This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 448 Going Home
Between the side halls.

My aunt sat on the bed without saying a word. She stared blankly at the window not far away. Her face was extremely pale, but in this autumn season, she was already covered with a quilt.

"Ma'am, please eat something."

The little maidservant beside her looked at her aunt with a worried look on her face. She held a bowl of lotus porridge in her hand. Seeing her aunt's dying appearance, the maidservant was quite anxious:

"Master, you are a lucky person. Nothing will happen to you. Besides, Pei Yinlang is the young master's official. Those people will not dare to disrespect you."

The words are full of comfort.

After hearing this, a bitter look flashed across my aunt's numb face. She just sighed, turned her head and said weakly:

"I'm not hungry."

How can she eat now?
In just less than a month, my aunt lost a lot of weight. Her usually round face was now skin and bones, her lips were dry and full of cracks, and her mouth was dry, but she had no desire to eat.

"Please eat something."

Seeing her aunt like this, the little maid was so anxious that she burst into tears. She put the bowl in her hand on the table and knelt on the ground with a plop:

"Madam, if the master comes back and sees you like this, he will definitely be angry with me and blame me for not taking good care of you..."

When my aunt heard the maid's desperate plea, she looked at her with numb eyes and sighed:

"Get up, I'll eat something."

Now my aunt still has a glimmer of hope in her heart.

She looked hesitantly at the empty entrance. The figure that had accompanied her day and night could no longer be seen.

With a dim look in her eyes, my aunt gently opened her mouth and took a bite of the spoon handed to her by the maid.

This feeling of chewing wax has been experienced every day these days, and my aunt has become accustomed to it.

After she swallowed the food on the spoon, she felt that she couldn't eat any more. She looked at the maid and said:
"Okay, I've finished eating, go down and leave me alone."

He waved his arms weakly, trying to send the maid away.

"Ah."

The maid opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but after meeting her aunt's numb eyes, she sighed in her heart and slowly walked towards the door with the plate.

After the maid left, the sun was already setting.

The setting sun shone through the window onto my aunt, revealing a sense of helplessness as the sun sets.

Numbness and pain are fully reflected in my aunt.

However, at this moment, the maid who had just left the house screamed outside the house:
"ah!!"

Then came the sound of porcelain falling to the ground.

"Clap~"

My aunt was indifferent when she heard the voice.

On normal days, she might have complained about the maid's recklessness, but now she turned a deaf ear to her and continued to stare blankly at the curtain in front of the bed.

"Master?!! You are back??!"

The maid's next surprised tone made my aunt, who was lying on the bed, look dazed.

Just laugh at yourself.

As I get older, my hallucinations have become so obvious.

She had fantasized about this voice more than once these days, but each time it turned out to be a dream and then was shattered.

"Not only am I back, Yixing is back too, where's Madam?"

"Inside the room." The maid quickly pointed inside the room.

Hearing this conversation, my aunt was stunned at first, and then she looked suddenly towards the door.

It was visibly clear that my aunt's eyes were filled with hope, hoping that what she had just heard was not a dream.

The sound of footsteps came.

My aunt pursed her lips tightly and stared at the door.

Until my uncle appeared in front of my aunt.

The moment he saw his uncle, his eyes turned red visibly, and his trembling lips made him unable to utter all the words he wanted to say.

After a long time, thousands of words converged into three words:
"came back……"

When my uncle saw the look on my aunt’s face as she lay on the bed, he felt a sudden pain in his heart.

My aunt has been with me for so many years, and she has never been wronged like this...

"came back."

My uncle was silent for a long time and replied with three words:

Then he slowly came to his aunt's bed and sat down, reaching out his hand and gently rubbing his aunt's face.

"Thin."

Seeing my uncle's face and feeling the warmth on it, my aunt couldn't say a word and just kept crying.

Lu Yuanzhi, who was standing at the door, saw this scene with a faint smile on his face.

But my heart was already cold.

He now had only one thought in his mind.

It’s just four simple words.

Massacre.

They must be killed. Those who are killed will learn their lesson and be terrified.

I grew up with my aunt, and she brought me up all by herself.

She didn't even give birth to him but raised him. This kind of kindness, Lu Yuanzhi will never be able to repay it in his entire life!

In his memory, his aunt had always been gentle. No matter what happened, she always did things in an orderly manner and faced everything with a smile.

