The Pastoral Empress Merchant
Chapter 725 Qiong Yao drama?
Chapter 725 Qiong Yao drama?
When Jue Lin heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. If he was willing to calm down and listen to his explanation, it meant that there was still room for things to turn around. It's okay, okay, as long as they are willing to listen, he is sure to calm them down, at least not When they saw him, they yelled to fight and kill him.
But... Jue Lin smiled wryly. He probably couldn't hide this matter from Jin'er, and he didn't know what kind of reaction she would have when she found out. Thinking of Jin'er's possible reaction, he felt a little faint on his forehead. It hurts.
"Juelin, tell me, we'll give you a chance to speak clearly for the sake of Xiaoxi and Xiaobao. You'd better be able to explain clearly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude and offending you The palace is here!" Master Xiao said in a deep voice, staring at Juelin sharply.
Jue Lin said with incomparable sincerity: "I have absolutely no pretense towards Xiao Xi and Xiao Bao, please believe in my intentions."
After talking, Jue Lin explained how the incident happened, why he was injured and passed out in Xiushui Village, why he did that to Jin Er after being rescued, and why he disappeared without a trace afterwards. , What happened after returning to the capital, and how I met Jin'er when I went to Taohua Town a few years later, all told them one by one.
Everyone frowned when they heard this, especially Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiao. Both of them were prime ministers and had been immersed in the court for many years. Their keen insight told them that there was absolutely nothing about Jue Lin being assassinated and injured. What he said now is so simple, maybe there is some conspiracy in it.
The old man Xiao, who knew Juelin's identity, thought more deeply, staring at Juelin suspiciously, wondering if someone in the court knew about Juelin's identity, that's why he had to go to the pass, no Ready to assassinate him at the slightest preparation, want to kill him and let him die in the pass?He must know the truth about this matter, but he didn't say it. Does this mean that he has scruples about the person who did this matter?
The people who can make Juelin feel scruples are nothing more than the emperor's princes, that is to say, does anyone among the princes know Juelin's identity?Does the emperor know about this?Should not know?If the emperor knew about it, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to be so calm.Which prince is that?
Old Mrs. Xiao was speculating in his heart.
After hearing Jue Lin's words, Mu Ankang was a little dazed. He didn't expect that there were so many things he didn't know. If Jue Lin really said so, then he is not such a jerk... But, why did he never Haven't gone back to find them?If he had the heart, he knew where they were, and it wouldn't be difficult to go back and find Xiao Xi to take responsibility, wouldn't it?
Thinking of this, Mu Ankang's face, which had just eased up a little bit, suddenly sank again, and he squinted at Jue Lin and asked sinisterly: "Since you are determined to be responsible, why didn't you go back to find Xiaoxi when the time came?"
Jue Lin sighed lightly, and admitted honestly: "This is because I didn't think carefully. At first, I just thought that I would go back to find you when I got better, but later I was delayed by some things, and it was not until the year before last. I found time to go to the pass again, and asked Lao Mo to go to Xiushui Village to find you, but..." Thinking of what happened to Lao Mo, Jue Lin didn't know how to speak.
"Just what?" Mu Ankang asked forcefully.
Juelin looked at him innocently and said, "It's just that when Lao Mo went there, he met Jin'er and asked her about it, but Jin'er said that you moved away, and also said that when something like that happened back then, then My family couldn't stay in Xiushui Village, I didn't know where they moved, and Lao Mo didn't think that Jin'er would lie to him, so I didn't continue to ask for proof. Check slowly."
"What? You sent the person who went to Xiushui Village to inquire about the news?" Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun exclaimed in unison.
Jue Lin nodded and said, "It's me."
Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun couldn't help grinding their teeth when they thought of the good things their daughter had done.This girl Xiao Xi is really a fool, she knew at that time that he was here to inquire about her, but in the end she tricked him and tricked him away!
Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun had forgotten what Mu Jinxi had said about this matter at the moment, but even if they remembered, they would think that she deliberately deceived people away. "Then what's going on with you, Xiaoxi, and Xiaobao?" Mu Ankang asked after sullen for a while.
Speaking of this, Jue Lin couldn't help showing a hint of pride and pride in being a father, and said: "Maybe it's because Xiaobao and I are biological father and son, and we have an unbroken blood relationship. The first time I saw Xiaobao, I immediately I feel a very strange feeling, I like him very much, I want to get close to him involuntarily, so does Xiaobao. Later I met Jiner, and I think Jiner is a good woman, I have also reached the age of marriage, and I like him very much Xiaobao, so I think that since this is the case, why don't I marry Jin'er, and we can be a family."
After a pause, Jue Lin explained again: "At that time, I didn't know the identities of Jin'er and Xiaobao, and you all know that I was in a coma when I was rescued by you, and I never really woke up. I, I have no impression of Jin'er's appearance, and Jin'er seems to be very different from a few years ago, and Jin'er told us that she is the person whose husband died, so I have no doubts. It was later I discovered the truth by chance after I came to the capital."
Mu Ankang looked at him with strange eyes and asked suspiciously: "You really didn't know Xiaoxi's identity back then, and you wanted to marry her willingly? Even if she has a son?"
Xiao Nianxun also looked at Jue Lin with burning eyes, wanting to see if he was telling the truth or not.
Regarding this point, Juelin has absolutely a clear conscience, and said frankly: "Yes, because I think Jin'er is a good woman. Although she has a son and her life is not good, she doesn't complain about others and feel sorry for herself. Self-pity, on the contrary, is to work hard, live hard, and strive for a better life for myself and my family. I admired her character at that time. I also like Xiaobao very much. I think that if we get married, let Xiaobao be me It's not a bad thing for her son. As for Jin'er's past, I don't think it's important, everyone has their own past, there's no need to dwell on it, the future is what matters."
It would be impossible for Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun to say that their hearts were not shaken when they heard Jue Lin's words.only…….
"Since you already knew the identities of Jin'er and Xiaobao, why didn't you tell the truth, but chose to hide it? What's your intention?" Mu Ankang asked aggressively.
"Father-in-law, I have no choice. I really want to marry Jin'er, but if Jin'er knew about it at that time, would she still be able to marry me? You also know Jin'er's temperament. I have misunderstood this matter, so I am afraid it will not be so easy for me to marry her. I can wait, but Xiaobao can’t wait! I thought for a long time before deciding to hide it from Xi’er, thinking that I would wait until I find a suitable one. If I have the opportunity to confess to Jin'er again, I never thought of keeping it from her." Jue Lin said helplessly.
Everyone's complexions were a little weird. Thinking of Xiao Xi's character, if she had known that Jue Lin was the same person at the beginning, she must have really refused to agree to the marriage. It can be seen from her attitude towards Mo Qingcang who went to inquire about the news. I got a glimpse of it, but, but this can't be the reason for Jue Lin to deceive everyone, right?
Jue Lin glanced at everyone and immediately guessed what everyone was thinking at this time, and hurriedly said: "I know this is wrong, and I never thought that if I explained it clearly, everyone would forgive me immediately, but I hope everyone can give me a chance, don't completely deny me because of the mistakes I have made, and deny my love for Jin'er and Xiaobao, I have absolutely no lie to their mother and child."
After finishing speaking, Jue Lin stood up, bowed his hands towards Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun, and said very sincerely: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I hope you can give me a chance, and in the days to come, let me prove that you will It is a right choice for Jin'er to marry me, and I will make Jin'er happy."
Neither Xiao Nianxun nor Mu Ankang spoke.
