"Xiao Yao, do you know what you're talking about?" Mrs. Xiao's complexion turned pale in an instant, she took a staggered step, barely holding on to the sofa to stabilize her body.
Xiao Yao stared at the impatient Mrs. Xiao without blinking his eyes, and said solemnly and seriously: "I have seen that child from thirty-two years ago."
Mrs. Xiao's pupils gathered together, her voice stuck in her throat abruptly.
Xiao Yao continued: "That is a very cute child, but unfortunately she is in poor health. She has been in the hospital since she was born. I asked the doctor in charge to save her life regardless of the consequences, but that child is not blessed. I just hugged her. She was once, and only once, such a small body that left her mother on the second day after she was born, never drank a sip of her mother's milk since she was a child, and she only weighed about five kilograms when she died."
"you-"
"Later Xiao Jing was born, and I took care of her with a sense of redemption. She wanted to live as humble as that poor child. Our Xiao family has been beautiful on the outside for decades, but it is dirty and embarrassing inside. You said that Xiao Jing ruined our heroic soul, you are wrong, the most damned person here is me."
Old Mrs. Xiao tightened her hands, staring intently at her son who seemed to have aged overnight.
Xiao Yao knelt down straight, "It's my fault. I was ashamed of Xue Rou, I was ashamed of Qin Ran, and I was even more ashamed of the children."
Mrs. Xiao hammered the sofa vigorously, "No, you are right, and I am also right. What is wrong is the vanity of their mother and daughter, the vanity of marrying into our Xiao family."
"If Qin Ran hadn't met me, she might have married a well-matched businessman. She is well-educated, beautiful and dignified, and she doesn't worry about having a good family. I hurt her, and I insisted on marrying her back to be responsible, and I didn't care about her." I have been with them for more than 20 years, my fault."
"Xiao Yao, shut up for me."
"Father." Xiao Yu took a step back, looked at the man who took out a gun and put it on his temple, and hurriedly backed away.
Mrs. Xiao panicked, she stretched out her hands and hurriedly said: "Son, don't be impulsive, put down the gun."
"Mother, have I asked my child if she hates me? She said no, but I can't bear it. The memories of these years are like beasts in the sea, which makes me ashamed of my ancestors. Do you want an explanation? I will give it to you today." Your statement."
"No." Mrs. Xiao grabbed his hand, "I promise you, I promise you everything, you put down the gun, quickly put down the gun."
Xiao Yao smiled wryly at himself, "Mother, I am trying my best to be a good son who obeys your orders, but I never thought of being a competent father, the child who died in my arms, the child who silently hid in the corner Li will only watch my child from a distance, and I am speechless to face it."
"It's my mother's fault. I shouldn't be so selfish, I shouldn't be so arbitrary, I shouldn't force you to give up your child. It's my mother's fault."
"It's so hard for you to give up your child. I hope you can respect me. No matter what Xiao Jing does, it's my child. I'm ashamed of them. It's my fault, not theirs."
"Yes, I won't say anything, I won't say anything." Mrs. Xiao pulled away the gun in his hand, and just sat on the ground weakly.
Xiao Yu hastily unloaded the bullets from the gun.
"You guys go out first, let me talk to the old lady alone." Xiao Yao stood up and turned his back to all the children.
The noisy living room suddenly fell silent.
Mrs. Xiao staggered back to sit on the sofa, her palms trembling unbearably because of her emotional agitation.
"Mother, you go to Jiangcheng to live for a while, and I'll come pick you up after the matters here are settled." Xiao Yu said without changing his original intention.
Mrs. Xiao turned her head and didn't look at him, "What are you going to deal with? Is it her, Qin Ran, or me?"
"Mother, it was your son's fault from the very beginning. Qin Ran was right, and Xiao Jing was even more right. I just want to make up for the guilt I have felt towards them over the years. I might die on the battlefield one day—"
"Don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Xiao's eyes turned red, "Don't curse yourself like that."
"If what I said, I don't want to sleep with guilt, I can only try my best to do what I can in my lifetime."
"Why don't you understand, how can you be so confused? They did this kind of thing to discredit the heroic souls of our Xiao family, son, although mother was mean to them a few years ago, this is not an excuse for them to lie, but they It got worse time and time again, and even tricked everyone into going to the military camp."
"She had no choice but to go to the military camp. You strongly ordered Xiao Jing to join the army." Xiao Yao squatted down and put one hand on his knee, "I didn't want her to enter the military camp, but as a son of the Xiao family, he was enlisted in the army for five years. It was necessary, so I gave up the best time to stop her."
"Confused, confused." Mrs. Xiao patted him on the back, "How can you be so stupid and let them lie like this?"
"So it's my fault anyway."
Old Mrs. Xiao clenched her hands tightly, "Send them away."
"Mother, they have lived in Cangshan for more than 20 years. Even if Qin Ran lied about her, she is still the wife that Mingmei is marrying. It's time to restore their identities."
"So you insist on sending me away?" Mrs. Xiao gritted her teeth, "I'm your mother."
