Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Yangui couldn't see Mrs. Jiang getting out of the carriage, her face was covered with tears, she turned to look at the carriage where Jiang Yangui was in when she was far away, she could only take one look, and then plunged into the crowd without hesitation.

Jiang Yangui was afraid of attracting attention, so he didn't dare to shout loudly, so he could only watch Mrs. Jiang go away through the carriage window, and beat his own useless legs in anger.

The groom driving the car is the nursing home of the Chu family, and Mrs. Jiang is the master, so they dare not stop them.

Jiang Yangui sat in the carriage for a while, really anxious, the carriage blocked in front had already started to move forward slowly, he said to the groom: "Go and tell Uncle and Uncle that my mother has gone back to Jiang's Mansion to get the money .”

The Chu family had a total of four carriages, the second elder's carriage was at the front, followed by the second master Chu's, their carriage was in the third, and the uncle's carriage was at the end.But in order to avoid inspection by the officers and soldiers, their carriage was mixed with a rich merchant in the city, and the way out of the city was also borrowed from that rich merchant, and the people and goods were mixed together. It seems that there are more than 20 vehicles.

Uncle Chu's family was sitting in the carriage, and when Uncle Chu opened the curtain, he happened to see the back of Madam Jiang leaving with two guards, and he said annoyedly: "At this critical moment, where is she going with her people? "

His wife, Mrs. Liu, glanced at her, knocked on the melon seeds and said, "Maybe I saw the carriage stuck on the road, so I want to buy some snacks to eat on the road."

Uncle Chu became even more upset in an instant, "I'm still thinking about eating at this juncture!"

After thinking about it, it seemed wrong again, he said: "She didn't bring any money when she came back from Jiang's house, where did she get the money?"

Liu Shi gave him a white look: "You are really the second elder in the family and you won't give it secretly."

When he thought of the two elders of the Chu family who were so daring, Uncle Chu became angry: "Aren't they used to people enough! Since they were young, they have been careless in doing things. They have started a family by themselves. What are the names of the children they teach?" Stuff! If it wasn't for the third brother to "intervene" in her unworthy daughter's affairs, why would we be here today!"

Mrs. Liu was also full of dissatisfaction: "I have never seen any married aunt like yours. The Jiang family has never given a letter to release their wives. I see that the second elder will still intend to keep her in the future." The family property is also shared with our aunt. The Jiang family has caused us such misery, and we have to help others raise their children!"

Uncle Chu didn't make a sound, but it was obvious that his anger was even worse.

When the groom of Jiang Yangui's car came and told Mrs. Jiang that she was going back to Jiang's mansion, Mrs. Liu broke out in a cold sweat: "She's crazy!"

Uncle Chu was restless: "Didn't you say that she went to buy snacks? It was too late to stop her just now, what do you say now?"

Liu said: "I'm guessing wildly too. She wants to go back by herself. Her legs are on her body. How can you blame me?"

"If you don't mention her dowry in the morning, can she go back impulsively?"

"Chu Qingping, I understand now. It's you who usually say that this sister is bad. If something happens, you'll have to blame it on me, right? She's such a big person, she has no brains." ?”

Uncle Chu was still making noise, and when Second Master Chu heard about this, he was almost furious: "This bereaved star! She wants to die but drags this big family with her!"

The anger returned to the anger, but the second master of Chu still asked the boy to hurry to find the person sent by the King of Liaonan to meet them.

There are too many people standing around the carriage to make people suspicious. Those people are all scattered. Occasionally there are diners sitting and drinking tea upstairs in the restaurant. Maybe they are staring at the secret whistle that is moving in the distance. There was movement on the side of the Chu family, and those who were close to the carriage were the Chu family's own guards.

When the leader of the response learned that Mrs. Jiang had returned to Jiang's residence, his brows almost twitched into a knot. He ordered a group of people to go to Jiang's residence to meet them, and the rest went out of the city as originally planned.

