Chapter 179 Bone and Blood
"Son." Mrs. Xiao half-kneeled in front of Shen Zhan, staring at his face, "Tell me, how are you and Lu Yanqing doing?"

Shen Zhan stopped what he was doing and turned to look at him. He was not excited, not even happy, and said calmly, "I have nothing to do with her. I have been with her since I can remember. , calling her mother. The only thing she told me was that there are many brothers in my family, and I rank eighth!"

That time seemed to be the New Year's Eve when he was seven or eight years old. It was a rare time for Lu Shi to get drunk. Looking at him, he smiled and said, "Want to know who your father is?"

He couldn't remember exactly how he replied at that time, but he only remembered Lu Shi saying: "You have many brothers, and you are ranked eighth."

Many bros.These were words he remembered well.

There are many brothers, so I will not be lonely anymore.But he didn't ask further, because he really didn't care, and he also knew that Mrs. Lu would not continue talking.

Sure enough, she turned the table and walked away laughing.

He didn't stay either, he left home on the night of New Year's Eve, and stayed under someone else's roof for the night.

"Eight?" Mrs. Xiao's face was pale, she seemed to be surprised or happy, she grabbed Shen Zhan's hand, and looked back at Xiao Shan, "Brother Shan, our children are ranked eighth, right?"

Although Xiao Shan was the eldest son, but because he inherited the Jiedushi, and fought with Mrs. Xiao for many years in order to protect himself during the war, he gave birth to his only child after all his younger brothers had children.

Ranked eighth?Xiao Shan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Indeed!"

"That's it, that's it." Mrs. Xiao grabbed Shen Zhan, as if she was afraid that he would fly away in the next moment, and held it tightly, "You are, it must be, Lu Yanqing's son is older than you Three years old, and when her son was lost, I knew."

Mrs. Xiao thought about it, her face seemed to be many years younger all of a sudden, she cried and smiled, and hugged Shen Zhan, "My son... Mother has been looking for you so hard. Mother's greatest wish in this life is to find you Even if I can see you just once before I die, know what you look like, and know how you are doing, I will die without regret."

Xiao Shan listened and turned his face away.

Indeed, even if they die now, the husband and wife are worth it now.

Shen Zhan frowned, and looked at Su Wanru with a look of bewilderment in his eyes.

He didn't get along with his mother peacefully, so Mrs. Xiao was like this, which made him at a loss. He couldn't beat him, scold him, or refuse him, but he didn't know what to say or how to answer her.Su Wanru hurriedly wiped away her tears and ran over to help Mrs. Xiao, "You are not in good health, so don't get too excited. If Shen Zhan is really your child, the future will be long. If you have something to say, you can speak slowly."

"Yes, yes." Mrs. Xiao said yes several times in a row, "We can't scare him anymore, he is the one who suffers the most now."

Although she said so, she kept holding Shen Zhan's arm with her hand, unwilling to let go, and stared at him, as if she wanted to engrave Shen Zhan in her mind.

Shen Zhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"May I ask a question." Su Wanru said, "What's the relationship between you and Mrs. Lu?"

Su Wanru thought that they might be sisters or members of the clan, but if they were members of the clan, why did Xiao Shan go to destroy the Jiang clan, and why did Mrs. Xiao say that they did a lot of evil.

Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a moment, looked back at Xiao Shan, then looked at Shen Zhan, smiled wistfully, and said: "This matter is a bit complicated... Back then, my uncle went to the mountain to cut firewood and disappeared in the mountain. A few days later Afterwards, he came back suddenly...he came back with a hatchet, killed the whole family, and then he disappeared."

"My grandparents happened to live in his house at the time, and they also suffered. My father passed away within a few years before he got sick. People outside said that he was seduced by a monster from the Jiang family. , so he abandoned his wife and son and joined the Jiang clan."

"I have always been worried about it, and I have always wanted to find the Jiang family. And it has been reported that the Jiang people continue to seduce people who entered the mountain. Their clan rules are very domineering. As long as they enter their clan, they are theirs. They can’t escape from life to life. They also have a very weird spell that can make people forget old love, no matter what kind of love it is.”

