Chapter 106 Breaking the gap between father and daughter
The pale golden sunshine quietly poured in from the diamond window, and Xie Wu stood silently in this halo. The warm sunshine in winter coated her whole body with a layer of golden light, which for no reason gave her
The eyebrows are a little softer.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that such a gentle and beautiful girl could make Madam Yongning faint with just one mouth.
Speaking of which, she was quite merciful to herself that day.
Thinking of this, the old lady suddenly laughed out loud.
With this smile, the air in the room that had been gradually condensing instantly began to flow.
"Thank you grandma for not blaming me." Xie Wu smiled and bowed her head to the old lady.
"How do you know I don't blame you?" The smile at the corner of the old lady's mouth faded, and her eyes turned cold, "Sister Wu, you are getting more and more courageous! How come Mrs. Yongning is also your elder, if
If today's incident spreads out, do you still want your reputation? Do you want the reputation of the Hou Mansion?"
"As long as grandma is here, today's events cannot be spread." Xie Wu looked at the old lady calmly and said with a smile.
After hearing Xie Wu's words, the old lady snorted coldly, and then she said in a cold voice, "You do think highly of me."
Xie Wu curled her lips, then she met the old lady's gaze with a faint smile, and said to her in a clear voice, "Mrs. Yongningbo couldn't afford to be embarrassed by a junior who fainted. What's more, the second aunt is still here."
Even if it is for her own daughter, Mrs. Yong Ningbo should know that she has to endure some anger."
Xie Wu's words were so straightforward that some of them actually touched the old lady's heart.
The old lady looked at the granddaughter in front of her with burning eyes. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was happy or melancholy.
"Not to mention...Mrs. Yong Ningbo still hopes that my mother can come forward on behalf of the second aunt and lead Sister Yuan to the Yang Mansion to express her gratitude to Mr. Yang." Xie Wu looked at the old lady and said with a smile.
"You actually know this?" The old lady looked at Xie Wu in surprise.
Xie Wu smiled and said, "Grandma, didn't you tell me that the second aunt despises this marriage?"
"Since you know this, why do you still suggest that I facilitate this marriage?" the old lady frowned and asked again.
Xie Wu chuckled lightly, and a sarcastic smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Grandma, if I didn't see through the second aunt's conspiracy on the Lantern Festival, what do you think would happen next?"
The old lady's pupils shrank, but she did not answer Xie Wu's question.
"In the eyes of the second aunt, giving my second sister to Yang Xiao's wife also wronged her. But if it were me, if I was lucky, the Yang family would send a small sedan to lift me from a side door to Yang Xiao.
As a concubine, you are unlucky. I am afraid that you will have to strangle yourself with a piece of white silk because of the reputation of the Marquis! You all think that I am ungrateful and should not be so cruel to my aunt who has raised me for more than ten years.
, but did she ever hesitate for a moment when she planned to frame me? She kept saying that I was the same as Sister Yuan in her eyes. Grandma, now tell me, are Sister Yuan and I the same in her heart?
!" Xie Wu's cool voice came towards the old lady with every word of questioning.
The old lady was stunned for a while. She opened her lips and wanted to say something, but suddenly she found that she had nothing to say...
On the surface, Xie Wu was blaming Yang, but she was actually talking about herself.
Over the years, Yang is not the only one who has neglected and neglected Xie Wu!
At this moment, the old lady suddenly felt more tired than ever before. She waved her hands towards Xie Wu with a tired look on her face and said, "I'm tired, you all can go down."
Xie Wu didn't say anything else. She blessed the old lady as she was told, then turned and walked out the door.
Xie Xian, who had been watching all this silently, also hurriedly saluted the old lady, and then quickly followed Xie Wu.
"Big sister." Xie Xian couldn't wait to shout to Xie Wu as soon as she came out of the house.
Xie Wu stopped.
Xie Xian walked up to Xie Wu with admiration on her face, looked at her with burning eyes and said, "Sister, you are so amazing."
Xie Wu curved her lips and smiled, saying, "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked my third sister yet."
After hearing what Xie Wu said, Xie Xian lowered her head and smiled sheepishly. She lowered her voice and said softly, "Sister, you're welcome. My sisters, what are you talking about? Besides, I happened to hear my mother say
I want to do something bad to my eldest sister..."
"What a coincidence?" Xie Wu raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, it just happened..." Xie Xian nodded vigorously, but there was still a hint of guilt clearly flashing in her eyes.
Xie Wu smiled faintly, and smiled at Xie Xian with curved eyebrows, "Whether it is a coincidence or not, I still want to thank the third sister for her kind reminder, otherwise, on the Lantern Festival, I will be ruined and the person who is despised will be me.
."
"How could it happen? Big sister is smart and alert. Even if you don't have a little sister to remind you, you can still handle it." Xie Xian also answered with her eyes bent.
Xie Wu smiled and did not comment on Xie Xian's words.
Seeing that Xie Wu didn't speak, Xie Xian was also afraid that if she spoke too much she would make a mistake, so she quickly smiled and said to Xie Wu, "Sister, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Xie Wu smiled and nodded, "Okay, third sister, remember to say hello to your aunt for me when you go back, and say, this time I accept her love."
Xie Wu's words successfully stunned Xie Xian, but before she could say anything else, Xie Wu had already led the maid and turned around and left.
Looking at Xie Wu's back, Xie Xian's right eyelid twitched twice unconsciously.
"Girl, does the eldest lady know something?" Sang Zhi on the side couldn't help but frowned and asked in a low voice.
