From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 478
I don't know if it's because the injury on his body is too painful or Mei Xin's steps are too light, or because he is immersed in his own thoughts, Mei Zhannan didn't notice her coming in at the first time.

Her heart was cut like a knife, but she didn't want her father to see her sad appearance. She turned her head and took a deep breath to calm down her sad emotions. She carried the medicine bowl and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

As the distance drew closer, Mei Zhannan finally raised his head, his eyes were relatively neither sad nor happy, and his eyes were as deep as a pool, and no one could see any emotion: "Stop!"

The voice was hoarse and dull, as if it had been roasted on a fire, it was a little harsh but not harsh, it was very deep.

With a shock in her heart, Mei Xin stopped, looking at her father's almost indifferent eyes, she felt uneasy for a while.Feeling timid, she tried her best to suppress the uneasiness in her heart, put the medicine bowl in her hand on the table, and then called out as usual: "Father!"

The voice was soft and calm, as usual, but Mei Zhannan frowned slightly for some reason.

Mei Zhannan didn't respond, looked up at her as if he didn't know her, and found that she had lost a lot of weight but her belly was slightly protruding. He straightened up with difficulty and said, "Tell me, where is my daughter? Who are you, catch me What is the purpose of the daughter pretending to be her?"

After hearing about her series of feats in the palace, he was puzzled, thinking that this was not something his daughter Mei Xin could do.He was very sure after hearing the crying complaints of his second brother and third sister-in-law when he came back, but now looking at her and listening to the familiar voice, he was a little uncertain.

Is she really his daughter?

Suddenly Mei Xin was stunned, her head was a little dazed, her mind was a little confused, she couldn't help thinking how much she had changed, that her father didn't even recognize her anymore.Not only did she not know her, but she also thought she was someone else pretending to be her. How would she respond?

Seeing Mei Xin's slow silence was full of astonishment, Mei Zhan Nanxin said with doubts: "You must have something to ask for by pretending to be my daughter, so you can just say it. No matter what it is, I will do my best, but absolutely You can’t hurt my daughter. If you dare to hurt her, I will make you die without a place to bury you.”

He has never done anything wrong in his life, and he has never been sorry to anyone, but he only owes his daughter Mei Xin.

Because of a marriage decree from the emperor, he had no choice but to welcome Shangguan Xinrou into the house, and because of the scheme of Shangguan's family, he had a child with her.I thought that she would live a good life with me for the sake of the child, but then I thought that she had the heart of a tiger to kill the child.

At the age of two, she didn't know how to call her father because no one taught her, but she quickly accepted him because of her father-daughter nature.Raised with one hand, loved in every possible way, but after all, it can't make up for the missing mother's love.Therefore, daughter Mei Xin tried every means to please Shangguan Xinrou and gave gifts every year, and he never said a word about Shangguan Xinrou all these years.

The second brother said that his daughter had stabbed this incident, he didn't believe it, but the facts were in front of him and he couldn't allow him not to believe it.Therefore, he thinks that the Mei Xin in front of him is not the real Mei Xin, but someone else's pretending.

The originally funny thing suddenly became very heavy because of his words, and Mei Xin felt that the air around her was condensed, extremely solemn.Moved in his heart, he opened his mouth and said: "Killing the king and rebelling, is daddy willing to do it for his daughter?"

After thinking about it on the way back, she was really fed up with the feeling of being stuck in the swamp with nowhere to go, and she was also tired of the emperor's unreasonable suspicion and the conspiracies and tricks in the capital.Suspicion had arisen and could not be dispelled, and the butcher's knife was hanging on her neck, pressing her every step of the way, she couldn't sit still and wait for death.What's more, it is better to fight to the death than to be slaughtered, even if it ends up with a whole family of people copying, chopping and shrouding the grass mat, she will recognize it.

With his eyes widened like copper bells, Mei Zhannan blurted out in shock, "Who are you and what is your purpose?"

King Ping has been abolished, and the crown prince has just returned to the capital. Could it be that he belongs to the third prince?
Even though she knew her father's loyalty and patriotism, Mei Xin was still a bit disappointed, but thinking about it, wasn't she the same in her previous life, not to mention she was even more foolish, loyal and filial.So, soon relieved.

Taking a deep breath, lifted up her dress and knelt down on her knees, Mei Xin looked up at Mei Zhannan who was sitting on the chair and said solemnly: "Father, I am not someone pretending, I am your daughter Mei Xin. I know that after I returned to Beijing, I did many amazing things, and I could even be said to be treasonous, but I am really Mei Xin who grew up by your side, and I am your daughter who has been carefully raised and regarded as a treasure."

Mei Zhannan's rebuttal was heard before the words fell, and he said sonorously and confidently: "You are lying, my daughter Mei Xin is gentle and kind, she is a straight person, she never knows what the word conspiracy is, let alone her mother-in-law Such a ruthless hand. Even if she saw the scandal of her own mother and King Huai of Chu with her own eyes, she would never make a public announcement, let alone publicize it everywhere. She has been soft-hearted since she was a child, and she will never embarrass others except for killing the Tartars. , even if the servants stole her things, she has to be forgiving and never say anything. You are not her, and you are definitely not my daughter. "

When the excitement involved the wound, he gasped involuntarily.Covering the painful wound, he said again: "Tell me, what will you do to hand over my daughter?"

Mei Xin laughed, and suddenly felt like crying.Speechless, I don't know how to prove myself.

Seeing her smile, she thought she was right, she admitted, Mei Zhannan grabbed the armrest of the chair and said: "My Mei family has been loyal and good for generations, regicide and rebellion are not acceptable. Change to another, as long as I can do it..."

Mei Xin, who had been holding herself together all afternoon, couldn't take it anymore, especially when she thought of the emperor's indifference, selfishness and ruthlessness and the miserable fate of the Mei family in her previous life, she couldn't help it, and blurted out: "Why not? He is unkind, His son is not as good as an animal. He ruined your daughter’s innocence. Not to mention that now that he has a child, he forced your daughter to be a widow. Where is the benevolence? The Mei family has been loyal and good for generations, and almost all the sons of the Mei family died in battle, but how did he do it? How did he treat us?"

"He allowed his son to fight for power and balance the court, and let his son do evil and bully the Mei family. He is an honest man. I was plotted by his two sons, knocked out my teeth, and swallowed my blood. I endured it, retreated and retreated, but they stopped Pressing. Today in Huangjue Temple, the prince went berserk, not only threw himself on me, but also yelled that he wanted to divorce his wife, and said that I was pregnant with his child. The Qiu family is powerful, and he is undoubtedly forcing me to do this. Go to hell, force Qiu Mei and his family to fight each other to the death, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

It's not scaremongering, but after today's incident, Qiu Mei's family has become sworn enemies, and Qiu Yuwei will never let it go.
