It snowed heavily for several days, but finally it stopped falling.

To the southeast of Gyeongju City, the families living there are either rich or expensive.

The Duan family was originally a big family in Daqi, and after the Three Kingdoms were unified, the Duan family also moved to Gyeongju to live with the big stream.

Some of the clan were worried that the migration would affect the prestige of their family, but after settling in this new capital, they found that the reputation of their Duan clan had not been affected by the new patriarch's actions.

The patriarch of this clan, more than ten years ago, at night, was replaced by the patriarch who was in office at that time, and the son-in-law of the head of the Duan family who had been missing for nearly a year at that time, by thunderous means.

That night, a lot of things happened in the Duan family's main house.

——The second son, who has always been cherished by the head of the family and is very likely to become the new head of the family in the future, was reported to have died violently on the concubine chuang in the morning, and the head of the family himself was also bedridden due to a stroke.

In this way, the new head of the family will naturally be succeeded by the head of the family by his heirs.

After several days of deliberation among the elders of the clan, it was finally decided that the new head of the family would concurrently serve as the patriarch.

Duan Qisheng is the eldest son of the head of the Duan family who disappeared for more than a year more than ten years ago.

In order to avenge his brother-in-law's two assassinations in succession, and in order to get justice for himself, he killed his brother-in-law with his own hands as soon as he returned to the mansion, so that his father was so angry that he had a stroke and was on the bed.

He has no regrets about it.

Since ancient times, the family business has been taken care of by his concubine, but his father seems to be very good to his mother and concubine because of Chong's love for the concubine, but secretly he is planning to pass on the position of the head of the family to the concubine.

Otherwise, during the more than a year since he disappeared, why didn't he send people around to look for him?

The father who gave birth to him and raised him, I'm afraid that he would have an accident and die outside, right?

At the time, he thought so.

Later, after his covert investigation, this sad and lamentable fact was also implemented.

"Qiaoxiu, you see that so many years have passed, otherwise, you and Yang'er will move back to the mansion with me to live!" Duan Qisheng put down the cup in his hand, raised his eyes to look at his flat wife, Qiaoxiu, and said softly, "No, our mother and son have been used to living in this house over the years. However, the concubine is still Xie Lu Xie and Master Xie's concern for our mother and son! Qiaoxiu got up and saluted Duan Qisheng, showing her attitude.

Back to the mansion? What is she going to do when she goes back to the mansion?

Is it to see him and another woman, and their children, enjoying themselves every day? When His Royal Highness Xian Wang and Emperor Qinglan helped their mother and son find him, and found him who forced her in the mountains, she didn't know how she felt when she saw him, her father saw that his character was still good, and because of the last resort, he would violate her, so he should marry him, and let her marry Xiaohuzi into Duanfu and be his flat wife.

Yes, it's a flat wife.

Because she was born in the countryside, she was not qualified to be his wife.

As far as she was concerned, she didn't blame him, and she didn't have the right to blame him. It was all the elders of the Duan clan, who used their doors to be the right people, and with their xing lives, he could only marry her as a flat wife.

thought that Xiaohuzi couldn't live without a father, and he didn't want his father to worry about her and Xiaohuzi anymore.

She nodded and agreed.

Three days after the wedding, there was bad news that my father went up the mountain to chop firewood and accidentally fell to the bottom.

It's because she is not good, she married into a deep house compound, and she didn't take care of her elderly father, so she let him die.

After her father's funeral, she proposed to move with Xiaohuzi to live outside the mansion.

Seeing her resolute attitude, he nodded in agreement.

He was a good man, and she could tell from the few short days she had spent with him.

But she had already lived in a person in her heart, and she had lived in that gentle, elegant, and high-minded man.

didn't want him to see what was on her mind, let alone live a life of intrigue in the courtyard of the deep house, but in the end, she got her wish and moved into this quiet mansion not far from the mansion with Xiaohuzi, which he personally bought.

Spring comes and goes, and a few years have passed, and he and his wife have a son and a daughter, but they have not forgotten that they come to this house to visit their mother and son for nearly half of the month.

Maybe she was too lonely in her heart, or the person she remembered in her heart was really too far away from her, and gradually, she became dependent on him. Whenever she saw him appear, her mood would become very good, but when she remembered that there was another woman beside him, her heart would throb slightly.

It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.

Besides, many years have passed, and there are only two daughters by his side, her and his wife.

He has a habit of cleanliness, and this secret that belongs to him is what he inadvertently told her during a small talk with her. As a woman, as a country woman as vulgar as her, she should be full of joy to meet a man as good as him. She didn't, but with his warmth and his giving, she wanted more.

