After this day, Zhu Qingning really fulfilled his promise and often took his daughter to visit Gu Zhen in the mansion.

Gu Zhen was naturally overjoyed.

Nie Xun's attitude was the same, no matter how Gu Zhen tried to please Goodwill, he had no intention of softening, which made Zhu Qingning extremely puzzled.

"Chengyun, what's wrong?" Zhu Qingning sighed, "Today, she told me about the past, and she really had a hard time. ”

Nie Xun was reading a book in the courtyard, his expression was so calm that there was no trace of waves, Zhu Qingning approached with a smile and shrunk into a ball in his arms.

Disturbed by his wife's childish behavior, Nie Xun could only helplessly hold her and the baby in his arms tightly with one hand.

Zhu Qingning slowly said what he heard in a gentle voice, and sighed at the end.

"Chengyun, there are parents all over the world, and she really has a hard time, so don't you soften even a little bit?"

After all, he is a pillow person, and Zhu Qingning knows Nie Xun best.

There was one thing she didn't understand, obviously he still had a friendly tendency towards Gu Zhen on the first day, and it was cold after a few days.

"Wu Niang, people's hearts in this world are not as simple as you think. You have such a pure and deceitful temperament, how can you rest assured for your husband?" Nie Xun wrapped his hand around her, his chin rested on her shoulder, and his voice was a little tired, "According to your relay, she did have hardships back then, but being honest doesn't mean that she didn't hide it." It's okay for you to take the child to see her in the future, but don't tie me up with her again. ”

Because of his young experience, Nie Xun's temperament is different from ordinary people.

His adoptive father and adoptive mother had no children in his life, and he treated him as if he were his own, and he was also grateful, but this did not mean that he had forgotten the memories of his childhood.

That memory, I'm afraid that he won't fade when he's old.

When he was dug out of the soil, he was sold from Dongqing to Zhongzhao several times.

Someone bought him to ask for a child, and the hostess was hot-tempered and fierce, scolding and kicking him at every turn, because she felt humiliated when she saw him, and his presence always reminded the other party that she could not have children. The cold winter Layue was buried in the water by the woman's head, and the harder he struggled, the harder she worked. At the age of three or four, he simply held his breath and pretended to be dead, and the other party threw him into the water, scolded and left.

Of course, this can't be the end, not long after he became a beggar, he was favored by a trafficker who specializes in abducting and selling beggars, and sold it to the next family.

He has met everyone, some people have taken a fancy to his face and bought him into a men's place, if it were not for the fact that the place was burned down by a fire, Nie Xun would not have been able to escape; some people have a pure penchant for humiliating young children in search of physical pleasure, he has broken his hands and feet, and the little finger of his right hand is still not flexible. He bears the scars of his childhood, some of which he has recovered early, and some of which are still stubbornly retained.

Nie Xun is a hard-nosed person, he refuses to die, so naturally he can't die.

He was born with parents, and he also has them, where are his parents?

Did they have to sell him because of their family's poverty, or did they suffer a big change and let him be abducted by someone's teeth?

He wanted to figure it out.

This obsession sustained him to survive.

Probably, Nie Xun never thought at that time that his parents were from such noble backgrounds and were unattainable.

If I had known earlier, maybe I wouldn't have been so bitter, and I would have been better off with a headlong crash and begging for a better life.

"Why?" Zhu Qingning turned his head and kissed him on the cheek, interrupting his memories, and now he was still coquettish like a girl who didn't know anything about the world, "Chengyun, you have to tell me the reason." If you always refuse to explain, others will misunderstand that you are an unfilial son. ”

Nie Xun smiled bitterly, he just didn't want his wife to know this, so he didn't say it.

"You can see the situation on your sister-in-law's side. ”

Zhu Qingning was puzzled, "What does this have to do with sister-in-law?"

She really doesn't understand, this is obviously a knot between Nie Xun and Gu Zhen, how can she get involved with her sister-in-law?

Nie Xun lowered his eyes, Zhu Qingning put the child in the bassinet on the side, held his right hand with both hands, and kissed his little thumb.

"You're always like this—"

Nie Xun felt that his hair was going bald, and he was the most unruly with his wife.

"If you don't want that, then you can explain. Explanation, you also know that you don't make it clear, and sometimes I don't understand. ”

Nie Xun was helpless, so he could only mention a few words in her ear.

The smile on Zhu Qingning's face stiffened suddenly.

"It's-"

Nie Xun said, "Wu Niang, if you can...... I really want to take you back to see your parents and tell them that Xun'er has a family. ”

Zhu Qingning came back to his senses for a long time and said, "What have I done these days...... Doesn't that make it difficult for you?"

Nie Xun whispered, "As long as it's you, don't be embarrassed." ”

Approaching the end of the year, Jiang Pengji asked some people to return to Maruzhou first, and Meng Heng was also one of them.

When he arrived, he couldn't wait to see his wife and children, and the smile on his face was more like that of a child.

His wife wiped his sweat and said angrily, "You have been in the dust all the way, and you are not afraid of dirty children? ”

Meng Heng could only obey the order, take a comfortable bath, and change into brand new clothes.

He asked about the situation at home, and his wife came with him.

"Is there any care for Chengyun over there?" Meng Heng asked.