"Yes, more than 20 years ago, you used your identity as a mother to force me to give up them. Twenty years later, you still use this identity to force me. Mother, besides being your child, I am also a husband and father."
"I will not admit that such a mother and daughter are descendants of our Xiao family."
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, I admit it." Xiao Yao stood up and took a deep breath, "The car has been arranged, I'll ask someone to pack something for you, and you can leave after lunch."
"Xiao Yao!" Mrs. Xiao slapped the table and stood up, but when she saw her son's determined eyes, her composure collapsed bit by bit.
Xiao Yao stood up straight and saluted, "I'll go up to see Qin Ran, please rest for a while."
"Stop." Mrs. Xiao took a staggering step, "Are you really going to send your mother away?"
"Mother, I will pick you up again in a few days." Before the words finished, Xiao Yao almost strode up to the second floor.
The cold wind overwhelmed the heating in the hall, blowing one after another until the tea was cold.
Mrs. Xiao stood alone in the middle of the living room. The huge Xiao family, the resplendent Xiao family, was actually desolate and desolate in her eyes.
The sons and grandsons she cultivated with painstaking care seemed to abandon her overnight. She was the supreme head of the Xiao family, but she became the target of public criticism.
"Grandpa, take a look at the Spirit of Heaven, this is the Xiao family you left to me." The old lady raised her head and laughed loudly, and then fell down on the sofa so straight.
"Tai Madam, Tai Madam." The butler led a group of servants to rush in anxiously, looking at the ashen-faced and motionless old madam anxiously, and hurriedly looking for medicine and doctors.
The entire Xiao family was in a mess.
Xiao Yao stood outside the door on the second floor, but stopped.
Xiao Jing stood inside the house, listening to the sudden stop of footsteps outside the door, but also did not move.
Qin Ran had already passed out. Although the wound on her back had stopped bleeding, the bloody scars could split apart with her shallow breathing, and a little more pus and blood would flow out from time to time.
Xiao Yao raised his hand and was about to knock on the door when the door opened from the inside.
Xiao Jing stood at the door, looking at each other, she said: "Mom is asleep, can you talk about something later?"
"I want to talk to you alone." Xiao Yao walked to another room.
Xiao Jing followed behind him, the two entered the room, and she closed the door.
Xiao Yao stood in front of the window, overlooking the children who were smoking in the yard, and closed the window.
Xiao Jing stood two meters away from him, bowed her head and said nothing.
"I didn't expect the old lady to notice this so soon. Maybe it was because I took your mother back to Xiao's house too impatiently, which made her start to pay attention to you. I was careless." Xiao Yao's voice was a little bit Hoarse, as if every word he spoke carried a heavy burden.
"It was my mother and I's fault. You can punish us however you want."
"Why should I punish my child?" Xiao Yao turned around and looked at her solemnly again.
Xiao Jing looked sideways to the other side, obviously a little proud and unwilling to look at him.
Xiao Yao stepped forward and let her look at him so persistently.
Xiao Jing turned her head away again, without speaking.
Xiao Yao switched to the other side again, and also persistently let her pupils reflect his own figure.
Xiao Jing gave up, she looked at him, "If you have nothing else, I'll go out first."
Xiao Yao grabbed her hand, some words were difficult to say.
"What else do you want to say?" Xiao Jing withdrew her hand like an electric shock.
"You are my child. No matter what, I will not give up my child. Even if the old lady wants to report it to the military department, I will suppress the matter. Don't worry, the Xiao family will not collapse until I have it. .”
"I see." Xiao Jing lowered her head and prepared to leave.
"Xiao Jing." Xiao Yao called softly, "Can I not hate my father?"
"I don't hold a grudge against you."
"Do you act like you forgive me? You don't even look at me?"
Xiao Jing lowered her head, there were two shadows on the ground, her hands on both sides of her body could not help clenching her fists, she said: "How dare I remember you, you are the marshal of the empire, I am just a little soldier, no matter what Whether it's status or power, I can't bear grudges against my father, who is an officer, this is disloyalty and injustice."
Xiao Yao strode forward, blocking her way, "What are you talking about?"
"How dare I say angry words to you." Xiao Jing turned around and turned her back to him again.
Xiao Yao sighed, "Still unwilling to talk to me properly?"
"How can I not talk to you?" Xiao Jing lowered her head and never looked up.
Xiao Yao once again walked in front of her, and intentionally raised her drooping head, but the child stubbornly turned away, like a proud little tiger with sharp claws, but only dared to use it to dig the soil.
"The captain has been waiting for long enough, I'm going back to the barracks." Xiao Jing wanted to leave, but she only took two steps when suddenly a figure rushed towards her. Before she could react, her body suddenly turned around. Three hundred and sixty degree rotation.
Xiao Yao hugged his proud little tiger in his arms, and smoothed his hair, "Father likes Xiaojing very much, and never thought of hurting you like this. He thought that letting you go free would make you less burdened, but he didn't expect that things would backfire. , I’ve humbled you for twenty-five years, I’m sorry, my child.”
