He held the iron fork tightly in his hand and stared at the people in front of him.

Xu Huan was extremely angry and wanted to run forward to argue with him, but was pulled back by Qi Zhixuan.

"Ah Huan, after all, this is someone else's home. It's our fault that we barged in rashly. Let's go out first and wait until tomorrow morning to make plans."

"But what should we do about Meilan? She is so seriously ill now. What will happen if she cannot get timely treatment?"

"Ah Huan, Meilan is no longer here. She was already dead when we first entered this village."

After Qi Zhixuan said this, he pulled Xu Huan in front of Song Meilan, took her hand and reached under Song Meilan's nose.

"A Huan, you can feel it yourself, Meilan is no longer breathing."

When he said this, his tone was calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Looking at Xu Huan's collapsed expression, for some reason, he was very curious. If it was him who died today, would she be so sad?

"Get out of here! If you don't leave right away, I'll call the neighbors and kick you out!"

Qi Zhixuan put Song Meilan on his shoulder with one hand, picked up Xu Huan with the other hand, and led her out.

He stared at the darkness around him with his eyes open, leaning against a big tree in a daze.

how could be? How could it become like this? It was obviously fine yesterday.

It was just a rain, why did everything change?

As the sky gradually turned white, the surrounding scenery became clearer and clearer.

Song Meilan lay quietly on the ground, no matter how Xu Huan shouted, there was no response.

After a long time, Xu Huan finally accepted the fact that Meilan was no longer here.

"Let's bury her by the river. She likes to see the beautiful scenery the most..."

Qi Zhixuan nodded but did not speak.

"Dad, you clearly promised me that I would see my mother as soon as possible, but now it has been so long, why is there still no trace of my mother?"

Xu Songchi knelt on the futon in the ancestral hall, and Xu Zongen was close to him, tugging on his sleeves.

Normally, he would not dare to be so bold.

But he missed his mother so much.

"Brother Eng, your mother is Aunt Die. If you want to see her, dad can call you over right away."

Xu Songchi closed his eyes and didn't look directly at him.

At this moment, he himself was in a mess. When exactly did it happen? Why did Liu Baoer die?

"Dad, I don't want Auntie Die! I want my mother! I don't want anyone but my mother!"

Xu Songchi listened to these words over and over again, and his ears could already hear the cocoons.

His patience also has a certain limit.

"If you continue to make a lot of noise in the ancestral hall, I will have you locked up in the woodshed."

Xu Zongen was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth.

The woodshed was dirty, messy, dark and small. He didn't want to go to that place.

Instead of wasting it here, it would be better to go to your aunt-in-law. She protects and loves you so much, and she will definitely find a way for you.

With this thought in mind, he stood up and ran out.

"Zong En, I haven't seen you for some time. If we brothers hadn't come, how long would you have been hiding from us?"

Hu Huanzhi and Zhao Yunting had been waiting in the lobby early. It was really difficult to meet him, the second young master of the Hou Mansion.

Xu Zongen laughed twice and said nothing.

But he was very anxious in his heart. There was no way he could leave these two guests to go find his aunt. If others found out, wouldn't they be talking behind his back about their lack of hospitality in the Marquis's house? "Look what are the two brothers talking about? These days, it's often rainy, and I haven't taken good care of my health for a while. I've had a cold for a while, and my health has only gotten stronger in the past few days. There's no reason to hide from you two. ?”

"It would be best if you don't hide from us. Let's go quickly. Let's go have some more fun while we still have some free time today."

Zhao Yunting rubbed his hands and smiled obscenely.

Although he doesn't win often, he is greedy and fun-loving. I always feel that I can win back all the previous ones in the next round.

Hu Huanzhi also echoed: "Yes, let's go play first and we'll be back soon. Are you scared?"

He said with a smile, walked up to Xu Zongen and nudged him with his elbow.

"Okay, let's go together then, but as we said, we'll just play a few games and then come back."

When I think of the days when I showed off my skills at the gambling table, I feel itchy in my heart.

It's true that he hasn't gambled in a long time.

The money I won before has been almost spent. If my luck is better today, I can earn some more and buy nice clothes for my mother when she comes back.

When he thought of this, he felt much more at ease.

It seemed like he wasn't going out for fun, but for his mother.

When Xu Zongen and the two of them went out together, Xu Hengpu walked out from behind the screen with a book in his hand.

Qi Zhen was also following beside him, "Young Master, the things you told me have been almost done. Is it time to stop?"

Looking at Xu Zongen's depraved appearance, although he didn't like the child, the child was young after all, and he didn't want to ruin his life.

"Let's see in a few days. We'll stop after half a month."

Not for anything else, just because half a month, plus the days he spent gambling before, happened to be the time he spent on raising his legs.

He will never forget how difficult those days were, even those subordinates were talking about him behind his back.

Discussing how long he can hold the position of legitimate son...

Fortunately, his mother loved him and did not give up on him. She even hired the best doctor for him.

If it weren't for his mother, I'm afraid he would still be sitting in a wheelchair.

But his mother was such a good person, so Xu Zongen didn't deserve her mother's protection and love at all.

Of course, he doesn't deserve it either.

"Young Master, you are reading so much day and night, you may hurt your eyes."

Qi Zhen kindly reminded him that he could see how diligent and hardworking the eldest young master was.

It's really hard on this child, the burden on him is so heavy.

"Master Qin sent someone to send me many books yesterday. I can't live up to his high expectations."

As he spoke, he looked down at the book in his hand.

Read it earlier and return it earlier, just because Master Qin will send a new batch not long after returning it.

"I haven't given my mother sunflowers for a long time, and I don't know how my mother is feeling lately."

Xu Hengpu said and put the book in Qi Zhen's hand.

"Let's go, follow me to my mother's place and chat with her for a while."
