"Besides, I won't give you anything to eat." She said.

Dunhuang Yile said: "I will tell you this, let Mu Zhi know, and you will also drive me away." The two of you are also funny, obviously neither of you let go of the other, and neither of you will take this step first. Jingyi, do you really think you can take Nan Nan away? Do you really think that Nan Nan first followed her father and then her mother, and you said that it was all for her good, which is good? If you think so, you might as well hand it over to the shepherd's belt. The two of you, he married another, you married another, and both were born in peace. ”

Jing Yi frowned, and her face darkened.

Xiao Dunhuang coughed and said, "In this way, I also have a chance." ”

Jingyi almost took chopsticks to knock Dunhuangda.

Xiao Dunhuang couldn't stop laughing, and Jingyi also laughed...... Laughing and laughing, they are all a little embarrassed.

"I always regret it when I think about it all these years, and I'm afraid that I won't have the opportunity to talk to you in person. It was so chaotic at the time, I had a misunderstanding of you. It's just too late to break it down with you face to face. "Dunhuang said He.

Jingyi looked at him and whispered, "You still believe me." ”

Dunhuang smiled and said, "I have to believe it." ”

Jingyi nodded.

She heard the car outside and asked, "Is anyone coming?" ”

The housekeeper went out to see, and after a while, he came back and said, "It is said that Commander Tao's family is a member of the family, and Mr. knows." ”

Jing Yi was startled, and the person had already stood up.

"Shall I recuse myself?" When he heard that it was Commander Tao's family, he already knew it.

Jingyi shook her head and said, "No need. Come out with me. As she spoke, she put the napkin on the table, and before going out, she looked in front of the mirror, straightened her hair, and walked out with determination.

In the living room stood a middle-aged woman in a long rose gray coat, and on the sofa sat a dignified and majestic old woman.

The middle-aged woman turned around, saw Jingyi, and also saw Xiao Dunhuang who walked out with Jingyi, and smiled: "It turns out that General Xiao is also here." ”

"Aunt Tao, Mrs. Fu." Xiao Dunhuang just greeted and stood aside.

Mrs. Tao sat there in a black cheongsam covered with a lynx fur coat, and her majesty was not diminished.

"Madame, Miss." Jingyi spoke.

Tao Er'an raised her eyebrows, and was about to speak, but Mrs. Tao stopped her: "Er'an, you sit down." ”

Tau'an sat down.

Xiao Dunhuang excused himself to go to the bathroom, but he avoided it.

Jingyi was grateful for his understanding.

In the face of the Tao family's mother and daughter, she has never been easy. What's more, I haven't seen it for many years, and the grievances accumulated at that time are probably only deeper today.

She sat down, waited for the maid to bring the tea, and asked, "Madam, eldest lady, if you have any advice for today, please feel free to speak." ”

Mrs. Tao said: "It is said that you are no longer from my Tao family, so it is very rude to come so uninvited." But how many years have you been the daughter-in-law of the Tao family, I might as well make it clear to you face to face if I have something to say. ”

"Tell me. Jing Yi listened. Jingyi said.

Mrs. Tao took a sip of tea. It seemed to be an attempt to calm her down.

"I heard you want to take Suixin away?" Mrs. Tao asked.

Jingyi nodded and said, "Yes." I've already talked to her father. Legally, I also have the right to fight for my rights. Besides, we also had an agreement at the beginning......"

"How can you do that?" Mrs. Tao asked.

Jingyi looked at her and said, "Madam, I am Suixin's biological mother. ”

"It's good to follow us. You have left us the fulfillment of your infant heart, and you have cut us in two. We took good care of her, and now that you are back to take Suixin away, what kind of heart do you have? Madame Tao tried to be as calm as possible.

"Madam, in the current situation, it would be better for her to follow me. I promise that her relationship with the Tao family will not be broken. Her blood ties with you will never be severed. ”

"You're talking so lightly. Depending on the situation, the Tao family will not even be able to keep their children. You died of this heart before it was too late. With me for a day, there is no possibility that you will be able to take your heart away - what can you give her? Mrs. Tao asked Jingyi unceremoniously, "If you can't even give her a complete family, how can you disrupt the child's life?" ”

"Madame......"

"Jingyi, I heard that you are still alone. Back in Shanghai, there are many suitors. You are still at a good age, and you don't have to worry about a good home. With a happy heart, it is inconvenient for you. Mrs. Tao's tone softened. Her gaze glanced at Jing Yi's fingers, cold.

Jing Yi was silent.

Mrs. Tao hasn't changed at all, she is still so harsh, and her criticism is still so merciless...... This time, for the sake of satisfaction, she couldn't give in.