They listened to Jue Lin's explanation, and they understood that Jue Lin could not be entirely blamed. He was found in a coma and rescued by his subordinates and returned to the capital. He didn't wake up until he returned to the capital and fell into a coma again. After that, it took several months for his body to fully heal his injuries, but the injuries were healed, but the pursuit of the real culprit held him back, even if he had the intention to repay them at that time Also powerless, right?
If he brought Jin'er back to the capital, it was not because they underestimated his daughter, the former Xiaoxi would not have been able to survive in the capital. The former Xiaoxi had a soft personality, and there was no way for her to be with the current little Xi. Compared with Xiaoxi, if it wasn't for suffering too much, Xiaoxi would not have grown up like she is now.Now the time for her and Jue Lin to meet again seems to be just right.
Maybe this is really what God meant?
Before this, they always thought that Juelin was ungrateful, and after taking Xiaoxi's innocence, he slapped his ass and left. He didn't want to be responsible, so they hated him, but now it seems that this is not the case. It's not that he doesn't want to be responsible, he thought about taking Xiaoxi to the capital to enjoy the blessings, and he really sent someone to find them, but it was Xiaoxi who tricked them away.
Although Juelin came a few years late, at least it proved that he had a heart and was a responsible person.And it just so happens that he can still remember this incident a few years later, and he can still remember that he once betrayed others and wants to make up for it. Isn't it more proof that Juelin's character is indeed good?It would be the best if Xiaoxi could marry him. He is Xiaobao's biological father, the person Xiaoxi once loved deeply, and the person who has a close relationship with her. If the two can be together , is of course the best thing.
But, but...
Mu Ankang was very upset. Although he understood these truths, it was one thing to understand it, but another to accept it calmly!Whether Juelin is a good person and what he has done are two different things, they should not be confused!Is it because he now knows that he was wrong, and because he had a hard time when he made a mistake, so can the mistakes he made be written off?
How can this be!He refuses to accept it!He can't accept it!
So Mu Ankang listened to Jue Lin's words, and after knowing all the things, he remained calm and silent, showing his temper in front of everyone for the first time.
Compared to him, Xiao Nianxun is much better. Firstly, she is a woman, and women are easy to soften their hearts. Secondly, women's concept of chastity has deeply affected her view of Jue Lin.In her opinion, her daughter lost her life to Jue Lin, and she gave birth to a child, that is Jue Lin's person. According to common sense, no matter what kind of person Jue Lin is, she will follow Jue Lin. This is the best result.
If Juelin is a person who is ignorant and of poor character, then as parents, even if they raise her for the rest of their lives, they will not force her to marry such a person, but the problem is that Juelin is alone now. A person who is like a dragon in Zhongzhi is single-minded towards her, and does not dislike her because of her status, and still has the guilt in the past. After Xiaoxi marries him, as long as he manages well, the rest of his life will be absolutely worry-free!
Isn't this the best result?Is it better than Xiaoxi marrying someone else?Juelin was at fault, but his fault had not reached the point of being unforgivable and unforgivable, so they should give him a chance.It is better to teach people to beat children than to teach people to divide wives. The marriage between Xiaoxi and Jue Lin is already an established fact. They can't ruin Xiaoxi's happiness for the rest of her life just because of one breath, right?
Besides, isn't there still father and elder brother?Father and elder brother should know more about Juelin than they do. If they think Juelin is credible, then they are credible. The solution is good.
Thinking so, Xiao Nianxun turned his attention to his father and elder brother, and silently asked their opinions.
Old Mrs. Xiao frowned tightly, not knowing what he was thinking, Mr. Xiao also frowned slightly, no one said a word, the front hall became quiet again for a while, Jue Lin was not in a hurry, this is the best way When things got worse, he didn't dare to expect them to forgive him right away and accept him without any grievances.
After a while, Xiao Nianxun couldn't help asking: "Father, brother, what do you guys think about this matter? You should say something!"
Mu Ankang also set his sights on his father and elder brother. He knew that this matter must not be left to him to do whatever he wanted, and he still had to listen to what his father and elder brother wanted. Be clear.
The old man Xiao stroked his long beard, and said lightly: "Juelin, you should go back today! We need to discuss this matter carefully. It is really that you did something wrong. We are Xiaoxi's relatives. , can't just watch her being bullied and pretend nothing happened."
Juelin felt relieved, and didn't say anything, but stood up and said, "Since my grandfather said so, then Juelin will go back to the house first. This is what Juelin did wrong, but please believe my grandfather." Jue Lin, Jue Lin's heart for Jin'er is true, and Jue Lin will treat Jin'er well in the future, and will not let her be wronged or suffer."
Hearing Jue Lin call "grandfather", the corners of Mrs. Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, wanting to say something, I can't afford to be your grandfather!But seeing his daughter, son-in-law and son beside him, he swallowed his words and waved his hand to let Juelin go.
Jue Lin blessed the other three before resolutely turning around and striding away.
After Jue Lin left, the hall became quiet again. Xiao Nianxun was waiting to see what his father and elder brother had to say, while Mu Ankang was sulking all by himself, feeling uncomfortable and cheap to let Jue Lin go. He is gone!
"What do you two mean? After all, you two are Xiaoxi's parents. You should have the final say on her marriage. Your elder brother and I can only give some opinions." Old Master Xiao said slowly .
"Father, what are you talking about? Although we are Xiaoxi's parents, one of you and your elder brother is Xiaoxi's grandfather and the other is Xiaoxi's uncle. For the sake of her life-long event, you can also talk. The two of us are also I can't make up my mind. Now that the dowry has been paid and the wedding date is set, we are waiting for the big wedding. What can we do if such a thing happens? Moreover, this marriage was bestowed by the emperor, so there is no discussion There's room, isn't it?"
Xiao Nianxun didn't know if he was trying to convince himself or the silent husband beside him.
Old Master Xiao's eyes fell on Mu Ankang, and he asked seriously, "Ankang, what do you think?"
When asked by surprise, Mu Ankang couldn't react, blinked his eyes, and said with a stiff neck: "I don't think Juelin can be so cheap, even if the marriage is fixed, so what? Is it because the marriage is fixed, so we just talk about it?" Do you want to suffer this big loss? Although Juelin cannot be blamed for what happened at the beginning, in the final analysis, he is the one who made the mistake, right? If this is the case, we, wouldn’t we be looked down upon by others? Coveting the power of the palace and even refusing to seek justice for her own daughter who has suffered such a great grievance? How is this different from those who follow others?"
Master Xiao frowned, and it was the first time he agreed with the words of his sister-in-law, and said: "Ankang's words are also reasonable, no matter how you say it's the fault of Jue Lin, although he has difficulties, but he can't erase his past treatment of Xiaoxi. The damage caused by Xiaobao really can't just be ignored, Jue Lin must be taught a lesson."
Old Mrs. Xiao closed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, and then hummed softly for a while and said, "In this case, then do as you wish! But how do you want to teach Jue Lin a lesson? My lord, although we are engaged now, after all, we haven't got married yet. You are just future parents-in-law. Don't tell me you want to use your identities as parents-in-law to train Juelin before the wedding? If it spreads, the bad thing is Xiaoxi's reputation, others will only say that you don't know etiquette, you don't know how to measure, and you don't know what to say about Jue Lin."
"And don't you forget that what happened a few days ago has already been told in that way, and that's how it is in the eyes of others. If you make a fuss and spread the matter, it will change If Jue Lin is an ungrateful and unfeeling man, then you have slapped the emperor in the face? At the beginning, the emperor explained this matter clearly and won Xiaoxi a good reputation. If you make trouble now, then all this will be in vain , Xiaoxi and Xiaobao's reputation will also be affected, you guys, think about it clearly."
Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun were shocked at the same time, astonishment and worry flashed across their faces, and finally fell silent, especially Mu Ankang, who broke out in a cold sweat.
That's right, why did he forget about this matter? At the beginning, Xiaobao's identity was exposed, but finally the emperor explained it and justified Xiaoxi's name. Only then did Xiaoxi and Xiaobao escape the past without any danger , if it is reported that things are not like this now, wouldn't it be slapping the emperor in the face and making it difficult for the emperor to be a man?Xiaoxi's reputation would only get worse, and even Xiaobao might be hurt.
Although the emperor loves Jue Lin, but that is only limited to Jue Lin, right?What if the emperor becomes ashamed and angry and blames Xiao Xi?Wouldn't the rest of Xiao Xi's life be ruined?
No, no, absolutely not!Xiaoxi has finally come to where she is today, and she must not make a mistake.Jue Lin was at fault, he didn't want to let Jue Lin go just like that, but he never thought about letting Jue Lin and Xiaoxi's marriage fail!
"Father, we're not saying that we want to ruin the marriage between Jue Lin and Xiao Xi. Although I don't understand the truth, this marriage was bestowed by the emperor. I also know that we can't play tricks, and we can't do it. It's just that I just want to let Jue Lin has suffered a bit, otherwise, what is the hardship that Xiao Xi and Xiao Bao have suffered?" Mu Ankang was upset about this.
Xiao Nianxun also nodded and said: "Yes, Dad, the marriage is going to continue, but if it hasn't happened, it's as if nothing happened! This is really too cheap, and we can't let it go!"
Xiao Xi is also their darling, how can Jue Lin be bullied like this?She thought it would be nice for Jue Lin to be her son-in-law, but it was a different matter, and Jue Lin still had to learn the lesson he should have received!
"Well, since you all think that Juelin should suffer a little bit for this, let him suffer a little bit! There are many methods, and it doesn't have to be a method that hurts Xiaoxi and Xiaobao. Listen to me Yes, by the way, can you test Juelin to see how firm his heart is towards Xiaoxi!" Old Mrs. Xiao's eyes flashed a cunning light, full of calculations.
Master Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, wiped his forehead, and thought to himself that he thought his father was really so easy to talk, and he wanted to let Juelin go, so it turned out that this was the last trick.He just said, father dotes on Xiao Xi so much, how could he just let Jue Lin go.
Well, I don't know how father will punish Juelin?It can not only teach Jue Lin a lesson, but also make them vent their anger...
Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun's eyes lit up at the same time when they heard Mrs. Xiao's words, and they said in unison: "Please enlighten me."
Old Mrs. Xiao's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "If you want to teach Jue Lin a lesson, you have to start with his shortcomings."
After finishing speaking, Old Master Xiao closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun frowned, looked at each other, and saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Start with the shortcomings of Jue Lin?What is Juelin's weakness?
After thinking for a long time, the two still didn't come up with a reason, they could only look at the elder brother for help, Master Xiao coughed lightly and reminded in a low voice: "Xiao Xi."
Xiaoxi?
Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun didn't understand even more, and finally Mu Ankang came to his senses, slapped his thigh fiercely, and shouted happily: "I understand!"
After Mu Ankang realized it, a wicked light flashed in his eyes. Thinking about the future of Juelin, the breath in his heart finally subsided a little, his mood improved, and he even showed a smile on his face.
Only Xiao Nianxun hadn't turned around yet, seeing the happy and happy smiles on the faces of his eldest brother and his husband, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, what does it mean?Why is she the only one who doesn't understand?Could it be that I am even more stupid than my husband?
At that time, Mu Jinxi was still busy with goat milk in Fangrong Pavilion, and she didn't know anything about what happened in the mansion. If she knew, she would know what would happen.
Jue Lin became more distressed. After returning to the palace, he locked himself in the study to think about countermeasures, and also thought about the possible reactions of the people in Xiao's mansion. Judging from the situation just now, his father-in-law probably didn't treat him well. The method is so easy to forgive, but the mother-in-law is more talkative, and the latter can pretend to be pitiful in front of the mother-in-law?No, no, how could his majestic little prince Juelin do such a small trick?Disgraceful.
It's just that my wife is about to be unable to marry, and my son is about to lose, so I don't care about the shame. The mother-in-law is a woman, and she has a soft heart, so she has to do it. The father-in-law is not easy to deal with. He Just now, he lost control and slapped himself.This was the first time in my life that someone slapped me.
Jue Lin touched his cheek and found a pain. He quickly took a mirror and looked at it, and saw a scar on the lower part of the cheek near the neck, which was slightly red and even oozing a little blood.He frowned, guessing it was caused by his father-in-law. At that time, he only felt a pain, but he didn't pay much attention. He didn't expect to be really injured. Fortunately, he didn't see his grandmother when he came back, otherwise he wouldn't know Grandma will be shocked, and she will have to explain it again if she asks.
After looking at it for a while, Jue Lin dug out the high-quality golden sore medicine in the study, wiped it on carefully before giving up, and sat back on the chair to worry about it. Then he thought of another more important question, and immediately Jumped up from the chair.
Too bad, if Jin'er went back and they told Jin'er about the matter, wouldn't Jin'er be going to explode?
Thinking of this, Jue Lin couldn't help panicking, walking back and forth in the study room, frowning tightly, eyes full of worry and uneasiness.He really hadn't been afraid of anything, but as long as he thought that Jin'er might get angry because of this incident, and thus hate himself, avoid him, or simply regret the marriage and not want to get married, he would be extremely flustered And fear, feeling like I'm about to lose something very important.
This made him unable to sit still, his handsome face was full of worry, and finally he stood in front of the window and looked at the bare tree branches outside the window, in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, and it took a long time before Pursing her lips, as if she had made a decision, she strode out of the study, left the palace and went straight to Fangrong Pavilion.
He knows that Jin'er is busy in Fangrong Pavilion today, if Jin'er is still in Fangrong Pavilion at this moment, then he will confess to Jin'er, if Jin'er is not in Fangrong Pavilion, then he, then he will resign himself to fate!The parents-in-law and the others can tell Jin'er whatever they want, no matter what the result will be, he will admit it!
When Juelin arrived at Fangrong Pavilion, he asked, and the people in Fangrong Pavilion said that their boss was on the third floor at this time. Hearing this, Juelin didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or worry about his situation later. up.
After taking a deep breath, Jue Lin went up to the third floor familiarly, and went straight to the so-called office. After hesitating for a while, he reached out and knocked on the door.
Mu Jinxi was thinking about something in the private room, when she heard someone knock on the door, she thought it was Qiu Ju, so she replied, "Come in."
But after the people outside came in, she looked at him in surprise and asked, "Juelin? Why are you here at this time?"
Jue Lin came over after closing the door, sat down on an armchair not far from her, and said, "I went to the Xiao Mansion after I went to court, and met my father-in-law and mother-in-law." He looked at her without blinking, trying to read something from her face.
Mu Jinxi was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "You said you went to Xiao's mansion to meet my parents?"
If Jue Lin went to the Xiao Mansion and met his parents, wouldn't his identity be exposed?Didn't parents know that he was the white-eyed wolf back then?
Mu Jinxi guessed in her heart, but asked calmly on her face: "Then what? What did my parents tell you?"
