Mrs. Chen hadn't seen Xie Zheng for a while, but when she saw him and Xie Wu walking in, chatting and laughing, an indescribable sweetness suddenly filled her heart. She hurriedly went up to him and called him shyly.
A voice said, "Brother Zheng."
Xie Zheng smiled lightly and nodded to her. Then, he turned to talk to Xie Wu about what happened recently.
"A few days ago, your second uncle came to Zuoyiwei to look for me?"
"Second uncle?" Xie Wu's eyebrows moved.
"Yes." Xie Zheng nodded, "He told me about Sister Rou, saying that your aunt came to the house for help, and your grandmother asked him to go to Yang's house to inquire about news, but he hasn't found out anything yet. Yang
Something happened at home, and right after that, Sister Rou came back by herself out of nowhere."
After listening to Xie Zheng's words, Xie Wu smiled lightly and said, "Then how did dad get back to his second uncle?"
She also said that such a big thing happened to the Yang family, but there was no movement from her second uncle. It turned out that he had gone to her father to inquire about the news.
But, then again, wouldn't it be better for him to ask her about this matter? Could it be that he suspected that her father was taking the lead behind the Yang family's affairs? Or, did he suspect that his father had joined the camp of some prince?
However, if you think about it, how could she, a little girl who has never been outside the door, have the ability to find a maid with such a strong martial arts skill by her side? But if she didn't find it, then naturally it could only be the person next to her.
, and who else could this person be besides her father?
Moreover, such a big thing happened to the Chen family. Due to emotions and reasons, Xie Zheng should have gone back to the house to ask questions, but instead, he stayed in Jinyiwei all the time. Even when the Chen family sent someone to inform him, he did not come back.
If there was nothing fishy about it, Xie Feng would not believe it no matter what, so he directly went to Zuo Yiwei with a pot of wine.
Unfortunately……
Xie Zheng did not tell the truth after drinking as he wished.
"I, what can I say, I don't know anything." Xie Zheng smiled and looked at Xie Wu. He smiled, with a trace of bitterness suddenly appearing on the corner of his lips, "Awu, when did you know that?
.”
"What does daddy mean?"
"Your second uncle..."
Although he kept saying that he believed in his brother, in his heart he was still wary of his brother because of Ah Wu's words. Once a person becomes wary of another person, the other person's words and deeds will be affected.
It will be infinitely magnified in front of you, so those details that would have been ignored before are suddenly clearly visible now.
Seeing the sadness in Xie Zheng's eyes, Xie Wu frowned slightly. She pursed her lips and pondered for a while before saying softly, "Everyone has their own ambitions. There is no need for you to feel sad about it."
Xie Zheng looked at Xie Wu, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I just can't figure it out, we are brothers from the same mother!"
Even though they didn't grow up together, the same blood flows in their bones.
Their father repeatedly warned them not to get involved in party struggles, but the second brother...
It doesn't matter if he stirs it in on his own, he still wants to drag him and the Hou Mansion to stir it in, so he's not afraid...
But Xie Wu only smiled lightly after hearing Xie Zheng's words. She looked at Xie Zheng with a smile and said, "Dad, the King of Qi and the Crown Prince are also brothers."
Just like there is only one dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace, there is only one heir to the Hou Mansion.
Looking at Xie Wu's calm and somewhat excessive eyes, Xie Zheng smiled. Although there was still a knot in his heart, he felt a little relieved after all.
No wonder the old man often said that no matter how bad the wind and sand in Ningxia were, it would not be as big as the people in Beijing, so he would rather drink the wind and eat sand in Ningxia than go back to Beijing to see the ugly faces of those people.
He suddenly missed Ningxia a little.
"Brother Zheng, Ah Wu, you, what are you talking about?" Being ignored by her husband and daughter, Mrs. Chen finally couldn't help but speak.
"Nothing." Xie Zheng replied to Chen without thinking. After saying that, seeing that Chen was still looking at him, he frowned and said hurriedly, "I haven't had lunch yet..."
"Oh, then I'll go to the small kitchen to see if there's anything edible." After hearing Xie Zheng's words, Mrs. Chen immediately stood up.
"Go." Xie Zheng smiled gently at Mrs. Chen.
After receiving a gentle look from Xie Zheng, Ms. Chen immediately beamed and said with a smile, "Then, I will go to the small kitchen to make arrangements." After saying that, she glanced at Xie Zheng shyly, and then took Wuqing with her.
He quickly walked out of the house and headed towards the kitchen.
Xie Zheng breathed a sigh of relief after sending Chen away. He was about to speak when he found Xie Wu looking at him with a very different look.
Xie Zheng covered his mouth in embarrassment and coughed twice, and said, "Ah Wu, why are you looking at me like that?"
Sensing Xie Zheng's discomfort, Xie Wu looked away with a smile, "Nothing, I'm just curious, what did you like about your mother back then?"
"If I said that I was attracted by your mother's good looks, would you think that your father and I have no taste?" Looking at Xie Wu's clear eyes, Xie Zheng suddenly felt a bit joking.
Xie Wu smiled lightly, "How come? Food and sex are human nature."
