Chapter 0156 Fairness
Xiao Rong would tell others these words sooner or later. Since Dan Ran asked, he might as well tell her directly.
Xiao Rong thought that Dan Ran was sent by someone just to get information, but Xiao Rong guessed wrong. Everyone was very busy now, and those who were not busy were wary of Dan Ran's nonsense, so no one sent her. It was the girl herself who felt something was wrong and came to get information on her own.
But she had never expected to find out such explosive news. Looking at Xiao Rong in a daze, Dan Ran even forgot what to say.
It had been a while since Xiao Rong had spent time with Dan Ran. Children change every day as they grow up, and girls mature earlier, so he had no idea that Dan Ran's personality had changed a little. She had become more stable and more assertive.
Without asking Xiao Rong any more random questions, Dan Ran stayed here for a while, suppressing her anxiety, and then ran away impatiently. Xiao Rong looked at her agile figure, then lowered his head and continued to drink tea. *
This matter was too big, and Danran's first reaction was to find the parents. She first told Agusega what Xiao Rong said, and then grabbed Agusega's sleeve and asked her to find a solution quickly. However, Agusega's reaction disappointed Danran.
She was stunned for a few seconds, and then she continued to deal with the herbs in her hands as usual. With drooping eyelids, she said to Dan Ran: "Why do we have to find a way? Young Master Xiao is not a prisoner. He can go wherever he wants."
Dan Ran: “…”
Feeling that Na Luo was useless, she went to find Gao Xunzhi again.
Gao Xunzhi was discussing something with several people who were familiar with the official system. Danran never disturbed him at such times, but today he asked the guards to call him out. Gao Xunzhi was startled and thought something big had happened.
After hearing Danran's words, Gao Xunzhi was slightly stunned.
It seems like a big deal, but it is not a big deal in the traditional sense.
Danran's words confirmed Gao Xunzhi's guess. The news came too suddenly. He took a long time to digest it, then hurriedly took Danran's hand and took her to a small house nearby.
Gao Xunzhi asked Danran to sit on the chair, and he bent over and asked her, "Okay Danran, have you told your Minji about this?"
Dan Ran shook his head aggrievedly: "No, I don't dare to go find him."
Gao Xunzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, don't tell him yet, and don't tell anyone else, okay?"
Dan Ran didn't understand: "Why can't I tell other people? Mr. Xiao has told me. He is not afraid of others knowing. Only when more people know can we persuade him to come back."
Gao Xunzhi looked at Danran's upturned face, and suddenly, he forced a smile: "Danran."
Danran looked at him in confusion.
Gao Xunzhi sighed, "Arong is an adult now. He is not one of your playmates. When the elders call them, they will run back home obediently. Moreover, I am not his elder. Even if I were, what words could I use to persuade him to come back? The Zhenbei Army has received a lot of favors from Arong. I don't have the face to persuade him."
Danran totally disagreed with this statement: "But Mr. Xiao has always been with us. He has such a good relationship with Minji. He would give me candy. He has done us a favor, so I will repay him when I grow up. Shouldn't we always be together? Just like a family."
Danran was about to cry. She was only ten years old. No matter how mature she was, she could not get rid of the child's thinking. Children thought that adults should stay with them. They could go out for a year or two at a time, but they would have to come back to live together in the end. Xiao Rong said that he might not come back, which made Danran feel unacceptable.
She is a fatherless child, but she has never experienced true separation.
Gao Xunzhi himself was also very confused. He didn't know how to explain to Danran. Finally, Danran returned to the room by herself with tears on her face, and Sang Yan immediately saw through it.
During the time when Agusega was away, Sang Yan took Danran with her personally. When Agusega returned with the army, she found an excuse not to go back to the palace and lived directly in the wounded barracks. So Danran still followed Sang Yan.
To be honest, until now the way this mother and daughter get along has not become natural. Sang Yan talks little, while Dan Ran talks a lot. Sang Yan has never taken care of Dan Ran personally, and she doesn't know many of Dan Ran's little habits. When this happens, Sang Yan will become very frustrated. She tries to send Dan Ran back, but Agusega is determined. If Sang Yan doesn't take care of Dan Ran personally, she will shut Dan Ran out.
One night, Danran almost slept in the same yard with Gao Xunzhi, but in the end Sang Yan appeared quietly and took Danran back.
With no way out, she had to take on the responsibility of a mother. She tried hard to learn how to treat a ten-year-old child. Fortunately, Danran was very well behaved and, apart from being a little talkative, gave her little to worry about.
But today it didn’t work. Today Danran actually cried.
Holding the grinding rod, Sang Yan froze for a while before going over to ask Dan Ran what was going on. Gao Xunzhi told Dan Ran not to tell anyone else, and she didn't know what he was thinking. ...
Danran sobbed as she told him what had happened today, including Gao Xunzhi and Agusega's attitudes. She felt even more aggrieved because no one else stood on her side.
Sang Yan: “…”
The reason was revealed, but Sang Yan had no idea how to comfort Dan Ran. She could only stretch out one of her hands and gently stroke Dan Ran's back as if she was touching a kitten for the first time. Dan Ran cried and then rushed towards her. After a while, the crying subsided, and after a while, Dan Ran fell asleep.
Only at this time, Sanson Liyan would unconsciously reveal some tenderness that only belongs to a mother. In the past, the existence of her daughter was the only meaning for her to continue living, but now... it seems different.
In the past, her daughter was like a symbol. She knew she had a daughter, but she didn’t dare to get close to her or look at her too much. After looking at her too much, she began to dislike herself. Now that her daughter is by her side, it turns out that she is not the perfect child in her mind. She also has a little temper and troublesome shortcomings. She needs adults to teach her again and again, or even more.
She closed herself off, but her daughter did not. Her daughter knew so many people, and her little heart was filled with so many people. As a mother, she naturally could not ignore it. Even if she just took a second look at her occasionally, one glance after another, it was enough to form a new connection between her and others.
Patting Danran's body gently, Sangyan looked towards the door in front of her. After a while, she lowered her head. *
In the first month of the year, the sun was shining brightly. After staying at home for several days in winter, Xiao Rong finally went out again.
Today is an important day. Gao Xunzhi summoned all the senior officials to discuss the name of the country. He sent someone to deliver a letter to Xiao Rong, but he was not sure whether Xiao Rong would come. The moment he saw Xiao Rong appear, he felt relieved, but not for long. Thinking of Dan Ran's previous words, his heart was hanging high again.
Gao Xunzhi sat on the chair with a miserable look on his face, thinking three words over and over in his mind. Not worrying. Not worrying at all!
No one sympathizes with the old man. He is so old, but he still can't enjoy a peaceful and happy life. ...
Xiao Rong had no idea that the old man was muttering about him in his heart. Sitting on the chair opposite Gao Xunzhi, Xiao Rong was about to drink tea when he felt someone in the room was looking at him.