"Those foreigners either go in and never come out, or kill their lovers and family members after they come out, and then go back." Mrs. Xiao said: "Finally, one day I found their village, and that was the day I met them." Lu Yanqing even met my uncle. After my uncle entered the village, he married a woman and gave birth to three children. They took the mother's family name, and Lu Yanqing is the youngest daughter."

"Instead of persuading my uncle, I almost died there. I escaped desperately and was rescued by our master in the mountains." Mrs. Xiao said with disgust in her tone, the kind of disgust that went deep into the flesh and blood, "Later My master and I are married, our family and country are in chaos, and there are many things in our Chengdu manor, and we have no time to take care of them for many years."

"It wasn't until after the Yuan people were expelled and the Chengdu government settled down that we noticed the Jiang clan, but we didn't expect that they had developed into a huge village in the past few years, and the murders that happened indirectly by them happened in the Yamen's office. On the desk, it is half a foot high."

"The family extermination cases are outrageous." Mrs. Xiao said: "Master and I led the troops to the village of the Jiang clan. At this time, their village has already occupied half of the mountain. There is nothing to discuss about this matter. They handed over the murderer, and then promised not to cause chaos again. But after a few words, they started. Almost everyone in the Jiang tribe practiced martial arts, although they may not be peerless masters, men, women, old and young can kill with weapons."

"They are a group of vicious gangsters. Since they are gangsters, they can't stay." Mrs. Xiao said, "That battle was quite tragic. They resisted to the death with countless casualties, and our casualties were not small." Madam Xiao said, looking at Su Wanru, "We don't regret killing those people, even if the other party is just a child, because even if it is a child, it is still a monster."

Su Wanru was stunned, from Madam Xiao's words, the other party really looked like a group of monsters.

How could such a tribe exist.

"Then why does Mrs. Lu have a personal enmity with you?" Su Wanru thought that extermination of the clan should be a big enmity, either your death or my death. With Lu's character, since he can sneak into the delivery room, he should kill Mrs. Xiao and her husband. Boy, this is revenge.

It took her more than 20 years to arrest the children, and then let their father and son kill each other. This approach is too incomprehensible.

"However, they were defeated. Lu Yanqing brought the child along with my uncle to recognize my cousin." Mrs. Xiao smiled and said: "Both my master and I feel that this recognition of relatives is an example and an attitude. As long as they live in peace, we can let the past go. So we let them live at home."

"One time they followed us to the street, such a small child, only...only two years old?" Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Shan, and Xiao Shan answered, "Walk with a toddler."

Mrs. Xiao nodded, "It disappeared in a blink of an eye. She thought that I lost her child, and she had a big fight with me like crazy, and looked for it everywhere. Later, I heard that she fell off a cliff. died."

"My uncle also passed away, so I didn't think about it any more. Who knows... who knew that not only did she not die, but she also held a grudge and stole my child when I passed out after giving birth."

Mrs. Xiao said, covering her face and crying again. Every time she thinks about the past 20 years, it is like hell, and she is in pain.

"I killed my child." Mrs. Xiao cried, and looked at Shen Zhan lovingly: "I never regret what I do, but at this moment I regret it very much. I shouldn't have taken them in back then."

"Ma'am, your body is important." Su Wanru stroked Madam Xiao's back, "She is narrow-minded, and she believes that you deliberately lost her child. It is hard to change it with a few words. It's over, so you can relax."

Mrs. Xiao nodded, and smiled with Su Wanru, "Thank you Miss Su, I'm fine, I'm just so happy, I feel like I'm dreaming, it's not real."

"Let someone clean up this place first." Xiao Shan looked at the corpses of Lu Shi and Xiao Hanqing, frowned slightly and asked Shen Zhan, "What do you plan to do with these two people?"

Shen Zhan said: "Mr. Lu, I plan to send her back to the mountain for burial. As for Xiao Hanqing..." He paused and looked at Su Wanru.

Su Wanru glanced at the room over there, and said in a low voice: "Zhao Zhongyuan is about to wake up, ask him what he means."

"Alright." Xiao Shan said: "Then move the corpse to the outer courtyard and park it first, everyone go to rest first, and we can talk about it after dawn."

