Chapter 105 Father
When Xie Fengyue saw the figure lifted up by the soldiers, her nose couldn't stop feeling sore again.
What a glorious family her father is. If her mother, Mrs. Liu, is said to be beautiful and dazzling, then her father can only be said to be as gentle and beautiful as fine jade. If the head of the Xie family had not interfered, then his father would have been He will find a good match and become the noble son of his family safely.
At this moment, his body was stooped, his cheeks were deeply sunken, his lips were chapped and bleeding, and his satin-black hair had lost its original luster, and the white hair lay messily on his cheeks like a handful of straw.
Xie Fengyue stepped forward quickly, held the withered hands, and called softly: "Father~"
Xie Rong sniffed the mothballs. He was knocked unconscious. After being stung by the smell, he slowly woke up. After his eyes opened and closed, his eyes suddenly opened wide and his lips murmured: "Xiao Yue'er?"
< br>
The corners of Xie Fengyue's eyes turned red, and she bit her lip and hummed heavily.
Xie Rong's tears could no longer be stopped like an unscrewed valve. He held Xie Fengyue's hand tremblingly: "I, I, am sorry for you...and I am also sorry for your mother and brother!"
< br>
Xie Fengyue was stunned. She could still understand that she was sorry. What did it mean to be sorry to her mother and brother?
She immediately dismissed everyone and asked: "What does father mean by this?"
Xie Rong looked struggling. He clenched his fists and beat the bed hard: "Your mother and brother unfortunately slipped and fell off the cliff and died. I am the only one who is still alive. As a father, I am really sorry for you!"
He stared at Xie Fengyue closely, pressed his shoulders with both hands and cried out: "It's all my fault. I have no face at all with the Xie family elders. I can't save our family, and it will cause the death of your mother and brother."
Xie Fengyue was confused by his vague words. She took a deep breath and calmed down before speaking: "Father, don't be anxious. Whatever I ask you, tell me everything you know. ”
Xie Rong's heart had been in a mess since he heard his daughter's voice. He had too much to say, but he didn't know where to start in detail.
Xie Fengyue sat upright, supported Xie Rong and leaned against the bed and asked, "Does father know that the master has arranged for me to marry Wu Gong in the spring and become the successor of the old King Wu?"
"What successor?"
After Xie Rong took several deep breaths, he calmed down a lot. He shook his head: "Your mother told me that the journey to exile in Lingnan is far away. As a delicate girl, you can easily attract the covetousness of the officers and soldiers, so she wrote a letter begging Mrs. Xie to take you in." Enter the direct branch, and after this matter is over, I will find you an ordinary man to be your husband.”
A smile appeared on Xie Fengyue's lips and she continued: "Why is father here and being guarded?"
"I fell seriously ill after arriving in Lingnan, and I was sent here when I woke up. Aren't those the officers and soldiers who were guarding me? Is there something wrong with them?"
Xie Rong carefully observed Xie Fengyue's increasingly cold expression, and asked, "Xiao Yue'er, why don't you care about your mother and brother?"
Xie Fengyue smiled helplessly. She didn't know whether she should tell her father, who was kept in the dark, that her mother and brother were still alive. He didn't know anything now, and he already looked seriously ill. If she told those convoluted things, with her father's emotional temperament, she would probably be trapped in thousands of doubts.
She thought about it for a while and decided to wait until he got better. She didn't miss that much time.
"I just don't want to mention my father's sadness."
Just these words made Xie Rong's face turn red and he couldn't stop coughing: "You... you are a good daughter, but I am not a good father or a good husband. It's all my fault. It's all my fault." He used his hands as he spoke. Drooping chest. Xie Fengyue quickly pressed his hand, poured a glass of warm water and handed it to him with both hands.
After he finished drinking, he said sadly: "The exile team had just passed Yuntai Mountain when someone slipped and fell down the cliff. After the person fell, he pulled your mother and fell down. I watched her fall down. , and then your brother also jumped off me desperately to save your mother. I was weak and could not muster the courage to jump down and accompany them at that time. "
He looked up at the thatched roof, and the tears falling from his chin seemed to have penetrated Xie Fengyue's heart.
It turns out that my mother used the golden cicada method to escape from her shell, but after she faked her death, have you ever thought about how your father should face the loss of two close relatives?
She was sure that her father was too timid to jump, but his overthinking temperament would spend the rest of his life in regret. Isn't this more torturous than killing him?
At this moment, Xie Fengyue really began to doubt her life experience. Could she really be the biological daughter of the head of the Xie family?
No! Absolutely impossible!
This thought only occurred for a moment, and she immediately denied it.
Like a drowning person looking for a life-saving straw, Xie Fengyue asked without hesitation: "Father, am I your biological daughter?"
Xie Rong was stunned for a moment. He thought his daughter was blaming him for not bringing her with him to Lingnan.
"What nonsense are you talking about? When your mother found out she was pregnant, our family of three had been living in Jizhou's hometown for half a year. On the third day after she found out she was pregnant, we hurried back to Peixian County for fear of the doctors in those small places. Poor medication has delayed you.”
"Don't blame your mother for sending you away. She did it for your own good. We will always be a family. If her spirit in heaven knew that she had been misunderstood by her daughter in this way, she would definitely not be able to rest in peace."
After hearing these words, Xie Fengyue calmed down.
My mother was born in a hunting village in Jizhou. It was because she married well that she helped her mother's family. That's why they moved their family to the town once they got the chance to ascend to heaven. However, it was also very remote there. Whenever a new face comes to town, it will be discussed for a long time.
so.
She, Xie Fengyue, is definitely not a child born out of idleness!
She closed her eyes and looked up with a smile, and said with relief in her heart: "This trip is not in vain."
Seeing her like this, Xie Rong was so anxious that he coughed repeatedly: "Xiao Yue'er, don't blame your mother. She really loves her son and thinks about you."
< br>
The smile on Xie Fengyue's lips fell instantly, but due to her father's anxious look, she reluctantly curled her lips again: "Father, let's go back to Lingnan Mansion first. This is not a place where we can stay forever."
Xie Rong nodded slightly, looked at her expression and spoke carefully: "Why don't you let those people outside, let Aunt Liu and Da Zhuang go? They are all obeying orders to guard me, but there were a few bandits in the past few days. They were more cautious when they passed here, and Grandma Liu took great care of me.”
Xie Rong's voice became softer as he spoke because he saw Xie Fengyue's face visibly darken.