If she goes back to live in the mansion with him, she will invisibly resentment against him. This is not what she wants, so she still lives in this outer house, so that at least half a month, he only belongs to her, not to another woman.

"Qiaoxiu, why are you doing this?" As he spoke, the corners of Duan Qisheng's mouth pulled up a wry smile, "Jin Se her, she is gentle, she won't be embarrassed by you." Qiaoxiu sat down on the chair, smiled softly, and said, "I know that my sister is very good, but I'm used to living here, and I really don't want to move back to the mansion." ”

"Dad, your kindness, my mother and I will receive it, since my mother is unwilling to move back to the mansion to live, this matter will be stopped!"

It was Duan Qisheng and Qiaoxiu's son who spoke, and he was also the little tiger of the year. Now he is close to a weak crown, with a long body and a handsome appearance, which is very similar to Duan Qisheng.

Duan Qisheng got up from the chair and said, "Okay, I won't mention this matter......" As he spoke, he paused for a moment before he continued: "There are still some things at hand that have not been dealt with, so I will go back to the mansion first." As he turned to leave, he couldn't help but sigh deeply. He didn't know how to persuade Qiaoxiu to go back to the mansion with him. It's not good for him, first for the sake of xing's life, he offended her back then, and then wanted to marry her as a wife, and when he gave her and Xiaohuzi a name, he was forced by the old elders of the clan to marry her as a wife, and he could only let her enter the door as a wife.

A flat wife, to say that it sounds like a wife, is actually no different from a concubine.

She has a habit of cleanliness, and after knowing that there is their mother and son, she has no intention of marrying another woman.

Walking out of the dining room and stepping on the snow on the ground, Duan Qisheng walked to the courtyard, raised his eyes to look at the bright moon in the sky, and his thoughts returned to many years ago......

As the head of the family, the position of patriarch also fell on his shoulders, and Duan Qisheng was busy until late for a few days before returning to his room to rest.

One night in spring, "Who ......" Duan Qisheng just lay down on the couch not long ago, he heard a slight sound in the room, and before he sat up to say the second sentence, the person had already been pointed, and his body did not move, and then he was carried by a masked man in black on his shoulder and jumped out of the open window.

"You are the head of the Duan family?" When his body regained his freedom and was about to make a move, a man's cool and gentle voice sounded in his ears, and he looked up carefully at the environment, it turned out that the man in black took him to the Xian Wang's mansion, and the handsome man standing in front of him was the Xian Wang himself.

"His Royal Highness the King of Huixian, here is the head of the Duan family."

Stabilizing his mind, he waved his hands and replied respectfully.

Why did the Idle King look for him? Although the Duan family is a big family, among his fathers, no one has entered the court as officials, and among these juniors, there are only a few people who eat the court money, but their status in the court is not very high. He himself, he wants to gain fame, but there are too many affairs in his hands, so he has been delayed, Duan Qisheng is very puzzled that King Xian captured him at night with a secret guard, what is the so-called matter?

"More than two years ago, did you appear in Huangshan?" The idle king went straight to the point, and said directly the purpose of his search for Duan Qisheng, "You'd better think about it before answering." ”

Huangshan?

More than two years ago, did he appear in Huangshan?

Duan Qisheng frowned and thought.

The idle king raised his eyes and carefully measured him for a moment, and said lightly: "This king can bring someone to bring you over late at night, it must confirm that you have appeared in Huangshan." His gaze fell on Duan Qisheng's left hand, which was hanging by his side.

It was him, and the man who violated Miss Mu back then was the head of the Duan family in front of him.

After not hearing Duan Qisheng's answer for a long time, Xian Wang said in a low voice, "You once beat a woman there, do you remember?" After he reminded him like this, Duan Qisheng's mind suddenly flooded with memories of the past, "Below, I did offend a country woman." But at that time, I was really helpless, so I would do that. As he spoke, Duan Qisheng knelt on the ground, "The things of the year are in the next place...... "Is the idle king going to punish him?" Originally, he planned to finish the affairs at hand in the near future, so he sent someone to the village near Huangshan to find out the whereabouts of the woman, so as to be responsible for her.

He is not the kind of irresponsible man, he is "intoxicated", out of helplessness, he will do the thing that is scolded.

Seeing that he was sincere in admitting his mistake and explaining the reason for doing so, King Xian turned to sit down on the chair and said, "The girl who was violated by you is surnamed Mu, and she has given birth to a child for you, and the child is now over one year old, how do you plan to settle their mother and son?" "Kid, he's got a baby? Duan Qisheng raised his head, as if he couldn't believe it, "That day, I happened to be visiting Huangshan, and I saw a man walking out of the cave from a distance, and then left in a hurry...... "Xianwang told Duan Qisheng what he saw that day and what happened to Daddy Mu's family later.

