Chapter 140 Masked Man
The three of them knelt with him. Li Wan'er cried out of heartache, but since it involved upbringing, her mother-in-law agreed and she couldn't plead anymore.
Xie Zhinan knelt for half an hour, sobbing and pulling up his eyes from time to time to check his mother's expression.
It’s a pity that no matter how pitiful he pretended, he didn’t get any sympathy from Shen Shurong.
......
On a small island in the sea, a group of white people landed on the island happily, speaking incomprehensible words and carrying boxes of goods and jewelry in their hands.
One of the tall white men strode to the martial arts training ground with his head held high. This time he had made quite a harvest, and the boss would be very happy if he knew about it.
At this moment, two people were fighting in the martial arts training ground, and a man was sitting in the main seat watching.
His face was covered with an exquisite fox mask, with hollowed-out areas between his eyebrows and eyes, revealing only his deep, abyssal eyes.
With her long legs crossed and one hand holding a teacup and drinking tea, and the other hand twirling a dagger, her every move was mysterious and evil.
A tall white man came over, knelt on one knee to salute, holding a box in his hand and speaking an incomprehensible language.
The masked man had someone translating beside him. While recounting the haul, he took the box and opened it: "Boss, we got a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry this time, as well as five night-shining pearls, one of which is very big and bright."
The masked man took a look and raised his lips in a high arc: "Put it away for me."
The tall white man was very happy, knowing that the boss would like it.
…
On the sea, Xie Yunzheng led the Xie family army, and Gu Kaizhi and Lu Ziqian led the navy to search for Xie Yunzhao.
As time went by, they had lost hope.
But Xie Yunzheng couldn't bear to hear that his brother was no longer around, so he persisted in looking for him for two months, until the New Year, when he stopped.
Gu Kaizhi and Lu Ziqian returned to Beijing full of guilt, while Xie Yunzheng went to Jia County.
His mother, wife and children were all in Jia County, so he had every reason not to return to Beijing.
Thinking of this, he ordered the team to speed up, wanting to see his Yongjia earlier.
Now that Xie Yunzhao is gone, she will only belong to herself.
Since Xie Zhinan was punished that day, he no longer dared to speak nonsense.
Mother will really punish him, and the crime of destroying others can be pinned on him without any scruples.
If his reputation of being disloyal, unfilial and unbrotherly spreads, he will never be able to make a success in his life.
Sooner or later, the two burdens will know the news of Second Uncle's death. After such a long period of salvaging without any news, he must have been fed to the sea fishes long ago.
The Duke's wife rarely took Anan to see his brothers and sisters, for fear that he would make another mistake. She was also afraid that her grandchildren would be sad and upset if they knew their father would not come back.
On the eve of New Year's Eve, Xie Yun won it.
The Princess's Mansion had received the news long ago, and the masters of the mansion were waiting in the front hall.
Xie Yun rushed in, first bowed to his mother and the prince and his wife, and then apologized.
Everyone knew the result, and no one said anything, except to say that he had worked hard.
Chen Shurong only said that he would keep it a secret from Ayi and Xixi.
Xie Yunzheng looked at Shen Shurong. She had lost weight and looked more haggard than when she left Beijing.
It doesn't matter. When they return to Beijing, he will find a way to be by her side, take good care of her, and nourish her to restore her former beauty.
"Don't worry, Princess. I won't tell these to the children."
His gaze lingered for a moment, but Li Wan'er ignored it. She was now competing with Xie Yun only for the sake of her son.
Xie Yunzheng asked the Duke's wife in a tentative tone, "We were away during the Spring Festival, Dad must be in a bad mood, do you want to return to Beijing after the New Year?"
The corner of his eye was looking at Shen Shurong, but he was actually asking her.
The Duke's wife thought for a moment and decided to go back. After searching for so long, she already knew in her heart that he would not be there.
Nodded and said okay.
The prince and his wife also agreed that after being away from home for so long, a lot of things have piled up. Their grandson is still young, and their daughter-in-law has also been busy these days.
"Princess and Ayi Xixi, let's go back together. It won't be too late for the capital to know when there is news." Seeing that Shen Shurong didn't speak, Xie Yunzheng asked expectantly.
Shen Shurong shook his head and said firmly: "If the three of us don't come back, he will be angry when he comes back and finds that we are not here."
Everyone in the room was speechless, and Yongjia still refused to believe it.
The Duke's wife choked up and said, "Yongjia, why bother? We have to hold a funeral so that his soul can return home."
Chen Shurong shook his head: "Mom, he promised me that he would return safely, and I believe him. So, we will wait for him here, and there is no need to hold a funeral."
"Ah——" The room was filled with sighs. Yongjia was too stubborn.
On New Year's Eve, the family had dinner together, with Chen Shurong sitting on either side with her and Xie Yunzhao's son and daughter.
Xie Yunzheng looked around the dining table. It was a round table with only him and no Xie Yunzhao. It would be like this in the future.
He held Anan in his arms and picked up food for him himself.
Li Wan'er felt a little relieved. Now he was very nice to his son.
She had no idea that Xie Zhinan wanted Shen Shurong to be his mother, and that was why Xie Yunzheng was willing to get close to him because they had the same goal.
The date for returning to Beijing has been set, and we will leave after the sixth day of the New Year.
Xie Yunzheng didn't want Shen Shurong to continue to guard Xie Yunzhao, so he wanted to find an opportunity to persuade her in person.
On the morning of the second day, Xie Yunzheng carried Xie Zhinan and went to play with Ayi and Xixi.
I thought if I couldn't meet her, I would bring Anan here a few more times, but I didn't expect to meet her as soon as I arrived.
The children were playing together, and he advised Shen Shurong to return to Beijing from a suitable distance: "The search will not stop, but we are worried about you three staying here, so come back to Beijing with us."
Shen Shurong shook his head: "Brother, don't persuade me, I won't go back."
Xie Yunzheng looked anxious. He took a step forward and spoke in a low voice: "Now that he is gone, I am still here. I can protect you three. You don't have to worry about anything."
Chen Shurong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why, judging from your tone, Big Brother seems to wish he was dead?"
Xie Yunzheng was startled. Did someone hear it? He quickly regained his composure and said, "How is that possible? He is my brother."
Shen Shurong turned his back and didn't look at him, extremely annoyed: "Then don't persuade me, otherwise I will think that his death has something to do with you."
"You miss me so much?" Xie Yunzheng looked hurt. She actually suspected him so much!
Are they so far apart?
"Brother, take Anan back. If you have any problem, ask sister-in-law to come to me."
Xie Yunzheng couldn't stay there any longer, so he walked in and took Xie Zhinan away. He would not give up!
Sooner or later, she will come back to me!
Before Xie Zhinan went out, he stared at Shen Shurong's back. It seemed that his mother was determined to wait for his second uncle.
Then don't blame him!
When he has power, he might as well do like in the previous life and make his mother lose her status, so that she can only stay by his side and be his mother.
He wants to get back everything he has lost!
On the beautiful island, the sounds of soldiers' cheers were heard everywhere.
A man hurriedly landed on the island, ran to the masked man and whispered in his ear.
I couldn't hear what he said, I could only see the masked man's expression gradually getting worse...
