Duchess Huguo didn't speak, and Xie Zhan continued: "Even in this situation, she still hasn't forgotten to take you away. That day, I saw the strip of cloth under the bed, there were two soaked marks on it, I don't know whether it was Mu Yuan's tears or your tears, but I could see that the strip of cloth was used to blindfold my eyes, right? ”

The body of the Duchess of the Protector trembled suddenly, guilt and panic surged, and the cold sweat on her forehead was dense. The sound of swinging and the tragic plea for mercy still sounded in his ears.

Her eyes were covered with a cloth, so she could not see the tragic situation of that day, but later she heard from the soldiers in the army that there was a bloody dress in Xin Muyuan's room, and the Lord Protector ordered it to be burned, and hid this matter in his heart.

Xie Zhan's voice was full of ridicule and disappointment, and he shook his head and said, "Mother, I really didn't expect that one day you would fall into the trap for your life-saving benefactor." Mother, have you forgotten that she could not have been a murderer in the first place. ”

The Duchess Protector's body trembled even more, and tears welled up in her eyes. It's just that these tears don't come from guilt, but from being shocked that Xie Zhan would say such a thing to her!

The son she raised herself, unexpectedly saw blood at the hands of an outsider who blamed her for harming! Anger and guilt swirled back and forth in her mind, forcing her to dizzy and her eyes dark, and suddenly, her body stiffened and she fainted.

"Madame!" Xiao Xiang was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to help, Xie Zhan was also startled, and ran over with a shout of "mother".

On the branches of the moon, chickens and dogs are jumping in the Protector's Mansion, and the noise is constant.

This matter soon reached Huai'an's ears in the palace, and he immediately came to the Protector's Mansion with a panicked look, sat at the head of the bed of the Duchess of Protector with red eyes, and said angrily: "Cousin Zhan is too much this time!" You're his real mother! No matter what the reason is, he can't be so angry with you! ”

The Duchess of the Protector waved her hand and sighed: "The child has grown up and already has his own ideas and ideas, and I have a lot of trouble. ”

Huai'an took her hand, so aggrieved that he even cried in his voice, and said, "What if you grow up?" Even if he grows up to seventy or eighty, isn't he still a child in your heart? Could it be that when he grows up, he doesn't want you as a mother? ”

The Duchess of the Protector laughed and said, "Where is it so serious? ”

Huai'an sobbed: "Cousin Zhan has really been getting more and more excessively recently, and his words and deeds are not in order, so why do you forget how to write the word filial piety now?" I really don't know what's wrong with Cousin Zhan, I don't know him anymore, he was clearly not like this before! ”

Huai'an's complaint made the Duchess of Huguo fall into deep thought.

She felt that what Huai'an said was right, and Xie Zhan was not like this before.

In the past, Xie Zhan, although he was cold and arrogant, had less fireworks on his body, and did not talk as much as he does now, but he had rules and regulations, and he could be called a model for the entire imperial capital to learn.

There is even a gentleman in a private school who takes Xie Zhan as an example to let the children know the fate of indulging in beauty, and the person who is regarded as a model teaching material does not know about this matter at all, and still happily pursues his love every day.

When did his son become like this? It seems that it was from that day that Mrs. Luo's birthday, he sent the emperor back to the palace, and after he came back, he seemed to be a different person, from disgusting Xin Muyuan to chasing Xin Muyuan, trying every means to squeeze his head to make Xin Muyuan notice him, and even later he did not hesitate to change his appearance into water and even mixed into Qinxin Garden to serve Xin Muyuan as a nurse.

Such an arrogant person is willing to do such a lowly thing, just to see Xin Muyuan and be able to get closer to him, why is this?

The Duchess of Huguo thought about it, but she still felt that it was the reason why Xin Muyuan and her son met by chance that day.

On that day, she wore a noble flowing gold brocade and a simple hair ornament, but she was like a fairy walking among the clouds, noble and elegant.

Even those of them who looked down on Xin Muyuan extremely were fascinated for a while, attracting their attention, not to mention Xie Zhan, a young man of twenty years? The appearance of Xin Muyuan that day may have shocked his soul even more.

The Duchess of the Protector suddenly realized, thinking that she had finally found the reason why Xie Zhan was attracted to Xin Muyuan, she gritted her teeth with hatred, and said: "I see, this damn Xin Muyuan, such a deep scheming, has been calculating my son since the time of the Protector Mansion!" ”

At this time, if Xin Muyuan is here, there must be a question mark in his head.

At that time, she was just going out and it was a formal occasion, so she was dressed a little more formally, nothing more, and she didn't think about giving Xie Zhan a strong visual difference, so as to make him interested in herself.

Xie Zhan is not that kind of person.

Resentment replaced guilt, and the Duchess of Huguo felt that it was a matter of course for Xin Muyuan to save herself, and she calculated her son and should be good to her old mother.

Maybe she didn't really want to save herself, but just because she felt guilty and wanted to do something to make up for it.

But...... Is it too late?

The Duchess of the Protector felt that it was too late.

Huai'an observed the changing expressions of the Duchess of Huguo on the side, and finally firmed up, and understood that Xin Muyuan's sincerity was the wrong person.

Perhaps the Duchess Protector was kind and principled, but now it seems that she is also selfish and self-interested.

The Duchess of Huguo decided to talk to Xin Muyuan for the last time. Before leaving, she confirmed that Xie Zhan was confined by the public relations of the protector, and copied filial piety three hundred times.

At this time, Xin Muyuan didn't know that the Duchess of the Protector, who had not yet recovered, would come to talk to her, and walked around the courtyard, thinking about whether to visit the Duchess of the Protector.

If you go by yourself, will it seem that you are too well-informed, but if you don't go, is it a little inappropriate?

She had forgotten that even if she went to visit, she would not have the identity to visit.

was struggling, when he saw Steward Zhang running over in a hurry, a little annoyed and a little impatient, and said, "Boss, the Duchess of Huguo and Princess Huai'an are here!" ”

"Again?" Xin Muyuan felt an incomparably headache.

She couldn't remember how many times it was, so she waved her hand and said helplessly, "That's it, invite them in." ”

But...... It seems that she doesn't need to be invited, and the Duchess of the Protector has already been carried in by Huai'an.

Xin Muyuan looked at them and was stunned for a moment, the fire gushed out like a volcanic eruption, and angrily bypassed Steward Zhang and blocked the door directly: "Two, are you in the wrong place?" ”
