Chapter 130: He's a Man
Xie Jingxiu stood there, holding his hands in his hands.
It was still a little cold when he left, and now it was the turn of spring and summer. Xiao Yu's mind still reflected Xie Jingxiu's cold and handsome appearance wearing fur, the person in front of him was dressed in a light silk robe, dark blue as the base, silver wire embroidery, wide shoulders, narrow waist and long body, Xiao Yu actually felt strange for a moment.
Xie Jingxiu walked towards him. Xiao Yu thought that most of the confrontation between him and Princess Yuan in the courtyard just now had been heard by Xie Jingxiu, and he suddenly felt a little weak. Before he could figure out what his heart was, Xiao Yu couldn't help but take a step back.
Xie Jingxiu paused, and a trace of injury wrinkled between his brows.
Xiao Yu was a little embarrassed, and spoke up first: "Xie Shizi." β
"Xiu'er." Princess Yuan had already crossed him and stood in front of Xie Jingxiu.
Miss Jian Liu, Ying Ying, stood beside Princess Yuan and glanced at Xiao Yu through the light veil as thin as a cicada's wings.
"Mother." Xie Jingxiu first saluted Princess Yuan, and the courtesy was thoughtful and impeccable.
Princess Yuan nodded with satisfaction, with a rare smile on her face: "Xiu'er, you go back to the house first, and your mother will give you an explanation for today's affairs." β
Miss Jian Liu also squatted down to give a blessing, and called out in her mouth: "Cousin." β
Xie Jingxiu didn't look at her, nor did he pay attention to Princess Yuan's words, but just stretched out his hand towards Xiao Yu.
"Yu'er, come here."
Princess Yuan's face sank instantly, and she glanced at Xiao Yu in disgust, but she didn't speak at all.
She knows her son. Outsiders only saw Xie Jingxiu being cold and silent, and he didn't seem to be close to anyone, but for so many years, it was Xie Jingxiu who had supported the Yuan Wangfu, otherwise the Yuan Wangfu would not be what it is today.
The Yuan Palace, which must occupy an extremely important position in Xie Jingxiu's heart, otherwise why would he even raise Concubine Ding and his concubines in that mansion well.
Qu Qu a Feng Zhaoyu, how to compare with the entire Yuan Wangfu?
She believes that Xie Jingxiu will make the right choice.
Xiao Yu looked at Xie Jingxiu, a little hesitant whether to listen to him.
Compared to the-for-tat just now, the atmosphere seems to be much calmer now. But between the three people who were a few steps away from him, there was clearly an invisible Shura field.
It was easy for him to take a step forward, but he wasted all his previous efforts.
The fate of the future is still in the hands of Xie Jingxiu, and it is up to him to weigh the importance between himself and Princess Yuan, such a passive situation makes Xiao Yu discouraged.
After all, Princess Yuan is Xie Jingxiu's biological mother, and he-
Xiao Yu was still hesitating, but Xie Jingxiu suddenly strode over, and his tall figure seemed to endure countless anger and unwillingness. He stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Yu, his slender five fingers were as hard as eagle claws, pinching Xiao Yu's wrist painfully, but the action of holding him was extremely gentle.
Xiao Yu was startled, but he didn't have time to react at all, so he was gently held in Xie Jingxiu's arms. A hand stroked back and forth on his back.
Although Xie Jingxiu did not speak, Xiao Yu felt the comfort he had endured.
It's just that he didn't see it, Xie Jingxiu's cold gaze over his shoulder and looking at Er Jiu made Er Jiu tremble, and after a while, he lowered his head and slowly knelt on the ground.
"Jing Xiu, there is one thing you should know." Princess Yuan's voice sounded behind him.
Xiao Yu watched the beautiful and noble woman look at him with undisguised disgust, and felt a pang of boredom in his heart.
"Mama Qin, tell the prince of the world, what ugly things did the princess he worked so hard to come to do." Princess Yuan said coldly.
Mama Qin responded, stepped forward, and said in a shriveled voice: "The prince left Beijing for three months, and the princess did not return to the house for several days and nights, and now she is more than a month pregnant. β
Such a few concise and clear sentences, but they are heart-wrenching.
The first time he heard the idea of happy pulse, Xiao Yu still felt funny, but now he can't laugh.
Funny means but with insidious intentions, if it is really a woman in this era, I am afraid that I will be forced to be speechless and cornered.
Xie Jingxiu let go of him and walked to Princess Yuan to stand still.
The corners of Princess Yuan's lips were slightly raised: "Xiu'er-"
Xie Jingxiu said: "Mother, you have always boasted of being high, why are you not high?" I call you a concubine, not to give you the confidence to wantonly hurt him. You let me ...... Very disappointed. β
Princess Yuan's expression froze, she looked at Xie Jingxiu in disbelief, gritted her teeth for a while, and said, "What do you mean?!" β
Xie Jingxiu just looked at her lightly, but those two glances made her feel cold all over her body.
