The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 58 My father taught me to be a humble person

Xue Chengdong sat back and resumed his elegant and literati appearance.

When he heard the name of King Xuan, he did not immediately show panic or trembling expression, but asked calmly: "I only heard your elder brother say that King Wei was in love with you, how come I didn't know when you were related to King Xuan?

"There are too many things that father doesn't know." Xue Qingyin also sat down.

Xue Chengdong's face darkened: "Stand up!"

Xue Qingyin pouted: "Didn't I tell father just now? Legs hurt."

"Squeamish." Xue Chengdong said coldly.

"I am the daughter of a minister, don't I deserve to be squeamish? "Xue Qingyin asked him back.

"..."

Xue Chengdong found that she was getting better at quibbling, and it was really inappropriate to continue arguing with her in such a meaningless way.

Xue Chengdong just changed his tone coldly: "I don't care where you met His Royal Highness Xuan Wang, and what kind of friendship you have now, I can tell you with certainty that you can't marry him. The emperor alone will never agree, let alone the Queen Mother?"

"Why?" Xue Qingyin asked curiously.

Xue Chengdong was annoyed by her and laughed: "You came to me to learn from me?"

"If you don't understand, ask, be a humble person, you taught me." Xue Qingyin defended herself.

Xue Chengdong asked her in a cold tone: "Then I taught you to be an honest person in the past, to respect your parents, to protect your brothers and sisters, and to be a gentle and dignified woman, why don't you remember it?"

Xue Qingyin blinked: "When did you teach me these? Did you teach me in a dream?"

"Xue Qingyin! "Xue Chengdong shouted.

"Am I not in front of my father? Why does my father still call me?" Xue Qingyin pouted and said, "I am so obedient. It's not like the last time I was sick and lying in bed calling for my father, calling again and again, but my father didn't come back."

In fact, it is more likely that the original body called He Songning.

But no matter what, if she said she was calling Xue Chengdong, then it was Xue Chengdong. Who knows if she made it up?

Xue Chengdong choked and the words were blocked in his throat.

But he still maintained the dignity of his father and said, "Are you blaming your father?"

Xue Qingyin sighed and whispered, "How dare a daughter? If I really had such courage, I should have remarried with my mother early. "

"Xue Qingyin! "Xue Chengdong was once again angry and laughed.

Mrs. Xue outside the house could not see what was happening inside, but only heard one angry scolding after another. She had rarely seen Xue Chengdong lose his composure like this. Her heart was hanging high, fearing that Xue Qingyin would be beaten.

Seeing that Xue Qingyin was not afraid of him at all, Xue Chengdong in the house was angry. But soon, the anger was wiped out.

In the past, this daughter was really like a complete fool.

Xue Chengdong thought, is it really because she was poisoned in the womb that she grew such a stupid brain, Even her own mother was dragged down.

Xue Chengdong tried countless times to persuade Madam Xue not to spoil her anymore, but whenever she mentioned it, Madam Xue would immediately become emotional.

This look now can provoke his anger more than before.

But Xue Chengdong had to say that this did finally make her look a bit like his daughter.

Xue Chengdong lowered his eyes and thought for a moment without making a sound.

He did not use those low-level methods just now.

He just described the pros and cons to Xue Qingyin: "It is impossible to marry King Xuan, but King Wei can."

"King Wei has been granted marriage." Xue Qingyin reminded him.

"So what? King Wei likes you, but Concubine Wan does not like you. His Majesty will be happy to see you alienate the relationship between mother and son." Xue Chengdong said.

His tone was like a scholar's elegance, but the arrogance in his words was almost exactly the same as He Songning.

Xue Qingyin whispered: "Father knows a lot. "

King Xuan also said so.

It seems that smart people think similarly.

"But everything is based on the premise that you don't recognize Zhao Xufeng as your father."

Oh, in the final analysis, I still don't want her to recognize someone else as her father.

Xue Qingyin smacked her lips.

"Do you think Concubine Wan is favored?" Xue Chengdong suddenly asked.

Xue Qingyin, who has watched palace fighting dramas, thought that I can almost guess this! This does not require the participation of IQ!

Xue Qingyin said quickly: "The greater the favor, the more like a raging fire cooking oil."

