When I returned to the Quiet Garden, it was already noon.

Xiao Yan was no longer in the house, and the old lady was tired, and she slept very deeply on the bed. Seeing this, Xiao Xi was about to leave, but Mama Liu waved her hand at her and stepped forward to call the old lady a few times.

"Old lady, the second lady is back."

The old lady opened her eyes faintly, sat up with Mama Liu's hand, and moved her eyes to Xiao Xiwei, "Wei'er, you're back." ”

"Yes." Xiao Xiwei sat on the side of the bed, took the dim sum from Biyun's hand and opened it, "Grandmother, this is the yam pumpkin cake that I specially asked the dim sum master of Zuixian Lou to make, and it is also mixed with a few warm medicines, my granddaughter has tasted it, the taste is not bitter, can you try it?" With that, he reached out and pinched a piece of pastry and handed it to the old lady's lips.

In the past six months, she has been drinking medicine every day, so that she will regurgitate and vomit when she smells a little medicine, so when she heard Xiao Xiwei say that she had mixed medicine in her heart, she subconsciously felt a sour smell in her stomach, but looking at Xiao Xiwei's expectant gaze, she really couldn't refuse. Barely smiled, lowered his head, and took a small bite of Xiao Xiwei's hand.

As soon as she entered the mouth, she only felt soft and sweet, with a slight fragrance of yams, and she unexpectedly did not feel sick to her stomach.

"How's it going, grandmother?" Xiao Xi said expectantly.

The old lady smiled and nodded.

She didn't know the taste of food for several days, but now she suddenly tasted this soft and sweet snack, and suddenly felt that her stomach was empty and hungry, and she ate a few more dim sums with Xiao Xiwei's hand.

"If grandmother likes to eat, granddaughter goes to Zuixianlou every day to find the master to make it for grandmother." Xiao Xi said with a smile.

"You kid...... It's really heartfelt. The old lady reached out and patted the back of Xiao Xiwei's hand, staring at Xiao Xiwei gently, and after a long time, she slowly took her hand back, "Wei'er, do you know why grandmother broke you away this morning?" ”

Xiao Xiwei looked at the old lady and smiled faintly, "The granddaughter doesn't know, but the grandmother doesn't want the granddaughter to know, so naturally there is a grandmother's reason." ”

The old lady held Xiao Xiwei's hand and sighed long, "It's not that you can't let you know." You are a capable child, and there is nothing wrong with Houfu under your care, but you are still just a girl who has not yet left the cabinet...... Father continues to do this, I really don't know how to talk to you. ”

"Continue!" Xiao Xiwei's eyelids couldn't help twitching, and she noticed that the old lady had been staring at her eyes, and hurriedly stabilized her mind, "I don't know which girl my father is continuing from Liao Shangshu who came to mention it in person, you should also know that girl, I heard that it is the daughter of the servant of the ministry called Yushi." ”

"What!" Xiao Xi stood up from the bed slightly.

Lin Yushi! It turned out to be Lin Yushi!

"Wei'er, what's wrong with you?" The old lady was taken aback by Xiao Xiwei's sudden action.

She knew Xiwei's temperament, and she would never have done it if it hadn't been for something extremely shocking. She originally wondered if Liao Shangshu had any intention in coming to Xiang at this time, but now seeing Xiwei's expression, it seems that Xiang is only afraid of saying this time......

"Grandmother, father, he...... Did he say yes? Xiao Xiwei hurriedly asked the old lady.

At this moment, she didn't care if the old lady would think about it, but she definitely couldn't let Lin Yushi enter the mansion.

The old lady twisted her eyebrows, "Wei'er, you know that Liao Shangshu is your father's superior, and he has said it twice, so your father is not easy to refuse." ”

"So, my father should go?" Xiao Xi's expression narrowed slightly, and his voice involuntarily carried a few coldness. "Father, he won't know who Lin Yushi's father is! Why is it that at this point, he still wants to leave a way back for himself! Didn't he think that the back road he left behind could become our dead end? ”

"Shevid, you...... Ahem...... "The old lady suddenly covered her mouth and coughed violently.

Xiao Xiwei realized that these words should not be said to the old lady. She hurriedly sat down and stretched out her hand to smooth the old lady's back, "Grandmother, I'm sorry, I'm just in a hurry...... I shouldn't have said that. ”

The old lady grabbed Xiao Xiwei's hand hard, and only after the cough eased a little bit did she raise her eyes to look at Xiao Xiwei and said, "Last time, Liao Shangshu also came to the mansion to tell your father, but your father didn't agree at that time, but this time, ...... I see that he seems to have made up his mind this time? Wei'er, is there something wrong with Chaozhong? Your father wasn't a man who made up his mind easily? ”

Her own son, she knows best, Yan'er is not a person who can make up her mind easily. It must have been something that happened to the previous dynasty that would have made him act like this.

The old lady's words were like an initiation, and Xiao Xi suddenly became clear.

Yes. Father, he is definitely not a person who can make up his mind easily? What made him change his mind?

"Hey! Your mother has been dead for so long, and the knot in your father's heart has not yet been untied, it is really wronged......" The old lady beat her chest and said bitterly.

