Hexi

Chapter 250 Lies
Su Shou pursed her lips tightly and did not utter a word.

"Why didn't you answer? Didn't my father always stand high above me and never look at me? I'm the same as my mother. I'm nothing in your eyes. Don't you dare to answer such a mere question?"

Su Shou's cheeks were tense, and his fists were also clenched.

Right now, Su Wei is just a young girl who has just reached her age. She doesn't look as intimidating at all as he, a high-ranking official who has been in the officialdom for a long time, but she is so neither high-pitched nor impatient, and even has a flat and quiet tone, which seems to be silent in the dark night. The falling blizzard oppresses people's soul and body little by little.

"If you don't answer, then I'll answer it for you." Su Wei stopped in front of her, "You are guarding against me because of your mother."

Su Shou pursed his lips tightly.

"There is no precedent in our Su family that favors sons over daughters. It is strictly forbidden for women to learn lock skills from the hands of their fathers. Grandmother also repaired locks back then, and knew the structure of many kinds of locks. Even the grandparents never took this ancestral precept so seriously. You have no reason to waste energy on it. On the contrary, you already knew that the Xie family had plans, so you took your mother on guard, and at the same time, your daughter I am on the defensive—because girls are extroverts, I will marry after all, under the plan of the Xie family, and the possibility of me marrying into the Xie family is not completely impossible, so if I learn the skills of the Su family, Or, if I have the opportunity to get in touch with the essence of the Su family's ancestral business, I will become a hidden danger of the Su family. In order to prevent this hidden danger, I also become the target of your prevention. Am I right?"

Su Shou stared at her intently, and slowly put his clenched hands behind his back.

He thinks he has a heart defense that is difficult for ordinary people to break through, but Su Luo in front of him has a mature and meticulous thinking beyond his imagination. At that time, she was even more impossible to be underestimated, and she couldn't touch the depth of her heart--even Su Yan had never seen through her speculations.

He looked at her carefully, as if he had just met her today. Naturally, he knew her facial features by heart. She had a face very similar to her mother's, and he had never had a blurred memory of this face.

As a child, and a daughter he has never valued, what he should do at this moment is to immediately reprimand her for being rude, and to exercise his authority as a father, but at the same time another wish arose in his heart, ——He was actually curious about the new side she showed. This kind of curiosity originated from the last conversation. It was a seed. Became a seedling.

This seed overwhelmed his desire to exercise authority. Even though his hands behind his back were still clenched tightly, the words he spit out remained steady: "Who told you this? Mother Bao?"

"No, it was the 'Lan girl' that my father said in front of my mother's grave."

Su Shou's clasped hands pinched into each other's flesh: "You followed me!"

"If I say it was purely an accident, I don't know if my father will believe it?" Su Luo looked over calmly, "Whether you believe it or not, I have to say something next. In order to guard against Xie's family, my father has spent the past ten years. It's really painstaking. I really didn't understand. Since you don't like your mother and don't agree with this marriage, why didn't you explain and fight to your grandparents? Why didn't you unite the entire Su family to expose the conspiracy of the Xie family?

"Now I understand that you actually like your mother. You yearn to be a husband and wife with her in your heart. You never hated her at all. You remember all the details related to her, remember her beautiful qualities, and you also see her for Su. You have been alone for more than ten years, and you have never had another woman, not because you have never been tempted, but because you always have her in your heart, even if you have been tempted, it will not affect you at all—"

"Shut up!"

Su Shou sternly reprimanded, and because of his excitement, he put down his hands, his eyes flickered: "You are talking nonsense, these are just your wild guesses, where did you read some of them?" Is it a nonsensical idle book? To say such unrealistic nonsense! I am the eldest son of the Su family. Since I was sensible, I knew my responsibilities, and I knew that all my energy should be devoted to studying hard and working hard. In terms of family business, I must always take the revitalization of Tiangongfang, which is declining day by day, as my lifelong goal. Nothing can break my principles. How could I ignore the future of my family because of my children’s personal interests? Stupid behavior?!"

Because of too much force, he couldn't even maintain a stable posture, and his toes almost staggered forward.

Su Luo stared at him closely: "Then why did you do this? If you are really so stern and selfless, why didn't you tell your grandparents?"

"That's because the Su family didn't have enough foundation at the time, and I wanted to use the strength of the Xie family to gain a foothold in the court! You see, after your mother died, didn't I have a showdown with Xie Yun? At that time, I didn't need the Xie family anymore! If I had feelings for your mother, how could I have married another so soon? How could I have Brother Li again so soon?!"

Su Wei looked at him for a long time, then slowly shook her head: "Father said I was talking nonsense, in my opinion, father is."

Su Shou stared at her, swallowed, his throat rolling like a wheel.

"Father's lie has been told to me for more than ten years, and I believe it to be true?" Su Wei moved her steps, "If this is the case, why does father still care about the Xie family? Since you don't need the Xie family anymore, why just Arguing with uncles in private in the mourning hall? Instead of publicizing their despicable behavior?
"You take it as your mission to protect the family, why don't you think of a way to take revenge on the Xie family? But you always tolerate it, preferring to take precautions everywhere, rather than take quick countermeasures? If you didn't marry your mother because you were willing to become husband and wife with her, why did you Do you still want to hide the things about the Xie family from the second uncle, the others and all the Su family? You have been hiding it, don’t you want your mother’s heroic spirit to be in the Su family? "

Su Shou looked at her, the fire in his eyes was so obvious, but his voice was already unstable.

"You insist that I have feelings for her, what is your intention?!"

"I don't want to think of you as noble, but these are the facts. It's useless for you to deny it. And what makes me look down on you is that you use lies to trap yourself and your mother. You got what you like But because of your selfishness, you have imprisoned her for a lifetime. On the one hand, you can't let her go, and on the other hand, you guard her in every possible way, in order to prevent her from getting the Su family's skills, and in order to prevent yourself from falling into love. Confused, you snub her, alienate her, until the day she dies!—”