***

A concubine "died" in the Jiang family, and now the whole Jiang family is still completely blank.

Mrs. Jiang found the white silk hanging on the gate of Jiang's house, she was stunned for a moment, thinking that Jiang Shangshu was gone.

The two guards of the Chu family are not allowed to leave the house these days like her, and they don't know what's going on outside.

Mrs. Jiang is not smart, but she still has some brains. She didn't dare to go in through the front door blatantly, and went around to the back door.

She knocked on the door, and the woman who opened the door was surprised to see Mrs. Jiang: "Husband... madam? Why are you back?"

Facing the servants of Jiang's house, Mrs. Jiang still had arrogance, she immediately snorted coldly: "Why, Mrs. Ben can't come back?"

The mother-in-law repeatedly apologized: "Old slave... this old slave does not mean that."

Madam Jiang didn't have time to talk to her too much, seeing that she was wearing plain clothes, she asked, "Is Jiang Jing'an dead?"

The mother-in-law looked embarrassed: "No, the concubine Xi from the palace is gone."

Mrs. Jiang hated that concubine's eldest daughter for more than ten years, but at the moment when she heard the news of her death, she was just in a daze, and she didn't feel much joy in her heart.

Back then, when the Chu family was dating the Jiang family, the matchmaker said that Jiang Shangshu's family didn't even have a housemate, and they kept themselves clean.She once met Jiang Shangshu at a banquet, he was humble, courteous and talented, so she happily agreed to the marriage.

After marriage, Jiang Shangshu seldom talked to her, and mostly used excuses to rest in the study.Although she felt that her husband was alienated intentionally, but there were no other aunts in the house, and he was indeed studying hard in the study, so she suppressed her doubts and only thought that he was just a cold temper.

But in the year she was pregnant, Jiang Shangshu brought back a baby girl from outside, saying that there used to be a maid in the house who sent her away to marry her. Unexpectedly, the maid was pregnant and was giving birth. Time passed and only one baby girl was left.

Mrs. Jiang knows why Jiang Shangshu treats her estranged. He already has someone in his heart!At that time, she was young and energetic, and ran back to her mother's house regardless of her big belly.

But it's a done deal, she also has one in her stomach, what else can she do, she can only pinch her nose to recognize the concubine.

It's just that Jiang Shangshu's attitude towards the two daughters is very different. How can she not hate, how can she not resent?

After the accident of the two children, Jiang Shangshu's indifferent attitude finally made her see clearly what kind of face this man had.

Jiang Jing'an probably has no heart.

Otherwise, how cold and hard-hearted is it that you can see your own flesh and blood being treated like that and still remain indifferent.

All the blessings in her life were enjoyed when she was a girl. From the moment she got married, it was the source of all mistakes.

The two guards were highly skilled in martial arts. Mrs. Jiang only brought them two, and she was already prepared that she would not be able to go back, as long as they could take out all the bank notes she had hidden.

The Chu family has now been "forced" to this point. The brothers and sisters-in-law resent her and her pair of children. The parents are caught in the middle of a dilemma. Madam Jiang knows that in her life, no matter whether she is a child or a parent, she has failed. some.

When the Chu family learned that she and her daughter had brought such a disaster to the Chu family, she had no face to stay any longer, but at that time the imperial army closed the house and she couldn't get out.These days, although the brother and sister-in-law said something strange from time to time, Mrs. Jiang felt uncomfortable but knew that what they said was the truth.

So what if we arrive in Xizhou?Will the family of three continue to live on their own?Her Ah Yi was complained and disliked by her brother and sister-in-law, and her old parents were worried about their affairs every day?

Everything always needs an end.

Mrs. Jiang put away her thoughts.

She gave one of them a look, and the guard immediately slashed the woman who opened the door unconscious with a knife.

Mrs. Jiang led them to her yard quickly. During the period when she was locked up, all the valuable things in the yard were removed, and the power in charge of Zhongfu was also taken away.

