Chapter 260 Four years later, the twins quarreled and were so cute
Shen Yuanwei and the man looked into each other's eyes.
She knew that the man was waiting for her answer.
She did not answer. After staring at each other for a few moments, she gently raised the corners of her mouth, with a hint of sarcasm appearing at the corners of her mouth.
Look, she really couldn't accept the emperor's feelings. If she remembered correctly, Xie Junlin wanted to kill her at the palace banquet a month ago, right?
Now that the incident has passed and the murderous intent has disappeared, the emotions have returned to the man's mind?
Oh, isn’t it ridiculous?
Xie Junlin knew very well what a cruel person his mother was, and Ayou knew that it was not her fault. But what about Xie Junlin? The man who had slept with her, the man who had been married to her for a year, the man who forced her to have a child, actually had the intention to kill her.
She could understand Xie Junlin's concern for his mother, but she couldn't understand why Xie Junlin could pretend to be so affectionate even though he wanted to kill her, as if she, Shen Yuanwei, was really favored.
No.
She was never favored.
Xie Junlin only favors the child, and she just benefits from the child.
Therefore, she would not specially travel day and night to rush back, exhausted, just to see this man for the last time.
Since there is no affection between each other, there is no need to act out the drama of you being the wind and I being the sand, and being reluctant to part until the end of the world, right?
It’s not like if she comes to see him for the last time, Xie Junlin will be moved and pass the throne to her, right?
What's the point of exhausting yourself by going through things that are of no benefit to her?
To put it bluntly -
When this emperor was alive and powerful, he insisted on summoning her back to the capital for a few days. She might not dare to disobey the order and had to obey the imperial order to come back. But this emperor was about to die, and her son would soon ascend the throne. Why should she be afraid of this dead emperor?
Shen Yuanwei's mind raced and she curled the corners of her mouth into a smile.
She lowered her head and told Xie Chengyun.
"Mom will come back. She will come to see him for the last time."
She gently wiped her son's tears.
She thought, isn't it just a blank check to fool people? She could just give it to make the emperor happy and he won't bother her for a few years. As for when he is about to die, no one would care about him. He could just stretch his neck and wait with his last breath.
Shen Yuanwei's voice was loud enough for Xie Junlin to hear.
Xie Junlin was indeed in a very good mood.
After the New Year, he was one year older. He always felt that he would not live for many more years, and he always liked to think about what would happen after his death at night.
When he thought that he would be leaving this world completely once he closed his eyes, he wanted to see the people he cared about before he died.
He had not loved many people in his life. There were only a few people he cared about. His mother was by his side, Ayou was by his side, the queen and the children were by his side, and his close ministers were by his side. Only Shen Yuanwei and Xiao Lingzhao were far away at the border.
He wanted to entrust his child to these two people before he died.
No matter what, Shen Yuanwei is always Yun'er's mother, and Shen Yuanwei's three children are always Yun'er's half-siblings.
After his death, Yuner will surely get over the grief faster if he has his mother and siblings by his side.
certainly……
He also wanted to close his eyes in the company of these two people, a loyal minister and a capable general, and the biological mother of his child. He could only feel at ease when these two people watched over him while he closed his eyes and watched over his lucky child.
Xie Junlin looked at Shen Yuanwei with a smile, then looked at Xiao Lingzhao.
"If you promised me, then you must come back to see me for the last time. If you break your promise, I will not close my eyes. I will keep them open and wait for you to come back."
Xiao Lingzhao bowed.
"Your Majesty is still in his prime, how could he pass away so easily? Perhaps I have died on the battlefield, but you are still in good health."
Xie Junlin shook his head and smiled.
"You don't need to say such things to comfort me. I know the condition of my own body very well."
He patted Xiao Lingzhao's shoulder and whispered, "I'm afraid that something might happen and I won't have time to say some things, so I'm telling you now. Soon, I will enthrone Yun'er as the crown prince, and at the same time, I will enthrone Yuan'er as the prince. I will also give Yuan'er an extra certificate of immunity from death. In this way, you should be able to rest assured and leave Yuan'er by my side—"
Xiao Lingzhao looked at Xie Junlin in surprise.
"emperor……"
Xie Junlin shook his head and continued.
"Ling Zhao, your three children are closely related to my children. Even if they are connected by blood, they are still connected. If I am gone, you should protect Yun'er, together with the Wei family, because he is your three children's biological brother. Don't let him be harmed by those people with evil intentions."