Everyone has no objection.

Several guards of the Xiao family came with stretchers and carried the two corpses away. Su Wanru looked at Shen Zhan and said in a low voice, "Go and rest for a while?"

"Are you tired?" Shen Zhan clutched her hand. It was cold at the end of July, but it was cooler here than Yanjing, so after squatting all night, her hands and feet were already cold.

Su Wanru said, "I'm fine, but I have something to say to you and my brother."

"Well, let's go back to the inn first." Shen Zhan pulled her up, and Mrs. Xiao had already said, "No, no, you just stay at home. The master and I live in such a big yard. You just keep it and don't care." How many people can live there, really."

Her tone was not sincere, but pleading, and she looked at Shen Zhan eagerly.

This place is better than an inn, Shen Zhan looked at Su Wanru and asked, "What do you think?"

"Then disturb Master Xiao and Madam." Su Wanru smiled, and said sweetly: "We have something to say tomorrow, Madam, go to rest, otherwise you won't be able to talk to us tomorrow."

Mrs. Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, nodded her head, and ordered people, "Caiying, Caiying, hurry up and take someone to clean up the yard, young master...Young master lives in his yard, have you cleaned it up yet?" "

"Forget it, I'll go and see for myself. I remember that the bedding on his bed was changed last month. The color is too bright, and the young master definitely doesn't like it. You need to change it to a dark one." Mrs. Xiao muttered and pulled her away. Close to her mother's hand, her face was full of joy.

"Ma'am," Liu's mother said, "when the servant saw this posture, he hurriedly took someone to clean it up. Thinking that Lord Hou would not like bright ones, I took the indigo bed that you made last year, covered with a bed They were all changed, they were all clean, and even the bottom of the bed was wiped by the servants themselves." She said with a smile, but tears kept falling down, wiped and fell again, seeing everyone embarrassed, she just kept grinning. smiling.

Mrs. Xiao nodded, wiped her face with her hands, looked back at Shen Zhan and Su Wanru expectantly, and said cautiously: "You... you live there, okay, you've cleaned everything up, really."

"Okay, okay." Su Wanru nodded, "Thank you Madam, thank you Mom."

A master and a servant shook their heads and said no.

Xiao Shan watched quietly all the time, with his hands behind his back and no expression on his face, "We'll send you to where you live."

"Yes, it's getting late, go to rest." Mrs. Xiao said, and said to Liu's mother: "Have someone cook supper, boil hot water, and prepare a change of clothes."

The yard came alive all of a sudden, and the servants in the house didn't take a break, they hurried to work, it was like the water that had been dead for a long time, suddenly let go of the upstream gate, the water suddenly came alive, tumbling, very lively, Full of anger.

Su Wanru held Shen Zhan's hand, tugged, "Let's go." Then she called Su Ji, "Second brother, let's go, I'm so hungry."

"Okay, let's go eat." Su Ji smiled, "You guys go first, I'll go and see Mei Ziqing."

Su Wanru nodded, and followed Mrs. Xiao to his yard with Shen Zhan.

In the courtyard, Xiao Shan was still standing, looking at his back gradually going away, he was tall and generous, making people feel very safe...

This is his son.

Xiao Shan turned around and strode away, faster and faster, at the end he almost ran, pushed open the door of the study and went in, the dark servant inside wanted to follow in and light the lamp, but he shut the door.

In the dark room, Xiao Shan walked back and forth, his hands trembling uncontrollably, for 22 years... He did so much, but in fact it was all to comfort Mrs. Xiao, he thought their child was gone long ago.

But now, that child appeared in front of him properly.

He did not expect that this was a surprise, the biggest surprise he had ever received in his life.

Xiao Shan walked back and forth, spinning like a spinning top, suddenly covered his face and turned towards the door, kowtowed three times, and said: "Father, mother, your grandson is back!"

His flesh and blood came back, Xiao Shan smiled, smiled sullenly, kneeling on the ground and laughing, he lay down on the ground when he was tired from laughing, the cool floor made him wake up for a moment, this sobriety could not calm him down, but It is to tell him that at this moment, he is not dreaming, but is real.

His son was there, within reach of his hand.

