Red makeup against the world

Chapter 114
The two father and brother in front of them are unkempt and dirty, and their clothes are still clean because they have been changed.Due to wearing handcuffs and shackles for a long time, scabs formed on his wrists and ankles.

Shocked by the bad news, Xu Changzong sat on the ground as if he had lost his soul, holding Xu Wenyu who was sobbing in his arms.His originally thin figure became more and more skinny, with high cheekbones and dull eyes.Tears flowed down the cheeks, two black tear stains dripped out.

Xu Wenmin grabbed the ground with his head and cried out in grief.

Seeing her father and brother like this, Xu Wanzhen felt sorrowful from the bottom of her heart, as if the original soul still lived in her heart and had not yet dissipated.The nose was sore, and the tears flowed down uncontrollably.

She stepped forward, hugged Xu Wenmin, and said, "Brother! Be sober! It's not your fault."

Xu Wenmin wailed: "I killed Auntie, why didn't I die myself!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu stomped her crutches a few times, made a sound of "bang bang bang!", and said angrily, "Changzong! Wen Min! Please wake me up!"

Seeing her grandmother getting angry, Xu Wenmin stopped wailing and was stunned on the ground.

Mrs. Xu said solemnly: "Wen Min, a big mistake has been made, so what if you regret it? What's the use of blaming yourself?"

"Yeah, it's useless...it's useless..." Xu Wenmin muttered to himself.

"Even if you die right now, can you get your mother back?" Mrs. Xu said heartbrokenly, "I, a man from the Xu family, don't have such a coward!"

Xu Wanzhen has adjusted her emotions, hugged Xu Wenmin like a child, patted his back lightly, and said softly: "Brother, now the hope of the Xu family is you! You must cheer up, don't let the sky Mother is disappointed."

Xu Wenmin came back to his senses and said, "Zhen'er, do you think Auntie will forgive me?"

"Of course, it's my mother who loves us. My brother was naughty when I was a child, didn't my mother forgive you? Although this time the mistake was serious, but my brother was deceived by others, and he was deceived by others. The important thing is, What to do next?"

Xu Wanzhen's gentle but firm words, like a clear spring, flowed into Xu Wenmin's confused and self-blaming heart, gradually awakening his mind.He grabbed Xu Wanzhen's hand and said: "Sister, give me time and let me think about it. I probably know what to do."

Since Xu Wenmin was imprisoned, he has been in deep self-blame.Blame myself, if it wasn't because of short-sightedness and greed for profit, how could my dad be imprisoned, and the whole family is worried?After learning of A Niang's sad news today, the emotion of guilt and remorse reached the peak, and there was nowhere to vent.Fortunately, Mrs. Xu woke him up by scolding him, and Xu Wanzhen's gentle words enlightened him, and he gradually calmed down.

But it didn't take a while for him to figure it out, Xu Wanzhen deeply understood this point, nodded and said: "Well, brother, I believe you can do it."

Xu Changzong also came back to his senses, and lost his beloved wife, which dealt a huge blow to this middle-aged man.At this moment, he only thought about protecting the blood left by his wife.He asked in a hoarse voice, "Mother, why did you come in person? How is the Xu family doing now?"

"I also know to ask the Xu family, yes, I haven't completely dizzy yet." Mrs. Xu raised her crutches, pointed at the two of them in the void, and said, "Seeing that the situation is not going well, the third child has been separated. There are only two of you. Changrong is in office, and he tried every means to save you, and my old father fell seriously ill."

"I thought you would learn from this painful experience! I never thought that I would see two cripples!" Mrs. Xu was heartbroken, covering her heart and said, "I don't feel pain when Zhiqing passes away? Really?! The two of us Women and children, you still know how to let go of the pain and work hard to move forward. You two are ashamed of being a man!"

Mrs. Xu scolded angrily, and Xu Changzong fell to his knees in shame, kowtowed a few times, and said: "My son is not filial, and his mother is hurt! My son knows that he is wrong, and he will cheer up with Wen Min."

Mrs. Xu didn't ask him to get up, and after suffering such a major setback, what she was afraid of was that his mind would become decadent and he would become a useless person.At this critical moment, the more repentant Xu Changzong is, the more he will be able to cheer up in the future.

"Before we went to Beijing, we sold all the property in Jiangnan Road to the He family to raise money to save father and elder brother. We made an agreement with the He family to deliver in the capital. Now the Xu family still has the old house in Suzhou and the fleet. and the two 'Splendid Story' shops in the capital." Xu Wanzhen said slowly.

"What?!" Xu Wenmin looked up in shock, and asked, "Sold them all? This is the property left by my grandfather." He knew very well in his heart the significance of this property to Mrs. Xu.

Xu Changzong was not surprised. This case involved the emperor's heirs. Mrs. Xu will definitely do her best to save them.

"As long as I can save you, a few belongings are nothing." Mrs. Xu said in a deep voice, "Home is where you are. But just don't let me down."

Xu Changzong and Xu Wenmin kowtowed together and said: "The child will never let the mother/grandmother down!"

Xu Wanzhen stepped forward to lead Xu Wenyu, opened the food box, took out the food, and said softly, "Father, elder brother, eat something and take care of your spirit. You must not collapse your body."

The food in "Zuibailou" is naturally good. When she was in Jiashanfang, Han Runiang kept warming it with the stove, and now it is still steaming and fragrant.

The two of them hadn't had a decent meal for a long time, so they wiped away their tears with their sleeves, sat down on the floor and ate.

Mrs. Xu said: "Eat slowly, I have something to tell you. This case seems to involve a serious crime involving the heir of the emperor, but in fact the Xu family is just a scapegoat. The Zhen family is hateful! But it is not to deal with the Zhen family at present. At that time, we had to start from other places. Now we have some clues, but by chance, we got a letter of recommendation from Princess Zhaoyang, and when we are ready, we will go to see Princess Zhaoyang.”

Hearing this, Xu Changzong raised his head in surprise and said, "Princess Zhaoyang?"

"Yes, the ins and outs of this kind of royal family secrets are still a cloud of fog right now. If you can really win the favor of the princess and know the hidden truth of this matter, then you can solve the crux of the problem." Mrs. Xu thought deeply about this.

Xu Wanzhen said clearly: "Don't worry, Father, Zhen'er will do his best to impress the princess."

Hearing what his daughter said, Xu Changzong wiped away his tears and said, "Zhener, you are incompetent for your father. At this time, it is time for you to prepare the dowry." Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered and asked: "Sun What about home? What kind of regulations are there?"

Mrs. Xu snorted coldly, and said, "The Sun family? Humph! Sun Renjian is a person who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages! Zhiqing came to divorce the engagement on the second day after her death. But his son is kind and righteous. The key to your case The news, he still tried to find a way to tell Zhen'er."

Xu Changzong was already numb to this series of blows, he was only slightly absent-minded about this news, and said: "Then what should I do?"

"Father, you don't have to worry about me. I just turned 14 in September this year, and I have to serve my mother three years of filial piety!" Xu Wanzhen pretended to be brisk and said: "Now we live in Tu's house, everything is fine. Great-grandfather really likes Yu'er, so don't worry!"
