The matter was thoroughly investigated and the dust settled.

The emperor asked, "Now that the child has been retrieved, what are your next steps?" ”

Xu Jingxi can't be allowed to wander outside all the time.

Fang Qingdai and Second Master Xie looked at Xu Jingxi at the same time: "Are you willing to go home with me?" ”

The two of them almost spoke in unison, they didn't expect it, and when they looked at each other, they both saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes.

Fang Qingdai hated Xie Dizhi's eight or nine years, hated him for not being able to control it, and neglected for a while, allowing the gangsters to succeed and having children with others.

Originally, it was said that old age and death would not get along, but now she understands that it is an oolong, and she doesn't know what kind of attitude to use to face Xie Dizhi.

Xie Dizhi pursed his thin lips and looked at Xu Jingxi: "Child, this choice is handed over to you, we all owe you something, no matter who you choose, we will do our best to take care of you." ”

Shen Ningning privately clenched his little hands into fists and quietly shook and cheered: "Choose my second uncle, be my third brother, be my third brother~"

Listening to her soft little milk voice, Mo Lingwei couldn't help but sneer.

He looked sideways at Shen Ningning and said, "I don't think Xu Jingxi will choose anyone." ”

Sure enough, the next second after Mo Lingwei finished speaking, Xu Jingxi gave up his hand to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, no one wants to choose." ”

Fang Qingdai and Xie Dizhi fell into astonishment at the same time.

The emperor frowned: "Xu Jingxi, you are talented, smart and smart, you are a good seedling, if you return to the family, it will be of great benefit to your growth." ”

However, Xu Jingxi shook his head: "The grass people are used to living with their grandfather. ”

As he spoke, he turned to Fang Qingdai and Xie Dizhi.

"If you really want to make up for me, just give this compensation to Grandpa Xu, he has worked hard all his life, and he didn't leave me behind in the most difficult times, he is the person I need to be grateful for and take care of the most."

Fang Qingdai's eyes were red: "Okay, okay, I'll depend on you." ”

Xie Dizhi's expression was a little gloomy, and Xie Suzhi patted him on the shoulder: "Give the child a little time." ”

That's how he came over.

It's really strange to think about it like this, the Xie family has been having ups and downs since the third child, as if they were being targeted by someone, and the children after the third line have a very bad life.

Xie Suzhi keenly sensed that something was wrong, and secretly wrote it down, waiting for the investigation.

After the incident, Shen Ningning was pulled by his father to thank him, and then left the palace.

Mo Lingwei knew that she wanted to deal with the aftermath, so he didn't keep her and sent Shen Ningning and them outside the palace gate.

After getting into the carriage, Shen Ningning looked at Xu Jingxi with blank eyes.

"Are you really not here to be my third brother? The family is good now, the elder brother is calm, the stinky second brother is a punching bag, just send a particularly good you to be my third brother! ”

Xie Suzhi smiled and touched his daughter's head.

Xu Jingxi's expression was indifferent, and he also had a warm smile.

"Actually, this choice doesn't lie with me at all."

Shen Ningning tilted his little head in confusion.

Xu Jingxi didn't say much, and when he was sent to Grandpa Xu's village, he said goodbye and left.

Looking at his pine-like figure, a sigh crossed Xie Suzhi's eyes.

"Daddy, what do you mean by that? Didn't the second uncle let him choose? ”

"Xu Jingxi is still thinking about his parents." Xie Suzhi looked at his daughter and patiently explained.

It was never a question of who he wanted to choose, if it had been so easy, he wouldn't have been homeless back then.

Rather, how should his identity be announced to the world?

followed Fang Qingdai, how did he face that group of Liang Jiajun and the people of the world?

General Liang's bones are not cold, if the world knows that the children he raised are not his own, how will the world accuse Fang Qingdai?

If Xie Dizhi is chosen, how can you explain whose son he is?

Second Mrs. Xie has just been convicted and imprisoned, and was sentenced to peace by the emperor's decree, when a person appeared on him, how would the world speculate about Xie Dizhi?

