Chapter 146: The Estrangement Between Father and Daughter
Zhu Zhuqing raised his head and stared at the majestic plaque in front of him, the words on it were both familiar and unfamiliar to Zhu Zhuqing, and there was no joy on his face.
After a few years, he came back, and Zhu Zhuqing stopped for a long time and did not take a step forward.
"Third Miss, it's Third Miss, Third Miss is back."
The gatekeeper was excited when he saw Zhu Zhuqing for the first time, and shouted while running into the gate.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyebrows rose slightly, which was very different from the treatment he received at home.
After a short time, the housekeeper of the Zhu Mansion led a few maids to step out quickly, trotted in front of Zhu Zhuqing, and bowed respectfully.
"Third Miss!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, and the housekeeper said while leading the way in front.
"Third Miss, are you going to see the head of the house now or go back to the courtyard to rest first?"
Zhu Zhuqing stopped, looking at the housekeeper with a confused look, this is a question for himself.
"What do you say?"
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was not loud, but the deterrent power was enough, and the housekeeper subconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhu Zhuqing.
His body also trembled a little, and he didn't know when he was afraid of Zhu Zhuqing, maybe he had heard too many legends about the young lady in front of him recently.
"The old slave is talkative! Please forgive me! ”
For a housekeeper, Zhu Zhuqing is not so concerned.
"Alright, lead the way!"
The butler did not say anything more, but led the way respectfully, cautiously, lest one of his actions would cause this formerly inconspicuous young lady to trouble you.
The housekeeper led Zhu Zhuqing to the place where Zhu Yuntian was waiting, made a gesture of please, and stood respectfully at the gate of the courtyard.
"Third Miss, please!"
Zhu Zhuqing did not respond, and naturally stepped into the small courtyard.
Zhu Yuntian walked over with a smile, his words were full of concern, compared to Zhu Zhuqing a few years ago, he felt that Zhu Yuntian in front of him was very unfamiliar.
"Zhuqing, you can be regarded as back, let Dad take a good look at you."
Zhu Yuntian looked at Zhu Zhuqing carefully, but Zhu Zhuqing felt uncomfortable.
Perhaps Zhu Yuntian also noticed this, and the smile on his face gradually became embarrassing.
"...... of the year"
Before Zhu Yuntian finished speaking, he paused slightly, he was observing the changes in Zhu Zhuqing's expression.
But Zhu Zhuqing behaved very calmly, and he didn't see any strange thoughts. This made Zhu Yuntian not know where to start for a while, let alone have no reason to continue.
"Dad thought I was dead!"
Just one sentence made Zhu Yuntian's scalp tingle, and he felt harsh when he heard it.
Zhu Yuntian denied it: "No, Dad never believed that you were dead, and he once went out to look for you, but there has been no news from you." Zhuqing, you know, Dad really misses you. ”
Zhu Zhuqing was still expressionless, for Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Yuntian did not give her father warmth.
At first, she didn't understand why, she wanted to ask but didn't know how. doesn't have that ability, and now Zhu Zhuqing clearly knows that he still needs to find the answer himself.
"Dad, there is a question that has been hidden in my heart for a long time, I wonder if you can solve my confusion today?"
Zhu Yuntian suddenly came to his senses, and he felt that he had a chance to ease the relationship with Zhu Zhuqing.
Now that the situation is becoming more and more obvious, only this daughter can bring a better bright future to the Zhu family.
Zhu Yuntian now pressed the treasure on Zhu Zhuqing, which he guessed from Dai Mubai when Zhu Zhuyun was sent to the bitter cold land.
This is also why when he first entered the house, he never saw that his housekeeper would take the initiative to welcome and lead the way, if this was placed in the past, Zhu Zhuqing would not have dreamed of it.
"If you ask, Dad will tell you anything he knows."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"I wonder why you were so cold to me before, and if it was because my mother's death had something to do with me?"
There was only a vague figure in Zhu Zhuqing's mind, the figure that made her feel at ease and comfortable, yes, it was her mother.
But there is very little or no information about his mother in his memory, and since he really remembers, the people in the house have an attitude of avoiding Zhu Zhuqing.
It's like seeing a plague god, which is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yuntian doesn't care much about Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Yuntian's expression changed instantly, his eyes wandered, and he wanted to say something a few times but swallowed it back.
"Is that a difficult question to answer?" Zhu Zhuqing could think of only this reason, even if he raised Gu, he would not give up when the Gu worm was still young.
But Zhu Yuntian just gave up Zhu Zhuqing, even if it was Zhu Zhuxue, who was the least talented, Zhu Yuntian cared more about her than Zhu Zhuqing.
"Yes!"
Zhu Yuntian's answer made Zhu Zhuqing's head explode instantly, she thought about it, but Zhu Zhuqing was very uncomfortable when she really got such an answer.
Zhu Zhuqing moved his body without a master, and his steps moved with some difficulty.
"I did blame you for this all these years, but a few years ago, when you went out to hunt for soul rings and fell off a cliff, I realized that this should not be the reason to blame you, I regret it, but what I waited for was your death. I wanted to make amends, but it was too late. ”
Zhu Yuntian's tears actually flowed from his eyes, and Zhu Zhuqing didn't listen to his words.
"Well, now that you're alive, I believe it's your mother's spirit in heaven who blesses you. It is also so that I can make up for the debt I owed you back then. ”
"No, you don't owe me anything, my mother died because of me, and you should blame me. It's just that I was still young and I can't remember some things clearly, can you tell me? ”
"Don't talk about those sad pasts, now your safe return is more important than anything else, it's not early, rest early, and talk about it tomorrow."
Zhu Zhuqing saw that Zhu Yuntian was sad, and she didn't care, and at the same time, she was also in a bad mood at the moment, and she didn't notice some changes in Zhu Yuntian.
With the answer he thought he had gotten, Zhu Zhuqing returned to the small courtyard after a few years of absence.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was in a complicated mood, had just stepped into the small courtyard, and a person who made Zhu Zhuqing feel very cordial and deeply relied on appeared in front of her.
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't care less, threw himself into Yang Yun's arms, and cried bitterly.
Yang Yun gently stroked Zhu Zhuqing's back. While comforting: "Zhuqing, what's wrong?" ”
"Teacher, it's all my fault."
Yang Yun was confused, she had never seen Zhu Zhuqing in such a state.
"Zhuqing, tell me something."
has never been like this when he came out of the imperial city, so it can be seen that Zhu Yuntian has become like this?
What is the reason for this? Yang Yun was eager to know that she had sneaked into Zhu's house to see Zhu Zhuqing. It seems that she doesn't want people to see her come to Zhu's house!
Zhu Zhuqing recounted the conversation with Zhu Yuntian just now.
The more Yang Yun listened, the more angry she became, Zhu Zhuqing thought it was because of herself at first, but later found out that the reason why Yang Yun was angry was definitely not what she thought.
