The old lady went to the border to find Mei Zijin back, and there was a fire in her heart, so she would not show mercy when she said it.

And Fang just saw Mei Zijin and Shui Qingqing's mother and son living together, and even heard Yun'er call him 'Daddy', and it was the same as what Princess Leyi and the Tang family said, and the anger in his heart became stronger.

What's more, the old lady didn't know that Shui Qingqing was outside the door, so the words she said were particularly hurtful.

Shui Qingqing's whole body was like falling into an ice cave, her face was pale, and in the end, she didn't have the courage to knock on the door again, turned around and left silently with heavy steps......

Inside the house, after listening to the old lady's words, Mei Zijin's face also sank, and she said bitterly: "Mother can't talk about her like that...... This time, if she hadn't come all the way to me, maybe I wouldn't have woken up yet - in order to protect me, she took Yun'er quietly into seclusion, and it was only when she heard the news that I was seriously injured and did not wake up before she reappeared. ”

"And the decision to make all this is also my opinion, and it has nothing to do with her at all......"

"Does it really matter at all?!"

How could Old Madam Hou believe it, and said coldly disappreciatively: "If it weren't for the rumors of her elopement with the guards before, and for the fear that she would return to Beijing to receive the punishment, how would you voluntarily ask to stay at the border pass—do you think this pass is your paradise?"

Mei Zijin said in a deep voice: "Does Mother also believe such rumors? Does that mother know who that guard is?! ”

Old Madam Hou looked at Mei Zijin's appearance, and vaguely thought of something in her heart, she couldn't help but put down the tea bowl in her hand, and said in disbelief: "Could it be that the guard?"

"That's right, it's your other son."

Old Madam Hou's whole body trembled, and she looked at Mei Zijin in shock.

In this way, Mei Zijin no longer concealed it, and told the old lady about the nameless identity, as well as some of the things that happened in the capital before, as well as the slander and framing of the prince Li You, and the pursuit and killing of the nameless.

“…… The county lord escaped from the capital in order to protect Nameless - Li You guessed that he was a masked assassin, and he had been chasing him relentlessly, killing his friend for many years, and forcing him to show up to get rid of him as well......"

In the end, the county lord took the purple dragon jade jade jade given to her by the emperor and left Beijing namelessly and escaped Li You's pursuit. But all of this was shamelessly slandered by Li You, and she eloped with the nameless ......"

Hearing Mei Zijin talk about what happened to Nameless, Mrs. Hou was cold, and she couldn't believe that he had encountered so many crises when he was in the capital.

And the pursuit that caused a sensation in the capital before was actually to hunt him down?!

I don't even know anything about it......

The next moment, Old Madam Hou had already thought of something, her pupils widened in disbelief, and she said with a white face: "So...... What about the guard I saw in the White Mansion before...... Is it Ziyu? ”

Because I heard Bai Lingwei say before that she had seen someone who looked exactly like Mei Zijin in the subordinate room of Shui Qingqing's main courtyard, so after Shui Qingqing was drugged by Queen Chen and became a demented person, when Mrs. Hou went to visit her in Baifu, she quietly asked Xiaoxi to take her to the lower room to see it.

But at that time, there was only one nameless person in the lower room, and when the old lady saw his face, she didn't expect that he was disguised, the youngest son she had been looking for......

Thinking that he was standing in front of him like that, and he didn't recognize him, Old Madam Hou's heart was like a knife, and she beat her chest and said sadly: "I once heard the Bai family say that I saw him appear in the county lord's subordinate room, and I also went to look for it...... He was standing in front of me, and I didn't even recognize him...... I didn't even recognize my own son, and I lost him again......"

Old Madam Hou had been in a letter to her family before, and she had told Mei Zijin about Bai Lingwei's Yun'er and the nameless, and threatened her to return to the Hou Mansion. Therefore, when she heard the old lady mention the Bai family, she naturally knew that it was her, and she felt irrepressibly disgusted in her heart.

