"Xie Li, take the exam well!" Song Huixin waved his hand and shouted loudly.
"Silly Jiaojiao, I'm so far away, my dear son-in-law can't hear her." Song Fei looked at her dotingly, smiling helplessly.
Song Huixin's voice was a little hoarse. Hearing this, he shook his head and whispered, "He will hear it."
The next second, Xie Li, who was a hundred meters away, raised his arm and waved.
"Look!" Song Huixin immediately smiled and said in a cheerful tone, "He heard it!"
Seeing the two of them like this, everyone gave each other a tacit smile.
Everyone waited for a moment until Xie Li's figure walked into the corner, then got on the carriage and dispersed one by one.
As the carriage reached Dongshi, a figure suddenly jumped out, scaring the driver. Fortunately, the rope was tightened in time, so no one was injured.
The car was turbulent. Bai Ji opened the curtain fiercely, frowned and cursed, "How did you drive? If you hurt my wife, I must punish you severely!"
The coachman felt aggrieved and whispered, "Miss Baiji, this person suddenly jumped out and frightened the horse, which almost caused trouble."
When Bai Ji heard this, he followed the coachman's hand and pointed towards him. When he saw the person coming, his originally vicious eyes suddenly glazed over and he could not regain his consciousness for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Fang Xu saw that she had lost her reaction and asked aloud.
Bai Ji turned around and pursed his lips, not knowing how to speak.
"Why, is there some kind of man-eating beast outside?" Fang Xu looked at her with reproachful eyes.
"...Almost." Bai Ji swallowed, his eyes wandering, "The person who stopped the car outside...was Xie Shu'er..."
Fang Xu frowned, "Xie Shu'er?"
Bai Ji nodded, looking like he was about to speak but hesitated.
Fang Xu saw that she was struggling, so he simply opened the curtain and looked outside. After just one glance, he was also surprised.
It had only been two months since we last met, and Xie Shuer had lost her human appearance. The clothes on her body were full of patches, and some of the gaps had not even been patched up. The clothes did not fit her well, and her hair was very messy.
Seeing Fang Xu, Xie Shuer's mouth tightened and she began to cry miserably, "Mother... wu wu wu mother..."
Fang Xu remained calm and looked at her quietly.
To the east is the bustling market, and this time is when the morning market is crowded with the most people. When Xie Shuer made such a fuss, the people all looked over.
"Mother, my daughter, please, please love me!" Xie Shuer knelt on the ground, banging her head.
Fang Xu looked away and whispered, "Detour and go home."
Hearing this, Xie Shuer's face instantly turned pale with fright. She knelt down and took a few steps forward. She shook her head and cried, "Mother! My daughter knows she is wrong. My daughter really knows she is wrong!"
Fang Xu paused and looked at her suspiciously.
Xie Shuer cried with snot and tears, and her figure kneeling on the ground was extremely thin.
Fang Xu lowered his eyes and looked at her belly.
Because the clothes were ill-fitting and were extremely tight around the waist and abdomen, the lower abdomen was surprisingly flat.
Xie Shuer is already three months pregnant, and her belly can never be so flat.
Fang Xu raised his eyes and looked at her with a cold tone, leaving only one sentence, "Qingshan Teahouse is waiting for you."
Qingshan Teahouse was a place where the original owner often took Xie Shuer, so it was impossible for her not to know about it.
After saying that, Fang Xu lowered the car curtain and closed his eyes to rest.
The driver turned the car around and drove towards the Qingshan Tea House.
Xie Wanzhou sat in the carriage, her hands on her knees tightening and loosening, then loosening and tightening, but in the end she didn't say anything.
-
Qingshan Tea House
Fang Xu went upstairs for a long time before Xie Shuer came slowly.
Seeing Fang Xu, Xie Shuer wiped away the tears on her face and forced a smile, "Mother, my daughter came a little late."
Now when I see him, he can't even salute.
Xie Wanzhou on one side saw her, stood up, knelt down and said, "I've met my sister."
Looking at Xie Wanzhou, who was dressed in a brocade robe and skirt and behaved dignifiedly and politely, Xie Shuer's mouth twitched upwards with a forced smile, "Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time."
The tone was unexpectedly gentle, which was surprising.
Not to mention Xie Wanzhou, even Fang Xu was stunned.
So polite...is it really Xie Shu'er?
Fang Xu raised his eyes, holding the tea cup, and said in a calm tone, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Xie Shuer's face froze, and the smile at the corner of her mouth slowly disappeared. Under the gaze of the two of them, she knelt down with a plop, "Mother, my daughter is unfilial!"
Fang Xu paused and looked at the top of Xie Shu'er's head, with an unpredictable expression.
Xie Shuer knelt on the ground and said in a piteous tone, "The evil girl is willing to kneel in front of the ancestral hall for a whole month and beg mother for forgiveness!"
Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, slowly put down the tea cup, and whispered, "I remember I made everything clear on the day I sent you out of the house, why did you say this?"
Xie Shuer sniffed and shed tears, "Mother... my daughter... was wronged in the Pei family."
Fang Xu became interested and asked, "What's going on?"
Xie Shu'er bit her lower lip and whispered, "Pei Lang's father is addicted to alcohol. When he drinks too much, he beats people. One day he drank too much and picked up a bench and hit people. My daughter's child..."
As Xie Shuer said this, she put her hand on her belly and couldn't stop crying.
Fang Xu understood and lowered his eyelids.
As expected, Pei Guangzhi couldn't change his habit of eating shit, and he fell back into his old habits.
"He even beat you?" Fang Xu looked at the tea leaves in the cup, but he asked Xie Shu'er.
Xie Shuer lowered her head and murmured, "Ever since he was wronged in the Houfu last time, he started to do something to me..."
Fang Xu raised his eyes and looked quietly at her thin face.
She was born to the original owner in ten months' pregnancy. She took over her body and should have taken good care of her family. However, Xie Shuer killed her mother out of love, and she was really unable to accept it.
Will a person with such a heart... really change his mind?
This time, if you become soft-hearted, you may risk your life.
"What do you want?" Fang Xu stared at her, not wanting to miss any of her expressions.
Xie Shuer knelt on the ground, with piercing eyes and a sincere tone, "Xie Shuer only asks for your mother's forgiveness so that my daughter can fulfill her filial duty under your knees!"
Fang Xu stared at her with an indifferent expression, "Xie Shu'er, our relationship as mother and daughter has been exhausted. I cannot agree to this request."
She would never put such a time bomb next to herself.
Xie Shuer's eyes were red, she clutched her clothes tightly, and whispered, "Does mother really hate me so much?"
"Hate is out of the question." Fang Xu looked at her with no ripples in his tone, "If you really regret the mother-daughter situation and are willing to leave the Pei family, I can find a job for you and give you a life. A stable place to return.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Shuer's eyes were a little wandering, she bit her lower lip and said, "Leave... Mother, my daughter has no intention of leaving the Pei family..."
Fang Xu frowned and said coldly, "The Pei family treats you this way, and you're not willing to leave?"
Xie Shuer rubbed the corners of her clothes and murmured, "But it's not Pei Lang's fault..."
Fang Xu closed his eyes and said impatiently, "In this case, I have nothing to say."
Simply let go of the need to help others and respect the fate of others.
Xie Shu'er knelt forward and said, "Mother, Shu'er only wants one thing from you!"
