The most embarrassing thing in this world is when you regard her as the only refuge of your soul, love her with infinite tenderness and cannot extricate yourself, and secretly expect her to open her heart and fall in love with you as soon as possible.

Suddenly you realize that the other person's heart has already been opened, and you have been passionately in love with him/her without knowing when. The so-called not understanding is just an excuse, and you are just a clown who is fooled without knowing it.

Yang Yanzong simply couldn't believe it, huge resentment rushed to his forehead, and his passionate tenderness was suddenly filled with ice, freezing his lungs and causing uncontrollable pain. At the same time, he felt ashamed for his stupidity, for being so easily manipulated by others, and for the feeling of loneliness and spiritual pilgrimage that he had developed the night before.

How could she do this? !

What did she take him for? !

He really wanted to hold her shoulders and ask her loudly, how could she do this? ! Wasn't he good enough for her? Does he have to give her all his heart and liver?

He was so angry that his eyes suddenly became hot and he closed his eyes tightly!

Yang Yanzong knew that she was following him, but he never looked back. The wind in the wilderness in mid-autumn was already quite cold, whistling so hard that people could not open their eyes. He took a long breath and whipped the horse hard. The big brown horse felt the pain and leaped out like an arrow.

Yang Yanzong returned to the mansion at lightning speed in even less time than when he came here. His face was terribly cold and he rode his horse straight into the gate, turned over in the front yard, threw the reins, and rushed straight to the outer study.

Azhao and other personal soldiers knew him very well. If they had seen him in this attitude of not allowing strangers to enter under normal circumstances, they would have been afraid to move around and would have been cautious. But today, for some reason, the mansion was in chaos. Yang Yanzong had just stepped into the mansion when Azhao, who had been pacing around in the front yard like an ant on a hot pan, hurried over to greet him!

"Master!... Madam, you are finally back!"

Azhao was about to cry; something big had happened in the mansion.

Yang Yanzong frowned, but before he could speak, Ah Zhao said with a sad face: "It's bad, it's bad! Master, Madam, the old lady stabbed the master, the master is seriously injured and dying, Zhang Xin and Mou An are now performing a caesarean section on the master!!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone who came in. Yang Yanzong was stunned for three seconds, then suddenly shook off Azhao's hand and rushed inside.

Oh my god, how could this happen? !

Su Ci hurried and almost fell when she got off the horse. She didn't expect to receive such explosive news as soon as she entered the door. She and A Zhao looked at each other for a long time, and then hurriedly followed Yang Yanzong in.

Yang Chongying was stabbed almost an hour ago, and the emergency surgery in the room was almost coming to an end. Fortunately, Zhang Xin and Mou An often came to the mansion to borrow Su Ci's manuscripts, and the two of them also had a small duty room on the west side of the outer courtyard. They were all here today, otherwise Su Ci would not be at home, and by the time they found someone, Yang Chongying would be dead.

The strong smell of blood could be smelled even outside the room. Yang Yanzong propped up his forehead and said, "What's going on? Tell me, what's going on?!"

Da Ming, who was standing next to him, stepped forward quickly and recounted the entire incident in detail.

Speaking of which, it was because a month ago, Yang Yanzong felt pity for his elderly mother who was lying on the sickbed and mumbling in her sleep, and asked him to come and see her if the master was feeling better.

When Yang Yanzong heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and closed his eyes in pain.

This was actually nothing. Naturally, his subordinates had taken Yang Yanzong's words to heart. After a spring and summer of recuperation, Yang Chongying's health was much better than last winter. He was able to take a walk in the garden a few days ago. In order to give face to his eldest son, he went to Shou'an Hall to visit Yan.

Everything was fine at the beginning. Yan hadn't seen her husband for a long time. When she saw that he came to see her, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She felt wronged and cried bitterly.

Yang Chongying was also surprised. The wound on Yan's forehead was quite serious. The scab hadn't fallen off for more than half a month, and there was a deep pit.

Yan's tears were a sign of weakness, and the other party was injured. Yang Chongying rarely softened his expression and sat down to comfort her.

This was a rare warm moment for the couple in recent years. Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Mrs. Feng and others quickly disappeared, tiptoeing down with the maids.

But who knew that after such a flash, something big would happen in the end!

It turned out that Yan and Yang Chongying were getting along fine. After all, they had a very good time together. They were amazed and in love. Otherwise, Yan would not have been able to marry into a local gentry family from a refugee.

The two recalled the past and found that the atmosphere was good at the beginning, and there was even a tendency towards reconciliation.

But the problem is that a cow is still a cow even if it is taken to Beijing. The problem between these two people is really not a small one, and it is even more impossible to completely resolve the misunderstanding by just a few words. They have no misunderstandings. The ice is three feet thick and it didn’t freeze overnight. It is definitely not a coincidence that the two of them are like this today.