"If you know your mistake in the next, please ask the prince to punish the crime!"

After listening to what the idle king said, Duan Qisheng's face was full of guilt, and he once again bowed his head to the idle king and confessed.

"Get up and speak." The idle king raised his hand and got up with Duan Qisheng.

Offences? Now that the wooden girl has given birth to all her children, what is the use of curing the sin of the man in front of her? The idle king tapped his index finger on the table, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "Miss Mu's family lives in Mujia Village at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, you should know what to do, right?" "To be the head of the family, if you want to come to this person's character, all aspects of ability, it should be not bad, he has already pointed it out, it depends on how the head of the family will do it next.

"His Royal Highness King Xie Xian's grace of not sinning." Duan Qisheng got up, waved his hands and said, "Tomorrow, I will personally go to Mujia Village tomorrow to talk about marriage with Daddy Namu." King Xian said: "You can just watch it yourself." However, I have put my words here for you beforehand, so that I don't want to hear rumors about your bad treatment of Miss Mu's mother and son. ”

Duan Qisheng waved his hand and said respectfully: "Don't dare!" ”

"Well, let's go!" The idle king waved his hand lightly, and Duan Qisheng left.

Early the next morning, Duan Qisheng rode a fast horse and rushed to Mujia Village.

After questioning the people in the village, he learned that he had arrived at the location of Daddy Mu's house, and led the horse, and with a sense of guilt, he approached in the direction where Daddy Mu's house was.

He forced someone else's woman, and that woman actually gave birth to a child for him, Duan Qisheng really didn't feel good in his heart.

Zhenjie is very important to women, and he knows this.

If you lose your integrity, you will be pregnant before you get married, and you will be spurned by people wherever you are.

How did she get here?

At the door of Daddy Mu's house, there are several peach blossom trees planted, each tree grows as thick as the mouth of the bowl, the peach blossoms are full of tender flowers, blooming brightly, the cool mountain breeze blows, the petals fall all over the sky, bursts of fragrance, spread everywhere. Qiaoxiu stood under the flower tree, watching Xiaohuzi squatting on the ground to pick up flower petals and playing, the smile on her delicate face was very gentle.

"Mother, pretty, pretty......" Xiaohuzi picked up a handful of petals, and his chubby little body stood up from the ground, raised his little head, and let Qiaoxiu see, "Hmm." Qiaoxiu squatted down, her eyes softened, and she nodded with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Suddenly, the petals in Xiaohuzi's hand shook off the ground, pointed to Qiaoxiu's back, and said happily: "Mother, Daddy, Daddy......" Qiaoxiu's body trembled slightly, Yu Xiaohuzi seemed to have no belief in what he said, and when she heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from afar, her eyes immediately turned red, did he come to her? Didn't he leave Jizhou and go to Xuanyuan?

What if he found her?

He is the prince, she is only a country woman, and she is also a woman who has given birth to a child, one of them is in heaven and the other is on earth, there is a difference between cloud and mud, they cannot be together.

Moreover, and he already has a lover in his heart, the ethereal, delicate, innocent and lovely county lord, the woman he likes, the person he wants to protect for the rest of his life, for her, he just sympathizes with her!

Could it be that he found Xiaohuzi's father and came to tell her the news? ”

Turning around slowly, Qiaoxiu was disappointed, the person who came was not the person she was thinking about.

Duan Qisheng led the horse, and fifty meters away, he saw a woman and a child playing under the peach blossom tree, and immediately sensed that it was the mother and son of the wooden girl he was looking for.

Because Daddy Mu's home is behind those peach blossom trees.

Daddy, the child seemed to see him, the petals in the little hand shook off, opened his mouth, and called him Daddy.

The woman turned slowly and looked at him.

Duan Qisheng felt his heart thump and beat wildly a few times.

She was dressed in a light green dress, and the fabric didn't look very good, but it looked great on her. She looked in the direction he was coming, and there was a hint of sorrow between her brows.

Just the moment she turned around, he saw a hint of joy in her eyes, why was it suddenly replaced by sorrow?

Looking at it carefully, she seems to have a lot of inhumane melancholy, and she wants to use a long view to solve all kinds of complicated thoughts in her heart.

The light green skirt lined her with a lot of thoughts, like a flower that wanted to break away from the branches, which made Duan Qisheng feel a little pity.

She is so delicate, but she is tenacious, otherwise, she would not have given birth to the child without hesitation without knowing which father the child was.

And the father of the child is still the one who forcibly violated her.

The guilt in Duan Qisheng's heart became stronger and stronger.

Will she agree to marry him later?

