Xie Wu's eyes were calm and deep, like a bottomless pool of water.
But even so, Xie Zheng still heard a little sadness in her tone, and a faint expectation...
"Ah Wu, I can make the decision for you now." Xie Zheng raised his hand and patted Xie Wu's head gently, his voice was gentler than ever before.
He can ignore what his mother said and put the overall situation first. The reputation of the Hou Mansion is more important than anything else! If he can't even protect his own daughter and allows others to bully his daughter, then what will happen to him in the military these years?
What is the purpose of working hard in China?
Perhaps she shed too many tears in her previous life, so for a long time, Xie Wu felt that she had lost the instinct to cry.
But now, because of Xie Zheng's words, her eyes suddenly became inexplicably sour. She reached out her hand in disbelief, but she really felt the warm tears on her face.
"Ah Wu, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Chen looked at Xie Wu in shock.
Xie Wu's sudden tears not only shocked Chen, but also left Xie Zheng at a loss as to what to do.
Suddenly, he suddenly stood up from the chair and said angrily to Xie Wu, "I will take you to find your mother!" After that, he reached out and took Xie Wu's hand and walked out.
"Father." Xie Wu hurriedly called him.
Xie Zheng turned around, his face still filled with anger.
However, Xie Wu smiled softly. She took her hand back from Xie Zheng's hand, then lowered her eyes and blessed him. Then she raised her eyes to look at him again and said with a clear smile, "With these words from my father, ah
Wu then has no more grievances."
But after Xie Zheng heard this, not only did he not breathe a sigh of relief, but he frowned even more tightly, and there was a faint hint of despair in his eyes, "Ah Wu, do you think that I am trying to coax you with my words?"
?”
Xie Wu's heart skipped a beat, and a slight warmth gradually spread in her chest.
"I know my father didn't try to coax me. You really feel sorry for me that I have been wronged. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come all the way back." Xie Wu looked at Xie Zheng with a smile.
His father had been absent from the capital for many years, and was suddenly recalled to the capital by the Holy Emperor. He filled such a coveted vacancy. There were many people who wanted to win over and scheme against him secretly. Even the generals and guards of Zuo Yiwei had many dissatisfied people who wanted to sit down.
To stabilize the position of Deputy General Zuo Yiwei and convince the people below, it is not possible to rely solely on the Holy Spirit's decree.
Xie Zheng understood this, so after debriefing, he moved directly into Zuoyiwei and lived and ate with the soldiers. He just wanted to integrate into them quickly, otherwise, he would not have been without coming back for so long.
"Then you...you are worried about your grandmother..."
"It is inevitable that grandma will protect the second aunt. No matter people or things, as long as it involves the reputation of the Hou family, grandma will be cautious and prudent. Therefore, it is not wrong for her to make such a decision." Xie Wu said with a smile.
Xie Zheng fell silent.
It's not that he hasn't thought about this, but as long as he thinks of Yang's dirty and vicious thoughts, even if Ah Wu is not harmed in the end, that is not the reason why she can escape the blame!
He is not willing to give in!
He felt aggrieved and cried out for his daughter!
"People from noble families have always valued the family's reputation more than their lives. My grandmother also did it for the good of the Marquis and her father." Seeing that Xie Zheng still looked unwilling, Xie Wu couldn't help but add.
At this moment, Xie Wu really didn't complain at all.
She has lived two lives, and this is the first time that she truly feels that someone cares about her, and even regards her grievances as more important than the reputation of the Marquis, and even goes to the extent of arguing in front of the old lady for her.
When she thought of this, Xie Wu felt infinite warmth in her heart.
"Besides, it's not like grandma didn't punish the second aunt. Didn't grandma give the power of middle-age to mother?" After thinking about it, Xie Wu added another sentence.
Xie Zheng's eyebrows finally relaxed a little, "Awu, I'm just worried about you..."
Xie Zheng did not say any more after that, because Xie Wu looked at him with eyes full of trust and smile.
His hanging heart suddenly dropped.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, he knew how thoughtful his daughter was, and he was afraid that she would go astray because of this matter...
"There's one thing I'm curious about. Second uncle, hasn't he ever gone to find his father?" Xie Wu looked at Xie Zheng and said suddenly.
This topic jumped so suddenly that Xie Zheng couldn't help but be startled.
However, although he wondered why Xie Wu asked like this, he still nodded and answered her question, "Your second uncle has been here, but at that time, because I have been in the military camp these days, there was no
Meet him."
However, it was precisely because of this that he heard from others about Master Jueyuan's approval of Ah Wu's life. By the way, he also learned that Taoist Ma had gone to the Hou Mansion to cheat and was exposed and was sent to Shuntian Mansion. These two incidents
It was such a coincidence, and coupled with the dirty tricks Yang had used against Ah Wu before, he intuitively felt that the matter must be related to Yang, so he hurriedly took leave and rushed back, but he did not expect that his mother was determined to protect Yang.
…
Xie Wu raised her eyebrows as expected.
After knowing this, Xie Feng's first reaction was to strike first. After all, what Xie Zheng heard from his mouth and what he heard from her mouth were two completely different answers. Therefore, the one who spoke first naturally had the upper hand.
Advantage, but he had calculated everything but failed to realize that he had missed it.
Seeing the smile on Xie Wu's lips, Xie Zheng suddenly understood what she was thinking.
"Ah Wu, why don't you send someone to find me?"
Even the second brother knew that he had to ask him for an explanation, but why didn't Ah Wu make any move? If he hadn't taken the initiative to mention it just now, she wouldn't have even said that - if my father was in the house that day, would he make the decision for me?
They won't even ask about the exit.
Has she been silently suffering all these years?
Was there ever a time when she wanted to find someone to talk to and make decisions for her, but when she looked around, no one stood up to protect her...
Therefore, she gradually developed such a temperament.
At this moment, Xie Zheng felt mixed emotions in his heart. He felt for once that he had really neglected his duty as a father!
If he had insisted on bringing Ah Wu back to Ningxia in front of his mother, maybe her mother would have agreed, and then she would be like the daughter of the old Zhao family, a lively and lovely little girl...
Seemingly sensing Xie Zheng's thoughts, Xie Wu smiled softly and said, "Father doesn't know now either."
Master Jue Yuan has not been out of the mountain gate for many years. This time he suddenly appeared in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, which was enough to cause a sensation in the capital. Moreover, this was also a matter of great glory to the Marquis Mansion. Not only did the old lady not come forward,
If this matter is suppressed, people may spread it privately, so that the reputation of the Marquis Wu'an Mansion will be even louder among the powerful.
Therefore, she knew even if she didn't tell Xie Zheng, not to mention that there was a wily Xie Feng in the Hou Mansion.
She had already told Xie Feng once in front of Xie Zheng. If she told him again this time, it would not have any effect. It might even make him wonder if she had tampered with it.
Therefore, the best way is for her to do nothing and let Xie Zheng see and discover by himself...
It is most true only when you see it with your own eyes and hear it with your own ears.
"Second uncle should have received the news that my father has returned home. Maybe he will be on his way back now..." Xie Wu looked at Xie Zheng with a smile and said another sentence.
However, this time, there was no surprise on Xie Zheng's face. Instead, his face became a little darker.
He really wanted to hear how his younger brother would explain Taoist Aunt Ma to him!
