It was late at night. The backyard of the Yang Family was quiet and quiet.
Yang Lie had a military jacket draped over his shoulders. His footsteps were light as he walked towards his house while humming an unclear tune.
The guards and servants of the Yang Family, who were on night watch duty at different positions, did not show any surprise when they saw the Second Young Master in this state. It was not the first day or two.
Yang Lie walked to the door and a strange look flashed across his eyes. The lights in the room were turned on. It was obvious that someone was waiting for him inside.
Yang Lie pushed the door open. The person sitting inside was actually Guo Xuehua.
It was almost two o 'clock in the morning. Guo Xuehua seemed to be ready to go to bed. She had a thick jacket wrapped around her pajamas.
Seeing Yang Lie come in, Guo Xuehua revealed a gentle smile. She stood up and said, "You're back. I was just thinking that you should be back at this time. Tsk tsk, you reek of alcohol. Even if you're a cultivator, you shouldn't drink so much. If your dad sees you, he'll scold you again. "
Guo Xuehua nagged and turned around to take out a porcelain cup from the thermos box on the table.
She opened the lid and a fragrant aroma immediately wafted out.
"Lie 'er, don't just stand there. Come and have some chicken soup. Don't you like the soup I make for you the most? I put in some ginger slices to help you sober up and feel better. "
Watching Guo Xuehua happily prepare the soup as if she was talking to herself, Yang Lie still stood there with his brows slightly furrowed.
"Mom, what's the matter?" Yang Lie asked.
Guo Xuehua was stunned. "What do you mean what's the matter? I'm waiting for you to drink the soup, silly child."
Yang Lie still did not believe it. "Just … waiting for me to drink the soup?"
Guo Xuehua shook her head helplessly. "You're just annoyed by your dad's nagging, right? Sigh, I'm not like him, lecturing people all day long. Actually, your dad is doing this for your own good. Don't mind it too much. It's just that I haven't made soup for you in a long time. I made it tonight so that you can have a bowl before you go to bed. "
As she spoke, Guo Xuehua came up and pulled Yang Lie to his seat. "Don't think too much. It's almost two o 'clock. Go take a hot shower after drinking."
Yang Lie quietly looked at the bright chicken soup in the bowl. It was mixed with the fragrance of various Chinese herbs. The hot and moist water vapor rose on his face, making him feel unusually warm.
He looked up and saw that Guo Xuehua was waiting for him to drink. Yang Lie found that his hands were trembling slightly.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Lie picked up the spoon and began to drink.
"How is it? Does it taste good? Is it too light?" Guo Xuehua asked with a smile.
Yang Lie shook his head stiffly. "No, just in time."
Yang Lie didn't realize that his voice was a little hoarse.
"That's good. Sigh, I'm really sorry. It was too chaotic last year. Too many things happened at home. Your dad, your brother, and you were in a mess. I didn't get to spend more time with you after you came back from Kunlun Mountain. Lie, don't be angry at me!" Guo Xuehua murmured.
Yang Lie continued to drink the soup and nodded slightly.
Guo Xuehua reached out and patted Yang Lie's back. "Boys are always a little rebellious before they get married. I know you're not a bad person. You have to be more careful in the future. Don't go against your dad and grandpa. If you're obedient and filial, they definitely won't make you feel wronged. "
Yang Lie felt as if his heart was being squeezed by something. It was very painful. His eyes were sour and a little moist, but he had to endure it.
The woman beside him would never think that although he had the body of her son, he was not her son at all!
And he was the murderer who killed her son! Her blood enemy!
But she had poured her motherly love for her son into himself!
She was very silly and stupid, but Yang Lie couldn't laugh at all.
"Why are you in a daze? Drink it quickly. If it's not enough, there's more in the kitchen. Your dad and grandpa are asleep now. Don't worry about them suddenly coming to lecture you," Guo Xuehua said with a smile.
Yang Lie nodded and forced the corner of his mouth to move. He asked casually, "Mom, are my brother and sister-in-law back?"
When Yang Cheng was mentioned, Guo Xuehua said with a headache, "No, we called them in the afternoon but couldn't get in touch with them."
"They're not home yet? What happened? "Yang Lie's eyes flickered as he asked.
