The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 26 The Truth ([-])

Mr. Xie's question made Mrs. Xie's calm mood suddenly become excited again.

"It's not a rush, it's not a rush..."

Xie Daozhi couldn't believe what he heard.

"Mother, what did you say?"

"son!"

Old lady Xie sobbed: "This is a great favor he has given to us two, such a great favor!"

That day he came back from the Yamen and went into the study.

When she waited until midnight, no one came. Just when she was about to take a rest, he ordered her to go to the study.

In the study, a lamp is like a bean.

He stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, as if he had encountered some difficulty, his brows were furrowed, and there was no expression on his face.

She didn't dare to say anything, so she just helped him pour the cold tea and add a cup of hot tea.

He held the tea over, but he didn't take it. His eyes fell on her for a while, and then he said coldly: "I have already written the divorce letter. You can pack up and leave with your son."

The teacup in his hand was shattered on the floor.

She panicked, fell to her knees and cried: "What have I done wrong? Master wants to divorce me?"

He was sullen and silent, with a fierce look on his face.

She was anxious and didn't care about her shame. She picked up a piece of debris on the ground and stabbed her wrist.

He stopped him.

She saw his softness and her eyes widened, "If you want to divorce me, why don't you just let me die."

Four eyes facing each other.

For the first time, she didn't dodge.

a long time.

He patted her back and said, "The imperial court may want to touch me, but the Yan family may not be able to protect it."

"What?" She was stunned.

"Those who can leave, I will arrange for them to leave; those who cannot leave, that is their fate."

His voice was calm: "You take a piece of divorce paper and leave, and no one will make things difficult for you."

"I won't go, I won't go even if I die."

"Think about your son and his future."

What he said was always to the point.

"You are the most practical and calculating woman, why are you so confused now?"

"Master, why am I confused? I am..."

"Nothing matters."

He interrupted coldly.

"It's important for you to understand that your son is the only person you can rely on in the future."

"Then what should you do, what should the young masters do?"

"As a woman, stop meddling in men's business and just mind yourself."

He suddenly scolded him, his voice as harsh as before, but she could hear some tenderness in it.

She's going crazy.

"Why is this happening? Master, who did you offend?"

"You're a villain!"

His eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, "But no matter how many times I do it again, I will still scold him bloody."

"The master should not only think about himself, but also think about the people in the house."

She was so anxious that she could hardly speak at all.

"Why can't you just be patient? Leave a line with others and leave a line for yourself!"

"to beat?"

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again.

"You have been with me for two years. Am I the kind of person who can tolerate this?"

He wasn't, and he didn't care. He couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. After two years of sharing the same bed, she clearly felt his temperament.

He turned around slowly, his eyes dark.

"I deposited a sum of money at a bank in the capital. It's not much, only 2000 taels. You and your mother can save some money. It will be enough in the past few years. It depends on your luck later."

His conversation suddenly changed. "But if you want that child to have a great future, don't give him a good life. I can clearly see this child's character. He needs to stand up in adversity."

She felt like her heart was about to burst. She was in so much pain that she threw herself at him and hugged him desperately, regardless of her restraint.

"My lord, my lord!"

He didn't push away and called her full name softly.

"Yang Hui, I brought this temperament from my mother's womb. I can't change it, and I don't want to change it. What do you want to do with your life? Don't you just want to do whatever you want?"

"Master, everything is as it should be, but the road is dead. What do you want us to do?"

She complained, but her arms held her tighter.

What's wrong with this world?
Why are the good people always the ones who reach a dead end?
What about the bad guys?
"There is no chance of survival until the end of the road. Maybe my temperament has changed because of this?"

He smiled self-deprecatingly, then pushed her away gently.

"Go ahead, take the divorce letter and leave tomorrow."

She looked at him with tears in her eyes for a long time, but refused to move.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the emotions in his eyes were absorbed.

"Don't feel ashamed of me. One day when your son becomes powerful, remember to reach out and help my few incompetent little beasts. That's enough."

She wiped away her tears, turned around, walked to the desk, picked up the divorce note, and suddenly tore it into pieces.

"you……"

"When I enter your courtyard, I am nothing more than a small sedan chair, and the person who is brought in by a small sedan chair is just a concubine. If you are a lowly concubine, why do you need a letter of divorce?"

She looked up at him, catching the shock in his eyes unmistakably.

"Master, I will never be with another man again in this life. If you are safe and sound, and if there is room for our mother and son in the Yan family, leave a place by your bed for me."

He frowned, and his eyes became less clear, as if covered with a layer of moisture.

"If something really happens to you..."

She cried and couldn't continue, "Then...just think of it as a thought I left for myself."

If not, I wouldn't be able to live!
Life is too long. If you don’t even have any thoughts and no hope, how can you survive those hard days with no end in sight and those long sleepless nights!

On his arrogant face, he smiled tenderly and pityingly at her for the first time, and then said the last words he said to her in this life.

"No matter how smart he is, he is also very crazy."

She also replied with the last words she said to him in this life: "I learned that from you."

After saying that, she knelt down to salute him, and then walked into the heavy snow while crying.

The next day.

The thick red door of Yan Mansion closed with a bang, like a sharp knife, stabbing hard into her chest.

It hurts!
The emotions she had suppressed for a long time suddenly collapsed and she burst into tears.

Finally, she and her son were the only two people left in the vast world.

After saying the last word, the old lady stopped crying.

For her, recalling these things again, every scene was her yearning and guilt for him.

"This is the whole truth, which has been in my heart for 40 years."

Her voice sounded like she was drowning, gasping, "Son, he doesn't owe us, it's us who owe him. If we can't repay him, we won't be able to repay him for several lifetimes."

In the dead silence, Xie Daozhi found that his ears were ringing.

He couldn't hear any sounds around him. He only felt pain in his heart, which made his stomach convulse.

Someone was patting him on the shoulder. Xie Daozhi looked up and saw that it was the third child. The third child's eyes were full of worry and his mouth was opening and closing as he said something.

But he still couldn't hear clearly.

It's strange that although I can't hear anything, the two years of experience in the Yan family come to mind like a picture.

He scolded him for writing like a dog crawling...

He said whether he was standing or not, whether he was sitting or not...

He threw the article he wrote over his face...

He scolded his loving mother for being a loser and told him to get out if he didn't want to stay in the Yan family...

Xie Daozhi touched the corner of the table, forced himself to stand up, and stared at the old lady with bloodshot eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Why did you hide it from me for so long?"

"I...I have a chance to help him, I have a chance!"
