Zheng Liu didn't seem to pay much attention to it when he wrote it. He wrote like a random essay and the arrangement was not neat at all.
Fonts can reflect the mood of the author.
Judging from the handwriting, Zheng Liu was in a bad mood at that time.
There are some ink spots on the paper, probably caused by her flicking the pen randomly.
In addition, there are a few shoe prints. It is very likely that Zheng Liu's people came to move things and did not pay attention to these small things. They swept them off the desk and stepped on them a few times.
No matter how specific the inside story is, Xu Miao has no way of knowing.
But if she found out, I'm afraid she would be angry again.
These pieces of paper were written by Zheng Liu after Liu Xun was rejected by Shuixian Hutong and went back to the house to vent his anger on Zheng Liu in the middle of the night.
She was so angry those days that she didn't want to say a word to Liu Xun.
But unfortunately, we can’t stop communicating at all.
Liu Xun blamed her for coming up with random ideas and alerting the enemy.
Zheng Liu was so angry that he criticized Liu Ping with his pen, talking about Liu Jing, and also scolded Liu Xun.
Her anger was all written on those days.
Many papers were later burned, but these few were left out and got into Xu Miao's hands by accident.
Xu Miao pinched the paper with her fingertips very hard.
She knows every word and what they mean together.
Xu Miao knew Zheng Liu's dissatisfaction with A Ping.
On the day of the accident, when she took A Ping out of the house to Guangde Temple, Zheng Liu scolded A Ping in person.
Xu Miao also knows how to please the prince.
The incident in Chenmi Hutong originated from this. Zheng Liu scolded him harshly, but he could understand the difficulty.
You can add another sentence...
Xu Miao took a deep breath.
She originally thought that Xun'er was out of her mind when she set her sights on A-Ping. Zheng Liu agreed with Xun'er's move, but she never knew that the master "wanted to be the head of the country."
Is this Zheng Liu’s conjecture, or is this the internal situation?
Will father and son hide the secret from her again?
Xu Miao turned her head and looked at Liu Jing.
Liu Jing stood by the door, looking hesitant.
His conversation with Xu Miao was not smooth, but he could not stop Xu Miao from packing Xun'er's things.
The house was in a mess, and he couldn't help even if he wanted to, so he could only stand aside in despair.
Until he found Xu Miao picking up a few pieces of paper.
On that side is a small study built in the house. It is fully equipped. When it is messy, it is not uncommon for papers to fall to the floor.
Liu Jing only thought it was a poem that Liu Xun or Zheng Liu had written casually before, until he saw Xu Miao's shoulders tensed up.
My heart skipped a beat.
Then, an inexplicable panic surged into my heart.
It was an indescribable emotion, more like instinct, reminding him of the impending crisis.
He felt unhappy, but Liu Jing still had a calm expression on his face, and then he saw Xu Miao turn her head.
Those eyes that were already swollen from crying were looking straight at him.
Liu Jing should have read something from her eyes, but now, he has gained nothing.
Xu Miao had not cleansed her face before. Her face was full of tears and her eyes were very blurry.
Liu Jing took two steps forward: "Madam, what's wrong?"
Xu Miao remained silent and handed the pieces of paper to Liu Jing.
Liu Jing took it and took a look, his eyes suddenly tightened.
Crazy!
Zheng Liu is really a madman!
This kind of thing can be written down with a pen, and it hasn’t been cleaned up yet!
"What are the two of them doing?" Liu Jing frowned, his words full of dissatisfaction.
Xu Miao looked up at him and asked, "Don't you know, sir?"
"I don't know," Liu Jing replied immediately, "I don't know what they are fussing about!"
Xu Miao asked again: "Do you want to be the head of the country?"
Liu Jing balled up the paper, lowered his head and asked, "Madam, don't you believe me?"
Xu Miao did not directly answer whether she believed it or not. She just said: "I just told the master that you let the whole family hide so many things from me, so I will wonder if you have hidden other things from me."<
/p>
This sentence has also made a statement.
Liu Jing pressed his eyebrows and took a deep breath: "Madam, I don't..."
"Don't you want to be the head of the state?" Xu Miao interrupted Liu Jing and continued to ask.
