Seeing Du Yuan like this, Du Suxi was not annoyed at all. She continued to take a deep breath, forced a smile, looked at Du Yuan and said.
"I want to know about my mother Chen Xi, her story."
Du Yuanzheng was still stunned, looking at something blankly, as if he was deep in memories.
Seeing Du Yuanzheng still looking slightly stunned, Du Suxi couldn't help but smile bitterly. What a twist of fate. Not long ago, when she was in Du Mansion, she impatiently interrupted Du Yuanzheng telling her the story of Chen Xi. How long had passed, she actually came to find out more about it. Things in the world are really unpredictable. Destiny Fool people.
Now that you have opened your mouth, you still have to listen and you cannot give up halfway. Suppressing her pride, Du Suxi spoke softly. "Master Du, have you remembered something?"
The voice is soft and gentle, which can be considered gentle and touching. It was completely different from the cold feeling she usually gave people.
Du Yuanzheng suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand and grabbed Du Suxi's hand. His eyes seemed to be filled with tears, which made Du Suxi pause. He looked at Du Yuanzheng's expression very cautiously. Don't dare to move.
"Master Du, Master Du, what's wrong with you? Are you tired?" Du Suxi raised her eyebrows and guessed with some worry.
However, Du Yuanzheng did not answer. Instead, he kept staring at Du Suxi and murmuring to himself. His originally calm face turned a little sad.
This, this, what's going on? Du Suxi swallowed a gulp of saliva and listened carefully to the murmur in Du Yuanzheng's mouth. It took me a long time to figure it out. What Du Yuan was shouting turned out to be the word "Chen Xi".
Seeing that Du Yuanzheng was about to burst into tears, Du Suxi hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, handed it to Du Yuanzheng, and said with an embarrassed smile.
"Master Du, you, are you mistaken? I am Du Sha, not Chen Xi."
One sentence finally brought back some of Du Yuanzheng's consciousness. Du Yuanzheng was startled for a moment, then came back to his senses. He looked at Du Suxi in front of him, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, closed his eyes, and opened them again. When he opened his eyes, the tears in his eyes were hidden by him.
"Why did you suddenly ask about this? Aren't you not interested?" Du Yuanzheng recovered and asked with a wry smile. But halfway through the question, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked over with excitement. Du Suxi stretched out her hand and grabbed Du Suxi's arm tightly, looking at Du Suxi anxiously and asked.
"Is it true that Chen Xi is not dead yet? She has come to find you, right? Is that so?"
He was really excited, and his hands subconsciously used force, pinching Du Suxi until it hurt. But due to Du Yuanzheng's face, Du Suxi couldn't explain it clearly. She could only force a smile, gently open Du Yuanzheng's fingers one by one, take a few steps back, and keep a few steps with Du Yuanzheng. After a long distance, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Du Yuanzheng in surprise. He didn't expect him to be so excited.
At this moment, Du Yuan looked at Du Suxi's actions and finally realized that his emotions were a bit excessive. Taking a deep breath, he managed to calm down his mood. He looked at Du Suxi awkwardly, wanting to explain, but he didn't know where to start. A person of several decades was as panicked as a child.
Du Suxi looked at this scene, took the initiative to step forward, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Du Yuanzheng, and said softly.
"Master Du, how much do you know about my mother? I hope you know everything."
Although the situation was chaotic just now, Du Suxi clearly heard Du Yuanzheng's questioning. He asked her if Chen Xi was not dead yet. Then it was very possible that Du Yuanzheng didn't know Chen Xi's identity at all. The morning light may have disappeared inexplicably.
Du Suxi secretly speculated, frowning slightly. If this is the case, then this matter will be difficult to handle. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle. If he didn’t know, he would have gone there rashly
The remote valley is really extremely dangerous. Must be carefully considered.
Du Yuanzheng slowed down and finally regained his composure. He looked at Du Suxi with a hint of apology in his eyes, and then his eyes fell on an emerald green lotus pond, and he spoke slowly.
"Your mother, she is a very gentle woman."
As Du Yuanzheng narrated, Du Suxi gradually understood the whole story based on what Du Yuanzheng said before. It turned out that the acquaintance between Du Yuanzheng and Chen Xi was extremely dramatic.
It started out like those vulgar but well-known stories from ancient times. The beautiful girl met by the lake, and then the story developed according to a very vulgar routine.
However, because Du Yuanzheng had already married his wife Ye, there was no way to give Chen Xi a status, but Chen Xi didn't mind and followed Du Yuanzheng willingly, not even being considered a formal concubine.
It's just that the old emperor who was still a young emperor also cared about the beauty. Although the beauty had already made a choice, he still couldn't forget her. Hearing that Chen Xi's life in the Du family was not good and she was pregnant again, he immediately brought Chen Xi close to his prince's palace. , accompany her day and night and take good care of her. A relationship also developed from this. However, when she was about to give birth, Chen Xi insisted on returning to the Du family. No matter how much the old emperor persuaded her, she stubbornly persisted.
After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a daughter. This daughter was naturally Du Suxi. Just when Du Yuan was very happy, Chen Xi told him that this daughter was not his biological daughter and would not give him any explanation. , disappeared mysteriously and was never seen again.
Du Yuanzheng had no choice but to believe what Chen Xi was doing, so he suspected that Du Suxi was the old emperor's daughter. He came to question her, but was denied by the old emperor. The two of them realized that if they wanted to figure out all this, they had to find Chen Xi and ask.