Everything was fine at the beginning, but as Yang Chongying blamed Yan for her inappropriate behavior and confused thinking, and demanded that she change her ways, the two started arguing.

As the argument went on, they fell out again. Yang Chongying angrily pointed at Yan and cursed her for being stubborn and a bitch, and said he would divorce her. During the argument, Yan was slapped in the face. She was extremely resentful. When Yang Chongying stood up and turned to leave in anger, she reached out and pulled Yang Chongying's back. Yang Chongying was weak due to long-term illness, and fell to the ground unexpectedly.

With new grudges and old grievances, Yan became more and more aggressive and in a fit of rage, she directly pulled out the dagger that Yang Yanzong had given her for self-defense - Yang Yanzong had always been in the business of losing his life, and his family could easily be involved in it, so he had given each of his family members a dagger for self-defense in his early years.

Yan pounced on Yang Chongying and stabbed him several times at the site of his old wound. She was knocked over by Yang Chongying, who tried to crawl out. Yan got up and chased him like a madman. Fortunately, the old women and maids who heard the quarrel and the noise rushed in to stop them. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know what would happen now.

After Daming finished speaking, the scene was really silent. Yang Yanzong had a splitting headache. At this moment, the door of the room slammed shut with a creak. The operation was over!

Everyone rushed forward. Zhang Xin and Mou An hurriedly bowed and greeted him. Their foreheads were wet with sweat, and they had not had time to change their bloodstained white robes. Fortunately, the result was good. Zhang Xin said, "Master, Madam, the treatment was timely. The injury has been treated. After the operation, the old man's breathing has stabilized."

Although the injury was weak, it was stable and the person was saved and not dead.

But this operation was really difficult, with a huge amount of blood loss and many complicated wounds. Yan was really determined to pierce the old wounds. Fortunately, she did not pierce the heart or lungs. I don't know if it was because Yang Chongying's old injuries had repeatedly recurred and he had been tormented to death in the past year, which left a deep impact on Yan, so she subconsciously attacked there.

But it was fortunate that there were no important organs at that location, otherwise Zhang Xin and Mou An would be at a loss. Their skills were not yet at the level to repair important organs, and the current conditions could not support such a major operation.

Even so, the two were in a very difficult situation. Yang Chongying had many intestinal cuts. This was the most complicated and serious abdominal surgery they had ever performed. Although the operation was successful, they were still a little unsure. After speaking quickly, they looked at Su Ci, wanting to talk to her and let her check the follow-up.

Su Ci nodded, hurried to the next room, changed her clothes and went back in. Zhang Xinmuan quickly followed, talking quickly as they walked.

Yang Yanzong washed his face, put on a clean robe and went in. His father's face was as pale as paper, and the strong smell of blood was pungent.

At this moment, he really felt dizzy.

But no matter what, this matter has to be resolved eventually, and there must be a result.

Mrs. Feng cried with snot and tears: "My dear, my dear, please go and see the old lady!"

"The old lady was blinded by greed for a moment. She was wrong, but she doesn't want to die. Young Master, please save her!"

Yes, before Yang Chongying was taken away for surgery, he really hated Yan, the vicious woman. He pointed at Yan and said hatefully: "We must punish this vicious woman according to the laws of the country and the rules of the family!!"

In ancient times, there were the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues: the ruler is the bond between his subjects, the father is the bond between his sons, and the husband is the bond between his wife. The former have absolute power over the latter, and the latter are required to obey the former unconditionally.

A father who kills his son does not have to pay with his life.

As for the father accusing his son of being unfilial, he doesn't need any evidence. He can just file the case with the Prime Minister, and it will be a done deal.

The same is true for the relationship between the ruler and his subjects.

As the saying goes, if the king orders his subjects to die, the subjects have to die.

As for the husband and wife, it is not to the point where they can be killed without paying with their lives, but we can get a glimpse of the situation from this.

Yan severely injured her husband, which was a serious crime both according to national law and family rules. The most serious punishment was death, while the lightest was exile and imprisonment. There would be no pardon for severe punishment.

It was the same for fear of hurting Yang Yanzong's reputation, so they didn't bring the matter to the public and handled it privately.

Given Yang Chongying's hatred for Yan, she was really doomed this time. Even if he didn't want Yang Yanzong to be involved in the dilemma of mourning, he had a hundred ways to kill her, making her live a life worse than death and regret living in this world.

After Yan's blood boiled, she became frightened and burst into tears. She wanted to see Yang Yanzong. At this time, she remembered the good points of her eldest son.

"Son, son, I don't want to die! I was wrong, I beg you, can you please ask your father for mercy?"

As soon as Yang Yanzong entered the room, Yan rushed over. She was locked up in Shou'an Hall, and even her hands were cut. Her hands were bloodstained and her clothes were not changed. She looked panicked and old. She cried and knelt down.

