across mountains and seas

The atmosphere is dignified.

Jing Huan arrived today for the first time, and he was still confused about many things. He couldn't help but said: "Mother, look at what I said, I know that as long as Sister Liu is here, Xiao Wu and the others will be fine!" After finishing speaking, He asked Jing Lan in a low voice, "Xiao Wu, the second brother must still be alive, isn't he?"

Jing Lan dared not answer.

Aunt Hong gasped, glanced briefly at the hands they held tightly together, her eyes sank, and she said in a solemn voice: "Follow me."

Liu Xi nodded, and was about to get up, but Jing Lan still held her tightly.

Jing Lan said urgently: "Aunt Hong, I still have something to say!"

Jing Yuan was terrified when he saw it, squatted down quickly, and patted Jing Lan on the shoulder, "Xiao Wu, there are still many things waiting for you to deal with in the imperial court. Listen to the third brother..." He gave Jing Lan several winks, He motioned for her to let go of her hand first.

Liu Xi pulled out her hand forcefully, not daring to say a word, followed Aunt Hong to the inner courtyard.

Jing Yuan frowned, feeling sore in his heart, "Mother has been crying for several days, Xiao Wu, don't make trouble at this time."

"Third brother, I didn't cause trouble, and I don't want to wrong her anymore." Jing Lan looked at Jing Yuan firmly, "Liu Xi, the daughter of the Xishan Liu family, is dead. She is now named Bailixi from her mother's surname." After a short pause, Jing Lan's voice trembled slightly, with a pleading tone, "Can't I, Dongjing Sect, give her an inch of space to shelter her from the wind and rain?"

Jing Yuan had complicated emotions, "Xiao Wu..."

Shen Jiangli nodded heavily, sniffed, "I am wronged."

The more Jing Huan listened, the more confused he became. When he thought that his second elder brother Jing Tan would never come back, he felt his nose sore. After rubbing it several times, the soreness remained, and even his eye circles turned red, "What's going on? How could my second elder brother suddenly become the second son of Wei, and how could the well-behaved elder sister Liu become elder sister Baili?"

Jin Lingdang didn't interrupt, she thought about the scene where Jing Lan and Liu Xi stepped into the main hall holding hands, what came to her mind, but hesitated whether she should ask?

Jing Lan took a deep breath, suddenly held the third brother's hand tightly, and said solemnly: "Third brother, from today onwards, I will entrust you with the title of Patriarch of the Dongjing Clan."

Jing Yuan was shocked, "You...don't be childish!"

"One lives for a lifetime, but I want to be innocent. If I can't give her a home, I will be ashamed!" Jing Lan said, stood up, and solemnly bowed to Jing Yuan, "Third Brother, I also want to give her a home." Please resign if you can study books, you are more suitable than me for the position of governor."

Jing Yuan was angry and anxious, "What nonsense are you talking about? The elder brother and the second elder brother are no longer alive, do you still want our Donghai family to be torn apart?"

"Slap!" Jing Yuan's palm trembled slightly, and he slapped Jing Lan's face extremely loudly.

Shen Jiangli anxiously said: "Don't, fight!" As he said, he carried Wei Lei between Jing Yuan and Jing Lan, and looked at Jing Lan with distress, "Xiao, Wu..."

"Let's go!" Jing Yuan held Jing Huan with one hand and Jing Lan with the other. He tightly held the hands of his two younger brothers and walked quickly into the inner courtyard.

The third son of Jing has always been gentle, and he has never looked so angry.

Not to mention Jin Lingdang and Shen Jiangli, even Jing Lan and Jing Huan rarely saw such a third brother.

Seeing that these three people went to the inner courtyard, Jin Lingdang and Shen Jiangli also hurriedly chased after them.

Liu Xi followed Aunt Hong to the empty courtyard in the backyard. Aunt Hong pushed back the maids in the courtyard, and after a moment of silence, she finally spoke, "Kefu is hard..."

Liu Xi's heart twitched fiercely, and she asked hoarsely: "Does Aunt Hong believe this too?"

With tears in her eyes, Aunt Hong asked, "Does A Tan have to die?"

Liu Xi calmly met Aunt Hong's eyes, tears welled up in her eyes, her voice trembled slightly, "I never thought of being such a disaster."

"Alan is the only flesh and blood of sister and husband..." Aunt Hong still complained to Liu Xi somewhat in her heart, but she was most shocked and saddened when Xiao Wu came back holding her hand. What does that mean, Hong Auntie didn't need to ask, she knew it well, "Why...is he still a child of the Jing family?" Before Liu Xi could answer, Aunt Hong took a step forward, sad and disappointed, "He is a child, but you are not a child, you Putting your identity here, you... are so confused!"

