Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1203 The Unknown Side

When Pang Zhijing blinked hard to look again, she could no longer see the emotion in his eyes, only calm and unwavering.

Xiao Hou continued, "My mother likes to drink the wine brewed by Ren Po since she was a child. Ren Po mainly makes wine for my mother and concubine to send to the palace."

"At that time, your mother suffered so much, and she would be happy to be able to reunite with her nanny." Pang Zhijing said softly.

"Yes," Xiao Hou's voice suddenly became a little low, "It's a pity that my mother's status was too low back then, and alcohol was rarely delivered to her. At that time, fruit wine became my mother and concubine's only pastime. Drink it, sometimes just take it out and smell the aroma of the wine."

Pang Zhijing was stunned. If Luo Guiren's life was so difficult back then, one can imagine what his childhood was like, and he was lucky to be able to grow up.

She could suddenly understand why he became what he is now, it was all forced by the environment back then.

After Xiao Hou finished speaking, he realized that he had unknowingly said the words buried in his heart. It was the first time he told others about his mother's past in so many years.

Since his mother passed away, things about her have become a taboo in his memory, and he no longer mentions them easily.

Perhaps because he was here today, smelling the familiar aroma of wine in the air, he got carried away.

He raised his head, just in time to meet her pair filled with unspeakable deep distress, his heart paused slightly, as if he was a little surprised.

However, he suddenly smiled, "What kind of eyes are you looking at? Are you sympathizing with me?"

"I didn't." Pang Zhijing immediately shook her head, wondering if she had hurt his self-esteem by being too obvious. Usually, children who grew up in that environment are very sensitive.

And at this moment, there was a creaking sound from the door, as if someone was pushing in from outside. Pang Zhijing was startled, and immediately moved towards him, "Someone came in?"

Xiao Hou was very calm, "Maybe Uncle Wang is back."

"I sold several sugar figurines today, and the business is much better than the previous few days..." An old voice approached from far and near, and one could hear the sound of heavy footsteps, as if they were carrying a heavy weight and were struggling, but they couldn't conceal the joy The tone of voice, and the tune of the humming song.

Something was dropped heavily, and footsteps approached.

"Old lady, tonight..." Before he finished speaking, the old man was overjoyed when he saw Xiao Hou when he entered the door, "Your Highness, you are here!"

Xiao Hou suddenly turned cold, "Uncle Wang, you came back so late again? Didn't I tell you that I will give you the money you need to live, so you don't have to go out and suffer."

It was the first time that Pang Zhijing saw Xiao Hou caring about others, and it didn't violate harmony at all, on the contrary, it made people feel cute and real.

Uncle Wang chuckled, thumped his shoulders and said, "We don't need much money to live. We can also exercise with a small business. You didn't see that my old man's body is much stronger."

Xiao Hou had no choice but to give up on him.

Uncle Wang glanced at the table, then turned and entered another room, "You wait, the old man will bring you some wine, it's rare to come here today, we won't go home until we're drunk!"

Wang Po heard the voice and said to everyone, "Wait a little longer, the food will be served soon, and the old man will accompany you to have a drink later."

After Wang Po finished speaking, she went in immediately.

Uncle Wang took out the jug and put it on the table. Just as he was about to say something, he looked up and saw Pang Zhijing who was quietly sitting beside Xiao Hou. He couldn't help squinting his eyes and took a closer look, "Where is the girl from?"

Pang Zhijing immediately shrank to Xiao Hou's side, where did this old man come from?
Xiao Hou patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, this is Wang Po's husband, and he was also in charge of my mother's house before."

After finishing speaking, he said to Uncle Wang, "This is Pang Zhijing, you can just call her Zhijing."

"Hello, Uncle Wang." Here are the few people he has left who are not relatives but relatives. Pang Zhijing swept away the fear just now, and said hello sweetly.

"Okay, okay, this girl is really handsome, Your Highness is so lucky, come, try the daughter's red brewed by the old woman." Uncle Wang poured wine for the two of them.

Xiao Hou took her cup and said, "Uncle Wang, bring her a fruit bar!"

Uncle Wang patted his forehead, "Yes, I forgot, fruit wine is more suitable for their women, so I'll get it for you now, old man."

At this time, Wang Po had already come out with the dishes.

Pang Zhijing looked at the simple dishes on the table, either stir-fried vegetables or stewed tofu, without any oil or water. She was not picky about food, but she didn't know if Xiao Hou could get used to it.

However, it turned out that she was thinking too much.

Xiao Hou picked it up and ate it naturally, without any hesitation.

While speaking, the house was extremely lively, with the smell of fireworks.

At the dinner table, Uncle Wang and Po Wang had been picking up food for him, and he, a clean freak, didn't dislike him at all, and he never refused anyone who came.

Pang Zhijing felt very strange, but at this moment she had no choice but to put these questions in her stomach, and when she had a chance, she would ask him to clarify.

But the fruit wine was really good, and her attention was drawn to it.

"This fruit wine is sour and bitter. I didn't expect Miss Zhijing to like this taste." Maybe it's because of familiarity, Wang Po is not as restrained as she was at the beginning, and she is a little more cordial.

After Pang Zhijing drank a few glasses of wine, she let go of her whole body. She smiled and said, "I like to eat sweet and sour things when I was young, so this wine suits my appetite very much."

"Just now His Highness also said that he brought you to get wine. When you are about to leave, the old woman will pick out a few cans for you to take away." Wang Po said with a smile.

"Then I will trouble you." Pang Zhijing thanked quickly.

Wang Po waved her hand, not minding it at all, and said, "You're welcome, the old lady brews this wine for herself, and His Highness doesn't like it either."

"Really?" Pang Zhijing subconsciously looked at the person beside him who was drinking with Uncle Wang, obviously that woman had seen him drinking a lot in front of the grave.

At this moment, Wang Po explained to her, "Your Highness doesn't like this taste, but every year on the anniversary of Miss's death, he will accompany Miss to have a few drinks, and he basically doesn't touch it during the rest of the time."

Only then did Pang Zhijing suddenly realize that it was so.

But at this moment, there was a strong wind outside, as if it was going to rain again.

"Old man, stop drinking. Go out with me and collect those pickles. I forgot to bring them in today." Wang Po immediately called Uncle Wang out.

Uncle Wang immediately put down his wine glass and went out with her.

There were only two people left in the room.

Pang Zhijing was drinking fruit wine to her satisfaction when Xiao Hou's faint voice sounded in her ears.

"Do you know who Nan Cang sent to congratulate him this time?"

Pang Zhijing blinked, how could she know?

Xiao Hou didn't want to wait for her to answer, and said directly, "You Qingxi."

The name seems a little familiar.

Xiao Hou has already explained by the way, "You were the only son of the prime minister who had failed in love before."