Will he forgive him for the wrong things he did to her back then?

With self-blame, guilt, and pity, Duan Qisheng led the horse to Qiaoxiu.

“…… You, you ......" he opened his mouth and couldn't make a sound for a long time, "Daddy, are you Xiaohuzi's father?" Xiaohuzi raised his head, stretched out his little hand and tugged at Duan Qisheng's brocade robe.

Qiaoxiu bent down and picked up Xiaohuzi and said, "Good, Daddy went out to run errands, and it will take a long time to come back!" As she spoke, she hugged the little tiger and walked towards the house with a little vanity, "Mu ...... Girl, yes, I'm sorry......" threw down the reins, and Duan Qisheng stepped to chase Qiaoxiu.

He's really the father of Little Tiger!

looks like a talent, and at first glance he knows that he is the son of a big family, but why does he want to, why does he want to violate her? As a result, she had a little tiger and was scolded by the villagers......

Qiaoxiu didn't have hatred in her heart, she just had too much incomprehension, too much sadness and suffering.

"Xiu'er, what's wrong with you?"

Father Mu saw Qiaoxiu hurriedly walking into the house with Xiaohuzi in his arms, and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Qiaoxiu responded, walked to the chair, hugged Xiaohuzi and sat down, "Xiu'er, don't hide anything from your father." "Daddy Mu is very worried about this daughter, she always sits in a daze at every turn when she comes in, and stares at the appearance of Xiaohuzi, she looks like she is a big moment, how to scream, but also makes her not wake up, the whole person seems to be sucked by the demon.

Duan Qisheng walked into Daddy Mu's house.

"Childe, are you ......" Father Mu saw Duan Qisheng and asked. Duan Qisheng waved his hand at him, and then revealed his identity to Father Mu, and then he explained in a low voice to Father Mu that he had no choice but to violate Qiaoxiu, his words were full of guilt, and his expression was extremely annoyed.

Eventually, he told him what he was going to do.

Although Daddy Mu is from the mountains, he is not ignorant. After listening to Duan Qisheng's words, while thanking King Xian in his heart, he didn't have any angry hatred for Duan Qisheng's violation of his daughter, knowing that the man in front of him was going to marry Qiaoxiu and enter the door, he felt at ease.

However, just as he was about to nod his head to agree to Duan Qisheng's proposal to marry, Qiaoxiu's voice sounded, "Dad, I don't want to marry." You let him go! Father Mu looked at his daughter and didn't speak, he was waiting, waiting for Duan Qisheng to speak, to see what he would say to his daughter.

Duan Qisheng's face was full of apology, and he looked at Qiaoxiu and said, "I am really helpless to offend you." Even if His Royal Highness the King of Leisure doesn't look for me, I plan to come to you in this neighborhood in person after taking care of the family's affairs. Now that you have a child, you have to think about your child, don't you? He spoke sincerely, word by word, "Don't worry, I won't wronged you and the child." ”

Qiaoxiu lowered her eyes and did not speak.

Grievance? Before giving birth to Xiaohuzi, she was wronged. But when she was blinded and abused, and she gave birth to the little tiger, she didn't feel aggrieved at all. Yes, she didn't feel wronged, because she always thought that Xiaohuzi's father was the gentle and elegant man in white, and she was sad to learn that he was not, but she still didn't feel wronged.

She likes Xiaohuzi, and it was God who gave her such a lovely gift to come to her to accompany her through the future.

Now, knowing that he is Xiaohuzi's father in front of him, and knowing that he is also forced to treat her like that, for her, the little hatred hidden in her heart for being violated by a strange man suddenly dissipated. It's not that she is shameless, she doesn't care about the face of her daughter's family, and she forgives him so easily.

It's that she feels that there is no need to hate a person who has already known her mistakes, she has to live her life with resentment, and she is unhappy, so why bother?

It's better to live happily with your children and fathers.

"Let's go, the past is over, and now I, my father, and the children are living well." What will happen to the father if you marry him? In any case, she would not leave her father to go with him, "Xiu'er, listen to Duan Gongzi's words, take Xiaohuzi and go with him, Dad has nothing to do, Dad is in good health now and can take care of himself." When you think about your father, you will take the little tiger back to see your father and be obedient. ”

"Dad, I don't want to, I don't want to leave you with Xiaohuzi!"

Qiaoxiu shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes.