Guo Xuehua sighed softly, "Your brother, he went to the Li family's full moon banquet today, but in the end, he killed that kid from the Liang family in Guang Province! Right now, Commander Liang Shengchuan is already furious, saying that he wants our Yang Family and Li Family to hand over your brother. "
Yang Lie was quite surprised, "How could this happen? The Liang family is not to be trifled with, so what should we do now? "
"How would I know what's going on? Your dad and grandfather won't tell me in detail. They sent people to contact them, but they couldn't get in touch. But your brother isn't an ordinary person, so he'll definitely be fine. I'm not too worried.
Your brother often does things that make people's hearts jump, and he's too undisciplined. Just like today, he took your sister-in-law and her mother out for an entire day, and they still haven't come back. They're probably playing outside and spending the night outside, but I can't get in touch with them. What a headache. "Guo Xuehua sighed.
A hint of a sarcastic smile flashed across Yang Lie's lips, but it disappeared in a flash.
Guo Xuehua sighed a few times about Yang Cheng, then smiled and asked, "Lie 'er, your brother is already married, and he even has a child. Do you have a crush on any girl? Let me tell you."
Yang Lie was stunned, and immediately shook his head, "No."
"Oh right!" Guo Xuehua slapped her forehead, "Don't you like Lin Hui from the Lin family? Actually, she's quite good, and I'm familiar with her. But that girl seems to have gone back to Mount Emei to cultivate, and I don't know when she'll be back. Why don't I contact her grandmother?"
"Mom, there's really no need, that's all in the past," Yang Lie replied.
Guo Xuehua nodded regretfully, "Alright then, I don't have the intention to force you to get married. I'm already very satisfied that you're able to go home and return to the army. I know you must still be blaming me for not taking care of your feelings when I stayed in Zhonghai with your brother.
But, Lie 'er, your brother had a hard time when he was young, and it's really God's help that he's able to come back to me alive. Seeing how he pretends to be indifferent when he's covered in scars, how can I not spend more time with him?
You're all my flesh and blood, I only hope that you can live well in the future, and I don't mean to be biased. If your brother wants to hurt you, I won't sit back and do nothing, even if I have to risk my life. "
Although Guo Xuehua's tone was gentle, it was resolute and decisive.
Yang Lie felt that his mind was in a mess, and a kind of irritation made him feel extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't vent it, and he felt as if he was suffocating.
The woman in front of him had nothing to do with him, but she made his mind in a mess.
"Mom, I know, rest early," Yang Lie said with a forced smile.
Guo Xuehua replied with an "oh", "Yes, I've nagged too much, Lie 'er, take a shower and sleep early, I'll go back first."
After gently patting Yang Lie's shoulder, Guo Xuehua smiled and left the room, closing the door.
After hearing that Guo Xuehua had gone far away, Yang Lie put down the bowl and spoon in his hand and stood up silently.
Walking to the window of the room, Yang Lie looked at the hazy moonlight outside the window, his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.
Because he used too much force, his nails were embedded into the flesh of his hands.
However, the silver-gray antimatter energy kept repairing the flesh and even absorbed all the blood in an instant.
The corners of Yang Lie's eyes were glistening with tears, and a bitter and mocking smile appeared on his lips. He seemed to be laughing at himself.
"Mom … haha … my mom … died a long time ago …"
…
The bloody incident at the Li family's full moon banquet cast a shadow over many wealthy families in Beijing.
When the Liang Family sent a few representatives to Yan Jing overnight, the matter was pushed to the heart of the storm.
Early in the morning, the front hall of the Yang Family was already filled with representatives from the Liang family and several other families in Beijing who were on good terms with the Liang family.
Yang Gongming sat calmly on the host's seat, facing a group of men in military uniforms and suits who were filled with righteous indignation.
A general with a mustache said loudly, "Old Marshal Yang, this general is here on behalf of our Commander Liang to seek justice. Commander Liang is busy with military affairs and can't go north, but he has said that he will make the Yang Family hand over the murderer, Yang Cheng. Otherwise, the 400,000 Hua Xia soldiers under the Liang family will never compromise with this kind of violence in broad daylight!"