Lu Zhan was not interested in her because of her appearance, but no matter how beautiful the color was, there would always be a day when it would be dull and boring. Good looks alone would not make it through a lifetime.
Xie Zheng laughed. After he finished laughing, his eyes narrowed as if he was lost in memories, "I still remember the day your mother first arrived in Ningxia. She was in a mess and her hair was full of sand, but she looked at me
But her eyes were surprisingly bright, as if I was the only one in her world...I thought at that time, this little girl is so brave, how dare she look at me so directly!"
"So, it was at that time that father was tempted?"
Xie Zheng smiled and said, "Of course not, I only fell in love with her after she freshened up! As a man, you only get interested when you see sex! I didn't expect at the time that she would fall in love with her.
"
Seeing the bright smile in Xie Zheng's eyes, Xie Wu curled her lips and did not ask any more questions.
Xie Zheng obviously also noticed the faint smile on the corner of Xie Wu's mouth. He smiled and reached out to caress Xie Wu's head, and then said to her softly, "Awu, you will meet such a person in the future.
, even if you have countless shortcomings, if you give him another chance, he will still choose you unswervingly!"
Of course he knew that Ayao's temperament could not support her status as the mistress of the Hou Mansion, but since he chose her back then, he also wanted to walk with her in the future.
After hearing Xie Zheng's words, Xie Wu's eyes moved, and a face suddenly appeared in her mind.
Seeing the twinkling in Xie Wu's eyes, Xie Zheng smiled, then he changed the topic and suddenly said to Xie Wu, "By the way, A Wu, just now at the door, Sister Yan said, you rescued Sister Rou?"
"That's right." Xie Wu looked at Xie Zheng and answered him calmly.
After hearing Xie Wu's answer, Xie Zheng frowned slightly. He pondered for a while, and then asked Xie Wu, "Then, those things that happened in the Yang family..."
"I just sent people to lure the people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to Wheat Straw Alley. As for what happened next, it has nothing to do with me." Xie Wu continued with a calm face.
Although he had expected it, when he actually heard this from Xie Wu's mouth, Xie Zheng couldn't help but his eyes widened in shock.
The affairs of the Yang family are actually related to Ah Wu!
"What else does Dad want to know?" Xie Wu seemed not to see the shock in Xie Zheng's eyes. She looked at him with a smile and continued.
Looking at Xie Wu's twinkling and cold eyes, Xie Zheng was suddenly speechless. He pondered for a long time, and finally picked the most important one and asked, "Awu, have you chosen King Qi?"
This is also the question Xie Feng wanted to ask him two days ago, and now, he also wants to ask his daughter.
Xie Wu smiled and shook her head.
"Then why did King Qi..." Looking at the clear smile on Xie Wu's lips, Xie Zheng suddenly couldn't speak anymore.
Could it be that Ah Wu even made a show with King Qi?
"Dad, I just said that what happens next has nothing to do with me. I don't have the ability to control King Qi yet." Xie Wu looked at Xie Zheng with a smile and said.
The person who really influenced King Qi was Lu Zhan.
"Then, what about the maid named Suiyu next to you? Is she reliable?" Xie Zheng seemed to have thought of something again.
When Xie Feng went to Zuo Yiwei to test him, he should have come back to ask Ah Wu these things. However, he was afraid that she would become suspicious, so he postponed it until today.
Xie Wu smiled and nodded again.
Xie Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Wu waited for a while, but when she saw that Xie Zheng had no intention of speaking again, she couldn't help but smile again, and said, "Dad, have you finished asking all your questions?"
Xie Zheng was stunned for a moment. Of course he still had questions in his mind, but when he looked into his daughter's clear and calm eyes, he suddenly couldn't ask anything.
"Dad, do you believe me?" Seeing that Xie Zheng didn't speak, Xie Wu asked him again with a smile.
Seeing the smile flashing in Xie Wu's eyes, Xie Zheng's eyebrows moved. Although he had already heard the meaning of Xie Wu's question, he still nodded to her solemnly.
"I believe you!"
Compared to him, Ah Wu obviously has a clearer view of the situation in the capital. In this case, why not let her choose a path for herself and the Wu'an Hou Mansion!
Thinking of this, Xie Zheng suddenly made up his mind. He stretched out his hand to hold Xie Wu's hand and said, "Awu, dad believes in you and believes that the path you have chosen for dad and the Wu'an Marquis Mansion is the best!
"
If the Marquis of Wu'an cannot stay out of the matter, then he is willing to believe in his daughter!
"Dad..." Seeing the unusually determined expression on Xie Zheng's face, Xie Wu suddenly felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
She originally thought that she would have to work hard to convince Xie Zheng to believe her, but she didn't expect...
She has lived two lives, and this is the first time that someone has given her full trust in her! If not for other reasons, just because of his trust in her, she will never let him down!
"By the way, one more thing. General Song gave me a piece of news yesterday. His Majesty plans to go hunting in Linxi Paddock at the end of the month, and he plans to bring all the relatives and nobles with him." Xie Zheng looked at Xie Zheng.
Wu spoke again solemnly.
After hearing Xie Zheng's words, Xie Wu tightened her handkerchief and her expression became serious.