Xiaohuzi blinked his big bright eyes, and when he saw his mother crying, his mouth was deflated, and he also cried. Father Mu sighed, raised his sleeves, wiped them in the corners of his eyes, and said, "Xiu'er, if you don't want your father to be angry, just take Xiaohuzi and Duan Gongzi away." Otherwise, Dad will only be a daughter without you! "It's not that he is ruthless, but he doesn't have many years to live, and if he goes, how will they live as orphans and widows? He's not at ease! Duan Gongzi has a good character, and besides, with His Royal Highness the King of Xian, their mother and son should not suffer in Duan Mansion, Father Mu turned around and walked out of the door, squatted at the door, took out his cigarette pouch, and smoked.

Qiaoxiu picked up Xiaohuzi and got up, walked to Daddy Mu's side, and said with tears in her eyes: "Dad, don't be angry, I listen to you, I listen to you." "Dad is for the good of her and Xiaohuzi, she knows the way, she really knows the way, but she really doesn't worry about him staying here alone.

However, big families have the rules of big families, how can a daughter marry and bring her father to marry together.

No, not even in the small mountain village she was in, let alone in the city.

If she wanted her father not to be angry, she had to take Xiaohuzi and go with this man surnamed Duan.

After cleaning up a little, Qiaoxiu hugged Xiaohuzi and left the village with Duan Qisheng.

The carriage was hired in the town, and Qiaoxiu held Xiaohuzi and looked in the direction of her house, but she didn't get into the carriage.

The drizzle fell from the sky, Duan Qisheng stepped forward and said, "I will bring you back from time to time." Qiaoxiu nodded, hugged Xiaohuzi and got into the carriage.

The carriage moved forward slowly, Duan Qisheng rode his horse, and let Yusi wet his face.

Qiaoxiu gently lifted the car curtain, saw him in the wind and rain, his eyes were clear, he turned his head to look at her, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, revealing a very shallow smile.

Her heart suddenly stopped wandering.

Facing him, his eyes were soft, and he smiled lightly.

Such a simple smile made Duan Qisheng's heart feel endless warmth. He got on his horse, took a deep breath, calmed down, turned his head, and moved on.

He told himself in his heart that he wanted to be good to Qiaoxiu's mother and son, if it weren't for him, Qiaoxiu would not be separated from his father. However, when he returned to Jizhou, the elders of the clan forced each other to die, and he failed to give Qiaoxiu the title of wife, and only made her a flat wife, for which he felt deeply sorry for Qiaoxiu and the child......

The cold night wind suddenly blew, Duan Qisheng couldn't help but shudder, and his thoughts gradually converged.

Looking at the bright moon, he murmured silently: "Yang'er, can you blame your father?" Blame Dad for not being able to pass on the family business to you in the future? After a long time, he walked to the door of the house.

The girl took away the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Duan Haoyang raised his eyes and looked at his mother, "Mother, have you ever regretted marrying your father?" ”

Qiaoxiu shook her head, sighed, and said, "When your father found our mother and son, the moment I made my choice, I never regretted it. Saying that, she looked at Duan Haoyang with kind eyes, "At that time, your grandfather wanted me to agree to him, and the prince and the emperor must have spent a lot of time to help our family find your father, I can't ignore their good intentions." Besides, seeing that you are so promising now, I don't feel that I made the wrong choice in the first place. "Yes, she doesn't regret leaving Mujia Village with him, and she doesn't regret being his wife.

A flat wife is just an identity, and this identity is enough to match her, and she is far from being his flat wife.

"If I feel that I have any regrets, that is, it is the family business of the Duan family, because of my identity, I don't have your share, I'm sorry, my mother is sorry for you! Don't blame your dad for this! ”

Possessions? He didn't care at all.

In Duan Haoyang's deep and restrained eyes, the light circulating was all indifferent.

Three years ago, he inadvertently got acquainted with Han, and the industry he worked hard with and Ye Lei was not comparable to the Duan family's family business at all. The industries under the gate of Xingyue Palace are all over the country, and the three of them have joined forces to develop the industrial chain based on the "No. 1 Village in the World", which is not weak.

"Mother, don't worry, I don't care about that, and I won't blame my father!" The smile on Duan Haoyang's face was very real, without a trace of disguise, Qiaoxiu could see it clearly, she sighed, and said: "Niang Zhilu said that you are a good boy, over the years, the idle prince has taught you a lot, you have to follow Ye Lei's son well, and repay the kindness of the idle prince!" ”

Duan Haoyang smiled and said, "That's natural. The idle prince is very good to me, and sometimes it is so good that it will make Ye Lei jealous! Qiaoxiu followed with a smile: "The idle prince is very good, if he hadn't met him back then, maybe, maybe the mother might have gone to a dead end!" Duan Haoyang got up, walked behind Qiaoxiu, hugged her lightly with both hands, and said, "Mother, you won't still think about the idle prince in your heart until now, if this is the case, I think the old man will definitely be jealous!" ”

"Pure nonsense!" Qiaoxiu scolded Duan Haoyang, raised her hand and patted the back of his hand, "The relationship between Prince Xian and Princess Xian is the same as the relationship between Emperor Mo and the Empress, and it is also enviable!" If the world was monogamous, how good would you say! ”

"Mother, I can tell that Dad likes you. As for the main house, you don't have to think about it! Duan Haoyang comforted his mother, and then said: "The child will make the mother's life better and better, and the child will also make the mother proud of the child, mother, you wait, this day will not be too far away!" ”

"Mother is proud of you now!" Qiaoxiu said with a smile.