The courtyard has no name, and there is an empty plaque hanging on it. The walls of the courtyard are covered with blue plants, under the light of more than a dozen lanterns, they are full of vitality. Su Wanru secretly marvels, but is deeply moved.

"Wait...wait for you to pick it up. Master and I don't know that you like names, so we don't dare to pick names rashly." Mrs. Xiao introduced with some embarrassment.

Hanging an empty plaque is always bad.

Su Wanru came over and took her arm, smiling.

Shen Zhan followed behind and entered the door. It was a large courtyard with a covered courtyard. There were three rooms in the front and three rooms in the back. It is paved with bluestone slabs, and in this autumn, the ground is so bright and clean that not a single fallen leaf or dead grass can be seen.

"That's the bedroom." Mrs. Xiao pointed to the bedroom. Mother Liu had already opened the door. There were four or five lights in the bedroom, bright as day, allowing people to see every place clearly.

Tables, chairs, benches, and dressing tables are actually very contradictory, because this room is gender-neutral.

Except for the bedding that was just changed on the bed, it seems to be for a man.

Su Wanru's eyes were red, and she felt distressed and helpless. Even boys and girls didn't know about the loss of the child, so when decorating the room, gender was not distinguished.

"Comb... I'll let someone move the dressing table." Mrs. Xiao said, "I'll move..."

Mother Liu held her back, and said in a low voice, "Ma'am, don't worry." As she spoke, she looked at Su Wanru.

Mrs. Xiao suddenly realized and laughed, that's right, Shen Zhan and Su Wanru are a couple, he said they are going to get married.

This dresser is ready to use.

That's not right, if you want to get married, everything here has to be replaced with new ones, Mrs. Xiao said: "Move... just move it away, and buy a new one another day, I'll call someone to come and see it in a few days, and replace everything with new ones. new."

"No, no need." Su Wanru stopped, "It doesn't take up space, let's talk about it tomorrow."

In such a short period of time, Mrs. Xiao has already noticed that Shen Zhan listens to Su Wanru on big and small matters, and she does what she says.Mrs. Xiao nodded, "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Ma'am, is the midnight snack here or in the front yard?" the woman asked through the door.

Mrs. Xiao looked at Shen Zhan, "Why don't you go to the front to eat, there are tables in the banquet room."

Shen Zhan glanced at Su Wanru and nodded, "Okay."

The group of people went to the banquet room again. Inside was the Duobao Pavilion, and there were all kinds of treasures on the shelves. They were neatly arranged. A whole table.

"Mr. Su and Mr. Mei ate there, and the patient is still awake." said the woman who brought the meal.

Su Wanru nodded, "Then let them stay there." Su Ji felt that his status was special, and it would not be appropriate for Xiao Shan and the others to get in touch with them too much.

After all, irrelevant people, they can do whatever they want, but once they become relatives, they will not be so quick to do things.

"Eat, eat." Mrs. Xiao took the bowl herself, filled a bowl of chicken soup for each of the two people, and handed over two steamed buns. People here don't eat steamed buns, and these steamed buns are freshly steamed, because they I heard that Zhennan Hou likes to eat steamed buns, and he can eat seven or eight in one meal.

Mrs. Xiao didn't eat either, she just sat at the table and looked at Shen Zhan, from eyebrows, eyes, nose to mouth, she copied it carefully, watching and smiling, Shen Zhan ate a steamed bun and drank a bowl of soup, watching the dishes on the table crumpled. frowned.

"Aren't you going to eat it? I only ate one." Mrs. Xiao said, "Isn't it delicious? Then I'll make it for you what you want to eat."

Shen Zhan shook his head, "I'm full." He didn't have the habit of eating late at night, so he ate a steamed bun because he was with Su Wanru and she didn't eat at night.

"We are all full." Su Wanru said with a smile: "Besides, it will be dawn in a while, and we will have breakfast again."

Mrs. Xiao answered with a smile. She asked people to serve tea and clear the table. She was busy walking around the room, "Is this dress new? Is it a little too small? I didn't expect him to be so tall... How about Let him wear the master's, they are about the same size as father and son."

"Miss Su's fits just right."

