Chapter 722 The Old Man is Gone
Zhu Mo felt sad.
If Awu hadn't had an accident, his children would have been as smart and cute, right?
Will call myself daddy sweetly.
She would play tricks on her father in a quirky way.
"Don't look at it, it's not your child. You're just staring at him. Didn't you see that the two Phoenix clan aunts' faces changed?"
"Remember your identity. You are the ex-husband. Keep your distance."
"Now the Dragon and Phoenix tribes have become enemies because of you."
"Oh... I heard that the little phoenix was born to be the Phoenix Master, I don't know if it's true or not. But... the Phoenix Clan looks at him like their own child, so it's probably true. It's a pity that our Dragon Master is gone."
The clam spirit rolled his eyes and ran away with the brocade bag.
Zhu Mo felt bitter, but didn't know what to say.
"That's good. The Phoenix princess is a good person. She deserves to be rewarded. It's me who let her down." He looked in the direction where the little phoenix left.
Oddly enough, the child's voice was somewhat similar to the father he heard in his dream.
I guess what I think about during the day I dream about at night.
When Zhu Mo came back, Shanshan was just trembling as she got up from the ground.
Both legs were shaking and trembling continuously.
"Don't let my subordinates see this." He muttered quietly. This would not convince anyone.
Rong Che limped to his feet. The father and son snorted coldly, and then one went left and the other went right, and they parted ways.
"When you die, I will bury you two separately...one in the east, and the other in the west. One in the mountain, and the other drifting in the river." Shanshan turned around, made a face at him, stuck out her tongue, and limped away.
Rong Che took off his shoes and threw them straight at him.
"Rebellious son! You rebellious son!!" As expected, God is fair.
He took the benefits, and now the retribution has come!
Rong Che was going crazy. He thought to himself that this rebellious son would make him die of anger sooner or later.
Xu Shiyun was taking off her makeup and sitting under the lamp. As Rong Che walked in, a smile appeared on his face.
"Do you understand how powerful it is now? If it were just the two of us, we wouldn't be able to control this child." Ever since she became pregnant, Xu Shiyun could sense that Shanshan was fighting back instinctively.
"Fortunately I'm with Chaochao, otherwise this child would have been a disaster." She pressed her eyebrows, and Rong Che stepped forward and pressed her gently.
"He's just a little naughty now, but it's harmless. I think he has less anger in his heart." It seems that he has changed a lot.
Rong Che has extremely intuitive feelings.
After Shanshan was born, he often paid attention to her and observed her. He could not suppress the hostility and murderous intent in Shanshan's eyes.
The maids and wet nurses who served him were replaced one after another.
The maid with a weak horoscope suffers from nightmares every night.
Those who stay now are all very strong, and they have been replaced by several waves.
Even so, after Lu Chaochao returned home, he gave everyone talismans to wear. It can block the foul air that erodes day and night.
Xu Shiyun nodded, feeling relieved.
Rong Che never said that after Shanshan was born, he had dreamed of Shanshan killing people and blood flowing like a river for countless nights.
On countless nights, he also came to Shanshan's bedside.
A pair of hands were already placed on Shanshan's neck.
He has fought on the battlefield to defend his country for many years, so how could he allow killing to happen in his own home?
How can he be worthy of the people of the world?
Rong Che hesitated and wandered for countless nights without revealing a single bit.
Oh, the one who stopped hesitating was Lu Chaochao.
That night, he stood at the head of the bed. I ran into Lu Chaochao who was also holding a knife...
The father and daughter, one big and one small, looked at each other in silence.
Lu Chaochao said: Dad, you go back. I'll be watching over Shanshan and will never let him take a wrong step. My knife is fast...
With just one word, Rong Che turned and left.
That night, Shanshan covered herself with the quilt and cried until her eyes were red and swollen, and she shivered all night.
In the morning, the nurse screamed in fright and called for the imperial physician.
"Without Chaochao, our family will break up." Rong Che sighed with emotion. This is also the reason why he favors Chaochao the most.
Of course, the soft little girl has a sweet mouth, who wouldn’t feel pain?
Rong Che originally thought Yunniang would give birth to a daughter like Chaochao, but...
Oh, never mind, everyone has his own retribution.
After they finished washing up, Rong Che was drying Yunniang's hair and preparing for bed.
Then I heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Madam, Master, someone from next door has come to report the news." Dengzhi couldn't suppress his panic, and his voice was shaking.
Rong Che's heart was pounding.
At this age, I am most afraid of receiving news late at night.
Rong Che hurriedly put on his clothes and opened the door. The person who came in was the nanny who served the old lady. The nanny's eyes were red, and when she saw him, she fell to her knees.
He only felt his hands and feet were cold, and at that moment, the blood in his body almost froze.
"General, the old man is dying." The nanny said, bursting into tears.
Xu Shiyun had already changed her clothes. Rong Che's steps felt like they were treading on cotton. When he came to his senses, he was already kneeling in front of his father's bed.
The daughter who had married out had already received the news and returned home, and Zhou Shuyao was also waiting here with red eyes.
She is over twenty years old, but still unmarried, and is busy in the girls' school all day long.
Lu Yanshu and Lu Yuanxiao, together with Lu Chaochao and Shanshan, also came to the bedside.
The house was packed with people.
"I will use a golden needle to seal the old marquis's last breath..." The imperial physician nodded to everyone, implying that they should say goodbye.
The room was suddenly filled with suppressed crying, the sobs were so soft and dense that it was hard to breathe.
The old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo was already rational, but she still fainted from crying once when her husband, with whom she had depended on for many years, was on his deathbed. At this moment, the two maids were supporting him with red eyes, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
The Duke of Zhenguo raised his hand, and everyone pushed Chaochao and Shanshan in front of him.
These are the two younger generations that the old man cares about the most.
The old man had Lu Chaochao's spiritual spring, and although he was not tortured by any illness, he had been strong all his life. Lying in bed and unable to take care of himself was another kind of torture for him.
"Be good... support each other."
"Shanshan..." He held on to his breath and spoke with great difficulty.
"Stay true to your heart..."
"Don't...get lost."
"My son... my son from the Rong family can die in battle. He will never bring harm to the people!"
He held Shanshan tightly with one hand: "Shanshan, promise me!"
"Promise me!"
The old man gasped for air, "Shanshan...promise me!"
Shanshan felt like his bones were about to be crushed. His grandfather had always loved him, and he had never seen this side of his grandfather.
At the same time, I felt a swelling and pain in my heart, which was very uncomfortable.
Mortals are like ants, their short lives are fleeting.
At this moment, he hoped that his grandfather could live a long and long life.
There was a chill on the little face, and tears started rolling down her cheeks without her noticing.
"Okay, Shanshan got it." He responded with a crying voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's tight grip on his hand suddenly loosened.
Shanshan wanted to catch it, but failed. I just stared blankly as the kind old man closed his eyes and took his last breath.
His hands slid down weakly.
"The old man is gone!"
