Chapter 33 Fourth Brother, Can You Don't Abandon Me?
"It's not like that, I didn't think so! I will convince my second brother to let you go home. I know I'm sorry for you. I know I've done too many wrong things in the past. Yunyi, give me a chance and let me use it for the rest of my life.
Can I make it up to you?"
"Brother will never let you marry that violent and disabled Prince Yu. Brother will work hard to get you to break off the engagement. From now on, we will choose a husband you like together. You will never have to pay anything for Lan Wanru again.
Got it!"
"I will no longer be a general. I will stay with you, help you embroider, and make you new clothes-"
Lan Yunyi's words were every word, and he was frightened and flustered. He was wrong, he was really wrong, he knew he was wrong...
"Lan Chongzhou, if a person dies, can you still live?" Lan Yunyi's mood gradually calmed down. She stared at the nothingness in front of her eyes, as if she could see other things through here.
Lan Chongzhou was startled, and his whole body froze on the spot.
"What if the heart dies? If a person's heart is ripped out, will she still have feelings?"
Lan Yunyi's voice was light and airy, as if she was telling a joke, a sad joke.
In her previous life, she was so kind, she did nothing wrong, and she burned her whole life to please everyone, but she died like that, in the endless darkness.
Who can come and say forgiveness for her?
Listening to her words, Lan Chongzhou felt that his heart was broken. The endless pain spread throughout his body. He let out several mournful screams from his chest and couldn't help but sob.
"So I have nothing more to say to you."
"To be honest, every time I see you, it affects my mood for the day."
After Lan Yunyi said this calmly, she wanted to turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, there was a "bang——" sound.
Lan Chongzhou knelt down in front of her, and his needle-pricked hands grasped Lan Yunyi's sleeve.
Trembling, almost exerting all his strength.
He buried his head deeply in his chest and exposed the most vulnerable part of his neck in front of Lan Yunyi.
This young man who was invincible on the battlefield was proud, arrogant and arrogant, but now he was kneeling in front of his sister in the most humble posture.
"Yun Yi——" The words he squeezed out from his lips tremblingly, almost exhausted all his strength.
"Please, can you...don't leave me..."
Fourth brother, I know I was wrong, don’t leave me...
Lan Yunyi looked at the person in front of her expressionlessly, thinking of these words for no reason. At the age of seven, she followed him and begged Lan Chongzhou, but she was still left behind by him, wasn't she?
She pried off her clenched fingers on her sleeves one by one.

Lan Yunyi left, and Lan Chongzhou knelt at the door of Qingyun Temple.
The scorching sun was scorching the bluestones on the streets of the capital, as if it was about to cook people. Dry sand and dust floated in the sultry air, and waves of heat rolled in, almost suffocating people.
But Lan Chongzhou was still kneeling, his legs that were close to the ground were almost cooked by the heat, but he was completely unconscious, as if his soul had been sucked out of his whole body.
As long as he knelt here, kneeling closest to Yunyi, he could recall the scene in the past, the way Yunyi followed him and happily took out the embroidered handkerchief.
"Fourth brother, I took two bowls of blood today without crying. Can you reward me with a candy?"
"No, the next time you eat sugar, your blood will be dirty. How do you want Wanru to drink it?"
"Fourth brother, I'm not afraid of pain now. Don't worry about your sister's condition. She will be fine after drinking my blood."
"Oh, I hope you really think so. But she has been drinking for so many years, and why has she never gotten better?"
"Fourth brother, I don't even know what sugar-coated haws on a stick tastes like. This is the money I earned from selling my embroidery work. I can only afford one sugar-coated haws. I'll give it to you to eat. I'll just look at it. I just smell it and it won't bleed."
Will it get dirty?"
"Don't sound like a poor little family when you speak!"
"Fourth brother, I was wrong. I will never say I want pink clothes again. Please, don't leave me. I will never be disobedient again..."
"Get out! Leave me alone!"
Her childlike voice sounded squeamish, and she was obviously only a few years old, but she had to pretend to be well-behaved and sensible, as if she was born unworthy of care.
It seems that he and Yunyi have never had happy memories.
The scorching sun was in the sky, and the steamer-like capital city fell into an eerie silence. However, Lan Chongzhou seemed to be fished out of water, dripping with sweat.
No one knew whether the drops of water on his face were sweat or tears.
"Ahhhh——"
A stream of blood spurted out from his thirsty throat. He recalled everything in the past, but he felt that Lan Yunyi's face when he was young had become so blurry.
Blood dyed half the street red along with dripping sweat, and Lan Chongzhou staggered and fell heavily.
Lan Yuanzhou walked out of Ningxiang Pavilion with blood on his face. He recalled what his fourth brother said when he left the house, and he walked to Qingyun Temple by accident.
What he saw was Lan Chongzhou's entire body soaked in blood, like a corpse.
Lan Yuanzhou was so shocked that he hurried to his side and found that his whole body was burning hot and he was still calling Lan Yunyi's name vaguely.
He gritted his teeth and picked up his body, only to feel panicked. The muscles that he had exercised had long since disappeared, and he was so skinny that it seemed like there was only a skeleton left in his body.
"Yunyi, Yunyi..."
"Fourth brother is wrong, forgive fourth brother..."
Lan Yuanzhou carried him back to the Lan Mansion, and his ears were filled with the sounds of Lan Chongzhou's apology, almost gibbering.
He was a little impatient and confused. He pursed his lips but did not say anything.
Although Lan Chongzhou has been neglecting food and food recently and is very skinny, he is still an adult man after all. The weight on his shoulders makes Lan Yuanzhou stagger, and the soles of his feet are being burned by the stone slabs. Every step he takes is like being on the tip of a knife.
walk.
He had never felt that the road to the capital was so long.
He suddenly wanted to know how Lan Yunyi used that thin body to carry him back home when he was so drunk every day.
Lan Yuanzhou realized that he was thinking about Lan Yunyi again, cursed inwardly in annoyance, and quickly told himself not to think about it again.
Lately I can't help but think of that dead girl, it's so annoying!
Not only do I hate it in reality, but I also hate it in memory!
————————————
As soon as Lan Yunyi turned around, she found three heads standing in rows in the crack of the door.
It's Huang Yuee, Taoist Ling Chen, and Pei Yan.
Pei Yan has also learned bad things from them recently.
When the three of them saw her, they coughed lightly, covered up the embarrassment on their faces, and surrounded her.
Taoist Ling Chen put his hands on his hips, squinted his eyes, and said angrily: "What did he mean by what he just said? What does it mean to sacrifice your marriage, and what does it mean to break off the engagement with the cruel King Yu? They forced you to marry King Yu?"
