Chapter 24： The Loveless Scholar Who Abandoned His Wife and Son 2

When Xie Mo heard his father's words, his face became hot in an instant, and he moved his lips to explain, but he couldn't say a word after a while.

Explain that you have no love for Miss Li? But the fact is clearly not the case.

Gritting his teeth, Xie Mo planned to confess to his father.

"Father... I, I want to marry the daughter of the master's family."

If you want to get married, you need the consent of both parents before going to make an engagement. If you want to be with Miss Li, you must not be able to hide it from your father.

"Have you considered it?"

Xie Hui sat down at the table, poured a glass of water from the teacup that his son had just poured over, and drank slowly.

As soon as he entered the mission world in this world, his son was already such an adult, and he would soon reach the age of the crown. Unlike the little boy in the previous world, he had to decide everything by himself, which saved him a lot of worry.

"I've thought about it, Dad. After I get married, I will definitely study hard, and I will... also be filial to my grandmother and uncle."

With the moonlight coming in from the window, Xie Hui could see at a glance the unwillingness on the child's face when he said the latter sentence.

"Now that I've thought about it, I won't say much. Pick a good day, and I'll find a matchmaker and propose marriage at my master's house."

Xie Mo raised his head abruptly when he heard these words, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

Xie Hui drank all the water in the tea cup, stood up and looked at Qi Niang who was unconscious in the room, walked over and picked up the clothes at the back of her neck, lifted her out, and threw her to the pigsty in the yard.

After finishing, she clapped her hands, turned her head to look at Xie Mo standing at the door of the room, and said to him:

"It's getting late now, go to bed early, remember to lock the door from the inside, and sell this slave to someone else tomorrow, and come to the master's room in the middle of the night, and don't understand any rules."

Xie Mo nodded, without any hesitation, he turned around and went back to rest as his father said.

As for the slave, Xie Mo didn't even ask a word.

Originally, he was only focused on his homework, and his mind was full of knowledge about the imperial examination. He only knew that there was a bought slave in his family.

After returning to the original owner's room, Xie Hui took out a loose brick, and then took out a delicate small box from the hole. When he opened it, there was a book with yellowed paper.

In the original plot, the book of medical skills that made the heroine a world-renowned genius doctor is the book that is now in front of Xie Hui.

This is a relic left by the original owner's wife. Xie Hui didn't feel guilty at all, so he planned to swallow this book. Instead of taking advantage of the time-traveling heroine, it's better to come by himself.

After watching the original plot, Xie Hui always felt that there seemed to be a lot of concealment in it. How could it be as easy as the original plot to complete modern medical surgery in ancient times.

"Host, according to the original plot, the heroine was innocently harmed by her father."

Xie Hui, who was reading this medical book, suddenly heard the system speak, and frowned irritably.

Although in his eyes the main **** is quite stingy, in reality the main **** treats the systems under him pretty well. When each system is delivered to them, it is like a newborn baby, which needs to be taught slowly by the host.

It is said that such a system that grows with the host has the lowest chance of being abandoned by the host.

After being disturbed, Xie Hui didn't have the intention to continue watching, so he closed the medical skills and put it away to go to bed, and he didn't forget to answer this stupid system before going to bed.

"When the heroine was young, her father's greedy money was spent on her basic necessities, so she was not innocent."

Not everyone can use ignorance as an excuse. Qi Niang's extravagant life when she was young was stained with the blood of countless people.

They were greedy for the money used to build the dams, and when the floods came, countless people were killed. It would not be a pity to thank them for coming back.

Only a punishment that is so severe that it affects the whole family can make others afraid and dare not do it.

"Oh."

The system responded weakly, which seemed to exceed the range of its data calculation.

When Xie returned to cover the quilt, he could clearly smell the musty smell on the quilt, he frowned without being picky, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, Xie Hui didn't get up early in the morning like the original owner did to go to the kitchen to boil hot water. Instead, he slept until he woke up naturally and stretched himself in the sun.

Mostly only children who can cry can eat sweets. The more honest and obedient they are, the easier it is to be ignored.

The original owner is as honest as an old scalper, he is obedient to his mother, his younger brother is cheating and cheating, and he only thinks about being lazy and getting some money from the old lady all day long.

But the old lady prefers the original owner's younger brother Xie Fu, and it's fine if she doesn't like the original owner. She even wants to ruin her grandson's life, just to leave a guarantee for her youngest son.

The elderly who are bedridden can best tell whether their children are filial.

The old lady has been lying on the bed for several years, her body is still clean, and there is no peculiar smell in the room, all of which are cleaned by the original owner every day.

But today, Xie Hui didn't even bother to boil the hot water for the old lady's bath, let alone help her clean up.

It's not disgusting, it's just that this kind of vicious old lady who is partial to her armpit is not worthy of being served by him wholeheartedly.

He walked to the front of the hall on his own, filled two bowls of porridge that Qi Niang would prepare for the old lady every day, and brought them to the study to share with his son.

