Item family

"Third Master, it's late at night, you should rest for a while." Steward Zhou brought a bowl of plain noodles and walked lightly to the study.

The man who was still working at the desk paused for a moment, without raising his head, he said, "Leave it alone."

"You didn't eat much for dinner. It's already midnight, so you should eat something to fill your stomach."

"I'm not hungry." The man waved his hand.

"Third Master!" Steward Zhou couldn't help feeling distressed, and his voice couldn't help raising his voice, "How can you ruin your body like this? Even Young Master Xiang will feel distressed if he finds out."

"Distressed?" The man smiled wryly, and put down the pen in his hand, "If I can make him come back and look at me with distress, it will be worth it even if he starves to death, what a pity..." It's a pity that his baby will never come back again.

The man looked gloomy, picked up the wet towel on the side and wiped his hands, and after confirming that his hands were clean without a trace of dirt, he picked up a small white jade jar on the table and rubbed it carefully.

"Third Lord!" Steward Zhou's eyes filled with tears. After serving the Ye family for so many years, he treats men as his own children, but look at what the child he is proud of has become now ?The temples are gray, the cheekbones are high, and the whole person is emaciated.

Ye Junnian and Ye Sanye are well-known figures in the capital, not only because of his ability, but also because of his outstanding appearance and incomparable bearing.

This man shouldered the important task of guarding the Ye family. Even in the most difficult period of fighting with the Ning family, he had never frowned once. Now, his soul seems to have been taken away, leaving only one A lingering shell.

"Third Lord..."

"Why are you crying?" Seeing that the corners of the old housekeeper's eyes were red, Ye Junnian handed over a tissue and said softly, "I know what you want to say, but to me, comfort is the most ineffective language." I understand, and I know what everyone is worried about, but since his beloved child left, living has no meaning for him.

In order to protect the child's safety, he sent him away and ignored him for two years. Although in the end the Ye family won and cleared away the obstacles to Ye Kangnian's ascendance, his actions really broke the child's heart. .Ye Junnian's heart hurts every time he listens to the hidden guards next to the child report his situation. His family Dongdong has never suffered or been wronged outside, and he doesn't know how he survived the past two years. , Will you forgive yourself?

When sending him away, the Ye family and the Ning family were fighting fiercely. To be honest, he was really not sure of winning at the time. The reason why he ignored them for the past two years was also to draw a clear line and give Dongdong a chance to win. A chance to live.

But that was his most beloved child, how could he be willing to let Dongdong be wronged?But the situation was unclear at the time, and even if it hurt to death, I could only endure it.

Forbearance, forbearance, forbearance until he was sure that the Ye family had all the power, but he became timid.

Dongdong has suffered so much and suffered so much, what if he doesn't forgive himself?As powerful as the third master, on the eve of preparing to meet Xiang Yuan, he also became hesitant.

"Old Zhou, what do you think if Dongdong loses his temper?" Before leaving, the third master walked around the room with his hands behind his back.

Steward Zhou looked at the indecisive third master, and a chrysanthemum appeared on his old face, "Xiang Shao has a childish temper, and after suffering so much, he must have resentment, but the relationship between you and him for so many years, how coaxing, maybe You won't be angry if you have less children!"

"It's hard to say." He was very clear about the temper of his little ancestor, and this time he couldn't be coaxed back with just one or two nice words.

"Then..." Steward Zhou had no choice but to hear the third master say while hesitating, "Well, this time you go with me and bring Sister Liu with you by the way. If Dongdong loses his temper and refuses to come back, we will Stay longer."

Steward Zhou nodded, although he felt that he was very important in Yinfeng Lane, but right now, it is more important to coax Mrs. Sanye back first.

A group of people took a special plane and flew to country M. Although they knew Shao Xiang's movements in the past two years, they couldn't relax at the thought of facing that bad-tempered little ancestor. It wasn't them. I don't want Xiang Shao, I'm really afraid!

Because I care about it, I am afraid of losing it. What if I become less ruthless and make a fuss about divorcing the third master?

The whole group felt uneasy, the servants were afraid that the two masters would quarrel and it would be difficult to do their work, and the third master who was sitting in the master seat was thinking about how to coax his beloved child back, if the sweet talk was not good enough, then he would go up and let Dongdong beat him up How about it?

The plane landed slowly at the airport of Country M. Looking at the clear and fine weather outside the window, everyone's mood also improved. The third master brought so many people over, it was obvious that he was ready for a long-term war of resistance. With so many of them, can't they help the master coax his daughter-in-law back?

Everyone got into the car confidently, Steward Zhou and Chief Guard Ge followed the third master to find Young Master Xiang, and the rest of the servants went to the Ye family's villa on the outskirts of the city, ready to tidy up and let the masters live in.

Everyone thought they would stay in country m for a long time. After all, Young Master Xiang is not a good master to serve. It's hard to say whether the third master can coax him to change his mind!

"It's almost time to get off work. I don't know if Young Master Xiang will work overtime today." Butler Zhou said worriedly as he watched the passing scenery outside the window.

"No, I heard from Xiao Wang that Young Master Xiang has performed very well recently. He just got a bonus and wants to improve his life!" Ge Jian in the front seat said with a smile.

"Oh, Young Master Xiang has really grown up."

The third master sat in the back seat with a proud smile on his face.

The people in the car are very happy, no matter how angry Xiang Shao will be when he sees them, these people are full of joy to see their families soon.

"Call Xiao Wang and tell us we're almost there." The third master commanded in a gentle voice.

"Yes."

The phone rang twice and was picked up. Ge Jian said a few words in a low voice before hanging up.