Liu Xi's eyes were red, and she admitted everything frankly, "I have experienced so much life and death with her, why can't I like her?"

Aunt Hong trembled, holding back her tears and said, "What status do you take to like Xiao Wu? Is it A Duo's widow or A Tan's fiancée?"

Liu Xi said hoarsely: "I..."

"A Tan went astray, I know he will have an accident sooner or later, he died in the Xishan Liu family, I can't blame you." Aunt Hong endured what she guessed, "Everyone in the world thinks you are dead, yes, You can really change your identity and plug the mouths of people in the world, but you can't dig out my eyes. As long as I see you, I will think of A Duo and A Tan...there are so many good boys in the world, why do you want...you want ... to provoke Xiao Wu?"

Liu Xi smiled wryly, "Aunt Hong, in your heart, am I already such a shameless person?"

Aunt Hong had mixed feelings, and said in a mournful voice: "Without you..."

"Without me, Aduo wouldn't have died, Wei Jianxuan wouldn't have died, and Xiao Wu wouldn't be so deviant. Aunt Hong, what do you mean?" Liu Xi asked angrily.

Aunt Hong's mind was in a mess, she knew some things could not be blamed on Liu Xi, but if she didn't blame Liu Xi now, who could she blame?

"I..." Liu Xi took a deep breath, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, "I never thought of hurting anyone in the Dongjing family, I value you more than my life, you are my treasure The Dongjing family is the most cherished family in my life..."

"A Duo is dead, I should pay for my life, right?"

"Wei Jianxuan likes me, so I must marry him, so that's a happy family, right?"

Aunt Hong couldn't answer a word, and she couldn't express the sorrow and sorrow in her heart at all, so she could only turn her face away and sigh deeply.

Liu Xi sneered, tears poured out again, "I am grateful to Aduo for giving me a family, so I will put Dongjingshi first in everything. I am afraid that if I think less, the deduction will be wrong, and Dongjingjing will be destroyed again. Wei Jian Xuan has been spying on Haicheng for many nights, I have called him several times, and in Donglin City, I have also talked with him from the bottom of my heart, I am afraid that one day he will really go astray..."

"If it wasn't for saving him, Ah Lan and I wouldn't have to venture into the mirage to find springs. If it wasn't for saving him, I wouldn't have fallen into the hands of Shura Ting..." Liu Xi pointed to his heart, "How much desire is there for that knife?" Fatal. Aunt Hong, you are only worried that he will be bullied if he falls into the hands of the Asura Court. Have you ever thought that the Asura Court is the Anbu of the Wei family, and he is the second son of the Wei family. The young master who provoked the Jing family, Aunt Hong, do you know? Your A-Tan once wanted to treat me lightly when I was unconscious..."

These things, Liu Xi has never said in Jing's.

Aunt Hong was extremely shocked, she didn't expect Liu Xi to hide so many things?

"Yes, the matter of Baiye City was indeed designed by me. Even though I hated him to the extreme, I gave him one last chance. If he misses Dong Jingshi so much by Huandaochi, I will risk my life. I will also take him back and return you as Jing Tan, the second son of the Jing family." Liu Xi's voice became more and more choked up, "The Wei family is in chaos, and the Dongjing family can have a respite in Xishen Prefecture. After half a year's delay, the situation in Xishen Prefecture will be settled..." At this point, Liu Xi suddenly stopped, wiped away the tears on her face, and laughed at herself, "Oh, what am I talking about."

Sniffing, Liu Xi turned around, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a few people standing in a daze in the distance.

The moment her eyes met Jing Lan's, she felt a pang in her heart, and her tears burst again, as if she had made things worse.

Jing Lan's heart ached, she walked to Liu Xi's side, raised her hand to wipe her tears, then turned around and knelt down in front of Aunt Hong.

"Aunt Hong, I want her, I want her to be my wife." Jing Lan looked at Aunt Hong firmly, "If Aunt Hong thinks that I have a bad brother, I can take care of her with family law." After saying that, Jing Lan untied her. Belt, peel off the outer garment, put it aside, and wait for the execution.

Aunt Hong held back her tears and looked at her, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"I know." Jing Lan nodded, "Without her, I would have died a long time ago, and maybe the Dongjing family would have been gone too. Based on this alone, I can't let her roam the rivers and lakes and have nowhere to settle down."

"You are forcing me..." Aunt Hong shook her head hoarsely.

Jing Lan straightened her back, and met Aunt Hong's eyes frankly, "I remember Aunt Hong, you once said a word to me, you said, those who are ungrateful should be punished." The last two words burned into Aunt Hong's heart, burning hot And shocking.