"Also, your wife is Yun'er's biological mother. You are the one who doesn't need to worry about him destroying the bridge after crossing the river. The person he is least likely to hurt in his life is your Xiao family, so please be sincere to him."
Xiao Lingzhao looked at the thin emperor and suddenly felt a sense of sadness that the emperor really did not have much time left.
He knelt down, kowtowed and promised solemnly.
"Your Highness, I will definitely protect your Highness at all costs. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Xie Junlin smiled with relief.
He called the two children back and watched the Xiao family set off.
Smoke and dust rolled up as he looked at the troops going farther and farther away, his eyes suddenly reddening.
After this separation, can he really wait for these two people to come back to see him for the last time?
…
Border.
In the blink of an eye, four years have passed. The twins, a boy and a girl, who used to spit up milk bubbles in their cradles can now run around on the ground.
General Xiao, who had long been predicted by doctors to not live long, is still alive four years later.
I don’t know if it’s because of the company of his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren, but the old man couldn’t bear to leave these relatives, so he survived year after year with their company.
The sun was just rising and Shen Yuanwei had not yet gotten up. The energetic old man, leaning on his crutches and with his back hunched, walked step by step to the martial arts training ground in the mansion.
Looking at the two little kids on the field waving their fists in style, the old man stroked his beard and smiled from ear to ear.
"Oh, our Shengnan and Chuanjia are so amazing. Your little fists are so powerful and vigorous. You don't look like little babies at all. You two are much more powerful than your father when he was a child!"
In the martial arts training ground, a chubby little boy in black clothes and with a chubby face was looking straight ahead and swinging his fists with all his might.
Just as he threw out a punch, he heard his grandfather say these words. The little guy staggered immediately and fell forward without being able to catch his momentum.
Fortunately, the little girl next to him quickly reached out and grabbed the back of his neck, pulling him back and preventing him from falling face first into the dirt.
After the little fat boy stood firm, he gave his sister a silly smile, then turned around to look at his grandfather and his expression immediately changed to unhappiness.
He pouted and complained in a baby voice.
"Grandfather, you are so annoying. I've already told you that I want to be a great hero in the future. You can't let people know that I'm still drinking milk at the age of four and a half. People will laugh at me!"
General Xiao burst out laughing.
He bent down and looked at his chubby little grandson lovingly, "Okay, okay, grandpa was wrong. Grandpa will remember this and never say it again, okay?"
The little fat boy snorted, looked around, and made sure that his mother was not there. He then started complaining to her again.
"My mother is so mean. My child is already four years old, but she still wants him to drink a glass of milk every day. The little brother next door doesn't drink milk until he's two years old, but I'm still drinking milk at the age of four. I'm embarrassed to go out and see people..."
General Xiao couldn't help laughing.
He walked over to his grandson and patted his little head gently, comforting him tenderly.
"Silly boy, your mother is doing this for your own good. Drink more milk so that you can be strong. Look at those boys on the grassland, why are they all so tall and strong? That's because they drink cow's milk, horse's milk and goat's milk all the time. Many of them are still drinking it when they are in their teens. Those things are good. Drink more and you will grow into a man taller and stronger than your father. In the future, you will definitely be more powerful than your father."
The little fat boy raised his head and rubbed his grandfather's rough palm.
He blinked his eyes like black grapes, tilted his head and asked, "Are the eldest and second brothers in the capital still drinking milk? They are also my mother's children. If they want to drink, we will drink together. If they don't drink, then I won't drink either."
As soon as he finished speaking, his sister tugged at his sleeve and said with a smile, "Brother, it doesn't matter if the eldest and second brothers don't drink. I'm drinking, and I'm drinking with you."
The chubby Xiao Chuanjia turned around and looked at his sister, gently touched her little face, then shook his head and said seriously, "It's different, sister. You are a girl, and girls look better if they drink more milk. You have to drink it obediently, but your brother is a man, and people will laugh at your brother——"
The little girl put her hands on her hips and snorted unconvincedly, "You are a man, and I am still called Shengnan. I don't think it's shameful to drink milk, and I always listen to my parents, grandparents, and you are the only one who is always making trouble."
Xiao Chuanjia was stunned.
He pointed at his sister's little mouth and started scolding her. It took her several seconds to react.
He stared at his grandfather dumbfounded, and then he jumped up and yelled, "Grandpa, look, my sister is swearing again. She said I am a big shot! How can a girl talk so much? It's not elegant at all!"
