At this time, Xie Wenwu had already arrived at the door and walked in directly.
"Brother." Xie Yao greeted, using the same explanation as before, "I happened to have nothing to do today, so I came directly."
When he entered, Xie Wenwu's eyes were obviously bright. When he heard Xie Yao's words, his mood dropped significantly. He still smiled and said, "Okay! You should come back more often if you are fine. Grandpa always talks about you, but after all, you
She is a queen, and it is not easy for my grandfather to enter the palace often."
Xie Yao felt sad because she had been negligent.
She didn't think about what others would think, she just thought that if her grandfather missed her or the little ones, she could enter the palace at any time. For this reason, she even gave her grandfather a waist badge, so that he could enter and leave the palace at any time.
My grandfather also said that he would visit the palace frequently, but in fact he only visited the palace a handful of times.
She doesn't care what others think, but her grandfather does.
"Civil and military!" General Xie's voice immediately dropped and his old eyes widened slightly.
Xie Wenwu immediately didn't dare to say anything and gave Xie Yao a look that said he didn't dare to say anything.
"Grandpa, don't be angry. My brother is reminding me that he did the right thing." Xie Yao smoothed things over, feeling vaguely that her grandfather's temper seemed worse than before. Maybe it was because he missed her but couldn't go to the palace often.
Bar.
"However, Grandpa, you don't have to care about other people's eyes. Your mouth is on them. If you want to say something to me, they will say the same thing even if you don't enter the palace. So, you can enter the palace when you should, and you don't have to think too much about anything."
General Xie's expression softened, "Yao'er is still good at talking. Looking at you again, you are still my brother!"
"Yes. That's what my grandfather taught me." Xie Wenwu answered quickly and fluently.
He had long been accustomed to his grandfather favoring Xie Yao, and he was very willing to do so.
The atmosphere also relaxed, and the three of them chatted freely and grilled chicken and fish together.
Not long after, the meal was prepared, and the roasted chicken and fish were also grilled.
The three of them came to the table, which was filled with dishes, which were extremely sumptuous.
"Brother, where is Xiao Xi?" Xie Yao saw that the meal was about to start, but Xiao Xi was nowhere to be seen.
"She was feeling unwell today, so she ate in the yard by herself." After Xie Wenwu finished speaking, he began to pour wine for his grandfather, "Grandpa, we haven't had a meal together for a long time. It's just the three of us, having a good meal today."
Xie Yao's heart moved and she understood immediately.
Xie Wenwu wanted to use this meal to have a showdown with his grandfather.
Resigning is inevitable, sooner or later, but you will definitely resign, so this matter must be said.
only……
She turned her eyes and looked at her grandfather, but she didn't see a smile on his face.
"Grandpa, I'd like to toast you this first glass of wine!" Xie Wenwu finished pouring the wine, picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
General Xie didn't say much and drank it all in one gulp.
Xie Yao's eyes moved, and she was secretly thinking about how to speak for a while.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
The grandfather and grandson didn't know how long they had been eating and drinking. They saw that not much of the dishes on the table had been eaten, but the wine jars were empty one after another.
Xie Yao knew that both his grandfather and Xie Wenwu had good drinkers, but they couldn't continue like this.
Since Xie Wenwu doesn't dare to speak, let her do it.
"Grandpa, actually..." She had just started to start, but she saw her grandfather raised his hand and pressed it down, interrupting her.
"Yao'er, the chicken you grilled today is very delicious, please eat more." General Xie said, placing a large chicken drumstick in front of Xie Yao.
This obviously prevented her from speaking.
Xie Yao understood, gave Xie Wenwu a look, and silently ate the chicken legs.
Xie Wenwu understood and said, "Grandpa, actually I..."
"You can have one too." Old General Xie stuffed Xie Wenwu with another chicken drumstick.
"Grandfather..." Xie Wenwu was confused, what did grandfather mean?
"Talk less and eat more vegetables. I don't know how many more meals you can last." General Xie's tone was suddenly full of loneliness. He sighed softly and took a few big mouthfuls of vegetables to himself, chewing hard.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent, with a depressing feeling that made people feel depressed.
After a while, Xie Wenwu had tears in his eyes, but he held it back and lowered his head, "So, you know everything."
Xie Yao was also silent in her heart.
Indeed, as Xie Wenwu said, my grandfather already knew, otherwise he would not have said that.
After she saw her grandfather, she had been thinking about how to talk to him. Unexpectedly, her grandfather had already understood everything and cooperated with them to force a smile.
No wonder her grandfather, who had always been thrifty, suddenly asked Uncle Li to prepare a large table of dishes and asked her to roast a lot of chicken and fish.
It was not that my grandfather wanted to eat, but that he was afraid that after Xie Wenwu left, he would never be able to eat the food at home again.
Thinking of this, her heart suddenly felt sour.
At this time, my grandfather was still thinking about them.
"Grandpa." Xie Yao stood up, walked over and hugged her grandfather.
She wanted to just hold her, this lovely old man who tried his best to understand and protect her.
"Are you bringing good news or bad news today?" An old voice sounded above the head. It was as steady as possible, but still revealed a hint of desolation and trembling.
"You know everything?" Xie Yao looked up, slightly surprised.
Xie Wenwu did want to resign, but only she and Xie Wenwu knew the specific situation, and she only told Chu Han.
"I don't know, but based on what I know about you, I can guess pretty much." General Xie's old eyes were full of wisdom at this time, and he looked at Xie Wenwu, "Although I don't know the reason, I also know
Xiaoxi is not suitable to stay in the capital."
"And I can clearly see your deep love for Xiao Xi, so I know you will definitely leave."
"But you are the son of the Xie family after all, and you will only leave after the troubled times have been completely settled. And now the only one who has not surrendered is the Dong Ao Kingdom. The envoys of the Dong Ao Kingdom made such a big fuss before, but you are still diligent
I was training my troops and preparing to send troops to attack, but I ended up staying in the mansion these days without going anywhere. Isn't it just waiting for a reply from Dong Ao Kingdom?"
"It's been a few days now, and there should be a reply from Dong'ao Country. I just don't know if it's good news or bad news."
After General Xie finished speaking in a calm voice, his eyes fell on Xie Yao, "I guess it should be good news."
Xie Yao didn't know what to say. She could only say that her grandfather's analysis was too thorough and was completely consistent with the facts.
"You guessed it right, it's good news, Dong Ao Kingdom has surrendered." Xie Yao said the good news, but there was no smile in her eyes, only heartache.
Grandfather put himself in their shoes, but...
"Okay, okay, okay." Old General Xie said three good words in a row, then stood up, turned around and walked back, "The wind has picked up, I'm a little tired, you should leave earlier."
