Chapter 222: Incomprehensible Behavior
Nangong Lan was not impressed by Luo Liuxi, and when she saw her so calm at this moment, she also bowed her head back.
Shu Xin saw that the two of them were calm and calmed down for a while, beckoned the two to sit down, thinking that they were going to talk alone, so he said, "Then you talk." He glanced at the two of them again and left the gazebo.
After Shu Xin left, the pavilion fell into silence, and the maid who was instructed by Shu Xin brought tea to the two of them, Nangong Lan was warm boiled water, and Luo Liu cherished mint tea.
The two sat face to face and were still silent, Luo Liuxi held the teacup calmly on the surface, but his heart was tumbling, and it was clear from the comfortable attitude that the man he was facing was the person back then.
She couldn't have imagined that person was like this, with clear eyebrows, extremely soft and elegant appearance, and a refined and gentle temperament, looking like an ordinary person, nor like a vicious person, is it really as Shu Xin said, was it not intentional that he was framed for poisoning back then?
Such a look and temperament on the other side can make people unconsciously ashamed of themselves in front of him, what kind of woman can't find such a man, why bother to do such a thing? It doesn't look like someone with that preference, either.
"Hello, my name is Nangong Lan, I'm really sorry for what happened back then." Nangong Lan was the first to break the silence, and today he felt much better, and he still spoke softly but was no longer as weak as the night before.
Nangong ...... Lan? Luo Liuxi's eyes widened in astonishment, and she raised her eyes to look at the person opposite in disbelief.
The surname Nangong is only exclusive to the Nangong family, unlike some small families, in addition to the family itself, there are many people who will also have that surname.
And Nangong Lan, a name that was once infinitely gorgeous, Luo Liuxi has also heard it. She never expected that one day, something like that would happen to her and Nangong Lan and meet like this in the pavilion in the afternoon sixteen years later.
Luo Liuxi's astonishment was only for a moment, Nangong Lan looked in his eyes and continued: "I know that apologies can't make up for the hurt I have done to you, I don't pray for your forgiveness, but I owe you an apology, and I feel that I need to tell you in person." β
Luo Liuxi tried to stabilize her tumbling feelings, and tried to look at Nangong Lan calmly and said, "I heard Xin'er say that she said that you were framed back then. β
"Hmm." Nangong Lan nodded and said, "Back then, I was poisoned, and I lost my mind and was sued. That's why they did something that was inferior to such a beast. Then a lot of things happened, and I didn't dare to disturb your life, and I didn't know that Xin'er was my daughter until a few days ago. Originally, I just wanted to see her with my own eyes. But after seeing her, I greedily wanted to recognize her. I'm so sorry. Confess before you agree. β
Luo Liuxi believed what Nangong Lan said, and with Nangong Lan's identity, I don't know how many women wanted to climb into his bed, regardless of their appearance. What kind of woman can't find him with his identity, so why should he bother with her......
Although there is no way to say forgiveness, the resentment and fear in my heart dissipate little by little after seeing this person and hearing what this person said, and the locked dark corners of my heart are slowly untied and illuminated into the light.
As for the latter apology, Luo Liuxi can also understand, so he said: "I understand your feelings, it's right to recognize you with Xin'er, after all, she is your biological daughter, over the years, Xin'er has suffered a lot, and she hasn't gotten a trace of father's love and ...... Mother's love, I'm sorry for her, I hope she can be well in the future. I hope you'll treat her better. β
"Hmm." Nangong Lan nodded, her face was full of tenderness and love, and he understood the comfortable situation and said: "I will, Xin'er is my only daughter, I will be good to her." β
"The only daughter?" Luo Liu looked at Nangong Lan in surprise.
"Hmm." Nangong Lan nodded calmly, thought for a while and said, "My health is not good, and I haven't married a wife or concubine all these years." β
Luo Liuxi was so shocked that she couldn't speak, with Nangong Lan's identity, it was not easy not to marry a wife and take a concubine, Luo Liuxi saw that Nangong Lan's face was indeed very pale, and people had to be thin abnormally. He said that he was not in good health, but that kind of big family would not delay marrying a wife and having children no matter how sick it was, and the more sick it was, wouldn't it be more important to marry more wives and concubines and leave heirs?