Xiao Jing was stunned, the man's shoulders were a little thick, pressing down like a mountain, she couldn't move an inch.
Xiao Yao let go of her, and took a serious look at the child who was five points like him, "Go."
Xiao Jing turned around hesitantly, but after taking two steps, she was stopped by the person behind her.
Xiao Yao said again: "Although the relationship between you and Shen Chengfeng has been justified, but it is still at the stage of seeing light and dying. There are some things that need to be stopped, understand?"
Xiao Jing nodded awkwardly, "I know the seriousness."
"I understand things like men. Although you say you don't want it, what you think in your heart is playing hard to get. You'd better stay away from him."
"The captain is not this kind of person, I am very relieved." Xiao Jing unlocked the door.
"I know who Shen Chengfeng is better than you." Xiao Yao followed two steps, "If it really, really gets to that step, I will, I will personally go to Shen's house... to propose marriage."
"..." Xiao Jing almost ran away in despair.
Xiao Yao couldn't help sighing, with such a simple look, how could he see through the conspiracy of that bastard.
In the room, there is a faint fragrance of jasmine lingering secretly.
The drowsy figure on the bed frowned unnaturally, then the pain probably tightened, and a low murmur escaped from his mouth.
Hearing the voice, Xiao Yao raised his head instinctively, and just happened to look at Qin Ran who had just woken up. Her eyes were still misty, and she should be a little dazed.
It took about half a minute for Qin Ran to fully wake up. When she saw Xiao Yao sitting on the sofa looking through some documents, she hurriedly wanted to sit up.
"Don't move." Xiao Yao stood in front of her, pressing down on her body, "The wound was treated just now, don't break it apart."
Qin Ran became more and more ashamed, and just lowered her head like this, full of self-blame, "Master, it's my fault, and Xiaojing has no way to change the whole thing. All of this was caused by my own discretion, so don't punish her."
"Did I say that I would blame you?" Xiao Yao sat in front of her, "Heal your wounds well, don't think about this matter any more."
"master-"
"The old lady went to Jiangcheng today. During this period of time, the Xiao family still needs to be taken care of by you, so heal up as soon as possible, and don't think too much about the rest."
Qin Ran was surprised, never caring about the scars on her back, and sat up persistently, "What do you mean by that? How could you make the old lady—"
"Qin Ran, maybe I wasn't a competent husband before, but I will try my best to make up for these years in the future. The old lady has worked too hard, and it's time to take care of her. From now on, all the internal affairs of the Xiao family will be settled. I leave it to you to handle."
"Master, I, how can I, I am a sinner."
"There is no right or wrong in this matter." Xiao Yao put on a coat for her, "The child has grown up, no matter what you concealed at the beginning, it has become a mistake by now, what we want now is not to go Blame who is right and who is wrong, but make up for this mistake, Xiao Jing's current military rank is a lieutenant colonel, once it is reported that her status is different, it will be fine if she cannot keep her military achievements, and even her freedom will be lost."
Qin Ran was startled, "What crime did the master punish me for?"
"I shouldn't let you guys have their way back then. Originally, she spent the past five years in the 525 Regiment. Afterwards, I could find an opportunity to erase her military achievements, and treat these five years as an internship stage. I didn't expect to go to Tie Ying in the end, and with her ability, I thought it was impossible to stay in the Special Forces, but this child became stubborn and insisted on passing the examination."
"Is there no other way, sir?"
Xiao Yao hesitated to speak, he wanted to say that it didn't matter if he passed the assessment, he could also get her out of the Iron Eagles, but it just so happened that she had a secret love for Shen Chengfeng, and even secretly agreed, Sure enough, the girls were not accepted, and when they met Shen Chengfeng whose body was emitting hormones, he became dizzy and confused for a moment.
Now that he wants to get her out of Tie Ying, it may be as difficult as climbing the sky.
Since there is no other way to take her away secretly, then I can only try my best to let her make military achievements. If the military achievements are enough, she will be promoted to general. .
But this military merit is not something that can be obtained for nothing.
Seeing his silence, Qin Ran lost her composure even more, and hurriedly asked, "Did the master just give up on her like that?"
"There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. I will find a way. You just need to recover from your injuries." Xiao Yao lifted the quilt and motioned her to lie down.
Qin Ran wanted to ask some more questions, but she didn't dare to question the person in front of her. That was the belief in her heart. Even if he said there was someone out there, there was someone out there.
"I'll go and see the children, you can sleep a little longer." Xiao Yao tucked in the quilt, got up and left the guest room.
In the yard, the cold wind was howling. Although the sun was shining brightly, it still couldn't stop the cold east wind.
Shen Chengfeng stood tall, looking at the swirling dead leaves in front of him, he said coldly: "If you have anything to say, just say it, you three brothers have been around me for half an hour."
The wound on Xiao Yu's head hadn't been healed yet, and he stood so flesh and blood at the closest position to Shen Chengfeng. To be honest, coupled with those sinister eyes, it was a bit creepy.
