After Wei Rui left, Ling Xiao kept looking at the rune in her hand, which was extremely heavy in her hand, she put the rune into her arms and returned to the mourning hall.

Fan Jun in the mourning hall was talking to He Chen, who had just arrived, Ling Xiao looked at Fan Yuncheng's senior brother with some surprise, Senior Brother He looked at Ling Xiao who walked in with tears in his eyes: "Brother and sister, my brother is incompetent, I originally wanted to intercede for Yu'er in front of the emperor and let Yu'er come back to see his father for the last time------ but the emperor didn't allow it, he didn't allow it------"

"Senior brother, don't be sad, the emperor's state of mind is something that we ordinary people can guess. Ling Xiao understood very well, so Xiao Yan would not do more for Fan Yuncheng, a person he didn't look at all.

"The emperor gave the Fan family three hundred taels of gold and twenty pieces of cloth------ alas, what's the use of those at this time?"

"Since the emperor gave it, then we want it. Ling Xiao comforted in a low voice, "Senior brother, Yun Cheng told me before his death that once he encounters an accident, he will ask me to help the coffin to return to my hometown for burial------ three days later, I will help the coffin out of the city with Jun'er, so that Yun Cheng's death can also rest assured." ”

After hearing this, He Chen was anxious: "Go out of the city, brother and sister, at this time, the four doors are already closed, how can you get out?"

"Senior brother, since our family came to the capital, thank you for taking care of you in many ways, my younger brother and sister are grateful------ but at this time, the Fan family, senior brother still try not to come over again. Ling Xiao didn't answer his question, she just said to He Chen with gratitude.

He Chen was also very helpless after hearing this, he knew that the younger brother and sister in front of him were thinking about him, he had been in and out of Fan's house frequently in the past few days, and He Zheng's subordinates had already been eyeing him, and he had to come to inform him in a hurry tonight, and if he came later, he would also have to think carefully before he dared to raise his feet.

"Brother and sister, you have to take care of your health, you have to worry more about this matter of the Fan family. ”

"Thank you brother for reminding me, I'm fine. Ling Xiao instructed his son: "Hurry up and send Uncle He out of the house." ”

Fan Jun stood up, wiped the tears from his face, and accompanied He Chen out, after he sent He Chen out of the mansion, he saw a few dodging figures in the dark corner of the outside of the mansion.

It's just that without his mother's instructions, he can't make up his own mind, and thinking of this, he has to endure his anger and return to the mourning hall. The mother in the mourning hall was no longer crying at this time, and the mother Fan Jun saw was the most familiar state to him, looking like she was forever pampered and not shocked.

"Jun'er, you go to the mansion and take Xiao Nirvana over. Ling Xiao said softly.

"At this time?" asked Fan Jun puzzled.

"Before dawn, find a way to bring her over. Ling Xiao said unhurriedly.

"Okay, mother. Fan Jun knew that his mother had always had great ideas, and she said that what she wanted to do must be done, thinking of this, he had to get up quietly and go to Xiao Ni.

Xiao Nie has not been steady, since Fan Jun saw Zhang Zhenyue leave in a hurry yesterday, he has not come back, Xiao Nie sat in front of the lamp all night without sleeping, Fan Jun never returned, making her feel that something must have happened, she thought about it and didn't know what would happen, so she had to wait anxiously for Fan Jun's arrival.

When the courtyard door was pushed open by Fan Jun, Xiao Nie heard his familiar footsteps, and happily stood up to open the door for him, and when she opened the door and saw Fan Jun dressed in filial piety clothes, she was stunned.

Fan Jun saw that she had just a little bloody face in the past few days, and at this time, because of her dress, her cheeks were suddenly bloody, and he looked at the girl in front of him with some distress who really cared for himself and the people of the Fan family, and he said with some distress: "Why haven't you rested yet?"

Xiao Nie stretched out a trembling hand and grabbed Fan Jun's sleeve, and asked nervously, "What's wrong with you? Why do you wear a filial piety dress?"

"------ mother wants me to take you home. Fan Jun was still sad at this time, and he didn't want to answer any questions.

"Who is in the family------ who is in the family------ who has passed away?" Xiao Ni continued to ask, "Fan Jun, you answer me, answer me quickly." ”

"Yes------ it's my father, he suddenly fell seriously ill after entering the palace------ and when he came back, he ------ no ------"

"After entering the palace?" Xiao Ni's eyes darkened after hearing this, of course she understood the meaning of these four words, after entering the palace, she suddenly got sick, it must be the emperor who wanted to kill him, she couldn't imagine that this Fan who had been treating her like her own daughter would die suddenly, although Fan Yuncheng was not her father in her heart, but in the past few years she has been in the Fan Mansion, he has always been the image of a loving father in the above herself, she has not had the slightest feeling for her father since she was a child, and all the love that Fan Yuncheng has given herself has satisfied the desire for father's love in her heart, and now such a good and loyal person has ------ died so inexplicably。

"I'm going to kill the Dog Emperor, I'm going to kill him. Xiao Ni turned around and went to get his short sword, ready to rush out.