But she has been in the Jiang family for so many years, and she still has her own place to hide money.

The last time Mother Yang came to pick her up from the house, the time was urgent that day, she was concerned about her daughter's chaos, and she didn't expect that she would never come back once she went out, so she didn't bother to get the bank ticket at all.

Mrs. Jiang was very familiar with the terrain of Jiang's house, and tried to avoid people walking along the way, but whenever she met a servant, she was knocked unconscious by two guards.

The yard where Mrs. Jiang used to live was basically unused, and there was not even a servant to sweep it. She entered the bedroom, asked two guards to pry open the floor tiles, and took out a brocade box from the hole in the ground.

The brocade box is full of banknotes from Mrs. Jiang's dowry back then. Her other dowry is now locked in the Jiang family's treasury and cannot be retrieved.But with these banknotes, Mrs. Jiang believes that she can make a good life for her two children.

She asked the two guards to hide all the banknotes on her body. Although the two guards were wondering why Mrs. Jiang asked them to do this, they didn't ask any further questions, and after collecting the banknotes, they sneaked around go outside.

But the servants they knocked out before were seen by other servants passing by, and thought it was a thief in the mansion, and finally alarmed Jiang Shangshu.

The new emperor did not go to court for many days, and Jiang Shangshu stayed at home.

He got a servant's words, so he came here quickly, and seeing Mrs. Jiang frowned fiercely, the first sentence was: "Why are you coming back?"

Mrs. Jiang looked at this man who had been sharing the same bed for more than ten years, her eyes no longer had the sadness and joy of the past, and she said: "I'm here to ask for a copy of the peace agreement and get back my dowry!"

The Chu family was surrounded by forbidden troops, how did Mrs. Jiang get here?

Jiang Shangshu thought for a while, made a rough guess, and said, "I don't care what your Chu family wants to do, but you must return the words to me!"

Mrs. Jiang was trapped in the Chu family, and he never wrote the letter to let his wife go. After all, he still couldn't pass the test of his conscience.In the past ten years, although he and Mrs. Jiang have been a bitter couple, it is undeniable that the Chu family helped him in his official career in the early years, so he must not make trouble.

But what the Chu family has to do now is to punish the nine clans for their great crime.

Hearing him talk about her son, Mrs. Jiang thought of Jiang Yangui's leg, and she couldn't hide her anger: "Yangui is a piece of flesh that fell from my body, and I will not let him go back to Jiang's house again! Ask yourself, he has grown so big, how can you How many times have you hugged him, and how many times have you talked to him well? Who is it for his legs to become like this now?"

Jiang Shangshu yelled angrily: "You Chu family wants to die, don't drag my Jiang family! As long as Jiang Yangui is still on my Jiang family tree, if he follows the Chu family, all the crimes committed by the Chu family will be implicated in my Jiang family. , why is your heart so vicious?"

"I'm vicious?" Mrs. Jiang asked: "Jiang Jing'an, touch your conscience! Who is vicious! Your own daughter was sent to the military camp to be a prostitute. It's fine if you don't save her. I went to save people? Declare that I am crazy and lock me in the yard! In terms of viciousness, who is as good as you!"

These old events were revealed, Jiang Shang's writing was not good-looking, he shouted:

"I didn't care about the overall situation! If she didn't have those vicious thoughts, would she be able to deal with such a thing? If that warrior Chu Changping hadn't secretly collected her body, the Chu family would have fallen into this situation today? To save that unworthy girl , are you going to risk everyone's life? As long as your daughter is your heart and soul, they don't have to live as a side branch of the family that has been in disaster?"

Mrs. Jiang only felt that Jiang Shangshu's face was disgusting and strange, and she pouted: "I haven't read a few books, and I know that the king is inhumane. You are in vain for reading poetry and books, but you are still deceiving yourself here. It's wrong, but it's not the only crime! Don't pour dirty water on her!"

