From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 817 Choose to leave
Squeezing out a smile is uglier than crying, Mei Xin said: "I'm fine, I'm not cold, let's go, Dad must be waiting in the palace."

She rushed out with a wave of the whip, and Mei Jinze was afraid that something would happen to her, so she quickly followed without saying a word.

After nightfall, Zongzheng Mingzhen returned home, just sat down and came over before he had time to change into Magnolia.Seeing that his face was exhausted and he lost a lot of weight recently, she took the food box in the maid's hand and said: "I heard that Shangguan Xinrou died, have you taken care of the funeral?"

Good deeds do not go out and evil deeds travel thousands of miles. This story has been spread throughout the capital today.

Standing up and receiving the food box, Zongzheng Mingzhen put it on the table by himself and opened it, saying, "Well, it's safe to go to the ground after doing a ritual ceremony, and it's all right. Mother, let's start packing things tomorrow, and sell everything that can be sold." , let’s put the ones that can’t be sold, and we’ll leave with Eldest Sister once the enthronement ceremony is over, and then… we won’t come back.”

Having been emperor after all, the Mei family doesn't care and is afraid of being used as a raft, and even more afraid of another turmoil in the finally peaceful situation.So, for the sake of everyone, stay away from it.

Because it wasn't decided like that or told her that way before, Bai Yulan was taken aback and said, "Not coming back? What about the ancestral hall and ancestral property?"

Impossible to sell it.

Depressed and indescribably sad, Zongzheng Mingzhen poured himself a bowl of pigeon soup and sat down and said: "The ancestral property cannot be sold, I will keep someone to watch, as for the ancestral hall, just take away the ancestral tablets."

He hadn't eaten for a day, his mouth was dry, and he felt better after drinking some hot soup to moisten his throat and warm his stomach.

Seeing that her son's brows were frowning, it seemed that something difficult had happened, Bai Yulan sat down on the teacher's chair next to her and said, "Son, did you go out today and meet Mei Xin and what did she say?"

Shaking his head to indicate no, Zongzheng Mingzhen put down the soup bowl in his hand and began to eat sullenly.

Seeing his frowning and unhappy, Bai Yulan pinched the handkerchief in her hand and said cautiously: "Since it's not, then what's the matter? Could it be that the emperor has gone back on his word and took back his title?"

It's unlikely, you must know that Mei Zhannan has always been a man who always promises what he promises, and will never go back on what he says.

Shaking his head again and saying no, Zongzheng Mingzhen swallowed the food in his mouth and said sullenly, "Neither of them, don't guess wildly. What about eldest sister, have you gone to bed so early?"

I am afraid that no one will believe it. Since the throne was passed on to Mei Zhannan, and since she returned home, she has been the same as before she was married, helping her mother with housework and embroidery every day, or teaching her two children Studying, living a leisurely and comfortable life, and after the dust of the throne was settled, she was obviously relaxed.

No longer trembling like walking on thin ice, no longer thinking about how to deal with the enemy, no longer thinking about how to subdue all parties, she closed the door and lived her own little life.

Seeing that he was obviously unwilling to say anything, Bai Yulan glared at him, and then replied angrily: "Early, it's been more than half an hour for dinner, who is coming back now like you. Let me ask you, you Tell me honestly, what do you really think about Mei Xin and the two children?"

It is said that the son is like the mother, but the son is not like her at all in character, like a dead husband, thinking too much, so that he will hesitate when it comes to emotional matters.

Of course, as a child of an aristocratic family and working in the palace, he always seeks to be safe in everything, and he has developed such a calm temperament over time.

Not wanting to mention it or say it, Zongzheng Mingzhen said "I didn't think much about it" and continued to eat.

Seeing him pretending to be dead again, Magnolia got angry, and cursed bitterly: "You child, are you trying to piss me off? Why are you the same as your father when he was young? I'm just like you How many times have I said it back and forth, if you like her and love her, you have to tell her boldly, and you have to tell her to let her know. If you don’t tell her, it’s hard for her to be a girl, so when will I see me? Two grandchildren?"

I'm so anxious, what is this for? The child is born, and the two of them like each other. Why do they have to leave? Why can't they get married.

"No, I haven't seen the two children since they are over half a year old. I have to go to the palace to see them tomorrow. After all, I am also their grandmother, so I can't just run away without giving a gift." I don't know. Yes, if you know it and don’t watch it, isn’t it going to make people’s spines poked, isn’t it hurting people’s hearts.

Speaking of the children, Zongzheng Mingzhen also wants to see them, and wants to hold them in his arms like that day, but Mei Xin doesn't love him, and he is not willing to regard this matter as a deal, an exchange condition.

Looking up at her and continuing to eat, Zongzheng Mingzhen didn't express any opinion at all, neither stopped her nor encouraged her to go, and let her talk to herself.

A fist hit the cotton without even hearing a sound, Bai Yulan was so angry that the fire in her heart rushed upwards: "If you don't say anything, I will take it as your agreement. I will enter the palace tomorrow morning and give the child Take everything you prepared. Zongzheng Mingzhen, don’t blame me for not reminding you that a man can bend and stretch. Don’t make mistakes in your relationship. Don’t be stubborn and hit the south wall. Mei Xin is a good girl. If you miss this There will be no such shop in the village, and when she falls in love with someone else and takes your child to marry someone else, I'll see where you cry."

Ugly girls don't have to worry about marrying, let alone Mei Xin is a real princess now, let alone two children, even if she has ten children, there are people vying to marry her.

Zongzheng Mingzhen was stunned by the hand holding the vegetables, but he still didn't speak, and it was only for a moment, after which he continued to eat as if he couldn't hear.

Seeing that he was not in pain or itching, the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, Bai Yulan was so angry that she was about to vomit blood.I can't tell him anymore, and besides, she couldn't help but hit someone, she got up and said: "Why did I give birth to you such a coward, I am so mad. Let me tell you, life is too short to meet someone you like. It's easy, just think about it."

After finishing speaking, he walked away.

As the door closed, Zongzheng Mingzhen stopped, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and leaned weakly on the back of the chair, he closed his eyes in pain.

It's not that he hasn't thought about it carefully, and he doesn't care what others say at all, but the life of the two of them is not wishful thinking, not an exchange of conditions, but willing.

He has lived in the loving home of his parents since he was a child. He hopes that he can also have the love of his parents.So, he wants to stay away.

"Master Hou, the water is ready, you can take a bath." Zi Chen knocked on the door and reported.

Hearing the sound and standing up, Zongzheng Mingzhen took off half of the jade pendant around his neck and went to take a bath.

It was a token of love he gave to Mei Xin, and it was also an ancestral item. It was the first time he took it off on his own initiative since he was wearing it since birth.
