Chapter 44: What is Life?

Outside the courtyard of the Hou Mansion, the good news of the subordinates was heard.

"Childe just came back from the barracks! I'm coming to the front hall! ”

But in the blink of an eye, I saw a tall figure come to the front hall.

When I returned home, I changed into civilian clothes, and I was no longer in the cold and hard armor in the barracks.

After not seeing her son for many days, Mrs. Yu stepped forward and said with a kind smile: "Luo'er is back, these days must be hard outside!" ”

After that, the maid served a snack, and when she was about to ask a few more words, the old man also handed over his eyes at this time, because the old man has always been strict with his son, so he stopped talking and stopped asking for warmth.

"Luo'er, you have served the country at the border for more than three years, and you have already reached the age when you should marry a wife and have children, I look forward to you extending the incense for the Hou Mansion."

Family affairs are not allowed to be spread outside, and it is also related to the government and politics, so that the subordinates all retreated, and the old marquis Yu looked at his son, and his tone was slightly heavy.

"Today you are going home, and your mother and I are discussing your marriage with you."

Over the years, the two have respected each other like guests, and Mrs. Yu has always been in harmony with the master.

After repeated discussions in private, coupled with the pressure of the saint, the marriage was decided.

"The Holy Lord asked me to enter the palace before, with the intention of letting you marry the third princess, and the wedding period is seven days later, and you are tired of running around for the time of the assassin these days, so I will tell you now."

After saying these words, Old Marquis Yu calculated a major event in his heart.

Previously, Mrs. said that Luo'er already had a favorite woman, but he has always been motivated over the years, and he should also understand that being in charge of the family is very important to the rise and fall of the family's favor.

Who knew that before he could say this, he was immediately refuted: "Please take back your father's life!" I don't want to marry the princess as my wife, everyone in Kyoto knows that there is only the third lady of the Xiao family in my heart! ”

A cold response came from the seat, which shocked the hearts of the two elders in the upper seat.

Mo said that the old general Yu's face was pale, and his wife, who was never angry on weekdays, was so angry that she clenched the silk handkerchief tightly, and looked at her son angrily, her heart was full of confusion and disappointment.

"Luo'er, you are really confused, the Xiao family is not high, and now they have fallen into a big crime, then Miss Xiao will be the daughter of a criminal in the future! And the third princess is the difference between cloud and mud! What's in it if you insist on her! ”

I have never heard my mother talk so angrily, and I am used to my mother's gentle and soft words.

These words are sobering, and the parents and the heavy responsibilities of the family are so overwhelming.

But in order to pursue the beloved in your heart, you can't give up easily.

Yu Luohan pursed his lips, his eyes were extremely deep: "Please father and mother don't worry about my business, I will be in charge!" ”

had already planned before, and he would not sit idly by and watch the Xiao family fall into trouble.

It's just that the Xiao family's crime has not yet been implemented, and when the time is ripe, they will definitely go to the Xiao family to save people.

"It's presumptuous! I haven't breathed yet? And so thou hast disobeyed me? ”

Hearing his son's disobedience and unfilial words, Old Marquis Yu surged into his heart with a bad breath, and he almost broke out of breath again and again.

"Master, don't worry, if you have something to say, just talk to Lu'er slowly."

Mrs. Yu hurriedly went to smooth the old man's chest, and also carefully persuaded her, for fear that the discord between father and son would make the matter even more stiff.

"The Holy One is still holding on, waiting for Her Royal Highness the Princess to marry you, if you disobey the Holy Decree, it will be a great rebellion! It is to trap the Marquis Mansion in a place of injustice and disloyalty! ”

After calming down his breath, Old Marquis Yu covered his chest and straightened up, and shouted angrily in a stern tone.

Even if you have military merits! After all, he is Daqi's courtier!

"Admit your mistake to your father! Don't get obsessed! ”

When Mrs. Yu said this, she actually had some tears, how could she have thought that her son, who had always fought for the Hou Mansion, would not hesitate to argue with his parents for a woman.

"Forgive me, there is still something to do, my father and mother are at their own convenience."

No longer insisting on dwelling on this matter, Yu Luohan stood up directly, no longer looked at the two of them, and wanted to turn around and stride out of the front hall.

"Stop! What are you going to do? ”

Just as he took a step, Old Marquis Yu chased after him with anger on his face, and what he didn't want was his son's indulgent confession.

"I'll go to Xiao Mansion now and save Lan Xin and bring Lan Xin back to Hou Mansion."

Mrs. Yu was confused, and stepped forward to grab her son's arm and persuade her bitterly, according to the stubborn temperament of both father and son, if you don't turn around, it will only be out of control!

"Luo'er, you are careful about sexual maturity, I thought you were a calm and good boy, why are you so unclear about the matter of men and women!"

Old Marquis Yu was already furious, and immediately called the family into the front hall: "Before marrying the princess, don't you want to take half a step out of the Hou Mansion!" ”

"Come on, take Childe down to take care of it! If anyone is released, I will immediately throw him in the barracks and dispose of them according to military regulations! ”

In the evening, it rained heavily in the streets and alleys of Kyoto.

I saw a dense network of soldiers like ants breaking through the street and stopping outside the courtyard of the Xiao family's mansion.

"The Holy One has decreed! The Xiao family's crime of rebellion is unforgivable! Start to search your house immediately! ”

With the sound of a rumbling door, the door of the Xiao Mansion slammed open from the outside.

I saw several officials in red clothes enter the courtyard, holding the holy decree of the Ming and yellow silk cloth in their hands, and walked in front of the Xiao family to read it aloud, while the back was gloomy and cold, waving their sleeves and giving orders!

"Someone! Take Xiao Jingqi down first! Imprisoned! All the men of the Xiao family were exiled to the border, and the rest of the female dependents were reduced to cheap slaves! ”

Under this order, everyone in the Xiao family was in a mess, scattering as birds and beasts, but in exchange for a soldier killing him with a knife, and instantly his ears were filled with the sound of a woman screaming in terror!

Blood splattered all over the ground, Wu Shi sat on the ground and got up again, seeing the man beside him looking like a puppet, he grabbed his sleeve and asked loudly.

"How can it be the holy decree of the house? Sir, you're talking! ”

In exchange, there was a deathly silence, and not far away came the cry of the precious son.

"Mother save me! I don't want to die! ”

On the other side, the soldier had already put the big knife against his neck, and was huddled into a ball surrounded by the women of the Xiao Mansion, and he was about to be escorted down.

But at this time, Xiao Mansion strode into several palace attendants and blocked the soldiers' movements.

"Grown-ups, wait! My father-in-law brought another holy decree, please listen to the decree and dispose of it! ”

Several people entered the Xiao Mansion with the holy decree, and the person at the head was the father-in-law in the palace.

The people present stopped what they were doing, and the people in the Xiao family stretched their necks one by one, thinking that there would be a glimmer of life.

The officials who inspected the house looked at each other, apparently questioning the holy decree of the visitor.

"Father-in-law, isn't he mistaken? The saint has issued a death order, and quickly executed the Xiao family and others, when will there be a new will? ”

Hearing this, the father-in-law raised his head and snorted coldly: "A few adults just accept the order, and this will is specifically asked from the concubine to the saint!" Let my father-in-law hurry to the Xiao Mansion to read it! ”
