“What was the reason why Brother Fan almost died in the Sun Country back then?”
“It wasn’t for taking the eight-foot Qiong Gou Yu, just to set up this guardian formation for you.”
“A man, who protected you in life and is protecting you in death.”
“If this doesn’t count as having you in your heart, then how can it?”
“Qiu Mu Orange, do you have to make my little brother Fan rip out his heart and give it to you before you are willing to do so?”
Chu Nan’s face was full of tears as she cried and scolded Qiu Mu Orange again.
She was aggrieved!
She was aggrieved for her own Little Brother Fan!
Her own little brother Fan, such a good person, he worked so hard for Qiu Mu Orange, for that little family of his, even doing many things in silence.
Qiu Mu Orange didn’t know, Ye Xi Mei didn’t know, all his relatives didn’t know.
All the suffering, all the hardships, that silly guy never gave a word about it.
He used all his strength to be good to others, giving them only the best results.
But what happened in the end?
After his fall, he ended up with a broken wife.
The wife he once guarded with his life still hated him? He did not even want to admit that he was Ye Fan’s wife.
Perhaps, in his marriage and in his family, Ye Fan was indeed somewhat incompetent.
But was she, Qiu Mu Orange, competent?
When her man was out there fighting for his life, what had she done for little brother Fan?
Did she help him kill his enemies, or did she help him solve his problems?
She couldn’t even silently support Xiao Fan’s career, and now she was even complaining that he only wanted revenge and didn’t care about his family or her.
Chen Nan felt that it was really not worth it.
Back then, if Ye Fan had married Xu Lei, it would have been much better than Qiu Mu Orange.
Xu Lei could also help Ye Fan hold Yanjing in check, and also help Ye Fan uproot the Chu Clan’s affiliated clans, and give the Chu Clan a heavy blow in the economic battlefield.
Even Chen Nan felt that she was better off as Ye Fan’s wife than Qiu Mu Orange.
She might not be able to help much either, but she could give her Little Brother Fan a twelve thousand percent understanding and support.
When Little Brother Fan was not at home, she could take care of everything at home, take care of Little Brother Fan’s mother, sort out Little Brother Fan’s clothes, and when Little Brother Fan’s friends and relatives were getting married, she would dedicate flower baskets for Little Brother Fan.
When Brother Xiaofan came home, she could also cook a table full of delicious food, would boil hot water and then soak his feet with Brother Xiaofan, and before going to bed, she could give Ye Fan a ma*sage to stretch his tired and injured muscles and bones.
In the battlefield ahead, she might not be able to help.
But she would take care of everything behind Ye Fan and keep it in order so that her man would not have any worries.
Even after Ye Fan’s fall, while mourning, Chen Nan will not hesitate to move from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, stabilising the situation as the Empress of Jiangdong and guarding this foundation for her man.
Waiting for the return of her man, the king!
But what about Qiu Mu Orange?
What has she done for Little Brother Fan?
She couldn’t even cook properly, and after Xiao Fan’s brother’s accident, she even became a deserter straight away, and now she was still complaining about her Xiao Fan’s brother?
This naturally made Chen Nan, feel unworthy!
At the end of her scolding, Chen Nan was also tired.
Without the strength to say more, she leaned against the corner, weeping there.
She missed Ye Fan.
She missed the man whose smile was as warm as the sun.
When he was here, Chen Nan didn’t feel anything.
Now that he was gone, Chen Nan realised what it meant to have the sky fallen.
Jiangdong’s sky had collapsed, Li Er’s sky had collapsed, and his father’s sky had also collapsed.
The once prosperous and glorious life was now nothing more than a chicken feather.
If only little brother Fan were still alive.
If only Little Brother Fan were still alive, the sun must be warm, the evening breeze gentle, Father and the others wouldn’t be so old, they wouldn’t have to kneel here and cry, and even the world would be much calmer, right?
The Chu Sect wouldn’t have started the war, the Yanxia Martial Way wouldn’t have had the power to destroy the country, and the whole country wouldn’t have gone on emergency alert…
It was all chaos.
Ever since Little Fan’s brother had died, her life, the world she was in, had all been in chaos.
Zee-ya!
As Chen Nan cried out in pain, the door to the room finally opened.
“Come in.”
Qiu Mu Orange’s pretty face was pale and her eyebrows were vaguely red and swollen.
She had likewise stayed awake all night.