Fan Jun stretched out his arm to stop her, Xiao Ni's body has not recovered since she was seriously injured, at this time she rushed to the palace, she could only send her to death------ she had done enough for the Fan family, Fan Jun really couldn't bear her to continue to use her life to prove her love for the people of the Fan family.

"Why are you holding me back? Get out of the way, I'm going to kill the Dog Emperor!"

"You can't kill him, Nirvana. Fan Jun said softly.

"If I can't kill me, I'm going to kill it, and I'm going to avenge Lord Fan if I fight to the death. Little Nirvana choked up and said.

"I said you can't go. Fan Jun said loudly, "I want to take revenge more than you, but ------"

"Master Fan has always been very good to me, and I can't repay my little Nirvana in this life, so I will pay it back with death. ”

"I don't want you to die, little Nirvana------ I want you to live------ live well for me. Fan Jun said in a trembling voice, "I can't lose you anymore, little Nirvana------ I don't want you to die." ”

Xiao Ni's arms hung down weakly, she didn't expect Fan Jun to say such things to her at this time, all these years she has been secretly in love with the Fan prince in front of her, but her humble background, so that she dare not expect Fan Jun to like herself one day, too often she always thinks that the bad luck that accompanies her mother's life will sooner or later befall her, her life is like her mother, floating in this world, there will never be a stable day.

"Fan Jun------ with your words, it's worth my death------" Xiao Ni laughed with tears, "Lord Fan's revenge will be avenged by me, the emperor will kill the emperor if he kills him, Lord Fan treats me like his own daughter, I have everything I should have in the Fan family for the past few years, I have no regrets------"

Fan Jun took her in his arms, and he whispered: "Don't mention the word death in front of me------ I said that you have to live well." ”

Xiao Ni's whole body trembled suddenly, Fan Jun's hug was something she couldn't have imagined, and she felt for the first time that the tears she shed were sweet------

"Come home with me, my mother wants me to come to pick you up. Fan Jun slowly let go of his arm, and he reached out to wipe away the tears on Xiao Ni's cheeks, just like when he left home a few years ago, he wiped away the tears on Xiao Ni's face.

His warm palm brought new strength to Xiao Ni, who cheered up and said to him with a smile: "Okay, let's go." ”

After they hurried back to the Fan Mansion, Ling Xiao was looking at the gold and silk sent by the emperor, now these things have no meaning in her eyes, she knows that the current Fan family has reached a situation where it is on the verge of breaking out, she has no choice, her patience has reached the limit, she doesn't want to continue to endure it anymore.

"Madame-----" Xiao Ni couldn't bear to look at the coffin parked on top of the mourning hall, she came to Ling Xiao and knelt down on her knees: "Madam, Xiao Ni is incompetent------ failed to protect the adult." ”

Ling Xiao smiled gently, she stretched out her hand to help Xiao Ni: "You are a girl, how much ability can you have to protect him? There are so many people who want to kill him, and the power is so great, he can't avoid it if he wants to, let alone you?"

"------I'm sorry!" Xiao Ni cried bitterly, "I couldn't come to see him for the last time, I'm sorry ------"

"Xiao Ni, it's the best thing for you to be alive, now that you're back in the house, I'm really happy------ Jun'er, since Xiao Ni has come back, there is one thing you have to do. Ling Xiao said to his son with tears in his eyes.

"Mother, you tell the child. Fan Jun replied in a low voice.

"After dusk, you have to rush to Tongtai Temple and bring Yu'er back. Ling Xiao's voice was so calm, but Fan Jun was taken aback when he heard it.

"Mother, the emperor decreed that Brother Yu was not allowed to leave Tongtai Temple for half a step!"

"Then we won't leave half a step, and we will leave the Tongtai Temple forever!" Ling Xiao still said calmly: "We must bring Yu'er back before the time." ”

"What about those eyes and ears in front of the door?" Fan Jun asked worriedly.

"Do I have to go through the gate to enter the mansion?" Ling Xiao asked rhetorically.

Fan Jun suddenly realized after hearing this, he turned around and walked out of the mourning hall without saying a word, he quietly left the Fan Mansion over the wall, leaving behind the killers who were investigating the ghosts and brains at the front and back doors of the Fan Mansion, and hurriedly went to Tongtai Temple.

When he arrived at Tongtai Temple, it was late, at this time Fan Yu, just finished the evening class, copying the scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Fan Jun quietly floated in, that Fan Yu was putting down the brush in his hand, planning to get up and leave.

He didn't expect that his eldest brother would suddenly appear in front of him, and just as he was about to speak, Fan Jun made a silent gesture and motioned for him to follow him out of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.