"You, are you going to deal with my biological mother for that unworthy thing?!" Princess Yuan pressed her chest with a pale face, only to feel an indescribable anger surging in her chest in an instant. The anger rushed through her body, but there was no outlet for it.
She had never been so angry as she was now. Even in the face of Feng Zhaoyu, who robbed Jian Rou's position, she has always had only contempt, only disgust and contempt from above.
But at this moment, Xie Jingxiu's words and eyes almost made her go crazy.
"You...... How dare you?! How dare you?! Princess Yuan pointed at him with trembling fingers, Miss Jian Liu hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said softly: "Auntie, don't be angry, your body has always been delicate, and you should not be angry and angry." She looked at Xie Jingxiu again: "Cousin, what Mama Qin said is true, even if you have a grudge in your heart, you should never be angry with your aunt." Imperial Physician Zhou is here, and my aunt was originally worried about the body of the princess and invited the imperial physician from the palace, but she didn't expect to be diagnosed like this-"
"Mother." Xie Jingxiu didn't look at Miss Jian Liu, but just looked at Princess Yuan's increasingly pale and weak face.
Princess Yuan looked at him with such resentment, and it was as cold as an ice ridge with nine cold days.
"You, like your father, have no heart!" Princess Yuan gritted her teeth and said in a low voice.
Xie Jingxiu was indifferent. When he was a child, he always wanted to get close to this beautiful, cold and lofty woman, hoping that she could love and protect him like the most ordinary mother in the world. It's just that it never gets its way.
He thought that Princess Yuan was cold by nature, or she was heartbroken by Lord Yuan, but she loved Miss Jian Liu very much. It's not that she doesn't have warmth, she just doesn't give it to him.
No matter how much incomprehension and uneasiness there once had, it has gradually faded away in the past 20 years, leaving no trace of embers.
"Mother, now I give you two choices." Xie Jingxiu said, "First, return to the Yuan Palace, continue to be your rich and leisurely princess, and you must not take half a step out of the Yiran small residence from now on." This is also your wish. The Jian family has no connection with the Yuan Wangfu anymore. Second-"
Without waiting for Xie Jingxiu to finish speaking, Miss Jian Liu's feet softened. Princess Yuan glared at Xie Jingxiu in disbelief, clutching Miss Jian Liu's arm in her hand, as if she was afraid that Xie Jingxiu would immediately drive Miss Jian Liu away from her.
"Jing Xiu, how can you say such ungrateful words!" Princess Yuan said in a trembling voice, and Miss Jian Liu saw that her shoulders trembled with excitement, so she hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle from her purse and poured out two pills to feed Princess Yuan to eat.
Princess Yuan gradually calmed down under the patter of Miss Jian Liu, the thin sweat on her forehead soaked her hair, she looked at Xie Jingxiu, and said sadly: "Jing Xiu, are you so indistinguishable from right and wrong now?" Are you going to abandon the Jian family's life-saving grace to you, and even take revenge at the expense of kindness?! β
Xie Jingxiu sneered: "The grace of saving lives? There was never a life-saver. β
Princess Yuan sneered again and again: "Okay, good, now you don't even want to admit the grace of saving your life." Well, that's good! β
"It's been ten years, and my mother keeps saying that the Jane family has a life-saving grace for me. I only asked my mother, did you see it with your own eyes, or did you hear it with your own ears? Xie Jingxiu said lightly.
Princess Yuan was so angry that her thin lips trembled slightly, and her heart was in pain.
"Rebel, shut up! Dr. Jane died young to save your life, and you are so ungrateful today, where is your conscience! β
Xie Jingxiu said coldly: "Doctor Jian died young, but it wasn't to save me. When I was twelve years old, I was on the road when I encountered assassins, and in my hurry I ran into Dr. Jian and his disciples, who had gone into the mountains to collect medicine. I was afraid that I would be involved in him, so I didn't recognize him. I came back alive after nine deaths, and when I came back, I heard my mother talking about Dr. Jane's life-saving grace all day long. I also want to know, where does this life-saving grace come from? β
"Rebel, you have to deny even the conclusive evidence? You-" Princess Yuan wanted to argue, but suddenly remembered that the disciple of the Jian family returned with Dr. Jian's medicine box wolf bèi that day, only saying that Dr. Jian fell off a cliff to save Xie Shizi and died, and his whereabouts with Xie Shizi were unknown, so he had to flee for his life alone. He hoped that the Yuan Wangfu would take care of the Jian Family Medical Center for the sake of Dr. Jian's sacrifice of his life.