Her voice was very calm, not noisy, not hysterical, and gentle, as if asking "Do you want to go out together tomorrow?"
But behind the calmness, how much ups and downs there are, only Xu Miao herself knows.
She didn't have the time or the emotion to resolve the turmoil. She could only suppress it, not think too much about other things, and just focus on what was in front of her.
Liu Jing was questioned by Xu Miao.
If Xu Miao was a little more excited at the moment, Liu Jing would know how to talk her through.
But Xu Miao was so calm that Liu Jing knew in his heart that many words could not break this layer of calm.
"It's not about being the head of the state," Liu Jing wiped his face, "I just want A-Ping to have a good marriage."
Xu Miao nodded slightly, seeming to accept the answer, but she did not stop asking the question: "Is it a good match for the prince to have fun with Xun'er?"
"I don't know about their debauchery," Liu Jing said hurriedly. "If I knew, would I be able to let Xun'er and the prince continue to go to Chenmi Hutong? The prince is the prince, and he goes to the third palace and the sixth courtyard, where is his identity. Madam
"I don't approach women casually, and that doesn't mean that other men will do the same."
Xu Miao said: "It seems that the master has indeed entertained the idea of letting A-Ping serve the prince."
Liu Jing took a deep breath.
Xu Miao is too salty and salty tonight.
If it were any other time, Liu Jing would have been a very patient person. He would have been willing to communicate with Xu Miao without any haste and slowly change people's minds.
But tonight is different.
Xun'er was exiled and dismissed from office. Everything in the first half of his life was in vain, and the second half of his life was also in confusion.
It's hard for him to be patient enough anymore.
"Madam," Liu Jing sighed, seeming helpless and sad, "I have been together as husband and wife for twenty years, and I regard you as my confidant, but you criticized me when I was at my lowest."
Xu Miao pursed her lips and said nothing.
Liu Jing added: "Madam is right, I have lied to you, and I have betrayed your trust. It is only natural for you to question me because of this.
I don’t know exactly what A-Jian said to you these few times. I just felt that your mood fluctuated greatly, and it seemed that you were affected by other people.
Maybe you should free your mind and listen more to your own thoughts."
As he spoke, Liu Jing raised his hands and pressed them on Xu Miao's shoulders.
He looked directly into Xu Miao's eyes, and Xu Miao responded with his gaze.
Xu Miao kept looking at him for a long time. When Liu Jing thought Xu Miao didn't want to say anything more, she slowly spoke.
"Maybe, maybe there is something untrue in what A-Jian said."
When Liu Jing heard her opening like this, he felt no joy at all.
There are too many twists and turns in Xu Miao tonight
As expected, Xu Miao's next words fell heavily on my mind.
"Just like Xun'er, Xun'er also lied to me a lot," Xu Miao smiled bitterly when she said this, "Children are debts, but husband and wife are not."
Hearing this, Liu Jing knew that communication between him and Xu Miao was completely impossible.
In other words, he can no longer use his methods and words to make Xu Miao change his mind.
"Madam," Liu Jing's voice deepened, "Madam, do you mean peace and separation?"
Xu Miao was stunned.
The two words "Heli" were like sharp knives, piercing straight into her heart.
She actually didn't think about it that much.
The situation in front of her was a mess. Just sorting out the affairs of A Jian, Xun'er and the others had already taken up enough of her energy. She made it clear to her master, but she didn't think about how to proceed.
In fact, she originally thought about returning to her hometown with her husband.
However, after a night of conversation, her thoughts changed.
But no matter how much it changes, there is no such rapid progress, and now, the master has laid out the matter.
"The master doesn't plan to let A-Ping and I return home together, but lets us stay in the capital," Xu Miao asked Liu Jing, "Then what happened in the master's original plan? You and I are separated, and we are separated.
Miss each other?"
Liu Jing paused.
Xu Miao asked again: "Or am I unable to bear the boring life in Beijing and begging A Jian to let me go find you?"
Liu Jing:......
Xu Miao asked so sincerely.
She wasn't deliberately provocative, nor was she being sarcastic, she was just asking along the way.
It was so direct that Liu Jing, who was always eloquent and eloquent, was confused and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Xu Miao didn’t really want Liu Jing to give a clear explanation.