She didn't want to talk to Jiang Shangshu any more, and said: "Heli wrote it to me. If you are afraid of getting into trouble, you can remove all the words and meanings from the Jiang family tree! I will leave today, and I will be with your Jiang family again in the future." Nothing to do with it!"

Jiang Shangshu still wanted to say something, but saw a young servant running from outside the house: "Master! It's not good! The Imperial Forest Army has surrounded the whole house, Your Majesty... Your Majesty has come here in person!"

Jiang Shangshu felt his knees go weak, and Mrs. Jiang felt as if she had been struck by lightning—was she discovered so quickly?

The sinking of the whole family was in an instant. Jiang Shangshu glanced at Mrs. Jiang, and made a choice without much thought: "I will write He Lishu to you! Prepare paper and pen!"

Even though she had seen this person's "nature" clearly, Mrs. Jiang still felt a little sad at this moment.

Her mind is in chaos now. She has been a woman in a deep house all her life. Apart from surrounding her husband every day, she just hopes that her son will become a talent and her daughter will marry a good family. The biggest dream she has ever had in her life is probably herself. Became Mrs. Gao Ming.

Everything in front of her was beyond her expectations.

Why did the emperor come here?

Have the rest of the Chu family been arrested?

Did I think I was smart enough to harm my family?

Mrs. Jiang's mind is numb now, her hands and feet are cold, and she thinks very slowly.

The two guards were left by Chu Changping, and they were very sincere to the Chu family. They were just servants, and they should have been sold after being arrested. As long as they were smart, the money would still have a chance to be sent to his daughter outside the pass.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang's lips moved, and she said something to them silently, and the two guards looked sad.

Jiang Shangshu had already written the Heli Shu, and even asked someone to fetch the genealogy, and crossed out the names of Jiang Yangui and Jiang Yanyi.

Looking at the family tree with the name crossed out, Mrs. Jiang didn't feel sad, but suddenly felt that the ten years of being married to Jiang Shangshu were like a big dream, but now she woke up from the dream.

From then on, she and her two children have nothing to do with the man in front of her.

Jiang Shangshu handed the Heli book to her with a look in his eyes that she couldn't understand, he was also sad in a trance, or more embarrassing.

He has been aloof for so many years, but at such a juncture, he threw away all the etiquette, justice and shame, just to protect the family to the maximum extent.

Mrs. Jiang took He Li's book, glanced at it briefly, and put it in her arms.

Jiang Shangshu said to her: "Let's go."

He thought that the new emperor came for the affairs of the Chu family.

Mrs. Jiang took a few steps, and suddenly ran away regardless of finding a way, and the nurses who came with Jiang Shangshu hurriedly chased after her.

Jiang Shangshu was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke: "The imperial army has surrounded the entire Jiang residence, do you think you can escape?"

There were more than half of the guards around, and the two guards of the Chu family took advantage of the chaos and separated and ran away.

This is what Mrs. Jiang told the two guards before. If they can escape, they must escape. Mrs. Jiang deliberately made the illusion of running away to create opportunities for them.

She was quickly caught up by the guards in the house, and Jiang Shangshu's face was gloomy: "Are you going to drag the entire Jiang family to die with your Chu family?"

Before Mrs. Jiang could speak, the eunuch's shrill voice came from outside the Chuihua Gate:

"Your Majesty is here—"

Jiang Shangshu turned pale with shock, and hurriedly knelt down to greet him: "My minister is joining His Majesty."

"Jiang Aiqing can make me wait a long time." The new emperor's eyes were cloudy: "I thought Aiqing absconded in fear of crime!"

Jiang Shangshu kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty's sincerity can be learned from the sun and the moon! Today, the daughter of the Chu family came to the door just to ask for a letter of reconciliation and get back the dowry. I have already detained her and let Your Majesty deal with it."

He was digging on the ground with his hands. If it wasn't for the whole family, he wouldn't want to be such a villain.