On the face, he persuaded the old lady not to be sad, and was pleased to tell the old lady about the nameless expedition for himself at Tonggu Pass, and the defeat of Chu Ze, the coach of Chu Fang.

“…… In any case, it is undeniable that his blood is the blood of our Mei family after all, in front of the national disaster, he is willing to put down his personal enmity to save me, and he killed Chu Ze bravely, so he has to let Tongguguan fight, and finally turned defeat into victory and kept the border pass. ”

This matter, except for Shui Qingqing and Mei Zijin knowing, even Sanshi didn't know that the person who finally defeated Chu Ze that night was nameless.

Therefore, when she suddenly heard the news, the old lady couldn't believe her ears, she was surprised and delighted, and her heart was even more proud-

Sure enough, the sons and daughters of their Mei family are all real heroes, so I'm afraid ...... Even a child like Nameless who has been exiled since childhood has the same iron-blooded heart......

However, the old lady then thought about it, if she hadn't been sent away by her nameless back then, or even hunted down by her biological father, would she be like his elder brother now, becoming the world-famous god of war, shining the lintel for the Hou Mansion, and the future is limitless? !

Thinking of this, the old lady felt more and more sad and regretful, wiped her tears and said sadly: "Then where is he now?" Why don't you leave him behind and take him home with you?! ”

Mei Zijin didn't want to keep him, but he couldn't keep him at all.

He looked at the sad old lady and persuaded: "Since he can put aside his personal hatred and come forward to save me regardless of the danger, I believe that one day, he will also let go of his hatred and return to the Hou Mansion."

After that, Mei Zijin changed his words and begged the old lady solemnly: "I beg my mother to be lenient with her for the sake of the nameless, and agree to let me be with her."

Listening to what Mei Zijin said so much, the old lady knew that between him and Shui Qingqing, it was useless to rely on them to oppose and obstruct him.

What's more, the two have lived in the border for so long, I am afraid that they have already become husband and wife, and the raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice, according to the identities of the two, if they want to forcibly disassemble, it will be impossible......

Quietly looking at the son she was most proud of in front of her, Mrs. Hou endured the sadness and helplessness in her heart, and sighed: "You have asked the emperor several times and asked the emperor to give you a marriage, but you have forgotten that the emperor has handed over his own precious daughter to you - would the emperor be willing to see you marry the lord of Guanqing and leave Princess Leyi in the capital and ignore it for the rest of your life?"

Describing a lot, hearing the old lady's words, Mei Zijin already understood in his heart, couldn't help but look up at the old lady, and hesitated: "What does the emperor mean?"

The old lady no longer hid it from him, and said in a deep voice: "Before leaving for the border pass, the emperor personally summoned me. The meaning of me and the emperor is that as long as you don't insist on staying here, you are willing to go back to the capital with your mother and marry the fifth princess according to the etiquette, and your mother and the emperor agree that you will marry the lord of Guanqing! ”

As soon as these words came out, Mei Zijin's tense heart suddenly relaxed, and her heart, which had been hanging tightly, also fell to the ground.

In fact, since asking Chen Zijin to bring back the petition, Mei Zijin has been waiting anxiously for the reply from the capital. But seeing that two months have passed, but there is no news, he has always been very worried in his heart.

And today, when he suddenly saw his mother coming to the border from the capital, he was even more worried, afraid that his mother's trip would be like before, to prevent them from being together.

Unexpectedly, his mother and the emperor finally agreed to his marriage with Shui Qingqing.

Overjoyed Mei Zijin, she was just about to respond, but she thought of the fact that Princess Leyi had put Shui Qingqing in a wooden box and tortured her.

Thinking that she couldn't find her at that time, and almost let her have an accident in the end, Mei Zijin was still afraid even now.

And he also knows that Princess Leyi, who has been rude and willful since she was a child, will not change her temperament. Coupled with her hostility towards Shui Qingqing all along, he had concerns in his heart again, and he couldn't help but pause when the words came to his mouth.

Seeing his hesitation, the old lady panicked, thinking that he would not agree to return to Beijing in this way, so she couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Mother has made concessions, are you still unwilling to go back?"

