Xian Qing was just about to send Xie Wu out, but after taking two steps, the curtain moved and Xie Zheng's figure appeared in front of her.
Xianqing hurriedly bowed and stepped aside.
Mrs. Chen also stood up and came to greet him, "The Crown Prince is back."
"Yeah." Xie Zheng responded casually, then walked to sit next to Chen.
"Father." Xie Wu couldn't leave at this time, so she had to step forward and pray to Xie Zheng.
Xie Zheng smiled and nodded, looked at Xie Wu and said, "Are you leaving?"
"Yes." Xie Wu responded with her head bowed.
"I see it's getting late, why don't we stay and have lunch together!" Xie Zheng said. After saying that, he turned to Qian Qing and said, "You go to the garden and bring A Xu back.
What time has it been? You are still making nonsense."
Xianqing said "yes" and bowed out of the door.
The girl in front of him stood motionless, with that cold and indifferent expression on her snow-white face. This reminded Xie Zheng of the daughter of his old captain Zhao's family. She was about the same age as Xie Wu, but she was more temperamental than Xie Wu.
She has become more adventurous, and from time to time she would pull Lao Zhao's arm and act like a coquettish girl, unlike his daughter...
Xie Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although her mother and younger siblings would not treat her badly, to her, no matter how good her grandmother and aunt are, they are not the same as her biological parents...
Like Chen, Xie Zheng also wanted to make up for his daughter, but in front of him, he didn't know how to make up for it.
Xie Zheng took his eyes away from Xie Wu and inadvertently glanced at the box placed on the small table, "This is..."
"This is the list that Ah Wu drew up for me. Brother Zheng, take a look." When she mentioned this, a smile appeared in the corners of Chen's eyes and eyebrows. She hurriedly opened the box, took out all the lists and handed them to Xie Zheng.
.
Xie Zheng took the order suspiciously, initially a bit nonchalantly, but the moment his eyes touched the order, his eyes were as wide as Chen's just now.
However, compared to Chen's surprise and liking, Xie Zheng was more shocked and confused.
"Ah Wu, how do you know this?"
The list is so detailed. It’s not that people who have been in the distinguished circles of the capital for a long time cannot be listed. What’s more important is that Xie Wu is just a little girl who has never had a haircut and never leaves home!
How could she know the intricate connections behind this noble man in the capital?
Xie Wu's slender eyebrows twitched slightly.
How clear is her list? The things recorded in the Qianji Pavilion under that person's hands are so detailed that it is shocking. All the unknown secrets in the palaces of the powerful people in the capital will be recorded in the Qianji Pavilion.
The only pity is that back then she was only thinking about revenge on her second wife and Yang Xiao, and she only briefly browsed through the secrets of those nobles. Thinking about it now, it is really a pity.
"Ah Wu." Seeing that Xie Wu didn't reply, Xie Zheng couldn't help but shout again.
Xie Wu finally raised her eyes, "Father, do you think so? Of course, these are things I usually hear from my grandmother and second aunt."
Xie Zheng frowned, still a little unbelievable in his heart. But Xie Wu looked extremely calm, and there was no fluctuation on her face. He thought about her current age, and besides hearing from her mother and second younger siblings, there was indeed no
There are other ways to know this. At the moment, I had to swallow the doubts in my heart. "If father thinks there is something wrong with this list, he can just burn it." Xie Wu added with a calm expression.
"How could it be useless! Ah Wu, don't get me wrong, your father didn't mean that." Seeing Xie Wu's expression dim, Mrs. Chen hurriedly got up and walked over to hold her hand, and then turned to glare at Xie Wu.
Zheng said, "Brother Zheng, tell Ah Wu quickly!"
After receiving such a glare from Mrs. Chen, Xie Zheng also realized that his tone just now was indeed a bit harsh, so he raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed, "Ah Wu, Daddy didn't mean that, I just think you are too young now.
, You really shouldn't focus on these things..." At this point, Xie Zheng realized that there was something wrong with his words, so he added another sentence at the end, "What dad means is that you should
If your heart is focused on embroidery and playing the piano, if you don't like these things, then you can read some scripts, ride a horse, or shoot arrows. At your age, you should be more arrogant and carefree, don't stay at home all day
It’s stuffy inside.”
Xie Zheng had never spoken such a long word to anyone in one breath, not even Xie Xu.
But when he looked at Xie Wu in front of him, he felt an indescribable sadness and pain in his heart.
His daughter should be like the daughter of the old Zhao family, as proud and bright as a little sun, instead of being detained in this boudoir, silent and deserted at a young age, as if she had lived for decades.
Xie Wu naturally heard the distress in Xie Zheng's words, but although she felt it in her heart, she didn't show it on her face at all.
"Dad, are you going to take your sister to go horse riding and archery? I want to go too!" At this moment, Xie Xu ran in wearing deerskin boots and holding a bouquet of plum blossoms in his arms.
"Why are you running in such a hurry! Look, you're sweating." Mrs. Chen quickly stood up, pulled Xie Xu to sit in front of her, and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe away the sweat from his forehead.
