"It's so late, you want to see me for something?" he asked next.

Xia Qianqian glanced at Li Yunniang beside him and couldn't bear it, "Let's... chat some other time."

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it!" Xia Chi took a peeled grape handed over by Li Yunniang and put it into his mouth.

The sweet taste made him nod repeatedly, "Come on, kid, the grapes are sweet, you can come and eat some too."

Grapes are sweet, but they will taste bitter later.

Xia Qianqian raised the corner of her mouth and shook her head, "I can't sleep and just take a walk. You can continue admiring the moon while I go to the study to write a reply."

She turned around and left as if running away, lest they make any noise to try to stay.

Li Yunniang looked at her hurried back and murmured: "Today, the girl received a letter from the capital. Seeing how uneasy she is now, could it be that something happened to His Highness the King?"

My man disappeared for three years, and the days of waiting were torturous and anxious.

She felt the same way, but was annoyed at the same time, "The child saw our cute and crooked look just now, and it made her feel sad. She must have felt uncomfortable."

"How could it be!"

Xia Chi held her hand in his palm and comforted her: "His Royal Highness the King Xian is well-planned and everything is under his control. Qianqian is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves. How can he be irritable and restless when things happen."

"If you weren't His Highness the Xianwang, what would happen?"

Li Yunniang began to think wildly, "Could it be Hu Tang?"

She stamped her feet anxiously: "I heard that after Hu Tang ran away from home, Mr. Hu fell ill and collapsed in anger. There are rumors in the outside world that Mr. Hu's departure was related to Qianqian."

Everyone in Jiangcheng knows that the second son of the Hu family likes County Master Xia.

Once upon a time, Xia Qianqian was a foolish girl from Fu'an Village, but she was not worthy of it.

Now, she is the Queen of Qianqian County granted by the emperor, and a great benefactor to the people of Jiangcheng.

She is the favorite of His Highness the Xian King.

How can a child from a small family in Jiangcheng compare with His Highness the Xian King, who has a far-reaching reputation?

What's more, His Royal Highness the Xianwang and the County Lord Qianqian are in love.

His shaver was so hot that he naturally fell behind again.

An arrogant young man from an aristocratic family was hurt emotionally and wanted to escape somewhere else to heal his wounds.

This explanation of things is quite reasonable.

Could it be that Qianqian is worried about this matter.

"I'll go and persuade her!" Li Yunniang thought about it and then caught up.

Xia Chi held her hand tightly and patted the back of her hand with his other hand, "This time I came back, she was very estranged from me. When I find a chance, we, father and daughter, can have a good chat about something.

."

The next day, Xia Qianqian went to take Xia Chi's pulse as usual and adjust the prescription.

When she was done, she got up, packed her medicine box and left.

Xia Chi called her and said, "Qianqian, you used to like to gather around my father and ask questions. Why are you hiding from me now?"

Xia Qianqian turned around and looked at him.

She is not the Xia Qianqian she once was, and she does not have much attachment to the father in front of her.

She looked at him, which made him a little cautious, "I've heard a lot about you from your mother these days."

"It's my father's negligence. I never really understood you."

Of course he couldn't figure it out.

She is not her.

Xia Qianqian looked as usual and said seriously: "I also learned a lot about you from Xia Hou."

He was stunned, "Ping'an Hou Xia Cheng'an?"

"Yes!"

"It's just a false name."

"It's not just a false reputation!" Xia Qianqian approached him slowly.

A ray of morning light shines on the side of her face, and a strand of black hair falls down, outlining the delicate facial lines.

On her beautiful face, there was an awe-inspiring coldness hidden in her expression, "Eighteen years ago, his youngest daughter was kidnapped by rebels and fell into the Fu'an River."

She paused and observed him deliberately.

As expected, Xia Chi's expression changed.

Xia Qianqian narrowed her eyes and continued: "Someone saved her and kept her by his side."

"For that child, when she was still in her infancy, she was seriously injured, fell into the torrent, and when her survival was slim, she was rescued and survived today. For her, that person was like a reborn parent, and they repaid each other with springs in this life.

That’s the fundamental thing. But...”

Xia Qianqian remembered the sadness in Xi Yalan's eyes when she first apprenticed with her.

Thinking of Zhuxian Academy, the lonely grave under the peach blossom tree.

Reminds me of the ever-lasting prayer lanterns in Qingshan Temple.

Reminds me of Cao Ran’s original intention of paranoidly guarding Jiangcheng.

She raised her eyes, a pair of black stone eyes, staring at him for a moment, and said loudly, "She has a family."

"When you decided to keep her, did you ever think about how her whole family would look forward to seeing her?"

"Have you ever thought about how much it hurts a mother to lose her daughter?"

"You kept her and deprived her of a prosperous life, so why did you let her bear the reputation of a fool and live in confusion for many years?"

"You..." She hesitated for a moment and pressed, "Do you have a grudge against Xia Chengan?"

The secret that had been hidden for many years was revealed in this way.

Xia Chi's face was burning with pain.

In my impression, she is kind-hearted, innocent and cute, and has a soft-tempered temperament like a rabbit.

But at this moment, the fierce luster in her eyes turned into a sharp blade, cutting his skin like a flying sword.

He was sitting on pins and needles and felt ashamed.

"You...know everything?" The voice was very low, as if it was squeezed out of the throat.

"You still want to hide it?" She was completely angry, "Are you going to hide this matter for the rest of your life?"

If you can hide it for a lifetime, then why not!

Xia Chi buried his head in silence.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the depressing atmosphere turned into a dizzying whirlwind, spinning and wandering around the body, making people breathless.

His attitude completely angered Xia Qianqian.

In the chest, an unknown fire spewed out like a volcano erupting, "Is escape the way to solve the problem? Mr. Kongling is so smart that he still doesn't understand this truth?"

In fact, Xia Qianqian is not the original owner. No matter what her identity is, she doesn't care.

She traveled through time and opened her eyes, Li Yunniang was her mother.

What a good person that is, she really doesn’t want to hurt her.

But the truth is fire, which cannot be contained after all.

She is about to leave for the capital and face the Xia family in the capital.

How could she hide her identity even if she wanted to?

When her identity is exposed, how should Li Yunniang deal with herself?

"That child died!"

When Xia Chi looked up again, the tears in her eyes couldn't hold back, "That night, her fever refused to go away. I... I tried my best, but I couldn't save her!"

At that time, he was holding the child's body and wandering along the Fu'an River in a state of confusion.

The way home is so close yet so far.

Every time he took a step, the soles of his feet seemed to be stepping on a chopping block. Not only his feet hurt, but his whole body and heart ached.

His first child...

His daughter, such a vivid life, was just gone.

At home, on the bed, there is a dying person.

If she learns the news, she may follow suit.

He is an orphan and has no parents.

The master who raised him is gone.

His only bloodline is gone.

The next moment, the wife who took pity on him and gave him the courage to live may also be gone.

What does it feel like when the sky falls?

The ground is sinking, how desperate is it?