Mrs. Tao said, "If you insist on going to court, then we'll try." Of course, I also know that the Cheng family is no longer as good as it was back then. It may not be our advantage to go to court. But you also have to know that the Tao family has never lost people or battles. ”

"Madame, I must explain it to you. This time, I just need to recognize my heart, and I don't want anything else. Jingyi emphasized.

Tao Er'an was silent beside her, and at this time she looked at Jingyi, turned her face to Mrs. Tao and said, "Mother, it's okay, we should go." She said as she stood up.

Jingyi saw that Mrs. Tao also got up, so she got up and said, "Madam, eldest lady, go slowly." ”

Tao Eran looked at Jingyi with a somewhat complicated expression. Jingyi saw it. This aunt of the Tao family has almost never had such a look in front of her - there is nothing wrong, it is really difficult to reach Tao Er'an - but at this time it seems that Tao An is a little worried. This made Jingyi feel extraordinary.

Tao Eran walked to the door and said, "To be a mother of the heart again, it is not as simple as you think. ”

"Er'an." Mrs. Tao walked in front, and when she heard Tao Er'an say this, she turned around and stopped.

"Mother, please let me finish my sentence. Since Jingyi has this attitude, she should know this. Tao Eran ignored his mother's warning, and turned to Jingyi: "We oppose you taking Suixin, mainly for the sake of Suixin. This kid has a strange temper. Too smart, too stubborn, and too sensitive. Lao Qi loves her, and she always has to be taken into account in everything, so she is even more spoiled and a little lawless. To be his wife, she must be able to be a willing mother. I don't know you yet; Seeing that you are so resolute, we can't hide it from her for a few days, but we don't know what things will develop after she knows. The old lady loves face and won't tell you this. But I think it's better for you to know about these things earlier. ”

"Thank you, Miss. I don't want to hurt anyone anymore. Even with the pastor, after so many years, we can talk about things calmly with each other, and there is no deliberate difficulty. It is even more impossible for me to embarrass him and the Tao family with my heart. I came back just because I was worried. Jing Yi spoke earnestly.

She knew this, not only Er'an in front of her was listening, but Mrs. Tao was also listening. She must make her position and attitude clear as early as possible. There can be no more misunderstandings.

Sure enough, Er'an listened, looked at Jingyi intently, and nodded.

"Jingyi, I am Suixin's aunt, I love her, no less than any aunt, and not necessarily less than you, a mother. After all, now I don't care who is the wife of the seventh child - whoever does it must truly love and respect him; Whoever does it has to be a good mother. Therefore, I have no objection to you returning to the Tao family, as long as it is good for Sui Xin and good for Lao Qi. After all, you have lived with Lao Qi, and you are the biological mother of Suixin. What's more, when the two of you were so troubled that you wanted to divorce, I always disapproved of it. My words, you think carefully. The old lady's temper is still like that. Seeing you like this will inevitably be *** in the eyes of outsiders. But you understand that human beings are not about flesh and blood, and this cannot be the case. I didn't stop her, I also wanted to come and meet you and say a few words to your face. Thank you for your patience and willingness to listen to us. If there is any offense, please bear with me. Tauran said.

Jingyi shook her head and said, "No, Miss." I also thank you for being honest and honest. ”

"Then we won't delay you. Know you're busy. Take care. Eran said.

"Thank you. Walking. Jingyi said.

Tauran, her former sister-in-law. It's still so vigorous.

"Er'an." Mrs. Tao spoke.

"Here we are." Er'an smiled at Jingyi, "Let's go." ”

She helped Mrs. Tao into the car.

Mrs. Tao was obviously angry with her daughter. However, Tauran was always good at dealing with her mother's anger, and she asked her mother to get in the car and leave.

Jing Yi was upset by Tao Er'an's words. As soon as she waited for the car to leave, she remembered that Dunhuang was still here, and turned around and entered. Xiao Dunhuang had already returned to the restaurant, eating and waiting for her.

"It's good that I won't be there soon, otherwise I'll starve to death." Dunhuang complained.

Jingyi sat down and took a sip of wine.

"It seems that Mrs. Fu has no objection to you going back to the Tao family." Xiao Dunhuang said.

"You eavesdrop." Jingyi frowned.

"I'm eavesdropping, so what are you listening to me talking to Zhishen last night?" Dunhuang did not spare her.

Jing Yi stammered. quarreled with Dunhuang and Danhuang, she never won the fight.

Mrs. Fu's words are not unreasonable...... Where is there anything that cannot be resolved between you and the shepherd? It's because of outsiders, most of them are also misunderstandings. Deng Dunhuang said.