"I was running in a hurry. Ju Qing obviously put on too many clothes for me this morning!" Xie Xu curled his lips, then as if he thought of something, his eyes lit up and he handed the plum blossoms in his hand to Mrs. Chen.
He smiled and said, "Mom, look at the plum blossoms I folded!"
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but smile, stretched out her green-white fingertips and tapped his forehead and said, "Why are you picking so many plum blossoms? You are not afraid of breaking off the plum trees in the Meiyuan Garden!"
"I didn't fold it for myself. I folded it specially for my mother and sister. If my mother doesn't like it, forget it."
She stuffed the plum blossoms into Xie Wu's arms, grinned and said, "Sister, these plum blossoms are for you!"
Looking at the plum blossoms in her arms, Xie Wu suddenly remembered her previous life for some reason.
Xie Xu also broke plum blossoms and gave them to her. At that time, she was unhappy because she moved back from Tinglan Courtyard. In addition, Yang's instigation felt that the reason why she was thrown into the Houfu for so many years was all because of Xie Xu.
, so, naturally, I didn’t have a good look towards him, so I took the plum blossom and smashed it hard on his face...
She remembered that he was so aggrieved that he shed tears, but he also carefully pulled her sleeves and timidly called her sister...
She hated him so much and blamed him for not liking him, but in the end, when she was given a gift to Yang Xiao by her second brother-in-law, it was this younger brother who she had never liked who ran desperately to save her, and was beaten alive by Yang Xiao in front of her eyes.
died……
"Sister, what's wrong with you? But these plum blossoms don't look good." Seeing that Xie Wu didn't speak, Xie Xu couldn't control his temper and said quickly.
Xie Wu's long eyelashes trembled, and she suppressed the tears that were about to well up in her eyes. She lowered her eyes, hugged the plum blossoms in her arms tightly, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "No,
I love so much."
Fortunately, God has mercy on her and allowed her to live again. This time she will definitely protect A Xu. As for those who have harmed her...
Xie Wu raised her slender eyebrows, and a trace of cruelty suddenly flashed across her clear eyes.
There will always be a time when we let them taste what life is like than death!
She is not in a hurry!
That night.
Xie Zheng was lying on the bed tossing and turning, always having trouble falling asleep.
During the day, Xie Wu's cold and silent look would always appear before his eyes from time to time.
He clearly remembered that when he came back a few years ago, although she didn't like to talk in front of him, she was really arrogant and lively. Why did she seem to be a different person when she came back this time?
And the list she drew up today, even if she heard it from her mother and two younger siblings, the little girl next to her would probably forget it after hearing it, but why did she remember it so clearly?
And those few words she said to wake him up yesterday!
That is clearly not what a carefree little girl can say!
"Brother Zheng, what's wrong with you? What time is it now? Why aren't you sleeping yet? Don't you have to go to the military camp tomorrow?" Chen, who was half asleep, was awakened by Xie Zheng's movements, rubbing his eyes,
Frowning.
"Ayao, do you think there's anything wrong with Awu?" Seeing Mrs. Chen wake up, Xie Zheng simply sat up from the bed.
Mrs. Chen was still a little confused, but when she saw Xie Zheng's serious expression, she couldn't help but get up from the bed. She frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Xie Zheng doubtfully and said, "What's wrong with Ah Wu? Isn't she very good?"
Of?"
He didn't turn away as soon as he saw her like before, and he didn't even want to say a word to her.
Looking at Mrs. Chen who looked confused, Xie Zheng frowned and sighed helplessly, "Forget it, you don't understand even if I tell you." After Xie Zheng finished speaking, he lay back down with a sigh of relief.
on the bed.
"You didn't tell me how I understand! It's obvious that Ah Wu is doing well now! She is willing to get close to us and is willing to take care of us! She even picked up food for A Xu at noon! How nice!" Mrs. Chen said unconvinced.
Xie Zheng's eyes moved, and he suddenly got up from the bed again, "Ayao, do you remember that every time you come back from the capital, you always say in my ears that Awu hates you and treats your younger siblings more closely than you do, do you remember?
?”
Mrs. Chen frowned and nodded, looking at Xie Zheng with a confused face and said, "Yes! So what's wrong?"
"She has always resented you and is close to her siblings. Why is she suddenly so attentive to you this time, and she specially drew up a list for you to see!" Xie Zheng said with his eyes widened.
"Then, what could be the reason? I am her mother. She was ignorant when she was young, but now she has grown up and become sensible. Naturally, she wants to get close to me, her mother." Mrs. Chen straightened her face with a puffed face.
The way.
Xie Zheng's pupils shrank suddenly.
Although A Yao couldn't quite hit the point, she was right about one thing.
After all, Ah Wu is not her biological brother and sister!
If nothing had happened, how could Ah Wu suddenly change her temper?
Also, yesterday she warned him not to go to Guangju Building for a banquet with his second brother. Could it be that she overheard something in the second room?
Xie Zheng was suddenly frightened by his own thoughts and broke into a cold sweat.