"Mother!" Jing Yuan stepped forward quickly, and knelt down beside Jing Lan, "Xiao Wu is messing around, I, as an older brother, have already taught me a lesson." He knelt and took two steps forward , grabbed the corner of my mother's clothes, "Xiao Wu finally came back safely, mother, the second brother can't come back anymore, I don't want anyone to leave..."

"Mother." Jing Huan also came over, knelt at Aunt Hong's feet, and grabbed the corner of the other side of her clothes, "You still have us..." Jing Huan rubbed his eyes as he said, "I will talk to my mother in the future." It's better to be twice as dear, and I will be more obedient, mother."

"Aunt Hong..." Jing Lan knelt forward with red eyes and took two steps forward. She didn't dare to hold Aunt Hong's clothes, but she suddenly felt that there were two arms on her back. hold her body.

"We are a family..." Jing Yuan looked up at Aunt Hong who was crying, "Mother, don't you think so?"

Jing Huan nodded, looking at Aunt Hong with teary eyes.

These two sons were conceived hard in October by her, they are connected by blood, Aunt Hong sees them like this, how can she harden her heart?

"Mother."

Suddenly, Aunt Hong trembled and looked down at Jing Lan who was calling her.

Jing Lan carefully grabbed the corner of Aunt Hong's clothes, her left cheek was red and swollen, and a bright red palm print was still left on it, "I... can do it too, can't I?"

Aunt Hong was so sad, she held back her tears and turned her face away again, "Who allowed you to call me like that?" She caught a glimpse of Liu Xi over there from the corner of her eye, and she knew that some things were said too seriously today, but she couldn't be completely relieved, Regarding the matter of Liu Xi and Xiao Wu, she was worried and sad, it was not good to agree, and it was not good not to agree.

It was a dilemma.

Jin Lingdang looked sad, wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say?

"Wow-wow-"

At this moment, Wei Lei in Shen Jiangli's arms burst into tears.

"Whose doll is this?" Aunt Hong pulled out the corner of her clothes, took the opportunity to stay away from the three young masters, and came to Shen Jiangli's side.

Shen Jiangli said seriously: "Wei Shi."

Aunt Hong's expression froze, she hugged Wei Lei from Shen Jiangli's hand, coaxing her and said, "Little baby is not hugged like this, you little girls don't understand, leave it to me." Child, she was in a daze, as if she had returned to the moment when she hugged Jingtan for the first time 20 years ago.

The little baby cried loudly, with innocent eyes.

Her heart softened, and Aunt Hong held back her tears and smiled, "Don't cry, don't cry." Thinking of the days and nights she spent nurturing the child, Aunt Hong was afraid that she would cry here, "It's cold here, I'll take the baby in first." As she said that, she took a quick look at the three anxious children kneeling over there, "Go to work! Men don't flick their tears easily, and one or two cry like cats, and they are not afraid of being laughed at!" After finishing speaking, She glanced at Liu Xi hastily from the corner of her eye, some words were still stuck in her throat, she didn't know how to speak, so she could only choose to give up and coaxed the child to go to the room.

"Sister, sister." Shen Jiangli called quietly.

Liu Xi smiled with tears in her eyes, and the grievance in her heart did not lessen, "Sister, I'm fine." The more caring the person was, the more heartbreaking the words he said. Although Aunt Hong didn't drive her away in the end, she knew that she The gap between him and Aunt Hong, I'm afraid it will stay there forever.

Now it's Liu Xi who is in a dilemma. If she leaves, she is reluctant to part with Ah Lan. If she doesn't leave, she and Aunt Hong are under the same roof. I'm afraid this thorn will always be aching.

"I have something to do." Jin Ling looked at the three people over there with her hips on her hips, and her eyes fell on Jing Yuan first, "A Yuan, did you know about this a long time ago? You just deliberately slapped Xiao Wu!"

"This..." Jing Yuan shrank his neck, feeling uncomfortable.

Jin Lingdang's eyes moved to Jing Huan, and Jing Huan quickly waved his hands, "I... swear I didn't know anything before!"

Jing Huan changed the subject, frowned sideways, and stared at Jing Lan in shock, "Xiao Wu, you are really... bold! When will you be with Liu..." He quickly covered his mouth, "It's Sister Baili... Look at each other right of?"

"Honestly, I don't know." Jing Lan replied truthfully, stood up together with her two elder brothers, looked at Liu Xi again, and smiled slightly, "Maybe it's between life and death."

Liu Xi sniffed, picked up Jing Lan's clothes on the ground, shook the stained ash, walked forward, put the clothes back on Jing Lan, and said in a hoarse voice: "These days, my sister and I are going to the city Let’s find an inn to stay temporarily.”