Jingyi was stunned for a moment.

"Think about it." Xiao Dunhuang said.

"Why are you thinking about letting me go back to Tao's house, and that one is thinking about letting me go back to Cheng's house...... I am myself. Jingyi's tone was a little anxious, like a child who had been wronged and was eager to confess.

Xiao Dunhuang laughed and said, "Okay, good." You are yourself. You have always been yourself. Aren't you yourself by Makiyuki's side? Who is more indulgent than him? ”

Jing Yi stared at Dunhuang.

After Dunhuang's words, he also felt a little excessive. However, not to mention that it has already been said, he looked at Jingyi with a smile and said, "There is no one who indulges you more than him, but there is a ...... who is slightly less indulgent than him" He pointed to himself.

Jingyi laughed out loud when he was angry.

Xiao Dunhuang sighed and said, "There is a Tao Muzhi in front of you, and you can't even look at him who is a little shorter." ”

"Don't talk about him...... Tell me about your heart. Jingyi said.

"Where to start?" Xiao Dunhuang asked.

"Wherever you want to go, you can say it. Everything about her, I want to know. Jingyi replied.

"You already know everything you need to know, right?" Dunhuang asked again.

Jingyi was silent.

She was a little embarrassed, and finally shook her head.

Over the years, all her "knowing" has been limited to flawless and innocent words...... Even this pitiful news, she didn't dare to read and listen to more. I'm afraid that I won't be able to survive the day when I want to see you again. Although being able to see her daughter again decently is her only belief.

"You are so concerned about your heart, you should let Mu Zhi know. It's better for him to tell you about the things that make you want to do it later. Deng Dunhuang said.

Jingyi looked at him and didn't say anything.

Dunhuang began to say some things that pleased him piecemeal. It's very fragmented, like shells on the beach, pushed by the tide, and a few come out......

They went to the living room and sat down. After chatting for a long time, it was all Dunhuang talking, and Jingyi listened.

Jingyi poured a glass of whiskey for Dunhuang and also poured herself a glass.

Xiao Dunhuang looked at her and said, "You didn't drink so fiercely before. ”

"Sometimes this stuff gives me courage." Jingyi took the cup and touched the cup with Dunhuang. She drank the whiskey down, "I must make Suixin accept me." ”

Her cheeks were crimson and her eyes were shining.

Dunhuang smiled.

In the Confucian Mansion on Yuyuan Road, Zhao Wufang and Zhao Wujian were hugged downstairs by their children and servants, and Cheng Jingyi, who stayed here last night, had already helped prepare early.

Jingyi wore white sportswear and got up early to play tennis with her cousin-in-law Kong Yuanxuan for an hour. Kong Yuanxuan went out to work early, she saw that the time was about the same, and it was time for her cousin and children to get up, so she went into the kitchen to help.

Flawless and Unsullied looked at Jing Yi who was concentrating on making coffee for the two of them—she looked pretty good, but her eyes were dark and she was obviously sleep-deprived—Jing Yi held up her glasses, took the coffee pot and poured the coffee, and looked at the tin box that Flawless and Innocent had placed in her seat when they entered the door, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Immaculate glanced at Flawless, and Flawless pushed the box to Jingyi's side, saying, "Didn't you say you wanted to know more about Suixin?" Open it up and take a look – it's full of heartfelt photos. ”

Jingyi lowered her eyes and poured a full cup of coffee.

She took the iron box and placed it in front of her.

When the nannies had taken away all the children after eating, she saw her cousins, who had been talking to them late into the night last night, and they were so tired that they went into the children's room, hugged their baby and fell asleep, only she tossed and turned in front of an empty room.

"I said so much last night, in short, Westerners can become friends when they are separated, although some people practice it now, after all, it is rare. When you left the Tao family, your heart was still small, and you were also in Lanzhou, and we couldn't see it. Later, Mu Zhi was transferred, and Mrs. Tao came with a happy heart, also so that their father and daughter would not always be far apart. She is so opposed, Mu Zhi is still very generous, and she has not stopped us from seeing our hearts in the past few years. Although it is not unkind for us to strictly prohibit us from revealing your information. Flawless said.

Flawless took the coffee, and seeing that Jingyi didn't mean to stop her from speaking, he said, "For Suixin, you are a mother who has left. Muzhi didn't lie to Suixin that you were dead, nor did he say anything bad about you. Sui Xin asked when she was a child why her mother was gone. How did Makiyuki explain it to her? Let Suixin think that you are a mother who has a stomachache and lost her doll......"

