The sword god brushed the Taoist robe

Xia Ningru is actually not a heartless person. At the age of the weak crown, he does not have the aura he has now. Although he has some assertiveness, his temper is far inferior to today's domineering and paranoid, and it is even more impossible to use the most radical methods to kill himself. brought his son back to him and forced him to stay.

It is said that the daughter of the Xu family was not his own fancy, but Xia Ningru's mother. The daughter of the Xu family is bright and tolerant. Several years, until the year when Qiu Wandai disappeared.

The cause and effect of Sikong Zhaixing's investigation is not as complete as last time, but I heard that Xia Ningru's mother liked this daughter-in-law so much that she didn't even add a concubine to Xia Ningru, and Xia Ningru didn't have such a wish. After Qiu Wandai was born, the status of Xu's daughter became more and more stable.

At least that's how it looks on the surface.

Qiu Wandai blinked his eyes, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean, at least on the surface? Could it be that my mother is so overbearing that she can't tolerate others?" Later generations pay attention to one-on-one, but in this era, they want to pay attention to a lifetime of a couple. , especially for everyone like them, is such a thing really difficult?

The corners of Sikong Zhaixing's mouth twitched: "I just heard the gossip, so you can believe it or not. It is said that these are the things that the Shunning Hou Mansion wants others to see." Just like what Xia Ningru did after the accident Generally, they only want to show people the truth that they want to show others.

Back then, the Marquis of Shunning was not the first class in the elite circle, and the Xu family's marriage with them was considered a strong alliance, and it could barely be regarded as being on the edge of the top elite.

For quite a few years, it was impossible for them to imagine that a situation like Xia Ningru's low profile would happen.

"So you mean..." Qiu Wandai understood a little bit, "In fact, they didn't seem to be developing in a low-key way back then, but they wanted to go further by getting promoted?"

"It should be said," Sikong Zhaixing has a general understanding of the scale of the Bliss Gate, "Xia Ningru has already surpassed the goals set by his predecessors at this point," although on the surface Xia Ningru In a state of seclusion, but in private, he already has the capital to compete with the current emperor.

"Is this the legendary breeding of tigers?" Qiu Wandai rubbed his chin and asked.

Ximen Chuuxue, Sikong Zhaixing: "..."

Qiu Wandai looked at the two of them strangely: "What I said makes sense."

Sikong Zhaixing nodded: "Actually, it makes sense, but after listening to me, of course I want to emphasize again that this story has been going on for more than ten years, and it is normal that some of the truth has been lost. Has Xia Ning The part you fill in is also open to discussion.”

Qiu Wandai nodded: "So you can tell it first, I was just listening to it as a story."

At that time, Xia Ningru's parents wanted to make the Marquis of Shunning go further, but they didn't expect that Xia Ningru didn't want to do this at all. Although he didn't have deep feelings for his wife, after he had a son, such behavior It is also becoming more and more obvious.

But it seems that only Xia Ningru and his wife think so.

Qiu Wandai commented on this: "I think your story should be a story." There is no accurate source of information, so this story may not be true, but it may also be groundless, not necessarily without reason.

But there is a voice in Qiu Wandai's heart reminding him that this story is really very likely to be true.

The days when he was forced to stay with Xia Ningru, how Xia Ningru treated Xia Qin, and how he treated him, of course, the treatment here is not about threats, but about the treatment of his children in life. Beloved, Qiu Wandai was also shaken because of this, but unfortunately he still couldn't accept the way Xia Ningru brought him back, so those shakes were only for a moment, and soon Qiu Wandai came to his senses.

Xia Ningru is very gentle, and she has enough patience with Xia Qin, not only doting on him, but even pampering her, as if she wished to put the best things in the world in front of her son.

Of course, at a certain time, Xia Ningru also put the worst side of the world in front of them, regardless of whether Xiao Xiaqin and him could understand or accept such a thing.

Sikong Zhaixing looked at him angrily, "I said earlier that it might not be right, and I'm also very worried, okay?"

Qiu Wandai curled his lips, "I suddenly feel that these are the news released by Xia Ningru again."

Sikong Zhaixing was startled, with a bit of hesitation on his expression, "What if he really released it?"

Ximen Chuuxue had a different opinion: "If he knew that we were investigating his weaknesses, it would be impossible to release such news."

Qiu Wandai held Ximen Chuuxue's hand tightly: "In fact, he is very likely to be such a person. He likes to spread everything out, and he thinks it doesn't matter." Including the traps he designed before, the tricks he left behind , the Bliss Gate he controls, his business, almost everything he has told Qiu Wandai.

"Then why did he try so hard to cover it up?" Of course, isn't this a very unreasonable thing?