After gently hugging Liu Jing, she let him go. She even took two steps back when Liu Jing was absent-minded, preventing Liu Jing from pressing her shoulders again.
"Whether we want to make peace with each other or not," Xu Miao said softly, "Master, I have lived a good life in the past twenty years. If we don't see each other again in the future, I hope to leave a good thought."<
/p>
After saying this, Xu Miao ignored Liu Jing and packed up all the things that Liu Xun should bring, handed some of them to Aunt Xia, and held some of them herself, planning to go back to her room.
Only then did Liu Jing come to his senses.
"Good thoughts?" He murmured and sneered.
Liu Jing returned to the front study and sat there until dawn.
For the last two quarters of an hour, he seemed to have fallen asleep. At the point where he normally wakes up, he opened his eyes with another jolt.
While washing, changing, and arranging the court clothes, he suddenly remembered: There is no need to go to the morning court.
He is no longer the Minister of Honglu Temple.
Liu Jing changed out of his court clothes and went out in his regular clothes, sitting at a street stall and having breakfast.
Very unaccustomed.
It is indeed very unaccustomed to welcome the bustle on the street.
When the time was almost up, Liu Jing went to Qianbu Corridor.
I met many officials on the road and was embarrassed to see Liu Jing show up.
Liu Jing ignored them and only found two young ministers to explain everything they were doing.
"When will your lord set off?" Huang Shaoqing asked.
"I'm no longer an adult," Liu Jing waved his hand, "There's no need to see you off, and there's nothing to give you. I'll leave first."
Huang Shaoqing looked around and lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty is angry. After a few years, this matter has passed. We will try to find ways to mention you more. Maybe your Majesty will be willing to call you back again."
Liu Jing is a capable official.
When the Holy One employs people, he will definitely not want to bury them. It is not the case that has not been repeated in the past...
Liu Jing said "thank you", but he didn't mean it in his heart at all.
From the beginning to the end, he never expected to recover.
As long as Xu Jian is around, he will never be allowed to make a comeback.
Otherwise, he would not have communicated with Xu Miao like that yesterday.
Thinking of Xu Miao, Liu Jing became more and more upset.
After leaving Qianbu Corridor, Liu Jing went to see Liu Xun again.
Liu Xun has been moved from the clean small room in Shuntian Mansion to the Yamen of Dali Temple for detention. He is only waiting for the completion of the charter and will be on his way tomorrow.
Liu Jing walked through the entire Qianbu Corridor from east to west, all the way to Dali Temple.
Along the way, I met many officials.
Liu Jing walked with his head down and in a hurry.
When Dali Temple saw him coming to visit the prison, they were not embarrassed and asked the clerk to lead him to the prison.
Perhaps because of the "old friendship", the cell where Liu Xun was located was relatively clean. He was the only one living there, and there were no other prisoners in the neighboring cells.
Even Liu Xun couldn't stand it.
Since he was a child, he didn't live in a shabby place like this.
Knowing that they had something to say, the clerk did not stay.
When father and son met, Liu Xun burst into tears.
"Father, do I really want to go alone? I will definitely not survive! I will definitely die on the way!"
"I obviously did what you said, why is this happening..."
Liu Jing shook his head at him: "Xun'er, if you really listen to me in everything, how could you end up like this..."
Liu Xun was anxious: "Am I not obedient enough?"
"What have you done that I asked you to do earlier?" Liu Jing asked in a low voice, "That's all, the matter has come to this, there is no use talking about it. Xun'er, you have to be more careful about your words and deeds now, you have to
Remember, misfortune comes from the mouth. Don’t say that. Your mother has prepared a lot of banknotes for you. You can watch them go out on the way..."
Liu Xun asked: "Where is my mother? What will she do next?"
"She and A-Ping stayed in Beijing," Liu Jing said, "I'm going back to my hometown, Xun'er. This time, my father really has nothing."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Do you blame me? Are you blaming me?" Liu Xun said, "You asked me to follow your path. You made my mother believe in you and obey your words. Why can you do it but I can't? The princess is very scheming.
Zheng Liu is a lunatic. Why can’t any of the ones you picked out for me look like my mother..."
"Xun'er!" Liu Jing scolded in a deep voice, "Look what kind of place this is! This is not a place where you can just say whatever you want!"
