpless, she sat down in her chair, covering her cheeks and weeping, without the majesty of the past.

Seeing this, Gu couldn't bear it, pushed Cheng Qi's hand, the man bowed his head, got up and followed Mrs. Cheng into the bedroom, the door was closed, and there was a strong smell of medicine, mixed with another smell during the period, Cheng Qi, who was a criminal policeman, could smell that it was the smell of death.

Mrs. Cheng glanced back at her, probably worried that Cheng Qi would be afraid when she saw the dying person, so she held her hand intimately and walked over step by step until she arrived at the tent bed.

The strange thing is that Cheng Yunduo's appearance is just haggard, and there is not too much sickness that he can't bear to look at, he leaned on the soft pillow, looked at the two of them, and rarely showed a smile, and said, "Mother, desert, you are finally here." Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down." ”

Cheng Qi moved a chair for Mrs. Cheng next to her, helped her sit down, and stood in obedience, looked at Cheng Yunduo, and said, "Third uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Looking at Cheng Qili's neat appearance, Cheng Yunduo smiled again, but every time he spoke, his breath was weaker than the last time: "Desert, do you know that your appearance and style of not dragging mud and water are really too similar to him." ”

"Who?"

Cheng Qi frowned.

"Your eldest brother has been in a hurry since he was a child."

Mrs. Cheng took over the conversation, and also solved Cheng Qi's doubts by the way, and said: "When I was young, I was a little reckless, but after the crown, I really like the head of the family." ”

"Mother, what about me?"

Cheng Yunduo asked cautiously.

Cheng Qi could see that even if they were all dying people, in the face of Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Yunduo, who was the youngest son, was still so afraid and eager whether it was his eyes or tone.

Mrs. Cheng paused, and then said calmly: "You are very smart, you have been much smarter than your eldest brother and second brother since you were a child, but unfortunately, you are smart but you are mistaken by smart, you are sensitive, easy to be swayed by emotions, and you are always indecisive in doing things, but decisive." ”

Hearing his mother say this, even if the praise was not much, Cheng Yunduo still nodded with satisfaction, he coughed lightly twice, and said with a smile: "Mother, do you remember, in fact, when I was a child, among the three children, you were the most partial to me, what is delicious, fun, even if I don't want to go to school, you can indulge, you take me to the Golden Garden, watch the dwarfs, watch the juggling." He frowned painfully, "That's it, why is it gone forever after the death of the eldest brother." ”

Old Madam Cheng lowered her eyes and said, "Because at that time, you were no longer a child." ”

Cheng Yunduo's smile disappeared, and what was replaced on his face was the sadness of memories and the cathartic tears of these years of torture.

"Mother, even if I am not a child, I am your own son." Cheng Yunduo asked unwillingly, "Why do you treat me like this, all these years, you have dumped me coldly, you don't want to talk to me, you don't even want to look at me more, even if my business is so small, you don't want to help me, even if I ask in front of you, you are just a symbolic charity, you treat your second brother better than me, why?" ”

What Cheng Yunduo asked at this moment is also what Cheng Qi has been asking in the past few years, what makes a pair of biological mothers and sons alienated to the point where they are dying in a stalemate.

"Because of what, you know it in your own heart."

Old Madam Cheng said coldly.

"My son doesn't know!"

Cheng Yunduo suddenly became excited, he propped himself up, coughing violently, Ji Shi who was outside heard the voice and wanted to come in, but the man yelled: "Don't come in!" ”

The footsteps outside the bedroom came to an abrupt halt.

And Cheng Yunduo on the bed panted horribly, and threw himself decadently on the soft pillow, and finally looked a little dying, he said: "Mother, in the past ten years, do you know how I survived? I'm careful not to upset you. Pointing at Cheng Qi, "Do you think I really can't fight this little girl, do you think I really can't calculate that stinky boy who passed by?" "I know, the eldest brother is dead, you are sad, so you protect the children of the long house, I don't want to make you angry, so I have to follow you, in the end, the long house is now the same scenery, but I am going to die, you are also ...... Won't you smile at me? ”

Old Madam Cheng didn't speak, just got up, and it looked like she was leaving.

"Grandmother."

Cheng Qi looked solemn and grabbed the corner of her clothes.

Old Madam Cheng sighed, turned her head to look at Cheng Yunduo and said, "Third child, it's not that I don't want to favor you anymore, it's just that people always have to pay the price for what they have done and what they have said." ”

Anyway, lift your feet and go.

"But I didn't kill the eldest brother!"

Cheng Yun shouted angrily.

This sound not only stunned the other two people in the bedroom, but even the group of people sitting in the flower hall across the door heard it, Ji Shi raised his head suddenly, and Gu Shi next to him stood up in astonishment, Cheng Dai immediately said: "Mother." ”

He held Gu's body, which trembled instantly, and glanced at the people in the room who were also confused, frowning, and only continued to listen to the movement in the bedroom.

And at this moment, someone walked into the flower hall, and it was a person from the second room.

Cheng Yunshan looked anxious, walked in, didn't speak, just found a corner and sat down in a sullen voice, with him there was Zheng, her eyes were extremely red, standing next to her husband timidly, she didn't bring Cheng and Cheng, afraid that this kind of scene would scare them.

