Chapter 169: A Late-Night Conversation Between Mother and Son
Because Xie Zhan was resting from the 25th to the 30th, he didn't have anything to be busy with, so he stayed in Qinxin Garden all day, until night fell, Mu Yi personally came to bombard people, and he turned around and left reluctantly.
It's already late when I get home, and the Duchess of the Protector has already gone to bed at this time, but today the Protector's Mansion is lit with candles.
The Duchess of the Protector was still awake.
Xie Zhan didn't know what the Duchess of the Protector was doing, but out of courtesy, he still went to greet the Duchess of the Protector.
When she entered the living room of the main house, the Duchess of the Protector was already dozing off with her head propped up, again and again, and the last one was almost planted, but fortunately, the maid Xiaoxiang had been paying attention to the situation of the Duchess of the Protector, and when the Duchess of the Protector was about to be planted, she quickly held her up.
The Duchess of Huguo opened her eyes in a daze, closed her eyes and came back to her senses after seeing Xiaoxiang, and asked, "Hasn't the prince come back yet?" ”
Xiaoxiang glanced at Xie Zhan and said, "Mrs. Hui, the prince is back, come and say hello to you." ”
"Is he finally willing to come back?" The voice of the Duchess of the Protector suddenly increased, and the sleepiness dissipated.
She simply straightened her hair, sat down in the main seat, looked down at Xie Zhan, and said coldly: "Son, you still know to come back!" ”
Xie Zhan was helpless and said, "Mother, where does the title of this son of evil come from?" ”
He's been doing well lately! Not rebellious at all!
"Where did it come from?" The Duchess of the Protector laughed angrily and said, "It's rare to take a day off, you are not at home with your elderly mother, and you are bent on sticking into the fragrance of the beautiful shadow, and you also ask where the title of mother comes from?" Nature comes from your unfilial behavior! Why, in the eyes of your Xie Shizi, the lady of the beautiful shadow is far more noble than your mother? ”
"What is this?" Xie Zhan was helpless, "You have your father by your side, why do you need me to accompany you in this way?" ”
"You mean your father can be my son?" The Duchess of the Protector looked at him.
Xie Zhan: "......" He didn't say, it has nothing to do with him!
"Zhan'er, my mother knows that you like Xin Muyuan, but Zhan'er, do you really know Xin Muyuan? Do you really know who she is? ”
The Duchess of the Protector sighed and decided to have a motherly and tender exchange with her son. She has already seen the results of the things she did before, and forcing this set is of no use to her son, and it will even cause him to rebel.
The last time Xie Zhan ran away from home, it really scared her. This time, she was worried that no matter how tough she did, Xie Zhan would really never come back.
Xie Zhan didn't know, she thought that her mother was finally willing to let go of her dislike for Xin Muyuan and start trying to understand this person. He thought that the Duchess of Huguo was just worried that he thought he didn't know Xin Muyuan's personality and was deceived.
So he said happily: "Mother, don't worry, I know Xin Muyuan better than anyone else." She is kind, playful ......"
When it comes to Xin Muyuan, this little-spoken prince is like pressing the mechanism to open the chatterbox, and his mouth can't stop at all.
What is as noble as the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains, such as the mountain stream and the orchid, what the moonlit night fairy, the hibiscus flower god, Xie Zhan can't wait to praise Xin Muyuan so that the world can't tolerate her.
The Duchess of the Protector held her forehead and sighed helplessly.
She couldn't tell whether her son's talk was good or bad.
"But last time in Tianling Mountain, you also heard that Xin Muyuan killed someone." The Duchess of the Protector said lightly.
Her voice was not loud, but it accurately entered Xie Zhan's ears, and Xie Zhan's excited voice stopped abruptly.
Xie Zhan looked at her quietly, was silent for a few seconds, seemed to be holding back some emotions, and said, "Yes, I heard it." ”
"Hear you...... Son, don't you think this girl is terrible? Look at it so weak, but how can you go down so ruthlessly! Today she killed the bandits, how do you know that she won't be tomorrow...... Son, there are thousands of women in this world, gentle and virtuous, independent and strong, you can find any mother you want, but why did you just identify her? ”
Xie Zhan's throat moved, and said: "Yes, mother, what you said is right, there are thousands of women in the world, all kinds of women, and I believe that as long as you are willing, you can find any kind of woman for your son." But...... Mother, can you find another Xin Mu Yuan for your son? ”
Xie Zhan raised his eyes and looked directly into the eyes of the Duchess of Huguo, and said, "She is the only woman in this world, you can find a similar type, but you can't find another her." ”
The voice is cool, and the eyes are merciless.
"As for the murder you are talking about...... Mother, to tell you the truth, I know that she has the guts to kill, and she has always known it. ”
The Duchess of the Protector shook her body and looked at Xie Zhan in shock. For a while, it was difficult for her to accept this matter.
"You've always known that...... What is the meaning? The Duchess didn't dare to guess.
Why did he always know that Xin Muyuan had killed more than one person? Moreover, Xie Zhan even saw her kill with his own eyes?
The Duchess of the Protector's speculation gave her a creep.
Xie Zhan avoided this question and asked her rhetorically: "Mother, don't you care why Mu Yuan killed people at that time?" Don't you wonder what happened to force such a weak woman to kill a man at all risk? ”
The memory of being forcibly sealed was torn apart, and the ferocious scene of that day made her tremble when she remembered it to this day. Originally, Xin Muyuan didn't want to do it, it was the man......
But she couldn't say.
"Whatever it was for, she killed someone after all."
"Shouldn't that man be killed?"
The man who had been raised by the Duchess of the Protector stared at her intently, his dark eyes like an abyss that he couldn't look through.
In front of him, all the secrets became transparent, and all the secrets could be seen through at a glance.
At this moment, the Duchess of the Protector became afraid of her son.
"Zhan'er, what are you talking about? I've never taught you that. The Duchess of the Protector said.
Xie Zhan's dark eyes did not waver, and he still stared intently at the Duchess of the Protector, and said, "You haven't taught your son like this, but is there something wrong with this question?" If it weren't for pushing a woman into a hurry, why would she do such a dangerous thing? ”
"You're just hooked on her right now, no matter what she does, it's right!"
"So what? Mother, you only saw that person dead, why didn't you see Xin Muyuan's thoughtful person who didn't even know whether the other party was dead or alive? She had to be so panicked and scared that she didn't even have time to check on the people's situation, and only hurriedly sent someone to inspect it when she returned to the camp. ”