Angry and angry, Liu Jing wanted to scold him again, but he heard a voice coming from outside.
It's very familiar, it's Xu Jian's voice.
What he said was "Why don't you go in?"
Liu Jing turned around suddenly.
There were two people standing at the entrance of the dungeon, a master and a servant. They both had cloth bags on their hands, blocking the light at the entrance, but Liu Jing could recognize them. They were Xu Miao and Aunt Xia.
Liu Jing's breathing suddenly became tight, as if someone had strangled his neck.
Liu Xun also saw it and opened his mouth but made no sound.
Outside, Xu Jian, who had just arrived, walked towards Xu Miao.
With just one glance, he could tell that Xu Miao's complexion was very wrong and pale.
Holding Xu Miao's hand, he glanced inside and saw Liu Jing was there, and Xu Jian suddenly understood.
Xu Miao came at the wrong time.
She heard some things she shouldn't have heard.
Those words were like poisoned silver needles, piercing into her blood and flesh, driving her towards madness.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Jian gave Xu Miao a slight tug on her hand: "Come with me. I have something to ask you for."
Xu Miao's figure swayed, but she did not move.
She just looked at the father and son in the prison and asked in a trembling voice: "What does someone like me look like?"
Liu Xun was so frightened that his face turned pale.
He didn't know about the conversation between his parents last night, he just thought it was his venting of emotions that opened up a hole in the shady truth.
In desperation, it was rare for him not to make further mistakes.
"Mother," Liu Xun knelt down, holding the fence with both hands, crying, "Mother, I don't want to be exiled, please save me, save me..."
Xu Miao's tears fell quickly.
This is her biological son. Even if she makes mistakes, she will still feel distressed.
For a moment, she wanted to put aside the questions in her mind, rush over and hold her son in her arms, and the mother and son burst into tears.
But her arm was held by Ah Jian.
After that moment, she asked again with tears in her eyes: "What does it look like to be like me?"
Liu Xun paused in crying and glanced at Liu Jing.
Liu Jing's face became extremely gloomy, and he scolded Liu Xun fiercely in his heart.
The brat also said to listen to him.
What did he hear?
Why can he do it but Liu Xun can’t?
If Liu Xun does things like this, can there be no mistakes?
He has worked hard to build it for many years, and even though he has failed now, he still has some airs left. Now that it is better, Xun'er kicked it away with just two words.
"Madam..." Liu Jing's throat rolled.
Just as he was about to continue, Xu Jian glanced at him with lowered eyes.
Cold, ruthless, warning, and precaution.
All the emotions came out and were clearly placed in front of Liu Jing.
Liu Jing involuntarily took a small step back.
Xu Jian did not pull Xu Miao hard, but winked with Aunt Xia.
Aunt Xia also sensed that something was wrong and whispered softly: "Madam, the Duke has something to tell you, why don't you go outside first?"
The stalemate in this room naturally fell into Liu Jing's eyes.
A thought flashed across his mind, and Liu Jing suddenly realized it.
Xu Jian was well aware of Xun'er's gaffe, but he never confided it to Xu Miao.
What Liu Jing didn't want Xu Miao to know, Xu Jian also didn't want to know. In fact, Xu Jian was afraid of letting Xu Miao hear the truth.
Ha!
As expected of a mother and son.
Even though Xu Miao only raised Xu Jian for a hundred days, Xu Jian still cared about her and protected her.
After thinking about this, Liu Jing suddenly changed his mind.
If Xu Jian is not willing, Liu Jing will be willing!
Xu Miao said "good thoughts" yesterday.
But he has nothing, why can Xu Miao still have good thoughts? It seems that his twenty years are like a joke!
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Remove the title and never be hired.
Without prospects, without a head start, what's the use of even having such a breath?
He couldn't be any worse.
"Like Madam..." Liu Jing paused and looked at Xu Jian provocatively.
Xu Jian pursed her lower lip.
He saw through Liu Jing's dark heart.
Even with brute strength, he had to take Xu Miao away.
The next moment, a hand held him down, and Xu Miao shook her head at him.
"Ajian," Xu Miao's voice was soft but firm, "Let me finish listening. I must finish listening."
