Xiao Rui was young and could not fight against Qi Ji, the cunning Qi Ji, and the dispute was fruitless. In the end, Ling'er stayed.

That's right. A real man is not careful about the details. Qi Zhuo expressed his satisfaction with his current affairs and said with a smile: I can't stand this grievance. What battlefield do you still go to fight? For example, how did you get hurt this time? The other party is a woman with no power, and you have martial arts and a few masters around you, but you almost lost your life. What's the reason? It's not your kindness to your woman. If you tie her up directly, you will have nothing left? Now, you've gotten hurt yourself. Even if you can't even go back for the New Year, you feel relieved? And your sister may blame yourself too much. She is unhappy, and that guy Lu Feili is just a slut. Look, it's just because you are alone that everyone can't have a good New Year. Do you think this is a sin?

Listen, is this the attitude towards a patient?

He is really a child of aristocratic families? Why is he so virtuous? Oh, by the way, businessmen are all first-class in eloquence. The black ones can be said to be white, and the white ones can be said to be red.

So Xiao Rui was ashamed of being told by him, and he was full of regret and blamed himself.

So, little brats are little brats, and they want to learn from others to be heroes on the battlefield before they even grow up. Is heroes so easy to be? If you don’t shed some blood, you will become a bear if you don’t pay attention.

I think I am capable after reading a few beautiful articles?

No matter how mature and persistent you are, aren’t you still a half-aged child? How can you grow up if you don’t understand the hardships of life and have never experienced the evils of real human nature?

At this time, fireworks and firecrackers sounded outside.

Xiao Rui turned around in surprise.

Today is New Year's Eve.

Qi Jiu was quite sad. Everyone was reuniting, so we were staring at each other. Alas, let's have the New Year together.

We both?

Xiao Rui looked him up and down, a little confused.

Yes, they are both people who have fallen into the world.

The second young master Qi was deeply touched tonight.

He asked someone to prepare a large table of wine and food. Xiao Rui could not drink, so he drank it alone. In fact, Xiao Rui could not eat a lot of food on the table, so he just made do with a bowl of porridge and dumplings. Qi Jiu didn't eat much, and the table of hearty dishes was wasted.

At the same time, Yancheng Anguo Duke's Mansion.

This was the first year after Ji Wan got married. It was originally a time for reunion and reunion, but because she was worried about Xiao Rui, who was far away in Feng County, she was in a heavy mood and didn't even laugh much.

Xiao Rui grew up with Jin Zun and Yugui since childhood. Even in the military camp, he suffered a little worse and did not suffer much. This time he suffered a great disaster and had no relatives to accompany him during the Chinese New Year. He must be very lonely.

Ji Wan always treats Xiao Rui as a child.

How painful is it to suffer such a serious injury? No one can empathize with it. The guard who came back to send the message was only a few words, but when Yu's knife stabbed into his chest, it would be very dangerous.

She was worried about Xiao Rui's injuries.

In a mixed room in the Duke's Mansion, Yu was tied up in a large variety of colours and leaned against the wooden cabinet in a weak manner. The window was only a crack, and through the window paper, he could vaguely see snow falling outside.

Since she was taken to the Duke's Mansion that day, she has been locked up in this room. She has never seen anyone except the maid who regularly delivers food and clothing. Even Ji Wan, she hasn't seen him even once.

Ji Wan hated Yu Shi very much now. She didn't promise that if she saw Yu Shi, she would give the woman a knife impulse, so she simply disappeared. She said that she would not let Yu Shi die, but would only make her suffer. She only had two meals a day, and only had a meal of meat for three days, and there were not a few slices of meat.

Will be hungry, but not die.

At first, Yu struggled and shouted, but after being stuffed with rags a few times, she didn't dare to scream anymore.

She heard the maids' private comments.

Who is this woman? She doesn't look like an ordinary person.

Shush, don't ask. The prince said that he was not allowed to ask about her identity and origin. Just look at her. Don't ask anything else, be careful that the disaster comes from the mouth.

As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public, so Ji Wan naturally would not let these maids know Yu's identity.

Yu pays attention to decency the most, but now he is so embarrassed, and he will not report to his family that the lowly maids will despise and insult.

She still has expectations.

When he returned to the capital, the Xiao family could not kill her silently. The Xiao family dared not announce the reasons for being open and upright.

At that time, my mother will definitely save her.

In the Xiao Mansion in the capital, after the dinner, the younger generations built snowmen in the yard to guess riddles, and the elders spoke with Mrs. Xiao in Rong'an Hall.

I don’t know how Arie is in Yancheng. Old Mrs. Xiao sighed. I thought the war would end before the New Year and we could have a reunion year. Who would have thought

Mother, don't worry.

