The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 267

Chapter 267 She is not her, for sure!

In the days that followed, President He Songning continued to talk about Xue Qingyin with Emperor Liang De.

Father and son have been estranged for many years, and they rely on Xue Qingyin to connect them. They can only talk about her...except for her, talking about other people will inevitably touch the forbidden area.

Slowly, in the mouths of Emperor Liang De, in the mouths of Wu Shaojian, in the mouths of everyone in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city...

They outline a Xue Qingyin who is completely different not only in her personality, but also in all her acting styles and living habits.

It is common for people to change their temperament after a serious illness.

For example, the prodigal son suddenly regained his composure and returned home after his illness.

The man who was full of sins one day got tired of the life of killing and realized the true meaning of life, so he put down his butcher knife and became a Buddha immediately...

But He Songning felt in his heart that it was different.

is different!

"Sir." The boy's voice rang in his ears, suddenly interrupting He Songning's thoughts.

Since He Songning gradually recovered, the servants who used to serve him were also let in with Emperor Liang De's permission.

With these people taking care of him, He Songning's body recovered faster.

"Help me up." He Songning stretched out his hand, grabbed the boy's hand and used his strength, then stood up from the bed and said, "I'm going back to visit my mother today."

The boy was very surprised.

Why can't the young master suddenly be separated from his wife?

Soon someone came in and carried He Songning out.

"Stop." He Songning said, "Go back to Xue's house first."

He Songning returned to his old residence and ordered his subordinates to rummage through the boxes and cabinets.

"Take out all the things that the eldest girl sent to me in the past," he said.

When the young man saw this, he opened his mouth in embarrassment and said, "In the past, the eldest son... seemed to not keep many things given by the eldest girl."

He Songning was startled.

Did he... show his disgust so obviously in the past?

The maid Zhishu has now returned to He Songning. She is very smart and said immediately: "I do remember..."

"Huh?" He Songning looked at her.

"The eldest son seems to have given a box to the second girl..."

He Songning frowned.

What does it have to do with Xue Qinghe?

The magistrate added: "That was given to the young master by the eldest girl. When the box was opened, quicksand was falling. This was quite popular among the people at that time, and was mostly given to lovers. It probably meant that time was fleeting. , you and I are alone in the world..."

When she saw that thing, she thought the girl was confused.

He Songning was stunned: "Is there still this thing?"

Zhishu nodded: "You changed hands and gave it to the second girl."

He Songning: "..."

He Songning: "Go and get it back."

Zhishu hesitated. Ever since He Songning sent her to Yizhou to accompany the eldest girl last time, the second girl has been a little unhappy with her...

This eldest son favors the second girl, which is something that everyone has always kept in mind.

Although I gave this order today, what if I regret it again one day?

He Songning glanced at their expressions and realized that his previous "preference" was too obvious.

"I'll get it myself."

After He Songning finished speaking, he asked Zhishu again: "What else is there about that box?"

It seemed that he was going to complete all the things that he had no patience to listen to before.

Zhishu had no choice but to put it down and said: "It is said that some people will cut off each other's hair, tie it together and put it in. There are also people who store the blood from their fingertips in it. There are also people who secretly send their love to each other and receive the box. If people also have this thought, they will reply with a poem..."

Zhishu thought to himself, these love-loving people have many tricks to play outside.

The shop that sold boxes made a lot of money at the time, but later he died because he offended their eldest son.

At that time, Zhishu even thought about whether that person's biggest mistake was selling things to the older girl...

"Putting your love into it?" He Songning suddenly interrupted, "Replying it with poetry?"

"How to express your feelings? Can you also write a poem and put it in?" He Songning asked.

He Songning was sure.

That's what he needs.

While talking, they entered Xue Qinghe's yard.

Xue Qinghe was stunned for a while when he saw such a group of people. Then he realized what he was doing and cried with joy: "Brother! You...you are back alive!"

He Songning nodded lightly, looking a little cold: "Do you still remember..."

The bookkeeper added from the side: "Two years ago, the eldest son gave the second girl a mahogany box with the word "Sifeng" printed on the outside. I wonder where the second girl put it?"

"Sifeng" is the name of that shop.

Xue Qinghe didn't react at all: "I..."

He Songning looked at the maid aside.

The servant girls in her courtyard immediately took action and said, "The younger ones will look for the eldest young master."

Xue Qinghe didn't expect that he would look like this when they met. He felt a little uncomfortable and his face immediately fell.

He Songning glanced at her and said, "There is no one in the house now, why can't you suppress these maids and women in your courtyard?"

Xue Qinghe's nose felt sour.

Is this accusing her of being incompetent?

We haven’t seen each other for many days, and this is all he said?

