"Pawn? Of course it's impossible. Anyone who dares to accept your jade pendant will lose his life." Xie Mingan laughed.

He held the crescent jade pendant and looked at Xu Jingxi.

His eyes are deep.

“The whole capital recognizes this jade pendant, which is equivalent to the family emblem of the Xie family. Only the children of the Xie family have it. I have always wanted to ask, where did you get it?”

 Facing the profound meaning explored in Xie Mingan’s eyes.

Xu Jingxi was neither humble nor arrogant. He raised his head, with a pair of thin eyes, the breeze was bright and the moon was shining, and the frost and snow were clear.

 “Picked up.”

 Xie Mingan was stunned.

Xu Jingxi: "I found it when I was picking up rags."

 Xie Mingan:…

His face was livid: "How is that possible? Every time a piece of such precious jade is given out in the house, there is a record. A piece of crescent jade happened to be lost in our house. Therefore, the position of Xing San in Xie's house has always been empty. I'm afraid This is your piece.”

Xu Jingxi pursed her thin lips and smiled for the first time.

 His smile was slightly mocking.

“The Xie Mansion can even lose its legitimate daughter, let alone a piece of jade?”

 Xie Mingan was stunned and unable to refute.

He could only look at Xu Jingxi walking away with a solemn expression, his back as tall as a bamboo.

 Xie Mingan gritted his teeth and called out the secret guards.

He ordered: "Go and find out where Grandpa Xu picked up Xu Jingxi."

The secret guard nodded: "Second Young Master, you are suspicious..."

"Xu Jingxi is right. The Xie family went through a bad and gloomy period back then. I suspect that Xu Jingxi is also a member of our family." Xie Mingan looked at the end of the alley with a cold and handsome expression.

 He explained to the secret guard and left.

Xie Yuanjiu was hiding in the corner, covering her mouth, her heartbeat pounding.

 Xu Jingxi may be the child of the Xie family!

 When she heard this speculation, she was extremely shocked.

So I thought that Xu Jingxi was about the same age as her...

 Could it be!

Of course Xie Yuanjiu would not doubt that Xu Jingxi was her brother.

But I think Xu Jingxi is Fang Qingdai’s child!

Thinking of the emperor's smile and joke at the banquet just now.

 Xie Yuanjiu suddenly felt that this was very possible.

“It turns out that my father has been sorry to us for hiding such a shocking secret.” She gritted her teeth and her eyes turned red with hatred.

Since she was born, why did Mr. Xie ever think of her as his daughter?

I'm afraid, in his eyes, her existence has always been a shame!

 Okay, then she will be destroyed along with Fang Qingdai!

 General Liang’s widow? Ridiculous, she wanted everyone to know that Fang Qingdai had an affair with Mr. Xie long before she went to the border!

This return to Beijing must be for the purpose of rekindling an old relationship!

The rain was pouring and non-stop.

Not only did a group of birds drop droppings at the banquet, but they also trapped Fang Qingdai and Mr. Xie who were in the temple.

They both came here at the same time today.

 Because Fang Qingdai lit two ever-burning lanterns in the national temple for her parents who died young.

Every year when she couldn't come back, Mr. Xie would come quietly to help add money for sesame oil and entrust the abbot to recite sutras.

Today, the two of them were locked under the eaves of the Main Hall due to heavy rain.

There were only a few pedestrians, but now, two of them were standing on the left and one on the right, separated by the wide gate of the palace.

The temple is simple, with lush green trees and tranquility.

There is a faint scent of sandalwood in the hall, and the angry eyes of the four Vajras have been guarding the world for who knows how many days. The pounding rain splashed water vapor, widening the distance between the two.

Mr. Xie Erye looked at the rainy curtain with his steady black eyes, deep and speechless.

 Fang Qingdai was a little uncomfortable.

 The boy she sent to explore the road quickly ran back through the rain.

"General, the mountain road is slippery and muddy under the rain. I'm afraid it's not safe to go down the mountain at this time. Please wait a little longer. It will be better if the rain becomes lighter."

Fang Qingdai felt helpless and could only do this.

She looked at Mr. Xie from the corner of her eye and saw his entourage covering him with a thin cloak.

Compared to the year they parted, his profile has completely lost its youthful look, only remaining profound and cold.

Time has wiped out all the brightness in the eyes of the young man who was arrogant at the time.

 Listening to the sound of monks chanting sutras not far away, I smelled a similar ancient atmosphere.

Fang Qingdai's thoughts were in a trance, as if she had returned to nine years ago.

 After they fell in love, they went to the national temple to offer incense hand in hand.

It seems that such a heavy rain trapped two couples who had just finished offering incense under the eaves.

Fang Qingdai took Xie Dizhi's hand and asked coquettishly: "I just said in front of the Buddha that after we get married, if you treat me badly, let him punish you!"

Xie Di's sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, the reputation of the little God of War is at its peak. He is dressed in light and simple clothes, which makes him look extraordinary and handsome.

 “How could I fail you?”

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? It is sung in the opera that men are the most unlucky and change their minds easily. You have to marry me like your elder brother did to Sister Shen. You are not allowed to take concubines in the future. Otherwise, I will be with you." Buddha is angry, if you dare to bully me, be careful, hum!"

Looking at the delicate and bright look in Fang Qingdai's eyes, Xie Dizhi smiled brightly.

He raised three fingers and said solemnly: "Okay, I will never take a concubine."

“The Lord Buddha is on high, and the good believer Xie Dizhi swears here that if one day I fail Qing Dai, all my abilities will be wiped out and I will become a useless person. It will not be good..."

Before the word "death" could be spoken, Fang Qingdai covered her mouth.

Her eyes were red with anxiety: "What are you doing! You can't talk nonsense in front of the Buddha."

Xie Dizhi smiled and wiped away her tears: "I won't let you down, so I won't be afraid. Please supervise my every word and deed."

"Qingdai, I, Xie Di, will never let you down in this life."

Fang Qingdai hugged his waist, rested her head on her sweetheart's chest, and listened to his steady and strong heartbeat.

  Feeling extremely sweet.

 The laughter of the past seems to still be in my ears.

Now, nine years have passed, and they have stood outside the main hall again, but their appearance has changed.

Fang Qingdai's eyes were so sore that she raised her hand to rub her eyes.

 At this moment, a thin shawl covered her body.

Fang Qingdai opened her eyes and saw that it was Xie Dizhi who had taken his thin cloak.

 The moisture in her eyes quickly faded away, turning into a face of cold resistance and alienation.

“Xie Erye, what do you mean?”

"It's rainy and windy, and you are afraid of the cold. I leave this thin cloak to you." Xie Dizhi said, his eyes as clear as snow, without any distracting thoughts, only a touch of concern.

Before Fang Qingdai could refuse, he said: "I'm here, you may feel uncomfortable. I'm leaving. If you don't want the clothes, just give them to the abbot."

 Subsequently, he walked into the rain, and his attendants quickly held umbrellas to protect him.

Looking at Xie Dizhi's figure gradually disappearing, Fang Qingdai grabbed her thin shawl and was stunned in place for a moment.

 Her eyes turned red again.

The wind of early winter blew bleakly through the silence of the mountain. Someone's cries were muffled, and the rain clouds became a little darker.