The Duan family's mansion, in the house of Duan Qisheng's wife.

"Mother, Dad, he won't come back when he goes to the outer house today, right?" It was Duan Haoze, the son of Duan Qisheng's wife, who spoke, "If you don't come back, you won't come back!" He sat on the couch, sighed, and whispered back to his son.

She knew her place in Duan Qisheng's heart.

Between them, they respect each other like guests, and there is no trace of children's affection.

She couldn't guess what was going on in his mind. She only knew that he did not like her to be close, but fortunately, in the newlywed*, he got drunk and had sex with her, so that she had twins in one fell swoop, and after ten months, gave birth to a son and a daughter.

Since then, he has been sleeping in his room for half a month, but he never sleeps with her, but on the couch by the window.

Was he good to her?

Very good, the power of the family is in her hands, all the maids and servants in the house are under the discipline of one of her female masters, in person, he respects her, and in private, he is polite to her.

Hehe, speaking of which, he's really good, and it's hard to find out who isn't. But that's not what she wants! She is a woman, and she wants her husband's care and affection, but he doesn't give her anything at all!

Resentful? Hate him?

She has no way to complain, and she has no way to hate!

It's just because he is really good enough to their mother and son!

"Mother, otherwise, I will go to the outer house to call my father back, and I will say that you are unwell."

Duan Haoze gave He an idea.

He is a son-in-law, and everything in the future of the Duan family will be his, but he just doesn't feel at ease, he always feels that everything will be taken away by his half-brother.

And the father, from his eyes, he only saw sternness when he was a child, and he never saw him smile, or praise him as a son.

Could it be that he gave all his love and love to the mother and son in the outer house?

He shook his head, "No." Your father is really good to your mother, and he is also very good to your brothers and sisters. He has so many things to do every day, and he has nothing to do when he goes out to relax. Duan Haoze got up from the chair, walked back and forth in the house a few times, paused and said: "Mother, I always feel that the mother and son in the outer house want to take away their father and take away everything from us, you say, am I thinking too much?" ”

"Silly boy, what is yours is yours, and no one can take it away. Besides, isn't this your father here, don't think about it, it's important to study your homework well, isn't it not long before you have to take the scientific exam! He said to Duan Haoze with a smile.

Duan Haoze frowned, sat back on the chair, and said, "But every time I see him walking with the prince of Xianwang, my heart is tight. Saying that, Duan Haoze was a little indignant, "Mother, haven't you seen it, he is even better to the Xianwang prince than to my own brother, and the Xianwang prince is like a brother to him, every time I see them walking side by side on the street, I can't wait to rush up and separate them!" ”

He frowned slightly, looked at Duan Haoze for a while, and said very seriously: "Don't do anything stupid!" Listen to your father, your second mother and the idle prince have known each other for a long time, so your eldest brother and the idle prince are closer, and we have nothing to say. ”

"What's the second mother, she's just a country girl. Dad and Xian Wang Ye somehow met her, and they were married into the mansion by their father......" When He heard Duan Haoze say this, his face suddenly turned cold, and said: "Can you talk about Xian Wang Ye and your father casually?" You have to remember that your second mother was the first to enter the door, if it weren't for the elders of the clan who thought she was from the countryside and prevented your father from marrying her as a wife, she would be the head of the Duan family! ”

Duan Qisheng did not talk about what happened between him and Qiaoxiu in detail with anyone.

When he married Qiaoxiu and entered the door, he simply mentioned it to his parents, saying that Qiaoxiu was his life-saving benefactor and the woman he wanted to protect all his life. In doing so, he naturally thought about Qiaoxiu's reputation.

Even if someone doesn't believe it, go to Qiaoxiu's hometown to inquire, who dares to question him in front of him?

Duan Haoze snorted: "What can you do if you are in the first door, you can't only be a father's wife!" Duan Qisheng walked to the courtyard of the He family, and wanted to say something, he stayed in the study at night to sleep, and the maid and servant woman who was guarding outside the He family house saw him and wanted to salute him, but he raised his hand to stop him, seeing him like this, the maid and servant all lowered their heads, and there was a chill all over their bodies.

