Chapter 299 Silent Blessings
Meng Cimo said nothing, looking at Zheng Ji calmly, waiting for him to speak.
Zheng Ji was embarrassed to look directly at Meng Cimo. It was the first time in his life that he did not dare to look at someone, and his eyes drifted to the small window.
"I was seventeen years old that year and had just entered the Fifth Regiment Camp. By chance, I met a girl. The girl was very beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth, a fish and a wild goose, a beautiful country, fragrant and charming... All words are not enough.
To describe the beauty.
"The voice is also nice, like gurgling spring water. She also has a kind heart and is willing to help others... The first time I saw her, I will never forget it..."
His voice was very soft and his eyes were soft, completely lacking the usual might of General Zheng.
"I was amazed that there was such a beautiful woman in the world. In my opinion, even the fairies in the sky could not compare with her. Since then, I have taken every opportunity to wander around her house, hoping to have a chance encounter with her. Because I often run away.
When I left the military camp, I received a lot of scolding and even military sticks.
"Kung Fu is a man of good will, and I actually met her several times. It was obvious that she had a good impression of me. I also found out where the girl's brother went to school, and I tried to find a way to get acquainted with her brother, so I was able to walk in
Her door..."
At this point, a smile appeared on Zheng Ji's face, as if he saw two young men and women talking a few feet apart. Both of them were shy, but they couldn't hide their smiles and admiration for each other. Slowly
, the distance is getting closer.
Meng Cimo was still thinking about how to negotiate with Zheng Ji. After hearing these words, he was moved and his eyes softened unconsciously.
He was sure that if he and Xixi did not know each other from the beginning, but met on the same level as Uncle Zheng and his mother-in-law, he would find every opportunity to get close to her...
Zheng Ji paused for a while before waking up from his memories. He looked at Meng Cimo and his expression became serious.
"You should have guessed who that girl is. Her maiden name is Hu Mingya, she is Xixi's mother... We love each other and often date. I wholeheartedly want to marry her home, and she wholeheartedly wants to marry me...
We thought we would definitely become husband and wife, but we didn't hold on to it that day... and that's what happened."
Zheng Ji's face turned redder and he lowered his gaze.
"But my mother didn't like that Mingya came from a small family, and she objected fiercely. She and I had a very unpleasant quarrel. One day there was an emergency in the camp and I was sent out on business, and I went without thinking too much. I wanted to keep my mother calm.
I came back and continued to fight. But when I came back two months later, Mingya had already married Jiang Chen."
There was despair and regret in his eyes. He had regretted it countless times, and he should not have left at that time. If he had married Mingya as he wished, and Mingya's fate had changed, maybe he would not have died so early...
His voice was even harder, "Zheng Shou has already been to Weiyang Town, Gaoli County, Shizhou Prefecture, where Xixi's mother gave birth to Xixi. I heard from an old neighbor that Xixi was born at the end of May, not September 14th.
.
"Calculating the time, Xixi is not Jiang Chen's biological daughter, but mine. I don't know what difficulties Mingya encountered back then, but before I could come back, she took her body and got married in a hurry..."
After speaking, he looked at Meng Cimo again.
Meng Cimo heard from Jiang Yixi that she was born in Weiyang Town, Gaoli County, and her actual birth date was May 26th.
Zheng Ji asked everything that needed to be asked, and also found witnesses and the place where he had been given birth.
Meng Cimo said, "Because as soon as you left the capital, people from the eldest princess's palace came to the Hu family and said that the daughter of the Hu family was shameless and wanted to climb high... Mr. Hu was also transferred to a remote mountainous area and forced him to leave the capital as soon as possible.
.The old lady and the old lady are very angry. They don’t allow your mother-in-law to have any contact with you anymore...
"My mother-in-law was in pain and caused my father a lot, and you didn't show up for a long time. I don't know what your attitude was. At that time, she suddenly found out that she was pregnant, and she was so frightened that she couldn't sleep or eat well.
"She had no choice but to go to the Fifth Regiment Camp to look for you. People in the camp said that you haven't come back from the field yet, and they don't know when you will come back. My mother-in-law guessed that maybe you succumbed to the pressure of your elders and changed your mind, and you were avoiding her...
"My mother-in-law had a broken heart and didn't know what to do, so she sneaked out and jumped into the river in the middle of the night. The river water was up to her waist. My father-in-law ran into the river to save her... My father-in-law was afraid that my mother-in-law and the children would be wronged, so he rushed out as quickly as possible
Marry her quickly, find a way to transfer her out of the capital, and then take your mother-in-law out..."
After listening to Meng Cimo's story, Zheng Ji held his head and shed tears.
How desperate it would be to jump into a river in the middle of the night...
If they hadn't met Jiang Chen, Mingya and Xixi would have been dead. Calculating the time, it was late autumn, and the river was biting...
He murmured, "Young people admire Ai, young people are arrogant, these are no excuses. I shouldn't have done that kind of thing, causing Mingya to drown in the river, and almost killing their mother and daughter..."
Seeing him like this, Meng Cimo also felt sad. After knowing those past events, he blamed himself even more. If his father-in-law had not saved him, he would not have died. Before he died, he was still worried about Xixi and Jiang Xun, fearing that they would suffer..."
The two fell silent, each thinking about sad things.
After a long time, Zheng Ji wiped away his tears and raised his head to look at Meng Cimo.
"It turns out that you have known for a long time that Xixi doesn't want to recognize me..." The voice was full of disappointment and pain, "I don't blame her. It was my fault for not protecting her mother and her. Cimo, I want to meet Xixi.
"Jiang Chen is very kind to their mother and daughter. I don't ask her to recognize her ancestor and return to the clan. We will only recognize each other privately."
Meng Cimo shook his head and said, "Xi Xi will not see you, let alone get to know you in private. My mother-in-law also made an explanation before her death. The servants who knew about it were not allowed to tell her Xi Xi's true life story, saying that her father-in-law was very kind to their mother and daughter.
Like Shan, Xixi will always be Jiang Chen’s daughter...
"We learned about this last year. The old servant left behind by my mother-in-law noticed that Mrs. Ling looked at Xixi unkindly, and guessed that she might know something. To prevent any accident, she told Xixi about the incident...
"Uncle Zheng, Xixi doesn't want to recognize you, not only because she obeys her mother-in-law's last wish, but also because of her years of relationship with her father-in-law. Her father-in-law treats her very well, even better than her own son Jiang Xun. He has not remarried.
Let Xixi grow up safely and happily... Many fathers are not that kind to their daughters..."
Zheng Ji cried again.
He held his forehead to prevent Meng Cimo from seeing his eyes.
"It's my fault, I'm sorry for Mingya and Xixi..."
Zheng Ji's previous impression of Meng Cimo was that of perseverance and calmness, but this was the first time he saw him so sad and helpless.
He advised, "Uncle Zheng, please keep this matter in mind and silently bless each other. If those things come out, Xixi will have a hard time with the title of illegitimate daughter, and the mother-in-law will also be criticized."
Zheng Ji asked, "How about just me meeting her in private?"
Meng Cimo shook his head, "Xi Xi said that no matter what the circumstances, she will not see you." If you like Chun Man Jinghua, please bookmark it: (https://www.myxls.net) Chun Man Jinghua Search Novel Network updates at the fastest speed on the entire network.
