The restaurant was still lively, and as soon as Su Qiange entered the door, many acquaintances greeted her.

"Boss Su is back? What new dishes did you bring back this time? ”

"Stay tuned." Su Qiange smiled mysteriously.

"Okay, then we'll wait for Boss Su's new dishes."

"Okay."

Su Qiange looked around inside and outside the restaurant and found that everything was as before, so he was completely relieved.

Before leaving, Su Qiange brought the account book, and Xue Chen couldn't help but nod on her forehead when she saw her carefully looking through the account book, "Ge'er, you are really a little money fan." ”

Su Qiange nodded undeniably, isn't opening a restaurant just to make money.

"Let's go, go to the prison." Su Qiange put away the account book and took the lead to walk out the door.

Xue Chen followed behind Su Qiange, shaking his head helplessly, it seemed that as long as it was related to the account book, Su Qiange was very happy, I hope her mood will not be affected for a while, Xue Chen thought so, and walked a few steps quickly to take Su Qiange into his arms and get into the carriage together.

The prison is gloomy and heavy all the year round, and Su Qiange couldn't help frowning as soon as he stepped in, the smell in it was really a little unpleasant.

The sunlight shone in through the small window on the wall, leaving one point of light after another on the dirty ground, Su Qiange followed the point of light step by step, until the last point of light disappeared, and he arrived at Zuo Ye's cell.

Zuo Ye was so wicked that he was locked up in the deepest part of the prison, where no sunlight shone in, let alone light, and only the faint candlelight on the wall illuminated the cell.

Zuo Ye lay in the middle of the cell, his hair scattered over half of his face, because the air was cold, his clothes were a little damp, the ground was damp, and there were insects crawling around, but he still lay there, unaffected in the slightest.

"General Zuo!" Xue Chen shouted in a deep voice.

Zuo Ye turned his head, and when he saw that it was Xue Chen, he was not the slightest surprised, but seemed to have guessed it a long time ago.

"Little Hou Ye, this cell is not as good as your prison car, and I won't even lay a little hay, I can't stand it."

Zuo Ye sat up straight and twisted his waist, the ground was too hard, and he couldn't stand it after lying down for a while.

"Come on, bring a straw mat and two quilts here." Xue Chen commanded at the door.

The guard quickly brought the straw mat and helped him tidy up the cell, and Zuo Ye smashed it with satisfaction, "You are really similar to your father." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xue Chen's emotions were a little uncontrollable, and as soon as he grasped the railing of the cell, he retorted dissatisfiedly, "He is not my father, and I have no resemblance to him." ”

"Xue Chen, you're here today not just to talk about this, right?" Zuo Ye smiled indifferently, Xue Chen must have had doubts in his heart when he appeared here today, otherwise he wouldn't have to come here to express his anger.

"Zuo Ye, how much do you know about him?" Xue Chen didn't answer positively, but instead threw out another question.

Zuo Ye looked incomprehensible, "Who is he you talking about, your father?" I know everything, not just your father, but also your mother. ”

Zuo Ye's face was extremely terrifying by the dim candlelight, and Su Qiange subconsciously pulled Xue Chen back a few steps, and held his arm tightly.

"What do you know?" Xue Chen raised his hand to hold the hand that Su Qiange placed on his arm, giving her a silent comfort, his eyes still staring at Zuo Ye, as if he was going to stare him out of a hole.

"Do you believe me?" Zuo Ye put away the banter on his face, slowly stood up, and walked to a short distance in front of Xue Chen to stand still, his voice was a little pleading.

Xue Chen thought that he had mistaken that emotion, and just nodded, "Since I have come here, there is no reason not to believe, just tell me what you know." ”

For his father, Xue Chen only hated, he hated his father for killing his mother, hated him for making him lose his happiness at a young age, but even if he hated it to the core, Xue Chen always felt that he had something unspeakable, or rather, Xue Chen wanted to find a reason for himself to forgive his father.

"It's so good, in this way, it's not in vain for me to get acquainted with Brother Xue." Zuo Ye was very satisfied with Xue Chen's answer, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and sat back in place, that figure sitting, if you put a table and a fan in front of you, you will become the storyteller of Shiwu.

"Things have to start from more than twenty years ago......" Zuo Ye said slowly, and his memory was traced back to more than twenty years ago.

Xue Chen's father, Xue Dingshan, had not yet inherited the title of Marquis of Pingnan at that time, and because he was familiar with the art of war, he was regarded by the emperor as a general of soldiers and horses, and was ordered to go to Fanbang.

Xue Dingshan is young and vigorous and strong in martial arts, and he can be described as invincible on the battlefield, and no one can beat him.

On that day, he won a battle and met a woman named Blue Smoke on the battlefield.

The woman was gentle and lovely, sympathetic and caring, and Xue Dingshan quickly fell in love with her and married her home.

A year later, the old marquis died, Xue Dingshan inherited the throne, and Lan Yan'er also gave birth to a child, and that child was Xue Chen, who was standing here at this time.

I thought that a family of three could live happily, but who knew that later Fanbang came to commit a big crime, and he broke into the capital in one go.

Xue Dingshan led the golden captain to guard the city gate, because of his far-reaching strategy, Fanbang's army stayed outside the city gate for five whole days, and there was no way to attack the city.

After several days of consumption, Fanbang couldn't bear it at all, they had run out of ammunition and food, and they no longer had the strength to attack.

No matter how you look at it, this war against the epidemic, Fanbang is bound to lose.

