Zong Bai said: "Now that Madame is outside, the lord has ordered more protection, and there must be no mistakes." During this time, the things that Gongzi entrusted his subordinates to do may have to be put on hold. ”

Shangguan Li smiled bitterly: "No matter what, it is most important to do Uncle Zong's own duty. ”

Zong Bai sighed suddenly, as if he had no way: "In recent years, Madame's health has not been as good as before, if it weren't for her insistence on going south with Huang Shilang, and the old man was afraid that she would be suffocated, so he let her come out with fear." There are three sons in the house, but none of them are by his side. Although there is the eldest young grandmother and Miss Yi by the side, it is always not as good as the three of you sons-in-law - the eldest son and the two sons, and occasionally letters are sent back, but the second son-the second son has been traveling for ten years, and there is almost no news. As the old saying goes, parents are here, and if you don't travel far, you must have a way to travel. On the surface, Madame never blames Miss, but how can she not care. ”

Shangguan Li couldn't laugh anymore, and said gloomily: "What Uncle Zong said is very true. Yun Niang, she's fine, right? ”

"Madame, she-" Zong Bai suddenly closed his mouth and looked up at Shangguan Li.

"What? Isn't it bad? Shangguan Yan's face was worried.

Zong Bai took a few steps back and said in a panic: "You-you're not a child-"

Shangguan Li smiled: "Why did Uncle Zong say this?" ”

Zong Bai's tone immediately became cold and cruel, and he didn't know how he found the flaw, and said angrily: "Who are you?" ”

Shangguan Li smiled and said: "I am your son-in-law, Uncle Zong actually asked so much." ”

Zong Bai was still staring at Shangguan Li, Shangguan Li pulled his face with a smile, slapped it a few more times, and said, "My face is genuine, does Uncle Zong need further identification?" ”

Zong Bai suddenly remembered something: "You-you-you-are the second son?" ”

Shangguan Li nodded and smiled.

"You-you're really the second son? Shangguan salute?! ”

Shangguan Li spread his hands and said with a smile: "Then you say, am I your son-in-law?" ”

Zong Bai was extremely embarrassed, bowed slightly, and saluted: "Zong Bai - Zong Bai visits the second son." ”

"Hahaha, no courtesy, Uncle Zong tortured me." Shangguan Li raised his hand in a dashing manner and helped Zong Bai up.

Zong Bai said: "Fang Cai Zong Bai is just-just-"

"I know, Uncle Zong is telling the truth. I didn't have time to identify myself, so Uncle Zong recognized the wrong person, it seems that Uncle Zong is going to say this to Brother Yan again - I will take you to see Brother Yan, and by the way, I will tell you about this coincidence. ”

Zong Bai nodded, and the two walked to the other side of the alley.

The footsteps disappeared in a flash, and Yan Sao let go of my arm, walked out of the small opening, and looked at the figures of the two in the distance, thoughtfully.

I immediately asked, "Yan Cuo, can you hear me?" ”

Yan Cuo ignored me, still looking thoughtfully into the distance.

Did you hear it? Or are you too lazy to pay attention to me? This Yan mistake is more difficult to approach than Song Ling's arrow.

After a while, Yan turned around and glared at me coldly: "What did the man with his back to me say just now?" ”

I was stunned: "Huh? ”

Anger flashed in his eyes, perhaps thinking I was laughing at his deaf ears - he still couldn't hear.

A hint of relief flashed in my heart, of course I hope that Yan Cuo will get well soon, but I don't want him to lie to me even if he is sick, I replied: "I don't remember much, it seems that Shangguan Yan dragged him to check some things, as for what it was, he didn't say it clearly, he only said a result, and basically didn't find it." ”

Yan Cuo crossed his arms and said in a deep voice: "They are all people in the court, official positions, and the whole collection is here, there must be a plan." ”

I couldn't help laughing, this younger brother, who was half a circle younger than me, was always so suspicious: "What can be the intention, they are from Lord Shangguan's family, and they should come to visit him." ”

Yan glanced at me and said, "What do you know about the woman?!" ”

I shut my mouth, in and out of this town, Yan Cuo would talk to me so fiercely.

"By the way, how do you know there's someone else? I didn't hear the footsteps, did I? "I'm curious.

Yan Cuo glared at me and said, "People who practice martial arts will naturally have voices that you can't hear, although I am deaf, I feel more than you blind people." ”

"Oh......"

He looked at me a few times and said, "I was about to go back, and you told me what the man just said." ”

This really tested me, I listened so much that I forgot most of it as soon as I turned around, but I didn't dare to refuse, for fear that he would think I was stupid, and that he would walk away disdainfully. So I pretended to be happy and nodded in agreement, frantically recalling what the brown cypress had just said.

