Xiao Ziyu rested for a while, and she was still thinking about Xiao Jing'er and Xiao Jingchen anyway, and she didn't know how far these two people were going to go.

But that's just a matter of waiting.

Xiao Ziyu didn't do anything this day, and there was nothing to deal with, so the day passed in a daze.

In the evening, Xiao Ziyu deliberately asked people to inquire to see if Xiao Jingchen had returned, but Xiao Jingchen really didn't come back, Xiao Ziyu knew that he had guessed well, Xiao Jingchen deliberately hid out, it seems that this incident is really a big blow to Xiao Jingchen.

Xiao Ziyu sighed, it was really messy enough.

After a while, Xiao Jingchen's people really sent Xiao Jingde over.

This is the second time Xiao Ziyu has seen Xiao Jingde, and it feels very different from the first time.

When Xiao Ziyu first met Xiao Jingde, he just regarded Xiao Jingde as a child, an eight-year-old child, but now he feels a completely different feeling when he looks at Xiao Jingde, he feels as if Xiao Jingde has grown up all of a sudden, and he feels that he is already an adult.

Xiao Ziyu looked at Xiao Jingde curiously, she never thought that someone would surprise her so much before and after.

"Jingde, come here. Xiao Ziyu beckoned to Xiao Jingde.

Xiao Jingde walked over slowly, looking very calm, giving Xiao Ziyu the feeling that he really didn't look like an eight-year-old child, but like a handsome young man, and the indifference between his eyebrows was very similar to Xiao Jingchen, Xiao Ziyu was absolutely right about this.

"Third sister. Xiao Jingde called respectfully.

Xiao Ziyu looked Xiao Jingde up and down, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes, if it was someone else, he might be shocked by Xiao Ziyu's eyes, but although Xiao Jingde's expression was very respectful, he didn't mean to be afraid.

Xiao Ziyu smiled and said, "What, aren't you afraid of me?" Xiao Ziyu asked.

Xiao Jingde raised his lips and smiled, and said, "Third sister, has anyone said that your eyes are very similar to your father's eyes." ”

Xiao Ziyu smiled slightly, "Probably, my father said it." ”

"We are sisters and brothers, why should I be afraid of you?" Xiao Jingde asked.

Xiao Ziyu suddenly felt that Xiao Jingde was really interesting, and he definitely didn't speak like a child.

"Jingde, you are very different from the first time I met you, did you deliberately pretend to be innocent and cute that day?" Xiao Ziyu asked.

Xiao Jingde thought for a while and replied, "Yes, that's right, I did it on purpose. ”

Xiao Ziyu was a little stunned, she was shocked by an eight-year-old child, she actually didn't expect a child to admit it so happily, and she admitted it so happily.

"Why?" Xiao Ziyu asked.

"There's no why, I just think a child should be like this, in fact, the third sister and the eldest brother appeared that day, and I guessed the result. If it weren't for Xiao Jingde's immature voice, I was afraid that Xiao Ziyu wouldn't have imagined that what he was in front of him was a child.

"Then why are you exposing this side to me now?" Xiao Ziyu continued to ask.

"Because I don't think my mother and sister can handle this well. Xiao Jingde said it as a matter of course.

"Do you think that if two adults can't handle things well, you can handle it as a child?" Xiao Ziyu asked with some curiosity.

But speaking of which, Xiao Ziyu was really curious about the child in front of him, this child seemed to be really surprised and surprised, and he didn't know what to say.

"Third sister, I know that I am much more mature than children of the same age, this is because, since I was six years old, I knew that my father would leave us sooner or later, and my father always told me to grow up faster so that I could protect my mother and sister, so I became like this. Xiao Jingde said word by word.

"How could my father say that?" Xiao Ziyu didn't quite believe Xiao Jingde's words.

Xiao Jingde smiled and said, " Third sister, I heard the nurse say, when my father and my mother were together, it was entirely because of responsibility, because my mother accidentally conceived my sister, these years, my mother has always been humble and careful to please my father, that is, I hope that one day I can enter the Xiao family, can give our sisters and brothers a fair and honest identity, but my mother has always been unable to see through, if my father is willing, as early as after my sister is born, I will take their mother and daughter in, but no, which proves that my father never had this plan at all. ”

Xiao Ziyu looked at Xiao Jingde, this was the second time Xiao Ziyu looked at Xiao Jingde like this today.

She never imagined that an eight-year-old child would see so thoroughly.

