Xie Changgeng rushed back to the city, and it was already late at night. The manager was not asleep yet and was waiting anxiously in front of him. When he learned that he had returned, he hurried out to greet him and told him what happened. Xie Changgeng ordered people to take food, bring them, and came to the courtyard where his mother lived, and pushed the door open and entered.

Xie's mother lay inwardly on the bed, motionless.

Qi Lingfeng was kneeling in front of the bed with Qiu Ju, her eyes were red and swollen, begging Xie’s mother for food. When she saw Xie Changgeng appear, she covered her face and cried: “Sir, I must have instigated the old lady to do this. Last night, I sincerely begged the old lady to recognize me as her adopted daughter. I didn’t want the old lady to get angry and insisted on refusing, and even this happened. If I had a lie, it would be thunder to death.”

Qiuju also kowtowed: "Sir, you don't know. The old lady said she was leaving overnight last night, but was persuaded by Mrs. Qi. She didn't want to get up early in the morning, and the old lady didn't eat anything and even drank water. The old lady is old and Mrs. Qi is afraid that she can't hold on, so she has been begging here for a whole day. No matter how she persuades her, the old lady doesn't listen."

Xie's mother moaned and said weakly: "I don't want to live anymore, don't bother me!"

Ah Mao was beside him, biting his fingers, widening his eyes, looking at a loss.

Xie Changgeng ordered everyone to go out, closed the door, walked to the bed with the porridge, and whispered to the old woman with her back to her, "Mom, get up, my son will serve you with food..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie's mother raised her hand and swept the bowl in his hand to the ground.

With a "slam", the bowl was broken and the porridge spilled all over the floor.

Xie Changgeng paused.

"Mom, my son is unfilial. If you make you angry, just beat me and scold me. Don't be angry."

Xie's mother sat up tremblingly and said angrily: "You know you are unfilial? Do you still have me in your eyes? You are afraid that I would rather die sooner than bother you!"

Xie Changgeng knelt down: "Mom, my son has no intention. Mom, please calm down and eat first?"

Xie's mother lifted the quilt, crawled down from the bed, and said, "Forget it, I know that you are a military governor now, and your wings are hard, how dare I beat you and scold you? What's the use of having a son with great effort? Even if you don't want to follow my wishes, what's the point of living! I'll break myself so I won't get in the way of your eyes!" As she said that, she walked to the table, took out a pair of scissors from the sewing box, and pierced it into her neck.

Xie Changgeng hurriedly took it away.

Xie's mother pushed her son away and sat down on the ground.

"I am the only son like you. I have worked hard to raise you. What have you done since I was a child? But just such a small thing, I didn't force you to divorce that woman! You didn't like me and force me to die, what are you?"

Xie Changgeng said: "Qi himself agreed, saying that he would be his mother's goddaughter. Why do you have to ask your son to accept her?"

"You said! You have spoken like this. Can she still refuse to say that she is a daughter? Poor Feng'er, for so many years, she has been waiting for you, begging for the rest of the time, but in the end, you are so ungrateful! If I had known this, I would have let go when I ran into the water when I fled, I would have been unable to live. Now that Feng'er has lost her mother, she will never rely on her for the rest of her life! If I die in the future, what's the face to see Feng'er's mother?"

Xie's mother patted the ground with her hands while crying.

Xie Changgeng looked at the old mother sitting on the ground with her disheveled head and snot and tears, frowned, and after a while, he finally said, "Mom, get up first. Let your son consider this matter again."

For a long time, Xie's mother repeatedly promised in front of Qi Lingfeng that her son would listen to her and would bring her into the door sooner or later. Unexpectedly, this time, her son seemed to be determined to refuse. Xie's mother was extremely disappointed, but secondly, she was even more unwilling to lose face in front of Qi Lingfeng, so she was looking for death and forced her to fight with her life.

Xie's mother secretly glanced at her son.

Although my son let go, his face was not very good-looking. She was not stupid either, so naturally she could see that her son was reluctant to give in.

Over the years, he has become more and more powerful, and he has gained the imperial edict by his son and is extremely glorious in front of his neighbors.

Although Qi Lingfeng deserves love, he depends on his son after all. The old lady is very clear-headed. He finally gave in. He could save some face in front of Qi Lingfeng, so he didn't dare to force him anymore, for fear of really angering him and turning against him.

"You push it every day, when will it take to get things done?" Xie's mother complained.

Xie Changgeng let out a long sigh, patiently said, "My son has a lot of things recently, please forgive me. Son as soon as possible."

He helped his mother up from the ground.

"Mom, you've been hungry all day long, my son will serve you with food first."

Xie's mother wiped her tears and sat down.

"Geng'er, you won't blame your mother for forcing you, right? You are the only son, and everything is for you. The woman of Mu's looks like she is not a blessing or a good match for Geng'er. Feng'er knows the roots and the bottom line, and is steady and filial. Only with her care can you be at ease."

Xie Changgeng smiled and said, "Mom's kindness, my son understands."

After struggling all night, Xie's mother was already exhausted. Seeing that she finally forced her son to show up and gave in, she was still filial. She stopped when she got ready, ate some food, and lay down with a sigh.

Xie Changgeng took care of his mother and slept, came out of the room, stopped at the door, closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead, and let out a long breath.