"Grandmother, I just can't accept my father's continuation for a while. Don't worry about it, get some rest. Xiao Xi said softly.

"Wei'er, grandmother doesn't know what's going on outside...... But grandmother believes in you. Don't worry, even if your father really wants to continue the strings, it will have to be approved by me......" The old lady took Xiao Xiwei's hand and said.

"Grandmother ......"

"It's not for nothing that your grandfather has been delaying his decision to make your father the son of the world, so it's really difficult to look ahead and look ahead!" The old lady said bitterly.

He wants more power to prove himself, but he is afraid that he will have nothing after failure, so he always wants to leave himself a way back! But Wei'er is right, not always you can leave a way out, often when you think you are leaving yourself a back road, in fact, you often leave yourself a dead end.

Coming out of Jingyuan, Xiao Xiwei went directly to Xiao Yan's study.

Seeing Xiao Xiwei coming in, Xiao Yan was not surprised at all, "Your grandmother should have told you, right?" ”

"Father is referring to the continuation of the string?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and said coldly.

Xiao Yan twisted his eyebrows, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Xiao Xiwei's attitude at this time, "Seeing that His Royal Highness King Yan is about to leave the palace, presumably your marriage will only be in the past few months." On your wedding day, we can't do without a master mother in our house. ”

"So, the father deliberately chose a stepmother younger than his daughter for his daughter's marriage? If I'm not mistaken, Miss Lin just got married a few years ago. Xiao Xi said coldly.

Xiao Yan's face changed, and he slapped the table and stood up, "What kind of attitude do you have!" Do you speak to your father like that? ”

"Father doesn't know what the relationship between the Lin family and King Shen is!" Xiao Xiwei met Xiao Yan's gaze without flinching and said coldly.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xiwei coldly and didn't say a word.

Xiao Xi's slightly slender eyelashes trembled suddenly, and a sour smile curled up on his lips, "What is the most important thing for my father?" Power? Status? I, Cille, and even my brother, are you a child or a pawn? ”

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Xiao Yan said with a cold and calm face.

Xiao Xi smiled, "I finally know why my mother didn't choose you now......"

"Shut up!" Xiao Yan raised his hand and slapped Xiao Xi fiercely.

'Smack'.

Xiao Xiwei only felt a hot pain in his right cheek, and his right ear 'buzzed'.

"Miss." Purple Smoke, who heard the movement, hurriedly broke in.

Xiao Xi tugged at the corners of her mouth slightly, although as soon as she moved, the right side of her face hurt terribly, "Did I say something wrong?" Xiao Xi glanced at the study with a slight turn, "Father, there are so many calligraphy and paintings hanging in your study, do you really like these calligraphy and paintings, do you understand these calligraphy and paintings?" ”

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xiwei with a calm face.

Xiao Xi smiled slightly and walked to a painting, "My father so cherished this "Qinghe Tu" in the most obvious position, but he didn't know that this "Qinghetu" was actually a fake!" In fact, your obsession with these paintings is only because of the superficial value of these paintings, you never understand what these paintings express, like, you have never understood your mother's ......" Xiao Xiwei looked at Xiao Yan and said coldly.

Xiao Xiwei's words were like a sharp silver needle piercing Xiao Yan's sore spot, and he couldn't speak for a while.

And Xiao Xiwei, she can't care about these things at the moment, "It's up to my father to decide who to marry, and I just hope that my father won't regret it." With that, she walked out with the purple cigarette butt without looking back.

After Xiao Xiwei left for a long time, Xiao Yan was still standing in place in a daze.

You've never understood your mother......

Xiao Xiwei's words echoed in his ears over and over again.

Xiao Yan turned around, walked stiffly to the desk, and then carefully pulled out a painting from it and slowly unfolded it.

A woman stood on the railing, her green clothes raised in the wind, the corners of her lips smiled, and she looked at the blooming lotus flower under her feet gently.

He raised his hand and gently stroked the woman's cheek, and a bitter smile gradually rose on his lips, "Qingwan, your daughter said that I never understood you." Yes, I admit, I don't understand you...... That's because you never gave me a chance to understand you......"

Everyone Chen Qingwan is the daughter of a businessman, and he is not worthy of him, a loyal and brave son-in-law, he thought so at first, but gradually, he felt that it was not that she was not worthy of him, but that he was not worthy of her. He didn't understand why he felt this way at the time, and he didn't know until the moment he saw Zhou Musheng later, it was because he put her in his heart, and the person she put in his heart was not him. How ironic! She is his wife, but there is someone else living in her heart! The moment he knew the truth, he went crazy with jealousy, but she didn't say anything, didn't explain a word, he thought at that time, even if she made up a lie to deceive him! But she didn't. She really didn't care about him, he thought...... I don't care if he doesn't return at night, I don't care if he accepts other women, I don't care if he speaks coldly......

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a pain in his heart, raised his hand and swept the painting to the ground.

After a long time, he gradually calmed down, looked at the laughter scattered on the ground, finally closed his eyes, and finally walked over and lowered his head to pick up the painting again.

After all, he still had no choice about her.
