Chapter 99 Xie Qiao, are you crazy?
Not long after lunch, Marquis Jing'an and his wife arrived at Mo'an Residence. Before they came, they asked Madam Xu to inform them.
Song Jin went back to Yuechuan Pavilion specifically to change her clothes.
After all, he was going to meet Marquis Jing'an, so he had to be more solemn.
Song Jin stood behind Xie Qiao, looking at her dress, and asked quietly, "Is this dress okay with me?"
There were some dresses in Yuechuan Pavilion that she had never worn, all in her size, which she did not take with her when she left last time.
Xie Qiao looked down at Song Jin.
The girl was wearing a well-behaved lavender dress embroidered with cute little orchids, and she looked very quiet.
It was something he had never seen before.
He was a little stunned.
It seemed that without him noticing, his Ah Jin had grown up a lot.
"This dress is very nice." Xie Qiao said sincerely.
Song Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
When he was about to say something, Fu Cang, who was guarding outside the yard, suddenly said, "My Lord, Madam."
Song Jin looked up and saw Marquis Jing'an and Madam Xie appear.
She followed Xie Qiao and walked forward, bowing respectfully: "Greetings to Lord Jing'an, and Madam Xie."
She heard Jing'an Hou say "hmm" indifferently, and then Mrs. Xie stepped forward and helped Song Jin up with her own hands: "Why are you so unfamiliar, Xiaojin? Get up quickly, get up quickly. You have to take care of Xie Qiao during this period of time."
She glared at Jing'an Hou who was standing blankly behind her and said, "Say something."
Jing'an Hou: "Madam is right."
Song Jin did not dare to take credit for it.
After all, Xie Qiao was injured because of her.
She quickly said, "No, no, it's all what I should do."
Song Jin then raised her head and glanced at Jing'an Hou who was standing in front of her.
As luck would have it, she happened to run into Jing'an Hou who was also looking at her.
She quickly smiled at Jing'an Hou, nodded slightly, and said generously: "Hello, Jing'an Hou."
I saw that Marquis Jing'an looked somewhat similar to Xie Qiao. Because he had been stationed at the border for many years, Marquis Jing'an had the aura of a military general, which was very different from Xie Qiao, who was a purely civil official.
If there is any resemblance, it is Xie Qiao's younger brother Xie Zheng who looks more like Jing'an Hou.
Jing'an Hou was also looking at the girl in front of him.
As soon as he came back, he heard about this girl. Just now, his wife also told him about the relationship between this girl and Xie Qiao, as well as Xie Qiao's thoughts.
He knew that his wife liked Song Jin very much. Although he was quiet, he always listened to his wife.
But I'm still a little worried that they might be deceived by someone with ulterior motives.
But when he saw this little girl, all his worries disappeared. He had been fighting for many years and could see that this little girl had pure eyes and no evil intentions.
Now when I look him in the eye, I can still call him by the hand without being servile or arrogant.
He is not someone who is not worthy of being in a refined position.
Jing'an Hou silently agreed to the marriage in her heart.
But he knew that the girl had not yet agreed to Xie Qiao, so he could only pretend not to know.
"Yeah." He replied to Song Jin calmly: "I heard that you opened a pastry shop in Kyoto?"
Song Jin agreed generously: "Yes, if the Marquis likes to eat cakes, I will make them for you to try."
"No need to bother." Madam Xie stepped forward to stop them. "You still have some cakes that you sent to me before. I'll give them to him when I get back to taste. He's a warrior, how can he tell whether something is delicious or not?"
Marquis Jing'an listened to Mrs. Xie teasing him without refutation.
He just responded, "Madam is right."
Song Jin stood there in a daze.
Xie Qiao had told her before that although Jing'an Marquis was a man of few words, he also had few things to do.
But she had never thought that Marquis Jing'an was a warrior who could only nod and say "yes, yes, yes" to his lady.
Song Jin blinked and said, "Okay, when your brother's injury is healed, I will make some more for the Marquis and his wife."
