Chapter 255: Don't Coax Me (Second Watch)
The things that I have been haunting in my heart are actually caused by myself.
He even resented his father for so many years, feeling that he had given up on him and his mother.
No matter who you are, if you know this fact at first glance, you are afraid that you will not be able to stand it.
Shen Qing frowned imperceptibly, glanced at Yu Zihan carefully, and saw that although his phoenix eyes trembled slightly, his expression was quite calm, so he continued, "The reason for this incident is not you, my mother told you all these things, not because I want you to feel guilty because of this."
If you really want to say it, it is that your father and mother have not done a good job and cannot give you a peaceful and joyful growth environment, after all, no child will hope that as soon as he is born, he will be surrounded by swords and swords and intrigues.
Mother told you these things because she felt that you could accept and understand it with your current heart, and secondly, she hoped that you would understand your father better.
He never didn't love you, he didn't love his mother, he just wasn't a perfect father. β
After she finished speaking, the young man in front of her was already red-eyed, as if he was desperately suppressing some feelings, and said in a dumb voice: "I never asked him to be a perfect father, I just hope that he can care more about me and ...... Talk to me more. β
He used to admire his father very much, and his relationship with him was very close.
It's just that I don't know when my father has always been busy with official business, and he is not very willing to talk to him, often he seizes all the time to follow him, squeaking about the big and small things that happened in the day, he nodded silently, and replied a few "um".
Looking at Jiang Zitao and Uncle Cheng Yi getting along, he often couldn't help but be envious, and couldn't help but think, why couldn't his father be like Uncle Cheng Yi, care more about him and talk to him more.
Doesn't his father actually like him at all, and even ...... Think he's bored?
His father didn't tell him the inside story when he was just a child at the time, he understood, but in fact, as long as his father was gentle with him and willing to reveal more truths to him, he would believe him.
Nor will it be ...... and he drifted away and misunderstood him for so many years.
Looking at the desperately suppressed grievances on Yu Zihan's face, Shen Qing couldn't help but feel distressed, and said, "So I said, your father also has something to do not do his job."
Of course, I'm not saying that I'm not at fault at all, after all, if I hadn't heard from me back then, your father wouldn't have changed his mind so much, and he wouldn't even be able to take care of you......"
Yu Zihan hurriedly said: "I know that there must be a reason why my mother left back then. β
Shen Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but smile: "Yes, just like your father never gave up on me and you, I never gave up on you and your father."
Fortunately, it's still too late, and the relationship between you and your father has eased a lot during this time, and I'm very happy to watch from the sidelines.
You don't have to worry that the Chen family's idea will succeed, and your father will never do anything that will make me sad. β
Thinking of his suspicion of his father today, Yu Zihan couldn't help but feel a touch of guilt and chagrin on his face, and after a while, he said, "Mother, what I said to you today, can you not tell your father?" I...... I don't want my father to know that I misunderstood him like that......"
Shen Qing touched his head and said, "Okay, mother promises you." β
"Also, the grievances between me and Chen Langjun, I still want to solve them by myself."
Yu Zihan looked at Shen Qing and said, "Tomorrow's dust washing banquet, I won't attend with my father and mother, is it okay?" β
Shen Qing couldn't help but be a little surprised, looked at Yu Zihan for a while, and nodded and said, "Okay, you just need to protect yourself." β
She has decided to let go of Zihan's affairs as much as possible in the future.
At this time, he naturally believes in his son.
Shen Qing rarely talked to his son, didn't pay attention to the time for a while, and when he left Yu Zihan's room, he found that it was already late at night.
Looking at the sky, it was almost the end of the morning (eleven o'clock).
Qing'er walked beside Shen Qing with a lantern and said, "When Madame just left, Yu Xiang looked reluctant, and the slave felt that Yu Xiang was still waiting for Madame." β
Shen Qing couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are so bold that you even dare to ridicule Yu Xiang." β
Qing'er stuck out her tongue playfully, she and Shen Qing have been together for a long time, and her courage is indeed getting bigger and bigger, and she dares to smile when she hears the words: "That lady thinks, is Yu Xiang asleep?" β
Shen Qing looked at the night in front of him and smiled slightly: "Who knows." β
When they returned to their courtyard, they found that it was pitch black in the bedroom, and only an oil lamp was left in the hall outside.
