An hour later, the two horses and three men had reached the hut. In order to avoid Han Xiang being scolded, the three of them got off the horse early and let Han Xiang go home first, while Shen Lingshan and Ren Si quietly sneaked outside the hut to wait.

After touching a stick of incense, Shen Lingshan couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up and ran into the house, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Big brother, where are you?"

Han Xiang had already secretly told Chen Wenqi the news of the arrival of Shen Lingshan and others, but despite this, as soon as he heard Shen Lingshan's voice, Chen Wenqi was still very excited, and hurriedly responded: "Brother Xian, I'm here." ”

Shen Lingshan threw herself on Chen Wenqi's bedside, and saw that Chen Wenqi was scarred and pale, so she couldn't help but burst into tears, and said to Chen Wenqi with sobs: "Big brother, you have suffered. ”

Chen Wenqi was about to comfort her a few words, when he suddenly saw Ren Si standing outside the door, and hurriedly greeted: "Senior Brother Ren is also here, please come into the house." ”

Ren Si was about to cross the threshold, when he suddenly heard a scolding: "Who is so bold and uninvited late at night?" As soon as the words fell, a white-haired mother-in-law stood in the room.

"Mother-in-law, don't blame, this is the younger brother Yang Shanling below, and the senior brother Ren Si below. Chen Wenqi hurriedly introduced.

"Hmph, it's obviously a girl, how did she become a righteous brother?" Without waiting for Chen Wenqi to explain, he continued: "Liu Mufeng is very good, and he also accepted two apprentices?"

"No, Senior Brother Ren is my uncle's apprentice. Chen Wenqi explained.

The white-haired mother-in-law looked at Ren Si carefully, and said in disbelief: "Your uncle's apprentice?

"What kind of apprentice does my master have that you don't bother, right?" Ren Si was a little unhappy when she saw her "despising" herself so much, but Chen Wenqi was recuperating here, and he was not easy to attack, so he sneered.

"Yes, what kind of mind am I fooling around? Your master's virtue, what kind of apprentice does he accept and what does it have to do with me?" The white-haired mother-in-law blamed herself openly and secretly scolded him for his master's bad character.

How can Ren Si tolerate "others" insulting the master? Immediately retaliated: "A person who accuses others for no reason must not be much better in virtue." ”

Chen Wenqi slept on the bed and could hear clearly, and he had vaguely guessed the identity of the white-haired mother-in-law. At this time, seeing Ren Si and the white-haired mother-in-law choking, and was about to persuade, someone spoke outside the door.

"Ren...... Brother Ren, don't ......" Hanxiang's voice. Tonight, Han Xiang and Ren Si rode together, although they deliberately kept their distance, but the horse was bumped and tumped in the run, and the body still inevitably collided and rubbed, which made Han Xiang so hot and heartbeat, that after getting off the horse, the two of them did not dare to look at each other. After Ren Si entered the house, Han Xiang was even more ashamed and didn't dare to show up. Seeing that Ren Si was about to have a conflict with her mother-in-law, she hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

"Xiang'er, come in. The white-haired mother-in-law shouted.

"Mother-in-law. Xiang'er had a bad premonition and walked into the room timidly.

The white-haired mother-in-law pointed at Ren Si and asked Han Xiang, "What do you call him? Brother Ren?

"Mother-in-law, I ......" Hanxiang was speechless.

"Well, you brought them back, kneel for me!" exclaimed the white-haired mother-in-law.

"We're here quietly, and it's not about Miss Hanxiang. As soon as Ren Si saw Hanxiang being punished, he hurriedly defended her.

"Oh, you kid still know her name is Hanxiang, it looks like you've been ......hooked up for a long time," the white-haired mother-in-law knew that it was too ugly, so she kept silent.

Ren Sisheng was afraid that the white-haired mother-in-law would say ugly words and make Han Xiang humiliated, so he hurriedly interrupted the white-haired mother-in-law: "Don't be disrespectful to the old." If it weren't for your age and the fact that you saved Senior Brother Chen's life, I would ......"

"What about you?" the white-haired mother-in-law left Hanxiang and came to Ren Si.

"I ......" Ren Si was about to have a seizure, Han Xiang hurriedly walked to his side and quietly tugged at his sleeve.

Ren Si saw Han Xiang Chu Chu looking at him pitifully, and couldn't help but soften his heart, and he couldn't make a sound for a while.

How do you know that this is self-defeating, the white-haired mother-in-law saw Han Xiang hinting at Ren Si, and immediately became angry, pointed at Han Xiang's nose and scolded: "Okay, you little girl, it's only been out for half a day, so I'll ...... with him."

