"Xu Ji? Why is it you?" Although Qin Shu was surprised, he was also slightly happy.He brought Liang Xiao along on his own initiative without any prior discussion.But if someone else is entrusted to take care of Liang Xiao, he can't rest assured for no reason.Meng Zhang is newly married, it's even worse for this child to disturb her.What's more, in the current situation, he and the child are actually dependent on each other.Seeing the acquaintance Xu Ji now, I'm afraid it will be easier to talk.

Xu Ji didn't answer, and rushed over with his head down.

There were still some rough spots on the road, Xu Ji stumbled as he ran, he hurriedly said: "Slow down..."

As he said that, Xu Ji tripped and jumped forward. Fortunately, Qin Shu was not far away from him, so he grabbed him first.

Xu Ji hugged one of his feet and shook it twice to stand firm.He didn't think it was dangerous at all, he just smiled.

Qin Shu didn't realize that his smile was a little weak, and it was more or less to embolden himself.Just seeing his cute appearance, she also smiled and bent over to hug him.

Before he had time to speak, he saw the other person standing next to the carriage, and the smile immediately froze on his face.

Yi Zhen wanted to come over, but hesitated to go forward, stood there awkwardly looking around, as if hoping to find something to come out of the siege.But there is no one else around.He had no choice but to hold back and whisper: "Xiao Shu."

Although the voice was very soft, the person on the opposite side obviously heard it, and took a step back in response.Now that he saw Yi Zhen, there was still a reason why he didn't understand Xu Ji's identity.Immediately, Xu Ji, who was still in his arms, became a hot potato, and was neither hugged nor thrown for a while.

Xu Ji sensed something was wrong very keenly, and immediately stretched out his hand pitifully and hugged his neck tightly, leaning on him and refusing to get off the ground, begging for mercy in a panicked whisper: "Don't throw me, don't throw me, you Don't leave me!"

The one who reacted normally among the four was Liang Xiao. He met Yi Zhen once when he sent Xu Ji back that time, and he still remembers it vividly. He smiled at Yi Zhen and greeted him politely: " Hello Uncle Xu..."

Yi Zhen's eyes fell on him with unexpected surprise, he couldn't help but said softly with a smile: "My surname is Yibu Xu."

Liang Xiao was a little surprised, and was about to ask again, when Qin Shu pulled him back.The force of pulling his arm became a little heavy, Liang Xiao staggered two steps, looked up, but saw Qin Shu's face turned pale, which shocked Liang Xiao.

Xu Ji still leaned on him and refused to get off, so Qin Shu could only hold him with one hand, and with the other, he pulled Liang Xiao behind him, and stopped him with his body.

For many years, he has always felt that he will be found by Yi Zhen one day, just like a sharp sword who doesn't know when it will come down, and he doesn't know whether it will be done silently or shockingly, but there is always a big rock hanging in his heart On, as if it was an inescapable spell.When this day really came, he felt that everything was coming to an end, and he didn't have any fear, but a feeling of relief at last.

He was very vigilant, but Yi Zhen stood there without doing anything else, which allowed him to adjust his emotions, and said in a deep voice, "Master Hou."

Yi Zhen had expected that he would panic and be inexplicably angry, and even guessed that he would pounce on him and want to kill him, so he was ready for a few blows.Seeing him so calm, he was startled at first, and then he was filled with joy. It was much better for him to face himself so calmly than he hated himself to the bone.He nodded with a blank smile, and said softly, "Xiao Shu."

His voice was too gentle, with a little confusion and fascination.

There was a slight flash of anger in Qin Shu's eyes, but he tried his best to restrain himself in front of the child, and said in a tone of disgust and impatience: "After so many years, is Hou Ye not tired of it? Hou Ye himself said that Yes, let me go."

Yi Zhen really wanted to say that I regret it, or that he just said something casually at the time, but he swallowed all these words when he saw his clear eyes that were slightly squinted.He froze for a moment, then looked at Xu Ji: "Xiao Ji has always wanted to see you, I think he has the right to take a look at you... I miss you very much, and I want to see him too..."

