Chapter 227: She's Not My Mother
But no matter how disappointed and unwilling he was in his heart, he couldn't help but listen to the master's words, and a few little girls left in frustration like defeated roosters, and no one had the heart to analyze them in depth: Why did Xiao Donghai drive them away? In addition to feeling that the father and son are embarrassed once they quarrel, are you still afraid that it will be too embarrassing for you to suppress your son?
To be honest, Xiao Donghai is indeed very contradictory at this time. He only felt angry in Fang Qionghua's crying just now, but at this time, sitting in the study, listening to his son's footsteps from far and near, he couldn't help but think of that gentle and beautiful ex-wife, she was like a fairy above the nine heavens, but she was willing to give birth to children for herself, and then she withered like a flower in full bloom, leaving only Xiao Jingchun and Xiao Jiangbei as the continuation of their lives, even if he respected his ex-wife very much, but he couldn't hide the fact that he had never loved her, and now he wanted to ask his son for the sake of his beloved woman, which ...... No matter how you think about it, it's a bit empty-hearted.
"My son is visiting my father, I wonder why you called me?"
Xiao Jiangbei's voice pulled Xiao Donghai's sanity back, and when he looked up, he saw a son in cloth clothes who was still heroic and handsome standing in front of him. Fang Qionghua is his beloved woman, but this son is also his pride, for a while, the old general's heart was like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, and he didn't know what it was like, but he finally didn't ask angrily at the beginning, but first asked Xiao Jiangbei about the situation, and then said casually: "When you come back today, your mother went to meet you outside the second gate, do you know?" ”
Xiao Jiangbei was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes erupted with raging anger. However, remembering his wife's instructions before, he could only suppress the anger, and pursed his thin lips tightly. Only then did he say in a deep voice: "Father is talking about the new wife you married in March, right?" My stepmother? ”
Xiao Donghai let his son say a word for a long time without speaking, but what Xiao Jiangbei said was not wrong, he had to say sullenly: "It's her, now she is nominally your mother, and her stepmother is also a mother, she can come to the second gate to greet you, because she attaches importance and cares for you." But what did you do to her? ”
"What did I do to her? I bowed and greeted, what? Isn't that enough? Xiao Jiangbei raised his eyebrows. He said with a sneer.
Xiao Donghai was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "You...... You said you had met her? Did you salute too? How...... Why don't I know? ”
"My father wasn't there, so of course I didn't know." Xiao Jiangbei said lightly, but Xiao Donghai knew that the truth was not so simple: so many people watched. The son shouldn't lie. But Qionghua ...... She won't lie, just look at how wronged she cried, if she wasn't despised, Qinglian wouldn't dare to say something like that.
"How did you get there?" Xiao Donghai's face sank, and after thinking about it, he added: "Is it a big salute?" ”
"In addition to the emperor, the old lady and the father, who do you think your son has paid homage to? Even when my mother is alive, I have never paid a big salute. ”
Xiao Jiangbei snorted coldly. The words almost didn't make Xiao Donghai angry, and he slapped the table and shouted: "Nonsense." How old were you when your mother went? Who's going to care about any of that with you as a little kid? But how old are you now? Still so rude? ”
Xiao Jiangbei said coldly: "So many elders are here, and no one has said anything." She can't stand it? My brother-in-law is the crown prince, and he doesn't need me to pay a big salute, she is just one of my stepmothers, how do you want to take Joe? ”
He was not afraid of his father's anger at all, compared with Xiao Donghai's anger, Xiao Erye also held back a fire in his heart, and he had been holding back for more than half a year, at this time, he could still control it, and calmly reason with his father, he admired himself very much, if it weren't for Gu Qiluo's bitter persuasion that he should convince people with reason, I was afraid that this guy who had always been arrogant would have beaten the table with his father a long time ago.
"Bastard, do you still have etiquette and filial piety in your eyes?" As soon as Xiao Donghai saw his son's attitude, he knew that Fang Qionghua was crying correctly, and he was angry for a while, slammed his fist on the table, and roared angrily.
"In addition to filial piety, there is also respect and humility. I finally gave a salute, but what about her? Did she salute me, the marquis? Xiao Jiangbei sneered: "Why didn't Daddy ask her?" Do you know the etiquette and humility? ”
"You, you, you ......" Xiao Donghai pointed at this rebel: "Do you also want me, the father, to kneel down and salute to you, the marquis?" ”
"My son doesn't dare, and he doesn't want to." Xiao Jiangbei said: "Daddy gave birth to me and raised me, and he has a generous grace to me, only the reason for my son to visit my father, and there is no reason for my father to worship my son." But what is she? Did she give birth to me or did she raise me? Why did she ask me to bow to her? Aunt Xiang, Aunt Rong, Aunt Min, several elders were present, and no one thought I was rude, so she thought I was rude? Daddy, why don't you ask her? What qualifications does she have to receive my gift? ”
"Bastard, she's your mother." Xiao Donghai yelled, and the old man was so angry that he had to open his hair.
