"He went to the prince?" Shen Fengming was taken aback. "Isn't this www.biquge.info...... Throw yourself into the net?"

Xia Zheng sighed: "I'm afraid that everyone will think too much, and the fact that I didn't mention this matter was fundamentally instigated by the prince's party, so the monarch really didn't know the relationship, but I don't know when he had dealt with the prince, according to Mo Lost, the monarch was unhappy, so he went to the prince to complain, wanting to use the prince's interests to force me to change my mind, and even said that if I didn't agree, he would not return to Xiajiazhuang!"

Shen Fengming's brows furrowed slightly. Xia Qi seems to be really paranoid this time, since the incident of Lou Qianshan, he has not dared to connect with the prince, but now for the position of the owner, he actually went to the prince again, and now that the person has fallen into the hands of the prince, he has become a bargaining chip for the prince to blackmail Xiajiazhuang, I don't know it, right?

"So Mo is here to force the owner to change his mind?"

"That's right. Xia Zheng said. He made it very clear that the monarch had promised the prince that if he got the position of the lord of the village, Xiajiazhuang would be the prince's arm in Lin'an City in the future. It's a pity that he is such a big person, he doesn't even have the slightest ability to distinguish right from wrong, he doesn't understand the difference between righteousness and small profit, and he will use himself as a hostage to blackmail his parents, but he doesn't know that this is exactly what the prince is doing!"

Shen Fengming could only be silent, and said for a while: "What is the decision of the owner?"

"I don't know. Xia Zheng said in a hoarse voice. "I really don't know ......"

He paused. "Shen Gongzi, if you were me, what would you do?"

Shen Fengming was speechless. How could Xia Zheng decide what he couldn't decide? If it was him, he wouldn't be able to decide.

This thing finally can't hide from the people in the village, the people in the village are fluctuating because of today's events, and the slightest wind and grass will spread very quickly, and almost everyone knows that this succession to the position of the owner of the village, there is still the possibility of change.

But at the same time, another thing inevitably spread - because in this village, after all, there are still many people who know that Xia Junfang is not Xia Zheng's biological son at all. When this situation happened, it was finally difficult for someone to hold this old thing in their hearts, and I don't know who said it first, and this night in Xiajiazhuang became more and more uproar. Originally, there were some Zhuang family members who were in a dilemma, but most of them naturally fell to Xia Chen's side in their hearts.

——It is not necessarily that Xia Zheng wants to exchange his hundreds of years of Xiajiazhuang for a rebel who is not his own flesh and blood at all, right? In the eyes of onlookers, this is not a choice worth hesitating at all.

Xia Zheng and Chen Rongrong were powerless to prevent the truth of the past from coming out. The husband and wife were already sad, they didn't sleep all night, and when they looked at each other in the morning, they saw each other's eyes were sunken and their faces were pale, and they didn't look so old that they were over fifty years old, as if they had aged ten years overnight.

They really don't know what kind of sin they have created in their previous life that makes the relationship between their children in this life so stormy. The eldest son is separated, separated by a wall, but like the end of the world, and the second son is separated, although he wants to be of the same heart, he cannot be of the same heart.

It was only when they saw their youngest son Xia Junchao in the early morning that the two of them were a little relieved. At least the least, and him.

As soon as Xia Chen entered the couple's room, tears couldn't stop falling. Although this young man's personality and temper are still taking advantage of Xia Zheng's heart, but he is young and ambitious, he can't react to yesterday's incident, and he heard rumors about his brother at night, so he naturally can't sleep well this night, so he came early in the morning to ask clearly. When Chen Rongrong saw him crying, he couldn't help but cry, and the mother and son hugged and cried for a long time before they could say a word.

"Is that what they're talking about true?" Xia Chen cried, still asking. "Big brother's thing—is it true?"

Chen Rongrong hugged him: "It's true." ”

Xia Chen cried even harder: "If my father asked me to succeed the owner of the village for this reason, I don't want it! Let the eldest brother come back, I will accompany my father to Meizhou, and accompany my father and mother to Meizhou!"

Chen Rongrong was dumbfounded. She is not qualified to say a word more about this matter. This past incident is turned out like this, and she, a woman who used to be "red apricot out of the wall", will be pushed to the forefront. She knew that as long as she said any more words, she would be the handle of this Zhuangzi.

She could only turn her head and look at Xia Zheng.

Xia Zheng had already stepped forward. "Jun Chao, don't cry. As he said this, he held back tears. "Dad has decided, this matter, there is no change. ”

"Yifeng?" Chen Rongrong looked at him, as if trying to make sure of his answer.

"I thought about it all night, and now it's decided. Xia Zheng said hoarsely. "If it weren't for the fact that he ran to the prince without permission yesterday, I might have been more painful and hesitant, but now...... I figured it out. I hope again and again that he can become sensible and get rid of those wayward faults, but what is the result? He is becoming more and more ignorant, and he is becoming more and more unable to bear this family. If I let him take care of this Zhuangzi, it will be tantamount to destroying Xiajiazhuang with my own hands. Jun Chao, it's not because your eldest brother is not my biological child that I gave up on him, but I-I don't want the dignified Xiajiazhuang to become a lackey of others instead-no one's own, not the prince, and certainly not anyone else. I know that after we leave, you will have to endure all this alone, but Daddy believes in you, and you will not disappoint Daddy. ”

"But what about the eldest brother?" Xia Chen still cried, "Isn't the eldest brother still with the prince? really won't let him come back? the prince won't do anything to him, right?"

