Chapter 596

What does this old man mean?

Is it... To convey peace to him?

The doctor Qiu, who saw the Duke of the town eat the dumplings, had a smile on his face, and then turned his expectant eyes to him

This sight made Dingnan Wang feel suffocated.

... he doesn't accept such absurd and strange hints!

The Duke of the town over there put down the porcelain bowl, glanced in his direction, stretched his face and continued to eat.

But doctor Qiu still refused to let him go easily.

It seemed that only three people could understand the atmosphere, which made Dingnan King feel as if he had been roasted on the fire.

After a while, he finally picked up a spoon, scooped up a glutinous rice ball and tasted it.

After only one taste, he put it down.

He doesn't really want to fix it with this old man!

It's just that he is the head of the Wu family. He is unreasonable and magnanimous in the face of the other party's desire for peace. Because of his upbringing, he can't allow him to do anything regardless of the aristocratic family's demeanor.

Doctor Qiu doesn't care so much.

At this time, his face was full of joy, and his eyes looked at the Duke of the town and the king of Dingnan - that's right!

"My mother will try it too." Xu Mingyi said with a smile, "the skill of doctor Qiu in kneading glutinous rice balls is first-class."

Wu Tsui vaguely heard this sentence. The person who didn't like sweets also subconsciously picked up the spoon.

Just now he saw that Uncle Xu ate very happily, as if he could get rid of the dilemma of having no daughter-in-law as soon as he ate the mandarin duck dumplings——

I'd rather believe it than believe it.

With the same mind, the boy also ate up two Tangyuan seriously.

Xi Bi, yuandezhi and the patriarch of the yuan family left without much disturbance.

Xu Yun stood outside the hall to see him off.

Yuan Dezhi saluted him back, feeling a little strange.

In the past, when he went to the Xu family, he could hardly see the second master. Why did he feel like a changed person when he came to Linyuan this time?

Xu, wife of the prince of Dingnan, helped the Empress Dowager out of the hall, and Xu Yun also gave a gift.

Xu Shi and the Empress Dowager smiled and nodded.

Xu Jin and Wu Jingming drank some wine at the banquet. At this time, they went with each other and said they were going to eat tea and make fu.

Then came the king of Dingnan.

"Go slowly, Lord." Xu Yun saluted again.

Dingnan Wang nodded slightly and left expressionless.

Xu Mingyi, Wu Chiu and the Duke of the town also followed.

"Father, pay attention to your feet." Xu Yun warned.

Looking at his son, the Duke of the town frowned - the waiter of the restaurant put it here to see off the guests one by one. Is this?

The old man looked unhappy. He was about to scold, but Xu Mingyi pulled him away: "Grandpa, Wu Tsui and I have something to discuss with you..."

Finally, Xu Mingshi came out slowly with a big bird who didn't want to move.

"Go back to bed." Xu Yun, who had been impatient for a long time, waved his hand and urged.

"Second uncle, won't you go back?" Xu Ming had doubts at the bottom of his heart.

He waited until now to see what the more abnormal second uncle wanted to do.

"It's still early, my second uncle wants to turn around." Xu Yun took his hand, looked at the night outside the corridor, made a relaxed state, and then said, "turn around alone."

Xu Mingshi:... It's not necessary to add such a sentence in case he will keep up.

"The second uncle is free. I'll take Tianmu back."

"HMM." Xu Yun's face was calm and calm, and he wished he could send his slow nephew back.

Xu Ming walked down the stone steps with Tianmu in his arms and turned to the left path.

At the corner of the path, a clump of plantains has turned yellow.

Xu Ming crouched behind the plantain bush, gently "hissed" to the heavenly eyes in his arms, and whispered, "don't make a noise."

Afraid that Tianmu couldn't understand, he covered the bird's mouth again.

The unidentified heavenly eyes stared at two small eyes and did not move.

At this time, the queen came out of the hall and said to the two little girls on the opposite side, "go back first. I want to go alone."

The little servant girl answered "yes" in unison and obeyed her orders to leave.

There were footsteps approaching behind him. Xu Yun stood in the corridor with his hands down, as if he hadn't heard it.