Xiao Shi said in a gentle voice: Didn’t Awan write a letter saying that Arui had left the military camp and lived in the Duke’s Mansion? He must have been having the New Year’s Eve dinner at this time. He will be back when the spring is coming next year.

He has never left the capital since he was a child. The climate in the north is severe and I don’t know if he can adapt.

Since Xiao Rui left, Mrs. Xiao would always say this, and her heart and eyes were filled with worries and sorrow.

I don’t know why, but recently she is always restless and can’t sleep well. At night, she dreamed that Changsun was lying on the ground with blood on her body. She was so scared that she locked herself in the Buddhist temple the next day that she recited the sutras all day.

Their relatives were relatives, and Mrs. Xiao was worried about her grandson outside, and it was useless to persuade her. Mr. Xiao didn't say anything. Since the news came from Luoyang that Yu had escaped, he had been depressed and unhappy.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.

I shouldn't have given Yu a chance at the beginning.

He was full of worries. When he went back, he saw his son standing alone in the yard halfway and said: An An, why are you standing here?

Xiao An turned around and called out to Dad, saying: I just remembered my mother.

Master Xiao San said nothing.

He had not told the two children about Yu's escape, nor did he intend to tell them.

father.

Xiao An paused. I knew my mother had done something wrong, but she was my mother. She gave birth to me and raised me, and her kindness was higher than the sky. Today is New Year's Eve, and we were having the New Year's Eve dinner here, and we were happy, but she was alone in Luoyang, and the child felt uncomfortable.

Mr. Xiao patted his shoulder, I know.

Xiao An didn't want to plead for his biological mother, but on such a day, he could not help but feel something.

Dad, after the New Year, I want to take Shu'er to Luoyang to visit my mother.

He looked up at his father, okay?

It is natural for the son to miss his mother and want to visit him. Mr. Xiao thought that Yu should have been found at that time, so he nodded, OK.

Xiao An said happily with his eyes and said: Thank you dad.

Mr. Xiao had just agreed to his son. Not long after, a letter came from the north, which was written by Xiao Rui. Before Xiao Shi could finish reading the contents of the letter, he stood up with a pale face.

What's wrong?

Zhou was feeding his two young sons with the wet nurse. Unexpectedly, he saw that he changed color and looked over curiously. After seeing this, the porcelain bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a thump. The crisp and harsh sound scared Xiao Lang and Xiao Yu, and then the two brothers burst into tears in a tacit understanding.

Zhou was busy coaxing his son again.

Xiao Shi pinched the letter, his thin lips pursed tightly, and his gentle eyes gathered a thick storm.

In the letter, Xiao Rui told his father everything without any concealment, and said that he would personally send Yu back to Beijing at the end of the month and return home around the end of February.

I don't tell my mother about this for the time being.

Zhou coaxed her son and asked the wet nurse to take her out, and then she said: She is old and can't stand the stimulation, so she will talk about everything when Ari comes back.

If Mrs. Xiao knew that the eldest grandson was almost dead at the hands of her daughter-in-law, she would be very angry.

The third brother

Xiao Rui wants to take Yu back to Beijing, so this matter will definitely not be as easy as before. As Yu's husband, Master Xiao San must be mentally prepared.

Now that things have come to this point, it would be a joke that would be a joke.

Xiao Shi went to find Mr. Xiao San with the letter.

Master Xiao San was trembling with his hands, his face was blue and white, and he was furious.

She dares

Third brother.

Xiao Shi said indifferently: I shouldn't have asked about the affairs between you and your wife. But Ari almost died and I will not tolerate her anyway. I know that you have taken into account the future of An An and Shu'er. They are also my nephews and nieces, and I will not take their anger on them. After Ari brings his brother and sister back, we will close the door and make a break.

He was willing to call Yu a younger brother and sister because of his brotherhood with Mr. Xiao.

It would be strange if he could endure the hatred of killing him.

Mr. Xiao naturally understood his mood and naturally would not raise objections. He only depends on his brother's disposal.

He was completely disappointed with Yu and no longer had any relationship between husband and wife. Just thinking of his legitimate children, Mr. Xiao felt a little painful in his heart.

He sat alone in the study for a long time and went to his eldest son's yard in the afternoon.

An'an, you don't have to go to Luoyang anymore, your mother will return to Beijing soon.

Xiao An looked at his father in shock, and the joy disappeared in his father's heavy eyes, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Dad, what happened?

Mr. Xiao looked sore and angry. Your mother is now a murderer.

Xiao An's pupils widened and said incredibly: Dad, what are you talking about? How could she kill someone?

Mr. Xiao couldn't bear it, but he still had to explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly.

Xiao An fell to the chair with a dull look as if he was lost.

Master Xiao San didn't know how to comfort his son, but at this time, everything he said seemed too pale.
