“Second Master, don’t kneel down again.”
“If you kneel down again, your body, it will not be able to bear it…”
Outside the flat door, Li Er and the others had been kneeling all night.
By the early morning, Li Er’s body finally couldn’t take it anymore, and along with a violent cough, a mouthful of blood was vomited straight out.
If not for Shen Fei and the others holding them up in time, it was estimated that Li Er would have simply fainted on the ground.
“No!”
“As long as Madam Chu does not forgive me, I, Li Er, will not be able to stand up.”
“Even if I die on my knees here, I will never get up…”
“Back then, Mr. Chu suffered the pain of ten thousand swords through his heart to save us.”
“Now, I, Li Er, am just a little bit tired, just a little bit suffering, what is it compared to what Mr. Chu suffered back then?”
Li Er gritted his teeth and once again knelt straight.
This scene brought Chen Nan and Shen Fei close to tears.
Chen Nan was better, she was not very familiar with Li Er.
But Shen Fei, however, had grown up under the shade of Li Er.
He and his father had been under Li Er’s banner all their lives, and knew how greedy the old man in front of him was in the beginning.
However, such an old man, who was afraid of death, now preferred to die on his knees in order to seek the forgiveness of a woman.
But Shen Fei and the others all knew that in fact, Li Er was only doing so because of the guilt in his heart.
For all these years, that guilt and remorse had been tormenting these old men in front of them, right?
And now, if they were to die on their knees here, in front of that man’s wife, perhaps it would be a relief for them.
“Father, my daughter begs you, please don’t kneel anymore.”
“You’ve just finished surgery, your body won’t hold up…”
Li Er had just finished vomiting blood, and Chen Ao couldn’t hold on any longer, and directly fainted and fell to the ground again.
But after Chen Nan gave him a little hydration, he woke up again.
Without any rest, Chen Ao dragged his crippled body and knelt outside the door once again.
No matter how much Chen Nan cried, no matter how dark his eyes were bursting, he did not move like a mountain.
“Nan Nan, don’t mind me.”
“This is what your father, owes to Mr. Chu.”
“When I was humble, it was Mr. Chu who lifted me up and sent me like the top of Jiangdong.”
“When I was foolish, it was Mr. Chu who was magnanimous enough to keep me alive and let me rise again in Jiangbei.”
“It was Mr. Chu’s fall that was also to protect your father and his thousands of subjects.”
“And now that Mr. Chu has died, his widow is the last trace of Mr. Chu left in this world.”
“We, for our part, would like to die in gratitude for our sins!”
Chen Ao’s words were firm.
Behind him, although Lei Lao-san did not speak, he too was ready to die.
Both Chen Nan and Shen Fei were shocked.
In the past, in Shen Fei’s eyes, the so-called brotherhood was nothing more than drinking and jerking off together at a roadside stall, and nothing more than a group fight to help a fighter.
But until this moment, Li Er and the others had taught Shen Fei a shocking lesson.
This is what true brotherhood is all about!
Even though you have been deceased for many years, the love in your heart for your friends has never been broken.
Li Er threw away his Jiangdong career and travelled all over the north and south of the country in the course of three years, just to find any slight possibility of Ye Fan’s survival.
Chen Ao, discouraged, threw away his good fortune in Jiangbei and retired to die.
Lei Lao-san sulked day and night, drinking his way through life.
With Ye Fan’s death, all three of the great men who used to reign in Jiangdong were depressed.
Sometimes, Shen Fei couldn’t even imagine how much a person must have been in Li Er Chen Ao’s heart to make these big brothers, who had been ruling a domain with their hands in the sky, devastated after his death.
This is something that Shen Fei will probably never understand, right?
Because, the love between Li Er Chen Ao and others, and Ye Fan, that is countless times of trials and tribulations, countless times of life and death crises, the accumulation of a little out.
The road is known by the horsepower, and the day gathers people’s hearts.
Especially Li Er, who had followed Ye Fan since he was a son-in-law.
He had watched with his own eyes how such a man, step by step, had grown from an obscure, incompetent superfluous son-in-law whom everyone could step on, to a peerless patriarch and number one on the Heavenly List.
