Doctor Wu shook his head to express his ignorance, then looked at Xiao Shangshu in confusion:
"Master Xiao is a second-rank official of the current dynasty. Since Meng Jie is your son, how can anyone dare to throw him into a mass grave?"
Xiao Shangshu said bitterly: "He actually changed his surname to Meng? He must have blamed me for not protecting him. It's embarrassing to say that Jie'er's maiden name is Meng. Because of family disputes, he had a big quarrel with me and took Jie'er with him. After leaving the house, I have been missing since. I have been searching for them for many years to no avail, but I never expected that they would suffer such a disaster."
Doctor Wu: "That's it. Looking at Meng Jie's attitude, he seems to have a lot of complaints against you. If he doesn't want to return to the Xiao Mansion, please Master Xiao not to force this disciple of mine."
Xiao Shangshu: "Don't worry, Doctor Wu. I've been looking for him for many years just to care for him and I won't force him to do anything he doesn't want to do. I want to talk to Jie'er alone? Is it convenient?"
With permission, Xiao Shangshu was taken to the next room by Doctor Wu.
Xiao Shangshu opened the door, Meng Jie turned around and saw him, turned his head and said coldly:
"What are you doing here? I don't want to see you."
Xiao Shangshu ignored his sarcastic remarks. After closing the door, he looked up and down like a loving father:
"I have been looking for you mother and son for many years, and I just learned that you were in trouble. I feel sorry for you for not protecting you. Fortunately, God has blessed us and gave us another day to reunite father and son. I hope you are standing well. You don’t even know how happy I am in front of me.”
Meng Jie: "Don't put it nicely. The people who chased us back then kept saying that they were ordered by the minister to kill my mother and me! My mother and I have fled the city and don't want to fight with that mother and son anymore. , why can’t you let us go?!”
Xiao Shangshu said with a face full of shock: "How could it be me? Even if tiger poison does not eat its seeds, even if I have some disagreement with your mother, how could I kill you?"
"If it's not you, who could it be? Who dares to falsely convey the order of the Minister of Industry?"
"I don't know either. Maybe they are my political enemies and are doing this to drive a wedge between you and my father and son. Do you know any of the people who are chasing you?"
Seeing Meng Jie sullen and silent, Xiao Shangshu continued:
"Jie'er, please think about it carefully. If it's really my person who kills his wife and children, such a private and unscrupulous thing, once anyone knows about it, my reputation will be ruined. If I do it, I will naturally send someone close to me to do it. How could you not recognize the people around me during this time?"
"Besides, since those people killed you, how could they leave you alone?"
Meng Jie glared at Xiao Shangshu: "Do you dare to swear that it wasn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Shangshu Xiao raised his hands solemnly and swore:
"I, Xiao Weizhong, swear to God that if I kill my wife and children, I will be punished by God! After my death, I will fall into the Abi Hell and will never be reincarnated!"
Meng Jie was stunned for a moment after listening to Xiao Shangshu's words, and then turned aside with a cold face:
"Master said that Xiao Siming's injury will heal after a period of time. Don't worry, I will not blame him for the hatred of the previous generation. Before my mother died... she told me not to take revenge or hate you... "
Xiao Shangshu regretted and said: "Your mother was a good woman, but I didn't treat her well. It's too late to regret now. Where is she buried? Can you take me to pay homage?"
Xiao Shangshu and Meng Jie stayed in the room for an hour before coming out.
Before leaving, with hope in his eyes and even a hint of flattery in his expression, he asked Meng Jie if he was willing to return home.