Xu Jingxi just thought too much, he thought about everyone's feelings, but ignored his own.

Shen Ningning listened to his father's explanation before he understood.

The round little face is a little lonely and gloomy.

"Xu Jingxi must also want to have a home horn." It's really hard to live without a father and mother!

Xie Suzhi patted the little guy's hand: "The follow-up of this matter, you don't have to worry, Dad went to discuss it with your second uncle." ”

Shen Ningning nodded.

After Xie Yuanjiu was executed, many people in the capital were in an uproar.

Everyone speculated what the reason was, but they only heard that Xie Yuanjiu offended the emperor and did something that was not tolerated by heaven.

Even her mother, Mrs. Xie Er, was imprisoned for five years, and Xie Erye also begged for a piece of paper and a letter of departure.

There is a lot of speculation in the capital.

Sure enough, many people think that now that Fang Qingdai is back, Second Master Xie must be looking for an opportunity to leave his wife and daughter behind and rekindle his warmth with his old love.

On this day, after having a secret conversation with Xie Suzhi, Second Master Xie mustered up the courage and asked someone to bring a message to Fang Qingdai, hoping to meet her.

In the drizzling rain, the two came to the national temple again.

In the meditation room, it was extremely quiet, and there was a square table between the two, on which a smoky sandalwood incense was lit.

The swirling smoke blurred the faces of Xie Dizhi and Fang Qingdai.

“…… Qing Dai," Xie Dizhi took the initiative to speak: "The truth of the matter is revealed, for so many years, we have misunderstood for too long, I invited you here today to discuss with you, what should the two children do in the future, they are my blood, I won't care, but everything, or listen to your decision." ”

Fang Qingdai's expression was much haggard compared to the previous few days, and the two circles under her eyes were jet black, which was very obvious.

Xie Dizhi heard that she has been going to Grandpa Xu these days to chat with Xu Jingxi, and the child is very good, but unfortunately, she is not close to her at all, and she does not want to leave with her.

The gifts that Fang Qingdai brought, except for the ones that Grandpa Xu could use, and the rest of the things for Xu Jingxi were all rejected by him.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes in pain.

"Erlang," she called out his old name, "do you know why, after I was disheartened with you, I was still willing to give birth to the child?" ”

Xie Di's thin eyes looked at her tightly: "I don't know." ”

Fang Qingdai opened her eyes again: "Because I want to admit that when I left, I thought I was dead to you, but when I found out that I was pregnant, I had a ridiculous idea for a while, thinking that giving birth to our child would not completely cut off contact with you." ”

At this, she smiled wryly and shook her head.

"In the first few months of going to Lion's Head City, I had a very painful life, on the one hand, I had a serious pregnancy reaction, and I had to hide it from the soldiers in the army, so that they could not see the clues; On the one hand, it is the hatred and need for you, how I wish at that time, you can be by my side. ”

"We said that we would go to Lion's Head City together and expand the territory of Cangyun Country to a hundred miles away, I remember these promises, but when I stood on Lion's Head City, I found that you lost your word."

Xie Dizhi's thin eyes were red, and he wanted to hold Fang Qingdai's hand, but she hid back.

"I'm sorry." In the end, all he could say was a weak apology.

Fang Qingdai's tears came shallowly, after nine years, looking at the young man she loved in the past, she was also tortured by time, and lost her arrogant and arrogant youthfulness.

She smiled bitterly and shook her head: "We're all not doing well, maybe it's fate." ”

"But I have already made a decision about the two children, Erlang, I hope you can keep it a secret for me, these two children are still Liang Shi's children to the outside world."

"Liang Shi is very good to me, he knows that these two children are yours, and he still takes good care of me and the children, without complaint, he is dead now, I can't let him down."

When Xie Dizhi heard this, he was shocked, and the rain curtain outside the window set off water vapor, staining his black sideburns. (End of chapter)