"In fact, speaking of which, my father is still a little cruel to our mother and son, since I decided to be responsible, it shouldn't be like this, I think my father is also a little remorseful, but his own children have always been unable to be ruthless. Xiao Jingde said.

"Jingde, you shouldn't talk about your father like that, you still don't know much about the affairs of the Xiao family, your identity, even if you enter the Xiao family, it may not be good, listen to my advice, leaving is also a good choice. Xiao Ziyu said directly.

"I know that the Xiao family is out of reach for our mother and son, we are originally dispensable people, in this family, and even in this generation, there is no shortage of concubines like us, no, we are not even as good as concubines, just illegitimate children who can't even enter the family tree. Xiao Jingde's tone was a little sad.

"Jingde, you shouldn't say that, some things are destined and can't be changed, but you can change your fate, you can choose to live better, leave the imperial capital, the sky is high and the birds can fly, your intelligence and talent, no matter where you go, it will not be buried, although the Xiao family has no place for you, but I can promise you that in the future, as long as I can help you, I am duty-bound. Xiao Ziyu said solemnly.

Xiao Ziyu has always done what she says, and when she says this, she will naturally do it in the future, not to confuse Xiao Jingde or anything now.

"Whether you believe it or not, I mean what I say, and I can do it, Jingde, you are my brother after all, I naturally hope for your well. Xiao Ziyu said.

"I know, I believe you, Third Sister, I believe everything you say, I came to you today to tell you that I plan to listen to you and leave the imperial capital. Xiao Jingde nodded and said.

Xiao Ziyu smiled and said, "This is a good boy, staying here will not do you any good brothers and sisters." ”

Xiao Jingde did not speak.

Xiao Ziyu continued, " I said, you don't know the Xiao family, you don't know what kind of place the Xiao family is, the Xiao family is not what you imagined, my second uncle also brought back a pair of illegitimate children, or dragon and phoenix twins, so far it has been almost three years, but what, they still can't go to the family tree, they have been living a life under the fence, they don't have the protection of their mother, their grandmother still loves them, although they are raised in the yard, but they don't pay much attention, the people of the Xiao family are all watching people put dishes on the plate, no one is sheltered, and they are not as good as the people who have a face。 Xiao Ziyu sighed and said.

"Is this true of all the great families?" Xiao Jingde asked.

"Almost, the situation of the Xiao family is better, my grandmother is more loving, my mother, the eldest wife is a benevolent person, if it is changed to another family, I am afraid that the fate of illegitimate children will be more miserable, men will be oppressed for life, as for women, they may be sacrificed by the family, and they will marry casually. ”

"I understand, third sister, in fact, I have heard some of them, but I always feel that it is not so scary, in fact, I am the same as my mother and sister, if I can, I also want to enter the door of the Xiao family, but I am much more awake than them, I know, this is just an unattainable dream. Xiao Jingde said with some sadness.

Xiao Ziyu can understand, it is true, after all, he has become the young master of the Xiao family, he is better than anything else, and he will be superior when he goes out.

"Jingde, you are a smart person, you naturally understand my words, I don't want my mother to be hurt a little. Xiao Ziyu said directly.

"Well, I understand that if my wife knew about the existence of our mother and son, she would definitely let us enter the door, no matter how hurt she was, she would persuade her father to let us in, right?" Xiao Jingde asked.

Regarding Mrs. Xiao's personality, although Xiao Jingde is a child, he has also heard of it.

Xiao Ziyu nodded, "That's right, my mother is a very kind person, she loves her father, she loves her father very much, so for the sake of her father, she can accept any grievance, anything." Xiao Ziyu said this, a little sad.

"Is that why my father refused to take us into the house?" Xiao Jingde asked.

"I didn't know at first, but now it should be this reason, so, Jingde, I promise to compensate you brothers and sisters well, and I will definitely do it, you and Zixiu are my younger brothers and sisters, and I will also choose a good family for Zixiu in the future, as for your future, as long as I can help you, I will definitely be obliged." Xiao Ziyu promised.

"Well, I understand, third sister, it was wrong at the beginning, it's better to end this mistake now, my mother's dream should also wake up, I will take good care of my mother and sister in the future, if there is something that needs the help of the third sister, I will also speak, just like you said, we are sisters and brothers. ”

Xiao Ziyu actually likes people like Xiao Jingde who know how to be flexible.

"Your sister's lord, can you do it? I can see how much your sister is against leaving, her eyes are full of the glory and wealth of this imperial capital. Xiao Ziyu asked.

"Yes, my sister is actually a very simple person, she is just unwilling, I think she is also a girl of the Xiao family, and she is also the daughter of her father, why is there such a big difference with you, she can't stand it in her heart, and she has no other thoughts. Xiao Jingde explained.