This was the first time he saw his aunt cry like this.

So thin.

"Yixing is back too."

My uncle seemed to have thought of something and moved his body so that my aunt could see Lu Yuanzhi clearly.

"Alright..."

My aunt looked towards the door, and when her eyes fell on Lu Yuanzhi, tears welled up in her eyes again:

"Yixing, come quickly and let your aunt take a good look."

The voice is haggard and hoarse.

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this voice, he felt a sudden pain in his heart.

He slowly came to his aunt, squatted down, and put his aunt's hand on his face.

"You weren't injured on the battlefield, were you? That demon king...didn't hurt you..."

My aunt carefully stroked Lu Yuanzhi's face and wanted to reach out to turn over Lu Yuanzhi's clothes to check.

Lu Yuanzhi did not stop him, but just smiled and shook his head:
"No, my cultivation is now at the highest level. No one can hurt me, no one."

"That's good, that's good..."

My aunt breathed a sigh of relief, but her body suddenly shook, and she felt the scene in front of her slowly turn dark...

"Madam!" my uncle suddenly shouted.

Lu Yuanzhi frowned, reached out and gently pinched his aunt's wrist, then passed in his own breath.

After a long time, Lu Yuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at his uncle and said comfortingly:
"It's okay. Auntie is just suddenly sad, and then happy again. She is a little tired from the great joy and sorrow. I'll go back and ask the doctor to prescribe two warm tonic prescriptions."

The uncle finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when Lu Yuanzhi interrupted him softly:

"Let aunt have a good rest and keep your voice down."

"Oh, okay, okay."

My uncle's voice also became softer. He looked at my aunt who was sleeping peacefully, and a look of guilt flashed across his face.

However, at this moment, a cry of surprise came from the door:
"mother!!!"

Lu Yuanzhi and his uncle both looked towards the door with unfriendly expressions.

Hai Wuyang was panting as he looked at his aunt on the bed, his face full of panic:

"How are you, mother?!"

"Shut up!" Lu Yuanzhi cursed coldly.

"Evil creature!" My uncle's voice also rang out at the same time.

After saying that, the uncle and Lu Yuanzhi looked at each other, then stood up and walked towards the door. After closing the door gently, the uncle looked at Hai Wuyang coldly without saying a word.

Lu Yuanzhi crossed his arms as if he was watching a show.

Hai Wuyang pretended to be indifferent and looked at his uncle:

"How is father these days?"

"Heh." My uncle just smiled coldly and activated his death stare.

The atmosphere was a little mysterious for a moment.

"hehe."

Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Hai Wuyang smiled awkwardly, then turned around slowly and pretended to be cool:
"This time, the battle in the border town has really benefited me a lot. I want to go to the academy to report to my teacher. So, I'll say goodbye now."

Having said that, he wanted to take a step forward.

I only heard my uncle say coldly:

"Someone, please ask the family law to come."

"Yes!"

After hearing what my uncle said, a servant turned around and headed towards the ancestral hall.

When Hai Wuyang heard this, he took even bigger steps:

"I won't be back for dinner tonight."

After saying that, he wanted to speak directly: "Soldiers are precious..."

"Don't walk so fast."

Lu Yuanzhi pulled his arm with a playful smile on his face:
"What? Are you scared now? Back in the barracks, I scolded you like a bastard, but you weren't scared at all!"

Hai Wuyang felt a little numb on his scalp for a moment. I took a deep breath and looked at Lu Yuanzhi expressionlessly:
"Brother, I do have something to do today, let me go first."

"Don't let him go!!"

At this time, my uncle had already taken a stick as thick as his arm from the servant and was slowly coming over here.

Lu Yuanzhi just shrugged his shoulders and said lightly:

"What must come will come."

"Bang!!"

"what!!!"

……

After coming out of his uncle's mansion, Lu Yuanzhi's gaze turned towards his own Duke of Beiguo Mansion.

The images of Changle and Bai Qingying flashed through his mind. His heart felt warm and he could no longer hold back. He soared into the air and flew towards home with all his strength.

It flew across the sky and landed directly in his own mansion.

"Who?" An old figure suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yuanzhi.

When he saw Lu Yuanzhi's face, his alertness instantly turned into astonishment: "Mr. Duke?"

Lu Yuanzhi turned around indifferently.

"Eagle show?"

"My subordinate is here."

