Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 675: Death of Xun Yu

After Xun Yu finished writing the letter, tears immediately rolled down his cheeks.

I hurriedly moved the paper forward a little to prevent my tears from falling on it.

Xun Yu then hid his face between his hands, his whole body shaking like a sieve.

After crying for a long time, Xun Yu raised his head and looked at the paper with bloodshot eyes.

Xun Yu sighed, stopped crying, wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, and blew dry the ink on the paper.

His eyes then fell on the pill that was pressed by the orchid stem. He took a deep breath, held his breath, took out the pill, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.

Smelling the pungent smell, Xun Yu resisted the urge to vomit, slowly stood up, walked to the closet, took out a brand new set of court robes, and put them on.

The abdomen began to ache violently.

A mouthful of black blood flowed out from the corner of Xun Yu's mouth.

His face was filled with fear.

However, he still insisted on stumbling to the bed, tidying up his court clothes, and then slowly lying down on the bed.

Black blood continued to flow out from the corners of his mouth.

Xun Yu's whole body was convulsing due to the severe pain.

With his right hand gripping the edge of the bed, Xun Yu's face became distorted with pain.

Closing his eyes, Xun Yu murmured, "Xun family ancestors are above, and I, as an unworthy descendant, will die to show my determination and not let down the family tradition of our Xun family."

Tang was outside with the children the whole time.

Until late in the afternoon, Tang looked at the room where Xun Yu was with some concern.

At noon, Xun Yu did not come out to eat.

I was wondering whether to call him.

But then I saw a carriage coming slowly.

A thin figure walked down from the carriage.

It was Shangshu Xun You.

Xun You got off the carriage with a gloomy face and walked quickly into the Xun Mansion.

When Tang saw Xun You coming, she hurried over and asked, "Gongda, why are you here?"

Xun You said with a sullen face, "I just got the news that Chen Qun replaced my uncle's position. I came here to ask what happened."

When Tang heard what Xun You said, her face suddenly turned pale.

Although she guessed what happened when Xun Yu came back.

But after hearing what Xun You said, she still felt a little uneasy.

While leading Xun You to Xun Yu's room, Tang said, "My husband came back early this morning, but he didn't say anything, so I didn't dare to ask more."

"He didn't come out for lunch either."

"I was wondering whether to call him."

"I'm afraid he'll be angry."

Xun You waved his hand and said, "I'll do it."

Tang smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Gongda."

The two went straight to Xun Yu's room.

Xun You took a quick step forward and knocked on the door, saying, "Uncle, are you there? I'm coming in."

No one inside responded.

Tang looked at Xun You worriedly.

Xun You didn't hesitate and pushed the door open.

The door opened, but Xun Yu was nowhere to be seen sitting at the desk in the entrance.

However, there were a few pieces of paper on the desk.

Several sheets of paper are divided into three parts.

Tang saw the words "My beloved wife Tang Wan" at a glance.

Tang was startled.

Why are you still writing this at home?

Xun You also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

He walked quickly into the room.

Walking around the screen, I saw Xun Yu lying motionless on the bed.

Xun You breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as people are still here, that's good.

As he walked over, Xun You asked, "Uncle, what happened? How did Chen Qun take your place?"

However, Xun Yu lay on the bed still motionless, without any reaction.

Xun You frowned.

The next moment, his footsteps stopped beside the bed.

His eyes fell on Xun Yu's face.

The originally dignified and handsome face now looked extremely hideous.

Black blood spread from the corner of his mouth to his chest.

Xun You's breathing stopped instantly.

He stretched out his right index finger tremblingly and touched the tip of Xun Yu's nose.

A shrill scream burst out from Xun You's throat.

Xun You squatted on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle! Uncle is dead!"

Xun Yu is dead!
The news quickly spread throughout Xudu.

When the news reached Cao Cao's ears, he was riding a horse in the horse farm accompanied by Xu Chu and other personal soldiers.

Cao Cao put his hands behind his back, watching Xu Chu riding a war horse and performing various moves in the horse field, Cao Cao couldn't stop laughing.

But then I saw a horse galloping towards me.

It’s Xudu Ling Man Chong!

Cao Cao looked at Man Chong running towards him with some surprise.

As the prefect of Xudu and commander-in-chief of the school affairs office, Man Chong rarely left the city of Xudu, let alone came to the horse farm.

Moreover, looking at his anxious look, it seemed that he was coming for me.

Man Chong rode his horse and galloped to Cao Cao's side.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Bo Ning, what's the matter that makes you so anxious?"

Man Chong galloped down from his warhorse, ran to Cao Cao's side, and whispered in his ear, "Bad news has just come from the Xun residence. Lord Xun committed suicide by taking poison and died on his bed."

"He left a last message to you, my lord."

"Minister Xun has collapsed."

Cao Cao froze in place, his mind going blank.

He understood every word.

Putting them together, he didn't understand the meaning at all.

It took him a while to react. His lips trembled slightly as he staggered towards the gate of Xudu.

Xu Chu, who was performing on horseback, shouted to Cao Cao: "My lord, where are you going?"

Man Chong looked at Cao Cao's distraught appearance with an extremely complicated expression.

Leading the warhorse, Man Chong hurriedly followed Cao Cao and whispered, "My lord, get on the horse. I will take you to Xun Mansion."

Only then did Cao Cao stop and look at Man Chong with a dull expression.

Man Chong helped Cao Cao onto his warhorse and carried him directly into the city and to Xun's mansion.

At the gate of Xun Mansion, there was a continuous cry.

Man Chong came running with Cao Cao.

After helping Cao Cao dismount from his horse, Man Chong took Cao Cao into the Xun Mansion.

Xun Yu’s wife, Tang, was standing at the door with several children.

Seeing Cao Cao coming in, several children rushed towards him.

Man Chong shouted, “Stop it!”

Cao Cao came to his senses and saw that Xun Yu’s children were blocked by Man Chong. They were looking at him with bloodshot eyes. Cao Cao’s eyes were a little red.

After a while, he said to Man Chong in a hoarse voice: "They are all children, don't embarrass them."

Tang also caught up at this time.

While shedding big tears, Tang held down the heads of several children, pressed them to the ground, and kowtowed to Cao Cao to apologize and beg for mercy.

Cao Cao wiped his eyes and said, trying hard to hold back his sobs, "Madam, don't worry. Wen Ruo's child is my child. Children's words are innocent. I won't take them to heart."

After saying that, he walked around Tang and the children and went straight to Xun Yu's room.

When they rushed to Xun Yu's room, they saw Xun You standing blankly beside the bed, and several servants were wiping Xun Yu's body and changing him into shrouds.

Cao Cao watched this scene from afar, ran over, knelt down beside the bed, and buried his head in Xun Yu's chest.

Xun You watched this scene, suppressing his grief and anger.

Finally, he tremblingly took out the letter written by Xun Yu to Cao Cao, handed it to Cao Cao and said: "Sikong, this is the letter your uncle wrote to you before he died."

Cao Cao looked at Xun You and his heart suddenly ached.

Sikong?

Before, Xun You always called himself "Lord"!