Xue Chengdong couldn't help but look at her more, and then said: "Well, Concubine Wan's family is flourishing among civil officials. Duke Zhao has been in the army for many years and is also very popular among military officials. The emperor would never want to see the combination of civil and military officials. If you want to marry a high-ranking official, you must not have anything to do with the Duke Zhao's mansion. Do you understand? I am your father, and it is appropriate for me to come forward to refuse. Don't worry about this matter. ”

Xue Chengdong acted very generous: "For today's matter, I will just treat you as a momentary confusion. It's a good thing to fight for yourself, but you shouldn't point the spearhead at your own father. If there is a next time, it won't be so simple. "

He patted Xue Qingyin's head, like a kind father, but not quite like one.

He said: "I really treat you as a good child. Qingyin, be smarter."

Xue Qingyin couldn't help but look up at Xue Chengdong and asked him: "Father is always like this, and he has to calculate everything clearly?"

"Isn't it good to be a smart person?"

"It's good, but if you have to be smart in everything, it's easy to lose your humanity." Xue Qingyin said in a light tone.

Xue Chengdong's tone was slightly cold: "What does Qingyin mean?"

"It doesn't matter if I marry well or not, it's rare for someone to like me. I still want to go to Duke Zhao's mansion." Xue Qingyin was very afraid that she would truly integrate into this dynasty and one day become someone who calculated gains and losses at every turn.

Xue Chengdong's eyebrows darkened, and he looked at Xue Qingyin with disappointment: "You're still not smart enough."

"That's not smart. At least I will protect the people I want to protect at the critical moment, get close to the people who are worthy of being close, and love the people who are worthy of love, regardless of gains and losses." Xue Qingyin said firmly.

Xue Chengdong knew that she was alluding to the poisoning of the concubine in the house.

He failed to protect his wife.

Xue Chengdong's eyebrows raised ferociously, then lowered them quickly.

He asked: "Is this what your mother taught you?"

Xue Qingyin was wary. He wouldn't go to trouble Mrs. Xue, would he?

She quickly said: "It's because I saw my father's behavior, so I thought, I don't want to be a person who will make others sad."

Xue Chengdong didn't speak, opened the door and walked out.

He met Mrs. Xue's eyes glaring at him angrily.

Mrs. Xue was very beautiful when she was young, otherwise she would not have married Xue Chengdong as a merchant girl, otherwise she would not have given birth to such a stunning woman as Xue Qingyin.

Xue Chengdong met her eyes and fell into a trance unconsciously.

When she was young, her eyes were a bit round, and when she glared at people, she looked more like a coward.

But at some point, lines gradually formed in the corners of his eyes, lifting the ends of his eyes upwards. When he stares at people coldly, he looks sharp. There is no trace of the tenderness of girlhood anymore.

Xue Chengdong moved his lips and wanted to say something.

Mrs. Xue hurriedly passed him by, stepped into the door, and hugged Xue Qingyin: "Qingyin? Did your father beat you?"

Xue Qingyin shook her head.

Xue Chengdong finally returned to the household department without saying anything.

This time, Mrs. Xue hugged Xue Qingyin's shoulders and slowly walked out of the door.

Turning her eyes, Xue Qingyin could still see the mother-in-law beside her, with a clear slap mark on her face.

Apparently Mrs. Xue was really mad when she couldn't get in.

Did Xue Chengdong never think of this?

He can never see the pain hidden in Mrs. Xue's heart? Maybe he saw it, but he felt that the past had been dealt with and it was time to come to an end. Why did he still indulge in it and keep bringing it up?

Xue Qingyin bit her lower lip and looked at Mrs. Xue's disheveled hair and red and swollen eyes.

She thought that she would have to find a way to run away with her mother-in-law.

Otherwise, if she stays with Xue Chengdong's "father and son" for the rest of her life, one day she will be bitten away by such unspeakable cold violence and lose the remaining vitality in her body.

With what happened today, Mrs. Xue was probably determined to go against Xue Chengdong.

The next day, she combed Xue Qingyin's hair herself and accompanied her to Duke Zhao's mansion.

At this time, Manager Zhao was still a little worried: "I heard that Minister Xue was so angry that he rushed home yesterday."

He said, but he really couldn't figure it out, and said: "This is obviously a happy event, how come it falls on the Xue family, and this Shilang Xue refuses to live or die? He is more than just Miss Xue's daughter. Besides, we just recognize each other. It’s not like he’s a godmother and wants to be raised in our house.”

Zhao Guogong said: "I have met Xue Chengdong several times. You can see that he looks like a gentle scholar, but in fact he is not. This person is somewhat scheming. Most of these people also have a strong desire to control."

Manager Zhao couldn't help but said: "It's not easy for such a minister Xue to give birth to a sweet sister."

But then he frowned and said: "I just wonder if the Xue family girl will come today? To resist your father's intention is to risk the disapproval of the world."