Ying Xian was a fourth-rank expert brought from the Demon Cult by Xian Ling'er that day.

"Before I left, I asked you to protect Changle and Qingying. Is this how you protect them?"

There was no emotion in Lu Yuanzhi's voice.

"Puff~" Ying Xian knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and his head smashed the ground directly, leaving a small hole:
"I am guilty of a crime that deserves death. Please punish me, Duke!"

Ying Xian also knew that it was useless to say anything at this time.

He hid in the mansion, secretly protecting Changle and Bai Qingying, but after Bai Qingying left the mansion, he could not split himself. After weighing the pros and cons, he could only choose to focus on protecting Princess Changle.

In his heart, Changle's life is much more important and precious than Bai Qingying's life.

"Humph."

Lu Yuanzhi snorted coldly. He could understand why it was so, but he had to punish the mistake. He said calmly:
"Go to Pei Yin Lang and receive thirty sticks."

"Yes!"

Ying Xian said nothing. He stood up and slowly walked out of the mansion.

……

After Ying Xian left, Lu Yuanzhi's figure flashed and he came to a small courtyard.

Seeing this small courtyard, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were gentle.

At this time, the courtyard was surrounded by people.

From time to time, Bai Qingying's weak voice and the doctor's diagnosis voice could be heard in the room.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't say anything nonsense, but just walked slowly towards the yard.

"Husband?!"

When Changle, who had just come out of the house, saw Lu Yuanzhi's figure, he trembled suddenly.

"how's it going?"

After seeing Changle's bulging belly, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes flashed with tenderness. He walked forward gently, looked into the room and asked.

"Sister Bai is having a miscarriage..." When Changle said this, a trace of self-blame flashed across his face:
"It's all my fault. I asked Bai Meizi to ask Pei Yinlang for the letter. If it weren't for me, Bai Meizi wouldn't have suffered this accident..."

"It's all over." Lu Yuanzhi sighed and gently stroked Changle's head. He looked at the room and said slowly:
"You don't have to blame yourself too much. Let me take a look first."

"Ah."

Changle followed Lu Yuanzhi and went in.

When Lu Yuanzhi saw Bai Qingying lying on the bed, the murderous intent in his heart could no longer be hidden.

At this time, Bai Qingying's face was pale and her abdomen was shaking constantly. Although the bleeding between her waist and legs had been stopped, the bloodstains were still very obvious.

Seeing this, Lu Yuanzhi felt extremely distressed. He walked over and sat next to Bai Qingying:
"Qingying..."

When Bai Qingying heard Lu Yuanzhi's voice, her face was filled with guilt. She murmured:
"Yixing... the child... may not be saved."

After saying this, tears could no longer be stopped from flowing from the corners of her eyes.

"It's okay, just take good care of yourself."

Seeing the guilt on Bai Qingying's face, Lu Yuanzhi felt even more distressed. He gently grasped Bai Qingying's hand and said gently:

"As long as you're okay, the child doesn't matter. You can have another one later."

"Alright, Qingying, I'm sorry."

Bai Qingying felt extremely painful when she heard Lu Yuanzhi's comfort, and her eyes were already blurred by tears.

"It is your husband who is sorry for you. Don't blame yourself."

Lu Yuanzhi gently lifted the hair from her face, held her face gently and said:
"As long as you take care of yourself, I will agree to anything you ask for."

Bai Qingying just kept crying.

Half a day later, Bai Qingying was probably tired of crying, so she slowly lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Lu Yuanzhi gently supported Changle and the other person out of the house. At this time, Lu Yuanzhi looked at the doctor calmly and asked:

"How is Qingying's health?"

The doctor hesitated for a moment. He naturally knew how noble the man in front of him was, and said carefully:

"It's a miscarriage. I can only take some medicine to protect the pregnancy. As for whether it will work, I don't know."

"Ah."

After Lu Yuanzhi sent the doctor away, he looked at Changle and asked:

"Why not let the imperial physician come?"

Changle shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"I don't know who the imperial doctors in the palace belong to, so I don't dare."

"Ah."

Lu Yuanzhi said softly: "You don't have to wait for me to come back tonight, I need to go out for a while."

"Where are we going?" Even though Changle had prepared herself mentally, she was still a little worried and held Lu Yuanzhi's hand tightly.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Lu Yuanzhi just smiled comfortingly and patted Changle's jade hand.