The saying of life-saving grace, all the sources, only the disciple of the Jian family......
"Cousin, you...... How can you do that? Miss Jian Liu's figure flickered, and her hands tightly clutched the placket of her chest, "Auntie, don't you know what your father is like?" Now he wants to cover up the ugliness of others and disturb his old man's soul? β
Princess Yuan also tried to recall the events of the past, bent on finding a trace of conclusive evidence.
The disciple of the Jian family Tete found the door of the Yuan Wang's Mansion, and asked for the protection of the Yuan Wangfu as the Jian Family Medical Center with the kindness of Dr. Jian. Later, when Xie Jingxiu came back, he was also seriously injured and had just recovered, which seemed to be in line with the statement of the disciple of the Jian family, so no one had ever doubted that incident. Xie Jingxiu himself never said-
Yes, Xie Jingxiu never said that Dr. Jian did not save his life, but he never admitted that Dr. Jian had a life-saving grace for him. He just- he didn't say anything.
Princess Yuan looked at Xie Jingxiu in disbelief. If Dr. Jian didn't have any kindness to him at all, and countless people over the years had asked him to shield the Jian Family Medical Center from the wind and rain and escort him, why did he never explain it to anyone?!
Miss Jian Liu knelt beside Princess Yuan and said sadly, "Auntie......"
"Sheltering a small Jane Family Medical Pavilion is just a matter of raising your hands." Xie Jing cultivated, "Even if you don't use that life-saving grace as an excuse, if you want money and people, it's not that I can't give it." It's just that it has raised the appetite of some people, and they have forgotten their own catties. Now that you dare to attack my people, have you never examined yourself, what are you? β
Miss Jian Liu listened to this merciless belittling humiliation, and her eyes turned black with anger.
She thought that these days had fallen from the clouds to the ground, and there would never be a more wolf bèi. But I didn't expect that this moment was the real Infernal Hell!
In the end, Princess Yuan felt sorry for Miss Jian Liu, and at this moment she no longer dwelled on the matter of kindness, and protected Miss Jian Liu and said angrily: "In the end, it is still for him!" What * soup did he pour you to shelter such a lewdβ"
Xie Jingxiu's eyes sank, and he said coldly: "I don't want to hear any more words from your mouth that are against him. Mother, don't provoke me. β
Princess Yuan's eyes widened in shock: "You-he is pregnant with someone else's wild seed, do you want to protect him?!" Such a shameless person should summon his scandals to the world and let the world spurn them! β
Princess Yuan was already so angry that she was about to lose her mind.
This son has been ignored by her for more than 20 years, just because he is also the son of that man, so she can neither love nor hate, so she can only ignore it.
It wasn't until later that he grew up and grew into an excellent man, but he never had a trace of resentment because of her neglect. He was humble, filial, and capable. She was still indifferent to him, just because her heart was not in that cage-like palace at all, and what did this son who was destined to inherit the filial piety of the Yuan Wangfu have to do with her.
Unexpectedly, the only time this son showed his minions to her, it made Princess Yuan's heart ache and she almost went crazy.
If she originally felt disgusted with that Feng Zhaoyu just because of Miss Jian Liu, what was rising and tumbling in her heart at this moment was the strongest jealousy!
"That's enough." Xie Jingxiu said coldly, and suddenly stretched out his hand to Xiao Yu.
"Yu'er, come here." Xie Jing cultivated.
Xiao Yu, who had been standing behind to minimize his sense of zΓ i, was stunned at this time, and raised his head to meet Xie Jingxiu's gaze.
Xie Jingxiu just looked at him quietly, his clear gaze was as calm as water, and there were no ripples.
But Xiao Yu understood the hint of expectation in the depths of his gaze.
Xie Jingxiu has always called him in this way since just now. It was only a few steps away, but he wished he had come by himself.
Xiao Yu knew that what he said was still heard by Xie Jingxiu, and he remembered it in his heart.
Xie Jingxiu always wanted to use this way to confirm that he would take the initiative to walk towards him.
With such a tortuous mind, Xiao Yu felt that he could understand him, and he could be called quick-witted.
The first time, Xie Jingxiu ran over and grabbed him, and this time, Xiao Yu sighed slightly and took a step.
At this time, he can't always dismantle Xie Jingxiu's platform......
Xie Jingxiu seemed to have a moment of excitement, but when he looked closely, he was still calm, but he just took two steps to meet Xiao Yu and took his hand.
Princess Yuan stared at the two of them with tears in her eyes, and the silk handkerchief in her hand was hooked by sharp nails.
