Twilight Cloud Returns

It's night, Yangzhou prison.

Gu Xiaorui accompanied Xue Wanjun, who was wearing a black cloak, to this point.

He handed her the food box in his hand, and said: "Madam, you can rest assured to see off Mr. Wei, the little one will stay here."

Xue Wanjun took it, Xu was grateful for the kindness of the young master, and also respectful to his personal servant, said: "Thank you."

The jailer first opened Xue Liandao's cell door for her. She saw her father facing the wall and called softly, "Daddy..."

Xue Liandao turned around abruptly, seeing clearly that the person who came was the daughter he cared about the most in his life. He burst into tears and couldn't say a word: "Daddy...I'm sorry for you..."

Wiping the tears of remorse on his face, he hugged Xue Wanjun and wept bitterly, confessing: "Father shouldn't have had selfish desires in the first place, which caused the whole family to fall to this point...especially you and Guo'an...Dad is really stupid ah……"

Xue Liandao knew everything that happened in the outside world from the jailer's chat, and he deeply felt that he owed his daughter and son-in-law in this life, and he couldn't make up for it in every life.

Xue Wanjun held back her tears, she didn't want her father to still miss her before he left, so she forced a smile and said, "Daddy has never owed his daughter anything in his life. My daughter was born in a family of bells and lanterns. This is all bestowed by Daddy... My daughter will always be grateful for Daddy's nurturing grace..."

Her well-behaved and sensible behavior made Xue Lian even more uncomfortable, and all his words turned into his tears.

Xue Wanjun took out his father's favorite food from the food box, "Please forgive my daughter for being unfilial, she can't cook a good meal for you..."

Xue Liandao held the bowl, not knowing what to eat.

At this time, the jailer urged: "It's almost time..."

Xue Wanjun still had nostalgia in his eyes, Xue Lian pushed her out, "My good boy, go and see Guoan..."

Xue Wanjun knelt on the ground and saluted, tears of stubbornness finally fell on the wet stone slab, and sang: "Daughter Xue Shiwanjun, kneel down to send off to Father!"

Xue Lian watched her walk forward. He didn't expect God to forgive him for the many crimes he committed, but only hoped that God would take more pity on his only daughter and bless her and her grandson to be safe in this life.

The jailer opened Wei Guoan's cage for Xue Wanjun. He was leaning against the corner of the wall, and the cold moonlight did not want to visit him.A few days of depression made him have stubble on his face, and he no longer showed the heroic spirit of killing enemies on the battlefield in the past.

He seemed not happy with Xue Wanjun's arrival, instead he just raised his eyelids and said indifferently, "What are you doing here?"

Xue Wanjun knew that it was the Xue family who caused him trouble, and was about to apologize, but he continued to say ruthlessly: "If you had known that your Xue family was so dirty, even if I resisted the order and did not obey the order and splashed blood on the Jinluan Palace, I would definitely not accept it." I will marry a daughter like you who has the blood of a family that has brought disaster to the country and the people."

Hearing this, Xue Wanjun's hand to open the food box suddenly stopped, and she swallowed tears forcibly, holding back her tears.

Wei Guoan deliberately shook the injured chain, and the sound of the heavy iron hitting was even more indignant in this silent cage. He sneered and said, "I could have glorified the lintel, but I got a pair of shackles that Xue Shi gave me as a reward."

Xue Wanjun bit her lip, with tears rolling in her eyes, she whispered: "On behalf of my father and the Xue family, I apologize to my husband... I'm sorry, I've hindered your bright future..."

Wei Guoan saw that her body that should have been round during pregnancy had lost a lot of weight. He couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes stayed on her. He was obviously reluctant and couldn't bear her to bear these things, but he insisted on saying something that hurt her heart.

He frowned, and said cruelly: "My Wei family, although I started as a commoner from a small family, I have a clean foundation, and I am worthy of the sky above, and worthy of the people below. Your Xue family is against the sky and the law, God will not tolerate it, but read You and I have had a relationship between husband and wife, and you don’t have to be a widow for me after you leave. I will give you a divorce certificate and give you back your freedom; you find a doctor to prescribe a bowl of abortion medicine. I would rather have no one to offer incense after death. And I don't want to leave a descendant who has something to do with the Xue family..."

These words were like thorns, piercing her already fragile heart.

Xue Wanjun was sobbing, but she still took out the unopened box of rouge from her sleeve, put it in his hand, did not respond to what he just said, smiled forcedly, "It's the day of July and a half, Su Xin ran I searched all over Yangzhou, and found the last box of Begonia rouge. Even the owner of the cosmetic shop said that it is really difficult for someone to ask for Spring Begonia when autumn comes.”

Wei Guoan's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but increase his grip on Rouge.I saw her jade-like fingers gently caressing his dirty cheeks, begging: "Just put on some rouge for me one last time, is that okay?"

There was a trace of determination in Xue Wanjun's smile, as if it was her and not Wei Guoan who was about to die.

Wei Guoan accidentally opened the rouge, and the strong aroma of crabapple immediately covered the decayed smell around him.He dipped some of it with his slightly rough fingers, just like on the night of the wedding, it was gently smudged on her face, covering up the two silent tears...

Xue Wanjun smiled brightly, and said gently, "It's great to be your first wife."

As soon as the words fell, she pulled out the dagger that had been hidden for a long time, and stabbed at the heart!

With quick eyes and quick hands, Wei Guoan knocked out the dagger in a flash, shook her thin shoulders, and said angrily, "Are you crazy!"

