Chapter Fifty-Seven: Retreating (Asking for Votes)
Xia Xue'er lowered her head and trembled after saying these words that were all contrary to her father, then lowered her head and closed her eyes, waiting for a storm to attack, but half a moment later, she still couldn't get a response from her father.
The big room was quiet again, the boundless silence enveloped her, and the pain of being slowly cut by a sharp knife, and at this moment she longed to curl up like a wounded little hedgehog, hiding in her own little world, licking her wounds, and not asking about the troubles of the outside world.
My father, like all soldiers who are always ready to sacrifice their lives for the country, has closely linked his life with the army. As a general in command of operations, he has been accustomed to giving orders for most of his life, and he is also accustomed to everyone acting according to his orders, and he has never had any objections!
However, what Xia Xue'er said just now, every word has the meaning of refutation, which will inevitably make Xia Qingxuan unhappy. After all, Xia Qingxuan's identity is special, and she treats her well, do you want her to treat him like an old lady?
But how is this possible!
After struggling with her thoughts for nearly half an hour, Xia Xue'er finally mustered up the courage to raise her head, but was surprised to find that the ruthless father before was gone, and now the man sitting in front of her not only did not act with thunderous anger, but there was a bright open-mindedness and satisfaction between her eyebrows.
Xia Qingxuan bent down and reached out to help her daughter who was kneeling in front of her, and said distressedly: "Don't kneel without moving, it's just a few days after spring, the ground is still cold, and it's not good to get wet."
Hearing this, Xia Xue'er, who was already puzzled, was even more confused, and was stunned in place.
I really don't know what happened just now, which can make my father's attitude change a hundred and eighty degrees!
Could it be that she had a brief period of amnesia? Or did an alien visit her room during this time and change her father's mind? Still is......
Xia Xue'er speculated wildly.
However, Xia Qingxuan didn't intend to explain more, turned his head and simply picked up the rosewood token that Xianglan had placed on the table before, held it in his hand and flipped it over and looked at it twice, his eyes were deep and distant, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Xia Xue'er stared at this qiΔ, nervous that her heart was raised to her throat, but she didn't know what her father wanted, so she didn't say a word.
However, her father's actions in the next second completely subverted her father's image of self-esteem in her heart!
I saw Xia Qingxuan take his daughter's hand and solemnly hand over the token left by Zhen Tianxiong to his daughter.
His daughter's position in his heart is very important and unmatched, and for his daughter, he is willing to make concessions that ordinary people can hardly imagine. What the son said is reasonable, if there is a deep estrangement between father and daughter and between husband and wife because of some groundless rumors and his own wanton suspicion, then the gains outweigh the losses!
Ben still had a slight concern, but he already knew his daughter's true thoughts during this trip.
Some obsessions, it's time to let go.
Xia Xue'er stared at the token that her father solemnly handed over to her, and her thoughts were full of thoughts. The token is light, but she seems to be as heavy as holding a mountain!
Although his father did not explain, his meaning was obvious, and letting her accept this token with peace of mind was equivalent to acknowledging her identity as the personal disciple of the valley lord of the Netherworld Valley, which was indirectly equivalent to letting go of the hatred that had been hidden in her heart for a long time, and eliminating the misunderstanding with her mother.
This is a good sign, but why can't Xia Xue'er be happy?
About half an hour later, Xia Xue'er, who suddenly came back to her senses, found that her father had left without knowing when, so she hurriedly got up and chased out the door, looking left and right but did not see her father's majestic back.
Extremely disappointed, he dragged his tired body back to the room, and the new tea in his father's cup in the two teacups on the table had not been drunk, but it had lost its temperature.
Xia Xue'er stared at the black tea in the cup that was as bright as blood, the tea leaves that had been moistened by the boiling morning dew were quietly spread on the bottom of the small cup one by one, completely devoid of the vitality and passion of the boiling water to circle up and down, like a person who was tired of running around gradually slowed down to savor the various states of life, peaceful and quiet.
A few days later, at dusk when the sun was like blood, Xia Xue'er, dressed in white, was practicing martial arts in the court.
Now her martial arts skills are no longer a secret that cannot be said, in the huge Xia Mansion, from the old lady to the pulp sweeping girl, it can be said that everyone knows about it, so it is not as secretive as before.
Suddenly, the little maid Qiu Ju hurriedly ran into the door from outside the courtyard, and before she could run to the master, she stood far away in the corridor and shouted to Xia Xue'er, who was dancing with a sword in the courtyard: "Miss! The lord ordered to dispose of Zixi and the three of them today! All of them are killed! β
Rod!