Qin Shu heard what he said, but immediately stopped in front of Liang Xiao, and pushed back the half of his small head that was exposed to look at him.

Yi Zhen was silent for a while, then slowly walked in front of him.

"Have you always hated me? What happened to your mother and sister back then was purely an accident, not me..."

"I hate it." Qin Shu interrupted him, but his tone was as calm as saying that the weather was fine. "Anyone who has been treated like that will definitely regard the other party as an enemy, even if the matter of my mother and sister has nothing to do with you."

When he realizes that the glory he fought for has turned into meaningless light and shadow, he will look back and think about the days when he was willing to endure humiliation, which is a cheap joke in the eyes of others.Since it was just a joke, then he felt that he could hardly see the pain in his heart at that time, and now that he thinks about it, he has survived it, but that's all.Leaving aside this meaning, Yi Zhen is just a master who has a bad temper and oppresses his slaves, and his bad luck is the slave who met the evil master.If you hate me, you hate me, but what can he do.

In the end, he had to accept his life for the first half of his life, and tried not to recall the experience at that time.Let it become more and more blurred in memory, and all kinds of wounds are still there, but as long as you don't touch it, you won't feel so painful.Day after day is as clear as yesterday, but the following years have never faded in memory. ——Then he was stupid, he almost wished that he was stupid, so he wouldn't know what pain was—whether he wanted to admit it or not, those were rare and lighter days in his life.

Yi Zhen took a slight breath, "Then you..."

"I'm just a small person. I know that I have no chance to take revenge on Lord Hou in this life, so I can't help him. I can't bear the consequences of revenge." He glanced at Yi Zhen. "You don't need to say those words in Hou Ye's heart. If you really feel sorry for me and treat me like I have never existed in this world, then that is all you can give, and what I need most."

Yi Zhen is very familiar with the days when he has suffered physically and mentally over the years. Finally, Qin Shu's people are in front of him. Of course, he will not stop like this, but those who are willing to take care of him and make up for him, compared with the harm he caused, say It's really inappropriate to come out.

Yi Zhen thought for a while, and pointed to Liang Xiao behind him who still couldn't help but look around: "But, he is also my child, and he can't live in such chaos..." He really wanted to say, Qin Shu's love for this child education, it is a bit indifferent.

"He has nothing to do with you!" Qin Shu's eyes flickered with panic, desperately trying to hide Liang Xiao who didn't know where he was, and he even forcibly put Xu Ji, who had been hanging on him, on the ground forcibly. Xu Ji hugged his feet, cried and rolled on the ground, refusing to get up.Liang Xiao wanted to pull Xu Ji, but he pulled him over, slightly opening his hands to protect him.

"Uncle Yi..." Liang Xiao vaguely heard some clues, and couldn't help interjecting. He looked up at Yi Zhen from the gap between Qin Shu's arms, with a look of confusion and expectation on his face, hesitatingly said: "You are, are you my father?"

"He's not! You are the child that Uncle Meng picked up to raise!" Qin Shu suddenly turned his face to stare at him. Liang Xiao had never seen him talk to him with such a serious expression.He couldn't help being startled, but in the end he still didn't dare to disobey Qin Shu, and murmured: "But..." His voice gradually died down, and he lowered his head. The moment he lowered his head, tears rolled in his eyes. Rolling back and forth, Liang Xiao bit his lip to prevent it from falling.

Yi Zhen's face changed slightly, he felt guilty towards Qin Shu, but he couldn't allow him to treat Liang Xiao like this, and watch his son being wronged.Xu Ji was still sobbing and rolling on the ground crying.Kicked lightly on the butt by him: "Get up. Play with my brother for a while."

Xu Ji looked at his father's face, and immediately stopped crying, got up from the ground and went to pull Liang Xiao.

