Chapter 16: The Past Days

"It's not good to stay here, let's leave first."

Xuan Niang will definitely not give up, just in case, Yu Yaozhi thought of a reliable place to go.

"Hey! Isn't it Yu Miaozhi, you take your husband who robbed me, and a dirty beggar, and you want to come to live with me for a long time? ”

Jiang Xueyan couldn't have thought it was incredible, how could anyone be so cheeky!

"Aren't you cornered, you're my good sister! We had a very speculative conversation that night! ”

As he spoke, he rushed in without saying a word.

In the end, it is still the home of the mountain lord of Jiang Mingshan, and there are dozens of acres of land, which is very bright.

"Yu Miao's you!"

Although the two of them didn't have a very pleasant quarrel before, they actually knew in their hearts that they were not bad people, and Yu Yaozhi didn't have anyone he trusted at the moment, so he had to come to Jiang Xueyan.

"Excuse me."

Xie Lanzhou recalled the picture of being tied up here by Jiang Xueyan that day, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect that he would actually come back here.

"Xie Lang, you didn't come here with her because you wanted to see me, in fact, as long as you want, I..."

As he spoke, he grabbed Xie Lanzhou's forearm, and his head was about to rest on his shoulder.

This is the Lang Jun I personally fancied.

"Miss Jiang, please respect yourself, she is already a married man now. It's not in accordance with the rules. ”

Xie Lanzhou hurriedly pushed it away, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, how could this follow up the thief's den.

Fang Huai, who followed behind, lowered his head, and the proud young man in the past was said to be a dirty homeless man today, which was really regrettable.

But since he really didn't have a place to go, he followed.

Jiang Xueyan vacated the room for the three of them, and also explained to his subordinates to keep the matter secret.

In the evening.

Yu Yaozhi was still preoccupied, she wanted to know what was going on, it was very important to her, so she went to find Fang Huai.

"I know you're Brother Fang Huai, I won't admit my mistake."

Fang Huai was leaning against a tree, looking up at the sky blankly.

"What am I and what am not, now things are different."

I saw Fang Huai snort coldly and said, with self-mockery in his words.

The night is like water, and the moon is bright and clean.

A bright moon hangs high in the night sky, reflected vertically on the water of a pond, the water surface is as smooth as a mirror, the night breeze blows, sparkling, shining like broken silver, forming a symmetrical ink painting, which makes people feel intoxicated.

"I just want to know the truth."

Yu Yaozhi's tone was resolute, Fang Huai glanced up at her and sighed.

Back then, His Majesty, the head of the Fang family, Xie Lanzhou's father, the former emperor of the year, involved many cases of border smuggling.

The former emperor was also a little hesitant, after all, the minister is like the foundation of a big tree, if it is really involved, the country will not be chaotic.

But the head of the Fang family was benevolent and righteous, and he saw that many ordinary people were living on the streets because of the smuggling of those eunuchs, so he couldn't bear it, so he threatened the head of Xiang Shang, and implored His Majesty to order these ministers to be dealt with one by one.

After that, few people in the court went to court, and coupled with the strict system of electing officials, state affairs were a little chaotic for a while.

There are very few people who play, but the suffering of the common people is getting worse.

And the Fang family also offended a lot of powerful people because of this.

One night, the three members of the Fang family were taking a boat to Suzhou, but they were attacked.

Hundreds of swordsmen from the Fang family dyed the entire lake red overnight.

Fang Huai's parents also desperately threw Fang Huai into the water in order to keep the Fang family, and only then did they get their lives back.

Fang Huai still can't forget that night back then, as if the moon was not bright white, but bright red stained with blood.

Both parents were slit by the swordsman in front of his eyes, but he could only hide under the boat and did not dare to make a sound until dawn, when he was sure that the killers were gone.

The news of the Fang family's destruction overnight spread throughout the capital, and the emperor felt that it must be the cause of the smuggling case back then, and even felt that it was his own fault.

For the first time, the emperor felt so powerless, and he lost a minister who was loyal and dedicated to the people, so he had the intention of abdicating.

Fang Huai didn't dare to speak out after he escaped, he also guessed that it must be the reason for the smuggling case back then, and he didn't dare to take refuge with anyone.

He was also afraid that others would recognize him, so he wrapped his face with bandages.

Holding on to the blue snow sword left by his parents before his death, he begged in an inconspicuous place on the street.

I had been hungry for a long time that day, and if it weren't for the buns Xie Lanzhou gave me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on now.

Yu Jiaozhi couldn't help but feel cold when he heard it, if he was known by someone with a heart, he would definitely come to take Fang Huai's life.

"I remember that back then, you were kicked out of the house with your aunt, why didn't you see your aunt?"

Fang Huai heard her mother say when she was alive that Yu Shen had driven their mother and daughter out of the house that year.

Everyone in the world said that Yu Shen was ruthless and unrighteous, so much so that he was later dismissed, and many people said that he deserved it.

When it comes to his mother-in-law, Yu Yaozhi's heart is as painful as a knife.

When Yu Yaozhi and Shen first came to the countryside, they could be said to have suffered a lot.

Although the news in the countryside is closed, the fact that the mother and daughter were swept out of the house can be said to be spread from one to the other, pointing fingers at them.

Because food and clothing need money, so Shen went to help others with laundry, Yu Yaozhi was young at the time, but he could also see that his mother was powerless.

The Shen family, who was already weak, finally failed to survive a cold winter.

I remember that next to the stove, when Shen's life was dying, Yu Yaozhi pulled the doctor who went to the city to find him, but the doctor shook his head and said that he was powerless.

At that time, it was the most desperate time for Yu Yaozhi.

"Don't cry, mother, I just want to sleep for a long, long night, after my mother sleeps, you go to your father and beg him to accept you, if not, you will go to the Fang family's sister..."

Shen's face was pale, and it was already difficult to say a word, and the only thing she couldn't worry about was her daughter.

Who would have thought that the marriage that he wanted to pursue despite everything back then would end up being such a field, if he did it again, he would rather never see Yu Shen.

"Mother, don't talk Mother, I know... Please, don't sleep..."

Yu Yaozhi knelt on the side of the bed, begging bitterly, she didn't know why fate was so unfair.

Why are some people born with worry-free food and clothing, smooth sailing, is the center of the world, but some people are ants for a lifetime, and their lives are never worth mentioning.

"Auntie, no matter what, you have to live..."

With that, he swallowed his last breath.

Yu Yaozhi's heart-rending cry still failed to keep Shen, and the temperature in his hand gradually cooled.

She finally slept peacefully in that cold winter and never woke up again.
