"How did you see that you were a kid and running out in the middle of the night to do something?"

Hearing Cheng Xuan say such a thing suddenly, he saw that Cheng Yan's breath, which was still calm, suddenly stagnated, as if the secret that had been hidden in his heart for a long time was discovered, and he narrowed his eyes vigilantly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing that Cheng Yan's reaction was a little strong, Cheng Xuan subconsciously leaned back, supporting the hard stone steps with one hand.

After making sure that Cheng Yan didn't have any other actions that he wanted to teach himself, he straightened his body and recalled with a serious face.

"I can't remember this clearly, it seems that I want to see the golden branch of a person kneeling in the mourning hall to guard the spirit, right? But at that time, because the distance was a little far, I only glanced at it, and I thought that I was wrong, so no one said anything. ”

"It's best if you don't talk about it, and you are not allowed to mention it to anyone in the future, especially your mother, did you hear it. ”

"Dad, so you were really sad at that time?"

Cheng Xuan tilted his head and looked at Cheng Yan with a wicked smile, and then thought of his previous attitude towards the Qin family, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt contradictory.

After all, if he hadn't seen this scene by chance at that time, I am afraid that now, like everyone in the Cheng family, he thinks that Cheng Yan is indifferent to the death of the Qin family, and he has not even felt a little sad.

"Since you are sad about her death, why did you ...... to the third aunt when she was alive?"

Cheng Xuan said this abruptly, and suddenly realized in his heart that behind Cheng Yan's seemingly deliberate indifference to the Qin family, there may have been a deep and unknown past.

And this past incident is likely to become an indelible knot in Cheng Yan's heart.

Even today, even if the Qin clan has long since died, he has not been able to completely unravel it.

"What do you children know about adults?"

Cheng Yan brushed it off a little perfunctorily, and an extremely complicated emotion rolled up in his eyes, obviously not wanting to open this page that had been sealed for a long time and expose it to others.

"If you don't say it, how do you know I don't understand?"

Cheng Xuan muttered a sentence in his mouth a little reluctantly, thinking of Cheng Jinzhi, who was still seriously injured and tortured, and his heart was moved, and he couldn't help frowning with some resentment.

"But what about Jin Zhi, no matter what she says, she is also your daughter, even if something unpleasant happened to you and the third aunt, it can't be angry with a child. ”

Seeing that Cheng Yan was obviously touched when he heard this, but he was still silent, and there was no anger on his face, he had the courage to continue bluntly.

"For so many years, although I haven't spent much time in the house, I can't bear to see my mother and sisters bullying her so much and calling her as a person. How can you say that you are also her biological father, how can you be so ruthless and leave her to fend for herself, regardless of it?"

As soon as Cheng Xuan's words fell, he didn't have time to see Cheng Yan's reaction, so he immediately blocked his hands in front of him and moved back for a distance, for fear that he would be scolded by his father.

After all, in his cognition, these words will definitely be regarded by Cheng Yan as disobedient words against his father, even if he will not be treated as a flying palm, he will definitely be scolded loudly by him angrily.

However, after a stalemate for a long time, except for the rustle of the night wind sweeping the leaves, Cheng Yan still did not take any action.

Cheng Xuan twisted the corners of his eyebrows with a strange expression, and after making sure that there was no movement, he finally slowly put his hands back on his knees.

To his surprise, Cheng Yan still sat calmly in place, as if he had fallen into a deep thought.

couldn't help but make Cheng Xuan deeply feel that the person sitting in front of him at this moment must be a fake father.

But at that moment, looking at Cheng Yan's thin figure sitting alone in the night breeze, Cheng Xuan suddenly felt that even if he still supported the glorious lintel of the Cheng family with his own body, the glory and status of this Yasukuni Mansion were always immovable.

But compared to back then, he is much older.

was secretly sighing, only to see Cheng Yan close his eyes slightly, and a low and slightly self-reproachful sentence overflowed from his mouth.

"My biological father... Maybe after all these years, I was wrong. ”

"Dad, what do you mean... Golden Branches She... She... How is that possible?"

Although Cheng Yan's words were only a few words, they really caused a lot of ripples in Cheng Xuan's heart.

I saw him staring at him in shock, very eagerly waiting for Cheng Yan's answer.

"I've always thought so. ”

Cheng Yan opened his eyes slightly, then lowered his eyes and took a deep breath, and the whole person suddenly looked very tired.

"Until that day, when I entered the palace, I met King Heng who came with Nanchu, and he told me with emotion, it turned out that Jin Zhi was the daughter of our Cheng family, no wonder she and my eyebrows were a little similar to each other. I suddenly realized that it was my own daughter who would be like my father. ”

"If you really have this suspicion, why didn't you just drop blood for a blood test at that time, but listened to an outsider to believe that Jin Zhi was your biological daughter? Is it fair to Jin Zhi that you did this? She was deceived by her mother and forced to marry a fool, if there was no help from His Royal Highness King Yan later, she would probably die in prison. Then this life will be ruined by you!"

Listening to Cheng Yan's unusually heavy words, Cheng Xuan raised his voice very excitedly, and his expression became much more indignant and serious.

But I could vaguely guess in my heart that the reason why Cheng Yan didn't take the initiative to verify Cheng Jinzhi's life experience for so many years may just be to leave a thought for himself.

After all, there are some things in this world that are not debunked and have no answers, which are the best.

"Actually, at that time, although I was in Nanchu, I also sent someone to secretly deal with the head of the Criminal Department, and asked her to treat Jin Zhi well, but you don't know. ”

Cheng Yan said unhurriedly, raising his hand to smooth the wrinkles on his sleeves, as if he deliberately didn't want to look at Cheng Xuan's eyes full of surprise and doubt.

"Even if she wasn't my own daughter, even if I was already a ruthless father in your eyes, I wasn't so cruel as to watch her die. ”

As he spoke, his eyes flickered, and he got up from the stone steps, straightened his back and took a few steps forward, half of his body hidden in the courtyard, in the depths of the night where there was no moonlight.

"As for that marriage, if the person Jin Zhi likes is not Hanqing but anyone else, I may fulfill her. ”

After a long silence, Fang said in a deep tone.

"But only Gu Xun's son, no. ”
