Chapter 211 Queen
"Huaichu is right. Let's talk about anything we have to say after we finish the reunion dinner." Liu Meiniang, who has always been taciturn and has a low sense of presence, broke the awkward situation.
Liu Meiniang's status in the Xie family is very important. Although she is unwilling to go out to socialize, does not appear much in Bianjing, and has little say in the circle of ladies, she is respected by everyone in the Xie family. , all love and protect her. Therefore, his words are equivalent to the golden rule of housekeeping. Once he says it, no one will disagree.
As expected, Xie Zhen immediately echoed: "Huaichu finally returned home, so let's finish this meal first and then talk about the next thing."
After both expressed their opinions, Xie Wei slowly raised her head, revealing a pair of red and swollen eyes like peaches: "It's like this, who can still eat it?"
Xie Wei has always been the boldest one in the family. She is also the freer and more independent one who has not been baptized by feudal ethics. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, she does not understand etiquette and always says depressing words when the atmosphere is harmonious. However, it cannot be denied that under such a strange calmness, he dares to refute and expose this. This act of building a false barrier of family affection is also very brave.
Xie Wei's words were like a pebble suddenly thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples one after another. Her words made everyone startled.
Liu Meiniang said helplessly: "When things have reached this point, everyone has basically figured it out in their hearts, so we clearly know that what we are going to face next will be very painful for each of us, so why not let us as a family now?" Let’s maintain a semblance of calm for the last time.”
Liu Meiniang, who had always been a talkative woman, suddenly said something like this, so everyone agreed in unison. Liu Meiniang is a quiet and virtuous person. She usually does not express too many opinions. She is like a gentle spring water, flowing with the traces of the mountain. Her existence, her temperament, and her influence are all... It's soft. So when such a paragraph was said, everyone felt that it was very reasonable. Even if the current situation no longer allows for a false and harmonious family atmosphere to be maintained, they still have to give her some face.
Xie Wei raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face, and said: "That's all, there must be endless things to say and things that we can't understand, and the painful things that will come next will make us shed tears uncontrollably. , since the follow-up will be very painful, let’s keep a little bit of the last warmth now.”
A few people were relatively silent, and then at Xie Zhen's greeting, a few people moved their chopsticks and ate their last dinner. Although a lot of effort was put into making this perfect meal, everyone was left with the same taste.
After Xie Huaichu forced himself to eat some, he couldn't eat anymore. He held his neck and waited quietly for others to finish their dinner.
"Dad, mother, sister." Xie Huaichu said, "This should be the last time I call you."
Although Xie Zhen has always disliked him and made things difficult for him at every turn, and did not raise him as his biological son, but at this moment when he heard him say that this was the last time he called him daddy, his heart had been frozen for a long time. His heart seemed to have regained its vitality, beating loudly, with pain that could affect hundreds of limbs. Although the dull pain was not obvious, it was difficult for him to accept for a while.
Liu Meiniang seems to have suffered a very big blow, and now her ability to withstand stress has improved a lot. She leaned back on the chair a little exhausted, and did not look at Xie Huaichu. She lowered her eyebrows and covered his eyes with long thick eyelashes, making it impossible to peek into the expression in his eyes, but the smile on the corner of her mouth It was clearly a stagnant forced smile.
Xie Wei was the most reactive and emotional among these people. Although she always behaved a little bit and talked a lot, all her actions and words just showed that she could not accept the loss of this brother. "Brother, you will always be my brother. Although I know it seems false and useless to say these words now, I still want to say what is in my heart. Even if our family falls apart, even if our family may become Enemies, but the memories we have with Helele’s family in the past are indelible, and our diligence in growing up in the past will never be forgotten. There is a way to get rid of it, no matter what, you are my brother, and I regard you as my closest and only brother." Xie Wei didn't want to say these words in this embarrassing occasion, and she didn't really want to. She was willing to speak out, but for some reason, after Xie Huaichu finished speaking, she couldn't help but speak out the strongest thoughts in her heart. It seemed that if I didn't speak out, I would never have the chance to confess my inner feelings.
Xie Huaichu was very touched. He was also touched by this sister's attachment and care for him. This sister's support and love for him was his biggest surprise and gain today.
"Sister, you will always be my sister. I don't know if what I said is meaningful, but I promise you that from the beginning to the end, I never meant to take advantage of you. I only have one thing for you. With the heart of a brother who cares for his sister, you will always be my sister, even if you don’t want to recognize me, it doesn’t matter.” Xie Huaichu sighed softly.
After he finished speaking, several people fell into a brief moment of embarrassment and silence.
It was Xie Huaichu who broke the deadlock. He asked: "What do you all know?"
Xie Zhen said: "Huai Chu, we should be the ones asking you what do you know?"
Xie Huaichu was puzzled: "I think it would be better for you to explain this matter first. After all, when I just came back and didn't say anything or prepared anything, you suddenly treated me with such an attitude. This is different from what I had done before." Treat me with a very contrasting attitude, and then In the end, you either cried or pointed at me for treating me differently. You always need an explanation and a reason, right? But now you suddenly ask me questions. You should first tell me why you treat me with this attitude. ?”
Xie Zhen and Liu Mei Niang looked at each other: "Mei Niang, do you want to talk about this matter again?"
Liu Meiniang nodded and said to him caringly: "If you don't speak up and explain this matter clearly to the children, it's okay to let me do it. Don't think that this matter is of great importance. , and because of your face and so on, put aside those empty things, don’t think about them, it doesn’t matter, if you find it difficult to talk about it, I can explain this matter to the children.”
Xie Zhen was very moved: "Especially like this, what else can I ask for? Thank you so much for your concern and care for me. It doesn't matter. I can explain this matter clearly."
Xie Huaichu's patience was about to be worn away. He frowned and couldn't help asking: "What is going on? Can you tell me?"
Xie Zhen let out a long sigh, and then cleared everyone out. Now only his family of four was left at the scene.
"This is actually a very important matter, and it also concerns the current queen."
