Seeing this, Xiao Tong asked the coachman to make way for them.

“Let’s go home,” Song Jinghao said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man limped out of the residence. “Miss Yuan, please wait a moment.”

Yuan Yuwan lifted the curtain of the car window. “Xiao Li?”

Xiao Li thought that he had not protected Xiao Qirui well. As soon as he returned, he went to collect a punishment, 20 strokes of the cane. After that, he ran out of the mourning hall and knelt for half a day. Later on, he fainted and was sent back to his room. When he woke up and found out that Yuan Yuwan had left, he hurriedly chased after her.

He walked to the carriage and handed the bag in his arms to Yuan Yuwan. “After my young master left the capital, he usually wrote you a letter every three days. Although he didn’t say anything, I think he definitely wants you to see it.”

Yuan Yuwan was stunned. She took the bag in a daze. It was clearly very light, but it felt heavy in her hand.

Xiao Li wiped his tears and took out another pouch. “When my young master left…” He choked for a moment. “He held this pouch tightly in his hand. You…”

At this point, he seemed to be unable to continue. When Yuan Yuwan took the pouch away, he bowed deeply. “Miss Yuan, take care.”

In the mourning hall, General Xiao stood in front of the coffin with his hands behind his back. His back was as straight as ever, but his back was filled with sadness.

“In the past, I always said that you were stupid and inflexible. Now, it seems that I was right.”

He had already learned what had happened on the battlefield from Xiao Li.

Because he knew that he would become a killing machine that would attack his companions at any moment, he decided to die. If he wasn’t a blockhead, what was he?

Even if it was a killing machine, it was still his son. He could lock him up and tie him up in chains. At least he would still be alive, right?

However…

General Xiao’s eyes turned red bit by bit, and hot liquid flowed out of his eyes. He walked forward and wiped the nonexistent dust off the coffin with his sleeve. He smiled and said, “Brat, good job. As expected of my son.”

He was a boorish person. Apart from being more tolerant when facing Xiao Ruoshui, he always felt that he should be strict with his son.

As soon as Xiao Qirui learned to walk, he made him raise the wooden sword and swing it under the hot sun for a few hours every day. At that time, he was not as tall as the wooden sword.

During Xiao Qirui’s first time learning how to ride a horse, he fell. After falling off the horse, he cried aggrievedly, and in return, he was reprimanded even more severely.

There were too many instances.

He had never hugged him even once.

When he was young, Xiao Qirui was actually very cute and mischievous like Xiao Ruoshui. It was because of him that he became more and more silent.

He had grown into what General Xiao wanted to see, but he still did not receive a single word of praise from him.

“You’ve done well, my son.”

A low and suppressed whimper came from the mourning hall.

Madam Xiao, who had reached the door, paused and waved her hand to dismiss the people behind her. She wanted to walk in, but in the end, she stopped and leaned against the wall, covering her mouth and crying.

In the room of the Duke’s residence, the dim yellow candlelight flickered. Yuan Yuwan looked at the bag and pouch on the table in front of her.

After a while, she reached out and picked up the pouch. The pouch was very light, almost weightless. It was covered in dark red blood.

“When my young master left, he was still holding this pouch tightly in his hand.. ‘

Yuan Yuwan’s breathing tightened, and her entire body seemed to be frozen. She reached out and opened the pouch, taking out a strand of hair tied into a concentric knot with red thread.

Her eyes trembled, and her grip on the pouch tightened. She could no longer suppress her tears.

The scene of the young man carefully taking the knot away on their wedding night was still vivid in her mind.

She felt that her heart was about to break. She covered her chest, which was about to suffocate, and cried and cursed, “Bastard, Xiao Qirui, you’re a bastard.”

There were some things that could not be thought about carefully. When she thought about it carefully, she realized that there were regrets between them.

The wedding night ended on bad terms. They looked at each other from afar in front of the wooden house, and the prey that appeared every day at the entrance of the courtyard.

He was simply a block of wood. How could anyone only know how to send bloody wild animals to a girl’s house?

He even stumbled over an apology. If she didn’t want to hear it, he stopped and wouldn’t say it. If he wasn’t a blockhead, what was he?

Large tears rolled down her face like a meandering stream. They gathered on her chin and then dripped down.

After a long time, she wiped her tears and picked up the bag beside her. There were two boxes inside..