Luo Liuxi was puzzled in her heart, she knew that Nangong Lan would not lie to her, she really couldn't figure out Nangong Lan's behavior of not marrying a wife and taking a concubine.
Nangong Lan saw Luo Liuxi's doubts, and didn't want to explain more, but after thinking about it, she said, "My body ...... You can die at any time, so you don't want to delay anyone. "Although widows in this world can remarry, it is actually very difficult to marry out, and a big family like theirs is basically difficult to leave if they marry, if he is gone, the woman who marries him can only be widowed.
Besides, he doesn't have a favorite woman, and if he marries, he doesn't bother to cause trouble for himself, because he really doesn't have the energy to deal with it.
However, the real main reason is the one who is buried in the deepest part of his heart by him, and he never dares to touch it when he touches it.
Luo Liuxi was taken aback by Nangong Lan's words, she really couldn't see that Nangong Lan was so sick?
The two talked about something important again, and sat in the gazebo for an hour and a half before ending the conversation completely.
When Luo Liuxi came to find Shu Xin, Shu Xin was playing chess with Shu Kai in the courtyard of the West Courtyard, Shu Xin didn't know how to play Go, Shu Kai taught Shu Xin a few times or accepted incompetence, the two changed to a simple five-in-a-row, but it was such a simple chess, Shu Xin also lost to Shu Kai again and again, or in the case of often regretting chess.
When Luo Liuxi walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard Shu Xin's crisp and soft special voice: "Ahhhh Wait, wait, no, I was wrong in the previous step, and I was careless, so I'll change it. β
"Okay." Shu Kai is a good-tempered person, patient and extremely tolerant of Shuxin, even if Shu Xin even regrets chess, he is not angry or irritable, he is very happy to play chess with his sister, and he is very happy to make his sister very happy, no matter whether he loses or wins, as long as his sister has fun.
Even if the comfortable chess products will make the people who play chess with her very unhappy, Shu Kai is very happy.
"What are you playing?" Seeing that the two sisters and brothers got along so well, Luo Liuxi was very happy and relieved, and asked when she got closer to see that their chessboard was not like Go.
"Mother, you're here!" Shu Kai happily looked at Luo Liuxi and explained excitedly: "My sister and I are playing backgammon." β
"Backgammon?" Luo Liuxi hadn't heard of it, and asked suspiciously.
"Hmm." Shu Kai nodded: "My sister said that I saw the novel gameplay in the book. It's fun, do you want to play together? β
"Okay!" Luo Liuxi smiled first and nodded in response to Shu Kai, then looked at Shu Xin and said, "You ......" Luo Liuxi swallowed back the word "dad" on his lips, and smiled a little self-deprecating in his heart, he was able to recognize him as a comfortable father so quickly? Secretly exhaled a breath and continued: "He is waiting for you in the gazebo, he has something to say." β
"Hmm." Shu Xinzheng looked at the chessboard and didn't notice Luo Liuxi's pause, she nodded and stood up without moving, twisted the chess pieces in her hand and fiddled quickly on the chessboard, then clapped her hands with satisfaction, and smiled at Shu Kai and said, "Look, I won!" Ahaha......"
Shu Kai looked at the chessboard, only to see that Shu Xin had changed three pieces, and he simply connected the chess pieces blocked by him into a line, and the black line was down, looking at Shu Xin, who was smiling happily and proudly, he shook his head helplessly.
Shu Kai felt that his sister was really naΓ―ve sometimes, but if she could see her real smiling face, what did it matter if she was naΓ―ve, since this was the case, it didn't hurt to let her be a younger brother.
Finally won "unscrupulously", said goodbye to the two of them comfortably and went to the pavilion to find Nangong Lan. Looking at Luo Liuxi's relaxed appearance, it seems that the two of them have a good conversation, which makes Shu Xin's mood brighter, and her steps are a little brisker, and she doesn't know what Nangong Lan wants to say to her.