"Big brother, why are you here?" asked Fan Yu when he came to Tallinn.

"It's my mother who wants me to pick you up from the temple. Fan Jun made a long story short.

Fan Yu looked up at the moon in the sky, there were still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon was extraordinarily bright, Fan Yu sighed like an adult and said, "Finally waited for this day." Fan Yu whispered to the eldest brother, "It's just that I'm going to the abbot and take another look at him?"

Fan Jun looked at his little brother with some puzzlement, why Fan Yu was so nostalgic for the abbot, although he didn't ask, but Fan Yu had already understood the confusion of the eldest brother, he hurriedly explained: "Since the younger brother became a monk in Tongtai Temple, the abbot has taken care of me in many ways, and now I am leaving, others can not talk about it, but I must go to the abbot." ”

"Okay!" Fan Jun said softly.

Fan Yu quietly came to the abbot, he quietly knelt down in the courtyard, kowtowed, and slowly stood up, he said silently in his heart, I am leaving, abbot, Ziming has left Tongtai Temple since tonight, and will never come back, you have to take good care! Fan Yu and his eldest brother together, straightened up, flew out of the high wall of Tongtai Temple, and hurried home.

After returning home, Fan Yu saw that the eldest brother took off the night clothes outside, revealing the filial piety clothes inside, he was stunned, why did the eldest brother wear filial piety clothes? Fan Yu's heart suddenly began to beat wildly, he looked around his home, a sad scene at home, he let go of his eldest brother's hand, ran to the front of the light of the mourning hall, when he saw the mother and Xiao Ni before the mourning hall, also wearing filial piety clothes, he slowly approached the coffin, when he saw the coffin before the spirit card, after writing his father's name, he suddenly cried loudly, he finally understood why the eldest brother wanted to take himself out, it was because his father had passed away----- Fan Yu, who had been separated from his father for several years, saw his father again, it was already yin and yang------ Fan Yu couldn't accept all this in front of him for a while, He cried like crazy, and none of the family stopped Fan Yu, but let him cry happily in front of his father's coffin.

After Fan Yu was tired of crying, Ling Xiao slowly walked to his side, now the youngest son has grown a head taller, and his figure is not as thin as a few years ago, he has grown into a handsome young man, Ling Xiao looked at Fan Yu in front of him, his eyes began to blur again, the eldest son Fan Jun is very similar to himself, and the temperament of the younger son Fan Yu is very similar to his father, and now as he gets older, he seems to be Fan Yuncheng when he was a teenager, Ling Xiao saw Yu'er who had grown into an adult, her heart was painful like a knife------ now she can only suppress these pains in her heart, she has to quickly and calmly make all the preparationsto prepare for your family to leave the capital.

"Yu'er------ give me your golden lock. Ling Xiao commanded in a low voice.

Fan Yu obediently took down the golden lock that had followed him for many years and handed it to Ling Xiao's hand. Ling Xiao looked at the golden lock in front of him and remembered the scene when Zhang Yuanzhi was wearing the golden lock on Yu'er's neck, and this scene seemed to be just yesterday------

"Jun'er, please ask your Uncle Fu and Aunt Xing to wait for me in the front hall. Ling Xiao commanded in a low voice.

"Yes!"

"Xiao Ni, you and Yu'er are guarding here, and I'll come when I go. Ling Xiao hurried to the front hall, where Fan Fu and Xing'er were anxiously waiting for her arrival.

"Fan Fu, have you properly arranged the sedan chair man who has followed the master for many years yesterday?" Ling Xiao asked softly.

"After Madame instructed yesterday, the villain had already arranged for them to buy a house in the suburbs, plus a few acres of arable land, and gave fifty taels of silver each. Fan Fu replied honestly.

"Fan Fu, you grew up in the Fan family, you were his playmate when the master was young, you have been working hard in the Fan Mansion for forty years------ the master often told me a few years ago, I shouldn't have brought you to the capital------ it's just that you and Xing'er are too stubborn, why don't you want to leave us------ Fan Fu, now you and Xing are not young, I am here to be the master, let you marry Xing'er, are you willing?" Ling Xiao asked euphemistically.

Fan Fu was stunned, although he and Xing'er have been in the Fan Mansion together over the years, the people of the Fan family have never underestimated them, and they are also at ease when they work in the Fan family, but the Fan family has suffered so many misfortunes over the years, he is anxious in his eyes, and he doesn't know how to help the Fan family do more things, and now that Mrs. suddenly mentioned this matter, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Madame, I'm ------"

"I have seen a house for you in Yangzhou, although it is not big, but Yangzhou is a good place for outstanding people, after you and Xing'er become husband and wife, you will retire together there. Ling Xiao took out an ingot of gold that had already been prepared and handed it to Fan Fu's hand, "After buying a house for the two old palanquins, my Fan family has no savings, but the emperor knows our Fan family too well, and knows that we are short of silver taels, so he specially sent us gold ------ Fan Fu, these fifty taels of gold, you and Xing'er take it, with it, you should not worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life." ”

Fan Fu looked at the golden ingot, he really couldn't say anything, he never dreamed that he would have so much wealth one day, his inner anxiety became heavier and heavier at this time, but he has always been clumsy, and he can't say anything when the words come to his mouth.

