Chapter 25 Visit
"Dad, you are here."
Xia Zihan saluted with an indifferent expression, and then silently knelt in front of Mr. Chu Ge's soul without looking at Xia Shiming again.
Since he doesn't have her as a daughter in his heart, from now on, she will treat herself as the granddaughter of the Chu family.
She never wants to step into the Xia family again.
She would never want to see anyone from the Xia family.
Xia Shiming frowned, obviously dissatisfied with his daughter's attitude towards him, but when he thought that his father-in-law had just passed away, his daughter must have felt very uncomfortable, and he immediately felt relieved.
As Mr. Chu Ge's only son-in-law and half-son, he didn't bother to wash off the dust. After taking a rest, he immediately put on his mourning clothes and tied a filial piety rope, and took care of the affairs of the Chu family with Song Baiqing.
In the evening, in the dead of night, Xia Shiming, after a busy day, finally had a moment to take a breath.
Thinking that his daughter was unexpectedly made the county head by the emperor, and was also rewarded with a valuable house and village, the corners of his mouth curled up in pleasure.
Turning his feet, the direction to the guest room changed.
"County Lord, the second master has come to see you."
Xia Zihan, who was asleep in a daze, was woken up by Nuanyu who was on duty at night.
When she opened her eyes, she saw her father sitting beside her bed. All the sleeping bugs disappeared. She sat up and called, "Dad."
Then, there was nothing to say.
Xia Shiming looked at his daughter, who was like Mingyu, and the alienated look in his daughter's eyes, and he felt sad.
In the past few years, he has always owed his children.
Because his mother was angry with her father-in-law for not promoting his career, she never visited her daughter once.
He felt guilty. He was not good at words when facing his daughter, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. "It's getting late. If dad is fine, my daughter will go to bed." Xia Zihan didn't want to stare at him until dawn.
"You... are you doing well in the Chu family?" Xia Shiming finally spoke, but his tone was very stiff and awkward.
"Very good."
Those two short words made Xia Shiming choke and feel as if he had swallowed a live fly.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Do you want to go back to the Xia family? If you want to go back, I will send someone to take you back after your grandfather's funeral is completed."
"I don't want to."
Seeing that she was cold and indifferent and seemed to have no interest in the Xia family, Xia Shiming wisely stopped mentioning the Xia family and said hesitantly, "How about you come and live with me in Renshang? Aunt Zhang will take care of you..." …”
"Is it okay if my father asks an aunt to take care of me?"
She, a serious legitimate daughter and the head of the county who was personally named by the emperor, actually wanted an aunt to teach her. I really don't know what her father was thinking.
"Isn't my grandmother's status higher than my aunt's status?" she said angrily.
Xia Shiming suddenly blushed with embarrassment and felt ashamed.
He didn't know much about these internal affairs, no, he didn't understand them at all, but after hearing what his daughter said, he felt that his idea seemed wrong.
The daughter is a legitimate daughter, and no matter how virtuous Aunt Zhang is, she is still an aunt. Due to her status, she is not qualified to teach Yu Niang.
He stopped mentioning this matter and turned to the issue of the emperor's conferment of a title. He also told her seriously, "It is your blessing that the emperor conferred a title on you. You must not act recklessly in the future. You must think twice before doing anything." OK.”
"From now on, you will not only represent the Xia family's face, but also the emperor's face. Your behavior and behavior must not embarrass the emperor."