Seeing Zheng, Ji's expression became more complicated, he closed his eyes in pain, lowered his head again, and said, "Zheng, after Mother and the desert come out later, you can go in." ”

Zheng Dengshi looked over and was short of breath.

Ji's sentence is really a bit of a thought, Cheng Yun died, he didn't even see his own children, he wanted to see his second sister-in-law, but the elders still knew the reason, such as Gu's Aunt Meng was first-class, and of course there was Cheng Yunshan.

In front of so many people, Ji said this, Cheng Yunshan's lips moved, as if he wanted to express his attitude, but after hesitating for two seconds, he swallowed it all.

"Did the third uncle say this?"

Zheng pinched his handkerchief and asked nervously.

Ji Shi looked ahead and said coldly: "He didn't say it, but I know that the person he wants to see the most before he dies must be you, and if you accompany him, he can also walk more peacefully." ”

Hearing this, Zheng nodded his head.

And at this moment, in the bedroom, Mrs. Cheng was stunned by that sentence, and only after a few seconds did she hold her breath and look over, Cheng Yunduo on the bed looked very strong, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Mother!" The words of a man who are dying are also true, with all due respect! His tone sank again, "You have looked at me unpleasantly all these years, and you have been so cold to me, but you just thought that I killed my eldest brother." ”

Old Madam Cheng's hand trembled violently, at this point, Cheng Qi noticed that she was a little confused now, took a step forward, looked at Cheng Yunduo and said, "Third uncle, what are you talking about?" Didn't my dad die of illness? And what does it have to do with you? ”

"Mother."

Cheng Yunduo couldn't support it at this time, so he couldn't take care of Cheng Qi, and only said to Mrs. Cheng: "Over the years, because of the death of my eldest brother, you have a grudge against me, but I tell you the truth, I do want to kill him, but I don't, I haven't started yet, someone has rushed in front of me, and Ge Yuanjun is not my accomplice, big brother, I didn't kill him." ”

This situation is indeed Mrs. Cheng's heart knot for more than ten years, her actions are not eccentric Cheng Yunyang, on the contrary, she really loved Cheng Yunduo more when she was a child, but the reason why this mother's love is broken is because Cheng Yunduo killed Cheng Yunyang in order to seize his career.

"Then after all these years, why don't you explain it to me?"

Mrs. Cheng said suspiciously.

"I explained, but after you made up your mind, Mother, you didn't allow me to explain it at all." Cheng Yunduo said weakly, "I have explained to you many times, but you can't listen to it, and you insist that it was me and Ge Junjun who murdered my eldest brother and mother." He said sadly, "You just said that I was indecisive...... If I really killed my eldest brother, if I could be so ruthless, how could Desert and Zongyu survive until now, and I wouldn't tolerate the rest of the Sanzhuang industry to be separated, because I killed my eldest brother and took it, didn't I? How could I give it to someone else. ”

"Mother." Cheng Yun said, "The reason why I fell into such a field is not precisely because I care about my eldest brother that I have repeatedly made concessions to the long house?" ”

Old Madam Cheng's eyes were a little mixed, and after a few seconds of silence, she said, "You did this because you killed your eldest brother and felt guilty." ”

When Cheng Yunduo heard this, he didn't feel much hopeless, but shook his head with a wry smile: "Whether you believe it or not, mother, in a word, I didn't kill my eldest brother." ”

Mrs. Cheng didn't answer this time, but just went out with neat steps.

Cheng Qi stood in place, looking at the frustrated man on the bed, at this moment, in the face of the death that could not struggle and everything was in vain, all hatred seemed to be not so important.

"Third uncle."

She said calmly, "I believe in you. ”

Cheng Yunduo raised his eyes and smiled lightly: "You are a smart child." Coughing twice, "You're much smarter than the two children I gave birth to." ”

"Grandmother, actually, I believe it."

Cheng Qi said again.

"I don't care anymore."

Cheng Yunduo lay down tiredly: "Say it, I'm relieved." ”

Seeing this, Cheng Qi stood in place for a while, and then turned around and wanted to leave, but when she pushed the bedroom door, she faced the previous person, she was stunned, and said, "Second aunt." ”

Hearing these two words, Cheng Yunduo on the bed suddenly opened his eyes again, looking at the Zheng family who came over alone, his eyes overflowed with some reluctance and helplessness, and he raised his hand and said: "It's Tai Ping who asked you to come in to see me, she always likes to make her own decisions." ”

"She asked me to come."

Zheng sat down beside him, looking at Cheng Yunduo, who was so thin and haggard, the tears in his eyes rolled down again, dripping on Cheng Yunduo's outstretched hand.

"Ahh

Cheng Yun trembled and held the hand she was holding: "I didn't expect that has been targeting you and me for more than ten years, but in the end, she can still let you come to see me." ”

Tai Ping, she ...... People themselves are not bad. ”

Zheng raised his head and said, "She said, with me with you, you can walk more peacefully." ”

Hearing this, the smile on Cheng Yunduo's face became more gentle, and he deliberately didn't think about Cheng Yunshan's reaction at the moment, but said, "Ah, all these years, I can't stand you." ”

Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled lightly: "It's okay. ”

"No, I'm sorry for you."