Only then did the new emperor see Mrs. Jiang, who was held down by two women. Mrs. Jiang was dressed so plainly. If Jiang Shangshu hadn't said it, he would hardly have recognized that she was the wife of a dignified third-rank official.

He narrowed his eyes: "Isn't the Chu family guarded by the forbidden army? Why is she here?"

This sentence surprised Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Shangshu.

The new emperor didn't know about the escape of the Chu family?

"The Chu family actually gave me a surprise!" The new emperor's eyes were dark.

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, her originally dull gaze instantly became firmer.

As long as those banknotes are sent out, her two children can live well. She has brought such a disaster to the family, and she has no face to stay in that family. She only hopes that her brother and sister-in-law will not have such resentment when she dies. , her son and daughter can live better.

Mrs. Jiang's fear was gone, she scolded: "The dog emperor! People are doing what the sky is watching, you are stupid! Your dragon position will be taken away sooner or later!"

Everyone was stunned, no one had ever dared to insult an emperor like this.

The two wives who were holding Mrs. Jiang loosened their strength a little in horror. Mrs. Jiang broke free from them and slammed into the rockery with the determination to die.

"Stop her—"

However, it was too late, Mrs. Jiang got hit on the head and broke her blood.

"Your Majesty! There are two thieves fleeing, one died at the hands of the imperial guards, and the other escaped!" At this time, an imperial guard rushed into the courtyard to report.

The blood blurred his vision, and when he heard someone escaped, Madam Jiang curled the corners of her mouth and closed her eyes peacefully.

The snow powder splashed when she fell to the ground didn't seem to be cold at all. In a trance, she just fell down while playing in the snow when she was 15 years old.

Parents are going to scold her again for not being like a daughter, but there is still the third brother who will intercede for her.

This whole life was like a big dream, she woke up and fell asleep, and she couldn't tell which was reality and which was a dream.

She didn't want to tell the difference, so let's go to sleep.

In a trance, someone called her "Chu Si", which was her nickname when she was a girl. She followed the voice and chased after her, walking further and further...

***

Western State.

Jiang Yanyi was making breakfast, and the mushroom and chicken porridge in the casserole was already fragrant and thick. She was holding a bowl of porridge and shouting to the okra who was sweeping the snow outside the courtyard: "Okra, it's time to eat."

Okra ran into the house quickly, and Jiang Yanyi handed her the bowl of porridge, "Pass me another bowl."

Okra took a bowl from the cupboard and handed it over.

During the handover, she let go too early, and Jiang Yanyi didn't catch it. There was a crisp "clang", and the porcelain bowl with Ruyi pattern enamel fell to the ground and shattered.

Jiang Yanyi frowned, while Qiukui was a little at a loss: "I'm sorry, Huahua, I thought you were sure."

"It's okay, Suisui is safe." Jiang Yanyi squatted down to pick up the fragments of the plate, but his fingertips were pierced by the broken porcelain, and a bright red blood dripped instantly, one of which fell on the white porcelain fragments, which was shocking .

The older generation said that it was unlucky to break things early in the morning. Although Jiang Yanyi was not superstitious, she still felt inexplicably uneasy.

It had been several days since Chu Changping returned to Beijing, and there was no news of Feng Shuo after he went to Xizhou Camp. She was worried that something happened in the capital, and worried about Feng Shuo's injury.

Just hope it's not an omen.

After another four or five days of worry, Jiang Yanyi's newly purchased house was almost cleaned up, and finally the news came that Chu Changping had received the Chu family's arrival in Xizhou.

As soon as Chu Changping's confidant came to spread the word, she left the business in the store, took the gifts she bought in advance, and hurried to the new house.

On the way, she asked Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yangui, her cronies who were driving the car, how the cronies didn't know how to answer her for a while, and said, "Miss Biao, you'll know when you go."

Jiang Yanyi heard something bad from his words.