Mei Zijin got up and bowed solemnly to Mrs. Hou again, and said gratefully: "Thank you mother for your fulfillment." I am willing to go back to the capital with my mother, but before that, my son has a small request! ”

Hearing his response, Old Madam Hou's heart also relaxed, and said, "You say."

Mei Zijin said in a deep voice: "I want to marry Guan Qing before marrying Princess Leyi!"

Hearing this, Old Madam Hou looked at him with embarrassment, and muttered: "It stands to reason that your marriage with the princess is set before her, and the princess is your wife, and the emperor also thinks that the marriage date between you and the princess has been planned for a few auspicious days, and the big wedding will be held after you go back to make a decision——"

"If you want to marry her first, don't say anything about the dignity and inferiority, I'm afraid that the emperor and the princess will not be able to explain it......"

But Mei Zijin insisted on refusing to back down-

With his understanding of Princess Leyi, if she is allowed to enter the door, at that time, she will definitely rely on Mrs. Hou's identity to prevent him from marrying Shui Qingqing, and she doesn't know what kind of changes and incidents will happen later.

He has wronged her, he can't give her the position of his wife, if he can't marry her and enter the door, how can he bear it? !

Solemnly bowing to the old lady, Mei Zijin said firmly to the old lady: "As long as the mother agrees to her son's request, I can return to Beijing with my mother immediately!"

Looking at the resoluteness between his eyebrows, Mrs. Hou was very helpless-

She didn't know the son she gave birth to, and she would do what she said, otherwise she wouldn't have let her come to the border to find him back in person, regardless of her old bones.

Therefore, Mrs. Hou finally reluctantly agreed to Mei Zijin's request......

Here, the mother and son discussed everything. Shui Qingqing, who had left early, didn't know all this, but after hearing the words of the old lady scolding her in anger, she felt very uncomfortable.

But she also knew that the old lady was right.

Not only did she remarry her husband, but she also married the eldest prince Chongxi instead of Sheng Yu, she was already married twice.

What's more, she also has a child whose biological father is unknown, and her reputation is also notorious, and she has withdrawn from the prince......

Everything makes her not enough to match the world-famous marquis, and she is far from being worthy of Mei Zijin.

Shui Qingqing, who was in an extremely low mood, wanted to run to a place where no one was there and cry to vent the pain and suffocation that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time.

But today is Yun'er's birthday, even if her heart is dripping blood and tears, she has been playing with him with a smile, not wanting Yun'er to see her displeasure.

In fact, today's Yun'er's birthday, although she is happy, but in her mind it is irrepressible that she will think of last year's today, and the nightmare she experienced is as terrible as life and death.

A year ago today, she died in pain and worked hard to give birth to Yun'er.

But before she had time to rejoice, Yun'er was snatched away by Aunt Jin, and her whole body hurt like bones were broken, knocked unconscious, put it in a sack and threw it into the deep lake......

To this day, she still vividly remembers the pain of being torn and broken all over her body, and the despair of being suffocated by the lake.

She didn't forget those unforgettable pains, but because Yun'er and Mei Zijin were by her side, they dissolved the shadow of pain in her heart.

And when Yun'er returned to her and grew up healthily, she felt that everything she had paid was worth it.

Coupled with Mei Zijin's affectionate love, she regained her warmth and hope, and buried all the hardships she had experienced deep in her heart.

But these deep pains, once pulled out, will be doubly painful, just like at this moment......

Until it was dark, she didn't see Mei Zijin come back, and Shui Qingqing coaxed Yun'er to bed.

But Yun'er, who was used to playing with Mei Zijin before going to bed every night, suddenly didn't see Mei Zijin to play with her, and refused to sleep no matter how she coaxed her. Big black grape-like eyes stared at the door, and his mouth kept calling 'Daddy'.

Previously, Yun'er called, and Shui Qingqing responded to him for Mei Zijin. But when she came to the back, she burst into tears, and the grief in her heart came like a tide......

