In addition, after the end of the Taishou Mansion, in order to better win over Xia Yu and Zhou Wentao, the king of Tiancheng rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, Xia Yu was young, and because of his meritorious work in quelling the chaos, he was directly canonized as Tiancheng's 'Fengyang County Lord', and his deceased mother, Mrs. Mei, was posthumously awarded the title of 'Mrs. Dehui' official residence.

In the decadent Xihou Mansion, although Xia Yu expressed his attitude and said that he would no longer ask about everything about Xia Xiong, he still restored his title for the sake of face. Of course, today's Xihou Ye still looks like the previous Hou Ye, but he has long lost real power in his hands.

Fengyang, that is a rich land south of Tianchengguo, King Tiancheng canonized Xia Yu as the county lord, and also assigned that piece of feng shui treasure land to her as a fief, which shows that he still likes Xia Yu very much. Of course, these superficial efforts are not done for others to see, Xia Yu and Tiancheng Wang......

They all know it.

And Zhou Wentao, after being named the prime minister, although he has his own mansion, he has always lived in Meizhuang, which is ten miles away from the city.

As the night fades quiet, the moon climbs up the treetops, and the bright moonlight shines on the courtyard, and everything looks quiet and beautiful. At this time, Xia Yu was lying on the flower stand in the courtyard, quietly in a daze.

Zhou Wentao pushed open the courtyard door, and walked in with Xia Yu's favorite desserts and flower tea in his hand.

"Xia Yu, Zhou Wentao can have today, thanks to you! I don't know how to repay the kindness in my life. ”

Holding desserts and flower tea, he walked to Xia Yu, and Zhou Wentao's eyes were slightly red.

Stretched out his hand, took a piece of osmanthus cake, bent his lips and smiled, but Xia Yu swayed the flower stand, and said indifferently: "With your talent, you should have done something, and I just helped you, that's all." ”

Everyone has their own experiences, and whether it is good or bad, it is not a lifetime thing. And Zhou Wentao's talent is also fully capable of taking on everything today, what she has done, but she doesn't want his life to change dramatically.

"Your help sent me from the hell of disappointment to the warm world, you won't know that I was even rejected for a fair imperial examination, that feeling of unwillingness and despair, I still don't forget." Zhou Wentao said, turning the dessert in his hand and placing it on the stone table not far away.

"The journey of life, the person who makes you despair, is also the person who inspires you and achieves you. So, why should you care about the past? Xia Yu said with a smile.

"Really? But Xia Yu, you haven't seen how those people who despised me at the beginning, looked down on me because my sister and I were wandering and penniless, and now they come to beg me and please me. That feeling really makes people feel very complicated. ”

"Those people, why do you have to be like them? In other words, if a beggar walked in front of you today, would you stop and look at him a few more times because he said he was talented? No, so Zhou Wentao, you must not look at others with the eyes of others in the past. ”

When Zhou Wentao heard this, he smiled lightly and looked at her: "I understand what you mean." So, I didn't take revenge on those people because they looked down on me in the first place. Instead, I smiled and walked away from them without saying anything, which made them even more nervous. ”

"You're doing a great job!"

Xia Yu looked at him with a smile, and seeing her smile blooming like a flower, Zhou Wentao suddenly hesitated.

"Summer Rain...... Actually, I'm coming to you tonight......"

"If you have anything to say, just say it!" After eating the osmanthus cake in his hand, Xia Yu looked up at the moon in the night sky.

"I ......" Zhou Wentao frowned slightly, stood in front of her with his hands in his hands, and said with a somewhat panicked expression: "Xia Yu, I'm coming to you tonight...... I want to tell you that I, Zhou Wentao, am willing to do anything for you in this life. Go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not hesitate. ”

"Really? But I don't want you to do anything for me. Zhou Wentao, you are now in a high position, and my greatest hope is that you can help me take good care of this family and take good care of Lu Qiao after I leave in the future. ”

Zhou Wentao is a good person, he couldn't let go of his political ambitions before, but now his dream has come true, after a long time together, Xia Yu also feels that he is indeed a more responsible and responsible man.

"Taking care of Meizhuang and Luqiao is what I should do...... Can! Zhou Wentao nodded, and it was not easy to muster up the courage to look at her face fixedly. After a pause, he saw him blushing and mustered up courage:

"Xia Yu, do you know Madame's wish before she is alive?"