Ren Si intercepted and said: "Mother-in-law, please respect yourself, otherwise you will blame the old man for bullying him." ”

"You dare?"

"Why don't you dare?"

When the tension was tense, a loud shout outside the door: "Senior brother must not be rude." ”

The figure flashed, Li Yuan stepped into the room, turned over and knelt down in front of the white-haired mother-in-law, and shouted: "Senior brother, don't kneel yet?"

"Why kneel her?" Ren Siwu stood upright.

"Bold, don't you even listen to your brother's words?" Li Yuan said angrily.

Ren Si had never seen his senior brother lose his temper with him, and although he was not convinced, his knees were still weak, and he knelt side by side with Li Yuan in front of his white-haired mother-in-law.

Shen Lingshan and Han Xiang were stunned by the scene in front of them, not knowing what was going to happen. However, Chen Wenqi knew it in his heart, and it seemed that his previous guess was good.

"Li Yuan, what are you doing here?" The white-haired mother-in-law was obviously very familiar with Li Yuan, and her anger was much less, but she was still a little aggressive.

Li Yuan knocked his head on the ground, his eyes were full of tears, and he whimpered and said, "Master, your old man is here? Over the years, you have made it easy for our master and apprentice to find it." ”

Ren Si, Han Xiang and Shen Lingshan were taken aback, especially Ren Si, their brains "boomed", and they almost wanted to dig a hole into it.

The white-haired mother-in-law sneered and said resentfully: "Looking for me? He has been gone for a few months, not looking for a companion...... Is that little girl gone?

"Master, you are wrong to blame Master. Back then, ......" Li Yuan tearfully told the white-haired mother-in-law what happened.

This matter starts with the white-haired mother-in-law's father: the white-haired mother-in-law's father's surname is Zhu Tiankui, and in his later years, he called himself "Zhongnan Laosuo", and was a well-known figure in the martial arts eighty years ago. Zhu Tiankui is knowledgeable in martial arts, and all kinds of strange skills such as knives, swords, fists, and palms are all masterable, and they are all deep and refined, and everything can be called stunts. Despite this, Zhu Tiankui is a humble and righteous person, happy to live in poverty, and never bullies others. When he was not confused, his wife Wang gave birth to a daughter for him, named Evian (white-haired mother-in-law). When Evian was one year old, they threw a feast and invited relatives and friends to celebrate together. After the banquet, Zhu Tiankui sent the guests to the outside of the village one by one, and on the way back, he occasionally saw a small basket on the side of the road, and the faint cry of a baby came from the basket. Zhu Tiankui took pity on the baby and was cold and hungry, so he took it home and let his wife breastfeed. When the couple looked at their daughter Evian and the abandoned baby again, they couldn't help but sigh a lot: the same little life, but such a different fate, one was cared for by his parents in every way, and the other was ruthlessly abandoned by his parents. Mrs. Wang wept while breastfeeding, and muttered: "Child, eat a few more bites, you are full, and I don't know when the next meal will be available." Zhu Tiankui was uncomfortable listening and said to Mrs. Wang: "Madam, it's hard to say whether this child has a next meal." Otherwise, Mrs. will work harder, and keep this hard-working child to raise with Yi'er?" Wang Shixi said: "I have already had this intention, but I am afraid that you will not want to do it, husband." The couple hit it off, and named the little girl Banyun, which means that she will grow up together with her daughter. Since then, Zhu Tiankui and his wife have regarded the companion cloud as their own, no, even more doting than the "self-out" Evian. Banyun was abandoned when she was born, because she was starved by cold and weak, Zhu Tiankui and his wife took special care of her, good food and clothing must give priority to Banyun, and occasional quarrels between sisters always protect Banyun. Over time, Evian doubted whether he was born to his father, and he even had a dislike with his sister Banyun, but because of his parents' "cover", they finally got along with each other.

Looking at the age, Zhu Tiankui didn't want to lose his school, but he didn't want his two daughters to fight and kill all day long, so he found two young children to be accepted as disciples in one go, which is Yang Xianyu and Liu Mufeng. Suddenly, ten years have passed, Yang Xianyu and Liu Mufeng have learned two top kung fu skills, "Cold Ice Palm", "Proud Bamboo Piercing Cloud Sword", "Flame Palm", and "Weeping Willow Dancing Wind Sword". At the same time, the sisters Zhu Yiyun and Zhu Banyun are also like flowers and jade, beautiful and refined. The four of them are childhood sweethearts, and they have been in love for a long time, and Zhu Tiankui and his wife see it in their eyes and are happy in their hearts. After the two couples asked the four of them about their thoughts, they chose an auspicious day and solemnly held the "departure ceremony" of the two brothers and the "wedding ceremony" of the two couples.