Xue Qinghe bit his lower lip and couldn't hide his tears: "You have been in Yizhou for so long, how do you know how scared I am in Beijing? How do you know about my pain and grievances?"

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and stopped talking.

But this time He Songning didn't ask her any more questions.

Not quite the same as before.

But that’s okay…

She knew that although he was busy, he would always do a lot of things for her secretly...

He will naturally check...

At this time, a woman came out carefully holding a box and handed it to He Songning: "Is this it, sir?"

He Songning took it and opened it.

The sand inside is frozen and will no longer flow.

He Songning's heart was empty, and his eyes were distracted for a moment.

But soon he rummaged through the box and finally took out an envelope from the interlayer...

The wax seal on the envelope had disappeared.

It's been torn down.

He Songning looked at Xue Qinghe: "Have you ever dismantled it?"

Xue Qinghe turned his head back, his expression slightly changed: "Yes..."

"Have you read the contents?"

"……yes."

He Songning opened the letter and scanned it quickly.

It was probably Xue Qingyin accusing him of why he doted on Xue Qinghe and why he refused to look back at her. She liked him so much, she knew a lot of things, she knew everything about him and so on...

Although I didn’t say I knew everything.

But He Songning could already guess it.

She did know his true life experience very early on.

So from this point of view, she is still her and has not changed?

No, that's not right.

He Songning frowned, but quickly let go. He will not let go of any clues easily.

He Songning folded the letter and put it back, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me when you knew there was a letter inside?"

Xue Qinghe looked at him in shock: "Why should I tell you? This is what Xue Qingyin gave you. But you gave it to me... Do I want to expose my elder brother's behavior?"

She... naturally didn't think so at the time.

She had to say that when she opened the letter and saw Xue Qingyin crying in the letter, saying that her eldest brother only loved her and not her biological sister...she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and felt that she finally had someone in the Xue family. A person to rely on.

The pain is nothing.

So she said nothing and just put the box away properly.

At this time, He Songning didn't say anything, just held the box and was about to leave.

Xue Qinghe couldn't help it anymore: "Why did the eldest brother take it back? Did the eldest brother...suddenly one day feel that it is more worthy to be close to my biological sister?"

Xue Qinghe said with a wry smile.

She was described as thin and looked a little pitiful.

He Songning whispered: "Of course you have to find the lost things with your own hands."

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-feed', placement: 'Below Article Feed', target_type: 'mix' });

Xue Qinghe gritted his teeth.

Why did the gift he gave personally become a "lost thing"?

Xue Qinghe stood there coldly. Due to the persistence in her bones, she did not say anything to persuade him to stay, nor did she correct him or accuse him...

But the maids and servants around her couldn't help it.

The attitude of the eldest son determines the future of their small courtyard!

Going back to hard times?

They don't want to!

"Young Master! The second girl has been worried about you these days, and she has indeed suffered a lot. Besides, the second girl's maternal family has lost several cousins of the same generation one after another. Even the second girl's biological uncle has been imprisoned. The second girl is running around in jail, thinking very hard. How can her body survive the situation when you just leave today?" The woman cried and knelt down at He Songning's feet.

Xue Qinghe had seen how He Songning looked at his own sister indifferently.

But she didn't expect that today's indifferent gaze would eventually fall on him.

"How many of your cousins have died? Is your uncle also in jail?" He Songning asked.

Xue Qinghe made no move.

But then He Songning said: "It's a good thing. They are not close to you."

Xue Qinghe moved his lips: "But they are my last relatives in this world..."

"Isn't it father?"

"We all know that my father doesn't have me in his heart..." Xue Qinghe said tremblingly.

The former He Songning should feel sorry for her.

But today He Songning was too indifferent. Instead, he looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze: "You've always been like this..."

"What?" Xue Qinghe asked blankly.

He Songning said: "I did this to the maid Qiuxin next to you before, and now I do it to your maternal relatives who are not close to you. You always make mistakes and suffer the consequences. Your soft heart will kill others, and also It will kill you."

Xue Qinghe had never been taught such a lesson by him before. His face turned red for a moment and his whole body was shaking with anger.

How could he...

He Songning rarely spoke human words. He said: "No one is worth relying on, and there are not so many feelings worth maintaining. People can only save themselves."

"I'm leaving." He said and walked out.

It seemed like that silhouette would never come back once it left.

The maids and servants pushed Xue Qinghe anxiously: "What are you doing, Miss Second, in a daze? I think we did something wrong to make the eldest son unhappy. Miss Second, just come up and say a few soft words..."

Xue Qinghe remained motionless, his back straight.

After a long while, he murmured: "It's like a dream... It seems like I was meant to grow up in the mire and never climbed out."