Mrs. Xiao was thinking about it, picking out clothes next door. Su Wanru and Shen Zhan said: "She must have several sets of clothes a year. She estimated the child's height and size, made them and hung them in the room. I don't know the gender, so the clothes of both men and women are different." Have."

"I didn't expect that I would take advantage of it." Su Wanru covered her face and smiled.

Shen Zhan held her hand and said in a deep voice, "You don't mind?"

"I'm very happy." Su Wanru held his face, kissed him, and said softly, "I'm very happy. If they are really your parents, I'd wake up laughing from my dreams. You have suffered so much for so many years, and finally It is a great thing to have an elder who loves you and is willing to put you in the palm of his hand. I don't mind, I am only happy."

"Wanwan," he sighed, and said helplessly, "I haven't thought about this. But if you're happy, the parents think it's worth it."

Su Wanru also has no parents, and now they have two more elders, which is a good thing, and it is also for her.

"Yeah." Su Wanru hugged him and leaned into his arms, "It's great, I'll be called by my parents again in the future."

Shen Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "It's my parents."

"It's mine too." Su Wanru looked up at him, squinted her eyes and said, "Why, do you dare not marry me?"

Shen Zhan showed his first smile tonight, it was big and extremely gorgeous.

"Okay! I'll tell my second brother to go." Su Wanru pinched his arm, "Let my second brother chop you up."

Shen Zhan hugged her and kissed her, and said softly: "What else can I do if I don't marry you, of course I will!"

Su Wanru pursed her lips and smiled, tugging at his ears.

"The clothes are all found, they are all clean." Mrs. Xiao stood at the door talking, she did not come in hastily through the curtain, Su Wanru responded, "Here we come." She pulled Shen Zhan out.

The mother-in-law was holding two sets of men's and women's clothes, Mrs. Xiao said: "They are all newly made. But tomorrow I will ask someone to measure for you and make new ones."

"Don't bother, we all brought clothes." She said, and suddenly remembered Zhu Xun, "What should I do, should I take him over?"

Mrs. Xiao hurriedly answered, "Master has already sent people there. And... the hostages detained by Mr. Su will also be released."

"That's right, my second brother is still detained." Su Wanru said with a helpless smile, "This is too much of a misunderstanding. My second brother doesn't know about our affairs, so..."

Mrs. Xiao waved her hand, "We can all understand what he did, it's nothing." Then she said, "Then wash up and rest, and have a good rest."

Su Wanru nodded yes, and sent her out with Shen Zhan. Mrs. Xiao turned her head every three steps, her face was full of kindness, "Go, go and rest, the master and I are the ones out there, don't worry, just sleep well." alright."

All of a sudden, they became children, and someone took care of everything, even the sky above their heads.

They no longer have to worry about whether something is not dealt with, whether the sky will fall, because the elders are there.

Su Wanru nodded yes, and when Mrs. Xiao walked away, she looked up at Shen Zhan, smiled, and said, "Go take a bath, and talk to my second brother later."

The two washed and washed separately, Su Wanru thought of Xiao Hanqing while lying on the side of the bucket, she felt a little unreal.

That person is really dead.

"Wanwan." Across the door, Shen Zhan stood at the door, Su Wanru hurriedly responded, "What's wrong."

Shen Zhan was fine, but he was worried that she was alone in the room, and said, "It's fine, I'm at the door."

Su Wanru pursed her lips and laughed, got up and wiped her clothes, then came out and looked at him, "Are you still excited?" He actually longed for his family, otherwise he wouldn't have been told by Lu that he was ranked first in the clan. After eight years, the name Shen Ba has been used all the time.

Shen Laoba, he is telling the world that he has a family, and he has a huge family with many brothers and sisters.

At least, Shen Zhan, who was a young man at that time, yearned for it in his heart.

"It's okay." Shen Zhan said: "In fact, I had doubts for a long time, but I didn't think it was important and didn't want to mention it, so I didn't say it."

Su Wanru suddenly realized, "No wonder when Zhuang Yinan went to the capital, your expression and tone were weird. I thought you were like this because Chengdu Mansion is special."