The life after marriage is naturally one of love and happiness between husband and wife. But within a few years, the originally harmonious family had no wind and waves, and even almost turned against each other. It turned out that after the death of Zhu Tiankui and his wife, Yang Xianyu, as the "eldest son-in-law", took the initiative to play the role of "parent" and did not let his younger brothers and sisters worry about life. Especially for the little sister (i.e., the little sister-in-law), Yang Xianyu followed the teachings of the master when he was dying, remembering her miserable life and delicate body, and took special care of her. Although Zhu Yiyun is a dignified, virtuous, kind and generous woman, she has lived in an environment where her parents have preferred her "sister" since she was a child, and she always has a little "grievance" in her heart. Now his husband is "in charge", and he still "does things by himself, and the blessing is enjoyed by his sister", and he can't help but resentment because of grievances, and there are often some quarrels between husband and wife in private. Yang Xianyu understands his wife's "grievances", so whenever Zhu Yiyun quarrels with him, he always silently endures, hoping that his wife will use this to dissipate some resentment. But the more Yang Xianyu didn't defend himself, the more Zhu Yiyun thought that her husband was partial to Zhu Banyun and didn't care about herself, and then she intensified her accusations. Yang Xianyu realized that in the long run, it must be the husband and wife and the family who turned against each other, and in desperation, he made a painful decision: to send the junior and brother-in-law back to Jiangnan. However, after sending away his junior brother and younger sister, Yang Xianyu not only did not get liberated, but felt extremely guilty, feeling that he had not fulfilled the responsibility of "eldest brother", sorry for his junior brother and sister, and even more sorry for the spirit of the master and the mother in the sky. So, he often used the excuse of going out to meet friends, and went south to Huguang to go to his junior brother's house to ask for warmth, and did his best to make up for his "failure to take responsibility". As a result, they came and went, and Zhu Yiyun noticed it, and there was a lot of anger between the husband and wife. As his younger brother Liu Mufeng gradually laid a solid foundation in Jiangnan, and at the same time felt that he had indeed been ashamed of his beloved wife over the years, Yang Xianyu resolutely decided not to travel far from now on, and stayed with his wife Zhu Yiyun for a long time, and the husband and wife finally reconciled as before. Of course, since then, the brothers have also forgotten each other.

Until one day, the rivers and lakes, which have been calm, were stirred up by a demon called "Lingnan Old Monster". With the acquiescence of the "Lingnan Old Monsters," the eight apprentices of the "Lingnan Old Monsters" called themselves the "Eight Heroes of Lingnan" and boasted of their high martial arts, and with the acquiescence of the "Lingnan Old Monsters," they fought all the way from Lingnan to the north, fighting against all sects and factions along the way, and slaughtering the defeated regardless of whether they had hatred or not. For a time, everyone on the rivers and lakes was in danger, and every household in the market was frightened.

At this time, Yang Xianyu's brothers were called "Ice and Fire" in the rivers and lakes, and they had a very high reputation, so several major sects coincidentally contacted them and asked them to uphold justice and jointly exterminate the scum of martial arts.

Yang Xianyu knew that this trip was very dangerous, so he quietly left home without telling his wife, and repeatedly instructed his disciple Li Yuan before leaving, not to tell the truth to his wife, so as not to make her afraid.

In the first few days, when she learned that her husband was "meeting friends in this county" (Li Yuan told her), Zhu Yiyun didn't care, and it wasn't until more than a month that she still didn't see her husband return home, so she became suspicious. Zhu Yiyun called Li Yuan and told him to tell the truth, otherwise the "family law" would serve. Li Yuan didn't dare to disobey his master's orders, gritted his teeth and didn't tell the truth, he would rather suffer from his own flesh and skin than let his master worry about his master. But Li Yuan was not used to lying, and he was full of flaws when answering his master's question, which made Zhu Yiyun firmly believe that her husband had gone to Jiangnan. Thinking that he was not liked by his father and mother since he was a child, and he could not be loved if he married ** (these are Zhu Yiyun's own thoughts), Zhu Yiyun was disheartened, and left his home where he had lived for more than 30 years alone on a stormy morning......