Xia Yu was slightly stunned, the flower stand where she was lying stopped shaking, and it seemed to become silent because of Xia Yu's sudden condensation. After all, after that fire, no one dared to mention Aunt Mei in front of her......

Xia Yu raised her eyes, her gaze fell on Zhou Wentao, she knew that he had something to say to herself.

In order not to let himself retreat, Zhou Wentao took a deep breath and finally said the words suppressed in his heart: "Xia Yu, Mrs. has always hoped that you can live plainly before her death, she hopes that I can marry you, and then we can live a simple and happy life together in Meizhuang...... Although, Madame is no longer there, but ...... I, Zhou Wentao...... I still really want to fulfill this wish and take care of you! ”

After Zhou Wentao finished speaking, he kept looking at the expression on Xia Yu's face. Under the moonlight. I saw that she was a little stunned at first, but then she smiled lightly and shook her head.

"Zhou Wentao, do you know? In fact, I have always longed for a plain and happy life. ”

"I know, so I'm willing to do my best to be good to you, as long as you ...... Can give me a chance. ”

Zhou Wentao firmly said that in the past, he relied on Xia Yu for food and housing, and he didn't have the courage to chase what he liked. But now that he is in a high position and is the prime minister of the dynasty, he is fully capable of giving her everything she wants.

For her, go to Daoshan Mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and he will do his best to give Xia Yu happiness.

However, in the face of his confession, Xia Yu smiled slightly, and treated his words as a joke: "I'm sorry Wen Tao, I know your intentions, but Xia Yu is not worthy of you." ”

"How so? Xia Yu, do you not believe that I can give you happiness, or do you want to reject me with such a ridiculous reason? I know that you have always liked the prince of the Northern Underworld in the southern kingdom...... It's me who knows I'm not worthy of you, but I'm still dreaming of happiness that can give you happiness. But ......" Zhou Wentao has long known Xia Yu's heart and has never been in himself, but when he heard Xia Yu's refusal, he still felt very sad in his heart.

"Not really." The corners of his mouth were lightly raised, but Xia Yu said very seriously, "Actually...... It's because the last time I went to the Demon Realm, I accidentally discovered my background. Not only you, but I don't deserve any happiness in this world at all. ”

"Your background? What background? ”

Zhou Wentao was taken aback, he only knew that Xia Yu was the eldest lady of Xihou Mansion and the daughter of Aunt Mei, but he didn't know that Xia Yu was not Aunt Mei's biological son.

Xia Yu smiled, and didn't talk about meeting Han Qiufeng in the demon world, but asked him lightly, if he suddenly became a demon one day, then what would he think of himself.

Zhou Wentao was stunned for a moment, looking at Xia Yu with a puzzled expression, but saw that although she had a smile on the corner of her mouth, a sharp red light flashed in her eyes.

The red eyes, those are the eyes of the demon clan and the demon clan, Zhou Wentao was shocked when he saw it.

"Summer Rain...... You? Zhou Wentao looked at Xia Yu in disbelief, still unable to believe what he had just seen.

"What? You're scared too, aren't you?! The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, Xia Yu slowly sat up from the flower stand, and then raised his eyes to look at the bright moon in the sky: "Actually, when I first knew about it, I was also scared. ”

Demons? Isn't Xia Yu the daughter of Xia Xiong and Aunt Mei of Xihou Mansion? How did she become a demon after walking in the demon world?

How is this possible? She is such a proud, such a good person.

Zhou Wentao shook his head in disbelief, a little incredulous.

"I met my biological mother in the demon world, although my father is a human race, but my biological mother is a demon, so in my body, there is also the blood of the demon race. For this reason, I could lose myself at any time and fall into the demon race. Xia Yu said lightly, that kind of helplessness made Zhou Wentao not know what to say.

"I still don't believe it, how can you be a demon!"

"I don't believe it either, but it's true! I am not Aunt Mei's biological daughter, nor am I the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion. Sixteen years ago, Aunt Mei had a miscarriage and lost her child, and she was the one who brought me back to Xihou Mansion......"

Zhou Wentao, who has always been able to speak well and calmly, suddenly ran out of words.