Qin Shu hesitated for a while, he really didn't want to be alone with Yi Zhen, but he didn't want the child to hear some words, so he finally let go of Liang Xiao's hand: "Go." He paused and said While speaking, he glanced at Xu Ji again: "Don't listen to Xiao Ji's nonsense."

Xu Ji exclaimed: "I'm not talking nonsense." Yi Zhen glared at him lightly, and pulled Liang Xiao to the nearby bushes to pick wild flowers.

Yi Zhen watched the two children go a little further away, and couldn't hear the words from here, so he sighed softly: "Xiao Shu, I finally saw you, and I really want to get back together with you. I don’t want to live the days of swords and swords in the past. You hate me and blame me because of what I did before. I don’t have any words to tell, but you can’t treat an innocent child like this! Have you forgotten that before he was born, How much you like him..."

He kept staring in the direction of the child, with undisguised love and doting in his eyes.

Qin Shu looked at him, and suddenly laughed at himself in a low voice: "My child...do you remember my sister?"

Yi Zhen was slightly startled, and suddenly lost the momentum of asking the teacher just now, and answered with difficulty after a long time: "You should already know by now that she is not our child."

"To Lord Hou, she is of course irrelevant and not a pity to die, but in my heart, she has always been my child." Qin Shu's voice seemed to have been soaked in cold water, with a sense of coolness. With exhausted hatred and pain, as well as exhaustion that is difficult to sort out. "At that time, I kept thinking, if she wasn't my child, would she have lived forever? I don't know how tall she would be in the future, she could run, jump, talk and laugh... she is still alive now !"

Yi Zhen seemed a little timid in front of him, at this moment he just wanted to slap himself hard, and stammered: "My sister died of illness back then, I took her away, and later when the big doctor examined her ...She was already sick, she was not in good health, and she couldn't support herself...I didn't fall or fall to her death..."

It was the first time Qin Shu heard such an explanation, and he was slightly taken aback, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.He said softly, "So what? My sister is dead."

He stared at Yi Zhen with a pair of eyes that were so calm and frightening, but Yi Zhen preferred that he yelled full of hatred, instead of being like now, where wherever he looked, he felt like a knife-like wedding scene pain.

"Being my child is not a happy thing!" Qin Shu's voice was not high, but he said it in one breath. At the beginning, even Meng Zhang asked him what he didn't say. Now he is accompanied by resentment and unwillingness, but in this The culprit had been talking nonchalantly before, but his words were more difficult to resist than the most severe interrogation.It seemed as if he wanted to vomit all the pent-up in his heart over the years. "I want him to live well, even as a child without father and mother, he can live well. Don't be like a sister!"

"He has hands and feet, is smart and capable, and will be able to support himself in the future. There is nothing wrong with living his little life happily. What can the Marquis give him? Apart from fine clothes and food, such a man born by a man An identity? Is it a glorious and happy thing for him to live under the strange eyes of others all his life? If Hou Ye really loves him and thinks about him, then don't disturb his current life. The burden of national hatred and family hatred is too heavy , I'm already tired, and I don't want him to bear the burden any longer in this life."

"But he is different from my sister, he is my child, my own son! I will do my best to treat him well." Yi Zhen argued, but his confidence still seemed lacking.

"Master Hou already has a little Ji, so he should be content." He hesitated for a while, and finally asked softly: "There is also Jian An. Where is he now? How is he doing?"

"I left him in the capital." Yi Zhen's heart moved slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He was willing to inquire about Jian An's whereabouts, but it wasn't that he didn't miss the past at all. Moreover, he still remembered Jian An, and probably also remembered that day. In three years, there are a few more opportunities.

After thinking about it, he still said frankly: "I was afraid that you would accidentally meet him, so I didn't bring him this time. Do you want to see him? I'll pick him up in a few days."

"No need. Just wait for him." Qin Shu shook his head, and said after a while: "With Xu Ji's temper, you don't usually bully him?"

Yi Zhen said: "Of course not, I'm watching."

Although Qin Shu didn't quite believe it, he glanced at him and stopped talking.
