Xiaoxiang County Lord

Chapter 69

"Zhixuan???" Li Buhui's voice came, interrupting Zhixuan's thoughts.

Zhixuan looked up, wiped away the tears on his face, stood up and turned around to leave.

"Zhixuan, wait a minute, I have something to tell you." Li Buhui said anxiously, speeding up his pace.

Zhixuan ignored him, walked straight ahead, and stopped at the edge of the pavilion.

"Zhixuan" Li Buhui stood in front of him: "I have something to tell you."

Zhixuan turned around without looking at him: "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Zhixuan, I'm your father, can't you treat me better?" Li Buhui said sadly, ever since Dong Xian passed away, he always treated him like this.

"As I said, I will only call you daddy in front of the Taijun. At other times, don't even think about it." Zhixuan's attitude was very cold.

"Zhixuan, after so many years, do you still hate me?"

"Hate you?" Zhixuan turned his head and glanced at him: "I promised my mother that I would not hate you."

"Zhixuan, why didn't you listen to my explanation of what happened back then?" Li Buhui said helplessly.

"Explain, okay, then tell me now, and I'll listen." Zhixuan said with his arms folded.

"Zhixuan, didn't daddy tell you that daddy was too busy to neglect your mother at first." Li Buhui explained.

"Busy?" Zhixuan smiled, "This is just your excuse. In your heart, our house is just an inn. To you, Mother and I are nothing. Mother just helps you tidy up when you are tired. I'm just a servant who cleans, and I'm nothing more than someone you use to show off to others."

"You..." A slap was slapped on Zhixuan's face, Li Buhui looked at Zhixuan's hateful eyes and regretted it.

Zhixuan looked at him and said: "Is what I said wrong? You are only busy with your affairs, what prefect or governor? Have you ever thought about me and my mother?"

"Aren't I doing all this for you and your mother to have a better life?" Li Buhui shouted loudly.

"For me, for mother, when you were a county magistrate, did mother despise you? Why didn't you say it was for your own ambition? If you become a magistrate, you will still want to be a bigger official. I don't know what Time is the first time, but mother, you have never cared about her, you don't know what she wants, you ignore her feelings for your so-called official business, do you know how many tears mother shed for you, you You know how many days and nights my mother has been looking forward to your return, but you have disappointed my mother again and again, and every time you come back, you will always buy a lot of clothes for your mother. I once knew that what mother wants is not those clothes, what she wants is your concern, and since you became an official, you have been away from home every day, mother can only live in that house, she married you, not That house." Zhixuan said these words in one breath, tears had already covered his face.

"I know I'm sorry for your mother, but I do everything for the good of you and your mother, and I'm also very sad about your mother's death." Li Buhui cried.

"Forget it, are you sad too?" Zhixuan stopped him: "My mother was already sick when I was 8 years old, but what about you, do you know, have you cared about her? How many letters did the housekeeper send you before your stepmother died, but have you returned? You haven’t, you still care about your official life, and you don’t care about your mother’s life or death.”

"Didn't I tell you that at that time, Dad had a big case to deal with, so he couldn't rush back. Didn't I come back as soon as I finished the case?" Li Buhui felt aggrieved Said.

"But mother is dead. What's the use of climbing higher, no matter how much money you earn, and no matter how good your reputation is among the people. Mother is gone, gone forever. You Even if you become the emperor, your mother will never come back." Zhixuan roared, venting the grievance in his heart.

"I admit that what I did was wrong, that's what official career is like, but I don't do everything with the common people as the..."

"Don't make excuses for yourself anymore. It's your own ambition that is at work. It's like this in any official career. My uncle is also an official, but he can take care of his family. He will take care of his aunt's feelings. And you , you won't, you won't take anyone into consideration, you're just a selfish person, you only have yourself in your heart, so now you can enjoy the glory and wealth you want by yourself." Zhixuan turned and left after speaking.

Li Buhui cried and knelt down, looked at Zhixuan's back, and couldn't help asking: "Did I really do something wrong? In order to serve the court and the people, I ignored my family, and I didn't even have Xiaoxian's last face." See, did I do all this wrong? Xiaoxian, did I really do something wrong? Didn’t I do all this for you to live a good life? I did all this for you, for This home?"