"Madam, what are you doing------ you arranged this arrangement and that, do you ------ you want to go with the master?" Xing'er suddenly cried loudly on the side, "Madam, you must think about it, now this family is still counting on you." ”

Xing'er's words woke up Fan Fu, who was at a loss on the side, and he also understood why he had been uneasy in his heart, and it turned out that deep down in his heart, he also had the same worry.

"Madam, you must not do stupid things, I, Fan Fu, will not leave you, madam, don't worry, I will always die in the Fan family, and I will not go anywhere." Fan Fu couldn't help but shed tears.

"Alas------ originally asked you to marry today, which is an excellent thing, why are you crying here?" Ling Xiao looked at Fan Fu and Xing'er, who were crying, sighed and said: "Don't worry, I won't die, I still have unfinished business, how can I die?"

Ling Xiao pulled Xing'er to his side, and whispered: "My lord and I didn't let you start a family earlier, it was really a big mistake, and now there is no way to do it, if you leave the Fan family alone, how can I bear it? You marry Fan Fu, he is an honest and capable person, in the future, you and him will take this gold and do some small business, and it is enough to support the family." ”

"But ------ we've been together all these years, how can I be willing to leave you?"

Ling Xiao smiled faintly, she took out the title deed that had been prepared from her bosom and handed it to Xing'er: "This is the title deed of the house in Yangzhou, you have collected it, you must put it close to you." ”

Fan Fu saw the land deed in Ling Xiao's hand, and thought that if it was the mansion he bought recently, he should know about it, but he didn't know about these things, presumably this Mrs. Fan had already thought about these things, but she was afraid that she had already arranged these things a few years ago. He has been following Fan Yuncheng and his wife for more than 20 years, and he knows the Mrs. Fan in front of him too well, if this lady wants to do something, no one can stop her. Thinking of this, he knew that he might really have to leave the Fan family forever, he looked at Ling Xiao with a calm face, he knew that it was useless to say anything more, he and Xing'er could only do what Madame wanted.

"Fan Fu is here to thank Madame. Fan Fu pulled Xing'er to kneel on the ground, "Madame thinks so thoughtfully, I, Fan Fu, have no reason to refuse, I can only thank Madame for becoming a villain." ”

"------ I can only do so much for you. Ling Xiao hurriedly stretched out his hand to help them up, "Isn't it a good thing that you are still together ------ be companions." ”

"Madam, let's not say anything more, it's just that we're leaving, I wonder if ------ will we have a chance to meet again in this life?" Fan Fu asked in a trembling voice.

Ling Xiao was silent and didn't answer, yes, will they have a chance to meet again after saying goodbye today? The possibility of seeing each other again is almost none, but she can't talk about it, maybe Fan Fu and Xing'er will slowly forget her and Fan Yuncheng after living a happy life, Ling Xiao suddenly wants them to forget themselves, so that they will no longer have any worries in this life, and they will grow old slowly in the passage of time, she has thought many times that she can grow old slowly with Fan Yuncheng------ but all this has come to naught, and they can never go back to the past-----

"Fan Fu, you go and prepare some candlesticks, Xing'er, can you go to the kitchen and make a bowl of noodles?" Ling Xiao commanded softly.

Xing'er was stunned when she heard this: "Madam, Fan Fu and I are so old, there is no need to worship here to get married." ”

Ling Xiao looked outside, the moonlight outside was so bright, it was about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, she originally wanted to leave the capital after the festival, but now it seems that this is impossible, the longer the delay, the greater the threat to their family, thinking of this, she said softly: "Xing'er, you are not the only ones who get married today, ------ you are going to prepare." ”

After the front hall was arranged, Ling Xiao instructed Fan Fudao: "Go and call Jun'er and Xiao Ni over." ”

Fan Fu then understood what Mrs. meant, he hurriedly called Fan Jun and Xiao Ni in front of Ling Xiao in front of Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao looked at his son and Xiao Ni in filial piety clothes, she said a little sadly: "Today's matter is indeed too hasty, but my mother's ------ can only do this, Xiao Nirvana, I promised your mother, to treat you well, tonight in this mansion, there is one thing I will make for you." ”

Fan Jun and Xiao Ni looked at her a little nervously, not knowing what she meant by this.

"Little Nirvana. Ling Xiao asked softly, "I want Jun'er to marry you tonight, are you willing?"