Jing'an Hou nodded. He was a little embarrassed and turned to look at Xie Qiao: "How is your injury?"
Xie Qiao was still as cold as ever: "It's all right now, father, don't worry."
Jing'an Hou: "It's good as long as there is no problem."
After Jing'an Hou finished speaking, the two of them fell silent again, with nothing else to say.
Madam Xie was no longer surprised. She skillfully resolved the situation and said to Xie Qiao, "Well, we have seen it all. We will not disturb you while you recover from your injuries. Let's go back first."
Xie Qiao had no intention of staying: "Okay, take care, father and mother."
Song Jin also followed suit and saluted.
It was not until Marquis Jing'an and his wife left Mo'anju that Song Jin stood up and smiled.
Xie Qiao didn't understand what Song Jin was laughing at: "Ah Jin, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Song Jin blinked. "I just didn't expect that Jing'an Hou, such a cold warrior, would obey Madam Xie at home. I thought he would be very serious."
Seeing Song Jin finally relax, Xie Qiao said indifferently, "My father has always been like this."
Then he remembered something: "So Ah Jin, the Xie family is not as scary as you think, right?"
Song Jin knew what Xie Qiao meant.
She froze in place.
Yes.
The Xie family seems to be a little different from those mansions and it is not those man-eating dens.
But she was still a little hesitant.
"The Marquis and Madam Xie are very good." Song Jin said matter-of-factly: "But I still need to think about it again."
Xie Qiao didn't rush: "It's okay, there's no rush."
Song Jin also nodded. She was not anxious at all.
She had other things to do now.
Xie Qiao stayed in the yard for a few more days, and five days later, Xie Qiao accompanied Song Jin back to the Song residence.
It was not Song Jin's shop, but the courtyard left by her parents and brother in Kyoto.
This is Xie Qiao's first time here.
But in fact, Song Jin is not very familiar with it either.
The Xie family's carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley. Song Jin took Xie Qiao through the long alley until they came to the gate of a courtyard. She took out the key, unlocked it, and pushed the door open.
She stood a little to the side of the door: "Come in."
Xie Qiao walked in and entered the small courtyard.
The yard is not small, with a total of five houses. Even though no one has lived here for a long time, it is still clean.
Song Jin pointed to a small room next to him and said, "That's my room, but I've never lived in it for a day. The dowry my parents and brother left for me is in there."
As she spoke, she walked towards the room: "I took all the money from the dowry away before, and now only some items are left in the room."
Song Jin walked to the door, she suddenly stopped and said to Xie Qiao: "I want to go in by myself, can you wait here for me for a while?"
Xie Qiao nodded, he stopped where he was and didn't take another step forward.
He watched Song Jin walk into the house with a serious expression. He looked away and observed the entire yard.
The whole yard is quiet and tidy, and there are some signs of life.
That is proof that the Song family lived here before.
Xie Qiao had met Song Feng. It was the first time he met Song Feng and also the last time.
A family that can raise such an upright and brave man, even if it is not a powerful family, must be an honest family.
They were able to rescue Song Jin many years ago, protect her as their own daughter, send her to Chongzhou, and do their best to find a good marriage for her.
Their whole family, even their maternal grandparents in Chongzhou, are all kind people.
Before Xie Qiao could think of anything else, he heard Song Jin coming out of the house. Her expression did not change, but she had something in her arms.
She walked to Xie Qiao's side and said, "Let's go."
Xie Qiao didn't ask her how she felt, and replied, "Yeah."
The girl had a solemn look on her face. She was holding a package wrapped in coarse cloth and walked outside in silence.
Don't forget to lock the door before leaving.
But when they got on the carriage, Song Jin still didn't say a word.
Xie Qiao could see that she was not ignoring him on purpose, she was just thinking about something. What did she just do in the room?
Song Jin held the package in his arms, staring blankly.
In fact, there was nothing inside, only a thin blanket with blood stains and a letter.
This was what Song Jin found at the bottom of the dowry box when he just entered the house.