Jing Lan pressed her hand, originally wanted to keep Liu Xi, but she knew what Liu Xi was in trouble for, so she had no choice but to give up, "Xi'er, wait for me for a few days."

Liu Xi nodded, "Okay."

Jing Lan looked at Jing Yuan, "Third brother, thank you today."

Jing Yuan sighed helplessly, "To be honest, I can't help you much. But after all, it's a family, and some knots can be untied slowly, be patient, and they will eventually be untied." After a slight pause, Jing Yuan lowered his voice and comforted, "Second brother's death has hit mother hard. Today you and Xiao Wu are here again. Mother has something to say. Don't take it to heart. She is just too sad."

"I know." Liu Xi nodded sadly.

Suddenly feeling warm in the palm, it turned out that Shen Jiangli was holding her hand quietly.Shen Jiangli wiped her tears and said distressedly: "No, cry."

Liu Xi held back her tears and smiled, "Okay, I will listen to my sister and not cry."

Jing Huan looked at Liu Xi complicatedly, nodded and said: "Mother is not a hard-hearted person, give her some time, and mother will get better." After speaking, he frowned and sighed, "Second brother would do those things ……well……"

"You two are really..." Jin Lingdang said half of what he said, and it could only be turned into a long sigh.After going through such a dangerous experience like a mirage, Jin Lingdang still has lingering fears when recalling those thrilling experiences. It is reasonable for these two people to have mutual affection.It's just that Liu Xi's former identity is placed here, Jin Lingdang can only sigh with emotion, Liu Xi must love Xiao Wu very much, otherwise, with her proud temperament, how could she bear these grievances?

Changing places, if Second Brother Jing dared to spy on her secretly, or took advantage of the situation to belittle her, Jin Lingdang would have stabbed him in the heart with a golden gun long ago.Thinking of this, she couldn't help abducting Jing Yuan, "Don't hide it from me next time!"

Jing Yuan was in pain, and bitterly said: "Don't hide it, don't hide it."

"Let mother be quiet these few days." Jing Lan said out loud.

Jing Yuan's eyes were complicated, "Xiao Wu, in fact, you don't have to be like this."

"I know that I definitely can't replace the second brother, but I am willing to call this mother." Jing Lan said sincerely, "I have never regarded her as an aunt. I think, I will treat her better, one day, She can feel less sad." Saying that, she looked at the fourth brother and the third brother, "And you, too."

Jing Huan rubbed his nose, "How close are brothers? I just want everyone to be well, and I don't want anything else."

"Yes, everyone should be well." Jing Yuan patted Jing Lan on the shoulder, "Especially you, you are the head of the family and the governor. If you leave it to me, don't mention it in the future."

"but I……"

"Third brother is willing to assist you, don't think about what you have." After Jing Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Jin Lingdang, "Lingdang, let's go, let's help Xiao Wu with military affairs for another day."

Jin Lingdang was stunned for a moment, seeing Jing Yuan's wink, she nodded and said, "Okay."

When Jing Yuan left, he patted Jing Lan on the shoulder again, "Don't be afraid, the sky is falling, and Third Brother is still here."

After finishing speaking, Jing Yuan and Jin Lingdang turned around and went to the main hall.

Jin Lingdang followed him silently, the farther away, the more tears in Jing Yuan's eyes, she couldn't help holding his hand, and said softly: "You can cry."

"I know it's not their fault, and I also know that my second brother made a mistake. In fact, I can't blame anyone..." After a slight pause, Jing Yuan said dumbly, "I'm just like my mother. I feel sad because I lost another brother. .”

Yes.Whether it was Jing Yuan, Jing Huan, or even Jing Lan, they all felt sad about Wei Jianxuan's departure.

From now on, I will never mention it. After the years and wind have eroded, there should be a day when I can let go.

"Sister Baili lost more than one person." After Jin Lingdang said this, she turned her head to look at the back of Liuxi in the courtyard. She stood there alone, "The Liu family of Xishan is also destroyed, A Yuan, she No father, no younger sister, no younger brother." She suddenly understood Xiao Wu's presumptuousness deeply, why she must give Liu Xi a home today, "You are sad, you can hug and cry with brothers, or hold Aunt Hong Let's cry together, she...only Sister Shen and Xiao Wu are left."

Jing Yuan had a complex expression, and said hoarsely, "Ling Dang, let's help Xiao Wu and Sister Baili together?"

"En." Jin Lingdang nodded.

The author has something to say: More text~ It takes time to heal the heart knot. Of course, Aunt Hong is not an unreasonable person.
