At two o'clock that night, the cold wind was howling in Datong Mansion, but the Xin family just returned from the Zhenrong County Prince's Mansion, all in one piece. Not only did Xia Hoju not wait to apologize, but he was carried out of bed by his adoptive father, who had a sinking look on his face.
The foster brother next to him who had always been jealous of him did not dare to gloat at all at this moment. The foster mother wanted to persuade him but did not dare. Instead, he took the initiative and said: "Father... foster father, what's wrong with you?" He almost sent Li Gang away back then.
Mrs. Hong, the adoptive mother, quickly said: "Guanren, Ju'er is still young..."
Qu Duandao said: "He is not young anymore. I have always told myself that he is young. In fact, the boys from the Xin family who came today are not young anymore. People know that it is not right for him to scare the children in the girls' school. Reason with him, Xiahou
Ju, yes and no."
A general who has fought a hundred battles is not angry but he is powerful. How dare Xia Houju dare to make a joke? He stood up straight and said: "Yes!"
Qu Duan continued calmly: "Okay, you are already eleven years old this year, and ordinary people have even begun to learn the Dingli method, but I doted on your father too much. This is my fault, but your father is a soldier.
The adoptive father is also a soldier, so why do you laugh at Commander Xin? Even if he is at fault, he is still the hero of the Lishan Incident. Without him, something might happen to the official family. How could there be peace in the country today? How could you have a comfortable life in the yamen? Just because of this
, I have to say that if someone’s son beats you, you have to bear it.”
Xia Houju was shocked, Mrs. Hong was shocked, and even Qu Liang, who was already on duty in the Qi army, was shocked, not to mention all the veterans and servants.
Prince (official, father), what stimulated you? You actually started to look for problems within yourself?
This stimulation is great, one after another, and today the quantity has changed into a qualitative change.
Xia Houju was still stunned when he went to see him, and he couldn't help but taunted him, "I have raised you for many years, not just to see you become a stupid goose. Either you go and lie down outside, and I will whip you as punishment."
Or go and apologize to Xin Wenyu tomorrow."
When I saw Qu Duanlai, I was really frightened. This talented and capable Prince of Zhenrong County was not just a show-off. He could make a lot of nonsense about many things, but if he wanted to really reason with you, you couldn't do it either.
, without the skill of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, it would be impossible for you to do it.
The reason why I don’t talk about Wu Jie is because King Hui’an of Han passed away last year and lived 10 years longer than in history. He can also be regarded as witnessing the glory of the Wu family in Yan’an.
After him, Wu Lin did not choose to fight for power, but pushed Wu Gong to take the lead. This may be the way for their family to continue to survive. However, fifty or sixty years later, it will be ruined by a bastard named Wu Xi.
, they don’t know about this now.
Back in front of him, Xin Wenyu continued on duty with a gloomy mood. He actually accepted Xia Houju's apology, and it wasn't like a moral kidnapping, but a real apology. He spent the whole day in shock, and looked back with admiration from the people around him.
When he got home, he said, "Madam, if you feel uncomfortable, you can go back to Jinan Mansion."
Qu Duan was abnormally frightened to him, and he subconsciously wanted to protect his wife, but he knew that he was unable to compete with Prince Zhenrong, so he could only think of this way to escape.
Sun Su was weaving, and before he could say anything, Xin Qiji grabbed the scene and said, "Dad, he has already apologized to you, why is grandma leaving? Is it because Liu Xiliang is my biological grandfather?"
Sun Su knocked the front of the car with his ring. He said seriously: "Yu Gong, I want to call the martyr by his honorary title. Yu Si, since you know that he is your biological grandfather, how can you call him by his name and go back and kneel?"
Although Xin Wenyu got angry and shouted at him all day long, Xin Qiji had long known that his own mother was the absolute authority at home. Hearing this, he also knew that he was wrong, so he knelt down obediently.
Sun Su then gave her husband a meal and said: "I'm not going back. I'm married and have children. The life I should have should not be broken by some people. If King Qu is reasonable, let's live a good life. If you are unreasonable, I will go and knock on Denwen."
Gu. Now that it’s like this, I don’t have any burden.”
After she expressed so much resentment, Qu Duan fell silent. He wanted to apologize, but didn't know how to speak. But Sun Su didn't come here to ask for his apology, because even if Qu Duan apologized, he would not forgive her.
Can the hatred of killing her father be wiped out with a few words? She was just forced to negotiate with her enemy because of the future of her husband and son.
But that was only a temporary emergency, and she would not exchange benefits with Qu Duan because of this. That would be a disservice to the father who gave her life.
Therefore, Xin Wenyu did not try to persuade him. They were the people who understood each other best in the world. As Xin Wenyu also knew, the reason why Sun Su did not change his surname was not only unnecessary trouble, but also because he deeply felt the kindness of his stepfather in raising him.
Qu Duan may also know because this daughter of an old friend behaved too calmly. Later, he also did many things, including sending Xin Qiji to Tokyo to study martial arts. He asked someone to find connections and took care of Sun Su's half-father and half-father in Jinan Mansion.
The younger brother, who didn’t even know how to operate it, also made a decree for his grandmother.
But Sun Su always lived his life quietly without saying thanks or gratitude, nor did he stop him. He could not forgive Qu Duan on behalf of his father, nor could he refuse to comfort these relatives on behalf of his father.
As for Xia Houju, perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. Instead of being pampered by his adoptive father, he grew up to be a qualified benevolent official. He was not rich and powerful, but at least he lived his life safely and normally.
Qu Duan died of illness in the thirty-fourth year of Jianyan, in Yanjing. At that time, Xin Wenyu had been transferred to the imperial camp. It is said that when the emperor personally visited the king of Zhenrong County, he said that he had done too many wrong things in his early years and was destined to fail.
Like Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, he also asked the officials not to give too many favors to his family.
He never mentioned Sun Su again for the rest of his life, but when Xin Wenyu said goodbye to Qu Duan for the last time, he once heard him say, "It seems that this girl was born on Jinsu Mountain at that time."
Xin Wenyu didn't answer, but what Sun Su didn't expect was that her husband also left before her. That was when she was accompanying the Supreme Emperor in Bianjing. The sadness and despair filled the sky. She didn't know if it was just fate. Almost at the same time.
, Xin Qiji defeated Qingtang and was granted the title of Marquis for his military merits.
Zhao Jiu, who was destined to be interpreted in various interpretations in history books, summoned Sun Su at Gyeongbokgung Palace. This was their first official meeting after thirty years.
However, whether it was Sun Su's legendary life experience or as a hero, wife and mother, he had seen too many of Zhao Jiu. Instead, he was more curious about Xin Qiji and asked her many things about her childhood. But Sun Su could only say that this child had
Just worship the officials, oh, no, the Supreme Emperor.
After paying homage to the Supreme Emperor, she went to see Concubine Xie De as a courtesy. After returning home, she received some comfort and congratulations. She felt that this day was particularly boring. Her daughter also married a good family, and there was no need for her daughter-in-law to follow Xin Qiji in office.
. He passed away within a few years at the age of 67.
Later, when Xin Qiji asked someone to write an epitaph for his mother, he specifically wrote about this part of his past: "My wife, the former Xi Liang daughter of the Marquis Liu of the Western Army, is well versed in the righteousness of her family and country."