"I should have told you earlier." Shen Zhan patted her head, and Su Wanru waved her hand, "People always have secrets, you can keep them if you want, and you don't need to let me know." After thinking about it, he added, "Don't make an example. .”

Shen Zhan chuckled, took her by the hand and went to the next yard.

Su Ji had just finished washing up in the courtyard, when he saw them coming over, he nodded slightly, looked at Su Wanru and said, "Why are you wearing so little?"

"A lot." Su Wanru looked up and down, "It's not cold anymore."

Su Ji glared at Shen Zhan, and pulled Su Wanru into the door, "I'm going to find you, so you can stay at my side tonight."

"I..." Su Wanru coughed, and replied, "Second brother, it's the same when I live next door, two rooms, don't get me wrong."

Su Jine frowned and said: "That's not okay." Some people are like wolves and tigers, and they can't be trusted at all.

Su Wanru hurriedly interrupted with a smile: "Where is Mei Ziqing, is his antidote effective? Is Zhao Zhongyuan awake?"

"Say it will be done tomorrow. It's been a long time, and the antidote won't work immediately." Su Ji took them to Zhao Yan's room, and Mei Yu was getting up to come out. Seeing them, she explained, "It's nothing serious." , you should be able to wake up tomorrow. After waking up, you will be fine for a few days."

"That's good." Su Wanru breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the bed and looked at Zhao Yan, and said helplessly, "I don't know what attitude he will have when he wakes up tomorrow."

Su Ji said: "Keep it if you have a good attitude, and kill if you have a bad attitude."

Shen Zhan nodded in agreement.

"Second brother." Su Wanru said, "Did you ask Sui Yi and Sui Er to guard Xiao Hanqing's body?" She was not afraid that the other party was not dead, although she checked her pulse, it is better to be on guard than not at all.

Su Ji nodded, "There are people guarding secretly, Master Xiao also sent someone to watch."

That is to say, there is no one in the room. If no one is guarding, see what you can gain.

"I thought you didn't come here." Several people sat down, Su Wanru said: "Let Lu Cheng find several places, but I didn't expect you to enter the yamen."

Su Ji replied: "The yamen is the safest place, we have no one to use, so naturally we have to find a way." Then he said: "It's you, how could someone find out."

"Zhu Zhengyan was bitten by a bug, and his whole body was covered with red envelopes. We were worried that something might happen to him, so we went to the city to find a doctor in advance." Su Wanru said, "When I got off the mountain, I was blocked by Miao Changying."

Su Ji nodded, "There is no way."

Several people were silent for a while, Su Ji asked Shen Zhan, "What are you going to do?"

"I don't know." Shen Zhan took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said calmly, "Wanwan said it's a good thing."

Su Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Wanru, and asked, "Do you think he is really Xiao Shan's son?"

"It shouldn't be wrong." Su Wanru said: "You don't know how Lu Shi treats Shen Zhan, she has regarded him as an enemy since she was a child, but any mother with a little humanity would never treat such a young child. "

Su Ji didn't speak, it was the first time he heard about Shen Zhan's childhood.

"If you don't object, then you will accept this relative." Su Ji said: "With the Chengdu Mansion, many things will be more logical."

He was not decisive, he still looked at Shen Zhan when he spoke, this is his elder, if he wants to recognize them, he will recognize them, if he doesn't want to recognize them, he will find another way, since they are here, the soldiers and horses of Chengdu Mansion have to give it a try.

"Then admit it." Shen Zhan didn't hesitate.

Su Wanru laughed, hugged Shen Zhan and said, "Oh, we Shen Zhan also have parents, so enviable."

Shen Zhan's eyebrows and eyes were immediately stained with a smile, and he hugged her and said softly, "It's also your parents."

"Ahem..." Su Ji coughed, and said with a straight face, "What does it look like?"

Su Wanru giggled, sat down beside Su Ji, and said with a smile, "Second Brother, you just need to get used to it. When the big thing is over, find me a sister-in-law, and you will do the same."

"Nonsense." Su Ji patted her head and couldn't help laughing.

Su Wanru looked at Mei Yu, "Mei Ziqing, why are you in a daze? You've been out of your mind all night."

"No." Mei Yu said, "I was just thinking about something."