Jue Lin lowered his gaze, and didn't answer her right away, as if he was thinking about how to speak, Mu Jinxi didn't urge him, and probably guessed in his heart why he came to Fang Rong Pavilion to find her.
Now that he has met his parents, his identity cannot be hidden. It must have been exposed. If his parents know it, it is impossible for him to hide it from her, unless he has the ability to hide it from her in a short time. He got his parents' forgiveness within a short period of time, and persuaded his parents to help him hide it, but is this possible?Impossible, it's the best result if dad didn't kill him, right?
Anyone who has a little brain in Jue Lin should come to her after this and confess to her. It is better than being told the truth after she returns home, so she believes that Jue Lin came here now to confess to her.
Well, it's really rare. She has been waiting for so long. If he hadn't gone to see his parents, he would have waited until after the wedding to tell her the truth, right?In fact, she was quite looking forward to Juelin telling her the truth after her wedding, because then she would be able to learn more about Juelin!Now, she might have to change her plan and think about how to "revenge" Jue Lin...
Jue Lin remained silent, and Mu Jinxi was thinking about her own affairs. No one spoke, and no one thought there was any problem. I don't know how long it took before Mu Jinxi came back to her senses, but Jue Lin was still hanging down. Eyes do not speak.
Mu Jinxi couldn't help asking: "Jue Lin? What are you thinking? Did you hear what I asked you? What did my parents tell you? Did they praise your future son-in-law for being very good and wish you could marry me right away? To the palace?" She joked.
But Juelin couldn't laugh at all. How could he praise him? He just scolded him bloody, not to mention wishing to marry her to the palace immediately. My father-in-law wanted to go back on his marriage. If it weren't for the fact that the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, he dared to guarantee that his father-in-law would really cancel the marriage. It would take a lot of time for him to get their forgiveness again before they could get married smoothly.
"I..." Jue Lin raised his head and opened his mouth, but he couldn't get out the words, which was very contradictory.
But when he raised his head like this, Mu Jinxi, who had been staring at him, noticed something was wrong. She exclaimed, got up and walked over, and asked, "What's wrong with your face? You hurt it? What? What happened at that time? Why are you so careless, your face looks so good, it would be terrible if it was disfigured. "
Mu Jinxi held Jue Lin's face and looked left and right, staring at the wound on his cheek, and looked carefully for a while, making sure that the wound was small and not serious, and that the medicine had already been applied before she felt relieved and looked at him , Wait for him to explain to her clearly what's going on.
Seeing the concern in her eyes, Jue Lin's heart warmed up, and he said softly: "It's okay, it's just that I got scratched accidentally, I've already applied the medicine, and those medicines are the best, as long as you rub it for a long time It'll be all right soon."
"It's good if it's really like this. If you are disfigured, I will despise you." Mu Jinxi said half-truthfully.
Jue Lin was a little dumbfounded, did she think she was with him because of his face?
Seeing Jue Lin's expression, Mu Jinxi didn't feel ashamed, instead she said plausibly: "What's the matter? Everyone likes beautiful things, and I'm no exception! If you were an ugly monster, I would definitely not look at them. Come on you, beautiful things are pleasing to the eye, and your mood will improve. On the contrary, when you see ugly things, your mood will become worse. I don’t want to be depressed every day.”
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is right, I will protect my face in the future, not for others, but for you, is that okay?" Jue Lin said helplessly, a little dotingly.
Mu Jinxi snorted softly and said: "It's almost the same, well, tell me, what happened when you went to Xiao's mansion, and made you come here in such a hurry at this time."
Speaking of this, Jue Lin's complexion that had softened just now suddenly darkened again, and his eyes could not help but dodge for a while, not daring to meet her bright and trusting almond eyes, he hesitated for a long time before letting go and said, "Jin Son, I have something to hide from you, you should calm down after listening to me, can you listen to my explanation and then get angry?"
Mu Jinxi smiled inwardly, but pretended to be puzzled on her face. She looked at Jue Lin for a while before she nodded and said, "Okay, tell me, I'm not angry."
Jue Lin took a deep breath and opened his mouth, but found that his throat was a little tight, and his voice was a little dry, "I, I... Do you still remember that a few years ago, your father and your elder brother rescued a man from the mountain? boy?"
Mu Jinxi was startled, and then said: "I remember, what's wrong?" After speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, and exclaimed, "Could it be that my parents told you about this?"
If Jue Lin dared to meet her eyes right now, he would definitely see the sly gleam in her eyes, like a fox, with eyeballs rolling around, clearly showing the mentality of watching a show.
Jue Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, a trace of guilt and embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and said, "Yes, you told me everything, do you still remember what that boy was like?"
Mu Jinxi shook her head honestly and said: "I don't remember. I had a serious illness the year before last and almost died. After I recovered, I forgot a lot of things, especially about that boy. If I hadn't forgotten, I've found him a long time ago and asked him what his heart is made of." After speaking, he gave a wry smile.
After hearing her words, Jue Lin's heart ached, bitter and astringent.After a moment of silence, she suddenly raised her head and looked straight at her and said, "Jin'er, look at me, look at me carefully, you really don't have any impression, you don't think I'm familiar?"
Mu Jinxi blinked her eyes, tilted her head, and stared at him obediently, but her heart was full of laughter. Seeing Jue Lin's nervous and apprehensive appearance was really interesting.
Then watching, she slowly frowned, as if a little suspicious, but also a little unbelievable, she shook her head for a while, and surprise flashed in her eyes for a while, making Jue Lin's heart follow her face His expression fluctuated, ups and downs.
I don't know how long it took before Mu Jinxi looked at Juelin in surprise, "You, you are, you are that..."
Jue Lin closed his eyes and said with a bit of pain: "Jin'er, it's me. I was the white-eyed wolf who was rescued by your father and elder brother, and then took away your innocence afterwards!"
Mu Jinxi's complexion turned pale, and she took a few steps back in disbelief. She didn't stop until she leaned against the cold cabinet next to the wall behind her. Her almond eyes opened wide, and pain flashed across her eyes. She looked at Jue Lin's gaze made Jue Lin's heart tremble, and he stood up involuntarily, looking at her sadly.
"You, what are you talking about? You said you were that boy, you were the one who disappeared after taking away my innocence? It's impossible, you can't be that person, that person, that person is not you , definitely not you! Jue Lin, did you make a mistake?" Mu Jinxi said while shaking her head and biting her lip.
Seeing her pale face after being greatly shocked, Jue Lin felt a tear in his heart, but he had to say: "Jin'er, it's really me, I don't need to lie to you, don't you think Xiaobao looks a lot like me? Is it? It's not because we have a good relationship and get close, but because we are father and son!"
"I don't believe it, it's not true, it's not true, you lied to me!" Mu Jinxi suddenly became addicted to dramas, imitating how the heroine reacted when she was cheated by the male lead when she was watching TV before, with a serious expression on her face. Sad and angry, with tears in his eyes.
"Jin'er, you said you would listen to my explanation before getting angry!" Jue Lin said anxiously.
Mu Jinxi covered her ears with her hands, shaking her head while shouting: "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen, you go, you go, you go now, I don't want to see you!"
After finishing speaking, when Jue Lin walked over, he pushed him out desperately, trying to push him out.
Jue Lin was naturally unwilling, but he didn't dare to resist with all his strength. After such a push, Jue Lin had to be forced out of the private room soon. If he couldn't react, the door of the private room was in front of him. His face closed with a "snap" forcefully, blocking Jue Lin's sight. The last thing he saw was a disappointed and sad face covered with tears.