He roamed the east of the river and no one dared to mess with him.
He reigned over the Sun Kingdom and was worshipped by all.
He smashed the Chu Sect and terrorised the world.
Once upon a time, Li Er thought that he would join Ye Fan and continue to be so beautiful.
It was only later that Ye Fan met the greatest Waterloo of his life.
The battle in the East China Sea that year not only destroyed Qiu Mu Orange’s happiness for the rest of her life, but also shattered the backbone of Li Er and Chen Ao’s hearts.
If a person’s main backbone is gone, then he or she will be a walking corpse if they live.
Just like Li Er San, it was only two or three years, but every day was like a year.
Lei Lao-san could not sleep all night long, and when he closed his eyes he saw the man who had fallen under the bloody sunset.
The only way he could gain a brief moment of inner peace was through the paralysis of alcohol.
In three years, the three old men had not gained any redemption, but instead had let that guilt inside them, grow stronger and stronger.
Watching her father as they took their lives to kneel again, Chen Nan finally could no longer watch.
With tears streaming down her face, she cried and went to smash the door.
“Qiu Mu Orange, you coward, how long do you want to hide?”
“If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.”
“You are his woman, you should bear what you are supposed to bear.”
“If you couldn’t bear it, why didn’t you divorce my little brother Fan when he was around?”
“When he was alive, you enjoyed the glory and the scenery.”
“And now that he’s dead, you’ve become a deserter, you ignore the affairs of Jiangdong, and you still want to set aside your relationship when Li Erji and the others come to your door personally.”
“You enjoy prosperity but run away from suffering, don’t you think you’re selfish?”
“You are not worthy to be my brother Xiaofan’s wife!”
“Qiu Mu Orange, you’re not worthy!”
“You are a selfish, self-serving coward!”
……
Chen Nan scolded angrily outside.
Li Er Chen Ao and the others hurriedly reprimanded her, telling her not to be rude to Madam Chu.
But Chen Nan wouldn’t listen.
She just had to say it, just to say all the words that had accumulated in her heart all these years.
……
“Qiu Mu Orange, I know you hate my little brother Fan.”
“Hate my Little Fan brother for not caring about his family, hate my Little Fan brother for only knowing revenge but not caring about the consequences.”
“You must think that now that the Chu family is in ruins, in the past . The Mufan Group that you and Little Brother Fan built was destroyed, the foundation of Jiangdong fell to others, and you even lost your husband and became a widow at a young age, all because of my Little Brother Fan alone.”
“You blame him for being impulsive, for being impulsive, for not knowing what he was doing, for not caring about his family or the consequences.”
“But is it really only my brother Fan’s fault?”
“Do you really think that Little Fan’s brother killed the Chu Sect just for that obsession of his own? Just to avenge himself?”
“Do you know that the Chu Sect is now sweeping the world, sweeping through all the countries, with a large number of Patriarchs sealed in battle and dozens of countries having their martial dao wiped out?”
“If it wasn’t for Little Fan’s brother who fought against the Chu Clan with his own strength and slowed down their attacks, how could you have had these three years of peace and tranquility?”
“The tree wants to be quiet but the wind won’t stop.”
“Qiu Mu Orange, I can tell you that what Little Brother Fan did back then was not only for him, but also for you.”
“Not only for the whole country, but also for this little family of yours!”
“Otherwise, even if Little Fan’s brother didn’t go to the Chu Sect, the Chu Sect would have surely descended on Yanxia.”
“If the skin doesn’t survive, how will the fur survive?”
“When that time comes, do you think that if Little Fan’s brother doesn’t mess with the Chu Sect, the Chu Sect will let him go, let you guys go, let Jiangdong go?”
“Moreover, do you know. Before Little Brother Fan went up to the Chu Sect alone back then, he laid down a great formation in Jiangdong.”
“The strongest of these formations was at the Cloud Top Mountain Villa, at the Cloud Top Mountain Villa where you, Qiu Mu Orange, live.”
“Just to protect you safely even after his death!”
“You keep saying that Little Brother Fan has no home in his heart and no you in his heart.”
“But do you ever know that Little Brother Fan, the one who is most concerned about you, is still you!”
