When the sky was about to darken, Qi Lian and the others also arrived on the mountain.As soon as the carriage stopped, before Huang Mo could tell what had happened, Meng Ruhu had already opened the door.

Seeing the spirit tablet in Qi Lian's arms and the two extra people in the car, Meng Ruhu was taken aback, and looked at Huang Mo questioningly.

"Madam's father passed away, they are Madam's mother and younger sister." Huang Mo replied in a low voice.

Meng Ruhu nodded knowingly, his expression became serious, he walked into the carriage and hugged Qi Lian to comfort him, "My daughter's day is going to change, my father-in-law is alive and I don't want to see you feel sorry for him."

"So this is the son-in-law. I heard that Lian'er said that his husband is tall, handsome, and imposing. Today, he is really extraordinary. We are married this time." Before Qi Lian could speak, the stepmother laughed loudly and praised Meng Ruhu. , eyes filled with admiration.

Seeing how flattering she is, An Xiaoxiao snorted disdainfully, "Lianlian hasn't spoken a word all this time."

Being recognized by his mother-in-law is a gratifying thing. Meng Ruhu was originally elated by the praise, but An Xiaoxiao suddenly poured cold water on him, which made him a little unhappy, "An Xiaoxiao, can you talk? If you can't talk, just tell me." go down."

"Go down, just go down, I don't feel comfortable seeing you bowing your eyebrows to her." An Xiaoxiao retorted unceremoniously, before leaving, she scorned Meng Ruhu.

"Who offended her, so angry?" Meng Ruhu was scolded for no reason, and asked the others suspiciously.

Seeing this, the stepmother quickly began to complain, "Which house is she from, she doesn't know the rules, she won't serve the master..."

"Miss, did An Xiaoxiao hurt you?" Before his stepmother could finish speaking, Meng Ruhu hurriedly hugged Qi Lian and asked concerned.

"I'm fine..." Qi Lian was exhausted, his eyes were red and swollen, and he leaned into Meng Ruhu's arms and asked in a low voice, "Can they live on the mountain for a while?"

As soon as these words came out, both stepmother and Qi Yu became nervous, and looked at Meng Ruhu pitifully.

"Of course, they can stay as long as they want." Meng Ruhu coaxed Qi Lian with a soft tone, but Qi Lian was not very happy after he finished speaking, and his face became more tired instead.

Meng Ruhu was also worried about Qi Lian's health, so he planned to go back to his room and told the outside, "Huang Mo, go and arrange a place for your wife's family, don't neglect."

"Thank you, brother-in-law." Qi Yu's expression relaxed, and he happily wanted to grab Meng Ruhu's arm, but when Meng Ruhu stared at him, he withdrew his hand in fear, holding his mouth in aggrieved manner.

"My lady, don't be sad, everything is for your husband." Meng Ruhu had no time to care about other people, kissed Qi Lian on the forehead, and strode out of the car with Qi Lian in his arms.

This scene made Qi Yu envious and jealous, but she never forgot Meng Ruhu's coldness when he rejected her.When the stepmother saw her, she smiled and patted Qi Yu's hand, and whispered, "Sooner or later, you will be the master of this mountain."

Qi Yu also smiled complacently when he heard the words, and looked at Meng Ruhu with confidence in his eyes.

Meng Ruhu hurried back to the room with Qi Lian in his arms. He had a lot of questions to ask, but seeing Qi Lian's sad appearance, he had no choice but to temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart, and continued to comfort him gently, "Mistress, don't hold back, just cry out when you feel sad. Good boy , to give the father-in-law's spirit seat to my husband."

Qi Lian sobbed softly, obediently handed over the spiritual seat to Meng Ruhu, two lines of tears fell from his expressionless eyes, "husband, my father is dead...but I failed to give him the end...I'm not filial..."

"My lady, don't say that. Life and death are unpredictable. As long as you are loyal and filial to him, that's enough." Meng Ruhu explained patiently.He found that the spiritual tablet was still warm, so he could imagine how tightly Qi Lian hugged him all the way.

"Should I just be loyal and filial when I am alive?" Qi Lian raised his head in confusion, with tears on his face, "But I couldn't serve him by his side before he died..."

Hearing this, Meng Ruhu couldn't help sighing inwardly, it was all the moral principles taught by Mrs. Fan, which made his wife feel so sad. In the future, it's better to learn less of these etiquettes that kill people, and teach his wife too much.

Complaining about Master Fan in his heart, Meng Ruhu still comforted Qi Lian thoughtfully on his face, "If you don't believe me, lady, you can ask Master Fan tomorrow."