"Xiao Wang said that Young Master Xiang just got off work and was about to pack up and go home. He couldn't get too close, so he could only follow from a distance."

The third master nodded, thinking that he was about to meet his beloved baby, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

When the car drove into the street, the outline of the building where Xiang Yuan worked could already be seen clearly.

"Turn right at the intersection ahead and you will reach your destination." Ge Jian looked at the electronic map and said with a smile.

"Amitabha, but it's coming." Butler Zhou burst into laughter.

Ye Sanye was also smiling, but his fingers were tightly clenched into fists. He was about to meet his beloved child. I don't know how he would react when he saw him?

Is it anger, resentment, or passing by indifferently?

Ye Sanye felt a little uneasy. He looked out the window, trying to calm down his emotions. If Dongdong pointed his nose and scolded him for a while, he should be mentally prepared.

Just when he kept making psychological hints to calm himself down, a piercing roar suddenly entered his ears, and the third master turned his head in confusion, only to see a ostentatious sports car popping out from the intersection ahead, The sports car went on a rampage, and before it even had time to slow down, it rammed into a pedestrian who had just appeared.

With a sound of bumping, the innocent passerby was knocked into the air by the car, and the slender figure spun a few times in the air before falling heavily to the ground.

The third master stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and the blood in his whole body was instantly cold.

"How do you drive?" Zhou Butler watched the sports car hit the fire hydrant before stopping. The fire hydrant couldn't bear such a violent impact, and with a bang, it spewed out water all over the sky like a volcanic eruption.

The water curtain covering the sky blocked everyone's sight, and no one saw the back of the unlucky passerby's head hit the ground heavily. In just a moment, blood like manjushahua spread under him.

His intuition told the third master that the figure hidden behind the water curtain was his child. He recovered from the shock and ran over madly, but the beloved child he had been talking about all the way had lost his vitality. .

"Dongdong, wake up, Dongdong!" The blood under Xiang Yuan's body kept flowing, and the third master didn't dare to touch him, so he could only hold his hand and scream in his ear.

Stuff?What a long-standing name... The eyelashes of the young man with his eyes tightly closed trembled, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open his eyelids again.

Maybe he once complained, maybe he once hated him, but he was too tired, in this life... so be it.

"Dongdong?" The face of the man who was still delighted by the young man's fluttering eyelashes darkened. With tears in his eyes, he cautiously extended his hand to the lower end of the young man's nostrils in disbelief.

no, nothing...

"Dongdong! Dongdong!" The always elegant and decent man could no longer restrain the grief in his heart, hugged his beloved child, and cried bitterly.

"Third Master, this is Young Master Xiang, this..." Steward Zhou was dumbfounded. Before departure, everyone was looking forward to reunion after a long absence. Why did they look like this when they met each other?Their little master, their Xiang Shao...

"What are you doing to eat!" Ge Jian picked up Xiao Wang who fell to the ground in embarrassment. This is the guard he personally picked for Young Master Xiang. How come at a critical moment, he can't even protect his master!

Xiao Wang didn't speak, just lowered his head and knelt on the ground in an ugly posture.

Ge Jian looked at him and didn't speak for a while, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xiao Wang's leg had been broken, and he had done his best in the guard work.

A happy event ended in tragedy. The night Xiang Shao went, Ye Sanye turned gray all night.

During those three days in Country M, Housekeeper Zhou would never want to think about it again in his life. His master, the third master whom he took care of like his own child, just guarded Xiang Shao's body for three days without eating or drinking.

If Master Guan Tao hadn't arrived in time, Steward Zhou would have even wondered if the third master was going to follow Young Master Xiang.

That night, I don't know what the uncle and nephew talked about, but the third master finally faced the reality.

He took Xiang Shao back to the country, found the best cremation master, and personally sent Xiang Shao on his last journey.

Then, there was an extra foot-high white jade jar in his bedroom, no matter morning or evening, he would hug that jar and talk.

The third master's complexion was getting worse and worse, and his behavior became more and more weird. Gradually, only the old people who followed the third master were left in the back house.

But he didn't care, he didn't even want to live in Yinfeng Lane anymore. After training heirs in charge of business, he left Yinfeng Lane with a few old servants and went to a small town in the suburbs of Beijing. Zhuangzi lived in seclusion.

"Old Zhou, you've said it for so long, will Dongdong still wait for me?" The third master sat on the wooden chair, covered with a thick blanket in sunny weather.

"Yes, Young Master Xiang misses you."

"Ahem, you will make me happy," the third master covered his mouth and coughed twice, and continued after his breath calmed down, "He, why is he angry? Don't let him go into the ground, cough cough..."

"Third Master, don't talk about it, just drink your saliva first."

Seeing the thinner body of the third master, Steward Zhou wiped away his tears secretly. This spring, the old illness of the third master relapsed. Originally, he was injured at the root. Later, during the battle between Ye Ning's family, he was assassinated again. He was shot in the abdomen and nearly died.

Xiang Shao is suffering in country m, but the third master is not suffering?

But this man is used to dedication and tolerance. He used too much affection and took all the responsibility on himself. He killed the perpetrator who killed Xiang Shao with his own hands, and because of his responsibility, he trained the Ye Family The next generation of business heirs.

But what about himself?Because of the family, he was ashamed of his lover, so after fulfilling his responsibilities to the family, he no longer wants to live, right?

"Old Zhou, after I go, remember to bury my ashes and Dongdong's ashes together."

"Master, what are you talking about?"

"It's the ashes put together, I'm in him, and he's in me, don't get me wrong."

"Third Master, I..."

"I just have this one wish, and you don't want to help me achieve it?"

The old housekeeper turned his back, wiped his tears and replied softly, "Hey."