In the house, the second son and his wife are talking, if the master hears something that should not be heard, what should I do?

"Hira wife, what's wrong with Ping Wife?" Duan Qisheng walked to the door of He's house, and heard Duan Haoze's somewhat disdainful voice, his face immediately became gloomy, and he lifted the curtain and entered He's house, "The concubine has seen the master!" He got up from the couch and hurriedly saluted Duan Qisheng. Daddy......"

Duan Haoze's face turned pale, and he hurriedly stood up from the chair, lowered his head, and was flustered.

"Have you Erniang and your eldest brother ever done anything to be sorry for you?" Duan Qisheng asked Duan Haoze in a deep voice.

"Nope." Duan Haoze shook his head, "Since they haven't done anything to be sorry for you, why are you insulting them behind your back?" You are a son-in-law, and your eldest brother is also a son-in-law, don't think that your second mother is a flat wife, so you don't take their mother and son in your eyes! Seeing that Duan Qisheng was angry, He said loudly: "Master, Ze'er, he was just a quick talker, so he would say something disrespectful to his sister, don't worry, I will teach him not to make mistakes again!" ”

Duan Qisheng has always given the face of the He family, he glanced at Duan Haoze coldly, and said: "Spend more time on your schoolwork, so as not to lose the face of the ancestors of the Duan family!" Duan Haoze nodded again and again, and responded: "Yes!" He breathed a sigh of relief, took the tea cup brought by the girl, presented it to Duan Qisheng in person, and said with a smile: "It's freezing outside, master drink a cup of tea to warm up!" ”

Duan Qisheng nodded, took the tea cup in He's hand, sat on the chair and took a sip, then put the cup on the table, and said, "This is Qiaoxiu's birthday, and I went over to have a meal with their mother and son." He stood beside him, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Master should do this." ”

"I persuaded her and Yang'er to move back to the mansion to live ......" said, Duan Qisheng didn't say any more, and suddenly made the hearts of the He family and Duan Haoze mention, the other house moved back to live, then, what should they do? Could it be that he really planned to hand over the family business to the son of the Mu family as Ze'er said? He's heart was in turmoil, but her face didn't show any inappropriateness, she smiled and said, "The master should have persuaded my sister and eldest son to move back to the mansion!" Duan Qisheng sighed, "Qiaoxiu didn't agree, she said that she and Yang'er were used to living in that house, and she said that she wouldn't agree to move back to live in anything." ”

He Shi's heart immediately let go, "Otherwise, the concubine will go to help the master persuade my sister tomorrow!" Duan Qisheng waved his hand, "No, she thinks it's comfortable to live there, so let her be!" After greeting with He, Duan Qisheng got up and walked to the door, turned around and said, "I still have some affairs to deal with in my study, so I won't go back to sleep in the house tonight." ”

"The concubine knows the way." He Shi's eyes were a little gloomy, but the words that came out of his mouth did not have any personal emotions in them.

The footsteps in the courtyard walked away, Duan Haoze caressed He Shi to sit on the couch, and said, "Mother, you tell your son, has my father rarely made love to you for so many years?" He blushed and glanced at Duan Haoze, "What do you care about the matter between me and your father?" Besides, don't you see that your father is kind to me? You, you should learn from your sister, look at her, there is nothing to do in the courtyard to learn calligraphy and painting, female red or something, never think about anything else. But what about you, you think about something that you don't have! ”

"Mother, don't you know what your sister is thinking?" Raising his hand and rubbing his nose, Duan Haoze smiled mysteriously, He Shi looked at him puzzled, and said, "What can she think?" She's not too young, it's time to tell her about her family. Duan Haoze sat on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and the smile on his face was even more mysterious, "Mother, my sister has someone in her heart, I'm afraid that she won't look at the relatives you and your father are looking for." ”

He's heart suddenly burst out, and he hurriedly asked: "She stays in the boudoir all day, and she hasn't been to the mansion much, how can there be someone in her heart?" Do not talk nonsense, lest you tarnish your sister's reputation. Duan Haoze sat upright, and the smile on his face became bright, "Mother, my sister's heart has long been placed on the current emperor. Do you think there is any man in the world who can compare with the emperor? After a pause, Duan Haoze said again: "Emperor Mo once said that there is only one wife for the empress in his life, and he also made a rule, that is, he and the descendants of the empress should be like them, only one person will accompany each other in their lives, and they will grow old hand in hand!" In this way, which woman in the world doesn't want to marry the emperor? The look on He's face immediately sank, and he said, "How could Zhi'er have that unreachable mind?" The emperor is high, and if she wants to enter the palace to be the queen's woman, she is the daughter of the minister in the court, I am afraid that there are already many people who can squeeze her head, and no matter how much she turns, it will not be her turn. ”