Yang Yanzong also knelt down in front of his mother. He had a splitting headache, but the person in front of him was his mother who had carried him for ten months and gave birth to him. He drank the milk made from her blood. His mother had also raised him with love and had looked forward to his growing up quickly. The relationship between mother and son was once very good.

He couldn't really let his father kill his mother.

What kind of sin is this really? !

Yan cried for a long time, her voice was hoarse and her tears were flowing. Yang Yanzong finally said in a hoarse voice: "Mother, I will go and tell father."

Yan was overjoyed, "Son, son! I'm lucky I still have you!"

Yang Yanzong was physically and mentally exhausted. He slowly stood up, called the maid and asked her to change Yan's clothes, then turned around and left.

It was already dark, and the dim twilight engulfed the earth. He had eaten all day, but he didn't feel hungry at all. He stood beside the flower bed of Shou'an Hall like a sculpture for a long time, but finally had to walk towards Hongrui Hall.

Yang Chongying had already woken up. He was in severe pain and had no painkillers. He had endured half the afternoon. Su Ci thought about giving him several injections. This was an analgesic acupuncture method she had developed after she was injured. It was a modification of traditional Chinese medicine and was used for postoperative purposes. The effect was not ideal, but it was some.

After the acupuncture, Yang Chongying finally felt much better. Although he felt a little numb and heavy, he finally calmed down.

As soon as the severe pain eased, he immediately thought of Yan. Before Yang Yanzong arrived, he had been cursing Yan for a long time. He hated Yan so much that he wanted to eat her flesh and sleep on her skin!

"I'm going to skin her alive! I'm going to make this bitch pay with blood!! She's not even worthy of being your mother!!"

Yang Chongying was filled with hatred and said to Yang Yanzong.

Yang Yanzong smiled bitterly, but Yan was his biological mother. He gritted his teeth, stood up suddenly, knelt in front of his father's bed, kowtowed heavily, and said in a hoarse voice: "Dad, Mom was wrong, she was very wrong! Lock her up in the manor and never let her take a step out, never let her return home, okay?"

Yang Chongying was stunned. He stared at his son in a daze, and met Yang Yanzong's helpless and bitter eyes. A feeling of anger of betrayal suddenly surged in his heart!

“You, you…”

He knew best how his son was decisive.

Yang Chongying thought of many things in an instant. His face flushed with anger, then turned pale with pain. For a long time, the father and son looked at each other. His Adam's apple rolled, and suddenly he calmed down: "... Go away, don't come to see me again."

In a word, the disappointment is palpable.

But Yang Yanzong had nothing to say.

They are all men, no nonsense. Yang Chongying closed his eyes and no longer looked at him.

Yang Yanzong clenched his fists, his Adam's apple rolled up and down for a moment, his eyes were hot, and he kowtowed three times: "I am an unfilial son and have disappointed my father."

He choked up: "Thank you, father."

Yang Chongying was extremely disappointed. He remained silent and refused to even look at Yang Yanzong.

Yang Yanzong knelt for a long time until the person who took his temperature came. He slowly stood up and walked out silently.

After wandering around like a ghost for a long time, he finally returned to the outer study, slowly opened the door and walked in.

"Husband!"

Su Ci had ordered the kitchen staff to keep the soup and porridge warm and on the fire. When she saw Yang Yanzong coming out of Hongrui Hall, the cook quickly cooked the noodles. She hurriedly followed him with the food box.

Yang Yanzong turned around slowly. Su Ci lit a small lamp beside the square table and took out a bowl of thin silver noodles and a bowl of clear porridge from the food box. Both were easy to digest and light, and there was also a bowl of steaming dark brown soup.

She put the silver chopsticks away, turned around, and looked at him with watery eyes and concern.

Of course Yang Yanzong knew that she had followed him back, and he also knew that she had been busying around Yang Chongying, but the two of them had never spoken a word to each other during that time.

Most of the day had passed since Ji Chengtan was discovered, and the two were finally alone face to face.

Facing her concerned eyes, Yang Yanzong's Adam's apple rolled for a moment. A thin light shone on his face, revealing an indescribable fragility and fatigue. He seemed to have been stretched to the limit, but his spine was still straight. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did you lie to me?"

"I'm not lying to you, really!"

Su Ci took a step forward and wanted to hold his hand, but he dodged it immediately.

He took a step back and bumped into the flower table in front of the windowsill. He was tripped by the table and half of his body fell on the window sill. Yang Yanzong supported the wall with one hand and covered his eyes with the other hand. The light was too dazzling and he suddenly felt that he could not bear it.

Too many things happened today. Before he could enjoy the pleasure of achieving a phased victory in foreign affairs, he suffered a heavy blow.

Outside, he can be said to be invincible, and the only people who can hurt him are his family members.