Qing'er was surprised, and couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "Yu Xiang actually fell asleep!" Could it be that Yu Xiang thinks that Mrs. will stay at Xiao Langjun's side tonight? β
Shen Qing looked thoughtfully at the dark bedroom, she didn't think that with the man's current clinginess, she could tolerate her staying with her son.
After a pause, she smiled and said, "If you fall asleep, you will fall asleep, you go and prepare water for me to wash, be quiet, don't wake up Yu Xiang." β
Qing'er responded in a low voice.
Soon, Shen Qing finished washing, took off his coat, and entered the bedroom lightly.
The man slept on the outside as always, leaning sideways with his face facing outward, Shen Qing cautiously crossed him and slept inside, after lying down in the bed, she looked sideways at the broad back left by the man for her, smiled lowly, leaned over and leaned her head on it, and said in a low voice: "I have never seen such a naΓ―ve man as you, just be jealous with your son, and make a child lose his temper." β
The man was motionless at first, but Shen Qing didn't care, rubbed on his back, closed his eyes, breathed long, and looked like he was about to sleep.
But suddenly, the man with his back to her turned around, locked her in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head and whispered: "Knowing that I have a temper, don't coax me." β
It was obviously a childish thing, but his tone was still cold and indifferent, the same as when he spoke in front of his ministers.
Shen Qing finally couldn't help but laugh "poof", reached out to hug him, looked up at his beautifully shaped chin through the clear moonlight, and said, "What if I really don't come back?" β
The man seemed to "snort" in a low voice, and said, "If you don't come back, I'm going to go over to ask for someone, how old is that kid, why do you want your mother to sleep with him." β
Shen Qing chuckled, shrunk into his warm arms, and didn't speak.
After a long while, Yu Jiuqing spoke again, "Did Zihan tell you the reason why he fought with someone today?" Just now, I sent Chen Li to ask Liu Zhao. β
Shen Qing looked at him amusedly, "You guy, if you're worried about your son, just be honest, and you have to act like you don't care." β
Yu Jiuqing was silent, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm just learning about the situation." β
"Okay, okay," Shen Qing didn't bother to demolish him, and yawned delicately: "You don't have to tell me, Zihan has already told me."
We had an in-depth conversation tonight.
Tomorrow you'll be ready for a surprise. β
Yu Jiuqing was slightly stunned and looked down at Shen Qing, "What surprise?" β
saw the woman in his arms smiling sly and movingly, like a seductive vixen, and said word by word: "Secret, secret." Yu Zihan gritted his teeth slightly, and his phoenix eyes were slightly red and said: "I also heard him say to his followers that their family wants to give him his sister to ...... Promise to be a concubine for your father! He said that his sister is beautiful and beautiful, fairy and jade, because she is so beautiful, their family is reluctant to let his sister be casually accepted, so his sister is now eighteen years old and has not yet married.
He said that as long as he was a normal man, it was impossible not to be moved when he saw his sister, let alone ...... What's more, my father took in so many concubines a few years ago, and I think he is also a ...... who likes beauty."
Shen Qing was slightly stunned, and the movements in his hands were also slightly paused.
Qing'er on the side couldn't help but get nervous, she just told her wife about this topic, but she didn't expect that someone in Xizhou was already Yu Xiang's idea!
The Chen family said that there is only one lady who can be beautiful and fragrant, and Mrs. and Yu Xiang may not know each other, but she knows that that lady is indeed amazingly beautiful, not those mundane things.
And what surprised Qing'er the most was that Yu Xiang once accepted a concubine? Have you received a lot?
In the end, this is a frontier town, and the information is not well-informed, except for some big families who have always cared about the political affairs of the Great Qi Dynasty, few ordinary people know that Yu Xiang has ever accepted such a private matter as a concubine.
Qing'er's first reaction was impossible, from last night to today, she has been watching from the side, Yu Zhuang's friendship with Mrs. Yu is obviously not fake, how can she take a concubine!
Moreover, looking at the temperament and ability of the lady, it is not like she can tolerate others sharing her husband with herself!
Yu Zihan bit his lip, every word Chen Hongyi said made people angry, but what really made him impulsive and angry was that he said that their family was going to promise his sister to his father.
For Yu Zihan, he once watched those women occupy their backyard for a long time, and all kinds of intrigue and favor methods emerged one after another, which simply put that disgusting thought on his face, and even many people hit him with ideas.
Although later, Xiangqiao had hinted to him that his father had accepted these women for a reason, and his father did not hesitate to drive those women to Zhuangzi after his mother returned.