"It's stepmother." Xiao Jiangbei finally couldn't help it, and yelled back without showing weakness: "And it's my stepmother who doesn't have a day of nurturing grace for me." ”
"You're not filial, you bastard." Xiao Donghai pounded the table
Xiao Jiangbei was also on the verge of losing control, and was about to roar back again, when he suddenly saw his father's painful eyes, and remembered his wife's thousands of instructions before, so he took a deep breath, suppressed all the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Dad, I lost my mother soon after I was born, my mother gave birth to me in October, but I haven't been filial for a day, and now you want me to be filial to a woman I haven't even seen, why?" Just because she's the woman you love? Dad, have you ever thought about your son's feelings? You let me and my sister watch you hold her in the palm of your hand and care, do you know that we are already heartbroken, because this love should have belonged to my mother, but she and you have been married for a lifetime, but never got this love that should belong to her, now my mother is gone, yes, you can love whoever you want, and we as children cannot object, after all, we also have people we love, know this taste. But you can't force us to treat her as our own mother to be filial, because she is not our own mother, and never will be. ”
To the last sentence, Xiao Jiangbei finally roared out loudly, the young god of war who stood up to the sky, at this time, the pair of peach blossom eyes were moist and crystalline, he took a deep breath, and seemed to hold back his tears, and then said in a deep voice: "Daddy, please tell my stepmother, I don't need her to bother for me, I have grown up, I don't need her to raise her, and I will never treat her as a mother, for the happiness of my father, I can accept her as my stepmother, but that's all." She just needs to serve you well, and don't think about motherhood and filial piety. Dad, you don't have to be angry or angry, you can ask your colleagues and friends, there should be no shortage of people among them, you see which woman who continues the string will be so indisputable, and really regard herself as the mother of a child who has grown up, and want others to respect and be filial? This is a non-divisive thought. ”
Xiao Donghai was blocked for a long time without speaking, he was extremely depressed at this time, on the one hand, he knew that what his son said was right, but on the other hand, he was wronged for Fang Qionghua. The most important thing is that he has a weak heart, and the more weak his heart is, the more he can't get his face down. In the end, he could only cry out inwardly: "You...... You're trying to force me and your mother to move out, aren't you? ”
Xiao Jiangbei's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "It's not my mother, it's my stepmother." Dad, if you want to abandon the whole family for the sake of that woman, you want to trap me in unfilial piety and injustice, and you want the whole capital to see our family's jokes, then you can move out with her. ”
"You ......"
This sentence hit Xiao Donghai's weakness, he sighed dejectedly, and waved his hand for a long time before waving his hand and said: "Okay, your wings are stiff, now I'm an old man, I want to see your face to live, let's go, let's go." ”
"I won't show my father's face, and I won't give your beloved woman a look. But that's it, please Daddy also take care of his son's feelings, think about it carefully, did your son do something wrong today? Is it unfilial? ”
Xiao Jiangbei finished speaking softly, glanced at Xiao Donghai deeply, and then turned around and strode away.
Consider your son's feelings. In this society where filial piety is greater than heaven, no child has ever dared to make such a request to his parents, but today Xiao Jiangbei put it forward, with his character, this is not a strange move. Although it is very rude, this son is Xiao Donghai's pride, even if he is arrogant, even if he is ruthless, he is also the pride of being an old man, so Xiao Donghai sat in the chair, and really thought about it with his heart, and in the end, there was only one sigh.
When I returned to the West Courtyard, I saw Gu Qiluo wandering at the door, and when I saw him coming back, I hurriedly ran forward and pulled Xiao Jiangbei's arm to look up and down, Xiao Jiangbei was strange, so I heard her breathe a sigh ......of relief and said: "It's okay, it's okay that the master didn't beat you, I'm really afraid that he can't help it."
Xiao Jiangbei was angry and funny, shook his head and said, "Just think of your husband so uselessly?" As for it? Besides, my father has never moved a finger since I was a child, and now although he loves that woman, he will not be so confused. ”
Gu Qiluo smiled and said, "Hehe! Yes, I should be glad that I wasn't completely distracted, you don't know what happened to the house when I first came back, and the lord didn't reason, so I believed the woman's words. ”
Xiao Jiangbei said with a smile: "Daddy is a military attache in the end, he is careless, and it is impossible to pay more attention to the affairs of the backyard, and it is normal to be deceived by that woman." Hasn't it gotten a lot better since you came back? The woman also restrained a lot, it can be seen that she doesn't dare to rely on her father's favor to blindly come nonsense, in the end, she still can't completely turn her father into her puppet. (To be continued......)