"Jing Xiu, don't think you can hide today's events! Take this kind of shameless person as a treasure, do you want to be laughed at by the world?! β
Xie Jingxiu clenched Xiao Yu's hand and sneered: "The world is laughing at shame? Could it be that Princess Yuan of Xiaoqing Gao would have used this kind of indiscriminate means, or was the exquisite medical skills inherited by the Jian Family Medical Center for a hundred years used by Miss Jian Liu to frame others? β
"Don't be too busy covering up your ugliness." Princess Yuan gritted her teeth and said coldly, "If you think that he is really upright and not afraid of crookedness, you can ask the doctors in the whole city to check his pulse and see if the unsightly pregnancy is true or false!" β
"No, I don't." Xie Jingxiu said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yu kept looking at Xie Jingxiu, and at this time, his heart suddenly moved, and a trace of premonition rose from the bottom of his heart-
The left hand was held tightly in the palm of Xie Jingxiu's hand, and sure enough, he heard Xie Jingxiu say again: "No one needs to diagnose the pulse." He's a man, a man like me. You're using the wrong people. β
"What?! What did you say?! Princess Yuan almost doubted her ears.
Imperial Doctor Zhou, who had been cowering in the corner, couldn't wait to leave here immediately.
He really didn't want to hear the secrets of so many deep mansions......
"Man......" Miss Jian Liu muttered in a low voice, looking at the young man beside Xie Jingxiu with some abruptness.
Yes, since he married Xie Jingxiu, he has never worn a day's women's clothes, and he has always looked like a teenager.
It turns out that this is the truth, and the truth has always been clearly placed in front of them.
She and Princess Yuan turned a blind eye, but like two clowns jumping off the beam, they used clumsy but self-righteous means.
"You're crazy, you're crazy!" Princess Yuan clutched her chest and shook her head repeatedly, "You know he's a man?" How dare you ask for a decree to marry a man?! It's-"This is the sin of deceit!"
Xiao Yu didn't have this kind of worry, Xie Jingxiu said that he would confess, and he didn't even have any warning. He has been out for three months, and when he comes back, he has gained so much confidence that he doesn't even care about the crime of bullying the king?
Princess Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and turned her head around anxiously. Inside and outside the courtyard are people from the Yuan Wang's Mansion, so they are not afraid, but the Bailing Lu Rongrong who shrank behind a few people from Guang'an Hall, as well as the Imperial Doctor Zhou who stood with his hands down-
"The concubine doesn't need to worry about anything else." Xie Jingxiu said, "If you are willing to choose the first path, you will always be the noble princess of Yuan in the future, and no one can shake your status." β
Seeing that he was ignoring the real big things, but only thinking about letting the Jian family get out of touch with the Yuan Palace, Princess Yuan couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and sneered: "What if I don't want to choose?" β
Xie Jingxiu said: "You are unwilling to return to the cage of the Yuan Palace, I respect your thoughts." You have always been close to the Jane family, you are a close sister to Mrs. Jane, and you are like a mother and daughter with Miss Jane Liu. I am here to rule for my father, and from now on, I will set you free. β
Princess Yuan's eyes widened, still soaked with tears, and there was a bulge in her thin chest.
I only heard Xie Jingxiu continue: "From today on, you are no longer the princess of the Yuan Palace, and the Yuan Palace's Mansion is no longer qualified to ask about your affairs. No one will force you to be locked up in the deep mansion compound of the Yuan Wang's Mansion anymore. From this day forward, you are free. β
Princess Yuan looked at Xie Jingxiu's calm and impersonal face, her mind was in a mess, and she suddenly turned a little around.
She knew that what Xie Jingxiu said was true, and her son had always been the same.
From the moment she learned that the man had betrayed her, she had been looking forward to this day all the time. Freedom, the freedom she craves the most.
However, there was a trace of palpitations that could not be ignored from the heart to the fingertips, making her tremble uncontrollably.
"Lord Wang...... I won't agree. She heard her own voice say.
Xie Jingxiu smiled seemingly indifferently.
"He will agree, he will not dare to persecute you again. Rest assured. β
Xie Jingxiu said again: "Although I have purchased a few mansions, they are still the property of the Yuan Wangfu, and I don't want to mess with you." β
"You still like to go to the Jian Family Medical Center, the people and things you value the most are there. I'll send a few guards to get you there properly. β
was originally full of confidence, but when Princess Yuan was sent to the carriage of the Jian family by the guards of the palace half respectfully and half toughly, she looked like she was in a trance.
Miss Jane Six was still sitting beside her.
In the past, she was looking forward to this empathetic girl coming to her every day to comfort her increasingly numb heart in the cold Yuanwang Mansion.
Now they sit in the same carriage, go to the same place, and can be together for a long time, but now they have lost the intimacy they have always had, and they just sit with their own hearts.
Xie Jingxiu will no longer take care of the Jian family, and the Yuan Wangfu will no longer ask Princess Yuan.
They all know that Xie Jingxiu never jokes and does what he says......