"You're wrong," Qiu Wandai shook his finger, "He tried his best to cover it up for outsiders to see, not for me."

Sikong Zhaixing's eyes became complicated again, "No way? He already knew?"

Qiu Wandai also had doubts in his heart, and he didn't want to be sure, but Xia Ningru took Xia Qin with him today, but left himself behind smoothly.

"Are you sure it's impossible for Xia Ningru to know when you asked about this?" Qiu Wandai asked after thinking about it.

Sikong Zhaixing's expression was a bit hesitant.

Qiu Wandai sighed, "Actually, it's also possible that I was overthinking it." If Xia Ningru was willing to talk about what happened back then, then the most likely way he would choose is to be honest with him directly, rather than through Sikong Zhaixing. The investigation told him everything. He was unwilling to say it at the beginning, and he may not be willing to say it now.

Not to mention telling outsiders like Sikong Zhaixing.

"Anyway, I didn't get these news from Uncle Guisun and Dazhi Datong." Sikong Zhaixing spread his hands.

Qiu Wandai: "..."

"You haven't finished." Ximen Chuuxue said suddenly.

Sikong Zhaixing was like waking up from a dream, "Okay, let's continue."

It was heard, and it was heard.

Xia Ningru likes to live a quiet and peaceful life. He doesn't like fighting for power and profit, and he thinks that the situation at that time has made him quite satisfied, but his mother is an ambitious person.

Qiu Wandai discovered another problem: "The person you mentioned earlier does not include my grandma, only grandpa." At that time, Sikong Zhaoxing inferred that the old Shunning Marquis died first, and then his mother took him to escape. After going out, Xia Ningru burned down the old house afterwards, so his grandma was never mentioned from the beginning to the end. This family now only has Xia Ningru, Xia Qin and his three masters, so where did it come out? a grandma.

Sikong Zhaixing scratched his head: "Actually, I'm also wondering, last time it was Lord Shunning, but this time there is your grandma for no reason."

Qiu Wandai instantly felt that all the information provided by Sikong Zhaoxing just now was quite unreliable.

"The person who died back then was not my grandpa, but my grandma?"

Sikong Zhaixing thought for a while, and finally said: "Anyway, you are an elder, but you are not here now, so there is no need to be so particular about it."

Qiu Wandai felt that there was some truth in his heart, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"Well, my grandma wants to follow suit, so she wins over the forces behind my mother, and creates the illusion that they will be a couple for life, making people feel that their alliance is unbreakable, but Xia Ningru and my mother are not the same. Don’t think so. Could it be that their parents forced them, but they resisted because they didn’t want to.” Qiu Wandai made up a story that was quite clear.

"Back when Xia Ningru was not in power, his power was definitely not as great as it is now," Sikong Zhaixing also agreed with Qiu Wandai's opinion. "It should even be said to be very weak, otherwise he wouldn't be unable to protect you, your mother, and possibly his family."

"Let's put it this way, I always feel that you haven't got the point." After listening to the story for a long time, Qiu Wandai always understood.

"I think so too," Sikong Zhaixing nodded, "But if you don't know the background, then this story is meaningless."

Qiu Wandai gave a middle finger in his heart: "You really take these as stories?"

Sikong Zhaixing also knew it was wrong: "But it may not be true, we are just hearsay, it will help us understand Xia Ningru."

In fact, after hearing the story here, although the most critical part was omitted, Qiu Wandai had actually vaguely understood why this person's personality changed so much. He told himself to face the reality and when he had strength It is probably because he and his mother's disappearance and death made him see the truth clearly.

Of course, there should be many missing links in this story, such as whether the ambitious person was his grandpa or grandma, why is there such a big difference, can men and women be confused?

In fact, he has sincerely suspected several times that Xia Ningru is simply a child-obsessed person.

"Forget it, I can only listen to it as a story." Qiu Wandai looked at Sikong Zhaixing, "Continue?"

Sikong Zhaixing took a deep breath, "According to my inference, the Hou Shunning family may have encountered some kind of threat, or been involved in some kind of power struggle."

Qiu Wandai looked at him, and suddenly said, "It's the Gate of Ultimate Bliss."

Bliss Gate was an organization more than 30 years ago, so Bliss Gate already existed more than ten years ago.

"So, the Xia family may really have been controlling the Bliss Gate, but don't you think it conflicts with the staunch temperament of the descendants of the Xu family?"

Is that why Qiu Wandai's mother took Xia Ningru to the foot of Wudang Mountain?

Here is another suspicious point, although Xia Ningru brought him back, he did not let him worship his mother's tablet.

Could it be that his mother was still alive?