Xia Xue'er was dancing the sword seriously, but when she suddenly heard Qiu Ju's words, she chuckled in her heart, lost her mind for a while, her internal force was not controlled, and the sword qi swept away.
I only heard the sound of "bang", and the old sycamore tree in the courtyard fell in response! The new shoots fell to the ground with the insolent branches, raising up puffs of dust.
Looking at the old sycamore that was split in half in an instant, Qiu Ju's eyebrows were full of joy, but at this moment, there was only amazement and admiration left in her eyes! Miss is really amazing, just one trick of the immortal to guide the way is so powerful!
However, Xia Qi, who was sitting quietly on his roof in the distance and peeking at his sister's sword dance, was frowning at the moment, full of worry, and he naturally took Qiu Ju's words into his ears with superior internal strength!
Sure enough, as he expected, he saw his sister, who was handy with the sword in her hand one second, but the next second she was swallowed by the suddenly raging sword qi, not only did the sword leave her hands, but even her body fell from the air after a sharp shake!
He hurriedly flew towards Tingyuxuan, but he was still a step too late.
My sister had fallen hard, and the hard bluestone slabs where she landed were shaken out of the fine lines, and even if they were far away, he could hear the clicking sound of the stone tearing.
When he arrived, he saw Xia Xue'er kneeling on one knee, supporting half of her body with the sword in her hand, and a trace of blood hanging from the corner of her mouth.
As soon as Xia Qi landed, without saying a word, he hurriedly helped his sister to sit down on the spot, and he also sat cross-legged behind his sister to heal his injuries.
The other three maids, who were cleaning in the house, heard the noise and felt that something was not quite right outside, and hurriedly poked their heads out to check. When I saw the eldest young master in the courtyard who came to the courtyard at some point, he was healing the young lady's luck, although he didn't know what was happening, he was so nervous that he sweated, and he didn't dare to come forward to disturb him.
Qiu Ju, who stood on the corridor and witnessed a qiΔ, was frightened by the scene in front of her, and at this moment she realized that it was her recklessness that killed the young lady, and she blamed herself and worried, and her head was hot, and she hurriedly pulled her legs and ran to the center of the courtyard.
is still Xianglan's sharp eyes, when everyone focused their eyes on the young lady and the young master, she found Qiu Ju who was running towards the two, she was in a hurry, and hurriedly used light skills to skim Qiu Ju, and pulled her back in the blink of an eye.
"You're crazy! If you disturb them at this time, then not only the young lady will be injured, but even the eldest young master will be in danger! β
Qiu Ju, who had already taken all the blame on herself, was even more blamed for herself when she was angry by Xianglan's low roar, and couldn't help but start sobbing and crying, and Xianglan also regretted it after seeing it, maybe her tone shouldn't have been so harsh.
Fortunately, Xia Xue'er's internal injuries were not strict, and after Xia Qi's timely and effective treatment, there was no major problem, but Xia Qi understood her sister's temperament, and knew that her father's actions today would make her unacceptable, who had been kind since she was a child, and was afraid that her new injury would happen to have some accidents, so she ordered her sleeping hole, so that she could ignore her worries and fall asleep groggily.
Xia Qi stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his sister's lips, and looked angrily at Qiu Ju, who had just recklessly reported the news, and although the four people standing at the door were far away from Xia Qi, they still felt his fierce gaze passing through the layers of air at that moment, and suddenly felt several degrees cold around him.
"Someone!" I only heard him angry: "Drag that girl who has no eyesight down!" Hit fifty sticks! β
Hearing this, Cuizhu and the others were shocked, and Qiu Ju, who was already suffering, was so frightened that she sat down directly on the ground.
Then, two guards with knives, who were as strong as oxen, strode over, and dragged the stunned Qiu Ju away without saying a word.
"Miss! Save me! Help me! β
Qiu Ju has been taken away by the guards, but the cry for help has been lingering in everyone's hearts, Cuizhu and the others hurriedly knelt down to plead for the opening, but the eldest young master was in full swing, and he was really powerless!
Looking at the row of people kneeling on the ground, Xia Qi's mood quickly calmed down. He has always had clear grievances, he should be punished for his mistakes, he will be rewarded for his merits, and he has never been angry with irrelevant people.
Moved his sister back to the collapse, and he himself sat and guarded. Looking around, I found that the furnishings in my sister's house were so elegant and refined, and there were no all kinds of small objects that a little girl of her age loved to play with.
