Chapter 24: Strength

Murong Xiaoxiao Lian moved lightly, and by the moonlight, she walked along the gravel road of the courtyard to the courtyard next to her, and Beichen followed her step by step.

After a long time, the two walked to the courtyard where Murong Yi lived.

Passing through the courtyard gate, stepping into a quiet courtyard, but meeting a simple and elegant house, the courtyard wall is made of blue bricks and stucco, the branches and leaves of the trees in the courtyard are exposed from the wall, under the moonlight, the shade of the trees is cast all over the ground, the wind blows the trees, and there is a sound.

There were several connected houses in the courtyard, one of which was glowing with a pale yellow glow.

"Daddy hasn't slept yet?" Murong Xiaoxiao looked at the glowing room, frowning lightly and wondering.

The two of them walked lightly to the outside of the glowing room. Murong Xiaoxiaoyu raised her hand lightly, and was just about to knock on the door, when suddenly, a voice came from inside the room.

"Rou'er, fifteen years ago, are you okay? Our daughters have grown up, and she and you are like carved out of the same mold, not only with similar faces, but also with similar personalities...... It's a pity you can't see it!

When the people of that family came to the door, they were beyond imagination, and in the face of them, I was like a weak ant, and I couldn't give birth to the slightest resistance.

In order to save my and Xiaoxiao's lives, you are willing to be captured and leave with them, but I can only watch as you are captured, and there is no other way than to cry.

I know that my talent is not able to compete with that family even if I cultivate for a lifetime, I can't bring you back from that family, and I can't reunite our family......

When you left, let me take good care of Xiaoxiao, but because of the family relationship, I didn't spare too much time to accompany Xiaoxiao to grow up, so that she spent her childhood in loneliness. Ke Xiaoxiao is very sensible and has never complained about my incompetent father.

Now I don't know anyone, I have been framed by traitors, and I have cold poison in my body, and my days are numbered...... I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that after death, Xiaoxiao can only live alone in the world, sad alone......

Alas...... Rou'er, it would be great if you could come back and take Xiaoxiao away!"

Listening to the words coming from the room, Murong Xiaoxiao suddenly felt like being struck by lightning, and the whole person was stunned, and the hand knocking on the door stopped in the air.

What does Uncle Murong mean? Didn't Xiaoxiao's mother die of dystocia when she gave birth to Xiaoxiao?

But what Uncle Murong said just now meant was that Xiaoxiao's mother was actually still alive, but she was captured by a powerful family.

"Xiaoxiao......" Beichen stood behind Murong Xiaoxiao, looking at her slightly shrugged shoulders, wanting to comfort her.

"Wow!"

Before Beichen's words could be finished, Murong Xiaoxiao suddenly reached out and pushed the door open, and then, she hurriedly stepped into the room.

The sound of opening the door woke up Murong Yi in his memory, he turned his head in response, his eyes fell to the door of the room, and he was suddenly surprised: "Xiaoxiao, you ...... Why are you here?"

Of course, Beichen knew what he happened to hear just now, how much impact it had on Murong Xiaoxiao, sighed lightly, shook his head, and followed Murong Xiaoxiao's steps and stepped into the room.

As you enter the room, the glow of the luminous stone illuminates the room, and a middle-aged man sits on a stool at a round table in the center of the room.

The middle-aged man looks to be more than thirty years old, he is burly, strong, handsome face looks cold and handsome, the clear and distinct face lines, giving people a three-dimensional feeling like a knife and axe, the eyebrow bone protrusion, with two raised thick eyebrows, reflecting the majesty of a superior person.

However, at this time, his face was slightly pale, with a bit of sickness on his face that was difficult to hide, and his slightly reddened eyes flashed with deep sorrow.

"Little ...... Xiaochen, you ...... Aren't you dead?"

Before Murong Xiaoxiao, who stepped into the room first, could speak, Beichen stood beside Murong Xiaoxiao, his eyes fell on Murong Yi at the door, and looked at the black-clothed young man who entered the room later, and the look of surprise in his eyes was even worse.

"Hey...... Uncle Murong, this matter is a long story, and I will tell you more about it later. Beichen touched his nose, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile.

The reason why he said this was because he knew that Murong Xiaoxiao was about to ask!

Sure enough, as soon as Beichen's words fell, Murong Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes were full of tears, and he asked with a faint cry: "Daddy, is what you just said true, my mother is not dead at all, she is still alive, right?"

Murong Yi, who was sitting on the stool, couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, he was a little stunned: "You all heard what I said just now?"

"Hmm......" Beichen nodded and said slowly: "Xiaoxiao and I came to your courtyard and saw that the light in your room was not extinguished, so we guessed that you might not have fallen asleep, so we were about to knock on the door, but just when I was about to knock on the door, there was a sound in your room, out of curiosity, so we ...... Hee-hee......"