These are things that prove her identity.
She was silent for a while, then she suddenly spoke to Xie Qiao, "Tell me, can I still be Song Jin in the future?"
Xie Qiao quickly understood what Song Jin had just found in the house, which must be related to her life experience.
But in fact, even if she didn't find those things, he had found out her identity.
He looked at Song Jin, firmly and naturally: "Of course."
He looked at the confused girl in front of him sincerely: "Ajin, you can be whoever you want to be. I am here, and no one can force you."
"If you want to be Songjin, then it's just Songjin."
Song Jin's eyes suddenly became clear.
When she seemed to be walking in the fog, Xie Qiao appeared, led her out of the fog, and let her know who she was.
Song Jin felt a little sour in the tip of his nose.
She suddenly wanted to tell him everything: "Xie Qiao, I just found the letter my father left for me in the house."
Xie Qiao nodded and listened quietly.
Song Jin narrated calmly, but the occasional pain in her heart betrayed her: "My father said that he was originally a detective in Kyoto. That night he was ordered to send the dead bodies in the prison to the mass grave, but he didn't expect to run into me with a dagger stuck in my body."
"He was startled at the time and felt sorry for me, but he didn't expect me to cry. After hearing that, he took me home and tried his best to treat me. Fortunately, the dagger was not pulled out at the time. Although my heart veins were damaged, I didn't bleed too much, so I was saved."
"My father has been in Kyoto for many years and knows a lot about the dirty things that happen in the mansion. He knew that there might be some problems with my identity, so he sent me to my grandparents' house to be raised."
"He originally wanted to hide my identity, but he was also wondering if someone would come looking for me in the future, so after much thought, he left the small quilt that I was wrapped in and put it in the dowry box."
"So Xie Qiao..." Song Jin said in a low voice: "I seem to be Madam Lin's daughter."
Xie Qiao had already found out about these things.
It's just that he never found a suitable opportunity to tell Song Jin, but today, it seems the time has come.
Xie Qiao said, "After you were taken away by the King of Qi, I had someone investigate your background. A few days ago, it was found out that you are indeed Madam Lin's daughter, and she was so desperate to avenge her father in order to avenge you."
Song Jin was stunned: "Ah?"
She actually didn't expect that Mrs. Lin would do such a crazy and risky thing for her.
She had to admit that she had met Mrs. Lin's two sons and that she seemed to be living a happy life now.
It seems like it's the same whether she's there or not.
She didn't feel any sadness from Mrs. Lin.
She is a little sad.
She also felt a little resentful.
I don't want to have anything to do with Mrs. Lin.
It was not until now that Song Jin heard Xie Qiao say that after Mrs. Lin saw her being killed by her own father, she used all her strength and means to help her take revenge.
This was a little beyond her imagination.
After listening to Xie Qiao, Song Jin was silent for a while. It was not until he returned to Mo Anju that he made a decision.
She said, "Xie Qiao, I want to go to the Lin Mansion tomorrow, can you accompany me?"
Xie Qiao naturally agreed: "Okay."
But he added: "But before that, I want to show you something."
Song Jin felt a little heavy in her heart today. She thought Xie Qiao was going to take out something to prove her identity, so she sat silently on the low couch beside the bed waiting for him.
Xie Qiao took a booklet from the desk and placed it on the low table in front of Song Jin.
Song Jin took a glance and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
On the booklet were the familiar words "house rules", and even the handwriting was familiar to her. It was written by Xie Qiao himself, and was no different from the one in Chunliu Lane.
Song Jin didn't open it, but just looked up at Xie Qiao with a frown.
Xie Qiao: "Open it and take a look."
Song Jin didn't know what he wanted her to see. What was so interesting about the family rules? She was in a bad mood right now, so he'd better not...
Hey hey hey? ? ?
Song Jin turned a page and then closed the book with a "snap".
Her face turned yellow and she stared at the man in front of her with wide eyes, a look of disbelief.
She whispered, "Xie Qiao, are you crazy?"