I don't know when, she and Yun'er have become accustomed to Mei Zijin guarding them by their side-

accustomed to the laughter and laughter he brought to them every night in this little room;

is accustomed to being Yun'er's father, and plays the role of a father in Yun'er's heart;

is even used to his childish clinging every night, accustomed to his handsome description of looking at her with a smile on his eyebrows......

Moreover, Shui Qingqing has slowly taken all these habits for granted, thinking that in the future, she will spend every day with him like this......

However, today's appearance of Old Madam Hou and her reprimand for Mei Zijin woke her up like a slap in the face.

She finally understood that according to her identity, it was too difficult to marry him, let alone talk about it, and live happily and happily with him here.

So, if one day, he wants to leave and is not by their side, so who will Yun'er call to be his father?

The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, Shui Qingqing hugged Yun'er and said softly: "In the future, my father will be my mother's mother, and my mother will also be my mother's mother...... You can't call Daddy Hou anymore......"

"He has a lot to do, and he probably won't come back to play with you again...... But it doesn't matter, my mother will always accompany Yun'er...... Mother-in-law can do nothing, as long as Yun'er is by her side......"

Yun'er was so young, how could she understand the meaning of her mother's words, and she wouldn't understand the sadness and helplessness in her mother's heart, so she only sucked her fingers and blinked her eyes at her mother.

Fortunately, she was excited to play during the day, and Shui Qingqing kept coaxing, Yun'er waited for Mei Zijin to wait until she was tired, and she fell asleep with her eyes closed in Shui Qingqing's arms.

Xiaoxi came in from outside, looked at Shui Qingqing who was sitting in tears with Yun'er in her arms, knowing the bitterness in her heart, she couldn't help but step forward and persuade softly: "Miss must have confidence in Master Hou." Hou Ye will definitely not give up Miss and Yun Gongzi. ”

Shui Qingqing wiped away her tears and said with a desolate smile: "Think about it carefully, I am indeed too selfish, in order to be with him, let him abandon his wife and concubine at home and everything in the capital...... Think about it from another position, if I were Aunt Tang and them, looking forward to the return of my husband, but in the end I didn't return home because of others, I would also be bitter and resentful......"

"So, he doesn't want to give up on me, but I can't drag him down anymore......"

Xiaoxi hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Since this is the case, the young lady will go back to the capital with the marquis...... I heard that the Hou Ye has promised the old lady to return to Beijing together......"

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing was slightly stunned-

Although she had expected it, she didn't expect it to be so soon.

She was stunned for a long time, and said with a stiff smile: "This is a good thing, the old lady has worked hard to come, and the Hou Ye will definitely accompany the old lady to go back......"

Xiao Xi snorted: "What about Miss? Will Miss and Yun Gongzi also go back together? ”

Shui Qingqing was extremely tired, and after helping Yun'er cover the quilt, she lay on the side of the kang weakly, and closed her eyes tiredly.

Xiaoxi has been by her side for so long, how can she not understand the difficulties in her heart.

Yun'er's identity has not yet been known by outsiders, so once he returns to the capital, Shui Qingqing will not be able to take him with him, and the mother and son will be separated again.

And the prince has been looking for Yun'er and wants to use him against Mei Zijin.

and the hatred between her and Empress Chen, and even Bai Lingwei of the Yang family, will be turned out and faced again......

After a long time, Shui Qingqing closed her eyes and said tiredly: "Xiaoxi, do you want to go back?"

Xiaoxi hurriedly shook her head and said in a loud voice: "I don't want to, I only follow Miss, and I will go wherever Miss goes...... It's just—"

Speaking of this, Xiaoxi hesitated and didn't continue.

Shui Qingqing struggled to open her sore eyes and asked softly, "Just what?"

Xiaoxi said: "If the young lady doesn't go back with the Hou Ye, I'm afraid that ...... I'm afraid that Master Hou won't let Miss be left alone with the child. If you don't go back, I'm afraid that Hou Ye won't go back. ”

What Xiaoxi said was exactly what Shui Qingqing was depressed.