And as the two of them searched intensively, they finally found only a female corpse. Because she drowned in the river, her face was blurred, but her clothes, body shape, and vaguely identifiable appearance were all different. Exactly the same as Dawn.
Du Suxi listened to all this quietly, looking at Du Yuanzheng's painful appearance, her mouth moved, but she couldn't say any words of comfort.
She was also confused, was what Chen Xi said true or false? Du Suxi, whose daughter is she? What if it's true? Why not give Du Suxi to her biological father? If it was false, then why did Chen Xi lie
Everything is like a fog, which makes people go deep into it, but they can't see the way in or the way out behind them. Only by solving the mystery can the truth be revealed. But Chen Xi is the only one in all this. I know, if you want to know, you can only ask Chen Xi.
Just then, she had to go to Xiaoyao Valley. This was not her best choice. Du Suxi didn't want to go to Xiaoyao Valley unless she had to.
Du Yuanzheng raised his head and looked at Du Suxi's face, but there was a hint of reminiscence in his eyes. The mood has calmed down a lot. It's just that the expectation in his eyes has not disappeared. Much more intense.
Chen Xi is definitely not dead. Du Suxi came today and made a special trip to ask about Chenxi. He must have some clues about Chenxi. Thinking of this, Du Yuanzheng became excited and couldn't help but look at Du Suxi and asked.
"Do you have any news about Chen Xi? Is she not dead? Her? Where is she now? Can I see her?"
There was strong expectation and caution in her words, which made Du Suxi feel soft in her heart, but she was a little embarrassed to lie to Du Yuanzheng.
After thinking about it, Du Suxi used a more euphemistic way of saying it, hiding the fact that Chen Xi was the saint of Xiaoyao Valley. She just said that a few days ago, she suddenly received a letter signed by Chen Xi, so she was confused. Came here specifically to ask.
But, as the saying goes, if you tell a lie, you must use thousands of lies to make up for it.
When Du Yuan heard this, he immediately asked about the whereabouts of the letter, causing Du Su to make a fuss.
Xi suddenly felt embarrassed. I could only lie that I was in a hurry today and forgot to bring it with me, and made some nonsense about the contents of the letter, and then I managed to get through. But she had forgotten Du Yuan's expectant gaze.
This result directly led to Du Yuanzheng listening to Du Suxi slowly finish speaking without even mentioning a word about himself. The expectation in his eyes dimmed like a candlelight in the wind. A hint of disappointment flashed through his slightly cloudy eyes very quickly.
Du Suxi couldn't bear to see it, but she didn't know how to comfort him, so she had to sit opposite Du Yuanzheng obediently, looking at her nose and heart, looking at a loss.
Du Yuanzheng let out a very low sigh, his voice was as low as mumbling to himself.
"Chen Xi, has she really forgotten me? So, she won't even say a word to me?"
Although the voice was weak, Du Suxi could hear it clearly. Looking at Du Yuanzheng in front of her, Du Suxi's face turned red and she turned her head away in embarrassment, feeling a little guilty inside. Those words just now were all made up by her. Unexpectedly, a hundred words of confusion would hurt Du Yuanzheng.
Facing this old man, Du Suxi didn't know what to do. In her previous life, she was like a killing machine. She didn't have any friends or any entertainment activities. All she thought about every day was how to be better. to survive. How to avoid being chased? I have never known how to care for and comfort people.
Now faced with such a situation, she behaved as panicked and uneasy as a child. I felt panicked and at a loss.
After a long time, Du Suxi finally held back some comfort.
"Maybe, she, she has her own reasons..." As soon as she said these words, Du Yuanzheng's eyes lit up immediately, as if he saw hope. Du Yuanzheng raised his head excitedly and looked at Du Suxi, He asked happily.
"You, are you serious? Does she really have her own reasons?" That look was so aggressive that Du Suxi was a little scared, but she forced a smile and nodded.
"It should be like this. After all, you are the person closest to her. People's hearts are made of flesh. My mother should be the same way."
After piecing together a few words of comfort to Du Yuanzheng as best he could, Du Suxi tried hard to smile, but found that she couldn't smile at all, so she had to give up.
She didn't expect that Du Yuanzheng, who had always been serious about his words, would be so rude for a woman, asking what love is in the world, and making such a life-and-death commitment? Du Suxi couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
After comforting Du Yuan for a while, Du Yuanzheng calmed down. He looked at Du Suxi's not-so-remarkable face for a while and then spoke.
"You don't have to lie to me. Not only is Chen Xi not dead, but she must be living very well now, depending on her identity. I'm afraid even I don't dare to think about it. You can go back."
Du Yuanzheng turned his back, so that no one could see any of his expressions, only a tall and straight back.
Du Suxi was slightly shocked, a little surprised by Du Yuanzheng's change.
What was so wrong that people discovered the flaw? Du Suxi frowned and thought about it, but couldn't find any mistakes at all, but Du Yuanzheng seemed to have seen through what she was thinking, sighed softly, and said.
"I really can't find anything wrong with your words, but you have ignored the most important point. You are Dusha now, not my daughter, Du Suxi."
The voice was slow but sonorous and powerful. Du Suxi was startled, then understood. A wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She stared at the tall back, a bit of surprise flashing through her heart. He never expected that Du Yuanzheng would still maintain a calm mind at such a moment, and quickly analyze the calmness in his words, which really impressed Du Suxi.
"Master Du, please take good care of yourself. I'll take my leave, little lady." After a calm salute in the direction of Du Yuanzheng, Du Suxi turned and left.
