When Meng Hetong went back, he was already a little groggy. As soon as he returned to the house and lay down on the bed, he fell asleep!
It's just that this night, he didn't sleep well. Xu Qingmo was all in his dreams, but he was like a bystander, standing in the distance and watching the woman whose family was ruined, but who still refused to bow her head and admit defeat.
In the dream, Xu Qingmo was riding on a tall horse, her eyes were sad but firm. She stood beside Xie Suxian, looking at the old residence of Ningyuan Hou Mansion not far away, which had its plaque removed, her eyes were full of sadness.
He wanted to say something, but no sound came out when he opened his mouth. He seemed to be trapped in someone else's body, and watched helplessly as Xu Qingmo followed Xie Suxian and left the capital.
The moment Xu Qingmo left, the scene around him was like a fleeting moment, changing rapidly. Not long after, news came back that the border was defeated and Xu Qingmo was dead!
The last child of the Xu family died!
Meng Hetong stood there, feeling extremely heartbroken, but he could not speak or cry. The girl who was trampled into the ground desperately tried to crawl out of the mud, and then was completely beaten by the war horse. Stepped into the quagmire!
There was a sense of despair rising directly in my heart, not sad or sad, but a kind of despair that I had never experienced before. This seemed to be the feeling of despair after the last hope was ruthlessly destroyed.
Meng Hetong didn't understand why he was in such an emotion, and then his body appeared in Ruyun Pavilion. He was sitting there drinking, with a woman he had never seen sitting in his arms.
There was a loud noise, followed by screams that echoed throughout the sky. He walked slowly over and saw the woman lying on the ground.
Blood seeped out bit by bit from the top of her head, slowly staining the ground red. He walked to the edge and saw Xu Qingmo lying there.
She had changed a lot, she was pale and thin. He was wondering why she was here, until she pulled him: "...just a roll of straw mat..."
In the past, the daughter of the Xu family was so flamboyant. Xu Qingmo, who never lowered her head even when her family was in decline, was now reduced to begging for a roll of straw mat.
He buried her and occasionally brought a candied haws to see him. A sudden thunder passed by and he saw a translucent person sitting on the tombstone. They looked at each other. When he wanted to reach out and grab her, She has turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared!
Meng Hetong woke up with a start. His hands were still stretched out as if to grab something. He was breathing heavily, and his cheeks were already covered with tears.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Yusheng came over quickly.
Meng Hetong looked back at Yusheng and was stunned for a long time. Then he suddenly stood up, threw on some clothes and ran out. When Yusheng came to his senses and chased after him with his shoes, Meng Hetong had disappeared.
Meng Hetong rushed to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion like crazy, without any regard for etiquette, and rushed in. The servant originally wanted to stop him, but saw that Meng Hetong was not even wearing shoes. He was stunned for a moment and disappeared.
Meng Hetong rushed into Xu Qingmo's yard. Xu Qingmo had just gotten up and was about to practice his sword. Suddenly, a gust of wind passed behind him and she was held in Meng Hetong's arms. She was startled and subconsciously wanted to break away, but she heard him say: "Mo Mo, if there is a next life, can you be my wife?"
Xu Qingmo instantly stiffened: "What did you say?"
"Tell me, how come you, a woman who can carry a sword to the battlefield, lost to that bastard Xie Suxian?" Meng Hetong's voice was very soft, full of sadness, "It's you, isn't it, Xu Qingmo, It’s you, isn’t it?”
Tears instantly fell from the corners of his eyes. Listening to Meng Hetong's words, Xu Qingmo understood that the current Meng Hetong was the same Meng Hetong who sat in front of his grave and talked to him.
"It's me!" Xu Qingmo turned around slowly. She looked at Meng Hetong, whose eyes were red, and stretched out her hand to gently rub his face. "I came in advance to pave the way for the next life!"
Meng Hetong hugged Xu Qingmo and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his own flesh and blood. Tears fell uncontrollably: "Thank you for your hard work during this time!"
Xu Qingmo laughed: "It's not hard, I have to thank you for that roll of straw mat. At least it gave me a place to stay!"
Meng Hetong paused: "What I bought is a good coffin. What's the straw mat? Although I am a dandy, I also know the rules. I want to exchange for a wife with only a straw mat. It is too delusional!"
Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong for a long time, and finally smiled and said: "Meng Hetong, I want to eat candied haws!"
"Okay!" Meng Hetong put his forehead against Xu Qingmo's, and the two of them smiled happily.
But before waiting for a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Meng rushed to the door with shoes and clothes, grabbed Meng Hetong's ears and took him back. Ningyuan Hou did not pursue the matter, and just sighed!
Mrs. Xu was a little impatient by his plaintive look, and finally pushed the little fat man into Marquis Ningyuan's arms: "If you have that time to sigh, why not hold the child for a while! Mo Mo is not married yet, so sad It’s too early!”
"Hey, what do you know? The flower bones I raised in the palm of my hand are about to be taken away by someone. I can't be sad anymore?" Marquis Ningyuan's face was full of dissatisfaction, but it happened that the flower in his arms was The little fat man was babbling very happily.
"Yes, Mo Mo is indeed a flower girl, but I only remember when you chased her and beat her, but I don't remember when you held her in your hands!" Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes, "I won't talk about anything else. Even if you really get married, it's just a matter of crossing the street, why are you so sad!"
Ning Yuanhou, who was still very sad at first, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly he seemed to understand: "Yes, it's just one street away, just take a stroll and you'll be there!"
Mrs. Xu looked at Marquis Ning Yuan with more and more disgust. She hugged the child back and looked at Marquis Ning Yuan with disgust: "Your father is really old and his brain is not working well. Don't imitate him, you know?" ?”
Ning Yuanhou felt aggrieved and snatched the child back. Without waiting for Mrs. Xu's reaction, he ran away very fast and took the child out to play, which made Mrs. Xu laugh angrily.
Mrs. Xu finally managed to finish most of the things in the house. When she went back, she saw that Xu Qingmo and Princess Zhengyang had gone out together, saying they were going to see Princess Zhaoyang. Only Xu Yanquan was left in the house.
"Why don't you go?" Madam Xu looked at Xu Yanquan who was sitting there reading a book, feeling a little strange.
"Mo Mo said, men should not get involved in my daughter's family affairs!" Xu Yanquan raised his eyebrows helplessly.
