The clouds are a bit thick.

Perhaps it was because of the continuous rain that the wind brought a bit of dampness and coolness.

Just like Xu Miao's hand on the back of Xu Jian's hand.

The palms of my hands are both cool and damp.

Xu Jian could even feel that Xu Miao's hands were trembling slightly and her whole body was tense.

She is nervous, and at the same time, she is stubborn.

For a moment, many fragments flashed through Xu Jian's mind - familiar faces, unfamiliar emotions.

He thought, he was afraid that Xu Miao would look like that again.

It is true that this time, he and Lin Yunyan made some preparations, and Xu Miao's mood has changed a lot from before, but who can be sure?

Xu Jian doesn’t want to gamble.

This time, it went so smoothly.

If you lose the bet, then...

Xu Jian wanted to take Xu Miao away, even with some brute force.

But before he tried harder, Xu Miao turned her head, raised her eyes and smiled at him.

"Jian," she said again, more firmly than before, "I can listen to the end."

The word "can" left Xu Jian speechless.

Obviously, he is the one who knows best.

Some things are destined to happen.

Just like what he told Lin Yunyan before, even if you change the way, what should happen will happen.

Probably, Xu Miao had to face Liu Jing's "betrayal".

As for the final result, Xu Jian thought that with the little princess here, there would always be a chance.

"Okay," Xu Jian responded, "Listen to what he has to say, and I will listen with you."

Xu Miao smiled again, then turned to look at Liu Jing and Liu Xun.

Liu Jing kept looking at them.

He experienced some weird things in the relationship between Xu Jian and Xu Miao.

Liu Jing knew clearly that Xu Jian was cold-tempered.

Even though Xu Jian often had fun in the court from time to time, he did not have a warm temper, and because of the disharmony, he always avoided the Liu family.

In the past, Xu Miao went back to Fu Guogong's mansion several times, but she didn't get much good looks from Xu Jian.

One tries hard to release goodwill, while the other turns a blind eye to goodwill and is indifferent.

If Xu Miao hadn't been named Xu, she would have been turned away when she went to Fu Guogong's mansion.

Can such a "mother-child" relationship be reversed in a short time?

Liu Jing didn’t believe it.

A while ago, he heard about Xu Jian's defense of Xu Miao and Liu Ping, but he only thought that he was not so cold-blooded and that he was just going against Xun'er.

But looking at it now, it doesn’t seem to be the case.

The contact between Xu Jian and Xu Miao was much deeper than Liu Jing imagined.

What did they talk about before?

It can’t be that a mother is kind and her son is filial, right?

Nine times out of ten, it is to win over, to provoke, to divide, so last night, Xu Miao would say something like that.

Oh.

We also have to count the princess of Ning'an.

The princess and Xu Jian seem to have the same heart. The princess must have gone to Guangde Temple to speak to Xu Jian.

These thoughts went over and over in Liu Jing's heart, and finally, they thickened into a cup of wine.

"Madam, you..." Liu Jing's voice was neither soft nor serious, just enough for the few people at the cell entrance to hear, "Madam, she is gentle, obedient, and considerate. These are all her advantages.

Madam only has her husband and children in her heart, which is enough to make you feel fulfilled, and you will not think about looking for other things.

Therefore, you don’t like to communicate with other officials and wives. When you go out, you only worship Buddha and offer incense, and you never ask casual questions.

Your life is extremely simple.

Therefore, as long as others want to hide it from you, you will be kept in the dark."

Xu Miao said nothing.

She did not interrupt Liu Jing and knew that what Liu Jing said was true.

If she hadn't been sociable and had little interest or curiosity in the rumors on the streets, how could she have been hiding all those stupid things that Xun'er had done before for so long?

While Liu Jing was talking, he was also observing Xu Miao.

Unfortunately, the light in the cell was dim, and Xu Miao and the others were standing at the entrance. The little light coming from behind them was not enough for him to see their expressions clearly.

"Madam is a very good wife, she takes care of the family in an orderly manner," Liu Jing continued, "Ah Ping is just like you, nothing goes wrong.

Xun'er is different. He didn't listen to you. He stayed in the academy for some time, and his ideas were full of loopholes. Of course, he didn't listen to me all. If he really listened to me, he wouldn't be now.

This is the point.

I am very satisfied with my wife and my marriage over the past twenty years.

Madam has a good background and a good temperament. She trusts me and helps me, so I don’t have any worries."

Liu Jing spoke very slowly.

Every word sounds like praise.

There is a layer of delicious honey floating on the surface of this wine.

"But why can't Madam's father, my Lord Taishan, be the same as Madam?" Liu Jing asked, "He has doubted me and rejected me from the beginning to the end.

He has no son, and his plan from the beginning to the end was to find a son-in-law. Why did he change his mind in the end?

Xinke Chuanlu, even if he is not as good as the three in the head armor, he will not be embarrassed, right?

Even though I refused to marry into my wife, he looked down on me.

He also wants to take away my eldest son!

Yes, he trained A Jian like this, a knife, a knife to deal with Xun'er and me.

I studied hard in the cold window, won the gold medal, and worked hard in the Qianbu corridor for twenty years, but in the end I had nothing, nothing!

It’s all thanks to him and A Jian!”

Liu Xun collapsed on the ground and stared at Liu Jing dumbfounded.

Of course he knew what his father was thinking, but he never thought that these words would fall into his mother's ears or be spoken by his father himself.

These things are obviously not allowed to be known to mother.

Even if he leaked something a moment ago and his mother overheard it, his father's quick wit and adaptability could completely handle it.

However, my father did not cope with it.

Instead, it tears apart those contradictions more directly.

Liu Xun turned to see his mother.

He thought that if Aunt Xia and Xu Jian hadn't supported her, her mother might have lost her balance.

Aunt Xia thinks so too.

She clearly felt that the lady had been trembling.

She herself was shaking.

How could the master say such a thing?

Before the accident, the couple was so harmonious and happy. Now, do they have to be so serious about each other?

If Duke Fu hadn't supported his wife, Nanny Xia thought, with the strength of her hands at the moment, she wouldn't have been able to support her.

Xu Miao still didn't speak.

The cell was sealed, and Liu Jing's voice lingered and echoed in it, each sentence deafening.

Since she wanted to listen, she listened with all her strength, letting every word sink into her ears and into her heart.

So much so that there is blood.

The master said that Ah Jian was the sword trained by his father, but here in Xu Miao, Liu Jing is the sword.

Silence spread among several people.
