The county lady's mansion has become really lively since the arrival of the third generation and two pregnant women.

As an outsider, Zhou Leng, the mother-in-law, watched as the three young wives enjoyed the love between mother and son, and the new bride and her son enjoyed the beauty of love.

Until the five grandsons had gone to college and the two granddaughters had invited a female teacher to teach them at home, Zhou Leng still didn't understand how Yao Jingxing managed to achieve the inconsistency between his body and mind. What was the mentality of the new wife Chu Yanxi to be so loving with her son and even become a model of couples in the army.

Zhou Leng not only lamented that she had been a prostitute for decades, but she was still stubborn in her bones. She would rather let the world down than let the world let her down. If Yao Qing dared to mention taking a concubine or go to a brothel, she was sure that he would die under her sword.

Zhou Leng, who is now a grandmother, doesn't pay much attention to her grandchildren. She has started her own retirement life, reading and painting every day. Anyway, she always has something to do to pass the time.

It is rare for a person to live to be seventy. In this era when the average life expectancy is only around fifty, Yao Qing's age of fifty-five is already considered a long life.

The old Yao Qing seemed to love to stick to Yirong even more. The couple spent all day together, and Zhou Leng was so annoyed that he now avoided him.

But people are sometimes very fragile. Yao Qing seemed to have fallen ill all of a sudden. In just three months, he turned from a burly man into a skinny man. He could only lie in bed and could not move too much.

One day, Yao Qing, who was rarely energetic, took Zhou Leng's hand, who was sitting at the head of the bed, and said:

"My lady, you are still as stunning as you were when you were young, but I can't grow old with you."

Zhou Leng patted his hands and said, "Qinglang, don't say such things. I have been married to you for many years, and you have treated me very well. I have no regrets in this life."

Yao Qing took a breath and said:

"In fact, there are some things in my heart that I can't let go. I have taken advantage of your kindness these years, otherwise I would not have been able to take the command position. Marrying you is ultimately marrying above my station. I know you are hiding something from me, and if you don't tell me, I won't ask. I know in my heart that you won't harm me."

Zhou Leng was a little complicated. After a moment of silence, she said:

"Yes, I have hidden some things from you. In fact, I am a martial arts genius with extraordinary martial arts skills. That year, I was also named the county lord because I helped the current emperor solve a problem. However, I was afraid that these things would ruin the good image of me in your heart, so I didn't dare to tell you."

"Ahem, hahahaha... You are always like this, with a heart as broad as the sea. I won't worry about you anymore. Even if I leave, you have to live well."

Zhou Leng nodded and said, "Don't worry, your disease can be cured." She now has two choices. One is to give all her life's skills to Yao Qing to repair his body, and the other is to wait for him to die and then sit in meditation.

This is really a difficult choice.

Zhou Leng looked at the other person's pale face, and the companionship of this life was vivid in his mind. Although he had always been cautious and suspicious, he was indeed a good man. In this case, he might as well wait for him to die and then sit in meditation. What if he changed after he died! Wouldn't he fail the mission?

As time passed by as Yao Qing grew weaker day by day, Zhou Leng's thoughts were also changing. She came here for the mission, and she always owed the other party a little sincerity in this life. Why not take this opportunity to leave, and save the other party's life by the way, which can be regarded as repaying this karma.

One early morning.

Yao Jingxing brought his new wife to the main room to pay respects to his parents. After knocking on the door and hearing no one answer, he pushed the door open anxiously, walked through the screen, entered the inner room, opened the door, and saw a white-haired man sitting at the head of the bed, with their hands silently clasped.

"Mother, how come your hair has turned white after not seeing you for one night? Mother."

"Ahem, ugh."

After being woken up, Yao Qing only felt an itchy throat. He stood up and spat out a mouthful of blood on the side of the bed. When he opened his eyes, Zhou Leng's body was slowly dissipating.

"Mother!"

Yao Jingxing ran over quickly but only caught a glimpse of smoke. He was stunned on the spot.

Yao Qing felt his body's functions recover and his pain disappear. He cried out in pain. He thought of Yi Rong's face last night and asked himself:

"Do you have any regrets in this life?"

"I don't really have any regrets. Perhaps my biggest regret is that I can't grow old with you."

Yao Qing thought about the other person's complicated look when he said this, and the result today, he regretted it very much. Maybe Yirong was really a martial arts genius as she said, but now in order to save himself, she left, disappeared, without a trace of body left, reduced to ashes!

After being shocked, Yao Jingxing and his wife burst into silent tears.

White silk was hung in the county princess's mansion.

He Xiang, Jiang Yueluo and his sister, Ju Zheng and his wife, and others all wore white clothes to attend the funeral.

King Xuan also came to mourn. He met Chu Yanxi alone. The two of them stood in front of an empty window. King Xuan lowered his voice and said, "I asked someone to investigate. The coffin is empty. There are only clothes and burial objects. What happened?"

Chu Yanxi's expression was filled with sadness. She gritted her teeth and said:

"In order to save my father-in-law, my mother-in-law gave him all her life's skills. After saving him, she turned to ashes and disappeared right in front of me. I saw it with my own eyes. I also tried my father-in-law, but he only knew some boxing and kicking skills, and he didn't have the heaven-defying practice of my mother-in-law. It seems that the price she paid to bring the dead back to life was everything she had. You can rest assured. There is no more threat in the Great Chu State that you are afraid of."

King Xuan was silent for a long time and then he sighed deeply. He said, "If she had not been tainted by the worldly air, she might really have been able to join the ranks of immortals. It's a pity that she died for such an ordinary person."

Chu Yanxi said impatiently: "If there is nothing wrong, we don't need to see each other anymore. Jinglang and I are living in harmony, and I have found the man that Daddy mentioned."

"My beloved? You have five bastards, but they are still my beloveds!"

Chu Yanxi said expressionlessly: "He is a good man. He is willing to give up the child for me. I can't let him die without descendants. I am the only one in his heart. That's enough."

Just as King Xuan was about to speak, the door was pushed open.

Squeak.

Yao Jingxing walked in and said calmly, "Yan Xi, please entertain the female guests."

Chu Yanxi's expression changed slightly, and she replied nervously: "Okay, I'll be right there."

The two walked down the corridor, and Chu Yanxi said with difficulty: "The royal family is worried that my mother-in-law is too extraordinary, but my feelings for you are real, I..."

"I know that now that my mother has passed away, I think you can all rest assured."

"you..."

"Let's go, receive the guests, and live your life well in the future. In fact, mother knows it very well. You think you can hide it from her. Without you, there will be others. She would rather be you. Mother once said that you are a good wife and a good bride. She admires you very much. You don't need to worry."

Chu Yanxi's eyes turned slightly red, and tears slid down like beads from a broken string.

evening.

Yao Qing walked to the mourning hall alone. He sat next to the coffin and said, "Yirong, Yirong, how can I live the rest of my life in peace? How can I live with myself?"

It takes tremendous courage to die.

Day two.

When Yao Jingxing arrived at the mourning hall, he saw his father leaning against the coffin. He felt dizzy and fell to the ground, and was supported by Chu Yanqie beside him.

"Daddy!"

Yao Qing opened his eyes after hearing the voice. He looked at the faces of Jingxing and his wife and said, "Don't worry. This is what your mother paid for with her life. I want to live well and see the world for her."

Yao Jingxing took a step forward, knelt down beside Yao Qing, and burst into tears.

You buried the bones in the mud, I sent the world to the world full of snow.