Before General Xiao could say anything, the little girl Xiao Shengnan said in a baby voice, "Don't complain to Grandpa. I didn't say it first. It was my mother who said it. My mother said that you are young and you are always making trouble!"
Xiao Chuanjia was stunned.
He didn't believe it. How could such a good mother say bad things about him behind his back?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
He stiffened his neck and argued, "No! Mom didn't say that! Mom loves me so much. Last night before going to bed, she tucked me in, kissed my forehead and called me a good baby. How could she think I was a troublemaker!"
Xiao Shengnan blinked and whispered, "But, mother really said that. That day mother made new clothes for us, but you said that the clothes mother made for you were too fancy and only sissy would wear them. No matter how mother pushed you, you refused to wear them and ran away. Then mother said you were a troublemaker!"
After a pause, Xiao Shengnan raised the corner of her mouth, "Dad nodded in agreement beside me. Dad also said that a real man doesn't need to pretend to be cool. A real man can still be strong even if he wears flowery clothes and dresses up as a woman."
Xiao Chuanjia was dumbfounded.
What my sister said is well-founded and has details to back it up. So it seems to be true?
His beloved mother actually thinks he is too nosy, and his beloved father actually says he is trying to be cool?
He didn’t…
The four-year-old boy felt ashamed and angry. He grabbed the hem of his shorts, glared at his sister aggrievedly, then suddenly turned around and ran away.
"Xiao Shengnan, you are so annoying. Humph, mom has already said it. Why did you have to tell me? If I didn't hear it, it means mom never said it. Now that you have told me, I, I, I can't even play dumb anymore!"
"I'm done with you. I'm going to ignore you for three days!"
General Xiao watched his little grandson run away in shame and anger, and then watched his granddaughter who had angered her brother and ran away felt a little guilty, so she bit her finger and reflected seriously.
The old man couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He squatted down, gently took his granddaughter's hand, and said with a smile, "My dear granddaughter, how come you have such a bad mouth like your mother? You are always irritating your brother. Be careful that your brother will get really angry."
Xiao Shengnan blinked her large black and white eyes. She leaned softly against her grandfather's neck and whispered, "Then I'll go apologize to my brother, okay? I didn't mean to anger him, but..."
She pulled her pigtails and whispered, "But my brother is always a troublemaker..."
General Xiao laughed, "You still want to say?"
Xiao Shengnan pouted, "That's right. Mom asked him to drink milk, not poison. Does he need to complain every few days? And, he said he didn't want to drink, but every day when he sat at the table, he turned his head to look for his milk. Humph, he obviously wanted to drink, but he just wanted everyone to coax him and persuade him..."
Xiao Shengnan pulled her grandfather's beard and whispered, "My brother is really pretentious."
General Xiao laughed so hard that he almost sprained his waist.
He was really driven to death by this little granddaughter.
This little baby really looks like her mother. Her little mouth chatters all day long, and what she says is well-founded and unforgiving.
When the little girl saw her grandfather laughing so hard that tears came out of his eyes, she stretched out her little hands to wipe his tears and whispered to him about something.
"Grandpa, grandpa, I hope you live a long life, okay? I really like grandpa. I like seeing grandpa smile at me. When grandpa smiles, I feel so good all day long, so good that I feel like flying."
When General Xiao heard this, he suddenly felt warm in his heart, as if the sun was rising in his heart and warming him completely.
He held his lovely granddaughter in his arms and couldn't let go.
"Okay, Grandfather promised our Shengnan that he would live a hundred years. Grandfather would like to hear Shengnan coax me for a few more decades, okay?"
Xiao Shengnan nodded happily.
"Okay, okay, making grandparents happy every day is my favorite thing to do. When grandparents smile, I am happier than eating pig's trotters!"
General Xiao is as soft-hearted as water.
He pinched his granddaughter's cheek and said, "Do you want to eat pig's trotters? Your grandmother knows that you like it. She is making pig's trotters for you in the kitchen. You can eat it soon."
Xiao Shengnan covered her mouth and said exaggeratedly, "Wow, is that true? The pig trotters my grandma made are so delicious. I think the chefs can't make them taste like my grandma's!"
She said seriously, "My mother said that it's because my grandmother loves me so much. The pig's trotters she makes are infused with love. That's the taste of love, so only my grandmother can make such delicious pig's trotters!"
General Xiao was almost dying of laughter.