(End of this chapter)
When Jue Lin heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. If he was willing to calm down and listen to his explanation, it meant that there was still room for things to turn around. It's okay, okay, as long as they are willing to listen, he is sure to calm them down, at least not When they saw him, they yelled to fight and kill him.
But... Jue Lin smiled wryly. He probably couldn't hide this matter from Jin'er, and he didn't know what kind of reaction she would have when she found out. Thinking of Jin'er's possible reaction, he felt a little faint on his forehead. It hurts.
"Juelin, tell me, we'll give you a chance to speak clearly for the sake of Xiaoxi and Xiaobao. You'd better be able to explain clearly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude and offending you The palace is here!" Master Xiao said in a deep voice, staring at Juelin sharply.
Jue Lin said with incomparable sincerity: "I have absolutely no pretense towards Xiao Xi and Xiao Bao, please believe in my intentions."
After talking, Jue Lin explained how the incident happened, why he was injured and passed out in Xiushui Village, why he did that to Jin Er after being rescued, and why he disappeared without a trace afterwards. , What happened after returning to the capital, and how I met Jin'er when I went to Taohua Town a few years later, all told them one by one.
Everyone frowned when they heard this, especially Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Xiao. Both of them were prime ministers and had been immersed in the court for many years. Their keen insight told them that there was absolutely nothing about Jue Lin being assassinated and injured. What he said now is so simple, maybe there is some conspiracy in it.
The old man Xiao, who knew Juelin's identity, thought more deeply, staring at Juelin suspiciously, wondering if someone in the court knew about Juelin's identity, that's why he had to go to the pass, no Ready to assassinate him at the slightest preparation, want to kill him and let him die in the pass?He must know the truth about this matter, but he didn't say it. Does this mean that he has scruples about the person who did this matter?
The people who can make Juelin feel scruples are nothing more than the emperor's princes, that is to say, does anyone among the princes know Juelin's identity?Does the emperor know about this?Should not know?If the emperor knew about it, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to be so calm.Which prince is that?
Old Mrs. Xiao was speculating in his heart.
After hearing Jue Lin's words, Mu Ankang was a little dazed. He didn't expect that there were so many things he didn't know. If Jue Lin really said so, then he is not such a jerk... But, why did he never Haven't gone back to find them?If he had the heart, he knew where they were, and it wouldn't be difficult to go back and find Xiao Xi to take responsibility, wouldn't it?
Thinking of this, Mu Ankang's face, which had just eased up a little bit, suddenly sank again, and he squinted at Jue Lin and asked sinisterly: "Since you are determined to be responsible, why didn't you go back to find Xiaoxi when the time came?"
Jue Lin sighed lightly, and admitted honestly: "This is because I didn't think carefully. At first, I just thought that I would go back to find you when I got better, but later I was delayed by some things, and it was not until the year before last. I found time to go to the pass again, and asked Lao Mo to go to Xiushui Village to find you, but..." Thinking of what happened to Lao Mo, Jue Lin didn't know how to speak.
"Just what?" Mu Ankang asked forcefully.
Juelin looked at him innocently and said, "It's just that when Lao Mo went there, he met Jin'er and asked her about it, but Jin'er said that you moved away, and also said that when something like that happened back then, then My family couldn't stay in Xiushui Village, I didn't know where they moved, and Lao Mo didn't think that Jin'er would lie to him, so I didn't continue to ask for proof. Check slowly."
"What? You sent the person who went to Xiushui Village to inquire about the news?" Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun exclaimed in unison.
Jue Lin nodded and said, "It's me."
Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun couldn't help grinding their teeth when they thought of the good things their daughter had done.This girl Xiao Xi is really a fool, she knew at that time that he was here to inquire about her, but in the end she tricked him and tricked him away!
Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun had forgotten what Mu Jinxi had said about this matter at the moment, but even if they remembered, they would think that she deliberately deceived people away. "Then what's going on with you, Xiaoxi, and Xiaobao?" Mu Ankang asked after sullen for a while.
Speaking of this, Jue Lin couldn't help showing a hint of pride and pride in being a father, and said: "Maybe it's because Xiaobao and I are biological father and son, and we have an unbroken blood relationship. The first time I saw Xiaobao, I immediately I feel a very strange feeling, I like him very much, I want to get close to him involuntarily, so does Xiaobao. Later I met Jiner, and I think Jiner is a good woman, I have also reached the age of marriage, and I like him very much Xiaobao, so I think that since this is the case, why don't I marry Jin'er, and we can be a family."
After a pause, Jue Lin explained again: "At that time, I didn't know the identities of Jin'er and Xiaobao, and you all know that I was in a coma when I was rescued by you, and I never really woke up. I, I have no impression of Jin'er's appearance, and Jin'er seems to be very different from a few years ago, and Jin'er told us that she is the person whose husband died, so I have no doubts. It was later I discovered the truth by chance after I came to the capital."
Mu Ankang looked at him with strange eyes and asked suspiciously: "You really didn't know Xiaoxi's identity back then, and you wanted to marry her willingly? Even if she has a son?"
Xiao Nianxun also looked at Jue Lin with burning eyes, wanting to see if he was telling the truth or not.
Regarding this point, Juelin has absolutely a clear conscience, and said frankly: "Yes, because I think Jin'er is a good woman. Although she has a son and her life is not good, she doesn't complain about others and feel sorry for herself. Self-pity, on the contrary, is to work hard, live hard, and strive for a better life for myself and my family. I admired her character at that time. I also like Xiaobao very much. I think that if we get married, let Xiaobao be me It's not a bad thing for her son. As for Jin'er's past, I don't think it's important, everyone has their own past, there's no need to dwell on it, the future is what matters."
It would be impossible for Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun to say that their hearts were not shaken when they heard Jue Lin's words.only…….
"Since you already knew the identities of Jin'er and Xiaobao, why didn't you tell the truth, but chose to hide it? What's your intention?" Mu Ankang asked aggressively.
"Father-in-law, I have no choice. I really want to marry Jin'er, but if Jin'er knew about it at that time, would she still be able to marry me? You also know Jin'er's temperament. I have misunderstood this matter, so I am afraid it will not be so easy for me to marry her. I can wait, but Xiaobao can’t wait! I thought for a long time before deciding to hide it from Xi’er, thinking that I would wait until I find a suitable one. If I have the opportunity to confess to Jin'er again, I never thought of keeping it from her." Jue Lin said helplessly.
Everyone's complexions were a little weird. Thinking of Xiao Xi's character, if she had known that Jue Lin was the same person at the beginning, she must have really refused to agree to the marriage. It can be seen from her attitude towards Mo Qingcang who went to inquire about the news. I got a glimpse of it, but, but this can't be the reason for Jue Lin to deceive everyone, right?
Jue Lin glanced at everyone and immediately guessed what everyone was thinking at this time, and hurriedly said: "I know this is wrong, and I never thought that if I explained it clearly, everyone would forgive me immediately, but I hope everyone can give me a chance, don't completely deny me because of the mistakes I have made, and deny my love for Jin'er and Xiaobao, I have absolutely no lie to their mother and child."
After finishing speaking, Jue Lin stood up, bowed his hands towards Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun, and said very sincerely: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I hope you can give me a chance, and in the days to come, let me prove that you will It is a right choice for Jin'er to marry me, and I will make Jin'er happy."
Neither Xiao Nianxun nor Mu Ankang spoke.
