Early the next morning.

A group of officials and the Yao family's descendants found Yao Qin's body downstream.

His body was so swollen that it was barely visible.

An inquest was made and it was determined that he had drowned.

How can Yao Junshou withstand this blow?

As soon as the bad news was handed back to Yao's house, he passed out, and the Yao family cried and grabbed the ground.

Yao Qin's body was sent home.

Yao's mansion hung a white lantern with the word "lay" written on it, which was particularly shocking to look at.

Yao Yu had already changed into a vegetarian body, and together with several younger siblings, knelt beside his father's bedside and waited for him to wake up.

The only adult males of the Yao family are him and Yao Qin.

As the eldest son, Yao Qin has been the heart and soul of Yao Junshou since he was a child, and everyone in the Yao family tacitly acknowledged that he would inherit the Yao family business.

When he left, his biological mother, Mrs. Yao, was grief-stricken.

Yao Junshou was in a coma for most of the day before he woke up, but as soon as he woke up, he opened his mouth and said, "My Qin'er", which made the young son and the young girl cry.

Yao Yu knelt in front of the bed, held his father's hand, and choked up: "Daddy's Day mourns, I hope Daddy takes care of his body." ”

Yao Junshou stared at Yao Yu's face, thought for a long time, and muttered, "Yu'er? Are you Yu'er? ”

"Yes, it's a child."

"If only I could exchange you for your eldest brother."

After speaking, Yao Junshou closed his eyes, and tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Yao Yu's heart was like a knife, his hands hung down weakly, and he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Others only regard him as having lost his brother, and his grief is difficult to extricate himself.

Several younger siblings gathered around the second brother like frightened birds and sobbed.

It's been most of the day.

Yao Junshou finally got out of bed, changed into a vegetarian and went to the mourning hall, and Mrs. Yao helped him to see Yao Qin for the last time.

The coffin has not been nailed yet.

Yao Qin's corpse emitted a watery smell, and Rao is coffin could not be covered up by countless spices.

Yao Yu smelled the foul smell and stood there with his head bowed.

But Yao Junshou shook off Mrs. Yao's hand, trembled forward, and cried bitterly beside the coffin: "Qin'er! O my Qin'er! ”

Mrs. Yao had been crying, and his shouting led to more tears.

The two threw themselves on the side of the coffin together, shouting "Qin'er" in a hoarse voice, crying bitterly, and almost wanting to replace each other.

The others came up to persuade him, and Yao Junshou was heartbroken, and sat on the ground and cried: "Why my Qin'er? ”

The rest of the Yao family's children also cried non-stop.

Yao Junshou was heartbroken, and shouted on the ground: "Oh God! Why don't you take the old man's life! As long as my Qin'er survives......"

Mrs. Yao couldn't cry, and hugged her young son and cried.

When the coffin was nailed, Yao Jun's defense wanted to hit the coffin with his head, but everyone hurriedly pulled it open.

Yao Yu looked at all this coldly.

He thought, if he was the one lying in the coffin today, how would the people of the Yao family feel, and would anyone shed a tear for him?

His biological mother died early, his grandmother was very cold to him, and his biological father still wanted to exchange his life for his eldest brother......

I wonder who else will come to collect his body when he dies?

Yao Yu hung his head, and the corners of his lips hooked up a sneer.

Two lines of tears slowly slid down his cheeks.

Early in the morning, the news that Yao Qin, the eldest son of the Yao family, had drowned drunk last night.

Ruan Si heard what Wei Changsheng said, and thought to himself that Yao Yu should replace Yao Qin in Beijing as an official in the near future.

Yao Yu will soon enter Beijing, and she and Yan Yingzhou will continue to stay in Linquan County.

In the future, the mountains and rivers will be far away, and it is best not to see each other again in this life.

Because it was the eldest son of the county guard family who died this time, the people who had a little face in Peach Blossom County went to Yao's house to mourn.

Yan Yingzhou accompanied Ruan Tangying to go.

On the way back, Ruan Tangying sighed with emotion: "The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, Yao Dagongzi left, his father and mother cried so pitifully." ”

He looked at it and felt panicked.

Although he is a rough man, he is also a parent, and he empathizes with the grief of other families who have lost their children.

Ruan Tangying walked a few steps, his steps were vain, and he suddenly leaned against the wall and muttered: "If it were my Qiaoqiao, I would definitely wipe my neck......"

Before the words fell, his voice trembled a little.

"Father-in-law, slow down." Yan Yingzhou hurriedly hugged him and comforted, "Qiaoqiao is all right, don't think nonsense." ”

Ruan Tangying nodded, slowly straightened up, and reluctantly replied, "Virtuous son-in-law, Qiao Qiao will entrust you in the future." ”

Yan Yingzhou replied "yes".

"Over the years, my legs and feet have become more and more disobedient, although I am still running a dart game, but I know that I am old."

"Father-in-law......

Ruan Tangying said sadly and gratifyingly: "In a blink of an eye, Qiao Qiao has grown so big, and her mother and I can't accept old age." ”

"I, Ruan Tangying, have never done anything vigorous in my life, and when I think about it when I get old, I am most proud of having a daughter like Qiaoqiao."

Yan Yingzhou nodded and said, "Qiaoqiao is good at everything." ”

"Hmm!" Ruan Tangying nodded vigorously, her expression becoming a little sad, "But I know that sooner or later I will have to leave many years earlier than this child." ”

He grabbed Yan Yingzhou's arm with both hands and said earnestly: "Good boy, in the future, her mother and I will be gone, and Qiaoqiao will only have you......

Yan Yingzhou was deeply touched, moved in his heart, and a little sad.

"You don't have to persuade me to be relieved, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, I, Ruan Tangying, live a life of licking blood on the knife, can't I see this when I am old?"

Ruan Tangying barely squeezed out a smile, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were as deep as a knife.

After he saw the firmness in Yan Yingzhou's eyes, he slowly let go of Yan Yingzhou's arm.

"Makes you laugh, huh?" Ruan Tangying laughed dryly and said, "We men don't have to say these mother-in-law words to each other. ”

"But I only have one daughter, and she's my sweetheart......"

Ruan Tangying had a smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with vague and happy sadness.

"On the day my daughter got married, half of my heart was cut off. Her mother threw herself into my arms and cried, and sent Qiaoqiao to the sedan chair with tears in her eyes. ”

"I hurt too!" Ruan Tangying smiled, "But I'm a big man, can I say it?" ”

Yan Yingzhou looked at him with a complicated expression, and said seriously: "Qiao Qiao is also my heart. ”

"Good! That's nice! ”

He raised his head and laughed, patting Yan Yingzhou's shoulder vigorously while quietly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Ruan Tangying is a straightforward rough man, who has lived in the shadow of swords and swords all his life, and has never been soft or cowardly to anyone.

Wei Changsheng always thought that his master would always have only two expressions.

Either laugh or get angry.

But today in front of his son-in-law, he seems to be a different person, nagging his mother-in-law and not saying anything, and he has become fragile and vulnerable.

Yan Yingzhou's heart was agitated, and he looked at his father-in-law steadily.

Ruan Tangying finally came to her senses and asked with a smile: "Virtuous son-in-law, do you think my father-in-law is too verbose?" ”

Yan Yingzhou shook his head and said slowly: "My father and father-in-law are the same age, right?" ”

Ruan Tangying was stunned and replied, "Brother Yan is a few years older than me. ”

"Yingzhou was thinking just now," Yan Yingzhou lowered his head, "If my father was still alive, he would say something to me." ”
