Chapter 244: Stalemate
In the living room, the atmosphere is very solemn. Xia Qingxuan sat on the main hall www.biquge.info the main hall, Zhen Tianxiong sat on the first seat on the left, Xia Qi sat on the second seat on the right, Mrs. Xia stood opposite Zhen Tianxiong, her face was unconcealable anger, her eyes were still full of tears, the two hands were hooked together, the delicate and smooth back of the hand could see the slightly bulging green tendons, the square scarf embroidered with Tilian was almost torn in two, and there was a broken teacup next to her feet, and the tea wet the dark red woven short-hair carpet.
The maids were all outside the house, and even if they heard the sound of the cup breaking, no one dared to come in and clean it up. The atmosphere had been stalemate for a long time, and everyone in the room had their own thoughts, but no one wanted to be the first to speak.
No matter which one of them opens this mouth first, it will undoubtedly lead to an inevitable conflict, because their respective identities are different, and the focus of the problem is naturally different.
Xia Qingxuan's eyes were bloodshot, but he didn't show weakness at all, staring at Zhentianxiong who was also staring at him with suppressed anger below, and the two eyes collided in the air, as if Mars hit the earth, crackling, and shining!
That's the dignity of two men.
He locked himself in his study last night, and stayed awake all night looking at a pottery figure with a broken right arm on the table. It was learned from the nurse when the daughter was four years old, although he couldn't tell who he looked like, but in his heart, it was vivid and lifelike! And the best gift he's ever received.
He stared intently at the statue and looked at it all night, without blinking.
He loved her daughter more than anything else, but buried the happiness of the second half of her life with his own hands, what an ironic thing!
For Zhen Tianxiong, from the perspective of coming to the door to propose marriage as the man's family, since the woman already has a marriage contract, it can only mean that the two of them have no chance, and the marriage can only be a regret, a regret that no one can complain about.
But from the perspective of being Xia Xue'er's master, whether she marries Su Qi or not, she should not marry someone she doesn't like, and she shouldn't be a victim of a political marriage!
Although he has always treated Xia Xue'er as his own daughter, after all, she was not really born by herself, she has a father, although this father took advantage of her, can this alone show that Xia Qingxuan does not love her?
No!
As a man, he knows what kind of torture it is to have to give up the woman he has always loved, so even if he is very angry, so angry that he wants to tear down the Anguo Marquis Mansion, he still has to control himself, just because, he has also given up the love of his life, knowing that he is not qualified to stand on the moral high ground to accuse others!
After a while, Zhen Tianxiong sneered self-deprecatingly and took the lead in looking away. Once the emperor made an order, it was Chrysostom Yuyan, and there was never any possibility of taking it back, things were already so bad, he was only worried that his lover would not be able to stand it!
"Where's Cher?"
"Hey~"
Mrs. Xia sighed, sat down slowly, stretched out her hand and stroked her forehead, and then said, "She locked herself in the yard and refused to come out, nor did she allow anyone to enter." ”
After hearing this, Zhen Tianxiong frowned, and asked further, "Are you sure she's inside?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Xia and her son both raised their heads, frowned, and looked at him with puzzled faces, while Xia Qingxuan was eyes flashed with a trace of horror, but quickly extinguished it again, and asked, "What do you mean .......?!" ”
All his reactions were in his eyes, including the flash of horror, in fact, he knew his daughter, but why did he do such a thing to make her sad?
He couldn't figure it out!
He glanced at everyone, and finally landed on Xia Qingxuan's face, and asked rhetorically: "You raised your daughter yourself, don't you know?" ”
Xia Xueer is smart and clever, although she is young, she has a delicate heart, and she can always see the essence of things, if it is just a matter of marriage from the emperor, although it is a blow, it will definitely not break her, after all, she is so strong and brave. But if it is betrayed by her relatives, then she can't accept it no matter what!
She is like a hedgehog most of the time, soft on the inside but strong on the outside, and she also knows how to protect herself. In times of difficulty and danger, you can curl up and use your spikes to fight back until you push your enemies back!
But family and friendship are her weakness, whenever there is a problem in these two aspects, she can no longer curl up, and she can't hurt others with the sharp weapon all over her body, even if it's just to protect herself, she can't do it, so she will always be bruised all over her body! Whenever she does, she chooses to become an ostrich and stick her head in the sand when she is in danger, as a way to trick herself into saying that she is safe, and to escape from things she doesn't want to face.
And now, is that what it is?
"Someone!"
Mrs. Xia trembled, her body was a little uncontrollably weak, her own daughter, how could she not understand! I just hadn't thought of this layer before.
When Mama Gui heard the call, she hurriedly slammed the door and ran in, seeing her wife's trembling body and frightened face, she hurriedly reached over, trying to support her trembling body, but she grabbed her hand first.
"Go ahead, go and see if Cher is in the yard!"
When Mama Gui heard this, some of the second monks were puzzled, how did this good look become like this, for fear that she would have an accident, so she was a little hesitant, Mrs. Xia saw her rubbing, and couldn't help but shout anxiously: "You go quickly!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Only then did Mama Gui understand, maybe she heard that something had happened to Yuxuan, so she turned around and trotted away as soon as she hurriedly answered.
Xia Qingxuan was also in a hurry, so he stood up directly and strode out of the house, he couldn't rest assured, he had to check it out in person!
If something happens to his daughter, he won't forgive himself! Besides, this is an extraordinary time now, her daughter has been given to marry His Royal Highness King Qi, and the wedding is also very hasty, only six months of preparation time, she should stay in the boudoir during this time, how can she be missing? If this is the case, the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion is equivalent to the crime of deceiving the king, and it will be copied and beheaded!
Mrs. Xia had already slipped off her chair, and the tears that she had been holding back came out of her eyes, and her whole face was stretched horizontally, and her makeup was spent.
She could think that the marriage was related to the Hou Ye, could it be that her daughter was so smart that she couldn't think of this?
It was she who ignored it.
According to her daughter's temperament, she can endure one person and one thing being imperfect, but she absolutely can't stand deception and betrayal!
Her daughter is all she has, her life! If her daughter really can't think about it for a while and does something stupid, how can she live?
No matter how self-contained she is on weekdays, how dignified and beautiful she is, she can't cry at this moment. (To be continued.) )