The tears she had held back for a long time finally broke out at this moment, she cried in despair: "My husband is gone, my father is gone, Su Xin is gone, how do you let me live in this world!"

"I will take this child and go to the underworld to find you. If you dislike me from the Xue family, I will never disturb you in the underworld. Just let me follow you silently, okay?"

Wei Guoan hugged her into his arms, howling and begging like a desperate beast, "I didn't despise you... How can I, Wei Guoan, He De, marry such a good wife in this life? I just want you to live well, forget I don't want to be burdened in my stomach..."

Xue Wanjun thumped him, weeping silently, "You idiot, how could I forget you and fall into someone else's arms..."

The movement of the two startled Su Xin who was next door, Su Xin climbed to the pole and said anxiously: "Miss, you must not be stupid!"

Wei Guoan raised his head, stubbornly refused to shed tears in front of Tang'er, and comforted him: "Suxin is willing to die for you. If you seek death, how can you be worthy of her?"

She looked back at the disheveled Su Xin, who was also covered in shackles, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Su Xin, Jun Wan is sorry for you... sorry for you..."

Su Xin stretched out her hand to her, Xue Wanjun held it tightly, and the former said: "Since Miss asked Su Xin to call you sister, then sister must listen to her and live a good life for her..."

Wei Guoan kissed her forehead lightly, calling her small characters tirelessly: "Tang'er..."

Urged impatiently by the jailer, Xue Wanjun reluctantly left the prison.

Under the cover of night, Gu Xiaorui accompanied her back to the courtyard.

Outside the prison, Wei Zhongan was hiding under a tree, when the jailer clung to him like a pug, flatteringly said: "I've kept you waiting for a long time, please come in quickly, the sky will turn white in no time, you have to hurry up..."

Wei Zhongan took out a handful of golden melon seeds from his bosom and gave them to him. The jailer realized that they were used to reward people in the palace, and immediately bent even lower.

Wei Zhongan's eyes fell on Xue Wanjun, fierce and violent.

On August 25th of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the perpetrators of the Yangzhou Tieshi case, who were shocked by the court, lay down in front of the Yangzhou city gate.

A total of 32 and [-] members of the Xue family were all beheaded for public display. The blood was washed away after several autumn rains.

It was heard that before the beheading officer Yun Chuxiu gave the order, Xue's only daughter was not afraid in the face of danger, she looked at death like home, straightened her waist and counted the emperor's bad deeds in front of the whole city, which caused quite a commotion.

Rumors that the generals who were loyal to the emperor and the country were given to death because the emperor was afraid of his meritorious service were spread in Yangzhou for a while.

It wasn't until the newly appointed governor of Yangzhou, Yang Renqin, issued an official notice to catch a few thieves spreading rumors and beat them with fifty slaps in the street as a warning, that the turmoil was calmed down.

On this day, when Chu Mohen came to Yun Chuxiu's house, he saw Gu Xiaorui packing his bags and asked, "But you want to go back to Beijing?"

Yun Chuxiu raised his feather fan, and his words revealed a wave of disdain and resentment, "That man has killed all my lieutenants, what is my father-in-law going back to the capital for?"

As long as he thought of Gu Xiaorui's description of Xue Wanjun's sad farewell to Wei Guoan, his eyes would be filled with resentment.

On the day of going to the execution ground, when Wei Guoan passed by him, he asked desolately: "Young master, I have been a soldier all my life. I was born to serve the country, but I also died to serve the country... Is this really worth it?"

Yun Chuxiu clenched her fists tightly, but couldn't answer.

But in an instant, he put on a relieved smile, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for saving Tang'er, Guo'an will make a grass ring in his next life, and repay the kindness of this life."

His words of thanks fell on Yun Chuxiu's ears, but they were ear-piercing—couldn't Wei Guoan's death today have anything to do with him?

He watched the 130 heads of the Xue Manchu family fall one by one after the executioner swung the knife, until his eyes became sore and his mind became numb.

Yun Chuxiu was standing in the courtyard at the moment, feeling the howling autumn wind, feeling infinitely sad in her heart.He said suddenly: "Uncle Huang, until today, I have fully understood why Chu Tiankuo appointed me to be the dethroning envoy of Jiangnan..."

When Chu Mohen heard that he didn't even call him emperor brother anymore, he knew that his hatred for the Holy One was like a bottomless abyss.

"Wei Guoan was single-handedly picked up from the army by me, and he made great achievements in the battlefield. Chu Tiankuo naturally classified him as my party member, and couldn't wait to cut him off. So he gave Wei Guoan a special gift from the third-rank captain of the light car. The first is comparable to Xue Wanjun. Maybe Chu Tiankuo knew the real inside story of the Yangzhou Tieshi case from the very beginning, and deliberately wanted the two to get married, so as to stir Wei Guoan into the muddy waters of Yangzhou, and use my hands to get rid of him. After all, a wise monarch only punishes the wicked."

Yun Chuxiu smiled wryly and said: "Thinking about it this way, all the irrationality of that day will be solved...I repelled the Huns, not only did I fail to receive Chu Tiankuo's trust as the people said, but it aroused his jealousy. He has never let go of his vigilance and vigilance against me, so that Wei Guoan has been implicated..."

Chu Mohen didn't know what to say to comfort him, because what Zhihuan said was indeed all the thoughts and calculations of the Holy Majesty.

Just as the words were sentimental, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard.

Gu Xiaorui stopped what he was doing and went out of the hospital to have a look. Many people in Yangzhou surrounded the hospital.They heard that the young man and King Moxian would leave Yangzhou in a few days, so they came here to kneel and thank the two adults who helped the people eliminate harm.