"Second girl! Stop saying these words! Hurry up..."

"Don't you understand yet? He wants to repair his relationship with his biological sister. I can't stand in the way! Who am I? I am an outsider after all! I am the descendant of sinners!" Xue Qinghe pushed away the servant woman beside him and returned to the house. , covering his head with the quilt, he could no longer suppress the pain in his heart and started to cry.

The servant girl was pushed onto her buttocks and sat there in astonishment, marveling at how strong the second girl was.

This time He Songning walked out of the door, his eyes dimmed, and he whispered: "Taking action against Xue Qinghe's mother-in-law should be the gift given to Qingyin by King Xuan."

Zhishu and the others sounded a little confused: "Then we are going to rescue..."

"Save?" He Songning's thoughts gradually became clearer, "Actually, what they said is right."

who? Who is right?

Zhishu was at a loss.

He Songning said: "Since you are the one who made a mistake, you should bear whatever happens. If all of them survive, for Xue Qinghe, her shackles will be released."

Zhishu was even more confused.

So is this a good or bad thing for the second girl?

He Songning didn't say much and quickly went to Xu Zhi's place.

"Mother, have you heard from Qingyin in the past two days?" After He Songning exchanged greetings, he asked directly.

Xu Zhi said in surprise: "Yes. What?"

He Songning said helplessly: "Why didn't she write me a letter?"

Xu Zhi snorted: "I wrote it for you before. Did you read it carefully?"

He Songning said sadly: "I will take a closer look in the future. Now I have to go through the ghost gate to know what is most valuable in the world."

Xu Zhi sighed: "Then why don't you just take the initiative to write to her?"

He Songning nodded, and then said logically: "Can I take a look at the letter she wrote to her mother?"

"You didn't cherish it before." Xu Zhi shook her head, not thinking about it, and with the intention of showing off her daughter's concern, she ordered someone to bring it to him.

He Songning first clenched his fingers to suppress the surging emotions in his heart...

So many details compared.

The last item he wanted to compare now was the handwriting.

He Songning carefully opened the letter paper in his hand. The handwriting was strong and sinewy, and a strong evil breath penetrated the paper and hit his face...

He Songning's expression changed slightly: "This is not Qingyin's handwriting!"

"Of course not." Xu Zhi smiled, "This is the pen of His Highness Prince Xuan."

He Songning: "..."

Xu Zhi added: "So it's normal for Qingyin not to write to you. After all, it's all written by King Xuan, and you are now also an official of the court. If the letter you receive has King Xuan's handwriting, it may be suspected of giving or receiving privately. ”

He Songning: "......"

Is this road destined to fail?

He Songning asked: "Why is it always written by King Xuan?"

Xu Zhi shook her head: "How do you know? Maybe His Highness dotes on her too much. You know, your sister doesn't want to be tired at all."

Xu Zhi couldn't help but smile: "I don't care so much. She has good intentions. Letting King Xuan write for me makes me know that they are a loving couple, which makes me feel more at ease..."

Husband and wife love each other.

He Songning felt a pain in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She had dinner with Xu Zhi and then left.

He Songning did not give up just yet.

The next day he went to see Emperor Liang De.

He said: "I wrote many letters to Qingyin, but she never replied to me..."

The gesture between the words was quite sparse.

Emperor Liang De was a little curious: "Why doesn't she want to see you like this?"

He offended Xue Qingyin, but he was not so angry...

He Songning's tone was low and hoarse: "Maybe it's because of Xue Qinghe..."

Emperor Liang De then said slowly and honestly: "Qingyin always writes to me."

He Songning couldn't hide the look of envy in his eyes: "Can I see it?"

Emperor Liang De's eyes moved slightly, but he quickly covered up the darkness in his eyes.

He smiled and said, "I'll just let you take a look. It's all about common things, so it doesn't matter."

Wu Shaojian went to get the box in which the letter was placed.

He Songning only glanced at the box and knew that Xue Qingyin indeed had some weight with Emperor Liang De.

Then Liang Dedi opened the box with his own hands, took out the letter paper, opened it slowly, and said, "Did Xue Chengdong hire a female gentleman for her in the past?"

He Songning didn't understand this sentence.

But then he lowered his eyes and took a closer look, and then he understood why Emperor Liang De said this.

She is so smart...

But the words she wrote... were really ugly, and there were even missing strokes!

It's completely different from the words in the sandbox.

In an instant.

He Songning's eyes were astonishingly bright.

OK.

OK!

He stared at the letter tightly.

And Emperor Liang De looked at his expression.

Xue Qingyin, who was far away, rubbed the tip of her nose and sneezed loudly.