When the queen came to his side, he did not turn his head and looked very calm.

The queen smiled and asked, "let's go together?"

Xu Yun's expression remained unchanged——

A moment later, he said, "yes."

Just walk. Who's afraid of who?

He walked ahead with his feet raised.

The queen followed.

Squatting behind the plantain bush, Xu Ming looked at the back of the two people leaving together. The whole person was as stiff as petrification, and his eyes had long been staring like copper bells. Even now, he moved out and used it as a stone lion in the town house.

——And it's still the kind of big lion with little lion in his arms.

The little lion in the big lion's arms threw away the hand covering his long beak.

Seeing the two figures leave, Xu Mingshi still can't come back.

What the hell is going on?

His second uncle, and... Empress... Can't -?!

What about Mr. Joe?!

No... well, that's not the point!

The point is, this is the queen!

Xu Ming, who consciously discovered the amazing secret and thought it was impossible for anyone else to know the secret, suddenly got up - he couldn't be shocked alone. He wanted to tell Xu Mingyi!

He held the big bird and ran. Xu Yun and the Queen walked slowly and silently all the way.

Walking through a wooden bridge over a narrow stream, there is a faint night wind sending osmanthus fragrance.

They followed the aroma and slowed down under a cinnamon tree.

Queen: "I..."

Xu Yun: "you..."

They made a noise at the same time. The queen looked at him and smiled.

"..." Xu Yun slightly staggered his eyes and said angrily, "just say what you want to say. I don't have time to spend so much time with you."

But the queen didn't seem to feel the cold treatment. She still smiled: "just came all the way and walked like this. She felt very comfortable, as if everything had slowed down and calmed down."

Xu Yun's figure straightened up again.

Isn't it comfortable to have him with you?

Not everyone can have this treatment. Now she should know how to cherish it?

"Mr. Xu -" the queen opened her mouth, looked at him and said, "don't be angry if I call you like this."

After all, now she doesn't know what to call it——

It was not her intention to alienate.

But before the words of apology are spoken, everything can not be confused.

"It was my fault from the beginning to the end. I really owe you too much when it comes to debt." under the moonlight, she looked ashamed but did not avoid: "I have always owed you a word of regret, but I didn't speak until today..."

Listening to this sentence, Xu Yun's lips almost stretched into a straight line.

A moment later, the voice said, "so you know -"

The queen looked at him: "of course I know. If I do something wrong, I won't know."

"Well, you don't know." Xu Yun's eyes finally returned to her face and looked at her. His cold voice was full of restraint: "why? I've always wanted to ask you why!"

"Wu Jingying... Over the years, I often wonder if I was just dispensable to you in those days? If I wanted to, it wouldn't hurt. That's why you can throw it away, or even leave a word!" Xu Yun stared at her tightly, and his eyes were slightly red under the cold white moon.

On the eyes, the queen shook her head slightly: "no..."

"What is that!"

"..." the queen held the edge of her sleeve, which was embroidered with lotus branches and vines.

In addition to saying sorry, she really owes an explanation and explanation.

After a short silence, she said, "I begged my father privately for you and me, but my father refused to give up..."

But at that time, she didn't think it was hopeless. On the contrary, she thought that she would finally get her father's help just as sister a married the king of Yan.

My father is just thinking and testing Xu Yun.

Or I can't put down my face and wait for the Duke of town to say a soft word.

"I thought it was only a matter of time before my father changed his mouth, but soon something happened in Beijing. The first emperor's funeral day, and sister also had an accident..."

"After sister a's, my father had a long talk with me alone and explained the current situation, the difficulties of getting married with Xu Wu and various disadvantages..."

That night, my father didn't mention his objection again. He just asked her if she could bear the worst result if she insisted——

She thought for a long time.

She can bear it.

She believed that Xu Yun could do the same.

But the Wu family and the Xu family can't.

To be exact, although the Wu family can bear it with a hundred years of experience, the Xu family can't afford it.

She and Xu Yun are not alone. They only talk about themselves. They are too whimsical and selfish.