"Not long after the master left home, the master rushed home in high spirits, and before she could enter the door, she shouted loudly, 'Senior sister, I am back. I went to deal with a big devil this time, I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell you, you won't be angry, right?' After calling for a long time and no one answered, I realized that the house was empty. On the fourth day, he called me into his room and said to me, "Yuan'er, you are also twenty years old, and you have learned about martial arts, but all you lack is experience. 'I know Master's thoughts, I don't want to think about it, so I packed my bags and followed Master out of the door......" Speaking of this, Li Yuan couldn't cry.

The white-haired mother-in-law - Zhu Yiyun - her eyes were slightly red, and there were faint crystal tears in the corners of her eyes. I regretted it in my heart, and my mouth was still tough: "Hmph, if I leave, won't he become more and more free? From now on, no one cares about Jiangnan and Jiangbei letting him come and go." ”

Although Chen Wenqi, who was sleeping on the bed, couldn't see Zhu Yiyun's expression, he knew that she was already guilty in her heart, but she couldn't turn around for a while, and it was time to move a ladder for her. So he jokingly said: "Aunt Shi, please forgive my nephew for being unable to move, otherwise I will kneel and kowtow in front of your old man like Senior Brother Li and them." ”

Zhu Yiyun is such a smart person, she knows that Chen Wenqi has something to say. smiled and scolded at the moment: "It's not uncommon for you kid to kneel to me." Li Yuan, get up. ”

"Master, I'll ...... apprentice" Ren Sijian didn't call him, so he didn't stand or kneel.

"You?" Zhu Yiyun said coldly: "I'm not your master, you can kneel if you like to kneel, and you can stand if you love to stand." ”

Saying this, Ren Si didn't dare to get up more and more.

"Master, those who don't know are not guilty, my junior brother has offended my master, and I will kowtow to your old man on his behalf. Your old man doesn't care about the villain, so spare him this time. Otherwise, I'll just kneel with my junior brother?"

Zhu Yiyun feigned anger and said: "You want to blackmail the master? Okay, if you love to accompany you, you will accompany you." After speaking, he couldn't help but laugh "poof": "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Master. ”

"Congratulations seniors, we will be reunited with our family soon. At this time, a person walked in from outside the door and saluted Zhu Yiyun.

"You are?"

"General Qin, why are you here too?" Chen Wenqi saw that it was Qin Sen, and hurriedly shouted.

"General Chen, are you okay? General Xia ordered me to pick you up. Qin Sen asked with concern.

"I'm fine. General Lao and General Xia were worried. Chen Wenqi said movingly.

"It should. Qin Sen said politely, and then said: "I brought a carriage, this place is not far from Phoenix City, why don't we rush back to Phoenix City overnight?"

Chen Wenqi thought for a while and said noncommittally: "I want to say a few words to my aunt alone." ”

"Okay, let's go over there. Qin Sen said, and waited in another room with Li Yuan and the others.

"Senior Aunt, you said that you would let my nephew and nephew leave only when my senior aunt came here, so I didn't answer General Qin just now. Whether the nephew can leave here or not depends on the words of the aunt and uncle. ”

"That's just an angry sentence, she's her, you're you, if you want to go, I won't stop you. Zhu Yiyun said.

Chen Wenqi knew that she would agree to leave by herself, but she just used this to lead the topic to Shi Niang, and he wanted to tell Zhu Yiyun the truth to eliminate her grudge against Shi Niang.

"After listening to Senior Brother Li's words today, my nephew feels that my aunt has indeed suffered a lot of grievances over the years, and she has paid too much for my master and mother, and it is completely understandable that my aunt is a little resentful of my sister. ”

As soon as she heard Chen Wenqi's words, Zhu Yiyun was in tears. For decades, no one knows how they feel, and no one understands their feelings, and today someone finally puts herself in her shoes, although she is a junior, her heart is suddenly much more relaxed.

Zhu Yiyun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said sincerely: "It's been decades, don't say it." I also blame me for being too narrow-minded and shouldn't be angry with my sister. ”

In fact, the master has never complained to the aunt. She has mentioned her aunt many times, and she feels that she owes her a lot of aunt, and sometimes she sheds tears when she talks about it, saying that the person she is most sorry for in her life is her sister, and her sister has always let her let her since she was a child, but she never knew that she felt sorry for her sister, nor did she cherish her sister's benefits to herself. ”

She ...... Do you really say that?"

"How dare my nephew deceive my aunt?" Chen Wenqi continued: "My master has said this many times, which makes me very puzzled: Why is this so? One day, when my master was happy, I wanted to verify whether what my master said was true. As a result, Master's words surprised me. ”

"What's that?"

Master said, "That's true. Since Shigong, everyone has been very partial to your master, and has invisibly snubbed your aunt. I asked what was the reason for this? Master said, because your aunt and uncle are your master's biological flesh and blood, and your master is an unfortunate abandoned baby......

