Gu Zhen murmured, as if afraid of angering Nie Xun.
"I heard that you came to Xiangyang County before, so I stopped by to take a look."
She said by the way, but anyone with a discerning eye can see it—she dressed up with thought!
In order to make her complexion look better, Gu Zhen put on delicate makeup.
She has a very good foundation, she has been carefully nurtured and dressed up over the years, and she is only twenty-four.
No wonder Zhu Qingning just misunderstood.
Nie Xun sighed, "Mrs. Liu has also seen..."
Gu Zhen's complexion turned pale, Nie Xun only said half a sentence, but the rest of the sentence was definitely an expelling word.
"You don't want to see Wei… me?"
In a trance, she felt that she could hardly breathe because of the heartache, and the ugly face made Zhu Qingning sweat for her.
Nie Xun said, "It's not that I don't want to see you, it's just... you and I are not the same people, so what if we meet?"
The calmer his tone, the more uncomfortable Gu Zhen felt in his heart, and the tears that were finally stopped collapsed instantly.
"How could it not be from the same road?" Gu Zhen grabbed Nie Xun's shoulders with both hands, and cried with her head lowered, "You know what happened back then, I didn't want it? Every time I think about it, I want to stab Meng Zhan to death. If it wasn't for him, how could you and I have been separated for so many years?"
As a lady with no status, she is indeed useless, unable to protect her son, let him be stolen by a concubine, almost die in the cold underground, and will be trampled by thousands of people before and after life. Gu Zhen also hated it in her heart, how could she not hate it
Nie Xun didn't recognize her, and she didn't force her, but why didn't he even give him a chance to make up for it
Zhu Qingning on the side, the more he listened, the more uncomfortable it became. His eyes were filled with suspicion, and he secretly looked at her husband.
"I know all of this... But what if I know? Everything that should have happened has already happened." Nie Xun said, "Mrs. Liu, look away. You can just pretend... That baby boy was buried alive back then. I am Zhongzhao Nie's adopted son, not Meng Zhan's second son."
For Nie Xun, nurturing kindness is far greater than giving birth to kindness.
Gu Zhen is pitiful, but he deserves Nie Xun
His life was not only brought by the woman in front of him, and what she missed was not just a son.
Besides blood ties, how are they different from strangers
He didn't owe Gu Zhen, and Gu Zhen didn't owe him, so it was meaningless to forcibly make up.
Nie Xun was willing to treat Gu Zhen as an elder, but he couldn't force himself to treat her as an adoptive mother.
The relationship between parents and children is not determined by blood.
After listening to their conversation, Zhu Qingning realized that the "Mrs. Liu" in front of her was Liu She's successor and her husband's biological mother.
At this time, the daughter in his arms also cried.
Babies can cry whenever they want, no matter what the adults do, regardless of the occasion, place and time.
Seeing this, Gu Zhen immediately held back the whimper in her throat, and then wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, not even taking care of her makeup.
Zhu Qingning touched it, and said in a low voice, "It's probably because I urinated, so my concubine is going to call the nanny over here. Madam, would you like to take care of it?"
Gu Zhen was naturally unable to ask for it. When the unique milk fragrance of babies floated into the nasal cavity, the tears that were finally stopped poured out again.
The baby girl in front of me is the daughter of that child back then—
time flies.
Gu Zhen didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Nie Xun was very helpless to his wife's actions.
He wanted to cut off Gu Zhen's thoughts directly, just keep the superficial friendship between the two, there is no need for deep friendship, and what kind of relatives are involved.
Gu Zhen lowered her head to coax the child, her voice was like a mosquito, as if a little louder would make Nie Xun unhappy.
Faced with this situation, a rational person like Nie Xun couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy, and his peaceful heart was also chaotic.
"I'm here this time, I don't mean to force you to recognize each other, I just want to see if you're doing well, and where I can help you..." Gu Zhen spoke in a low voice, the more she was like this, On the contrary, Nie Xun is not good at being tough.
Nie Xun said, "I'm fine."
Gu Zhen said in an almost pleading tone, "Then I... can I come over to see this child from time to time?"
Nie Xun said, "I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."
Gu Zhen's face turned completely pale, as if someone had stabbed her in the heart with a knife.
Zhu Qingning came over just to hear these two sentences, and gave her husband an angry look.
How come you only speak half of it
She said, "Mrs. Liu likes this child very much?"
Gu Zhen knew that Zhu Qingning was her daughter-in-law, but unfortunately her son couldn't recognize her, let alone her daughter-in-law.
"Naturally like it tight."
Zhu Qingning said, "If Mrs. Liu likes it, is it possible to bring the child to the palace to harass her when she is free?"
Nie Xun's expression changed, but he didn't say anything to interrupt her.
Gu Zhen nodded quickly and couldn't help but said, "How can this be considered harassment? If you come, you can stay here."
"Cheng Yun's status is a little bit... In order to prove his innocence, it is naturally not suitable to publicize it. Visitors in the house can push it. Mrs. Liu should not take his words to heart, he has this temperament." Zhu Qingning smiled, " Let the nurse take the baby down and change it?"
After Zhu Qingning said this, Gu Zhen felt a lot better, and there was a faint hope.
She handed the child to the nurse who had been waiting for a while, and after thinking about it, she took off the bracelet on her hand.
"I came in a hurry today, and I didn't bring any gifts. I saw that the child had a relationship with me, and I liked it at a glance." Gu Zhen asked Zhu Qingning to accept the gift for the child, and said humbly, "This bracelet has been with me for many years, some years. , don't despise it."
Zhu Qingning's eyesight was not bad, so he could see that the gift from Gu Zhen was really good.
Since it was given to her granddaughter by her grandmother, she accepted it politely, so as not to make the other party sad again.
Reluctantly watching the child being carried away by the nurse, Gu Zhen only withdrew her gaze until she disappeared.
"I also understand Lan Ting's temperament, if it's because of this..."
Nie Xun knew what she was going to say, and categorically refused, "No."
Gu Zhen could only swallow the rest of the words back in her stomach, Zhu Qingning looked at the atmosphere that had finally eased and stiffened again, feeling helpless.
"Then why?"
Nie Xun said directly, "I have no plans to serve again."
"Why?" Gu Zhen didn't seem to expect that he would give this answer, so he couldn't help asking, "Could it be that Lan Ting refused?"
Nie Xun is Jiang Pengji's cousin in name and blood.
A family, not to say that they are completely biased, but there is some secret care.
The king was defeated and the bandit was defeated. Huang Song had already been defeated. What was wrong with Nie Xun as an old minister to choose the master and assistant again
Nie Xun lowered his eyes and said, "No, it's my own reason."
No matter how bad Yuan Xin was, what kind of disagreements he had with Nie Xun, the only person who could deal with him was Huang Song.
However, Nie Xun passed over Huang Song and planned to kill Yuan Xin.
No matter what the reason for his doing, it is also a betrayal of Huang Song.
At the same time, this is also the most taboo move by the superior.
The courtiers were killed because of personal disputes, who knew that they would not respond
When Nie Xun made up his mind to kill Yuan Xin, he had already made a decision.
If it was Huang Song who won, he would resign to Huang Song and go into complete seclusion.
If Jiang Pengji wins, he will no longer be in office, and he may learn from his father-in-law to be a teacher.