But who knew that on the night of the sixth day, Lan Yan'er, together with Zuo Tang, the leader of the Golden Captain, and the secret guards who had been trained in the capital in those years, sneaked into the city gate, trying to quietly put the soldiers of Fanbang into the city.

"General Zuo, are you sure that Mrs. Hou did this?"

Xue Chen's hand holding Su Qiange was trembling, Su Qiange understood that he must have wanted to refute it, but he had to restrain his emotions because of the so-called trust.

"Miss Su doesn't know, that Lan Yan'er is the princess of Fanbang, and her encounter with Xue Dingshan has also been arranged a long time ago, and Zuo Tang was also successfully rebelled by her in those years and became a spy of Fanbang."

At the mention of Zuo Tang, a trace of distress flashed in Zuo Ye's eyes, he hated Lan Yan'er, but he also knew that the bigger mistake in this matter was Zuo Tang.

"So that night, what happened?" Compared with Zuo Ye's sudden emotions, Su Qiange was more interested in the development of things.

"Xue Dingshan's soldiers are strictly disciplined, even if Lan Yan'er is Mrs. Hou, she will not let her approach the city gate, and they will disturb Xue Dingshan, and the two of them will also be arrested."

Zuo Ye sighed, feeling sorry for Xue Dingshan, he never thought that the person next to his pillow was actually the princess of the enemy country and the enemy of the Great Cloud Country.

"So Schrödingshan killed my mother?" Xue Chen had tears in his eyes, and when he said this, his expression was more bitter, how could there be such a tortuous story behind this.

Zuo Ye shook his head, "It's true, but he is also here to protect you and protect the Hou Mansion!" ”

"To protect me? Oh, he's just for his identity as a marquis! At this time, Xue Chen has lost the ability to think, if the protagonist is someone else, he will definitely understand, but the person concerned is his parents, how can he not accept it.

"You kid, you really have no conscience." Zuo Ye stood up directly at Xue Chen's words, if Xue Chen hadn't been far away, he would have taken his brain apart to see what was in him.

"At that time, you were still young, you didn't have the ability to live independently, and Xue Dingshan was not good at officialdom, and he made a lot of enemies in the court, if he didn't do this, how could he keep the Hou Mansion. And how can I keep you? Do you know that your father was almost ready to die with your mother at that time, he loved your mother so much, if it wasn't for Da Yun and Hou Fu, how could he have done it. ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Ye's emotions were very excited, every time he thought of the scene at that time, he felt worthless for Xue Dingshan, obviously he was the one who was hurt the most, but in the end, he still took all the blame alone, and let his son misunderstand him for so many years.

"Killing his lover with his own hands, how big the blow should be, I really don't know how he survived all these years."

Zuo Ye shook his head and sighed, Xue Dingshan always hid his emotions, but he didn't know that this would only hurt more people.

The story changed too quickly, Su Qiange felt that her brain capacity could not keep up, she digested it for a long time before accepting Xue Dingshan's murder of his wife, how did she get here, it was completely different.

"Xue Chen, let's go back." Su Qiange realized that Xue Chen hadn't spoken for a long time, and the hand that had just held her to comfort her had already become cold.

Xue Chen nodded unconsciously, and let Su Qiange take him out of the prison.

Today's wind is very cold, Xue Chen hugged his body tightly with his hands, and still felt bitterly cold.

After coming out of the prison, Xue Chen did not take the carriage, but walked towards the Hou Mansion step by step, along the way, Xue Chen thought a lot, thought of his temper with Xue Dingshan when he was young and vigorous, thought of throwing the birthday gift he gave him out of the room, and thought of scolding him again and again for killing his mother.

After becoming an adult, Xue Chen also learned to hide his emotions, and his attitude towards Xue Dingshan changed from the previous noisy to the later ignorance, even if Xue Dingshan waited for him to go home late at night, he couldn't get a greeting from him.

I don't know how long I walked, until Xue Chen's originally shocked mood calmed down, and his originally angry face was replaced with bitterness.

The three words of Pingnan Houfu finally appeared in front of Xue Chen's eyes, he slowly stood in front of those four words, looking at the golden words shining in the sun, feeling extremely ironic.

"I used to not like to go home, my father was always waiting for me at the door, and he stood under this plaque, straightening his chest and looking serious."

Xue Chen pointed to the steps at the door, and slowly talked to Su Qiange about the past, "At that time, I hated him very much, every time he stood here, I felt that he was showing off his identity to me, and now that I think about it, maybe he is atoning for his sins." ”

Su Qiange gently held Xue Chen's hand and responded in a low voice, "The old marquis is not atoning for his sins, he is waiting for his son to come home, you see, aren't you coming back, the old marquis finally waited." ”

Su Qiange's words undoubtedly gave Xue Chen a lot of energy, he looked at the familiar position again, and his face changed to a respectful expression, "Father, I'm back, you have worked hard all these years." ”

Su Qiange could feel Xue Chen's trembling, she squeezed his hand hard, and looked at him with his eyes, "Old Marquis, I'm Su Qiange, I'm back, I'll help you take care of Xue Chen in the future." ”

Xue Chen was stunned, and then laughed again, "Ge'er, the old man has a lot of official authority, if you are like this, he will not let you in." ”

"If that's the case, then I'll have to have a good chat with the old marquis!" Su Qiange laughed out loud, Xue Chen's mood seemed to be good, so she was relieved.