"Thank you, husband." Qi Lian nodded, wiped away his tears, and his mood stabilized a lot.With Meng Ruhu by his side, he can always feel at ease.Thinking of something, he pulled Meng Ruhu's sleeve in prayer, "Husband, can you accompany me to find my stepmother? I want to know the cause of my father's death." If he asked alone, his stepmother would answer differently, because Meng Ruhu was there. , he can also have some courage.

"Stepmother? Isn't she your mother?" Meng Ruhu was so surprised that his several 'mother-in-law' calls were all in vain.

Qi Lian shook his head gently, and explained the family situation in a low voice, "My mother passed away when I was one year old, and then my father married my stepmother, and within two years my younger sister was born. Since I married my husband, I have never seen my father again. , I didn't expect it to be..."

At this point, Qi Lian choked up, unable to say the following words.Meng Ruhu naturally understood what he meant, and gently gave Qi Lian his back, "Miss, don't be sad anymore, I will take you to find them for my husband."

Meng Ruhu didn't bother to call the other party 'mother-in-law' anymore. He didn't greet Qi Yu in the carriage just now, but he clearly remembered that Qi Yu was the woman who fooled around with Chi Xu that day.

How could such a well-behaved and kind lady like him have such a shameless younger sister? If Qi Yu dared to mess around on the mountain, he would never let her go lightly.

"Thank you, husband." Qi Lian said gratefully, and washed his face to refresh himself.

The stepmother and Qi Yu were arranged by Huang Mo in the side courtyard. When Meng Ruhu and Qi Lian passed by, they saw Aunt Fang was there, and the three women sat together and watched happily.

"Hello auntie, hello stepmother." Qi Lian saluted the two of them, not daring to look at stepmother after speaking.

Only then did Meng Ruhu realize that Qi Lian was very afraid of that so-called stepmother, so he pulled Qi Lian to sit down too.He sat next to his stepmother, and Qi Lian sat next to Aunt Fang.

"Ruhu, this is Mei Hongxiu, your wife's stepmother. You should call Aunt Mei." Aunt Fang came over immediately after hearing the situation in An Xiaoxiao's novel. Suddenly there were two more women on the mountain, and neither of them was kind. There will be many troubles in the future.

"Aunt Mei." Meng Ruhu changed his words in a polite manner, and after greeting them coldly, he glanced at Qi Lian and asked the two, "I heard the lady said that my father-in-law passed away. When? How did he die?"

Meng Ruhu didn't speak submissively like Qi Lian, he directly ordered with an attitude, and what he wanted was a result.

Qi Lian's throat tightened immediately, and he quietly grabbed Meng Ruhu's hand, secretly watching his stepmother's expression.

Mei Hongxiu's face turned pale at first by Meng Ruhu's aura, and then she slapped the table and wept bitterly, "My poor husband, he was tricked into gambling by those who paid thousands of dollars. He lost all the family savings. He is still determined to go. Yu'er and I can't persuade him, we wash our faces every day, hoping that he can turn back. But who knows that he just went..."

"Mother, don't be sad, Dad will be sad..." Qi Yu also started crying, she didn't dare to cry too hard, for fear that the makeup on her face would be ugly.

Meng Ruhu was annoyed by the high and low crying, if it wasn't for the fact that they were Qi Lian's family, he wouldn't have the patience to sit here and ask slowly.Leave it to An Le, and he will get the answer he wants in one night.

"Don't just cry, tell me how my father-in-law died, and I will avenge you if you have a grudge." Meng Ruhu slapped the table hard, and before he could pick it up, the table shattered with a bang.

Mei Hongxiu and Qi Yu were stunned for a moment, fear rose in their hearts, and they forgot to cry for a while.Mei Hongxiu was still so experienced, she quickly reacted and answered sobbingly, "He lost all his money, became addicted to alcohol, didn't seek treatment for his illness, only knew how to drink, went out on a rainy night and never came back ...My miserable husband, you died so badly..."

"Father..." After hearing the reason, Qi Lian couldn't help crying again.

Meng Ruhu hurriedly hugged Qi Lian tightly, coaxing softly, "Miss, don't be sad, life and death are impermanent, father-in-law is also fate."

"I know, husband..." Qi Lian tried his best to suppress his crying, and leaned against Meng Ruhu's chest with his eyes closed.His father was not good to him when he was alive, although he never beat or scolded him, he never cared about him.Ever since knowing that he likes men, she has been looking at him like a monster as if she didn't have his son.
