Chapter 213 Zhang's melon-eating
Su Xing really couldn't understand why Ye Linghan kept it from him?
What on earth did Xia Yunxi ask for that she couldn't let him know?
He knew that he was just a commoner and had no right to know about these important court affairs, but he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
He and Ye Linghan have come to this point, can't he be told about this? What's more, he also contributed to this matter!
And this has nothing to do with what Ye Linghan said before, that he was not allowed to participate because he was afraid that he might be in danger.
After all, no matter how much Xia Yunxi asked, it had nothing to do with him...
What happened to Ling Han that night?
After all, do you still treat him as an outsider?
Su Xing didn't want to think so, as it would make him seem pretentious and unreasonable, but that was how everything seemed and he couldn't help but think so.
But then he remembered everything Ye Linghan had done for him. He even risked his own life to save him. Would he treat him as an outsider?
This is really too contradictory, and Su Xing was having a headache thinking about it.
No, he couldn't do what he did before, guessing things by himself and finding out that they were all misunderstandings.
If he made the same mistake again, he would be extremely stupid, and it would be too unfair to Ye Linghan.
Forget it, since Ye Linghan doesn't want him to get involved, then he should just stop caring about it.
Su Xing forced himself to put aside those messy thoughts and tried to find something else to divert his attention.
He hasn't seen his mother since he came back. Although Xiao Zhuzi has come to report the situation, he still has to go back to see her.
It just so happened that Ye Linghan entered the palace, and he had nothing to do in the palace.
When Su Xing returned to the Shangshu Mansion this time, his mood was completely different from last time.
The last time, I came back with the feeling of breaking up with Ye Linghan completely. I felt so sad and upset.
This time, just like a bride returning home, I felt happy and excited, but also a little shy.
It’s terrible, what is he thinking!
How could he, a grown man, be so disgusting that he actually thought of himself as a bride...
Su Xing was so disgusted by himself that he stood at the gate of Zhang's yard and scolded himself harshly before stepping in.
When Zhang heard the servant's report, she ignored the dissuasion and insisted on coming out to greet them. She walked very fast and did not show any sense of being a pregnant woman.
"Xing'er! My son!" When Zhang saw her son, she excitedly opened her arms and hugged Su Xing into her arms, crying: "You are finally back. I missed you so much!"
Su Xing's eyes welled up with tears the moment he saw Zhang. He and Zhang hugged each other tightly, his voice full of guilt: "I'm sorry, mother..."
His mother wanted to die because she felt guilty about being arrested, but if he explained the whole thing, his mother would worry about him, so he could only apologize in this way.
Zhang didn't know that Su Xing's apology had such a hidden meaning. She just thought that Su Xing felt guilty for not coming back to see her in time.
"Silly son, why are you being so distant with your mother?" Zhang patted Su Xing on the back and said caringly, "As long as you are well, your mother will be happy."
Su Xing felt even more guilty. Zhang was so good to him, and he didn't deserve such family love at all.
"Mom..." Su Xing couldn't control himself and cried like a baby in Zhang's arms.
Zhang was startled and quickly let go of her son, asking nervously, "What's wrong? Why are you crying again?"
Su Xing cried so hard that he couldn't speak at all.
Zhang suddenly thought of something and said more urgently, "Did the Regent bully you?"
Didn’t the master say that the Regent was very good to Su Xing? Did he lie to her?
This bastard! How dare you lie to her!
Seeing that Zhang was getting more and more emotional, Su Xing quickly stopped crying and explained, "No, mother misunderstood. The Regent did not bully me. He treated me...very well..."
Su Xing was a little reluctant to say the last sentence, after all, it was embarrassing.
These words made him feel like a bride returning home, reporting to her mother about her situation in her husband's family, etc.
Thanks to the embarrassment on Su Xing's face, Zhang, an experienced person, believed her son's words.
"Really?" Zhang suddenly seemed like a different person, with an excited look on her face: "Is the Regent really good to you?"
Su Xing was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in, but in order to reassure Zhang, he had to swallow his shame and nod: "Yes, it's true."
At this moment, with his eyes downcast and his face rosy, he looks just like a young wife who has just got married.
It was the first time that Zhang saw her son behave like this. After a brief moment of surprise, she actually found it very interesting.
She is not like other parents who would get angry, disgusted, or disappointed when they see their son like this.
Because she truly loved her son, she only saw the happiness on his face, which was more important to her than anything else.
Not only that, she instantly turned into a bystander and continued to ask relentlessly: "Then tell me, how did the Regent treat you well?"
Su Xing was stunned by the question. He stood there motionless, but the blush on his face became deeper and deeper.
Zhang liked seeing her son's helpless look more and more, it was really interesting.
At this time, she didn't feel sorry for her son, she just wanted to eat melon.
That was the regent that everyone feared, and yet he had a special liking for his son. How could she not be curious!
"Hurry up and tell me!" Zhang urged anxiously, but Su Xing still sat there stupidly without responding.
Seeing this, she pretended to change her expression: "Are you lying to me? Don't you want to make me worry..."
"No!" Su Xing didn't care about shame and could only bite the bullet and say, "The Regent is really good to me."
He carefully recalled their experiences together and said awkwardly: "The Regent personally applied medicine and bandaged my wounds every day. He would ask the kitchen to prepare my favorite meals three times a day. He would also ask people to search for fun things and send them to me in case I got bored. Even if I offended him, he would not mind. Although he was harsh in words, he never really punished me."
Speaking of this, Su Xing's heart gradually began to surge with endless waves. Before returning to the Shangshu Mansion, he still questioned Ye Linghan for treating him as an outsider because of Xia Yunxi's matter.
But when he recalled all of this, he realized how excessive his doubts were.
Ye Linghan was so good to him, yet he still didn't believe him?
He is so bad!
The more Zhang listened, the more excited she became. The corners of her mouth kept curling up and she couldn't suppress it.
What Su Xing said was countless times better than what she had originally imagined. The regent who was feared by everyone was actually so gentle and caring towards her son!
She was so happy, and at the same time, extremely proud.
As expected of her son, he could even take down someone like the Regent.
If possible, she really wants to see it with her own eyes...
"Son." Zhang didn't notice Su Xing's change of mood, thinking that he was just too shy to hang his head: "When can we ask the Regent to come to our house for dinner?"
Since she is the one who will spend her life with his son, she, as a mother, should also take a look.
Yes, that's right, she did it out of a mother's concern for her son, not for the sake of watching a show...
