Chapter 517: Let's be honest

Tang Meng didn't pay attention to it at all, pressing step by step, "Why don't you go home when you're obviously not dead?" Why don't you recognize each other when you see Xiao Tao? If you don't sell your house and don't go to the street, who are you hiding? ”

A series of questions startled Xiao Tao to stand in place, and her father was already pale, he didn't know where he showed his flaws, obviously Tang Meng still didn't see anything, and said that he would give himself a thousand taels of silver tickets.

Little Peach Daddy was stunned in place and couldn't say a word, his mind flew to think about whether he could successfully get out if he grabbed the door now, while thinking that the old man began to accumulate strength under his feet, but before he could get up, he heard a cold voice from the opposite position.

"Do you think your two legs can outrun this king's Yi Wangfu soldiers?"

Duan Jingyi opened his eyebrows suddenly, this gaze seemed to be with a thousand-year-old cold air, and directly froze Xiao Tao's father on the seat, Xiao Tao looked at the scene of Duan Jingyi and Tang Meng singing and harmonizing, so frightened that he didn't even have time to wipe the tears on his face, and turned his head to look at the other side blankly, "Dad, what the hell is going on......

Finally, Little Peach's father suddenly let go of his hands supporting the chair, and even his whole body collapsed on the seat, and the little peach looked like ashes.

Tang Meng and Duan Jingyi glanced at each other, knowing that this matter was stable, Xing'er had also quietly walked behind Xiao Tao, she gently grabbed Xiao Tao's arm to support her, for fear that she would hear something she couldn't accept for a while, after all, it was a happy scene of reunion just now, and no one expected that it would become such a situation in an instant.

Tang Meng looked at the old man sitting below with his head hanging and spoke, "Say, what happened to you outside, is it because someone wants to arrest you that you are acting like this?" That's why you made such a fuss at the gate of the Yi Palace, because you are sure that those people will not rashly act in front of the prince, if I really give you a thousand taels of silver, you will sneak away without saying goodbye, right? ”

After hearing these words, the old man smiled bitterly, and then stood up tremblingly and knelt on the ground in defeat, "Niangniang is really clever, and what she said is not bad," Xiao Tao immediately trembled as soon as these words came out, which also shows that her father did not come back this time to reunite with him at all, and even he turned out to be a supporting role in so many plans, and his real purpose is probably for silver.

Xiao Tao's legs were weak and she almost couldn't stand, thanks to Xing'er supporting her in the back, but Rao was so Xiao Tao still hit the table and made a sound of tea cups colliding, and the little peach father who was kneeling in front of him only turned his head back slightly after hearing the movement, and his eyes touched Xiao Tao's skirt and then turned back.

He lowered his head, and he didn't know if he felt guilty about Xiao Tao or didn't care about this daughter at all, although Tang Meng also felt sorry for Xiao Tao, but the stakes were high, after all, if he could know some additional clues from the perspective of Xiao Tao's father, he would be able to catch the mastermind behind the scenes.

Tang Meng said sharply, "What's going on with this matter, you still don't tell the truth!" ”

Xiao Tao's father paused, Xu Wei thought about it again, and he still had room for turnaround, but the matter had come to this point, he only harmed his daughter and did not hurt Yiwangfu, so he thought that according to the one at the door today, he would definitely not be guilty of death, so he sighed and opened his mouth resignedly, "I actually ...... It's not Peach's father. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Tang Meng gasped, Xiao Tao's eyes widened in shock, as if all the previous blows were not worth mentioning, and this incident was enough to be fatal, she broke free from Xing'er's support and rushed to the old man's side, tears like beads with broken threads smashed down, "What did you say!" You're clearly my father, even if you've been missing for so long, I can recognize you at a glance, Daddy! ”

The old man still hung his head, he slowly pushed the little peach hand on his arm down, and said tremblingly, "I was not your father from the beginning, I lied to you for more than ten years, child." ”

Xiao Tao fell to the ground with a bang, the old man still only slightly tilted his head and did not look at Xiao Tao's face, and then he slowly spoke, recalling the past of the year, "At that time, our village was poor, and many people came out to be cattle and horses for big families, and I also came out, but I met your mother and you not long after I left the village, you were still too young at that time, it was pouring rain outside, and your mother was already very sick when I arrived." ”

The old man suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red and he looked at the top of his head, as if he was recalling the appearance of the little peach mother, "Your mother is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, I saved you but I can't afford to support you, I took your mother to the broken cave and she died two days later, begging me to take you away before I died, I agreed as soon as my heart softened, and since then I have told you that I am your father." ”

When he said this, Xiao Tao couldn't cry anymore, but the old man didn't mean to stop, "Later, I went to work in a big family, and the days were about to pass, but at that time I met the fellow who came out together, and he said that gambling money can make a million profits, and I went with him at that time, and as a result, I lost all my blood and didn't even have the money for our two to eat, and at that time I happened to hear that there was a maid in Yiwang's mansion......"

"Say no more!" Xiao Tao cried, and the old man's words came to an abrupt end, but after a while, he still wanted to finish the story.

Before, the old man was still thinking about whether he could have a chance to escape, but now he is tired of escaping, and he may have finally had the opportunity to tell the events of the year after so many years, so he didn't plan to stop at all, but felt that this was a relief.

“…… After selling you into the palace, I went back to the casino to earn back, who knew that the more money I owed, I couldn't afford it, I was detained there to do coolies after being beaten by the people in the casino, and I could only go back to the courtyard on the outskirts of the city at night, I thought that life would go on like this, but I didn't expect you to come back a few years later during the New Year, at that time I also bought snacks and food and happily said that the palace came back to accompany me on vacation, I was really happy at that time, I felt that there was such a girl as you, it was worth it to die, and I would never gamble again. ”

"But you can't help it at all...... right," Xiao Tao sat on the ground with empty eyes and sneered.

The old man acquiesced, "After you go back, I have been detoxified for a while, but I work in the casino and watch people win a lot of money every day, I really can't resist such a temptation, so I ......" The old man sighed, after so many years, his vicissitudes of life can no longer distinguish whether it is regret or emotion.