His father’s disappointed eyes and expression were still before his eyes, and Yang Yanzong could not help but close his eyes tightly.

"Go away, I want some quiet time."

After a while, he put down his hand and said in a hoarse voice.

He was really too tired and he didn't want to talk about anything else today.

Su Ci refused, "No, I won't leave! If I leave, I don't know what you will do next!"

"You're angry again and you're not coming back. I don't want that."

She had almost figured out Yang Yanzong's ways of getting angry and upset, so Su Ci was willing to disobey him! We must make things clear today. He turned aside and refused to look at her, but she stepped forward and hugged his back: "Anyway, you have to take the medicine and noodles, and then listen to me finish my words, and then I will leave, otherwise I won't leave!"

She hugged him tightly. Yang Yanzong struggled twice, but she refused to let go. The fire in his chest, which was extinguished by fatigue, suddenly ignited. He was annoyed and said angrily: "Then what else do you want to say? Ah! What else is there to say?!"

He struggled hard, shaking Su Ci's arms away, turned around and glared at her, his eyes full of indignation, hatred, and deep sadness. All these emotions intertwined into a huge resentment. He used all his strength to suppress it so as not to do anything when his emotions were out of control. He clenched his fist and finally slammed it heavily on the table, turned back and stared at her: "Whatever you say, I'm listening!"

I want to see what you can come up with!

With a "splash", he moved too much and knocked over the food box. The bowls of noodles, porridge, and soup on the table were scattered all over the floor and splashed on Su Ci's hand, which was a little hot. She held her hand, but looked up and looked at him without avoiding.

"Ji Chengtan, you should know this too."

Yang Yanzong was stunned: "I know, what do I know?!"

He was annoyed and sneered, but before he could say the second word, Su Ci interrupted him: "Do you remember when I promised you to renew the engagement?"

In the southwest, after coming out of the mine tunnel of the big silver mine, under the lush cliffs, she agreed to marry him, and he kissed her for the first time. At that time, he noticed that her technique was a little bit awkward, so he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who have you kissed before?"

Su Ci was not afraid of him. She responded at that time: "Who doesn't have some aspirations when they are young and ignorant?"

She admitted that she had been in a relationship before, but after her assurances and opposition, she finally admitted to letting it go.

Su Ci was extremely grateful today that she had given Yang Yanzong a heads-up at that time.

"Don't say you forgot!"

Yang Yanzong was startled, and he suddenly remembered.

But this... the anger in his chest stagnated, but immediately rose again. If she wanted to just fool him like this, she was dreaming!

He gnashed his teeth and said angrily: "You are being vague and making excuses!" It is not the case at all? Is the only thing he cares about the existence of Ji Chengtan before marriage? !

He was going to be pissed off by her!

good! Let’s not talk about Ji Chengtan’s existence for now, but is this just a normal talk? They were engaged, and had been in love for a long time and had even given each other tokens of love, but she had never given him a token of love!

When he thought of this, Yang Yanzong felt so ashamed and angry that he felt like a joke!

But even at this point, she still told him that if he had never been in love, he would understand. The most shameful thing was that he actually believed it, believed it wholeheartedly, and not only gave in again and again, but was even willing to wait for him, wait for the day when she was willing to open her heart!

"You lied to me!"

He said hoarsely: "Do you think I'm a fool? I'm easy to fool. If you say some confusing words and bring them up again today, I'll have to admit it!"

In the end, he was not only angry, but also sad. There were too many emotions accumulated tonight. His eyes were hot and he couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands.

Yes, he was really sad. He treated her with such sincerity!

Su Ci's eyes became hot. She endured it and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I'm going to tell you anyway!"

"I have never truly loved or even liked Ji Chengtan! In my heart, from beginning to end, I have only had feelings for one man, and that is you."

Maybe it was far from enough in his eyes, but it was indeed only for him. In Su Ci's past and present life, the only one who had touched, moved, and had feelings for her was Yang Yanzong!

This man is strong and domineering, but at this moment, he treats her with his whole heart.

"I'm sorry, I'm wrong, maybe there is something wrong with me."

"But, not a single word I told you was a lie!"

After Su Ci finished speaking, she found that her eyes were also wet, which was ridiculous. She wiped them vigorously. After she finished speaking, Zhang Xin was still waiting for her to observe the second stage of Yang Chongying's condition after the anesthesia wore off, so she turned around and ran out.

With a clang, the door opened and she ran faster and faster, and soon the sound of her footsteps became inaudible.

Yang Yanzong gradually became stunned. When she spoke faster and faster, he found himself very disappointed. When she said "I am the only one who moved you" which sounded like sweet talk, his anger subsided a little.

He saw her wiping her eyes, and his heart softened.

He cursed himself in his heart for being so useless, but his eyes followed her back. She trotted into the darkness. He stood there for a moment, and finally followed her out quickly!