He knew that Xia Yu never disdained to lie, but he was still too surprised by Xia Yu's background.

"Zhou Wentao, since you and Wen Qian lived in for a while, I have treated you as friends and family, and you are free. If my identity makes you feel embarrassed, you can also leave at any time and go where you want to go. ”

Xia Yu looked at him and raised a light smile sincerely, like a peach blossom on a branch in March, bright and moving.

"Embarrassed? I want to make myself feel in danger, because it's ...... I can leave Meizhuang with my sister and leave you with peace of mind! But...... After coming to this plum village, you ...... Mrs. still has a good green warp, but it makes me feel the warmth of the world again, so ...... I've always wanted to ...... you Treat you as a sister like Wen Qian! ”

Wen Qian is his own sister, wandering together and enduring hardships together, he should be good to Wen Qian. However, his feelings about Xia Yu were different, and the reason why he said that was because he didn't want to put the relationship between the two in an awkward situation.

Don't want to...... It has nothing to do with what she has.

Zhou Wentao knew that Xia Yu meant that he could leave Meizhuang freely, after all, with his current status, there was no need to nest in this house on the outskirts of the city.

But how could he leave?

How reluctant to leave.

Since he came to Meizhuang, his life has been so full and happy......

Therefore, no matter what the relationship is, whether it is a brother or a person who has been with him all his life, as long as he can see her often and accompany her, even if it is just to see her lying on this violet stand from a distance and rest for a while, he feels very satisfied.

I have been complaining, feeling that my fate is unfair, and I have no talent in my life but I have no way to serve the country, and I am buried by the world. For the sake of power and wealth, he has been working hard, and even delusionally wants to use Xia Yu to rise to the top.

However, now that he has got everything he wants, he knows that as long as he can watch her smile and be by her side, it is the happiest thing in his life.

"Xia Yu" Zhou Wentao shook his head lightly, smiled slightly, and stepped forward slowly, "Try to chase what you want, I, Zhou Wentao, will always support you!" You don't care where you are in the future, I will take good care of Meizhuang for you and take care of Luqiao. However, you also remember that if one day you are tired and need to rest, don't forget that you still have a home. ”

"Thank you." Xia Yu nodded heavily, his nose was a little sour, and his eyes were a little red: "You will always be my family!" ”

"Family is a must, of course - if you don't find your lover one day, don't forget that I'm still waiting for you to come back." Zhou Wentao said, laughing teasingly, this smile broke the embarrassing atmosphere of his beloved, but no one knew how sad his heart was at this moment.

The heart is slowly becoming clear, Xia Yu's identity and bloodline are destined to be ordinary in this life. This small plum village, a small Tiancheng, how can she fly freely, she should be free as the wind, free and uninhibited.

"It's getting late, let's rest early." After Zhou Wentao finished speaking, he slowly turned around and walked out of the small courtyard. Xia Yu raised his head, couldn't help but look at the bright moon in the sky again, and then walked towards the house.

******

"In the middle of the night, you have been chatting with others in the yard for so long, and it seems that you are not sleepy."

Xia Yu returned to the room, it was already late at night, but the little fart child did not sleep. At this moment, he was lying on the bed, and one person occupied the whole big bed, glaring at him with a little emotion.

Dragging her tired body, Xia Yu walked towards him, sleepiness hit, and in the past few days, in order to help the general and Zhou Wentao deal with the affairs of the Taishou Mansion, she ran back and forth to the frontier, she was already too tired to do anything, and she wanted to rest.

Looking at her with a tired face, she was still depressed, but seeing her so listless, she couldn't get out even if she was angry.

She seemed tired and sleepy.

However, why is she already collapsed on the big bed, but she still has a pair of eyes open and does not sleep?!

"What are you thinking?" Remembrance slowly sat down at her, looking down at her.

On his little face, there was worry. Because of the head down, a long strand of long hair swept to her face, gently, itchyly.

The eyelashes trembled slightly, Xia Yu blinked, and then asked him with a slight frown: "Remember, you told me last time that although fate is destined, the god of destiny who guards the wheel of fate can't change some destined things." So, in life, why are so many people trying to control the fate of others in ......?! ”

Remembering listening to her words, she was stunned at first, as if she felt that Xia Yu was a little unbelievable when she said such a thing.
