Just as Xie Qingrong was deep in thought, the butler she had seen before at the entrance of the Ji Residence walked in front of the two and respectfully said: "Greetings Prince Chen, Princess Consort Chen. Old master is waiting for you in his study room. May I know if you two have the time to meet with our old master? "
Xuanyuan Chen's eyes darkened, he was no fool, the person Chief of the Ji Family wanted to invite was only Xie Qingrong, he was just doing it along the way.
Xie Qingrong held Xuanyuan Chen's hand, smiled towards the butler of the Ji Palace, and agreed: "Since master has invited him, how could he possibly refuse? Butler, please lead the way. "
Even though Ji Cangming had instructed Butler Ji to bring Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong here, he was still a little fidgety in the study room. He was extremely nervous.
In the end, he paced back and forth by the window, feeling the gusts of cold wind, relieving his restlessness.
He didn't know what he should say or do when he saw his daughter again. Ji Cangming, who was immersed in thought, didn't realize that Xuanyuan Chen had already entered the study room at this moment.
When Butler Ji saw that his master was still in a daze, he gave Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong an apologetic smile, then went forward to call Ji Cangming.
Ji Cangming instantly regained his senses, wanting to reveal a smile to Xie Qingrong, but he did not know what kind of smile he should reveal.
Xie Qingrong smiled slightly, she did not mind Ji Cangming's stiff smile at all, and said: "Clan Head Ji only needs to treat Prince and I like how we usually treat our guests, after all, the guest will follow you."
Hearing Xie Qingrong's words, the smile on Ji Cangming's face became lighter, his expression became slightly serious as he said in a serious tone: "Prince Chen and Princess Consort Chen are esteemed guests of the Ji Mansion, how can you be confused with other guests?"
Xuanyuan Chen twirled his finger, and looked at Chief of the Ji Family Ji Cangming before him with a smile that was not a smile. He clearly had a clear answer in his heart, but he still spoke about it in a circle.
A Rong did not have that much patience.
As expected, Xie Qingrong's delicate eyebrows slightly knitted, as if she was a little impatient, and quickly recovered the expression she had a moment ago. She said in a rather serious manner, "Clan Head Ji, I have other matters to take care of with Your Highness in the military camp. It was inconvenient to stay here. If I could please Clan Head Ji to tell me the truth, I will definitely be forever grateful. "
When he heard that Xie Qingrong was about to leave the Ji Family soon, Ji Cangming felt a little unwilling in his heart. He had originally planned to let Xie Qingrong stay at the Ji Mansion for a few more days to cultivate the relationship between father and daughter.
However, when he thought about how Xie Qingrong was not only her daughter, but also Prince Chen's wife, carrying all other responsibilities on his body, no matter how much more unwilling he was, he would never be able to stop her.
However, the truth that Xie Qingrong wanted to know?
Ji Cangming was a little puzzled and asked suspiciously, "The truth that Princess Consort Chen spoke of? What was the truth? If Princess Consort Chen has any questions, feel free to ask.
Xie Qingrong saw that Ji Cangming did not understand the meaning of her words, and was not feigning ignorance, and immediately understood that Ji Rufeng was trying to make things difficult for him, causing his eyes to darken.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "When Clan Head Ji saw my face pale with fright, and heard that my mother was the famous Shang Huaiyue of the past, his expression became even weirder, as if he was reminiscing about my mother. I wonder if Clan Head Ji can tell me what grudge you had with my mother? "
Xie Qingrong was looking forward to the topic at hand, and she didn't know why she had such an expectation. It was as if it was an instinctive reaction of her body.
Ji Cangming gazed at Xie Qingrong's face for a long time, suppressing the sorrowful thoughts in her heart. He let out a long sigh and said, "Back then, I was in love with your mother, but somehow your mother suddenly disappeared without a trace. It took me a while to find out that your mother had already married the Heavenly Sage Kingdom's."
"I thought that the General Xie and the A Month were truly in love, that's why the A Month left me and married Xie Jing. However, I didn't expect that in the month before the A Month was about to give birth, she would actually fix me up and tell me the reason why she disappeared all those years ago. "I was overjoyed and immediately rushed from the Wilderness to the capital."
"I didn't expect to hear the grievous news of A Month's hard birth. Furthermore, the girl in her arms also turned purple, appearing as if she had died early. It took a lot of effort for me to finally snatch A Month and emotions from the hands of Yama. Unexpectedly, many things happened and A Month and I once again lost contact, and our relationship was also taken away by him. "
Although Ji Cangming could suppress his sorrowful, resentful and painful emotions, he could still feel the unease in his heart from the low voice that he slowly spoke out.
Xie Qingrong raised her brows, carefully considering her options.
Although Ji Cangming's words could not pick out the wrong words, there were a few points that were suspicious.
"Back then, why did my mother leave you? Why did she marry Xie Jing? But why tell you all the truth at the time of labor? "
"Then, in the end, even though you all have successfully cultivated it, my mother once again abandoned you and took away your feelings. What happened in the end? I hope that Clan Head Ji can tell me all of the truth, and not the slightest bit of deceit. "
Xuanyuan Chen tightly held onto Xie Qingrong's hand, slightly releasing the grip on her hand, and continuously rubbed the back of his thumb, giving her silent comfort.
Xie Qingrong looked extremely calm, her deep eyes were like a cold pond, gloomy and cold. However, Xuanyuan Chen knew that Xie Qingrong's heart was not at peace, as though something was about to spew out.
This was not only the instinctive reaction of this body, but also Xie Qingrong's current state of mind. In this past year, so many things had happened.
She had always hated being someone's chess piece and puppet, and even more so, she didn't want to be pushed into a trap. Sooner or later, she would find out the truth behind all of this and its conspiracy.
The other hand, that Xuanyuan Chen was not holding onto, was hidden within the tender yellow sleeves of his sleeves.
She lowered her eyes and waited for Ji Cangming's answer.
He wanted to tell Xie Qingrong everything, but he couldn't help but think of the consequences she would have to bear after telling her everything.
His deep eyes darkened as he finally made his decision.
He stared fixedly at Xie Qingrong, the beautiful face that he had yearned for and never forgotten, and spoke with a heavy tone: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you any of this."
