Hearing Mr. Xie ask this question, everyone in the Xie family beside the bed couldn't help but look sad.
Because none of them expected that the first thing the old man did when he woke up was to ask Feng Xi.
You must know that the current predicament of their Duke's mansion is all caused by Feng Xi. As long as she is willing to be accommodating, the Su and Yu families will not bother them at all costs.
Now Xie Lian and Xie Lang in the mansion were slapped by Feng Xi. Su's father Su Guang and Xie Lian's uncle Yu Quande were taken into custody by Feng Xi. Even Xie Bin's family had just been humiliated by Feng Xi and Qi Xiao.
Of course, Xie Wanyin felt that she must be the one who hated Feng Xi the most among all the Xie family members here.
But she concealed it very well, because she had an old relationship with Bai Yi, and she also wanted to rely on Bai Yi to leave a good impression in front of Ah Xiao.
So she slowly walked up to Bai Yi who was carrying the medicine box on his back, and said to Bai Yi who didn't want to answer with some embarrassment:
"Sister Bai Yi..."
Bai Yi raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Wanyin. Bai Yi's attitude towards her was not warm, but he said in a calm tone:
"Returning to my old master, I am here today on orders from my consort."
"The consort's destiny..."
On the bed, Mr. Xie, who had gray hair on his temples, stared blankly at the top of the bed, his eyes unclear whether they were muddy or sad.
Obviously Bai Yi was telling him that her coming had nothing to do with Feng Xi.
She was following Qi Xiao's order, and Qi Xiao probably did this because he didn't want to follow the truth and didn't want Feng Xi to be criticized by others.
Either Feng Xi knew he was sick but didn't express her opinion, or Feng Xi didn't know at all and she didn't care at all.
Yes, then why would the child care about whether he is sick or not?
He had a hunch that even if he died today, the child might not come to see him.
And he brought this upon himself.
He is confused.
That's right, when Xie Bin returned home and told him what Feng Xi and Qi Xiao had said, and when he heard Mrs. Yu say that Mrs. Yu actually wrote a letter to instruct Yu Quande, he knew that he was wrong again.
When this person gets old, he will inevitably think about reunion, family, and flourishing branches.
Thinking that everyone is harmonious, big things are reduced to trivial matters. These are all forces attached to the Duke's government. He can help as much as he can.
And it just so happened that the person in charge was his granddaughter and grandson-in-law.
But now, after walking through the gate of hell, he suddenly woke up.
His poor granddaughter is a direct descendant of the Xie family. She is the only direct descendant of the Xie family today...
How much help did he, as a husband, get from his in-laws and his wife?
Later, how much convenience and gold and silver did he get because of his daughter's marriage?
The family of Yue's family is declining, his wife and daughters have passed away one after another, and he can no longer do anything for them. Only Xi'er wants him to protect him, but he breaks the child's heart again and again.
He wanted to give the Su and Yu families a way to survive, but had they ever thought about giving the child a way to survive?
Mrs. Yu can write a letter to instruct Yu Quande, but what about Su Guang?
Considering the bad relationship between Xie Lian's family and the child, how likely is it that Su Guang didn't do it intentionally?
Thinking of this, Mr. Xie couldn't help but close his eyes.
Ridiculous, how ridiculous...
In the end, it was not his granddaughter who gave him a way to survive, but the Qi family that Xie Boyuan hated the most.
It was Qi Xiao who had never been looked at seriously by anyone since he entered the princess's residence and came to their Duke's residence.
Yes, he was as smart as he had figured out the meaning of Qi Xiao's move.
As Qi Yuanming's son, Qi Xiao would never be so kind as to help him connect with Feng Xi.
He was reminding him that if he made the wrong choice again, there would be no possibility for him and the child.
With the current attitude of the rest of the Xie family towards Feng Xi, they will only drift away from each other in the future. On the other hand, the Qi family, led by Qi Xiao, surrounds the child...
He looked at Xie Lian, who was squatting beside his bed with a gloomy expression, and then at Xie Bin, who was standing aside with pursed lips, looking unhappy but not saying much. Mr. Xie finally waved to Bai Yi, who was about to leave. , motioning for her to come to his bedside.
Bai Yi was very disgusted with the Xie family's attitude towards Feng Xi. If Qi Xiao hadn't sent someone to send a message, she would have refused to leave the palace for treatment on the spot.
Qi Xiao also said in the letter that if Mr. Xie had something to say to her, it would be okay for her to stay and listen.
Therefore, without waiting for Xie Wanyin to show his kindness, Bai Yi walked up to the bed and looked at the old man on the bed calmly.
Realizing that the old man might have something important to say, Xie Lian finally couldn't help but said:
"Father……"
However, Mr. Xie didn't even look at him. He just said to Bai Yi who was approaching with a gentle face:
"Mr. Bai, could you please give Xi'er and Qi Xiao a message for me? I am old and I don't know how many more days I can survive. I owe a lot to my wife and daughter, and I have not fulfilled the responsibilities of a grandfather. She should not recognize me..."
Having said this, the old man's eyes were a little red, but he did not stop, but continued:
"There is nothing I can do to make up for that child. I will just leave it here. I will leave the title of Ning Guogong to her."
"Father!"
"grandfather!"
"master!"
…
Several voices sounded in the bedroom at the same time. Not to mention the shock of Xie Lian and Xie Bin, even Yu, who had made a big mistake and only dared to stay on the outside, couldn't sit still.
Who did the old man want to leave the title to?
Feng Xi?
Are you kidding me?
Although Feng Xi is a direct descendant of the family, her married daughter throws water on her. She is a direct descendant of the Qi family in the royal family, but she is a direct descendant of the Xie family...
Besides, she is already the Princess Protector. What does she want from the title of the Duke of the Kingdom?
Even if she and Qi Xiao have a child in the future, they will be the crown prince and princess. Why would they want to compete with people like them who don't have titles?
"Father, I'm afraid you are sick and confused. How can you give the title to Feng Xi?"
"Master, the princess is just your grandson. Look at our Lang'er, he is your biological grandson!"
"Grandpa, are you joking?"
…
Except for Su, who had no position to speak, Xie Lian, Yu, and Xie Lang were all trying hard to get the old man to change his mind.
Although the Xie Bin family on the side did not speak, their expressions were full of disapproval.
Even Xie Wanyin, who could talk to Bai Yi with a smile before, now has a little smile on his face.
If it weren't for the old man's cronies who were also in the room, the Xie family might have wanted to kick Bai Yi out at this moment.
However, the more they behave like this, the more secure Bai Yi becomes.
Although she felt that Xi'er did not necessarily lack the title, she was still happy to do it as long as it caused trouble for people like the Xie family.
Raising his hand to flick the empty medicine bowl beside the bed to the ground, Mr. Xie directly interrupted Xie Lian and the other three's questions, and said in a weak but firm voice:
"Mr. Bai, you must tell Xi'er and Qi Xiao that this title can be left to their children, or to the direct or collateral descendants of the Xie family they designate. They don't have to care about the Xie family's title, but at least don't let me. The government, which should support them, becomes their enemy."