They listened to Jue Lin's explanation, and they understood that Jue Lin could not be entirely blamed. He was found in a coma and rescued by his subordinates and returned to the capital. He didn't wake up until he returned to the capital and fell into a coma again. After that, it took several months for his body to fully heal his injuries, but the injuries were healed, but the pursuit of the real culprit held him back, even if he had the intention to repay them at that time Also powerless, right?
If he brought Jin'er back to the capital, it was not because they underestimated his daughter, the former Xiaoxi would not have been able to survive in the capital. The former Xiaoxi had a soft personality, and there was no way for her to be with the current little Xi. Compared with Xiaoxi, if it wasn't for suffering too much, Xiaoxi would not have grown up like she is now.Now the time for her and Jue Lin to meet again seems to be just right.
Maybe this is really what God meant?
Before this, they always thought that Juelin was ungrateful, and after taking Xiaoxi's innocence, he slapped his ass and left. He didn't want to be responsible, so they hated him, but now it seems that this is not the case. It's not that he doesn't want to be responsible, he thought about taking Xiaoxi to the capital to enjoy the blessings, and he really sent someone to find them, but it was Xiaoxi who tricked them away.
Although Juelin came a few years late, at least it proved that he had a heart and was a responsible person.And it just so happens that he can still remember this incident a few years later, and he can still remember that he once betrayed others and wants to make up for it. Isn't it more proof that Juelin's character is indeed good?It would be the best if Xiaoxi could marry him. He is Xiaobao's biological father, the person Xiaoxi once loved deeply, and the person who has a close relationship with her. If the two can be together , is of course the best thing.
But, but...
Mu Ankang was very upset. Although he understood these truths, it was one thing to understand it, but another to accept it calmly!Whether Juelin is a good person and what he has done are two different things, they should not be confused!Is it because he now knows that he was wrong, and because he had a hard time when he made a mistake, so can the mistakes he made be written off?
How can this be!He refuses to accept it!He can't accept it!
So Mu Ankang listened to Jue Lin's words, and after knowing all the things, he remained calm and silent, showing his temper in front of everyone for the first time.
Compared to him, Xiao Nianxun is much better. Firstly, she is a woman, and women are easy to soften their hearts. Secondly, women's concept of chastity has deeply affected her view of Jue Lin.In her opinion, her daughter lost her life to Jue Lin, and she gave birth to a child, that is Jue Lin's person. According to common sense, no matter what kind of person Jue Lin is, she will follow Jue Lin. This is the best result.
If Juelin is a person who is ignorant and of poor character, then as parents, even if they raise her for the rest of their lives, they will not force her to marry such a person, but the problem is that Juelin is alone now. A person who is like a dragon in Zhongzhi is single-minded towards her, and does not dislike her because of her status, and still has the guilt in the past. After Xiaoxi marries him, as long as he manages well, the rest of his life will be absolutely worry-free!
Isn't this the best result?Is it better than Xiaoxi marrying someone else?Juelin was at fault, but his fault had not reached the point of being unforgivable and unforgivable, so they should give him a chance.It is better to teach people to beat children than to teach people to divide wives. The marriage between Xiaoxi and Jue Lin is already an established fact. They can't ruin Xiaoxi's happiness for the rest of her life just because of one breath, right?
Besides, isn't there still father and elder brother?Father and elder brother should know more about Juelin than they do. If they think Juelin is credible, then they are credible. The solution is good.
Thinking so, Xiao Nianxun turned his attention to his father and elder brother, and silently asked their opinions.
Old Mrs. Xiao frowned tightly, not knowing what he was thinking, Mr. Xiao also frowned slightly, no one said a word, the front hall became quiet again for a while, Jue Lin was not in a hurry, this is the best way When things got worse, he didn't dare to expect them to forgive him right away and accept him without any grievances.
After a while, Xiao Nianxun couldn't help asking: "Father, brother, what do you guys think about this matter? You should say something!"
Mu Ankang also set his sights on his father and elder brother. He knew that this matter must not be left to him to do whatever he wanted, and he still had to listen to what his father and elder brother wanted. Be clear.
The old man Xiao stroked his long beard, and said lightly: "Juelin, you should go back today! We need to discuss this matter carefully. It is really that you did something wrong. We are Xiaoxi's relatives. , can't just watch her being bullied and pretend nothing happened."
Juelin felt relieved, and didn't say anything, but stood up and said, "Since my grandfather said so, then Juelin will go back to the house first. This is what Juelin did wrong, but please believe my grandfather." Jue Lin, Jue Lin's heart for Jin'er is true, and Jue Lin will treat Jin'er well in the future, and will not let her be wronged or suffer."
Hearing Jue Lin call "grandfather", the corners of Mrs. Xiao's mouth twitched slightly, wanting to say something, I can't afford to be your grandfather!But seeing his daughter, son-in-law and son beside him, he swallowed his words and waved his hand to let Juelin go.
Jue Lin blessed the other three before resolutely turning around and striding away.
After Jue Lin left, the hall became quiet again. Xiao Nianxun was waiting to see what his father and elder brother had to say, while Mu Ankang was sulking all by himself, feeling uncomfortable and cheap to let Jue Lin go. He is gone!
"What do you two mean? After all, you two are Xiaoxi's parents. You should have the final say on her marriage. Your elder brother and I can only give some opinions." Old Master Xiao said slowly .
"Father, what are you talking about? Although we are Xiaoxi's parents, one of you and your elder brother is Xiaoxi's grandfather and the other is Xiaoxi's uncle. For the sake of her life-long event, you can also talk. The two of us are also I can't make up my mind. Now that the dowry has been paid and the wedding date is set, we are waiting for the big wedding. What can we do if such a thing happens? Moreover, this marriage was bestowed by the emperor, so there is no discussion There's room, isn't it?"
Xiao Nianxun didn't know if he was trying to convince himself or the silent husband beside him.
Old Master Xiao's eyes fell on Mu Ankang, and he asked seriously, "Ankang, what do you think?"
When asked by surprise, Mu Ankang couldn't react, blinked his eyes, and said with a stiff neck: "I don't think Juelin can be so cheap, even if the marriage is fixed, so what? Is it because the marriage is fixed, so we just talk about it?" Do you want to suffer this big loss? Although Juelin cannot be blamed for what happened at the beginning, in the final analysis, he is the one who made the mistake, right? If this is the case, we, wouldn’t we be looked down upon by others? Coveting the power of the palace and even refusing to seek justice for her own daughter who has suffered such a great grievance? How is this different from those who follow others?"
Master Xiao frowned, and it was the first time he agreed with the words of his sister-in-law, and said: "Ankang's words are also reasonable, no matter how you say it's the fault of Jue Lin, although he has difficulties, but he can't erase his past treatment of Xiaoxi. The damage caused by Xiaobao really can't just be ignored, Jue Lin must be taught a lesson."
Old Mrs. Xiao closed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, and then hummed softly for a while and said, "In this case, then do as you wish! But how do you want to teach Jue Lin a lesson? My lord, although we are engaged now, after all, we haven't got married yet. You are just future parents-in-law. Don't tell me you want to use your identities as parents-in-law to train Juelin before the wedding? If it spreads, the bad thing is Xiaoxi's reputation, others will only say that you don't know etiquette, you don't know how to measure, and you don't know what to say about Jue Lin."
"And don't you forget that what happened a few days ago has already been told in that way, and that's how it is in the eyes of others. If you make a fuss and spread the matter, it will change If Jue Lin is an ungrateful and unfeeling man, then you have slapped the emperor in the face? At the beginning, the emperor explained this matter clearly and won Xiaoxi a good reputation. If you make trouble now, then all this will be in vain , Xiaoxi and Xiaobao's reputation will also be affected, you guys, think about it clearly."
Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun were shocked at the same time, astonishment and worry flashed across their faces, and finally fell silent, especially Mu Ankang, who broke out in a cold sweat.
That's right, why did he forget about this matter? At the beginning, Xiaobao's identity was exposed, but finally the emperor explained it and justified Xiaoxi's name. Only then did Xiaoxi and Xiaobao escape the past without any danger , if it is reported that things are not like this now, wouldn't it be slapping the emperor in the face and making it difficult for the emperor to be a man?Xiaoxi's reputation would only get worse, and even Xiaobao might be hurt.
Although the emperor loves Jue Lin, but that is only limited to Jue Lin, right?What if the emperor becomes ashamed and angry and blames Xiao Xi?Wouldn't the rest of Xiao Xi's life be ruined?
No, no, absolutely not!Xiaoxi has finally come to where she is today, and she must not make a mistake.Jue Lin was at fault, he didn't want to let Jue Lin go just like that, but he never thought about letting Jue Lin and Xiaoxi's marriage fail!
"Father, we're not saying that we want to ruin the marriage between Jue Lin and Xiao Xi. Although I don't understand the truth, this marriage was bestowed by the emperor. I also know that we can't play tricks, and we can't do it. It's just that I just want to let Jue Lin has suffered a bit, otherwise, what is the hardship that Xiao Xi and Xiao Bao have suffered?" Mu Ankang was upset about this.
Xiao Nianxun also nodded and said: "Yes, Dad, the marriage is going to continue, but if it hasn't happened, it's as if nothing happened! This is really too cheap, and we can't let it go!"
Xiao Xi is also their darling, how can Jue Lin be bullied like this?She thought it would be nice for Jue Lin to be her son-in-law, but it was a different matter, and Jue Lin still had to learn the lesson he should have received!
"Well, since you all think that Juelin should suffer a little bit for this, let him suffer a little bit! There are many methods, and it doesn't have to be a method that hurts Xiaoxi and Xiaobao. Listen to me Yes, by the way, can you test Juelin to see how firm his heart is towards Xiaoxi!" Old Mrs. Xiao's eyes flashed a cunning light, full of calculations.
Master Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, wiped his forehead, and thought to himself that he thought his father was really so easy to talk, and he wanted to let Juelin go, so it turned out that this was the last trick.He just said, father dotes on Xiao Xi so much, how could he just let Jue Lin go.
Well, I don't know how father will punish Juelin?It can not only teach Jue Lin a lesson, but also make them vent their anger...
Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun's eyes lit up at the same time when they heard Mrs. Xiao's words, and they said in unison: "Please enlighten me."
Old Mrs. Xiao's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "If you want to teach Jue Lin a lesson, you have to start with his shortcomings."
After finishing speaking, Old Master Xiao closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun frowned, looked at each other, and saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Start with the shortcomings of Jue Lin?What is Juelin's weakness?
After thinking for a long time, the two still didn't come up with a reason, they could only look at the elder brother for help, Master Xiao coughed lightly and reminded in a low voice: "Xiao Xi."
Xiaoxi?
Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun didn't understand even more, and finally Mu Ankang came to his senses, slapped his thigh fiercely, and shouted happily: "I understand!"
After Mu Ankang realized it, a wicked light flashed in his eyes. Thinking about the future of Juelin, the breath in his heart finally subsided a little, his mood improved, and he even showed a smile on his face.
Only Xiao Nianxun hadn't turned around yet, seeing the happy and happy smiles on the faces of his eldest brother and his husband, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, what does it mean?Why is she the only one who doesn't understand?Could it be that I am even more stupid than my husband?
At that time, Mu Jinxi was still busy with goat milk in Fangrong Pavilion, and she didn't know anything about what happened in the mansion. If she knew, she would know what would happen.
Jue Lin became more distressed. After returning to the palace, he locked himself in the study to think about countermeasures, and also thought about the possible reactions of the people in Xiao's mansion. Judging from the situation just now, his father-in-law probably didn't treat him well. The method is so easy to forgive, but the mother-in-law is more talkative, and the latter can pretend to be pitiful in front of the mother-in-law?No, no, how could his majestic little prince Juelin do such a small trick?Disgraceful.
It's just that my wife is about to be unable to marry, and my son is about to lose, so I don't care about the shame. The mother-in-law is a woman, and she has a soft heart, so she has to do it. The father-in-law is not easy to deal with. He Just now, he lost control and slapped himself.This was the first time in my life that someone slapped me.
Jue Lin touched his cheek and found a pain. He quickly took a mirror and looked at it, and saw a scar on the lower part of the cheek near the neck, which was slightly red and even oozing a little blood.He frowned, guessing it was caused by his father-in-law. At that time, he only felt a pain, but he didn't pay much attention. He didn't expect to be really injured. Fortunately, he didn't see his grandmother when he came back, otherwise he wouldn't know Grandma will be shocked, and she will have to explain it again if she asks.
After looking at it for a while, Jue Lin dug out the high-quality golden sore medicine in the study, wiped it on carefully before giving up, and sat back on the chair to worry about it. Then he thought of another more important question, and immediately Jumped up from the chair.
Too bad, if Jin'er went back and they told Jin'er about the matter, wouldn't Jin'er be going to explode?
Thinking of this, Jue Lin couldn't help panicking, walking back and forth in the study room, frowning tightly, eyes full of worry and uneasiness.He really hadn't been afraid of anything, but as long as he thought that Jin'er might get angry because of this incident, and thus hate himself, avoid him, or simply regret the marriage and not want to get married, he would be extremely flustered And fear, feeling like I'm about to lose something very important.
This made him unable to sit still, his handsome face was full of worry, and finally he stood in front of the window and looked at the bare tree branches outside the window, in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, and it took a long time before Pursing her lips, as if she had made a decision, she strode out of the study, left the palace and went straight to Fangrong Pavilion.
He knows that Jin'er is busy in Fangrong Pavilion today, if Jin'er is still in Fangrong Pavilion at this moment, then he will confess to Jin'er, if Jin'er is not in Fangrong Pavilion, then he, then he will resign himself to fate!The parents-in-law and the others can tell Jin'er whatever they want, no matter what the result will be, he will admit it!
When Juelin arrived at Fangrong Pavilion, he asked, and the people in Fangrong Pavilion said that their boss was on the third floor at this time. Hearing this, Juelin didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief or worry about his situation later. up.
After taking a deep breath, Jue Lin went up to the third floor familiarly, and went straight to the so-called office. After hesitating for a while, he reached out and knocked on the door.
Mu Jinxi was thinking about something in the private room, when she heard someone knock on the door, she thought it was Qiu Ju, so she replied, "Come in."
But after the people outside came in, she looked at him in surprise and asked, "Juelin? Why are you here at this time?"
Jue Lin came over after closing the door, sat down on an armchair not far from her, and said, "I went to the Xiao Mansion after I went to court, and met my father-in-law and mother-in-law." He looked at her without blinking, trying to read something from her face.
Mu Jinxi was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "You said you went to Xiao's mansion to meet my parents?"
If Jue Lin went to the Xiao Mansion and met his parents, wouldn't his identity be exposed?Didn't parents know that he was the white-eyed wolf back then?
Mu Jinxi guessed in her heart, but asked calmly on her face: "Then what? What did my parents tell you?"
