When those people heard this, they were overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
Xiao Chengyi ordered Qingying to arrange for them. By this time, everyone in front of the door had almost dispersed.
Sun Xingyang came over, knelt on the ground with one knee and said, "Please, Your Majesty, punish the sins of my subordinates."
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows and asked him: "What are you doing?"
Sun Xingyang said: "I helped the Sun family to help the tyrants, so I should be guilty of the same crime as the Sun family."
Xiao Chengyi helped him up: "If you and Sun Chengyu work together to become my enemy, I will definitely punish you. But if you know your way back and help me succeed, it can be said that the merits and demerits are equal to each other."
Sun Xingyang stood up and said: "Your Majesty is very different."
Xiao Chengyi smiled and asked him: "Actually, there is another reason why I don't punish you."
Sun Xingyang was a little curious.
Xiao Chengyi said: "Why didn't you deal with those who caused trouble, but just sent them to quarry?"
Sun Xingyang said solemnly: "They just want to be free, so they won't lose their lives for it."
Xiao Chengyi smiled and said: "It can be seen that you have not lost your conscience in your heart, but you were just deceived by the clever words of the Sun family father and daughter, and in order to repay your kindness, you did something wrong."
Sun Xingyang lowered his eyes and was filled with emotion when he thought about the past: "I was abducted and sold as a slave since I was a child. My master often beat and scolded me. I couldn't bear it, so I escaped and lived in Jingzhou, becoming a beggar.
Just when I was about to starve to death, I met Sun Shurong. She gave me some food and said that the Sun family would give me a living, so I went."
Xiao Chengyi asked him: "Then how come Sun Chengyu recognized you as his adopted son?"
Sun Xingyang said: "It's a coincidence that when I went to the Sun family, I never saw Mr. Sun and Miss Sun. Instead, I was arranged by the government to serve as a nursing home.
One time, when Mr. Sun and Miss Sun were giving out porridge, the porridge shed was collapsed and I was injured trying to save them.
Therefore, Mr. Sun recognized me as his adopted son and handed me over to take care of the affairs of the house.
At that time, I really thought that I had met a noble person, and I thought that I would repay them even if I risked my life.
Later, Mr. Sun trusted me more and more and told me the secret of Yunwu Mountain.
Gradually, I became the major general of Yunwu Mountain, and I have been helping the Sun family train private soldiers."
If Xiao Chengyi hadn't appeared, he might have been deceived by the Sun family and his daughter for the rest of his life.
Xiao Chengyi sighed and said: "Speaking of which, you place too much emphasis on friendship. I believe Sun Chengyu also takes a liking to you."
Sun Xingyang was noncommittal. He was indeed a person who valued friendship too much. He felt that the grace of saving his life was greater than God, and he would repay whatever he said.
Xiao Chengyi patted him on the shoulder and said: "It is a good thing to value friendship. You have given your sincerity to the Sun family and your daughter, but they have never given you sincerity, so it is not your fault.
You don't need to blame yourself, let alone think that friendship is insignificant, you just misjudged the wrong person, just keep your eyes open and be a good person from now on."
Sun Xingyang nodded: "Thank you, the Regent, for your teaching."
Xiao Chengyi said: "Okay, today is your happy day. There is no better way to live up to this beautiful scenery than to go to the bridal chamber to meet your bride."
Sun Xingyang was shocked: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Xiao Chengyi looked at him and said: "Sun Shurong will be left to you to deal with. You can decide whether to keep or kill her.
But I still have to remind you that this resentful woman is the most terrifying.
Don't be deceived by her flattery and think that she has given in. It's okay to use it to relieve your loneliness and vent your resentment, but don't be sincere, otherwise you will end up very miserable."