Su Wanru thought of something, and said suspiciously: "Yes, I still miss you. Do you see what Lu's bells do, is there anything special?" They are all doctors, does the bell have some medicinal properties?
"It looks familiar." Mei Yu said, "But this bell is very common, and it should be sold elsewhere."

Su Wanru was stunned for a moment, and found that Su Ji and Shen Zhan also had doubts on their faces, she paused and asked, "Why don't we go to the Jiang family to see when Zhu Zhengyan is ready?"

"Alright." Mei Yu nodded first, "I'm curious what kind of spells they are."

In the main courtyard separated by two courtyards, Mrs. Xiao and Mama Liu dragged several boxes out. There were several brocade boxes on the ground. These came out to no avail."

"Half is for my son." Mrs. Xiao said, she took out a wooden sword with a playful face, "Look, you cut it, right? You're ashamed to say me."

Xiao Shan pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "It's up to you, as long as you're happy."

"No, Zhan'er will definitely not want it. He is so skilled in martial arts. How about you give him the knife that you are reluctant to use. I think he also uses a knife." Mrs. Xiao said to herself, and turned the page again. He picked up the booklet in the warehouse, nodded on it and said, "It's in the second cabinet in the south room, Caiying, go get it, and use it for Zhan'er tomorrow."

"Ma'am." Mother Liu said with a smile, "Would you like to rest for a while, or the young master is back, but you are exhausted."

Mrs. Xiao waved her hands, "I can't sleep, I toss and turn in bed like frying fish, it's really hard." She said again: "Oh, yes! I'm going to take Zhan'er to the temple tomorrow to fulfill my vows, and I'm in front of the Bodhisattva. I made a wish, if I find the child, I will give him a heavy golden body."

As she spoke, she found out her dowry list. When she got married, she had no dowry. What she had was saved by Xiao Shan for her. Two rooms were full of her dowry, which was reserved for her children in the future. .

"This gold doesn't seem to be enough, do you want to buy some more?" Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan nodded, "Buy!"

"You don't need to pay for it. I have money. I don't have any daily expenses. I keep everything you gave me." Mrs. Xiao remembered, "I want to wear a beautiful dress. This one doesn't look good on me. Find another one for me. New ones come out."

Liu's mother covered her face with a smile, and said, "In the past three years, you have made this autumn coat."

"Ah!" Mrs. Xiao remembered that she had been slovenly for many years, "Then what should I do, I'll go and see if there are any old ones."

Busily chattering, it was dawn, Mrs. Xiao was very tired, but she didn't feel sleepy, "Are you awake? Bring the breakfast, he eats a lot, don't be hungry."

"I'm practicing swords in the backyard. It's where the master usually practices swords. There's Mr. Su." Mama Liu covered her face and giggled, "It's very lively today, the three of them are chattering, Madam, go and see Bar."

"Really, I'm going to take a look." Mrs. Xiao said, holding Liu's mother's hand and walked quickly to the backyard. This is a small shooting range, specially built by Xiaoshan, for his son to practice martial arts. I played here for an hour in the morning before going back.

However, there is only Xiao Shan here on weekdays, but today it is extraordinarily lively. In the northeast corner is Su Ji, in the northwest is Shen Zhan, and in the south is Xiao Shan.

The three people have completely different skills. Su Ji's body style is smooth and flowing, which is more beautiful than practical. His sword-headed flowers make people amazed by his demeanor. Shen Zhan is a real move. On the battlefield, you can recruit the lives of important people. Xiao Shan, on the contrary, combined the common points of the two, because his body skills were taught by his master, and he experienced countless life-and-death struggles. He did not lose his tricks and was very practical.

Madam Xiao watched, tears falling down...

This scene is like a dream.

Su Wanru dozed off and woke up after having several dreams. Zhu Xun was taken over to live in Su Ji's yard. The swelling on her face subsided and she was much better. She rested for a while and went to see Zhao Yan again. He was in a coma, but Mei Yu said that if he could wake up today, he should be fine.

"Let's go and see Xiao Hanqing." Su Wanru took Lu Cheng and Min Wang along, "Did he cheat on the corpse last night?"

Lu Cheng shook his head, "No, I checked my breath several times in one night, and it's true!"