He was not selfish. If she held each other in love, even if she reluctantly came to one place, the result might not be better than now - she abandoned everything under an impulse, but what happened after the impulse faded? After all, people have to face the nature of their heart.

At that time, everything in front of them was the wrong time.

When the former emperor died, the new emperor seemed to have many conspiracies, and it was difficult to decide the situation in the future... So she wavered at that time.

But there was still a bit of luck, she thought, and maybe she could come up with a solution——

She wrote to Xu Yun, but before the letter could be sent out, the will was sent to her home

Her father knew her mind, never thought of forcing, thinking about how to balance the situation and how to balance the temptation of the new emperor.

But she realized that since the imperial edict came out, no matter whether the Wu family resisted the edict or not, there could be no more perfect policy between her and Xu Yun.

Everything is in a dead end.

And that's when——

"... I did flinch under all kinds of circumstances, and later I heard my father's suspicion about sister a's death." she looked at Xu Yun, not blurring all her selfish interests, nor did she intend to attribute all her troubles to 'for your own good'——

"The Wu family gave birth to me, raised me, gave me rich clothes and food, and taught me to study and learn theory. My mother never said half a word to me. At present, my father has never thought of pushing me out as a chip in the interests of the family. My younger brother respects me, and my elder sister gives way everywhere... I can't and don't want to add disadvantages and bury disasters to my family because of me."

"On this, you and I are in the same situation and mood." she looked at him and asked, "Xu Yun, to be fair, if I abandon these and want to be with you regardless, will you really be at ease? Will this be at ease for a long time?"

"..." Xu Yun didn't know when he had clenched his finger: "I don't know."

He had no chance to think about that——

He had no time to think about it, and there was no turning point in front of him.

So, should he thank her for saving him a choice?

Or does she think that if she is cruel to be this villain, he only hates others and doesn't have to bear any debt or guilt... Can he live happily!

Considering this, he could no longer pretend to be indifferent because of his unspeakable, bitter and bitter feeling "... yes! You know the overall situation, know the trade-offs, and want to find out the cause of your sister's death! Don't I understand! Even if you don't explain these to me today, I Xu Yun's been suffering for more than ten years in vain. Otherwise, why should I wait until today!"

"What I really want to ask is why you didn't say a word? It's obviously between you and me. Why did you make up your mind yourself?"

"I know you know..." the queen looked at him with tears floating in her eyes. "Just because you know, I dare not leave any room."

She just wanted him to give up.

But he is so good that once he knows what she thinks, he can't blame her at all.

It's better to hate her than to wait for her with hope.

But she didn't expect

He blamed her so much, but he was still waiting for her.

Therefore, the decision made at that age under the thought of reason and calm is still too shallow and self righteous.

"Over the years, I've been looking forward to hearing the news of your marriage..." the queen smiled with a complex and bitter smile, as if she felt a little funny: "that way, I can feel less guilty."

Xu Yun sneered, "why should I make your heart better!"

"I just don't want to see you again and torture myself."

Xu Yun said sarcastically, "you are not my daughter-in-law. I need you to manage my affairs?"

Seeing that she was going to answer, he cut off, "that's enough. I don't want to hear these useless old stories. Now I just ask you --"

Then he took a look at the things in her hair: "what do you mean by wearing this hairpin today?"

"This hairpin..." the queen raised her hand and said, "I want to compensate you first..."

Xu Yun immediately asked, "what are you going to do after you lose?"

"Then I'm going to ask you..." she's not slow. She made up her mind. Although she was nervous, she didn't hesitate to retreat——

"From the inside to the outside, I'm not what I used to be. I'm very different from Wu Jingying you knew. I'm not very competitive, and I can't stay with you for too long..."

"Say something stupid!"

Xu Yun interrupted her and grabbed her hand: "all right, let's go!"

"Go... Where?" he moved suddenly, and the queen couldn't help but be stunned.

"Go and ask the Lord to promise you and me!" Xu Yun said involuntarily, took her hand and left.

Now that she has coaxed him and compensated him, what should be explained has been explained clearly. If he grinds haw again, he is afraid that his daughter-in-law who is just expected to get her will fly away again!

He can't give her another chance to repent!
