After the opening of the new workshop, the business has been booming. Miao Cuilan, Mrs. Tong and Master Tong are very happy. Seeing that the relationship between her natal family and her husband's family is getting closer, Tong Yuer is also very happy and happy. Then everything is complete!
The journey is long and thousands of miles away, and no one can guarantee whether anything will happen along the way. What's more, how hard it is to eat and sleep in the open air, given the current situation of my family, there is no need to obtain that fame.
No, it will not affect daily life, and it is just icing on the cake.
Tong Yu'er secretly decided that no matter whether she wins or loses this time, she will never let her husband go next time. In any case, she must stop him.
In the early morning of this day, Mrs. Tong sent a carriage to pick up Tong Yuer's mother and son back home for a small gathering, saying that she missed her grandson.
Naturally, Tong Yu'er would not refuse, and after explaining a few words to Lu Xiaoshu and Xiaoxue, she took Jin'er into the carriage. Now that Miao Chuhe is not at home, Tong Yu'er insists on refusing to spend the night at her mother's house alone. Fortunately, her mother's house is not far away, so she will go to play for a day and come back in the evening.
In the evening, Tong Yu'er carried her son back home with smiles on her eyes and brows. Jin'er is very well-behaved, making her grandmother laugh and laugh, and giving Tong Yuer a big face.
As the sun was setting, the coachman didn't stay any longer. He watched his young lady enter the yard, didn't even have time to take a sip of tea, so he left in a hurry and went on his way to the car.
Tong Yu'er entered the room, but found that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange.
There seemed to be tears on Miao Cuilan's face, and Lu Zhong's expression was silent. Xiaoxue, who usually saw Jin'er with a smile and stretched out her hand to tease her, was also looking sad, and Lu Xiaoshu, who was sitting with his mother Beside her sister, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Tong Yu'er subconsciously picked up her heart, forced a smile and said: "Sister, brother-in-law..."
"You're back!" Miao Cuilan was startled, then forced a smile and nodded towards her.
Lady Xu came up from the side, took Jin'er from her hand and gently coaxed her out, sighing slightly.
"Sister, brother-in-law, is it—something happened..." Tong Yu'er felt her voice tremble a little.
The eyes of the whole family are different, but without exception, there is the same signal that something is really wrong!
"Miss!" A crying voice sounded from the side.
Tong Yu'er turned her head, only to see a Tong family servant standing aside with a haggard look and red and swollen eyes.
Tong Yu'er's expression changed drastically, and she said in shock: "Uncle Fu, why is it you! You, you are accompanying my uncle to Beijing!" Tong Yuer only felt dizzy on her forehead, and her heart was beating faster and faster. Her throat was almost blocked so she couldn't breathe.
"What's going on!" She said with a trembling voice, "Why did you come back! How did you come back?"
"Yu'er!" Miao Cuilan got up and grabbed her arm tightly, looking at her, tears streaming down her face before she could say anything, "You, you have to hold on. Chuhe, he met bandits on the road, Already, already—”
Miao Cuilan covered her face and burst into tears, then squatted on the ground as soon as her body softened.
"Cuilan!" Lu Zhong quickly stepped forward to support her.
Lu Xiaoshu and Xiaoxue hurriedly called "Little Aunt!" to help Tong Yu'er.
Tong Yu'er was stunned, and felt that everything around her seemed unreal, everything was imaginary and floating, including her.
For a moment, nothing seemed to exist!
Her mind went blank!
"Already, what's wrong?" Tong Yu'er held her hands tightly, trembling uncontrollably, her teeth chattering.
She stared straight ahead, lost focus in a trance, and asked word by word in a stiff voice: "What's wrong?"
"It's not good to be all old slaves, it's useless to be all old slaves! It's useless to be all old slaves..." Uncle Fu muttered to himself, constantly blaming himself.
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't bear to watch it, and said with tears in his eyes, "Little aunt, little uncle, he met a bandit and was killed by a bandit, so he has already gone!"
Tong Yu'er let out a low sound that seemed sad and mournful, and she fell back after shaking her body.
"Little aunt..." Sister Lu Xiaoshu exclaimed and quickly supported her. Miao Cuilan also changed color and called "Yu'er" and got up quickly, helping her to lie down on the kang.
Rubbing her chest to smooth her breath and pinching her, Tong Yu'er moved her neck twice in her throat and slowly opened her eyes, but she was dazed and stared at Above, two lines of clear tears flowed silently from the wide-open eyes, and slowly passed along the cheeks.
Her face was as pale as snow.
"Yu'er!" Miao Cuilan shook her, hugged her and cried, "Yu'er! Yu'er! I'm sorry for you! I'm sorry for you! Yu'er!"
"Sister!" Tong Yu'er also burst into tears, holding Miao Cuilan's skirt tightly and said: "It's my fault! It's all my fault! I shouldn't let him, I should stop him His! Why didn't I stop him! Why didn't I stop!"