When she arrived at the new house, as soon as she entered the yard, she happened to meet Chu Changping who came out of the front hall. Compared with before going to the capital, Chu Changping seemed to have lost a lot of weight, his cheeks were so thin that they were sunken, and his temples were obviously white send.

"Uncle." Jiang Yan called him intentionally.

"Hey." Chu Changping responded, and said again: "Your grandmother and grandfather are inside, go in and have a look at them."

Jiang Yanyi felt more and more bad, and asked, "Uncle, did something happen on the way?"

Chu Changping shook his head, but couldn't hold back the red eyes, he said, "Your mother, it's gone."

Jiang Yanyi's mind went blank for a moment, and it took him a while to recover.

She has the memory of her original body, but she hasn't had time to establish an emotional bond with Mrs. Jiang.

In terms of sadness, she and Mrs. Jiang have never met face to face, so it can't be said how sad it is.But the heart is still full of boredom, this is the instinctive reaction of this body to hear the death of a loved one.

Chu Changping patted her on the shoulder with his big palm like a cattail leaf fan, "Cry here if you want to cry, and don't cry after entering the house. Your grandmother never stopped crying all the way, and she fainted several times. Her age It’s so big, it’s very sad.”

Jiang Yanyi nodded. After Chu Changping left, she stood outside the house for a while before lifting her foot into the house.

Her footsteps were light, and she just happened to be standing at the entrance when she entered, and no one in the room noticed her for a while.

Mrs. Chu was sitting on the Arhat bed, with several soft pillows behind her. A middle-aged beautiful woman was serving her medicine, and there were several young girls sitting around her.

Jiang Yanyi recognized that woman as Uncle Chu's first wife, Mrs. Liu. The three girls next to her, the two who looked like Mrs. Liu were from the eldest family, and the younger one was from the second wife.

"Mother, take another sip, how can you do it if you don't eat?" Liu comforted in a warm voice.

Old Mrs. Chu turned her face away, tears rolled down her eyes again: "I can't eat, I'll go with my poor Ping'er."

"You brothers and sisters-in-law, why can't you tolerate her? If you didn't give her face every day, and you would be a stickler for every word, why would she give away money for nothing in order to go back to Jiang's mansion?" life……"

Uncle Chu, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help but get angry when she heard her mentioning this: "Mother, don't put this shit on your son's head! Since she was a child, hasn't she caused enough trouble for the family? If it wasn't for you and the three My brother has been spoiling her all this time, so she doesn’t know what to do when she is a mother? The children she has taught are more capable of getting into trouble than the other! Let’s move our family to Xizhou in disgrace! Don’t forget who gave it to me!”

"You...Nizi!" Mrs. Chu was so angry that her heart ached.

Uncle Chu rushed out angrily after his attack. He bumped into Jiang Yanyi at the porch, paused in his steps, passed her and went out without saying a word.

It was also at this time that the people in the room found Jiang Yanyi standing there.

Mrs. Liu was helping Mrs. Chu get her way, when she saw Jiang Yanyi, her expression was a little embarrassed, but she quickly smiled: "Ah Yi is here, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense, he is usually a fool."

When Mrs. Chu heard Jiang Yanyi's intentions, she quickly raised her eyes to look this way, and when she saw Jiang Yanyi, she burst into tears in an instant: "Ayi, come to grandma quickly."

Jiang Yanyi stepped forward, and Mrs. Chu hugged her and cried hard, "Your mother's life is miserable, she was looking forward to seeing you, but she still didn't see you..."

Mrs. Liu also touched the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and persuaded: "Mother, don't cry, you have cried all the way, and if you keep crying, your eyes will break."

Jiang Yanyi didn't know how to comfort Mrs. Chu, but at this moment, she was infected by Mrs. Chu's emotions. She really felt sad in her heart, and her eyes gradually became moist: "Grandmother."