"What? You said your sister was...... Isn't it my father's own?" Zhu Yiyun was taken aback.

Chen Wenqi nodded and said, "That's what Master said at the time. When my master was dying, he once said to my master and uncle: 'Banyun's life is miserable, and our biological parents are not in pain or support, so we must give her more love.' I know that Evian is a little wronged by this, but after all, she has a biological father, and no matter what, her father still loves her in her heart. After I die, you must take care of Banyun as much as Master and Master did when they were alive, and don't let her suffer any more. As for Evian, I'm sure one day, she'll understand, and I know that this kid has a very kind heart." ”

"Don't kiss your own relatives, don't have only your son", father, mother, daughter is wrong to blame you. Zhu Yiyun was greatly shocked, and today she finally understands why her father and husband love her sister so much. She remembered the scene when she adopted Han Xiang, and suddenly felt that her sister's fate was really miserable, and she had never really cared for and cared for her. Thinking of this, my heart was full of remorse, and I just wanted to cry.

She didn't want to lose her temper in front of her juniors, so she hurriedly shouted "Xiang'er".

Han Xiang came in and saw her with teary eyes, and she didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly asked in a trembling voice, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. Go, help your mother-in-law bring the herbs, and your mother-in-law will ...... for you The junior brother took a few pairs of medicine back with him. ”

"My junior brother? I also have a junior brother? Ouch-" Han Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then understood who it was referring to, her face flushed with joy, and she hurriedly pulled Shen Lingshan to take the herb.

Qin Sen understood that Zhu Yiyun agreed to let Chen Wenqi go, so he said: "Senior Zhu, thanks to you for saving General Chen's life this time, General Xia specially asked the last general to convey his thanks to you. ”

Zhu Yiyun was a little embarrassed at this time, waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite, general, the old body is just a good time to meet and raise your hands." Besides, he is also the nephew of the clumsy husband, so it is natural to treat him. ”

Qin Sen nodded and smiled, expressing his agreement with her words, and then said: "There will be a reluctant request from the end, this place is too remote, can you move to Phoenix City before the seniors go home?"

"This ......" As soon as Zhu Yiyun's heart knot opened, she felt that over the years, she was sorry for her husband Yang Xianyu and sister Zhu Banyun, and she planned to return home as soon as possible and spend the rest of her life with her husband. If she has the opportunity, she also wants her husband to take her to Jiangnan and have a good reunion with her sister. But women have always been reserved, and when they ran away in a negative mood, they went back by themselves, and their faces were inevitably a little unsightly.

Just as he didn't know how to answer, Li Yuan said at this time: "Thank you General Qin for your warm invitation." But I haven't seen my master for decades, I want to ask my mother to go home tomorrow, I don't know what my mother thinks?"

Zhu Yiyun was secretly happy, thinking that I didn't hurt this apprentice in vain, and he "insisted" on inviting me back, which also saved others from making irresponsible remarks. was about to nod in agreement, but Ren Si jumped out to object: "No, Shi Niang can't go back now." ”

When Zhu Yiyun heard this, he immediately hated it, why is this kid against me everywhere?

Li Yuan glared and said, "Why can't you go back?"

Ren Si smiled and said: "How faceless is it for my sister to go back by herself? Why don't you stay like this, I will stay and take care of my sister, senior brother, you will quickly go back to report the news, and let the master come to pick up the master in person, wouldn't it be better?"

"Yes, the junior brother is thoughtful, I will rush back early tomorrow morning, first, to report the good news to the master, and second, to ask his old man to come and pick up the master and his wife home. Li Yuan said happily.

Zhu Yiyun didn't expect Ren Si to be so understanding, and she was happy in her heart, but she deliberately put on a straight face and said: "You kid is a good man, I don't know what kind of heart An......'s heart is?

"Mother-in-law. How could Han Xiang not know what she meant? Immediately, her cheeks were flushed, and she shouted coquettishly.

"Don't call me mother-in-law. Zhu Yiyun said with a straight face.

Han Xiang was startled, not knowing what mistake she had made, she hurriedly walked to Zhu Yiyun's side, and asked aggrievedly: "Mother-in-law, I ......" Her eyes were red and tears were dripping.

Zhu Yiyun hugged her in her arms and said gently: "Silly child, he calls me my mother-in-law, but you call me mother-in-law, won't it mess up the generation? From now on, I will be your mother." ”

"Mother-" Han Xiang's pretty face turned crimson in a flash, secretly glanced at Ren Si, and hurriedly hid behind Zhu Yiyun.