"I know, I can understand, but there are some things, that's it, there's no fairness at all, right?" Xiao Ziyu asked.

Xiao Jingde nodded, "Well, I know, third sister, talking to you is actually very simple, I think I can't communicate with my sister, I really can't communicate." ”

Xiao Ziyu said with a smile, "Are you saying that the two of us are smart, and your sister is stupid?" Xiao Ziyu asked.

"Although I don't want to admit it, but it's true, my sister's head really has some problems, some words, no matter what you say, how you explain it, but you can't explain it clearly, I can't understand it, and sometimes, I really want to pry her head open to see what kind of structure is here. Obviously, sometimes, Xiao Jingde is also very impatient with Xiao Zixiu.

"Probably my father can also see that you can become a big weapon than Xiao Zixiu, so he will have such strict requirements for you at the age of six, and he will say anything to you, but he has never said it to Xiao Zixiu, even if he knows, what he says is in vain, Xiao Zixiu can't hear it at all. Xiao Ziyu sighed.

"Third sister, I think you really talk too much in my heart. "Xiao Jingde is really resonant.

"Okay, you're slapped, now that we've all agreed, let's talk about your life after you go south. Xiao Ziyu said.

Xiao Ziyu has never been an inkblot person, and naturally he will not just talk on paper, he will put everything on the table.

"What does the third sister mean?" Xiao Jingde asked.

"I mean, I plan to let you live with your mother and your sister in Nanzhou, my father's sister, that is, our aunt is the wife of the prefect of Nanzhou, Wu Yan, the prefect of Nanzhou, is our uncle, and the third brother also has a lot of business dealings in Nanzhou. The third brother has bought you a house in Nanzhou, which is a three-in and three-out house, which is more spacious than what you live in now, and even the subordinates have been arranged, and you can take all the people in the suburbs of the city, I told my father, you can also take away the housekeeper, and all the gold and silver can be taken away. Xiao Ziyu said.

Xiao Jingde listened very carefully, in fact, Xiao Jingde also wanted to know about this, his brother still settled the account, since their mother and son were leaving, naturally they also had to have some conditions, and in terms of material, they must not be treated badly.

But Xiao Jingde hadn't figured out how to speak to Xiao Ziyu just now, but he didn't expect Xiao Ziyu to open his mouth by himself, which saved Xiao Jingde's trouble.

Xiao Ziyu continued, "My father took out 50,000 taels of silver from his private treasury, 30,000 taels are for your mother, and this silver is also your mother's guarantee in the future, although the rest is for you and Xiao Zixiu, but it will be handed over to your mother for safekeeping for the time being." ”

Xiao Jingde just wanted to speak, but Xiao Ziyu said, "You listen to me first." ”

Xiao Jingde nodded and continued to listen to Xiao Ziyu.

"I didn't prepare cash for you, but you and Xiao Zixiu are my younger siblings after all, the third brother's business in Nanzhou, I have some shares in it, I give you sisters and brothers, and your mother, one person and one percent of the shares, which is also the source of your future life, but you can't interfere with the operation of the voice, but there will be dividends every year, according to the current dividends, the dividends of one percent of the shares are 10,000 taels a year, which is enough for your mother and son to live very well, but this contract, I will not hand it over to your mother, I plan to hand it over to you." 。 Xiao Ziyu said directly.

After finishing speaking, she walked to the study angrily, then took out a box from the cabinet, and handed it to Xiao Jingde.

"Jingde, this is the transfer of equity, I have already written, and I have stamped the seal, when you arrive in Nanzhou, naturally someone will come to you to do the handover, and you will be given regular dividends every year in the future, which I and the third brother have already arranged. Xiao Ziyu said.

Xiao Jingde held the box, his eyes were very moved, everything else was fake, but the 30,000 taels of silver a year were genuine.

He was still somewhat suspicious of Xiao Ziyu at first, but now, he didn't have any doubts at all.

Xiao Ziyu really did what he said, and he didn't treat their mother and son badly.

They should be content.

"Third sister. Xiao Jingde's voice was a little choked.

"Jingde, don't be like this, the Xiao family has always been ashamed of you, but I let you go, not entirely for my mother, for you, for my mother, it is a good choice, you remember, no matter what, you will always be my brother, and I also like your brother very much, this is true. Xiao Ziyu said very seriously.

Xiao Jingde's eyes were a little red, because he could also feel that what Xiao Ziyu said was sincere.