"Uncle Murong, since Xiaoxiao has already heard it, you can tell the truth!" Beichen persuaded.

"But ......"

Before Murong Yi's words were finished, Beichen interrupted: "Uncle Murong, don't do it, Xiaoxiao has grown up now and has the right to know the truth, if you insist on hiding it from her, it will be unfair to Xiaoxiao." ”

"Daddy......" Murong Xiaoxiao also spoke out on the side, begging bitterly.

"Alas......" After Murong Yi was entangled for a while, he sighed lightly and said: "Originally, I planned to bring this secret to the grave, but Xiao Chen is right, Xiaoxiao has grown up, and should know the truth of the matter......"

Beichen stretched out his hand to close the open door, and then walked to Murong Yi with Murong Xiaoxiao, and sat on the stool, ready to listen carefully to the story that Murong Yi was going to tell next......

"It was the summer of seventeen years ago, in order to improve my strength, I went to the Demon Spirit Mountain Range to train, and on the way back from the experience, I met Xiaoxiao's mother on a grass on the periphery of the Demon Spirit Mountain Range.

At that time, she was covered in blood and fell into a coma, I saw that she was still breathing, so I rescued her and took her back to Murong's house for treatment, and a few days later, although she woke up, she lost her past memory.

A month later, she healed from her injuries, but her memories still did not recover, and her strength did not recover.

Xiaoxiao's mother is a peerless woman, she has lost her memory, and she has no strength, if she is allowed to leave the Murong family, she will definitely encounter accidents, so I will let her stay in the Murong family and recuperate, and it will not be too late to leave when she recovers her memory and strength, she thought about it and agreed.

She knew that I rescued her and had been taking good care of her, so she was very grateful to me, and she only communicated with me in the Murong family, and a year passed slowly, we got along day and night, and had feelings for each other, and then we got married in the Murong family, and then she was pregnant with Xiaoxiao.

When she was pregnant with Xiaoxiao, she told me that in fact, she had recovered all her memories before we got married, but she didn't want to remember the past, she just wanted to live an ordinary life like this.

Out of curiosity, I asked again and again, and later she told her where she came from.

Her name is Dugu Rou, and she is the eldest lady of a big family in the Eastern Xuan Domain, because she didn't want to be a victim of the family marriage, she married someone she hadn't even met in person, so she took the opportunity to escape from the family.

After Xiaoxiao was born, I thought that our family could live an ordinary and happy life, but it backfired, and on the third day after Xiaoxiao was born, people from her family came to the door.

The people who come to the door, everyone can walk in the sky, and the strength is unimaginable. When the people of that family heard that Xiaoxiao's mother had married me and gave birth to Xiaoxiao, the other party was very angry and was ready to kill our father and daughter and set foot on the Murong family again.

But Xiaoxiao's mother begged and even threatened her life in order to protect our father and daughter, and in the end, the family had no choice but to agree to her request.

Before Xiaoxiao's mother left, she said that if she was arrested, she would only be grounded forever and would not be in danger of her life, but she just told me to take good care of Xiaoxiao.

I knew that I would never be able to see her again, and that a long pain was better than a short pain, so I made up a lie about Xiaoxiao's mother dying in childbirth. Due to the deterrence of that family, the people of the Murong family did not dare to mention the matter of Xiaoxiao's mother-in-law at all. ”

Murong Yi told the truth of the matter, and tears flowed out unconsciously while he finished speaking.

From Murong's reddened eyes, Beichen saw a thick anger, unwillingness, and helplessness.

"Woo ......"

As soon as Murong Yi's words fell, Murong Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back her tears any longer, the crystal in the corner of her eyes gushed out like a flood bursting its banks, and she couldn't stop it, Beichen suddenly reached out and hugged her in his arms, letting her lie in his arms and cry loudly, the aggrieved and sad cries echoed softly in this silent room, and they didn't go away for a long time......

After a long time, Murong Xiaoxiao finally stopped crying, and at the same time, this had to make Beichen sigh, women are made of water, this sentence is really not wrong!

"Daddy, why did they arrest their mother, and why did they break up our family?" Murong raised his head, his eyes were red, and he sobbed softly.

"Alas......" Murong Yi sighed helplessly, and said slowly in a bitter tone: "Because of strength...... Because I didn't have the strength to fight that family, and I didn't have the strength to protect your mother and daughter......"

"Strength?" Murong Xiaoxiao clenched her small fists and murmured softly, like a mosquito sound.

The helplessness and unwillingness in Murong Yi's eyes deeply pierced Murong Xiaoxiao's fragile heart, making her full of unprecedented desire for strength for the first time, and at this moment, a purple arc of electricity crossed Murong Xiaoxiao's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash!
