"Mother, eat too." Xu Jiang picked up the spoon she had just used to feed herself and fed her a spoonful.
After eating it, Mrs. Wan also felt sweet in her heart.
The three of them fed each other and soon finished the bowl of pomegranates. Liu Mei took away the empty bowl and was about to ask the maids to take it away to wash it, but she saw Wan Sheng standing in front of the door for who knows how long.
She bowed to Wan Sheng and then asked, "Master Wan is here, why don't you come into the house?"
The three people in the room heard the noise and looked towards the door. Wan Qingmiao came forward first and said with a smile, "Father is here."
Xu Jiang followed closely behind, bowed to Wan Sheng and said, "Master Wan."
"Yeah." Wan Sheng's eyes fell on Xizhi and he called out, "Madam, you're awake."
Wan Qingmiao helped him into the house and said as they walked in, "Father, I'm peeling a pomegranate for Mother. Please sit down and I'll peel one for you too."
Liu Mei handed the bowl to the maid, then whispered to Xu Jiang, "Go ahead, don't make things difficult for Madam." Then she shook her hand and said, "I'll stay here and not go anywhere."
Xu Jiang was grateful and moved. She nodded and returned to Madam Wan's side.
Wan Qingmiao brought a stool to his father and then went to pick pomegranates. Seeing that he seemed to have something to say to Madam Wan, Xu Jiang made an excuse to find a bowl and let the two talk.
Wan Sheng looked at her back and said to Xizhi, "She is a good child."
Xizhi nodded.
Wan Sheng added: "She is also your child, your child with him."
Xizhi's eyes trembled, "I..."
"It's my fault." Wan Sheng retracted his gaze and looked at her, "It was me who hid her whereabouts from you, which caused you to be separated for so many years."
He knew the whereabouts of Xu Jiang at that time, but because he did not want Xi Zhi to have any relationship with Xu Yuan anymore, he informed the Xi family and said that he would give the child to a distant relative for adoption.
Xizhi repeatedly asked about the child's whereabouts. Eventually, her father, annoyed by the constant questioning, said the family had moved away and he didn't know where they had gone. He then said many harsh words and threatened her with the child, forbidding her to ask any more questions. Only then did Xizhi give up.
Later, Xu Yuan had an accident and Xu Jiang disappeared. He did not dare to tell her the news. In addition, she was seriously ill, so the matter was buried from then on.
He never thought that this day would come, Xu Jiang would come to him, and her illness would get better.
He was panicked at first, but now he is glad. Glad that he did not make the same mistake again, and glad that God gave Xizhi a chance to start a new life.
"It's all... in the past." Xizhi looked at Wansheng. She had just woken up from a dream. The world was far away. Just like her daughter said, she should let go of the past and look forward. "I don't blame you."
Right or wrong, she could no longer trace it. She only knew that without Wan Sheng, she would have died long ago.
The words 'I don't blame you' made Wan Sheng's eyes red immediately. He reached out his hand to touch her, but he didn't dare.
Seeing this, Xizhi took the initiative to hold his hand.
"Changshi, I'm sorry for all these years... Thank you very much."
Her words were incomplete, but Wansheng understood. The shame and grievances that had been suppressed for many years rose up as huge waves, as if to drown him.
"Father, eat a pomegranate." Wan Qingmiao came over with a peeled pomegranate and placed it in front of Wan Sheng.
Wan Sheng tilted his head to wipe his face, then said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
Xu Jiang was about to open the sugarcane juice, but saw Wan Qingmiao had already grabbed a handful and put it to his father's mouth.
"I'll feed you."
Wansheng thought about the happy scene of the three of them just now, and looked at Shi Liu and his son with expectant expressions in front of him. He couldn't help feeling relieved and opened his mouth to take it.
The next moment, his face wrinkled into a walnut.
Xu Jiang held the sugarcane juice and looked at Wan Qingmiao speechlessly.
You are such a filial and good son.