But it didn't prevent him from leaving a huge shadow in his heart.
He couldn't help but be angry at the thought that his father might admit other women into their home.
Shen Qing finally figured out the reason why his son was so impulsive, and said funny: "Then the Chen family's ambition is really big enough, we haven't officially made our debut in Xizhou yet, and the little abacus is flying."
It's just that our house can't be entered by any woman......"
Yu Zihan frowned, and suddenly said, "What if my father is willing?" β
Shen Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Yu Zihan thoughtfully, "Do you think your father will be willing?" β
"Who knows."
Yu Zihan pursed his lips, and seemed to be a little angry: "After all, my father didn't accept other women before. β
This kid is so sensitive to this matter, it turns out that he doesn't trust his father.
Shen Qing couldn't help but mourn for the sad old father, looking at the little boy in front of her, she suddenly softened her eyes and said, "I don't blame you, after all, we didn't tell you a lot of things."
I thought that you were still young and immature enough, so I was afraid that you would not be able to accept those things.
But perhaps, it was your father and I who underestimated you too much and protected you too much. β
Yu Zihan was slightly stunned, and unconsciously raised his eyes to look at his mother.
"But these days, you have grown up rapidly, and I realized that blindly protecting is better for you than letting go, you are not a child after all."
Shen Qing raised his hand lovingly and pulled the fine sideburns from the corners of Yu Zihan's forehead behind his ears.
"You are not a child", Shen Qing is not the first time to say this sentence, but it is the first time that she feels so sincerely that the young man in front of her is growing rapidly, and maybe soon, he will not need the protection of his father and mother.
Yu Zihan looked at Shen Qing, pursed the corners of his lips and said with a serious face: "Mother, my father took a concubine back then, but there is something I don't know?" Can Mother tell me, I would like to know. β
Shen Qing nodded, asked Qing'er to prepare a pot of hot tea, and said, "Although your father is not particularly conscientious in many things, he loves you."
Now, you already know that your mother is Lord Xiao Shen who worked with your father to quell the turmoil in Daqi, and you must also know that Sima Heng, the current saint of Daqi, that is, the king of Cheng back then, was once the biggest enemy of his father and mother.
At that time, he had actually become a prisoner of his father and mother, just because the saint at that time could not bear to execute his son, and the father and mother were not too tough, for fear that those who defended the royal family would say that his father and mother would not give the saint a son, so they just abolished King Cheng's legs and reduced him to a commoner and exiled him for nine thousand miles.
Who would have thought that later, King Cheng's house was secretly rescued by Da Liang's people, and at that time, you would probably be ......"
Shen Qing thought for a while and said, "Four or five years old."
Your father knows that Da Liang and King Cheng will definitely not give up Da Qi and will make a comeback one day, so he has been preparing for this.
Who would have thought that Baimi would eventually have a mistake, when you were six years old, you secretly escaped from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you fell into the ambush of Cheng Wang and his party, and almost disappeared. β
Yu Zihan's heart tightened suddenly.
He remembered that at that time, his father gradually began to be busy with government affairs, and he was very lonely and lonely at home every day.
On that day, he remembered that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he was thinking about spending this family reunion with his father, but he didn't expect that his father sent someone over early to say that he couldn't go home tonight.
He hid aside and overheard, only to feel that the expectation in his heart suddenly froze, and in a moment of resentment, he escaped from the guards around him and escaped from the prime minister's mansion.
He couldn't remember what he was thinking, he probably resented his father, and even couldn't help but resent his mother who had left him and disappeared.
Later, he encountered a group of black-clad Assassins, only to this day that he still knew that the Assassins had been sent by Cheng Wang's party.
It's just that why did my mother suddenly talk about it, could it be that my father's concubine was actually related to him?
Seeing Yu Zihan's slightly trembling eyes, Shen Qing unconsciously lowered his voice and said: "That incident has dealt a big blow to your father, he can't wait to find out King Cheng and all the remnants of King Cheng immediately, but it's a pity that they are all hidden very deep and can't easily find clues."
It's just one thing for sure, for King Cheng, the biggest obstacle for him to return to Daqi is your father, and the person he wants to get rid of the most is also your father.
Therefore, he will certainly do everything possible to put their people by your father's side......"
Yu Zihan completely understood at this time.
His voice trembled slightly unconsciously, and said, "That's why my father will accept the woman he thinks may be given to him by someone from the king's party."
Therefore, the reason why the father would take a concubine is actually ...... Is it me? β