Interesting, really interesting!
"Report!"
A shout suddenly sounded at the door, as if it was thunder on the ground, and Cuizhu and the others were startled.
"What?"
"Back to the eldest young master, Master Mu is here."
Xia Qi frowned slightly after hearing this, as if he already knew what Mu Feiyang meant by this. Although he was reluctant, he still instructed outside the door: "I know, you take the son to the master's study first, and I will be there in a while."
"Yes!"
Listening to the footsteps outside the door and walking away, Xia Qi looked back at the quiet face of his sister, and after a while, he sighed lightly and muttered to himself: "Childe's trip is a blessing or a curse, the eldest brother can't give you any guarantees, so he can only do his best."
Then he stood up and wanted to leave, but suddenly turned his head and instructed the maid in the house: "The third lady has been physically and mentally exhausted recently, and there is no need to say those inconsequential things to make her annoyed!"
"Yes."
Xia Qi's tone was cold and hard, and Cuizhu and the others replied tremblingly, until he walked out of the room.
Perhaps because she hasn't had a good rest since her wife's accident, Xia Xue'er slept until dusk on the second day.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a pair of big sparkling eyes.
Xia Xue'er lifted the quilt and asked casually while sitting up, "I remember that the eldest brother came, but why did I sleep here in a daze?"
Dongmei was quick-mouthed, and replied with a slightly ridiculous grin: "Miss, you slept too soundly, and you saw the eldest young master in a dream!" The eldest young master has been here, but seeing that the young lady is still asleep, he left again. β
After hearing this, Xia Xue'er turned her head suddenly, stared at Dongmei and asked, "Didn't he still heal my injuries?"
"Miss, you said that it was yesterday!"
"Yesterday?" Xia Xue'er was taken aback, couldn't help frowning, and then as if she remembered something, she hurriedly asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"
"Twelve hours."
"Twelve Hours ......"
Xia Xue'er muttered to herself, but her mood flew away unconsciously, and she was very annoyed!
I remember that before falling asleep, Qiu Ju came to report that her father was determined to execute the three troublemakers, and she was going to intercede.
Although she also hated the three of them for becoming accomplices to the devil for money, and assisted Bai Yining in planning the murder of her mother, they were not the masterminds of this matter after all, and their crimes were not to death!
Twelve hours, let alone saving people, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see the bones!
While Xia Xueer remorseful and blamed herself, she suddenly remembered the real mastermind behind this turmoil, but she didn't know what happened to her.
"That Bai Yining, she ......"
"Miss Hui, the slaves and maids have all inquired, and this incident has not affected Aunt Bai, she ...... Walked away. β
"What?!"
Xia Xue'er couldn't believe her ears. I thought that according to my father's temperament that could not tolerate the slightest flaw, coupled with his soft spot for his mother for more than 20 years, Bai Yining would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die this time, but I never expected it to be this kind of ending!
There must be a ghost in it!
"Miss Hui, although this matter was suppressed by the old lady, it was ordered not to be passed on, and the violators were severely punished. But everyone has a heart for gossip, and the slave and maid also privately asked some of the attendants who were present that day, and knew some reasons sporadically. β
Xia Xue'er smelled the truth, and hurriedly turned her gaze to Cuizhu, who opened her mouth to say this.
"Speak quickly!"
"Miss, think about it carefully, although this matter was planned by Aunt Bai, it was none other than Mrs. who was injured, and the old lady had already regarded Mrs. as a threat, and the old lady had been obstructed in this matter, and the master had no chance to dig out Aunt Bai's mastermind behind the scenes!"
Cuizhu was excited to say it, and the rest of the people were dejected when they heard it.
"Pity these three lives."
Xia Xue'er sighed. She really felt that these three people were wronged in their deaths, but they could rot the truth in their stomachs, and they would rather die than say it, presumably they were also coerced by others and had to do it as a last resort.
I don't know what kind of attractive conditions the old lady promised them.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, silent, boundless silence.
Each has their own thoughts, and most of them are sighing to let Aunt Bai escape.
However, Cuizhu has been thinking about one thing, and she doesn't know whether to sue Miss SΓΉ or not. After all, this matter only originated from the words of the eldest young master, and it is very likely that the headless and tailless ones have nothing to do with Ting Yuxuan, and the eldest young master also warned them not to disturb the young lady's quiet rest when he left.
Should it be said or should not be said? All kinds of considerations in Cuizhu's heart are tangled into a mess!