After hearing what Sang Zhi said, Xie Xian's eyes changed, "Quick, let's go back to find my aunt." After that, without waiting for Sang Zhi's reply, she turned around and ran quickly towards the small courtyard where her aunt lived.
Xie Xian's aunt was originally Xie Feng's maid. Before Yang entered the house, she had been taking care of Xie Feng's food and daily life. Therefore, Yang was still quite wary of her. When they first got married,
Xie Feng was not even allowed to step into her room. Even though she was pregnant, she quickly asked a maid next to her to be her aunt, fearing that she would win over Xie Feng's heart.
But no matter what Yang did, there was still no movement from Aunt Mei's side. In addition, Xie Feng gradually stopped going in and out of her courtyard. Therefore, as time went by, Yang's heart felt a little resentful towards her.
Her fear and fear gradually dissipated. In fact, if someone hadn't mentioned it deliberately, she would have almost forgotten that there was such an aunt in the backyard of the second room.
But Aunt Mei, who was almost forgotten by everyone, quietly put her hand under Yang's eyes, but Yang knew nothing about it.
However, with the arrival of Mrs. Yongningbo, Mrs. Yang must have realized that there is something wrong with the people around her. Presumably, she will soon check the people in the second room, but I don’t know if she can think of this person this time.
Aunt Mei is here.
Xie Wu smiled and returned to her small courtyard. What was unexpected, Xie Zheng was also there.
"Father." She called Xie Zheng in surprise.
Xie Zheng put down the teacup in his hand, waved to Xie Wu with a smile, and said loudly, "Come here quickly, this is the tea that General Song just gave me, West Lake Longjing, you can try it." After saying that, he reached out and picked up the teapot.
Xie Wu poured a cup of tea.
Xie Wu smiled and walked to sit next to Xie Zheng. She took the tea cup as instructed and gently stirred the tea foam in the cup. However, she was not in a hurry to drink the tea. Instead, she looked at Xie Zheng with a smile and asked him,
"When did father come back?"
Xie Zheng smiled, but he did not answer her question directly. Instead, he smiled and said, "This tea is quite delicious. I don't know why I didn't notice the taste of it when I was in Ningxia before."
"Dad, do you miss your grandfather?" Xie Wu looked at Xie Zheng and said softly.
Xie Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Wu in surprise, and then he laughed, with a hint of shame on his face. Then, he half-closed his eyes and recalled, "When I was in Ningxia, I always found your grandfather annoying.
It kept nagging in my ears, and the voice was like thunder. When I got angry, it was even worse. I would roll up my sleeves and beat people to death. After beating them, I still thought they didn't fight back, saying that they didn't hit me.
He doesn’t even think about the sense of accomplishment, if he wants to beat someone up, who dares to fight back!”
After listening to Xie Zheng's words, Xie Wu's usually cold eyes suddenly softened, and there was a light and gentle smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
The memory of my grandfather became more vivid because of his words.
Seeing Xie Wu's expression, Xie Zheng felt a little sour in his heart, "Awu, do you know? When you were born, your grandfather was very happy. There was wine in the military camp for three days, and he drank every time.
He was very drunk until he was finally carried back."
Until the night before he returned to Beijing, his father was still sighing, saying that he had not seen his eldest granddaughter and did not know whether he would be lucky enough to see her in this life.
"Then, if there is a chance, father will take me back to Ningxia! I really want to see my grandfather." Xie Wu looked at Xie Zheng with a smile, and her eyes gradually filled with mist.
"Okay! If we have a chance, let's go back to Ningxia together!" Xie Zheng wiped away the dejection just now. He looked at Xie Wu with burning eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved in a bright arc.
"Yeah." Xie Wu looked at Xie Zheng with a smile, and then she nodded solemnly towards him.
At this moment, the estrangement between father and daughter for more than ten years finally dissipated.
"Ah Wu, you have grown up." Xie Zheng looked at Xie Wu and suddenly sighed sincerely.
When he stood outside the gate of Ronghuayuan, listening to her words that were as sharp as a knife, no matter how Mrs. Yongning attacked, she could retort without any blood. At that moment, he couldn't tell whether he was more happy? Or guilty?
?Or maybe it’s more sad...
It turned out that without his noticing, his daughter had grown up to the point where she no longer needed his protection.
She can also carve a path on her own!
She doesn't need him anymore.
Seeing Xie Zheng's sudden sadness, Xie Wu frowned slightly. She hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke softly, "Father, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay!" Xie Zheng smiled and shook his head. Then, he reached out and patted Xie Wu's shoulder, looked at her with a smile and said word by word, "Wu, father will always be on your side!"
Xie Wu's eyebrows moved.
When she was about to say something, Xie Zheng suddenly took his hand back, and then he stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late, Zuo Yiwei has something else to do, so I'll leave first.
"
Xie Wu also quickly stood up.
"No need to give it away! The tea I just poured for you should be cold. You can try it." Xie Zheng stretched out his hand to stop Xie Wu. He smiled at Xie Wu again, then turned and walked out of the door.
It wasn't until Xie Zheng's back disappeared from the door that Xie Wu slowly turned around. She reached out to pick up the cold tea, lowered her head and took a sip.
The tea is sweet, and it goes down your throat and reaches your heart.
"Broken jade." Xie Wu suddenly called out.
There was a movement outside the door soon, and after a while, Suiyu appeared in front of Xie Wu.
"Has my father been to Ronghuayuan?" Xie Wu lowered her eyes and looked at the white porcelain tea cup in her hand and said softly.
"Yes. The Crown Prince didn't let anyone inform him. He stood outside for a long time and then left." Suiyu replied.
I see……
Xie Wu suddenly chuckled, and her eyes turned red as she smiled.