I said to Yan Wrong as I understood, because he wanted to distinguish the shape of his lips, so he kept staring at me very seriously, sometimes frowning slightly to think about it, sometimes nodding slightly, I knew that he was matching my words with the words of Shangguan just now, but I still think this is a good attitude to chat.

I couldn't help but lose my mind when I looked at it, Yan Cuo does look very similar to my father, maybe in a few years, the bones and body will be more similar, his facial features are slightly softer than my father, there is the shadow of Ye Xin, Yan Cuo, those painful days have gone, as long as I am here, I will not let you suffer again, as long as you are willing to stay.

"Yan is wrong, I'm sorry." I stopped, feeling my eyes glaze.

Yan Cuo frowned, the calm and serene surface just now immediately turned back to coldness, he looked at me suspiciously, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood my father and your mother. You're right, your mother is the best woman in the world and deserves a better life. My father has always failed your mother despite all kinds of hardships. On behalf of my father, I will say sorry to you and your mother......" After that, I pulled Yan Cuo and bowed deeply to him.

Yan Cuo clenched his fists, so tight that the muscles and bones on it protruded.

"I admit that I am not as good as you think, I have hated my father, and I have also blamed your mother, thinking that I am the unfortunate one. I was wrong, for my ignorance - I don't expect us to be like ordinary brothers and sisters, I just want you to stay, give me a chance to make amends, give me a chance to repay you on my father's behalf, okay? ”

Yan Cuo's thick eyebrows were raised, and he glared at me and said, "It was you who eavesdropped outside just now, right?" ”

I bit my lip and nodded.

Yan Cuo sneered: "You are just a sick and weak person who doesn't know martial arts, how can you avoid the vigilance of Han and Song and eavesdrop outside-I thought I was wrong-it turns out that you are really not as simple as I imagined!" ”

I don't know how to explain it, Song Lingjian is a very sensitive person, she really didn't seem to notice that I was here, maybe the night sound secretly used a spell, but I couldn't confess the night sound, so I had to say: "...... I...... I don't know, I just happened to be over there......"

But this angered Yan Cuo, and he gritted his teeth and waved me away, "You don't have to explain so much to me, and you don't think that I'm still here because I forgave you - I'm just waiting for Hei Jun, waiting to catch the culprit who caused everything!" ”

I pulled Yan Cuo tightly, afraid that in the blink of an eye, he would go willful: "Don't-Uncle Hei, even if he has done anything, he is already suffering - revenge will not make everything better, it will only put you in a place of no return...... Yan Cuo, listen to me, stop being persistent. ”

Yan Cuo glared at me angrily: "Not attached? Because the one who died was not your mother! It's not the relatives who brought you up with hard work! Repay? How do you pay it back? Who will pay for my mother's life? Will you give me your mother's life?! ”

I was stunned, did Yan Cuo blame us for his mother's death? Wouldn't it be too blind?

Yan Cuo suddenly burst into tears, and on his resolute face, tears slipped clearly like the withering of his soul: "Do you know how my mother died?" She died so lonely, maybe in the end she was expecting the man who was not on her to come back, but she waited until the bones were cold and he didn't come back, what did she do wrong?! Why should she take the mistakes made by others? What did she do wrong, why did she end her life like that, why?! ”

My eyes widened—

Ye Xin, Yan Cuo's mother, committed suicide?!

"Y-your-she-"

Yes, she couldn't bear this life anymore, she chose to destroy herself - she survived so many painful days, holding back her tears, pretending to escape, and facing it with a smile, until there was nowhere to escape. The letter—those words he wanted to write to you, destroyed all her hopes and prejudices of self-righteousness—she had promised to make me a pot of porridge, and she would have delivered it exactly at the time of the unitary hour, but she broke her promise, and she cut her wrists with a medicine knife that cut medicine, and bled alone in the room and waited for death—my mother, she, died so cold, her blood and her heart were completely cold, and when she died, the two people who protected her life were not around......" Yan Cuo's voice was very gentle, The mother he wanted to protect with his life, for fear that one of his words would touch the rest of her soul.

My whole body trembled......

"The woman who sold the gold thread did the right thing, I didn't think of giving back to him in the way of others, that letter took away everything from my mother, and I should have used that letter to destroy you, but unfortunately those letters full of poison were intercepted before they reached your hands - Yan Fei, so many people want you to die, why don't you die? How many people's blood, tears, and pain have you bought your peace and happiness? Why can you regain your sight when you are blind, but I want to be deaf for the rest of my life, is it that we don't owe you enough to pay it back, and we have to be involved with you like a curse in this life! ”

I cried in a panic, not because of Yan Cuo's anger and curse, but because of Ye Xin's death, I have always felt that there is nothing weaker in this world than suicide, a person does not have the courage to live, and escapes everything with death and the grief of his family......

Ye Xin, you deal with so much pain with a smile, what made you give up?
