The wicked female cannon fodder has arrived home

Chapter 145: Seen Through by Xie Xiao

After looking around outside the hall and seeing no one, Xie Zheng turned around with thick eyebrows and fierce eyes to question Xie Yu.

"People?"

"Why are you the only one here?"

"Where did you take my daughter?"

Seeing how his father couldn't wait to see his daughter, Xie Yu couldn't bear to discourage him. He didn't dare to say that his sister didn't want to come back, so he chose his words carefully.

"Dad, don't get excited. It's freezing cold. Don't you want your sister to suffer with me?"

"I'm already weak, what if I get frozen on the road?"

"Wait till spring comes. When spring comes, I will go and get her."

Xie Zheng's excited mood as an old father suddenly cooled down.

"What? Not back?"

His beloved daughter, he is just waiting for her to come home!

"You're right. It's freezing cold over in Daxiling. We can't let the child get cold. It doesn't matter if we don't bring him back."

"I'm thick, I'll go see her myself!"

"No, Dad, please be quiet for a while. You might scare her by rushing over here. She's not mentally prepared for this."

There was a flash of ink in Xie Xiao's eyes, and he felt that his sixth brother was hiding something from him.

It's definitely not that simple.

However, in front of his old father, he did not expose the truth and helped to lie.

"Dad, you are of a different status, so it's not appropriate for you to go there."

"After the New Year, we will bring my sister back. Then my sixth brother and I will go there in person and we will definitely be able to bring her back."

The general's wife, Lin Xiang'er, waved her handkerchief, raised her eyebrows slightly, and spoke softly.

"It's the New Year, the time for family reunion. Your father has been waiting since he got the news, but in the end, it was all in vain. This child is so delicate. He grew up in the Great Creek Range and can't stand the cold at all."

"Forget it, General, don't be sad, I will come back eventually."

Lin Xiang'er's eyes moved and fell on her daughter.

"Zhao'er, didn't you say you learned from the Seventh Princess today and made a portion of Jujube Flower Pastry? Why don't you bring it to your father to try."

Xie Zhao rolled his eyes and put his arm around Xie Zheng coquettishly.

"Dad, if my sister doesn't come back, you still have Zhao'er to stay with you."

Xie Zhao urged his personal maid Xing'er to bring it.

"Xing'er, why don't you go to my yard and bring me the jujube flower cakes?"

This stepmother is always good at putting on a sly look and always speaks in a sarcastic way.

My sister hasn't come back yet, and he's already acting so weird.

What kind of bitter cold place is Daxiling?

Even a man with a strong body that can withstand cold weather will freeze to death if he spends a day outside in the cold.

What’s more, she is a delicate girl, how could she be thrown into the cold winter for several days?

A hint of displeasure flashed across Xie Yu's eyes, and he took his eyes off Lin Xiang'er and smiled.

"Dad, speaking of jujube flower crisps, it just so happens that my sister asked me to bring some back. She also made them herself. Although she wasn't there in person, her thoughts were there."

"This time, I brought you a lot of fresh food and a bottle of good wine."

In order to save face for his sister, Xie Yu reluctantly decided to contribute a bottle of champagne.

Originally, he planned to bring back the food and drinks for his own enjoyment, after all, it was still a long way from spring.

If you want to eat it again, you can only wait until the weather in Daxiling warms up next year.

Xie Zheng was flattered.

"This...you're still thinking about me? My dear little girl, you're really my sweet little girl."

Xie Zhao's jujube flower pastry suddenly became unappealing, and Xie Zheng urged Xie Yu impatiently.

"Where is it? Where is the thing my eldest daughter brought me? Come on, take it out and show it to me."

"Is that all you brought? Did you get any messages or letters to pass on?"

Lin Xiang'er covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed softly to make trouble.

"General, you are such a joker. That child grew up in a poor peasant family. I'm afraid he can't even read a single word. How can he write a letter?"

Xie Yu is talking nonsense against his will!

"Yes, of course. She told you to take good care of yourself and she will come to see you next year."

"I'll ask Qingyun to move the things to your yard."

Xie Yu coaxed Xie Zheng with lies and contributed a bottle of champagne with great pain.

He also gave me two pounds of candied orange peel, two pounds of orange-flavored milk candy, a jar of spicy cabbage, a jar of preserved eggs, ten sausages, and ten pounds of smoked bacon.

All the leftover pastries that were not unpacked were also donated.

Let Li Qingyun bring the guards in the courtyard to move there.

Xie Yu's heart bleeds as he contributed these things.

Especially the candies and candied orange peels, which are unique and cannot be bought even if you have money in the imperial city.

And that spicy cabbage.

The taste is quite different from the kimchi eaten in the imperial city.

The kimchi in the imperial city is far inferior to this.

It turns out that the most delicious kimchi is made by his sister.

Just as he was sighing at the best taste of the world, he saw his elder brother walk into the room with a cold wind. His face was as bright as night snow and as white as jade, and he stared at him without blinking.

Xie Yu felt a little guilty when Xie Xiao looked at him.

"Brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xie Xiao's eyes were dark.

"Tell me, don't hide it from me, why didn't you bring your sister back?"

"When you found your sister, the weather wasn't so cold that you couldn't bring her back, right? Why didn't you bring her back then?"

"What happened to her?"

Xie Yu's face paused. He knew that such a clumsy excuse could not be hidden from his elder brother, so he simply made it clear.

"Nothing happened."

"I thought that as long as I found my sister, our family would be complete. I never thought that my sister didn't want to recognize her ancestors and didn't want to go home."

"At first, she didn't even accept me. It was only after we got to know each other for a long time that she gradually became familiar with me."

"But this familiarity is not yet to the point where it wants to come back with me."

"Although I said I would bring her back next spring, whether or not we can actually bring her back is another matter."

Xie Xiao frowned slightly, and his eyes became complicated for a moment.

"So, my sister is not an easy person to get along with?"

Xie Yu: "That's not what I meant. Although she doesn't want to recognize us, she is warm and generous, willing to help others, and gets along very well with the villagers in the village."

“Both the elderly and children like her very much.”

"It's just that this sudden appearance of a family must be something she can't accept for a while."

"Take your time. I plan to go there again next year."

Xie Yu sighed, it was true that his sister was difficult to deal with.

How can this impress her and make her willing to go home?

Xie Xiao remembered that his sixth brother had stated in the letter that the Jin family had not treated her well, and that she had been living like an animal for more than ten years.

"Since her adoptive parents treat her badly, why don't they want to recognize her? Isn't the General's Mansion a good place for her to stay?"

"After the New Year, I will go to Daxiling with you."