Jingyi inhaled.

Then I asked her, is it because of a stomachache that I lost the little doll?

For her, how did she, her mother, lose her?

However, is it so easy to conceal it?

"Don't worry too much. As you might expect, you're going to get a little rusty with her at first. But a child is a child after all, as long as you treat her well, over time, she will accept you. I think about it, Muzhi's biggest concern is always what to think about it. Flawless persuasion Jingyi.

Jing Yi was silent. I didn't open the tin box. She just looked at the patterns on the tin box, the paintings, the castle by the water...... She asked softly, "Suixin, don't you miss your mother at all now?" ”

Seeing that Sui Xin treated Qiu Wei so affectionately, she was almost jealous of Qiu Wei. Although she knew in her heart that Qiu Wei must be very good to Suixin, she would rely on Qiu Wei so much.

Seeing Jingyi say this, Wujian sighed and said, "How could you not want to." Just don't talk about it. Sui's heart looks like you, and his temperament is like Muzhi. ”

Jingyi opened the tin box.

As soon as the lid opened, a full pile of photos popped up.

But she didn't dare to get any of them.

Wujian picked up the photo that fell on the ground for her and put it in her hand - it was a photo of her first birthday. A few strong words below the photo, so I took a photo on the first birthday...... Jingyi held it in the palm of his hand.

"On the day I caught Zhou, I caught a scalpel." Innocent said with a smile.

Jingyi looked up at her.

"It's small. I don't know where Makiyuki got it. No one paid attention to it beforehand, how could such a small thing be grabbed by small hands? I just caught it. You know what it was like, right? It's just that few people present at the time knew what it was, and they only thought that the young lady of the Tao family was normal to dance with knives and guns. Qiu Wei told me this. She said that her tears were about to flow...... "Wujian was a little embarrassed.

Jingyi smiled.

"Third cousin, it's hard for you all these years." She said.

Innocent look at her.

"I see......" Jingyi lowered her head.

The heart in the photo is only one year old...... When she left, her heart was not so big. In her mind, it was like that time for many years.

White and chubby, lotus root doll-like child.

"I've thought about telling you and you many times, but I haven't." Innocent understood. She reached over, put it on Jingyi's arm, looked at her, and said, "I think if I hide it from you like this, sooner or later you will know and blame me." ”

"Nope." Jingyi said.

It's just that my heart hurts.

I don't know that when I am in pain, I also bring a lot of pain to others. For her sake, they endured a lot of ...... that they shouldn't have endured She turned her eyes to look flawless. Reach out and hold the flawless hand as well.

"Thank you. Thanks to you. She said.

"It's just a good thing you're willing to accept our help." Flawless said.

Wujian hugged Jingyi and said, "Actually, what I want is that I am willing to always keep secrets for both of you, but I am willing to facilitate your wishes." Jingyi, I always hope that no matter what path you choose, it is your free will. ”

Jingyi nodded, "But I'm in a mess right now." ”

I don't know what to do.

"Maybe there's something else you should know." Flawless whispered.

Jingyi looked at her.

"Let's go to Nanjing to meet my uncle. Even if it's just to visit him. Jingyi, my uncle is old. You are his favorite daughter......" Flawless said, a little emotional, "He has never mentioned you all these years, just like you have never mentioned Suixin and Muzhi - why, you think." We don't make any decisions or judgments for you. ”

Innocent with a nod. Then, she pulled out one from the pile of photos and put it in Jingyi's hand.

She said: "Far away and careful, let people take this picture." It's just that carelessness is also him, and the negatives are gone. So there is only one photo in the world...... I'm keeping it carefully, thinking I'll show it to you one day. I think of you more, and I think of herding more. No. 6 Nagis Fil Road, or the old lady found someone to design and build it, not to mention how much money was spent on it, and it always took a lot of time...... Yuan Xuan said that there was nothing good about it except for the big one, and he only liked the garden, but there were more flowers and trees. You should remember that the ball was held for you that year, and that was there...... Because the old lady came to them, there were more people, and in order to make it easier to find a place to live, Yuan Yu transferred No. 6 to him......"

Jingyi lowered her head.

She'd been there and knew nothing had changed there.

She held the photograph in her hand, her heart pounding.

Flawless looked at her and smiled.

"Makiyuki came here when he had time, and he stayed there. We moved here instead. Anyway, we are a small family, so everything is fine. Makiyuki likes No. 6, and we are happy when we are happy to grow there...... The person who is the paste, you look cold, in fact, sometimes there are other times. Once, when we went to see Suixin at home, we found everyone laughing when we entered the door. Innocent said with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Flawless asked.