She knew that the old lady would come forward in person, and Mei Zijin's return to the capital was a foregone conclusion.

According to her original intention, after hearing the old lady's words, she should leave here with Yun'er, leave Mei Zijin, and let him go back to his original life.

However, because she knew Mei Zijin too well, she knew that if she didn't go with him, he would definitely not be willing to go, and then it would only cause the estrangement between him and the old lady to get deeper and deeper......

Shui Qingqing rubbed her temples that jumped suddenly, looked at the sky outside, and said tiredly: "Don't think about it first." You've also been tired all day, go close the door and rest early. ”

Xiao Xi went down as she said, and was about to close the door, but she exclaimed.

Hearing Xiaoxi's exclamation, Shui Qingqing looked back, but it was Mei Zijin who pushed the door and came in.

With a stunned expression, Shui Qingqing froze on the spot, looking at him who suddenly appeared.

As soon as Mei Zijin entered the door, he went straight to the kang, and when he saw that Yun'er was asleep, he couldn't help touching his little face and smiled: "I fell asleep today without waiting for my father to come, it seems that I was tired of playing during the day."

After that, he leaned down and pecked lightly on Yun'er's forehead, and turned back to ask Shui Qingqing, after he left at noon, did Yun'er cry to find him?

Shui Qingqing had mixed feelings in her heart, she didn't expect him to come here so late, pressed down the various emotions surging in her heart, and said softly: "He and Lu Lin Xiaoxi had a lot of fun, and they fell asleep as soon as it got dark......"

Hearing that Yun'er didn't look for him, Mei Zijin's happy face couldn't help but have a trace of loss, turned around and scratched his little nose lightly, so he said angrily: "Little without conscience, if someone plays with you, you will forget your father."

Shui Qingqing, who was sad in her heart, couldn't see such a warm scene, which only made her feel more sad.

She stiffened her throat and said in a muffled voice: "It's late, Yun'er is also asleep, Hou Ye should go back to rest early......"

However, before she could finish speaking, Mei Zijin had already laid down next to Yun'er, and said unhappily: "You just came, and you drove me away—don't you forget, what did you promise me in the kitchen this morning."

There were so many things that happened today that Shui Qingqing had long forgotten what he had asked her to do in the kitchen before. Now when I heard his reminder, I remembered that she had promised him to sleep here tonight in the kitchen.

Her face burned red without warning, and Shui Qingqing looked at Mei Zijin, who was lying comfortably on the kang with a wanton face, and her heart became more and more sad.

She looked out nervously, obviously there was no one, not even Xiaoxi, but she was extremely nervous in her heart.

What if, what if the old lady suddenly appears? That's really jumping into the Yellow River and can't be washed......

The body couldn't help but stay away from the kang, Shui Qingqing was so frightened that she stammered when she spoke, "Master Hou better go back to his room and sleep...... Being ...... It's not good to be seen and misunderstood......"

"Misunderstanding something."

Seeing that she was about to escape, Mei Zijin came down to stop her, stretched out her hand and gently stroked her red and swollen eyes, and said with heartache and joy: "I have good news to tell you."

His long, calloused fingers gently caressed her eyes, causing her eyelashes to tremble slightly.

She said uneasily, "What's the good news?"

Mei Zijin said with a smile: "The emperor and my mother have agreed to our marriage, and promised to hold a wedding as soon as we return to Beijing, and officially marry you - we will leave for Beijing in five days." This afternoon, I have sent someone back to the Hou Mansion to prepare for our wedding. When we go back, everything is arranged, and you can be my bride with peace of mind! ”

Mei Zijin's words made Shui Qingqing's mind explode with a bang, leaving a blank space.

She looked at Mei Zijin with a happy and excited face in a daze, and then thought of the words she heard the old lady reprimanding him before, and described it in disbelief.

Before she could recover from the shock, Mei Zijin suddenly reached out and picked her up horizontally and walked towards the kang, pressing her under her, looking at her with deep eyes, and lust surging inside.

"So—see what excuse you have to drive me away in the future!"