"I'm gone, what's the point of the prince harming him? At most, let him follow the prince. Anyway, if he doesn't come back, at most he will become the prince's man, and if he comes back now, our family will all become the prince's man—but I don't want the Xia family to be vassal to anyone anymore. Your eldest brother has an official position, but you don't, you are the owner of this village, and no one in the inner city has an excuse to find you trouble. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said, "Your cousin Tuoba used to tell me that a companion is like a tiger, and some things are not enough to be careful yourself. I know he's right, so I've been looking for an opportunity to get away from the inner city and slowly get out of the smoky place, but unfortunately it's finally too late, but you should be able to do it. If someone wants to come to you and knight you and win you over, you must know that you should refuse, right?"

Xia Chen nodded and said, "Then don't you inform Cousin Tuoba about this incident?"

"You're Cousin Tuoba...... After all, it's not our own people, what's more, if he comes, can I not go to Meizhou?" Xia Zheng smiled bitterly. "However, let's send someone to send him a letter tomorrow, after all, Meizhou is far away, I can't take care of you, Huizhou is closer, if he is willing to take care of you a little, it is a good thing, but you don't want to rely on him everything." ”

Although Xia Chen responded, he was obviously preoccupied, thinking about the things beside him, and after a while, he cried again: "Big brother, he ...... He himself doesn't know this background, but he must ...... Sooner or later, I won't be able to hide it from him. At that time, his heart will be a hundred times more uncomfortable than ours, Dad, I don't know how to face him at that time, I ...... I was really panicking. ”

"Panic what. Xia Zheng only said. "In this family, the person who should have a clear conscience is you. How did Dad teach you in the past? How can you be upright if you can't withstand some small discomforts? Remember, from today on, you are the one who can afford the whole family, and you must not do things with your own emotions and selfishness, and you must be thoughtful.

Xia Chen had no choice but to wipe away his tears and said, "I know." ”

Until the dawn of the third day, Xia Qi did not wait for the expected news, but instead reported that Xia Zheng had left Beijing.

The rain has been falling and hasn't stopped since that day. The luxuriously furnished but lonely room of the Prince's Mansion gave him the greatest expectation, but it finally achieved the deepest despair of his life.

Just three days ago, he imagined the kind of eyes he would suffer in the future, the day when even his brother would climb on his head—it was unbearable for him, and it was extremely panicked to think about it; but three days later, his expectations had fallen to the bottom, and he only hoped that his father would come and ask him about his situation, even if it was to go to the same miserable place as he went to Meizhou—but even this low expectation of going to the dirt did not come true.

The father did not come. Not only did he not come, but he also heard that Xia Chen had taken over as the owner of the village under the watchful eye of everyone.

His desperate gamble failed. He looked at the cloudy sky and knew that he had nothing. - He may have had nothing from the beginning.

Mo lost entered his room at this time, coughed, and said, "Young Master Xia, it seems that ...... Lord Ling Zun is really a little unkind, and even I, an outsider, can't stand it. ”

Xia Qi bit his lip tightly and said nothing.

"Childe thinks, why should Lord Lingzun be so harsh on Childe?"

Seeing that Xia Qi still didn't speak, Mo sighed, stepped forward and said: "Childe is not sad, Lord Xia doesn't look down on you, the prince is very important to the prince, and he also told me that if the prince is willing, he will stay in this mansion, and the prince will have a lot to borrow in the future." ”

Xia Qicai reluctantly glanced up at him and said, "Can ...... But he has to let me go, right?"

Mo lost a smile and said: "Young Master Xia thinks that the status of Guixia Jiazhuang is better than that of the prince?"

"Naturally, it's not as good as the prince's. ”

"The prince is hiding in Xiajiazhuang, and Zhang Gongchang can't do anything to you, why do you think that the prince's mansion can't protect the prince?"

Xia Qi also felt irrefutable, but after all, he always thought that Xiajiazhuang was his home, and he was a little lacking in confidence in the Prince's Mansion. But at this moment, when he thought about it, the so-called home had long since been unable to return, and he suddenly trembled all over, as if he had suddenly woken up from a dream, and he was so afraid that he couldn't help it.

"Yes, yes, why should I be bent on thinking about the Xiajiazhuang that doesn't want me at all......" he muttered. "It doesn't matter if he goes to Meizhou or Lin'an, whether he is promoted or demoted, what does it have to do with me...... What does it have to do with me!"

He suddenly bowed to Mo Shi and said, "I implore Lord Mo Shi to return to the prince, I, Xia Junfang, came to the prince's mansion the day before yesterday, and my heart is sincere." Now the prince will not give up, but if there is any sending, the monarch will not give up!"

Mo Shi pulled him up with a smile and said, "Young Master Xia is too polite. In the future, we will be loyal to the prince together, but we will not be separated from each other. ”

Xia Qi was in a better mood, and nodded in thanks.