Cheng Yunduo said stubbornly: "I think at the beginning, I made a private agreement with you for life, regardless of asking for your innocence in that Merlin, and promised you that I would marry you home as a wife." ”

Recalling the past of the two, Zheng's tears flowed like a river, pursed his trembling lips, and sobbed: "But later, you told me that my identity is not enough to help you compete with the eldest brother, in order to compete for the family business, you have to marry a daughter of the Ji family, and you want to marry the eldest sister of the rice merchant Ji Cheng, who is named Tai Ping." Tears sparked her eyes, and her voice became lower and lower, "I ask you, I don't want to be a wife, only a concubine to serve you, and you said that the girl of the Ji family is jealous, and she can't allow the rest of the women to be by your side, and I can't enter the door of the third room in my life." ”

Seeing his beloved crying like this, Cheng Yunduo was distressed, and reached out with difficulty to help her wipe the tears from her face, and said: "It's me who is confused, it's me who is confused, I was only thinking about fighting with my eldest brother at the time, and I successfully gained a foothold in Xiping, but I lost you." He blamed himself and said, "I asked for your innocence in Merlin, let you be kicked out of the house by your father, and let you be scolded, I know that I am sorry for you in this life, so I stubbornly threatened the second brother and asked him to marry you as a wife, in fact, I also had selfish intentions at that time, I thought, instead of letting you and I never see each other again, it is better to keep you by my side, that is, I can only see you in the morning and dusk, and I am also satisfied." ”

Zheng shook his head and said bitterly: "I also said Ji Taiping, when you were young, you were more able to make your own decisions than him, you made your own decisions with me for life, and you made your own decisions in Merlin and I had the joy of skin and fish, and finally, you married me to the second master on your own initiative, and in my life, I was really planted in the hands of you, the Yama King." ”

"What did you say?"

Cheng Yun's eyes lit up slightly, and there was hope in his tone: "What did you call me just now?" ”

Zheng Shi realized this, and immediately burst into tears and laughed: "You Yama King, I said that you are the most hateful Yama King in this world, you have played with me all my life, and you will not let me go when you die." ”

"Yes."

Cheng Yunduo held her hand lovingly and repeated, "I am the Demon King." He sighed deeply and said, "Ah, I have lost you in this life, I am not good, in the next life, let's be husband and wife again in the next life, will you promise me?" ”

"Are you just refusing to let me go?"

Zheng smiled bitterly.

Cheng Yunduo insisted and said, "You promise me." ”

"Okay."

Zheng said: "I promise you. After that, Cheng Yunduo was dragged up and sat on the edge of the bed, Cheng Yunduo leaned on her arms, only felt a moment of peace of mind, and said in a low voice, "Ah, it's been more than ten years, I haven't leaned on your arms like this for a long time, I'm so tired, I'm really tired." ”

Zheng lowered his head and said, "I know." ”

After Cheng Yunyang's death, in the past ten years, he has maintained the Qizhuang business left behind, almost exhausting his hard work, being cold to his biological mother, scolded by his wife, and being instructed by people who are close to Xiping, his daughter is well-behaved on the surface, but she still wants to rebel against herself in her heart, and her son is a dou who can't help up.

There are also children in the second room, children in the third room.

and against him.

But he still has to work hard to run the entire Cheng family.

Now, I can finally rest, I can finally hug Zheng again, I finally said all the words in my heart, and I can finally go to see my eldest brother with peace of mind.

"Ahh

Cheng Yunduo's voice became weaker and weaker, and it was difficult to reopen his eyes, but the hand holding Zheng did not let go, and he became more and more forceful, he said, "I am ...... in this life." I'm sorry for you, but the long house is ...... now I'm also counted as ...... Worthy...... Big brother up. ”

After that, he didn't breathe anymore.

Zheng's hand hurt as if it was crushed, but it didn't move, Cheng Yun died, her heart seemed to die with it, closed her eyes, and hummed the little song that the two teenagers often sang when they had a private meeting.

There are lakes and lakes under the mountain, there are bays under the mountain, there is a mountain Lang has not been returned, remember to solve the gold rope, tie the jade chain under the waist of Lang, Lang Don't be in a mess, there are plum blossoms in the corner of the lonely mountain, fold the plum blossoms to give Lang farewell, and Lang arrives home when the plums are ripe.

When I was young, everyone was dressed in anger.

Meet your own peerless elegance.

Zheng only remembered that when the two first met, twelve-year-old Cheng Yunduo was high-spirited, with a bright smile, raising his hands high, obviously to himself, but he said that he recognized the wrong person.

Ah, when I marry you, you will have to marry me.

He later said.

Ah, I'm sorry for you.

He says now.

…

Outside the courtyard, a light rain fell on the faint sky, Cheng Qi stood under the eaves of the corridor, his eyes were complicated, his thin lips were lightly opened, and he exhaled a long breath, only to feel cold.