Although the two brothers did not recognize their relatives, Meng Heng also felt guilty about Nie Xun, after all, he had calculated a lot, and now he should make up for it.

His wife stopped talking, and Meng Heng asked her, "What's the matter?"

"Not really, it's just-"

"It's just? just what?"

Meng Heng was eating pastries to cushion his stomach while looking at his wife with concern.

The wife circled the veil tangledly, "A while ago, my mother-in-law went to the house to see the second brother and younger siblings, and she was not very happy. ”

Meng Heng was not surprised.

This is in line with Cheng Yun's temperament. ”

If he recognized his relatives and family as soon as he came up, Meng Heng felt that Nie Xun had been taken away.

And the wife told the story of that day again.

She and Zhu Qingning are both close friends and concubines, and some topics are not taboo.

The two opinions of the concubine are unanimous, they are both mothers, and they always feel that Nie Xun is too indifferent.

Meng Heng heard this and sighed, "After so many years, she is still old-tempered. ”

The wife sighed, "The little uncle was indeed very bitter in his early years, but how can parents who are all in the world be so hard-hearted?"

Meng Heng said, "Mother continues like this, Chengyun's heart will only be harder and colder." ”

The wife was confused.

"Mother-in-law treats him so well-"

"It's good and it depends on the situation. Mother has been in Maruzhou for a while, not to mention sending people to the house, has she asked you and the child?"

The wife was stunned and said, "This, this is not true." ”

Not only did she not, she once took the child to the house to ask for peace, and the maid said that the other party had fallen asleep.

Later, I went to the house with my younger sister Zhu Qingning, and I saw my mother-in-law for the first time, and the other party was so beautiful, I couldn't tell how old I was.

Meng Heng sighed, "I told my mother that Chengyun is still alive, how long has it been." ”

His wife still didn't understand, and Meng Heng didn't have the heart to explain, after all, it was not decent to say that his mother was bad in front of his wife.

Is Vera a good mother?

For Liu Xi, she is probably the best mother in the world, this good is not only good in words, but also in action.

For their brothers, it will always stay in the mouth, and her good will only be said to others.

Before Meng Heng wrote to Gu Zhen, she didn't know that her youngest son was still alive, and she only had one son on Meng Heng's face.

But what is her attitude towards her eldest son?

He lived a life in the Meng Mansion, and was always on guard against his father's concubine framed.

In order to save himself, he was willing to become a proton and live in Beijing for a long time, and the expenses given by the Meng Mansion were basically nothing, and he still pawned a few objects when he was one year old to barely make ends meet. He studied in private, and he was not low, and while studying, he sold calligraphy and paintings privately to earn pocket money.

Once, he wrote a letter to his mother full of hope, hoping that the other party would take pity on him and take care of him.

Gu Zhen took care of it, and asked people to bring him a hundred taels of silver, except for the silver coins, there was not a word.

At that time, Meng Heng already had a sense of shame, holding the silver money given by his mother, and his face was hot.

The scholar said, "Madame, didn't you think that Lang Jun was begging for her?"

Eleven or twelve-year-old Meng Heng felt that his self-esteem and face had been shattered by his mother.

The money was begged.

He "begged" for his biological mother's care, and as a result, he begged for money.

Meng Heng got married at twenty-three, but the elders of the Meng clan couldn't stand it, and they generally gave him a daughter from the side branch of the down-and-out clan.

Did my mother say a word about this?

Before Meng Zhan died, it could be inferred that the Meng family was powerful, and she didn't dare to ask for the sake of her son.

Now that Meng Zhan's body has cooled down for a few rounds, she still takes a blind attitude towards her eldest son, and she is also indifferent to her eldest daughter-in-law and eldest grandson.

is such a mother, but she "poured out her heart and lungs" to her second son, who she had not met for more than 20 years, and showed her motherly feelings.

Nie Xun is not stupid, the more Gu Zhen wants to "make up" for his second son, and treats the eldest son as air, he will only be more cold-hearted.

The eldest son has a mother-son relationship with her, and it is still so cold.

So the second son, who has not seen her for more than 20 years, has a few pounds and taels, what qualifications do you have to get her favor?

Does she really want to save her child and make up for the lack of maternal love, or is she just to get a word of "forgiveness" and calm the guilt in her heart?

At this point, Meng Heng felt that Nie Xun could see it very clearly.

The wife didn't know what Meng Heng was thinking, so she sighed.

"My mother-in-law's early years were not easy, I heard that I used to be sick in bed, so my uncle couldn't be considerate and considerate?"

The daughter of the Gu family is not easy to get to this point.

"She refuses to take medicine to cure her illness, can others force her to fail?" Meng Heng said, "It's not easy?" ”

The wife looked dissatisfied.

How did her husband say that?

"Although my mother was a concubine of the Gu family in her early years, she was treated like her aunt. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to marry into the Meng clan back then. I went to ask some old people, my aunt is really good to my mother, and the people who accompany her to marry are all her confidants, and each of them has the ......ability," Meng Heng said, "After that, I will marry Liu She, and the whole Liu Mansion will respect her." Now, the lord has earned her the position of a quasi-queen mother. Those of us who are sons are really for her good, it is best to maintain the way we are now. ”

As a son of man, he didn't dare to complain, and he couldn't get close either.
