Chapter 15: Confession

After Liu's mother left with a worried face, Mrs. Xie closed the door.

When I walked in, I saw Su Ruan, who was sitting on the bed and looking at her with her head slightly sideways.

Su Ruan's appearance is undoubtedly really advantageous.

The face is slightly rounded, the eyes are black grapes, and the small mouth is slightly whitish with a natural curvature.

Even if she was a little embarrassed at this time, her hands were wrapped in zongzi, and her hair was a little messy, but her appearance would not make people annoying, but people couldn't help but feel pity.

Old Madam Xie glanced at the front of the bed and saw that all the objects that should have been placed at the head of the bed were gone, and the entire bedside was empty.

Surprise crossed her eyes, and she said, "Is the injury on my body still important?" ”

Old Madam Xie was ready to get no response, anyway, she just wanted to find a proper opening statement.

Who knew that Su Ruan on the bed said "En", and then said, "It's a little painful." ”

Old Madam Xie was stunned and looked at her.

Su Ruan lowered her eyelashes slightly.

"In the past, after I accidentally fell, I cried in pain, and my father gave me candy to eat, and he always coaxed me to say, sweet in his mouth, and flew away in pain......"

Her voice was a little lower, with a hint of nasalness:

"After Daddy left, no one ever coaxed me anymore."

What about your mother?

Old Madam Xie pursed her lips and subconsciously wanted to ask, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back.

She had heard Xie Yuan talk about the Chen family and Su Ruan before, even if he had concealed most of it at that time, but there was no doubt about one thing, the mother and daughter did not have a good life in Jingnan.

But when the mother and daughter first came to the house, although the Chen family was a little thin, but her temperament was still soft, she was like a silk flower that had been pampered in the house, how could she protect her equally beautiful daughter after Su Xuanmin's death?

On the contrary, Su Ruan, who looked thin and small when she first came to the house, looked at people with a ruthless energy, and looked like a hedgehog, standing in front of her mother to guard against all the people around her.

The anger in Old Madam Xie's heart suddenly dispersed, and she took out some sugar cubes from her purse and handed them to Su Ruan.

When Su Ruan raised his eyes, his eyes were a little red.

Old Madam Xie softened: "Eat, in the Hou Mansion in the future, you can have as much sugar as you want, and your grandmother will give it to you." ”

Su Ruan's eyes were sour, and she hurriedly lowered her head, but Old Madam Xie still saw her tears.

She sighed lightly, walked to the edge of the bed and sat beside Su Ruan, stretched out her hand to gently wrap around him and her, patted her on the back and whispered, "Cry, just cry." ”

Su Ruan suddenly burst into tears.

Old Madam Xie patted her on the back and looked at Su Ruansheng, who was crying uncontrollably, and felt a little sour in her heart.

At the end of the day, it's just a kid.

was originally a pampered flower, but suddenly lost her protection, how could she not hate the person who had caused her to fall to such a point?

Old Madam Xie patted her with her hand and said, "I know that you resent Xie Yuan for killing your father, but I believe that my son, if it weren't for the reason, he would definitely not kill innocent people in vain, let alone send innocent people to death for the sake of so-called merits." ”

"I don't know much about Jingnan, but I have also heard how many people died after the drought and turmoil."

"Xie Yuan took your mother and daughter back to the mansion, not only because he had a love for your mother, but also to protect your mother and daughter."

Old Madam Xie did not coax Su Ruan, but directly told Xie Yuan's thoughts about the Chen family.

"I don't know what the secrets of Jingnan's affairs are, and I can't help you find my son for revenge, but if you don't want to stay in the Hou Mansion, I can take charge of sending you back to Jingnan."

"It's just Su Ruan, you have to know that the world is not peaceful now, and there is still chaos in Jingnan, your mother was born too well, if someone shelters her like that, it's okay, if there is no one to protect her, how long can you keep her?"

Su Ruan looked up at her and didn't speak.

Old Madam Xie took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her tears: "You are a smart child, you should know what I mean." ”

Su Ruan's eyes were red, how could she not know how much trouble Chen's beauty would bring.

In her memory, after Su Xuanmin's death, she took the Chen family to live a difficult life.

Chen's appearance is too eye-catching, those men look at their orphans and widows, they covet Chen's beauty without scruples, and even often show strange looks to her, she has had countless thoughts of wanting to ruin herself and Chen's face.

In Jingnan before, if Xie Yuan hadn't appeared in time, she would have been unable to escape from the murder on the back of the person she killed, and the Chen family would be alone at that time, with her appearance and temperament, even if she could survive, I am afraid that she would only become the plaything of others.

Su Ruan whispered in a nasal voice: "Xie Yuan... Hou Ye said, my father was infected with the plague and had no hope of living, so he killed tens of thousands of people in Jingnan in order to protect them. ”

Old Madam Xie looked at him: "Then do you still want to kill him?" ”

"I don't know."

Su Ruan shook his head: "I don't know if I should trust him or not." He saved me and my mother, but he killed my father, and killed so many soldiers who guarded Jingnan until death, I don't know if he is a good person or a bad person. ”

Old Madam Xie was amused by her honesty, looked at the blankness on her face and said, "Then you might as well stay in the mansion and see with your own eyes whether he is a good person or a bad person." ”

Su Ruan looked up.

Old Madam Xie pinched her round cheeks:

"What kind of person he is, only the people around him know best, even if he wants to disguise, he can't hide it from the people closest to him."

"Your mother married into the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, she is the wife of the Xuanping Marquis, and you are the daughter of my Xuanping Marquis Mansion, you stay in the mansion and stare at him every day, if he deceives you, one day he will show his tail."

"But if what he said is true, then his liking for your mother is true, and his love for you is also true, with him, he can protect you and your mother for the rest of your life."

"I think your father has a spirit in the sky, and I don't want to see him go, and your mother and daughter will live a precarious life."

Su Ruan hesitated, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Old Madam Xie was not in a hurry, and directly took a piece of osmanthus candy in her hand and stuffed it into Su Ruan's mouth: "No matter how you choose, you can tell me, but there is one more important thing at the moment." ”

"The people in the outer courtyard destroyed your father's tablet before, and I have already interrogated everyone, and they said that Xiao Liu did it, and this matter must be explained to you."

Su Ruan's mouth was full of the taste of osmanthus candy.

Mrs. Xie sat on the edge of the bed with her, and after a long time, Mother Liu's voice came from outside the door.

"Old lady, the eldest prince is back with the sixth prince."