As soon as she cried, Mrs. Chu panicked: "Ah Yi, don't cry, Ah Yi and grandmother, if anyone dares to bully you siblings in the future, unless the grandmother kicks her feet, she will go with your mother."

When Mrs. Liu on the side heard Mrs. Chu's words, a look of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

Seeing that Mrs. Chu was no longer crying, she handed Jiang Yanyi the soup in her hand: "Mother refuses to eat, so please persuade her to eat some."

Jiang Yanyi nodded: "I can save it, Auntie."

Mrs. Liu knew that Mrs. Chu would definitely want to talk to Jiang Yanyi alone, she said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law will go down first. If there is anything wrong, please send someone to call me."

Mrs. Chu seemed to be still angry and ignored her.

Liu's expression froze, and after she left, her two daughters and Chu Jiabao, the only daughter of Second Master Chu, followed her out, but Chu Jiabao seemed to be quite hostile to Jiang Yan, and hated Jiang Yan before leaving. Glared at her.

Jiang Yanyi noticed it, but didn't make a sound.

When there were only two grandparents and grandchildren left in the room, Mrs. Chu couldn't hold back her tears again: "Your mother is so confused, so what if the eldest and second child run on her again, as long as I am still standing, the Chu family can still lose your mother!" San's chopsticks don't work, why is she bothering!"

"You said why is this child so stubborn, she is trying to make me feel so sad!"

"Grandmother, don't think about this anymore." Jiang Yanyi took a deep breath to hide the astringency in her heart, scooped up a spoonful of soup and fed it to Mrs. Chu: "What's the matter if you don't eat all the time? I count on your long life."

Mrs. Chu covered the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Eat, why don't you eat, I have to take good care of you two for her. I think of that heartless Ping girl whose heart is like a knife is being cut ..."

Jiang Yanyi coaxed and lied, but it could be said that Mrs. Chu drank the bowl of soup. The old man was exhausted after a long journey, so Jiang Yanyi coaxed the old man to fall asleep before leaving.

When she walked out of the yard, she sighed softly.

There is no greater tragedy in the world than a white-haired person giving a black-haired person.

When passing by the courtyard that was originally prepared for Madam Jiang, Jiang Yanyi felt a little heavy when he saw that it was empty, but he could only sigh with emotion that the world is impermanent.

Thinking of the younger brother who hadn't officially met, Jiang Yanyi went to the next yard.

Jiang Yangui couldn't get his legs off the ground, so he sat on the bed, staring at the front with empty eyes, his complexion was sickly pale, and the delicate eyebrows and eyes were lifeless.

The guards in the room were guards who followed from the Chu family in the capital city. They had probably been serving Jiang Yangui all the way. Now that he has figured out his temperament, the sound he makes when serving tea and pouring water is extremely small.

When Jiang Yanyi entered the door, the guard called "Miss Biao" and bowed back.

Jiang Yanyi sat down on the embroidered pier in front of the bed, looked at the ashen-hearted young man lying on the bed, and felt rather uncomfortable: "Go back."

Only then did Jiang Yangui's eyeballs move, and he looked over, his eyes were pitch black, but he was not at all active: "Sister."

Jiang Yanyi held his hand: "I'm here."

"We don't have a mother anymore."

When he said this, a water mark slipped from the corner of his eye, fast and anxious.

Jiang Yanyi leaned over and hugged the half-grown boy: "Don't cry, mother is always there, she is in the sky."

Jiang Yangui took out a handful of banknotes from his bosom, and Mizusawa kept slipping into his dark but lifeless eyes: "Mother paid for it with her life..."

That day, only one of the guards of the Chu family who followed Mrs. Jiang to the Jiang family came back and brought back these bank notes.

The approaching imperial army, the rain of arrows covering the sky, the cold corpse erected by the imperial army, the roar of killing, the city gate gradually closing... Everything that day turned into a nightmare that tortured him for countless nights .

Jiang Yangui closed his eyes in pain, trembling uncontrollably.