Hiding behind the door, she gritted her teeth to stop herself from crying, but her tears still flowed uncontrollably all night.
When they saw that Qiu Mu Orange was finally willing to see them, Li Er and the three of them were so excited that they cried bitterly. The three of them were helped into the room, but Li Er and the others still did not sit down.
Instead, they knelt down to Qiu Mu Orange.
Not being able to bring Ye Fan back to Jiangdong in peace back then was the eternal guilt they felt in their hearts towards Qiu Mu Orange.
“I don’t blame you guys.”
“Second Master, Third Master, Mr. Chen, you all should get up.”
“I, Qiu Mu Orange, am nothing but a commoner in the city, with little ability, little insight, and little background… If it wasn’t for Ye Fan, I’m afraid that I, Qiu Mu Orange, wouldn’t even have the qualifications to talk to the Second Master.”
“You are all senior elders of Mu Orange, to come and see me, I am already flattered, how am I qualified, to be bowed to by you?”
Qiu Mu Orange hurriedly went to a*sist, and in time, knelt down to them herself.
Perhaps it was because she had figured it out, or perhaps it was because of Chen Nan’s words that had awakened Qiu Mu Orange.
Now she no longer resisted the past, nor did she refuse to talk about what had happened before.
She poured a few gla*ses of water and brought them over to Li Er and the few Jiangdong patriarchs.
“The past, it’s all in the past.”
“It’s been almost three years, and it’s time for you, Second Master, to start a new life.”
“Don’t be too obsessed with the past, I don’t blame you all, I believe Ye Fan he, too, won’t blame you.”
“On the contrary, it is you guys who are so depressed and decrepit, if Ye Fan knew in heaven, he would definitely blame you guys.”
“Especially Second Master, you have really aged too much. Mu Orange is almost unrecognisable.”
“Although Ye Fan is gone, Yunzhou still needs you, and Ziyang and the others, too.”
“You must take care of your health.”
Qiu Mu Orange’s voice trembled a little.
Especially at the sight of Li Er, an old friend, many past events could not help but bubble upwards.
When old friends reunite, why does it often make one’s lapels full of tears.
Just because, the sight of these old friends brings back many memories of the past.
Especially Li Er, an old man who had gone through too many storms with Ye Fan and his wife.
Every time she saw Li Er, Qiu Mu Orange would remember the happy life she had with Ye Fan when they were in Yunzhou.
“And Mr. Chen, you’ve aged a lot too.”
“Nan Nan is not married yet, so you have to take care of your health even more.”
“In the future, Nan is still counting on you to watch her children?” Qiu Mu Orange wiped the tear tracks from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile on her face.
Finally, Qiu Mu Orange looked at Lei Laosan again, “Third Master, over in Jingzhou, it is the place where Ye Fan grew up, and even more so, the former residence of Ye Fan’s mother. I’m a woman, and I’m too weak to guard Ye Fan’s old residence for him, so I can only rely on you.”
“Therefore, you must not fall down.”
“If you fall, I’m afraid there will be no one left to guard Ye Fan’s last piece of land for him.”
Qiu Mu Orange soothed the three of them one by one.
Hopefully, this would untie the three of them, allowing them to come out of their guilt and cheer up.
This was also the only thing that Qiu Mu Orange could do right now.
Some of these words from Qiu Mu Orange caused Li Er and the three of them to burst into old tears.
The years of torment had been somewhat comforted by Ye Fan’s wife’s comfort.
After a long time of catching up, Li Er trembled and said, “Madam Chu, come back to Jiangdong with us. Go back to Yunzhou, go back to the Yun Ding Mountain Villa.”
“You were Mr. Chu’s greatest concern during his lifetime, and now that he is gone, we have to protect you, for him.”
“Before Mr. Chu left back then, he instructed us that if he didn’t return once he was gone, if the world changed, we must let you take refuge at the top of Genting Mountain, Madam.”
“There, Mr. Chu built the world’s greatest formation for your Ladyship, which can protect your Ladyship Chu and keep you safe.”
“Yes, Madam Chu, come back with us. Now that the Chu Sect has mutinied, the Yanxia Martial Path has entered a state of war readiness, urgently conscripting all martial artists to return to the country to serve the king and guard Yanshan. The land of God’s Country will be caught in the flames of war at any moment. Jiangbei, is no longer safe. Only Yun Ding Mountain in Yun Zhou can shelter Lady Chu’s life safely.” Chen Ao was also advising each other.