I don’t know how long the porridge has been boiled, and it is delicious enough with a pile of pickles.

After Xie Mo finished eating, holding the bowl, he glanced at his father quietly, inexplicably feeling that his father seems to be different today.

Originally, only grandma could eat porridge made from rice bought from the capital by entrusting someone in the family.

After Xie Hui drank the last mouthful of porridge, he raised his head and met Xie Mo's curious eyes.

Xie Mo in this life has reached the age where he can marry a wife. It is true that he is not like the little boy in the previous world who needs to worry about everything by himself, but he is also not like the little boy in the previous life who is close to him and can do everything. Just say it.

"how?"

Xie Mo hurriedly looked away after his father asked, stood up and subconsciously wanted to clean up the dishes.

Xie Hui put away the bowls and chopsticks first, and when he walked to the door, he saw Xie Mo who was still standing there, and said in a low voice:

"Before, it was father who treated you badly. Which family's Juren master is like you. From today on, you just concentrate on studying hard, and father will come to family affairs."

Rao Xie Mo is such an adult, when he heard his father's words, he couldn't control the acidity of his nose.

His classmate was admitted to Juren, and everyone in the family regarded him as a treasure, and put him on the water mat to celebrate for three days.

If it is said that there is no envy in his heart, even Xie Mo himself would not believe it.

The conditions of the family are such that his grandmother is sick in bed, and Xie Mo doesn't expect to be like others, but his father is stingy with even a word of concern.

Today's father is just a promise, even if it's just lip service, the grievances that Xie Mo has been holding back, seem to have opened a hole to get out.

As soon as Xie Hui put down the bowl, he heard a commotion outside. Xie Fu took a few elders and the head of the clan, pushed open the door and walked into the yard. There were also many villagers who wanted to watch the excitement crowded in. Come in.

Because it was an elder who came, Xie Mo, who had just opened the book in the study and was about to read it, also came out. Before he could speak, he watched his father greet him.

"Hey, patriarch, you came just in time, I was going to find you later."

The patriarch's face is tense now, there is a deep gully between his brows, and his hair and beard are all white.

"Thank you, your younger brother just came to us and said that your mother felt that she didn't have much time and she didn't want to delay her grandson's marriage. She has already made a wish. Let us be a witness, but is it true?"

When the patriarch said this, he suppressed his anger, but the veins on his forehead still twitched.

There is a young man like Xie Mo in the clan, with a bright future, and he is also honored as the patriarch. But who would have thought that this family would be so confused!

"Thank you, your son is now a Juren. Your mother may be sick and confused, so she wants your son to marry a slave as his wife. Why did you agree?"

Xie Fu, who was standing next to him, actually didn't even know if his mother had asked his eldest brother, but according to his previous character of obedience to his mother, he didn't even bother to say hello.

Niang Ke said that the slave was clumsy when he bought it, and fell into the cold water when washing clothes, so he might not be able to bear children at all.

Xie Mo, who has a slave's legal wife, as long as he is a decent family in the future, it is impossible for him to betroth his daughter to him. In addition, according to the eldest brother's filial piety to his mother, it is absolutely impossible for the granddaughter-in-law in the mother's last wish to be divorced.

If Xie Mo really has no children, he will definitely choose his children and grandchildren first, and he will enjoy the blessings with him.

"Also, child Xie Mo, you are studying hard now, how can you indulge in the love of your children, lose your mind and even have thoughts about a slave! You know, marrying a slave as a wife, the reputation of the body It will ruin the re-examination!"

Nowadays, the emperor's control over these corrupt officials' family members is particularly strict. If a famous scholar wants to marry a criminal official's family member, he will be stripped of all his achievements and re-examined from childhood.

Obviously just last night, I had happily mentioned to my father that I wanted to marry my wife's daughter, but now I was labeled as wanting to marry a slave for no reason. Xie Mo moved his lips and subconsciously wanted to deny it. .

Xie Mo said a word just now, and Xie Fu, who was standing beside the patriarch, took a step forward, and said loudly first:

"Xie Mo! This is your grandmother's idea. Could it be that... you don't even want to help your seriously ill grandmother realize her only wish?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and stared at Xie Hui again.

"Brother, what's the matter with your son? Is it easy for mother to bring up the two of us alone? Now that I'm old, I only have this one wish, and it can't satisfy mother. Can you let mother go away with peace of mind?"

Xie Mo, who originally wanted to defend himself, heard the word "grandmother" from his uncle's mouth, his face was as pale as paper under the sunlight.

According to his experience from childhood to adulthood, as long as he mentioned something related to his grandmother, his father would probably compromise.

Now... the only fortunate thing is that I only had time to tell my father about my favorite Miss Li, and it would not hurt Miss Li's reputation.

For a gentle, virtuous and considerate woman like Miss Li, even if she doesn't have herself, she should have a good life in the future.

Xie Mo's hand that was originally tightly held by his side has now been slowly stretched out, and his downcast eyes covered his heart like ashes.

But what his father said next made Xie Mo raise his head in disbelief.