It would be great if he wasn't a useless person, so that my mother wouldn't worry about money, wouldn't go back to Jiang's house, and wouldn't die at the hands of the imperial guards!

He murmured: "It's me who should be damned, I'm a useless person, I can't do anything... It's obviously me who should be damned..."

Jiang Yanyi felt distressed and sad when he saw this mad and absent-minded look, so he slapped him cruelly.

Jiang Yangui's face was turned to one side.

Jiang Yanyi said: "You give me a good life! Live like a human being! What's the use of your death? Can you get your mother back? Or can you let the person who killed your mother die?"

"Sister, I hate it so much! I hate it so much!" Jiang Yangui finally broke down and burst into tears, his fists were clenched tightly, his nails sank into his flesh but he didn't feel any pain.

Why……

Why did he have such a father!

The guard who came back that day said that his mother could have come back, but was held back by Jiang Shangshu!

He really hates it!

Jiang Yanyi watched him cry heart-piercingly, and when tears welled up in the corners of her own eyes, she raised her hand to wipe them away, looked at the sky and said, "If you hate, you have to live better. The more you make yourself miserable, those who want to The person who destroys you is happier. If you are alive, you will have the opportunity to avenge what you deserve, and if you die, you will have nothing."

She didn't know, it was what she said today that made the young man in front of him use all his tricks in the future to sit in the position of being under one person and above ten thousand people.

***

After leaving Chu's new house, Jiang Yanyi was not in a hurry to go back to the store.

There was snow like goose feathers, and she walked aimlessly in the vast white world.

When passing under the eaves of a house with the door closed tightly, she suddenly didn't want to leave, so she sat down on the steps of the door of the shop, hugging her knees with her hands, resting her chin on her arms, and staring at the snow falling all over the sky.

"Do you want to get cold?"

Jiang Yanyi didn't know how long she had been sitting there, but when she was pulled up and wrapped into a warm embrace, she smelled the familiar scent of saponins, and suddenly her nose felt sour, and she shed tears for no reason.

Feng Shuo felt her shoulders trembling, he stroked her back lightly, and said after a moment of silence: "I'm sorry."

As soon as he received the news, he knew that something was wrong, so he rushed over from Xizhou camp.

If his people had been deployed more strictly at that time and hadn't only let the guards of the Chu family guard the carriage nearby, perhaps Mrs. Jiang would not have had the chance to leave the carriage.

Facing his apology, Jiang Yanyi shook his head, but the tears didn't stop.

In these tears, she couldn't tell how much was the instinctive emotion of this body and how much belonged to her sadness.

Just hearing what Mrs. Chu and her uncle said, she seemed to understand why Mrs. Jiang made such a decision.

Uncle Chu and Second Master Chu are still blaming her until now, thinking that she brought these misfortunes to the Chu family, and Mrs. Jiang is probably responsible for being caught between her parents and brothers and sisters-in-law every day.She might have planned early in the morning to exchange her own death for the relief of her natal brother and sister-in-law, and at the same time, for the absolute partiality and love of the two elders of the Chu family for her and Jiang Yangui.

Mrs. Jiang is still there, and the Chu family's helping them is just out of love.With Mrs. Jiang gone, she and Jiang Yangui will be alone and helpless. Whether it is Chu Changping or the two elders of the Chu family, for the sake of the dead Mrs. Jiang, they will only make endless compensations to them.

Mrs. Jiang has been selfish all her life, and all her selflessness is left to her children.

But she didn't know that her real daughter had died a long time ago, and what was in this body now was just a lonely soul from another world, Jiang Yanyi felt guilty.

She was sobbing and sobbing, Feng Shuo frowned even more tightly.

"Don't cry." He doesn't know how to comfort others, the wind and snow are soaking in the cold, but these words that don't sound like comfort have exhausted all the tenderness in his life.

He lived for more than twenty years, and only now did he realize that seeing someone cry really hurts his heart.
