Three hundred and seventieth eighth chapter love to the depths
Liu Junxiang said softly: "Huang'er, you silly boy, you are too kind. I don't know what kind of person your father is, but you don't need to take care of me. How can you say that your father and I have been together for twenty years?" We have been married for many years. As the saying goes, a husband and wife will be kind to each other for a hundred days. He will not do anything to me, but you. I don't want my daughter to be unhappy all her life because of me."
Xiaotang was silent. As Liu Junxiang said, the Night Lord had threatened Liu Junxiang's life more than once, and even put her under house arrest in the most heavily guarded room in the headquarters. It was called protection, but it was not for Xiaotang. Demonstration.
Can she really ignore Liu Junxiang? The answer is impossible.
With her strength, it is impossible for her to escape with Liu Junxiang. Besides, Liu Junxiang doesn't want to leave here, but in this case, she must consider her mother's wishes and continue to stay in Qiye and accept the orders of the Night Lord.
Liu Junxiang continued: "Hey, Huang'er, don't hate your father too much. In fact, he is not a cruel person. Do you think that I am a weak woman who is completely useless to him, but he is willing to marry me, and You have protected me as a burden for so many years and never let me suffer any harm..."
Xiaotang couldn't help but said: "That's because only a woman like Mom will not become a stumbling block to his ambition."
Liu Junxiang shook his head and said: "Good boy, don't be so prejudiced against your father. If he had married the princess of the Ice and Snow Empire, he would have fulfilled his wish long ago, so why go around in a big circle to establish Qiye, "
Xiaotang said: "Mom, you don't understand. He just doesn't want to rely on women. He wants to conquer the world by himself to prove his ability. If you ask me, he is a madman, a madman who is carried away by the desire for power. ,"
She was eloquent, but Liu Junxiang could not speak better than her. He could only sigh and look out the window, recalling the distant past.
Seeing the look in her eyes, Xiaotang knew that she was immersed in the past again, and couldn't help asking: "Mom, why did you fall in love with him? He is not worthy of you at all. Did he kidnap you with violence and then force you to You marry him,"
Liu Junxiang smiled bitterly and said: "Where are you thinking? I married your father willingly. Back then, I came from a scholarly family. It was not a famous family in the town, but it was somewhat famous. However, your father was born in a poor family. , my family is in a difficult situation, and I often rely on our family’s relief.”
"Then, his parents were lost in an accident, and he became an orphan. Our family took him as a servant as a matter of course. I also met him at that time. Later, he was found to have a very high talent. Countless people in the empire Schools and martial arts schools rushed to get him, so he just left. When he came back ten years later, he was already a very powerful person."
"You know, it's common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and a young talent like his is indispensable for women to pursue. I heard that there are princesses and princesses who favor him, but he chose Return to our small town, come to my house, come to my door to propose marriage, and want to marry me."
Liu Junxiang got out of control as soon as he said it, and Xiaotang heard these words more than once, and hurriedly said: "Wait, mother, I know he came to propose marriage after becoming famous, but what I asked is why you like him Ah, it’s up to him to propose marriage, but if you don’t like him, you have the right to refuse. Could it be that grandpa and grandma are powerful and forcing you,”
When asked by her daughter, Liu Junxiang also blushed a little and said: "When I was a child, I was quite cute, but when I grew up, I became mediocre in appearance. At that time, I asked him why such an extraordinary man would marry an ordinary woman like me. , he told me that he fell in love with me when he first saw me when he was a child. It was the bowl of porridge I gave him that pulled him back from starving to death. It was also the first time he fell in love with a woman. I have such a heart-pounding feeling that I have never felt that way about any other woman since then."
Xiaotang was greatly surprised and said: "What, my father would say such a thing? This kind of sweet talk doesn't sound like it comes from that kind of person. Mom, you were so moved that you were completely moved, and then you fell into the trap." His trap,"
Liu Junxiang said: "You kid, what are you talking about? He is your father. Although he is not good enough to you, you can't completely deny him."
Xiaotang was not convinced and murmured in a low voice: "Would any father sell his daughter under seven years old to be a maid in his country? If I hadn't met the young master, would I still be innocent now?"
Liu Junxiang was soft-hearted, hugged Xiaotang gently, and said: "My child, do you want to save your sweetheart? If you want, go ahead."
Xiaotang was startled and hurriedly struggled out of her arms and said: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about again? What will happen if others hear it?"
Liu Junxiang said kindly: "Why, you don't want to save your sweetheart, you want him to be locked up in prison."
"Of course not," Xiaotang blurted out without thinking. After finishing speaking, he covered his mouth in surprise and lowered his head silently.
