Gu Zhen muttered, as if afraid of offending Nie Xun.

"I heard you came to Xiangyang County earlier, so I stopped by to have a look."

She said by the way, but anyone with a clear eye could see that her dress was thoughtful!

In order to make her complexion better, Gu Zhen specially put on detailed makeup.

She has a good foundation. She has been carefully raised and dressed up over the years. She is only twenty-four or five.

No wonder Zhu Qingning just misunderstood.

Nie Xun sighed, "Liu Fu, everyone has seen..."

Gu Zhen's complexion turned white. Nie Xun only said half a sentence, but the remaining half sentence was absolutely customer driven.

"You don't want to see me so much?"

In a trance, she felt heartache and couldn't breathe. Her ugly face made Zhu Qingning sweat for her.

Nie Xun said, "I don't want to see you, but... You and I are not passers-by. What can I do when I see you?"

The calmer his tone was, the more uncomfortable Gu Zhen felt at the bottom of his heart, and his tears collapsed in an instant.

"How can it not be a passer-by?" Gu Zhen grabbed Nie Xun's shoulders with both hands, hung his head and cried, "did you know what happened that year? When I think of it, I want to cut Meng Zhansheng to death. If it weren't for him, how could you and I have been separated for so many years?"

As a lady without status, she was really useless. She couldn't protect her son. She let him be stolen by a concubine's room. He almost died in the cold underground. She was trampled by thousands of people before and after death. Gu Zhen also hates in her heart. How can she not hate?

Nie Xun didn't recognize her, and she didn't insist, but why didn't he even give himself a chance to make up for it?

Zhu Qingning, who was on the other side, was more and more disgusted. Her eyes were full of doubts and secretly looked at her husband.

"These... I know, but what if I know? What should have happened has already happened." Nie Xun said, "Madam Liu, look open. You just... The baby boy was buried alive. I'm the adopted son of Nie in the imperial edict, not Meng Zhan's second son."

For Nie Xun, the grace of raising is far greater than that of living.

Gu Zhen is pitiful. Does he deserve Nie Xun?

His life was not just brought by the woman in front of him, and what she missed was not just a son.

Apart from blood relationship, how are they different from strangers?

He didn't owe Guzhen, and Guzhen didn't owe him. It's meaningless to make up by force.

Nie Xun is willing to treat Gu Zhen as an elder, but he can't force himself to adore her as an adoptive mother.

The feelings between parents and children can not be determined by a blood relationship.

Zhu Qingning listened to their dialogue and knew that the "Mrs. Liu" in front of her was Liu she's stepbrother and her husband's biological mother.

At this time, the daughter in her arms also cried.

No matter what adults do, babies cry whenever they want, regardless of scene, place and time.

Seeing this, Gu Zhen immediately restrained the sob in his throat, and then wiped the tears on his face with his handkerchief. He couldn't take care of his makeup.

Zhu Qingning touched it and whispered, "maybe I peed. My concubine went to call the nanny. Would you like to take care of it?"

Gu Zhen naturally wanted it. When the baby's unique milk fragrance floated into his nose, the tears came out again.

The baby girl is the daughter of that child——

Time past quickly.

Gu Zhen didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

Nie Xun was very helpless about his wife's behavior.

He wanted to directly cut off Gu Zhen's thoughts. It's good for the two families to maintain superficial friendship. There's no need to make deep friends and talk about relatives.

Gu Zhen hung his head to coax the child. His voice was like a mosquito. It seemed that a high voice would annoy Nie Xun.

In the face of this situation, Rao is a rational person like Nie Xun. He can't help but feel compassion, and the calm heart lake is also in chaos.

"I didn't mean to force you to recognize me this time. I just wanted to see if you were doing well and where I could help..." Gu Zhen said in a low voice. The more she did, Nie Xun was not tough.

Nie Xun said, "I'm fine."

Gu Zhen said in an almost praying tone, "can I... Can I often come and see the child?"

Nie Xun said, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient."

Gu Zhen's face turned white completely, as if someone stabbed her in the heart with a knife.

Zhu Qingning came over and just heard these two words. He glanced at her husband angrily.

Why only say half?

She said, "Mrs. Liu likes the child very much?"

Gu Zhen knows that Zhu Qingning is her daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, her son can't recognize her, let alone her daughter-in-law.

"Naturally, I like it tight."

Zhu Qingning said, "if Mrs. Liu likes it, I'll take my children to the house when I'm free?"

Nie Xun's face changed, but he didn't interrupt her.

Gu Zhen quickly nodded and couldn't help but say, "how can this be regarded as nagging? If you come, you can always live."

"Chengyun has some identity now... To prove his innocence, it's natural not to publicize it. All the visitors in the family can push it. Mrs. Liu should not take his just words to heart. That's his temperament." Zhu Qingning said with a smile, "first let the wet nurse hold the child down and change it?"

After Zhu Qingning said this, Gu Zhen felt much better and gave birth to some hope.

She handed the child to the waiting nanny. After thinking about it, she took off the bracelet she was wearing.

"I came in a hurry today and didn't bring any meeting gifts. I looked at the fate of the child with me and couldn't like it at a glance." Gu Zhen asked Zhu Qingning to accept the meeting gift for the child and said modestly, "this bracelet has been with me for many years. Don't dislike it for some years."

Zhu Qingning's eyes are not bad. Naturally, he can see that the gift given by Gu Zhen is really good.

Since grandma gave it to her granddaughter, she accepted it impolitely, so as not to make each other sad.

Reluctantly watching the child being carried away by the nanny, Gu Zhen didn't take back his sight until he disappeared.

"I also know Lanting's temperament. If it's because of this..."

Nie Xun knew what she was going to say and flatly refused, "No."

Gu Zhen could only swallow the rest of the words back to his stomach. Zhu Qingning looked at the hard relaxed atmosphere and became stiff, helpless in his heart.

"Then why?"

Nie Xun said directly, "I have no intention of becoming an official again."

"Why?" Gu Zhen didn't seem to expect that he would give this answer. He couldn't help asking, "is it the Orchid Pavilion that refused?"

Nie Xun is Jiang Pengji's cousin by name and blood.

A family, not to mention completely eccentric, but there is some secret care.

As an old minister, what's wrong with Nie Xun choosing the Lord and assistant again?

Nie Xun lowered his eyes and said, "no, it's my own reason."

No matter how bad the original letter is, if he has any disagreement with Nie Xun, the only person who can deal with him is Huang song.

Nie Xun crossed Huang song and designed to kill Yuan Xin.

No matter what the reason for his doing so, it is also a betrayal of Huang song in the final analysis.

At the same time, this is also the most taboo measure of the superior.

The courtiers died because of personal discord. Who knows what to do?

When Nie Xun made up his mind to press the original letter, he had already made a decision.

If Huang song wins, he will resign from Huang song and completely retire.

If Jiang Pengji wins, he will no longer be an official and learn from his father-in-law to be a teacher.