Miao Cuilan was even more sad when she heard that, the two of them hugged each other and cried until their hearts were broken.
Lu Zhong sighed unceasingly at the side, while Lu Xiaoshu and Xiaoxue dragged their mother and aunt, and tried to persuade them in a low voice, but they couldn't stop feeling sad.
Hearing the distressed voices of his mother and little aunt, Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help saying bitterly: "It must be the gangsters from Yuzhang Mansion! They must be taking revenge on my little uncle for causing the arson case! It must be them! "
"Xiao Shu! Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Zhong immediately stopped Lu Xiaoshu when he heard the words, how could he speak lightly about government affairs.
Lu Xiaoshu gritted his teeth and snorted, and stubbornly turned his head away.
"Yes! Yes!" Tong Yu'er sat up abruptly, with resentment in her eyes, and said in a hateful voice: "Xiaoshu's words are not wrong at all! They must be retaliating! Otherwise, how could it be possible for Chuhe?" Is this going to happen? It must be!"
As she spoke, she began to cry bitterly again, crying with resentment and sorrow: "I said long ago that this business is out of the question, but he said it's okay, it's okay, who knew, who knew so quickly—"
Miao Cuilan was even more saddened to hear her say that, and she also burst into tears, blaming herself for letting him go to Beijing. For a while, the room was full of weeping again.
It wasn't until nightfall that Tong Yu'er gradually turned around under everyone's persuasion, and asked Uncle Fu to go up and inquire about the situation at that time. As she asked, she imagined the situation at that time, thought of the love and warmth of the past, and thought of the eternal love between heaven and man from now on. Since she didn't even see him for the last time, Tong Yu'er felt sad and cold, sad and resentful, and couldn't help but cried a few times painfully.
"Young master, have you restrained yourself? Where is it stored now? Is it okay? I want to go there in person, I want to pick him up in person..." Tong Yu'er endured the grief in her heart, and said to Uncle Fu again with tears.
"Miss!" Uncle Fu slapped himself on the face, lowered his head and said in shame: "This old slave has no face to see you, miss! Miss, you should punish this old slave severely! Chaos, my uncle's body was not found..."
"What!" Not only Tong Yu'er, Miao Cuilan and others all changed their faces.
Uncle Fu didn't mention this just now, maybe he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say, besides, Miao Cuilan, Xiaoxue and others were already crying after hearing what he said, and they couldn't bear to listen to him anymore.
"I didn't find it, what does it mean?" Miao Cuilan was surprised and angry.
Uncle Fu was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, so he said: "We were traveling with a caravan at that time, and we were also confused. It must be that the caravan brought a lot of goods and money, which attracted the bandits' concern. I knew It will be like this, even if you kill them, you will not go with them. It was a cloudy afternoon, and when passing through a forest in Shandong, the gang of thieves suddenly rushed out shouting and killing. The light in the forest was extremely dark, there was nothing I couldn't even see clearly. The old slave was kicked away and rolled down the hillside, only to lose his life. Later, the government came to clean up the scene, but the uncle's body was not found, but was found on another mountain cliff A puddle of blood, follow the blood to the bottom of the valley to check, only one of my uncle's shoes and a large pool of blood, and there are messy traces caused by wild animals in the vicinity, the official said, the official said - the old slave had no choice but to take my uncle The shoe was restrained, temporarily stored in a nearby temple, and entrusted to the master in the temple, and then hurriedly came back to report..."
Uncle Fu slapped his face left and right again, and said regretfully: "Miss, Miss-in-law and Uncle-in-law, I'm sorry for you!" After saying that, Lao Bi burst into tears and burst into tears.
Tong Yu'er and Miao Cuilan, the two people who hold Miao Chuhe the most, their hearts have been tossed to death, riddled with holes, and numb with pain. Even so, hearing Miao Chuhe's miserable end, the two of them were still heartbroken, dripping blood drop by drop.
"So he escaped, why didn't he escape, why didn't he escape..." Tong Yu'er's internal organs were almost rubbed together, and tears of hatred flowed from her sour, red and swollen eyes Down.
Imagining Miao Chuhe's adventure and escape at that time, imagining his survival and struggle, Miao Cuilan was also heartbroken, wishing she could replace it with her own body.
Lu Zhong sighed for a long time, and persuaded him gently: "Cuilan, brothers and sisters, the matter has already happened, you should also mourn and take care! Alas, otherwise, Chuhe's spirit in heaven will not rest in peace. You are his most important people, he I definitely don't want you to do anything because of him! Brother and sister, you and Jin'er, take a good look at Jin'er!"
Miao Cuilan said with tears: "But he ended up so miserable! What did he do wrong and why did he end up like this!"
When Tong Yu'er heard Lu Zhong mention Jin'er's eyes flashed, Tong Yu'er's expression softened slightly, and when Miao Cuilan said that, she shed tears again, but gritted her teeth and nodded: "Thank you brother-in-law, I know it in my heart, I know it all! But that's my husband, my sky is falling, how can I not be sad!"