Liu Junxiang gently stroked her back and said: "This is your choice, my child, don't let yourself regret it for the rest of your life. Let me ask you, in your mind, are you more Yehuang or Xiaotang?"
She shook her head blankly, took out the glazed begonia pendant from the storage ring, and placed it on the palm of her hand. The glazed begonia pendant was made from the petals of the begonia flower when she and Tian Lan first met ten years ago.
Ten years ago, during the season when the crabapple petals were flying, she was sent to Tianlingsha Mansion and saw Tianlan for the first time. The crabapple flowers of that year were the most beautiful ones she had ever seen, with a light pink color. The petals were floating all over the sky, and all that caught the eye were the warm colors. The stunning look under the crabapple tree and among the crabapple flowers was the most unforgettable scene in her life, and her name, Xiaotang, also became her most important name.
Undoubtedly, compared to other things in the world, Begonia flowers were her favorite. She secretly hid a piece of Begonia petals from back then and set them in colored glass to make a beautiful pendant, which is the Begonia pendant in her hand today.
She once gave this pendant to Tianlan once in the southern cabin of Qianfeng Winding Path, and then after they escaped from danger, Tianlan returned the pendant to her. This pendant stores too many of her memories. Seeing this The pendant reminded her of Tian Lan, and how kind Tian Lan was to her. Even if she had to exchange all the treasures in the world for her, she would not be willing to replace any second of her memory.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but shed tears again and said: "Xiaotang... I am the young master's Xiaotang... I will always be..."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Xiaotang quickly wiped away her tears, returned to a cold tone, and said loudly: "What's the matter?"
The person at the outer door said respectfully: "Miss Qi, the Night Master has something important to ask you. Please go to the study and see you."
Xiaotang replied: "Okay, I understand. I'll go right away. You need to step back first."
"Yes," the person outside the door responded, and then left respectfully. This is Madam's dormitory, and ordinary soldiers are not allowed to stay around at will, so Xiaotang dared to talk to Liu Junxiang here without any worries.
Xiaotang looked at Liu Junxiang reluctantly. Liu Junxiang just smiled and said: "Good daughter, go ahead. Your father must be looking for you for something, so don't delay."
Xiaotang nodded and said, "Well, I'll be back soon. Please wait for me for a while."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. Liu Junxiang thought about it and stopped her: "Wait a minute..."
"Well, mother, is there anything else?"
Liu Junxiang stood up, lovingly straightened her messy collar, neatly tied the hair hanging from her forehead behind her ears, and finally smoothed the wrinkles on her dress.
After carefully doing this, she smiled and said: "My child, you will always be Mom's favorite Huang'er. Please remember that Mom loves you too. I hope you can get your happiness and live a peaceful and joyful life."
Xiaotang obediently let Liu Junxiang tidy up her appearance. After listening to her words, she smiled and said: "Mom, are you praying again? Haha, having my mother accompany me is my greatest happiness. I don't have time, so I Go over there first,"
Liu Junxiang nodded kindly and said: "Well, go ahead."
Xiaotang didn't think much at all and strode away, carefully closing the door for her mother before leaving.
After she left, Liu Junxiang returned to the bed and took out a piece of white silk from under the pillow. Xiaotang never imagined that today's conversation would actually be a farewell to her mother...
Xiaotang came to the study room. The door was open, so she walked in.
In the room, a middle-aged man was sitting at his desk, working on copywriting, with a focused and serious look on his face. He had a square face and erect eyebrows. You could tell he was a strict person at first glance, but he still sat upright even when there was no one else around.
This man is Xiaotang's father, the real leader of Qiye. Except for Liu Junxiang, who has been under house arrest for a long time, his real name is unknown. People in Qiye call him Night Lord, and Xiaotang only knows it. His name is Night Lord, but no one knows why he gave up his original name.
Xiaotang looked at her father with complicated eyes. No matter how much resentment and dissatisfaction she had with this man in her heart, she had to admit that this man was indeed very capable and could single-handedly establish this underground organization covering the entire continent.
She respectfully saluted the Night Lord and said, "Dad,"
Night Lord put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and looked at Xiaotang, and said: "Well, here we go, sit down."
The study room is usually used as a place for important meetings, so there are many seats in the room. Xiaotang found a seat in the front row and sat down. His body was straight and he did not dare to slack off at all. It was completely different from when he faced Liu Junxiang.
Night Master never likes to beat around the bush, so he got straight to the point and said: "You have gone to see Tianling Shalan,"
Xiaotang's body shook slightly, but she was not too surprised, because everything here cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the night master. I am afraid that their conversation in the prison has also reached the ears of the night master.