"Mother, what you said is not right, our Duan family is also a dignified family, how can my sister not have the opportunity to marry the emperor?" He Shi glanced at Duan Haoze coldly and said, "I said that you should think less about what you don't have, it's good for you, not only do you think about it yourself, but also say something in front of your sister?" Which woman does the emperor want to marry as the queen, I think that the emperor and the empress have already counted in their hearts, and after this one, you will rarely mention the emperor's affairs in front of your sister. ”

Duan Haoze smiled and said, "Mother, the emperor is young, his ability is extraordinary, and he looks like a god in the sky, a noble man like him, even if I don't talk much in front of my sister, do you think my sister hasn't heard anything from other people's mouths?" He said: "Ming, I will pass on the word, if anyone in the house dares to talk more, he will be driven out of the house directly." ”

"Mother, if you do this, it will probably be useless."

"It's better to do nothing than nothing." He Shi said, opened his mouth and yawned, looked at Duan Haoze and said, "It's not early, go back to your courtyard and rest!" ”

"Oh." Duan Haoze responded, got up and saluted He's and said, "Mother, then you rest, the child will leave." ”

He hummed softly, lay down on the couch, and his eyes were gently closed.

The moonlight is cool, and on the most prosperous main street in Gyeongju City, the lights of various restaurants and inns are still bright.

In a private room on the second floor of the "Rongxing Restaurant", Xuanyuan Tianling was dressed in an extremely ordinary ink shirt, sitting at the table with a handsome young man who looked a little younger than him at the age of a year, drinking and chatting.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" As the hearty male voice sounded, I saw Duan Haoyang walking in from outside the door of the private room, "This is my mother's birthday, I will accompany her to eat, and then I talked for a while, and I missed the time to make an appointment with the two of you, forgive me!" Sitting on the chair, Duan Haoyang smiled all over his face, and apologized to Xuanyuan Tianling and the young man beside him.

Xuanyuan Lingling smiled lightly, poured him full of wine, and said, "It is appropriate to accompany my mother to have a birthday dinner." Even if you don't come today, Ye Lei and I won't mind it! ”

"Han, you're so good to me!" Duan Haoyang hooked his lips and smiled, and threw a very charming look at Xuanyuan Tianling, which made the young man next to Xuanyuan Tianling squirt out the wine he had just drunk in his mouth, "Ha Lu! Haoyang, you, don't be like this, this affects your image as a gentle and graceful son! ”

"That's for outsiders to see, in front of you and Han, do I need to be so tired?" Duan Haoyang picked up the wine cup in front of him, raised his head and drank it all, and said, "Han, do you have something to tell me?" ”

Xuanyuan Tianling clenched his fists to cover his lips and coughed lightly, the young man beside him hurriedly put down the wine cup in his hand, got up and walked to Duan Haoyang's side, and whispered a few words in his ear, only to see Duan Haoyang After listening to his words, his expression was slightly stagnant, but he returned to nature in an instant, he looked at Xuanyuan Tianling and said: "Han, even if Ye Lei doesn't say it, in terms of your identity, I guess it is not far from ten." As he spoke, he got up, the expression on his face became solemn, and he waved his hand to greet Xuanyuan, so he heard Xuanyuan Lingling say: "I concealed my identity from you because I really wanted to make you a friend." If you abide by the rules like this, we can still have some real feelings between us! "Getting acquainted with Duan Haoyang, Yu Xuanyuan Lingling, it can really be regarded as fate, at the first sight of him, he felt that Duan Haoyang was a young man and an old man, a rare talent, not only humorous, but also a smart head, therefore, he got acquainted with Duan Haoyang through Yuwen Yelei, and the three of them secretly built their business kingdom together.

Externally, Duan Haoyang is the mysterious owner of the "No. 1 Village in the World", who claims to be the owner and runs the industry in the hands of the three of them.

In private, the relationship between him and Xuanyuan Lingling and Yuwen Yelei is as close as a brother.

"Emperor ......" Before the title in Duan Haoyang's mouth was called, he was glared at by Xuanyuan Lingling, and immediately stopped this noble title in his mouth, Yuwen Yelei said with a smile: "Haoyang, my brother has said so, if you continue to see the outside like this, it will be hypocritical!" ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you, in private, we're still as casual as we want." Duan Haoyang was a cheerful one, as he spoke, he lifted the hem of his robe, sat down on the chair, raised his eyebrows and looked at Xuanyuan Lingling, and then what he said before, and said, "Han, tell me, what are you going to tell me about this time!" ”
