It can be said that the city lord has given everything she can for the Pei family, but Pei Sijun's son and daughter have hurt the heart of the city lord Huayuan.

"Now that Young City Lord has gone, what Pei Sijun did has paid the price."

City Lord Huayuan was noncommittal. After a while of silence, he said a little dullly: "I really regret it when I think about it now. Wu Jiang entrusted Chu Chu to me. I shouldn't give Chu Chu the position of Princess Chu. ."

If she hadn’t claimed that Chen Chuchu was her daughter in the morning, Chen Chuchu would naturally not have such ambitions and extreme temperament, let alone cause the current situation, he... won’t die... Sangqi doesn’t know. What should I say, but I feel a little distressed.

City Lord Huayuan has been strong for a lifetime, but now he has become more and more sentimental.

There is a saying that the older a person is, the easier it is to remember the past. Although City Lord Huayuan has never said it, San Qi knows that City Lord Huayuan has now begun to regret it.

Especially the death of the city lord's husband-in-law, made the city lord Huayuan completely heartbroken.

What Huayuan City Lord paid for Chen Chuchu was almost the price of life, but now he has had such an end, let alone Huayuan City Lord, even San Qi felt it was not worth it.

"He blamed me till he died..." Huayuan City Lord hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "You said, if he looked at these in the sky, would he laugh at me?"

Sang Qi felt helpless when he felt distressed. He could only comfortingly said: "How come, Don't worry about it, City Lord..." "I don't want to worry about it..." City Lord Huayuan said halfway, but didn't go on.

City Master Huayuan stood up, skillfully took out a scroll of calligraphy from the porcelain jar on the side, and slowly unfolded it to watch.

The portrait shows a woman in a red dress with a horse. The woman is holding the horse's rein in one hand, and pointing forward with the other hand, her face is bright and bright and the eyes are like cold stars, but the expression on her face is as dazzling as a blazing sun, as if she is watching Like someone.

If you let others look at it, you might think that the woman in the painting is Chen Xiaoqian, but in fact Sang Qi knows that this painting is when City Lord Huayuan was young.

Huayuan City Lord has only two daughters in his life. The eldest daughter is most similar to her husband and son-in-law, while the younger daughter is Xiao mother, who is not only similar in appearance, but also in temperament.

"City Lord, Young City Master and you are simply carved out of the same mold."

Sanchi said with emotion.

The city lord Huayuan stretched out his hand to stroke the inscription on the portrait, but did not speak. The inscription only had the words "Qing Ning" written on it, followed by "Gift Yuming".

Words are the best characters, and paintings are also the best paintings.

Before he died that year, he burned all his portraits.

At that time, City Lord Huayuan was dealing with the war between Huayuan City and Xuanhu City, and he had no time to take care of his own affairs.

Later, I heard from the attendant in the mansion that he was already sick and couldn't get out of bed, but after taking the medicine that day, he was much better and he was able to walk around in the yard.

He went to the kitchen to make a bowl of wonton noodles for his daughter, and made tea in the yard. While drinking the good Songshan Yunwu, he tore his portrait into the small red clay stove, the attendant asked He, he just said that cooking tea like this will not have a fragrance.

And that night, the concierge in the city lord’s mansion went to the camp outside the city to report the funeral to the garden lord who had personally taken over the guards and was so busy.

On the second day, the city lord’s mansion hung up, and there were seven days after the funeral that the city lord Huayuan ignored the affairs of Huayuan city. After the first seven days passed, the city lord Huayuan removed all the elements, and it seemed that nothing happened.

City Lord Huayuan himself is not good at Danqing, and he rarely went out when his husband-in-law was still there, so now there is no portrait of the city owner's husband-in-law.

After so many years, the only thing in the mansion that could prove that the person named Qingning existed was the lowest memorial tablet in the ancestral hall, and beside that memorial tablet, there was an identical blank memorial tablet, which was only engraved with a seal knife. The six characters "Yuming's Spiritual Position" will only be painted after the death of Huayuan City Lord.

There is a saying in Huayuancheng that if one of the husband and wife died, if you want to renew the relationship in the next life, you must erect a memorial tablet for the person who has not died at the same time, and then write the name on the person who has died. One can cross the Naihe Bridge together.

After looking at it for a while, City Lord Huayuan put away the portrait in his hand and carefully returned it to its original place.

At this moment, an attendant walked in and respectfully reported to the city lord Huayuan: "City lord, the big princess is here."

"Yuan Yuan is here?"

After hearing these words, City Lord Huayuan was stunned subconsciously, but then quickly recovered and asked: "Isn't Yuan Yuan sick recently?

What's up? "

The attendant thought for a while, and then said: "The great princess said that he had something to tell you, but he didn't say what it was."

Upon hearing this, City Lord Huayuan said: "Let Yuanyuan come in quickly."

The attendant took the order, and within a short while, Chen Yuanyuan was pushed in by Su Mu, because the threshold of the study was a bit high, Sang Qi also went to help.

"mother."

Chen Yuanyuan nodded slightly at Huayuan City Lord.

In fact, for Chen Yuanyuan, mother is a very distant word. She has been weak and sick since she was a child. Although the city lord has never treated her harshly, he has also fulfilled the responsibility of a mother, but she has always treated her as close as her two sisters, and she is also sensitive. Suspicious, so Chen Yuanyuan and Huayuan City Lord have been extremely distant for so many years.

Although City Lord Huayuan had always cared about his life, Chen Yuanyuan always felt something different.

After thinking about it, Chen Yuanyuan said to the city lord Huayuan: "Mother, I have something to tell you."

When Huayuancheng heard Chen Yuanyuan’s words, he knew that he should have something to say to her alone, so he turned his head to look at Sanqi who was standing aside, and said, "Go down first, I will call you if something happens. ."

Sang Qi naturally understood the meaning of Huayuan City Lord, so he turned around and left without hesitation, and Su Mu left with him.

For a while, only Chen Yuanyuan and Huayuan City Lord remained in the study.

City Lord Huayuan looked at Chen Yuanyuan's pale face, sighed slightly, and said softly: "If you have anything to say, you don't have to talk to your mother."

Chen Yuanyuan nodded gently, and said to the city lord Huayuan: "Did my mother know about Chen Chuchu's movements recently?"