Su Wanru was still worried and went to see it in person, Qiqiao was bleeding, the blood was still on her face, her death was horrific, Lu Shi just lay quietly on the side, no longer the arrogance of the past, she looked much gentler now.

"I'm thinking too much." Su Wanru backed out, "Suspicious."

As they spoke, they went to the backyard, and the three of them just left. Mrs. Xiao personally carried the pot and poured tea, each with a cup, and said with a smile: "Breakfast is ready, go wash up soon, and go to the main courtyard to have breakfast in a while."

"Young Master Su, you are welcome. You are Wan Wan's elder brother. We are a family. When they get married, we will still be in-laws." Mrs. Xiao said: "Let's treat it as our own family and be more casual."

Su Ji cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me."

"Too polite." Mrs. Xiao said, seeing Shen Zhan's sweaty head, she threw Xiao Shan's handkerchief over and said with a smile, "I didn't sleep last night, so I should sleep more in the morning. Wash off the sweat quickly, and you will catch cold when the wind blows in a while."

The veil has a faint fragrance, sweeping across the face, gentle and loving, Shen Zhan was a little dazed for a moment, but more of an discomfort, he stepped back and said: "I'm fine, it's like this every day, I'm used to it."

"Then be careful." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile: "The hot water is ready, go quickly."

Shen Zhan nodded and Su Ji left the school grounds. Xiao Shan looked at Mrs. Xiao helplessly, and said, "Don't scare him. He has no mother since he was a child and lives on the street. I'm afraid no one will treat him like this. You suddenly appear , give him some time anyway."

"It's because he suffers from suffering, so I want to treat him better." Mrs. Xiao specially put on makeup today, and she smiled with youthful vigor. Xiao Shan has not seen her like this for many years.

Xiao Shan shook his head, "Okay, then go prepare it quickly, I heard that he likes steamed buns with meat fillings."

"What are steamed buns with meat stuffing?" Mrs. Xiao had never eaten before, "Steamed buns?"

Xiao Shan nodded, "Almost."

"Then I'll go and tell the kitchen to put more meat." Madam Xiao said, and left like a gust of wind, leaving Xiao Shan here, full of helplessness, looking at Shen Zhan and Su Ji who had gone away, and Su Wanru greeted her with smiles on the corners of her eyes and brows.

Two patients were left behind, and everyone sat together to eat breakfast. Mrs. Xiao barely ate, and just took care of serving them food. He said: "Master, all the uncles and brothers in the clan will come over, let me ask you if today is suitable or not."

"Wait for another two days." Xiao Shan said without expression, "Let them all calm down, and don't make troubles when nothing happens."

Zhang Miao nodded, couldn't help it, and bowed to Shen Zhan and the others, "Hello, Mr. Su, Mr. Mei, and Ms. Su."

Everyone nodded with him and watched him go out.

"Eat more." Mrs. Xiao said: "If there is not enough for the kitchen, there are more. Zhan'er, you have only eaten three, do you want to eat another one?"

Shen Zhan shook his head and replied, "This steamed bun is big."

It was rare for Su Ji to see Shen Zhan like this, a smile flashed across his eyes, and the atmosphere on the table became more cheerful.

After dinner, everyone sat down to drink tea, and when they wanted to talk about Lu's burial, Xiao Shan said: "You are not familiar with the road, so I will take you there. If it is decided, start early."

It is cool in the morning and evening, but it is still hot at noon, so it is better to bury it early.

"Then let's clean up and go today?" Su Wanru looked at Mei Yu, "You can come with us, Zhao Zhongyuan sent someone to guard?"

Mei Yu said: "Forget it, I'll go another day, I don't feel relieved when everyone is gone."

Xiao Shan was about to speak, Zhang Miao went back and forth, lifted the curtain and stood at the door, and replied: "Master, the head of the Lu clan of the Jiang clan has come, and he said he would come to collect the corpses of Xiao Hanqing and the Lu clan."

"It's reasonable for them to lead Mrs. Lu." Su Wanru asked strangely, "Why did they take Xiao Hanqing?"

Xiao Shan got up and said, "I'll go and have a look."
