Chapter 216 I Just Want to See My Daughter
They said they didn't want to see anyone, and they did arrange people to guard Xie Wan Ning's yard.
They know a little about what's going on over there.
But who would have thought... that man would suddenly come here and kneel down?
Mrs. Xie was a little confused for a moment. What was Xie Songlin doing?
"Leave him alone, just let him kneel down." Mrs. Xie said lightly.
Who knows what Xie Songlin wants to do when he does this?
Maybe it's because she is soft-hearted.
Maybe he wanted to ask for something for Xie Wan Ning and her daughter!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xie's face became even uglier.
The old woman cautiously glanced at Madam Xie's expression and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "It wouldn't look good to have Master kneeling outside all the time. If Master and that mother and daughter knew the truth... wouldn't it be troublesome?"
Madam Xie snorted coldly and said, "If he wants to kneel, that's his business. I guess he's trying to plead for that mother and daughter. I want to see how long he can keep kneeling."
The old woman nodded immediately in response and didn't dare to say anything else for a while.
"Go out and wait."
Mrs. Xie said, "I'm tired."
The maid didn't dare to say anything. She quickly leaned over to Madam Xie's ear and whispered, "Madam, I'll wait on you and rest soon, okay?"
Madam Xie shook her head: "Go out and guard it, I'll take care of it myself."
The old woman knew that she was upset and didn't dare to say anything more. She quickly and carefully retreated without making any sound.
After the old woman left, Mrs. Xie's face darkened slightly.
Putting down the glass of water in her hand, Mrs. Xie went to the flush toilet that had been repaired at the back to use the toilet, and then lay down to rest.
It was quiet outside, but Mrs. Xie was in a state of confusion. She tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Mrs. Xie was about to fall asleep when she heard a noise outside again.
Mrs. Xie suddenly woke up and called out, "Who's outside?"
It was still the old woman's voice, sounding cautious, as she said to Madam Xie, "Madam, it's this servant."
"Come in and talk." Mrs. Xie said.
The old woman hurried around to the bed behind the screen, and Madam Xie said, "Light the candle."
The old woman hurriedly lit the candle by the bed.
Mrs. Xie had already sat up, leaning against the soft pillow. She seemed sleepy, and her voice was soft. "What's wrong?"
"Madam, the master is still kneeling outside and can't hold on any longer." The old woman carefully observed Madam Xie's expression and said respectfully but uneasily.
"Still kneeling?"
Madam Xie frowned: "For that mother and daughter, you have perseverance."
"Madam, it doesn't look like that." The old woman lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the master has ordered people to keep the mother and daughter under guard and no one is allowed to come in or out."
"I also asked the eldest house to settle some silver for them and give it to them after the old man's birthday."
"is it?"
Madam Xie paused pressing her temples, then opened her eyes, somewhat surprised. "What's this all about? A self-torture scheme? What does the old lady say?"
"The old lady didn't care. It seems that the old man heard the news and sent someone to investigate, but the old lady's people called him away and told him not to do anything."
Mrs. Xie listened and found it very amusing. She sighed and said helplessly, "You are learning more and more."
"Madam, I see... there is something hidden." The old woman came closer to Madam Xie and said something cautiously.
Mrs. Xie thought for a moment and said, "Please invite him in. I want to see what he has to say."
Since I can’t sleep anyway, I might as well call someone in.
"Yes, I'll go there in a hurry." The old woman said hurriedly.
This old woman has been serving Madam Xie since she was a child, and she hopes that she and the master can live in harmony.
Naturally, I don't want others to take advantage of me.
After a while, Xie Songlin was invited in.
It should be said that he was helped in by someone.
He is old and a civil servant. How could his knees bear kneeling for most of the night?
Mrs. Xie was a little surprised to see him in such a mess and couldn't help but frown.
However, as soon as the person came in, before Mrs. Xie could say anything or move, Xie Songlin knelt down in front of the window again with a thud.
Mrs. Xie leaned over and didn't have time to support herself, so she simply leaned back.
The old woman was also surprised and went forward to help, but when she saw that the lady didn't react and leaned back, she didn't dare to say anything and just retreated quietly.
Madam Xie looked at Xie Songlin, who was kneeling on the ground, and raised her eyebrows slightly. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing, my husband?"
Xie Songlin looked up and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Madam Xie was willing to speak. "Madam is finally willing to see me."
Mrs. Xie looked at him without saying anything.
Xie Songlin didn't hesitate. He looked at Madam Xie and continued, "Madam, I was wrong. I'm here to admit my mistake to you today."
"Whether you forgive me or not, I have to make it clear to you."
Mrs. Xie was a little surprised and looked at him: "What do you want to tell me?"
Xie Songlin took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision. "I did something wrong over twenty years ago, and I've been hiding it from my wife all these years... I feel guilty."
"Now, I can't stand it anymore."
"I want to confess to my wife!"
Mrs. Xie grabbed the thin silk quilt and clenched her fists. She looked at Xie Songlin anxiously, not knowing what to say.
"You say." Mrs. Xie gritted her teeth and tried to make herself look more relaxed.
Xie Songlin didn't get up, and Madam Xie didn't call him to get up. Xie Songlin just knelt in front of the window and explained to Madam Xie word by word what happened that year...
More than half an hour later, Xie Songlin told Mrs. Xie everything he needed to say.
"I was plotted against back then, but I still haven't found out who did it."
Xie Songlin's face was filled with guilt: "It's my fault too. I was young and ignorant back then, I didn't understand people's hearts, I shouldn't have drunk, and someone gave me some low-quality drugs. I'm also at fault."
"I shouldn't have made a mistake. I was afraid you'd find out and get mad at me, so I kept it a secret."
"If I had told you earlier, perhaps you would have been prepared and our daughter wouldn't have suffered this."
"Now that I've spoken out, I won't ask for anything else. Even if Madam refuses to forgive me, I have nothing to say."
"I only ask Madam to tell me who my daughter is. I just want to see my daughter once."
"The rest... whatever I have and the Xie family has, I'm willing to give it all to you and your daughter as compensation..."
Xie Songlin spoke every word with great emotion.
It can be seen from his appearance that he sincerely admitted his mistake and knew how to repent.
Mrs. Xie looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself, opening and closing her mouth, as if she had no idea how to start.
"Ma'am... say something."
Xie Songlin's eyes were also red, and it was unclear whether it was because he was talking about something sad, or because he had been up all night. "Who is our daughter? I just want to see her. All the private property under my name will be compensated to you and your mother, okay?"