Jue Lin lowered his gaze, and didn't answer her right away, as if he was thinking about how to speak, Mu Jinxi didn't urge him, and probably guessed in his heart why he came to Fang Rong Pavilion to find her.
Now that he has met his parents, his identity cannot be hidden. It must have been exposed. If his parents know it, it is impossible for him to hide it from her, unless he has the ability to hide it from her in a short time. He got his parents' forgiveness within a short period of time, and persuaded his parents to help him hide it, but is this possible?Impossible, it's the best result if dad didn't kill him, right?
Anyone who has a little brain in Jue Lin should come to her after this and confess to her. It is better than being told the truth after she returns home, so she believes that Jue Lin came here now to confess to her.
Well, it's really rare. She has been waiting for so long. If he hadn't gone to see his parents, he would have waited until after the wedding to tell her the truth, right?In fact, she was quite looking forward to Juelin telling her the truth after her wedding, because then she would be able to learn more about Juelin!Now, she might have to change her plan and think about how to "revenge" Jue Lin...
Jue Lin remained silent, and Mu Jinxi was thinking about her own affairs. No one spoke, and no one thought there was any problem. I don't know how long it took before Mu Jinxi came back to her senses, but Jue Lin was still hanging down. Eyes do not speak.
Mu Jinxi couldn't help asking: "Jue Lin? What are you thinking? Did you hear what I asked you? What did my parents tell you? Did they praise your future son-in-law for being very good and wish you could marry me right away? To the palace?" She joked.
But Juelin couldn't laugh at all. How could he praise him? He just scolded him bloody, not to mention wishing to marry her to the palace immediately. My father-in-law wanted to go back on his marriage. If it weren't for the fact that the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, he dared to guarantee that his father-in-law would really cancel the marriage. It would take a lot of time for him to get their forgiveness again before they could get married smoothly.
"I..." Jue Lin raised his head and opened his mouth, but he couldn't get out the words, which was very contradictory.
But when he raised his head like this, Mu Jinxi, who had been staring at him, noticed something was wrong. She exclaimed, got up and walked over, and asked, "What's wrong with your face? You hurt it? What? What happened at that time? Why are you so careless, your face looks so good, it would be terrible if it was disfigured. "
Mu Jinxi held Jue Lin's face and looked left and right, staring at the wound on his cheek, and looked carefully for a while, making sure that the wound was small and not serious, and that the medicine had already been applied before she felt relieved and looked at him , Wait for him to explain to her clearly what's going on.
Seeing the concern in her eyes, Jue Lin's heart warmed up, and he said softly: "It's okay, it's just that I got scratched accidentally, I've already applied the medicine, and those medicines are the best, as long as you rub it for a long time It'll be all right soon."
"It's good if it's really like this. If you are disfigured, I will despise you." Mu Jinxi said half-truthfully.
Jue Lin was a little dumbfounded, did she think she was with him because of his face?
Seeing Jue Lin's expression, Mu Jinxi didn't feel ashamed, instead she said plausibly: "What's the matter? Everyone likes beautiful things, and I'm no exception! If you were an ugly monster, I would definitely not look at them. Come on you, beautiful things are pleasing to the eye, and your mood will improve. On the contrary, when you see ugly things, your mood will become worse. I don’t want to be depressed every day.”
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is right, I will protect my face in the future, not for others, but for you, is that okay?" Jue Lin said helplessly, a little dotingly.
Mu Jinxi snorted softly and said: "It's almost the same, well, tell me, what happened when you went to Xiao's mansion, and made you come here in such a hurry at this time."
Speaking of this, Jue Lin's complexion that had softened just now suddenly darkened again, and his eyes could not help but dodge for a while, not daring to meet her bright and trusting almond eyes, he hesitated for a long time before letting go and said, "Jin Son, I have something to hide from you, you should calm down after listening to me, can you listen to my explanation and then get angry?"
Mu Jinxi smiled inwardly, but pretended to be puzzled on her face. She looked at Jue Lin for a while before she nodded and said, "Okay, tell me, I'm not angry."
Jue Lin took a deep breath and opened his mouth, but found that his throat was a little tight, and his voice was a little dry, "I, I... Do you still remember that a few years ago, your father and your elder brother rescued a man from the mountain? boy?"
Mu Jinxi was startled, and then said: "I remember, what's wrong?" After speaking, she seemed to have thought of something, and exclaimed, "Could it be that my parents told you about this?"
If Jue Lin dared to meet her eyes right now, he would definitely see the sly gleam in her eyes, like a fox, with eyeballs rolling around, clearly showing the mentality of watching a show.
Jue Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, a trace of guilt and embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and said, "Yes, you told me everything, do you still remember what that boy was like?"
Mu Jinxi shook her head honestly and said: "I don't remember. I had a serious illness the year before last and almost died. After I recovered, I forgot a lot of things, especially about that boy. If I hadn't forgotten, I've found him a long time ago and asked him what his heart is made of." After speaking, he gave a wry smile.
After hearing her words, Jue Lin's heart ached, bitter and astringent.After a moment of silence, she suddenly raised her head and looked straight at her and said, "Jin'er, look at me, look at me carefully, you really don't have any impression, you don't think I'm familiar?"
Mu Jinxi blinked her eyes, tilted her head, and stared at him obediently, but her heart was full of laughter. Seeing Jue Lin's nervous and apprehensive appearance was really interesting.
Then watching, she slowly frowned, as if a little suspicious, but also a little unbelievable, she shook her head for a while, and surprise flashed in her eyes for a while, making Jue Lin's heart follow her face His expression fluctuated, ups and downs.
I don't know how long it took before Mu Jinxi looked at Juelin in surprise, "You, you are, you are that..."
Jue Lin closed his eyes and said with a bit of pain: "Jin'er, it's me. I was the white-eyed wolf who was rescued by your father and elder brother, and then took away your innocence afterwards!"
Mu Jinxi's complexion turned pale, and she took a few steps back in disbelief. She didn't stop until she leaned against the cold cabinet next to the wall behind her. Her almond eyes opened wide, and pain flashed across her eyes. She looked at Jue Lin's gaze made Jue Lin's heart tremble, and he stood up involuntarily, looking at her sadly.
"You, what are you talking about? You said you were that boy, you were the one who disappeared after taking away my innocence? It's impossible, you can't be that person, that person, that person is not you , definitely not you! Jue Lin, did you make a mistake?" Mu Jinxi said while shaking her head and biting her lip.
Seeing her pale face after being greatly shocked, Jue Lin felt a tear in his heart, but he had to say: "Jin'er, it's really me, I don't need to lie to you, don't you think Xiaobao looks a lot like me? Is it? It's not because we have a good relationship and get close, but because we are father and son!"
"I don't believe it, it's not true, it's not true, you lied to me!" Mu Jinxi suddenly became addicted to dramas, imitating how the heroine reacted when she was cheated by the male lead when she was watching TV before, with a serious expression on her face. Sad and angry, with tears in his eyes.
"Jin'er, you said you would listen to my explanation before getting angry!" Jue Lin said anxiously.
Mu Jinxi covered her ears with her hands, shaking her head while shouting: "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen, you go, you go, you go now, I don't want to see you!"
After finishing speaking, when Jue Lin walked over, he pushed him out desperately, trying to push him out.
Jue Lin was naturally unwilling, but he didn't dare to resist with all his strength. After such a push, Jue Lin had to be forced out of the private room soon. If he couldn't react, the door of the private room was in front of him. His face closed with a "snap" forcefully, blocking Jue Lin's sight. The last thing he saw was a disappointed and sad face covered with tears.
