The matter was thoroughly investigated and the dust settled.

The emperor asked: "Now that the child is back, what are your next plans?"

Xu Jingxi could not be allowed to wander outside all the time.

Fang Qingdai and Mr. Xie looked at Xu Jingxi at the same time: "Are you willing to go home with me?"

The two of them almost said the same thing. They didn't even expect that when they looked at each other, they could see the embarrassment in each other's eyes.

Fang Qingdai hated Xie Dizhi's situation in [-]. She hated him for being unable to control himself and for a moment letting the bad guys get his hands on her and having a child with someone else.

She had originally agreed to stay away from each other until we die, but now she realizes that it was a mistake. She doesn't know what kind of attitude she should use to face Xie Dizhi anymore.

Xie Dizhi pursed his thin lips and looked at Xu Jingxi: "My child, this choice is left to you. We all owe you. No matter who you choose, we will do our best to take care of you."

In private, Shen Ningning clenched her little hands into fists and quietly cheered: "Choose my second uncle, be my third brother, be my third brother~"

Listening to her soft little milky voice, Mo Lingwei couldn't help but laugh.

He looked sideways at Shen Ningning and said, "I don't think Xu Jingxi will choose anyone."

Sure enough, the next second after Mo Lingwei finished speaking, Xu Jingxi handed over to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, no one wants to choose."

Fang Qingdai and Xie Dizhi fell into astonishment at the same time.

The emperor frowned: "Xu Jingxi, you are talented, smart, and a good young man. If you return to a noble family, it will be of great benefit to your growth."

However, Xu Jingxi shook his head: "The common people have become accustomed to a life of dependence on grandpa."

With that said, he turned to Fang Qingdai and Xie Dizhi.

"If you really want to make it up to me, give it to Grandpa Xu. He has worked hard all his life and never left me behind in the most difficult times. He is the person I need to be grateful and caring for the most."

Fang Qingdai's eyes were red: "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you want."

Xie Dizhi looked a little gloomy, and Xie Suzhi patted him on the shoulder: "Give the child some time."

That's how he came here too.

Thinking about it this way, it's really strange. The Xie family has been in trouble since the third child, as if they were being targeted by someone. The children after the third child had a very bad life.

Xie Suzhi keenly noticed something was wrong, secretly noted it down, and waited for investigation.

After the incident was over, Shen Ningning was pulled by her father to thank her and then left the palace.

Mo Lingwei knew that she wanted to deal with the aftermath, so he did not keep her and sent Shen Ningning and the others outside the palace gate together.

After getting on the carriage, Shen Ningning looked at Xu Jingxi eagerly.

"Are you really not going to be my third brother? The family is in a good place now. My brother is calm and my second brother is a punching bag. All I need is a very good one like you to be my third brother!"

Xie Suzhi smiled and touched his daughter's head.

Xu Jingxi looked calm and had a warm smile.

"Actually, this choice is not up to me at all."

Shen Ningning tilted her head in confusion.

Xu Jingxi didn't say much. When they were sent to Grandpa Xu's village, he said goodbye and left.

Looking at his tall and tall figure like a green pine, Xie Suzhi sighed with a look in his eyes.

"Dad, what did he mean? Didn't the second uncle let him choose?"

"Xu Jingxi is still thinking about her parents." Xie Suzhi looked at his daughter and explained patiently.

It was never a question of who he wanted to choose. If it were that easy, he wouldn't be homeless back then.

But, how should his identity be announced to the world?How can I face those Liang Jiajun and people from all over the world if I follow Fang Qingdai?
General Liang's body is still cold. If the world knows that the children he raised are not his own, how will the world blame Fang Qingdai?
If Xie Dizhi is chosen, how can one explain whose son he is?

The Second Madam Xie had just been convicted and imprisoned, and was sentenced to divorce by the emperor. Now that he appeared, how would the world speculate about Xie Dizhi?
Xu Jingxi just thought too much. He thought about everyone's feelings but ignored his own.

Shen Ningning finally understood after hearing her father's explanation.

The round face looked a little lonely and gloomy.

"Xu Jingxi must also want to have a family." It's really hard to live without parents!
Xie Suzhi patted the little guy's hand: "Don't worry about the follow-up of this matter. Dad will go find your second uncle to discuss it."

Shen Ningning nodded.

After Xie Yuanjiu was executed, many people in the capital were in an uproar.

Everyone speculated on the reason, but they only heard that Xie Yuanjiu had offended the emperor and did something that was not allowed by heaven.

Even her mother, Mrs. Xie Er, was imprisoned for five years. Mr. Xie also asked for a paper and a letter of departure.

People in the capital speculated a lot.

Sure enough, many people think that now that Fang Qingdai is back, Mr. Xie must be looking for an opportunity to leave his wife and daughter behind and rekindle the warmth with his old love.

On this day, after having a secret conversation with Xie Suzhi, Mr. Xie mustered up the courage and asked someone to send a message to Fang Qingdai, hoping to meet her.

Under the drizzle of rain, the two came to the national temple again.

In the Zen room, it was extremely quiet. There was a square table between the two of them, and a piece of smoky sandalwood was lit on it.

The lingering smoke blurred the faces of Xie Dizhi and Fang Qingdai.

"...Qingdai," Xie Dizhi took the initiative to speak: "The truth of the matter is revealed. We have misunderstood for so many years. I invite you here today to discuss with you what to do with the two children in the future. Since they are my blood, I won’t ignore it, but it’s still up to you to decide everything.”

Fang Qingdai's expression looked much more haggard than in the past few days, and the two circles of black under her eyes were particularly obvious.

Xie Dizhi heard that she had been going to Grandpa Xu's house these days to chat and get along with Xu Jingxi. The child was very good, but unfortunately, she was not close to her at all and was unwilling to leave her.

Except for the gifts that Fang Qingdai brought that Grandpa Xu could use, he rejected all the rest for Xu Jingxi.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes in pain.

"Erlang," she called him by his past title: "Do you know why, after I was disheartened by you, I was still willing to give birth to the child?"

Xie Di looked at her closely with his thin eyes: "I don't know."

Fang Qingdai opened her eyes again: "Because I want to admit that when I left, I thought I had given up on you. But when I found out that I was pregnant, I suddenly had the absurd idea that giving birth to our child would not mean that I would not be completely with you." Lost contact."

At this point, she smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"The first few months after I went to Lionhead City, I lived a very painful life. On the one hand, I had a severe pregnancy reaction, and I had to hide it from the soldiers in the army so that they could not find out. On the other hand, I hated and needed you. How I wished you could be by my side at that time."

"We agreed to go to Lion's Head City together and expand the territory of Cangyun Kingdom to a hundred miles away. I remember these promises, but when I stood on Lion's Head City, I realized that it was you who made a mistake."

Xie Dizhi's thin eyes were red. He wanted to hold Fang Qingdai's hand, but she ducked back.

"I'm sorry." What he finally said could only be a feeble apology.

Fang Qingdai's tears came lightly. After nine years, she saw that the boy she loved in the past had also been tortured by time and lost his arrogant and arrogant youthful spirit.

She smiled bitterly and shook her head: "We all have a bad life, maybe this is our fate."

"But I have already made a decision about the two children. Erlang, I hope you can keep the secret for me. These two children are still Liang Shi's children to the outside world."

"Liang Shi was very good to me. He knew these two children were yours, but he still took good care of me and the children without any complaints. He is dead now, and I can't let him down."

When Xie Dizhi heard this, he was shocked. The rain curtain outside the window stirred up water vapor and stained his black temples. (End of chapter)