The manager is still waiting outside.

The day after the old lady came, the lady left, and now she had a mess again. How could she not see the hidden inside? It was obvious that the house caught fire. I knew that the old lady had eaten and the people had stopped. I breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the Jiedushi's face was dark and there was a layer of bloodshot blood in his eyes, I didn't dare to say anything more. I just whispered: "Don't worry, Mrs., I have arranged for the old lady's daytime affairs to be opened to all the irrelevant servants in the mansion. Not many people know about it, so I will not spread it."

Xie Changgeng nodded and asked him to rest.

The manager responded and was about to leave, but he was called again. Seeing the Jiedushi stopping, as if he was thinking, he asked, "What are the instructions for him?"

"It's cold. Tomorrow you go to the warehouse and pick some high-quality clothes to play, as well as fire silkworm furs, pearl brocade tents, and night diary, and send them to the horse farm to the owner of the horse."

The treasures he mentioned are rare in the world and are unique. They were tributed by several small countries in the Western Regions in the past.

The manager was stunned and reacted, and he was busy.

Xie Changgeng nodded and turned around and left.

A few days later, he received a message from Liu An of Xiu Tushima City and went there in person.

Liu An reported to him, saying that the 60th birthday of the old native leader a few days ago, he brought the Jieduan's greetings and greetings to celebrate his birthday. Although he had not seen anyone, the other party collected something and asked someone to speak out and thanked the Jieduan, saying that he knew that the Jieduan was busy and did not dare to disturb him, so he asked him to rest assured that they would be wary of the people in the north and would not hand over the Mahe Valley.

This means that he politely rejected Xie Changgeng's proposal to meet, and he did not want Xie Changgeng to help participate in the defense of Mahe Valley, and he did not want to move.

Xie Changgeng frowned slightly, climbed up to the city tower, looked into the direction of the Mahe Valley in the distance, pondered for a moment, and said, "The power of the northern people changed. The new king took office a few months ago, and the weather became increasingly colder. They will be moved. You should strengthen your guard and not relax."

After Liu An got the order, Xie Changgeng finished his work and left the city and walked to the fork road. He went back to Guzang on the left and headed to the horse farm on the right.

He stopped, hesitated for a moment, and turned to the right path with his followers.

...

Mu Fulan sat in the room, taking advantage of the last bit of light during the day, looking at the table in the corner of the house. The treasure chest that Xie Changgeng sent to the supervisor here a few days ago, and was ecstatic for a long time.

The light in the room gradually darkened.

Another day is coming.

She glanced outside.

After Xie Changgeng left that day, these days, Xier had to ride a horse as soon as she finished her study homework.

Mu Fulan was worried about danger at first, and she was always staring at him. In the past two days, seeing that he was riding well and the pony was very docile and never sagged his hooves. In addition, there were two guards next to him who were always protecting him, so he felt relieved.

A few days ago, at this time, the guards had sent Xier back. I don’t know what happened today and haven’t returned yet.

She stood up and headed out before walking out of the inner room. She was stunned for a moment and stretched out her arms and hugged her.

She closed her eyes, turned around slowly, and met a pair of smiling men's eyes.

"When did you come?" she asked.

He didn't respond, he just lowered his head and kissed her cheeks and neck.

Mu Fulan turned her face.

"I'll go out and see when will Xier come back," she said.

Xie Changgeng hugged her tighter and whispered: "I have seen him just now. I have asked someone to take her to have dinner first."

After he said that, he picked her up, turned her into the inner room, placed it on the bed, untied the sword on his waist, placed it on the table, and pressed it down, staring at the twilight, the beautiful face on the pillow, gently stroked the back of his hand over her cheek.

"It's cold. Didn't I ask the manager to send you some things? Why don't you use it?"

Mu Fulan said, "You are here just in time. I'll get the heart and take the things back, I don't need them."

Xie Changgeng looked at her for a moment and whispered: "Mu, I know I'm wronged. If you stay here for a few more days, I will send my mother away."

Mu Fulan smiled: "Okay."

He hesitated. "Mu, there is something, I'll tell you."

He wanted to speak but stopped, as if he was worried.

Mu Fulan didn't say anything and kept looking at her with a smile.

"I'm about to accept Qi's family."

He finally said.

"It's not my opinion. You should be able to understand my difficulties." He immediately said again.

Mu Fulan stared at the face of the man in front of her.

In her previous life, the person next to her pillow also mentioned the same thing to her.

She thought coldly in her heart, but still smiled and said, "If you want to stay in the evening, I will ask someone to prepare meals for you."

She pushed him off her body, sat up, and tidied up her hair that had just been disorganized by him.

Xie Changgeng leaned on the pillow and looked at her back.

Mu Fulan tidied up her hair and climbed off the bed, but the man behind her held her wrist.

She threw herself on his chest.

"Are you angry?" He looked at her.

"Even if I accept Qi, I will let her serve my mother at home in the future, and it will be fine for you." He said.

Mu Fulan said: "How convenient you are, how you act. You don't have to tell me these things."

"Since that's the case, why don't you want something I asked someone to send?"

Mu Fulan sighed.

"Okay, okay, it's me that I was wrong and let your good intentions down. I'll take it out and use it now, okay?"
