Qi Yuan listened to Yin Qingqi's speech quietly, and when he saw Yin Qingqi's last smile, his last glimmer of hope seemed to be dashed.

It turned out that it was only once.

The expression on Qi Yuan's face froze little by little, but this didn't seem terrible to Yin Qingqi.

Yin Qingqi continued: "Qi Yuan, I beg you..."

"Please let me go."

This sentence was the last one that broke him.

Qi Yuan was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Yin Qingqi put down the short sword in his hand and returned to its original position.

Where you started, you go back.

Yin Qingqi left and returned to Qingmu Palace.

Qi Yuan always stood in the same place, not knowing how to react again.

Yin Qingqi has been gone for so many days, and he has been with Qi Yuan for so many days, Xue Tan has made a lot of new discoveries in the General's Mansion.

He remembered too clearly that when Yin Qingqi left that day, the old man in the family admitted that he rejected Yin Qingqi because of the jade pendant.

Xue Tan naturally remembered very well that the jade pendant was not Yin Qingqi's, and he also joked about that jade pendant, maybe Xue Wen'er was his half-sister.

But he didn't expect that it was this jade pendant that harmed Yin Qingqi.

led to the separation of him and Yin Qingqi.

So the moment Xue Tan saw Yin Qingqi and Qi Yuan leaving, his heart was simply suffering from colic.

In the final analysis, it was he who hurt Yin Qingqi.

If he hadn't been drunk, he wouldn't have met her.

If he hadn't redeemed her, he wouldn't have to suffer the pain of parting.

If he had explained the origin of that jade pendant to his grandfather earlier, Yin Qingqi would not have had to go with Qi Yuan.

If...

There are so many ifs that can be taken as assumptions, but none of them can be taken as facts.

What happened is what happened, and no matter how it is, it's nothing.

No matter how much you regret it, it's useless.

But Xue Tan still regretted it and was still unwilling.

Maybe if he persists a little longer, he will be able to warm her heart, he will be able to move her, and he will be able to keep her by his side.

But Xue Tan forgot that after all, it was just moving, not liking, let alone love.

After that day, Xue Tan had not entered the oil and salt for a long time.

The old general was distressed, but he didn't know what to do.

Why is this grandson just not enlightened!

The old general called Xue Tan to his house, and on this day, he decided to confess everything to Xue Tan.

Confess why you are so wary of this jade pendant.

Confess Xue Qi's past.

The old general thought that maybe he was too old to understand the love and hate of these young people.

Xue Qi entered the old general's house in a trance, exuding an aura of decadence all over his body.

His hair was messy, his beard hadn't been repaired for days, and he looked messy.

It's probably similar to my own embarrassment when I first met Yin Qingqi.

It's all similar, but you're not.

When Xue Tan entered this room, he was actually a little stunned in his heart. He's not insensitive now, it's just that there are very few things that interest him.

Yin Qingqi was misunderstood and beaten in this room. Probably for Yin Qingqi, this place is dark.

"Tan'er, look up and look at grandpa."

The old general only said one sentence, but it really worked.

The old general had been trying to talk to Xue Tan a few days ago, but Xue Tan didn't seem to be in high spirits.

Last night, the old general thought about it all night, and finally decided to do so.

Let go of your identity as a general, let go of what royal power and rich people, and let go of the past.

And letting go of prejudice.

When Xue Tan was very young, his mother was still alive at the time, and although his father rarely came home, he would come back once or twice a year, and would bring him some strange things that he had not seen.

Probably all of them belong to the frontier region.

Xue Tan also often feels rare and hugs him all day long.

Love.

In short, at that time, no matter what you say, he was happy.

His happiness can no longer be described in words, Xue Tan at that time spent every day smiling.

As if the sorrows of the world had nothing to do with him.

His father, the most powerful and domineering man in the world, was his role model and taught him to be a man who stood up to the sky.

His mother, the most gentle and virtuous woman in the world, always gave him the fullest love with her thoughtful words and actions.

His grandfather, at that time, Xue Tan was calling the old general's grandfather.

Xue Tan went to play in the market outside, and when he heard that those children called their father's father their grandfather, he also thought it was very interesting, so he learned it.

As a result, when the family heard his awkward name, they couldn't stop laughing.

At that time, he was a very innocent child, and was affectionately called Tan'er by his family.

Altar.

Xue Tan thought about this title for a long time after that, but no one was shouting.

Xue Tan raised his head and looked at the old man sitting in front of him, and he found that the person he had always respected was also much older.

I guess I'm doing it for myself.

Xue Tan's heart softened suddenly, he had completely devoted himself to his sadness in the past few days, but he ignored the old man beside him.

Xue Tan's eyes turned red, but he didn't speak.

He himself didn't know what to say.

"Don't blame me. I'm really scared, I'm afraid you'll follow your father's back. The old general patted Xue Tan's solid back, choked up and said a word.

Xue Tan raised his head and looked at him, and the doubts in his eyes were clear.

"What back road? What do you mean? There was even a hint of coldness in Xue Tan's tone.

"Your father, before he married your mother, he once loved a woman......"

The old general babbled on.

He had never said these things to anyone, and occasionally he would remember them in the dead of night, which would only make him regret it greatly.

I knew that I would have let go of Xue Qi's kid.

At least it won't make him so old, and he stays in this huge general's mansion with his only grandson all day long.

It was so empty that it made him feel a kind of desolation.

Regarding Xue Qi's death, the wound in Xue Qi's heart will always be a hidden pain in his heart.

Xue Qi also knew that he made that out of it, and finally accepted it calmly.

But he actually didn't dare to ask Xue Qi, do you hate your father?

The old general is scared.

He was afraid that Xue Qi would hate him, and in that case, he would only be able to live in pain for the rest of his life.

He was also afraid that Xue Tan would hate him, and he couldn't forgive himself in this way.

After a while, the old general raised his tearful face, looked at Xue Tan and asked, "Tan'er, do you hate grandpa?"

He finished everything, but in the end he asked the question that he had never dared to ask.
