"Everything has been settled...... The son also explained to them, and when it came to his degree, he was still the same as he used to be in the house. In the study, Song Zixi replied in a low voice.

Song Jinze stood in front of the window, looking at the lantern slowly rising outside, and was speechless for a long time.

Song Zixi waited for a while, and seeing that Song Jinze never spoke again, he said respectfully, "If the father has no other instructions, the son will retire first." With that, he arched his hand and went out.

But I heard Song Jinze ask in a deep voice, "Do you have ...... heart But you're blaming me? ”

Song Zixi was stunned.

He pursed his lips for a long time before bowing his head and saying, "If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing...... And if it weren't for the eldest lady's deliberate efforts to deliberately set up a situation for my mother to break, the tragedy that followed would not have happened...... The son is to blame, and he only blames the eldest lady for being incorruptible and shameless, forcing my biological mother to death. ”

Song Jinze sighed deeply, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "It's a pity that your eldest brother doesn't think so." ”

Song Zixi raised his head, looked at his father's old and gray face, and said in a low voice, "The eldest brother has a strong and tenacious temperament, and he would rather give in...... It's just that this kind of temperament is sometimes very easy to drill the horns...... If your father gives your eldest brother more time, and when he thinks it through, he will naturally understand you and won't blame you anymore. ”

Song Jinze smiled bitterly and sighed, "I know that you are a generous and benevolent child, if your eldest brother can have half of you......" He couldn't help but pause, and waved his hand happily, "That's it...... You've been busy all day today, so let's go down and rest first. ”

Song Zixi's eyes darkened almost invisibly, and he said respectfully, "Yes, my son is retiring." ”

…………………………

When Song Zixi came back from Song Jinze, he had just entered his courtyard and found that Shen Shuyan was already waiting at the door early.

"You're back?" The moment he saw him, Shen Shu's quiet face unconsciously swelled with a faint crampedness, and he smiled and saluted.

"Hmm." Song Zixi nodded, habitually stepped forward to take her hand, and said softly, "Waited for a long time?" ”

Shen Shuyan's heart was slightly relieved, revealing a heartfelt and relieved smile, "No...... I also heard that you are back, so I came out to see ......."

Song Zixi bowed slightly, and pulled her into the house, "I just went to see my father." ”

Shen Shuyan's expression paused slightly, pursed her lips and stopped talking, "Father, he ......"

"Father didn't say anything...... Song Zixi smiled bitterly, "but I can see that this incident hit him hard, as if the whole person was a few years older." ”

Shen Shuyan unconsciously showed a touch of shame on her face, and after a while, she said in a low voice, "My aunt did such a thing, and now even the concubine feels shameless to see you......" Her voice paused, and she struggled for a while before she choked up, "I just hope you don't get tired of the concubine ...... because of this"

"What stupidity is this?" Song Zixi frowned, and put his wife's hand into his palm, "The eldest lady was ...... You haven't even been born yet, so what does this have to do with you? He sighed lowly, hugged Shen Shuyan, and said abruptly, "Actually, until now, I feel like I've had all this like a dream......

"For as long as I can remember, it was the eldest lady who took care of me. For so many years, she has taken great care of me and treated me as if it were her own...... In my heart, she has long been like my own mother. ”

Shen Shuyan heard the helplessness and sadness in his tone, and couldn't help but reach out to hug him back, and said softly, "The concubine knows." "Passion

"But now...... Everything has changed. ”

"The eldest lady has become the murderer who forced my mother to death, and even my father ......" Song Zixi shook his head gloomily, "Yan'er, now don't say it's you, it's me...... I don't know how to deal with it. ”

Shen Shuyan listened silently, wrapped her arms around Song Zixi's waist in distress, and leaned quietly in his arms.

But I heard Song Zixi say in a deep voice, "But no matter how many wrong things the eldest lady has done, there is one thing, I am always grateful to her." ”

Shen Shuyan was stunned for a moment and raised her head blankly.

Song Zixi smiled softly and looked into her eyes, "I'm grateful to her...... Gave you to me. ”

Shen Shuyan's nose couldn't help but be sour, "Zixi ......"

"So you don't need to think about anything," Song Zixi stretched out his hand to pull a strand of her hair behind her ear, and said softly, "Since I promised to be good to you, it will be a lifetime thing...... It's not going to change. He paused and deliberately teased her, "Could it be because of my mother...... Do you regret marrying me? ”

Shen Shuyan hurriedly shook her head, "How could I regret it?" ”

She has been married into the Song family for many years, even if she doesn't mention the care of the Shen family and the love of the elders, just say that Song Zixi is gentle and considerate to her and takes care of the children, she has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Even if Song Zixun, who is praised by everyone, "Zhuyu is in front", she has never felt that her husband is worse than anyone else.

"In the concubine's body and mind, you are already the best." Shen Shuyan said seriously, "The best husband, the best father...... The concubine has never regretted it - and she will not regret it in the future. ”

As soon as the words came out, she herself felt a little embarrassed, her face couldn't help but get hot, and she said in a low voice, "As long as it's ...... As long as you don't get angry with your concubine body. ”

Song Zixi smiled and sighed, "Fool." He reached out and took her into his arms and whispered, "In my heart, you are the same." As he spoke, his slightly cool thin lips kissed Shen Shuyan's forehead.

Shen Shuyan closed his eyes with a red face, and he didn't see that there was no ripple in his deep eyes.

……………………

In the next few days, Cuizhuyuan was attacked by Mrs. Song from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, from the housekeeper to the mother-in-law, and the girl who only left her head.

The Shen family's many years of business in the public mansion have gone for most of it.

Looking at Song Zixun again, since he got drunk that night, the next day he was like a normal person, still going out early and returning late, busy, as if everything that night was just a small episode, and he was not affected in the slightest.

Du Rongzhi felt sorry for him and hid everything in his heart, so he didn't break it, but he took care of him more and more every day, and he was sensible and well-behaved, and Cheng Huan was on his knees, and Song Zi gradually came out of the gloom of that day.

It's just that his relationship with Song Jinze has not improved.

Although the latter has the heart to mend the gap between father and son over the years, it is not a day's cold to freeze three feet, especially Song Jinze, every time he faces Song Zixun, he can't help but think of the words he accused himself of killing his mother's executioner that day, and under the remorse, he became more and more unsure of how to get along with this eldest son. Song Zixun didn't bother to pay attention to it every time he saw him wanting to say it or not, usually except for going to the yamen, he stayed at home to accompany his wife and daughter, and his life was stable and comfortable.
