Chapter 104
In Xiao's cell.In order to prove his innocence, Xiao Teng locked himself in the cell. When did he find the real culprit, when will he come out.
Now the truth about Yuan Xiang came to light, so Xiao Zhuo went to find Xiao Teng in the cell and told Xiao Teng that he could come out.
He said that he locked himself in the cell, but Xiao Teng, as the head of the Xiao family, who in the Xiao family would dare to treat him badly and treat him like a prisoner?
Although the prison cell Xiao Teng stayed in was too narrow compared to normal houses, it was clean and tidy, and it was far, far better than a real prison cell.
Xiao Teng was sitting on a chair drinking fragrant tea at this time, then Xiao Zhuo came over and opened the cell, looked at Xiao Teng and said: "Father, the real culprit has been found out, it was Yan Lie who did it."
Although Xiao Teng stayed in the cell and never went out, every day someone would come to report to him the situation outside, so he knew about Mu Lai's affairs.
Hearing this, Xiao Teng put down the teacup, his eyes flashed fiercely: "I didn't expect that Yan Lie did it, and he wanted to put the blame on me, it's really despicable!"
Xiao Zhuo didn't speak, and there was no extra emotion on his face, he stood outside the cell.
Xiao Teng stood up, flicked the non-existent dust on his arm, looked at Xiao Zhuo dissatisfied with his eyes, and his voice became a little colder: "Speaking of these things are also caused by you. If you can calm down If you are more mature, how could you be subjected to fierce calculations? You also involved being a father."
Xiao Zhuo still didn't speak when he heard the words, with a cold face.
Xiao Teng didn't care that Xiao Zhuo didn't speak, walked out of the cell, and continued: "Six years ago, you ran away from home because of that Yunhua, I think you were young and immature at that time, so when you came back, there was no He didn't punish you harshly, but just let you kneel in the Xiao family ancestral hall for half a month. Now that you are 20 years old and should be mature, you can still fight with others because of him? Injure yourself too! "
Xiao Zhuo's complexion sank, Xiao Teng gave him a cold look and continued: "I've let you go crazy for so long, so you should calm down. If it's purely curiosity-seeking, then just play It's okay, but you've been playing for so long and it should be enough. If you're really tempted, then I'll tell you as soon as possible, my Xiao family never needs an infatuated species. "
Xiao Zhuo's face completely sank when he heard this, and he looked at Xiao Teng: "Father, have you ever been tempted?"
Xiao Teng didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to ask such a question, he was slightly taken aback, then his face became gloomy as if he thought of something.
Seeing that Xiao Teng was silent, Xiao Zhuo looked at Xiao Teng very seriously: "Father, do you love my mother?"
A trace of irritability appeared on Xiao Teng's face, and he looked at Xiao Zhuo with rather displeased eyes: "If I don't love her, why should I marry her?"
Xiao Zhuo frowned: "How long has it been since you visited her? My mother has been going to Qingtan Temple to pray for Buddha for 15 years. Have you ever visited her?"
Xiao Teng's expression became more and more unhappy: "As the head of the family, how many things do I have to do every day? If I don't go to see her, it means I don't love her?"
Xiao Zhuo's tone was a bit aggressive: "If you really love her, you won't want to see her. You are married to my mother, why do you want a child after decades?"
Xiao Teng's face was gloomy, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Zhuo: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Xiao Zhuo was expressionless, and looked at Xiao Teng with heavy eyes: "The reason why my mother went to Qingtan Temple was because she finally believed that you didn't love her, right? That's why she left disheartened. I stayed for 15 years. And the reason why you didn't want children at that time was because you had someone you loved in your heart, right?"
Xiao Teng's face was extremely ugly, and he said angrily: "Presumptuous! You are becoming more and more rude now!"
Xiao Zhuo was unmoved by Xiao Teng's anger, with a resolute face, he looked at Xiao Teng extremely seriously: "Father, do you still remember the person you loved? The person who asked you to send the fire beads."
The anger on Xiao Teng's face froze when he heard this, he looked at Xiao Zhuo with surprise in his eyes, then Xiao Teng's anger disappeared, his expression was a little lost, as if he remembered something.
Looking at Xiao Teng's appearance in his early forties, he has regular facial features and is quite majestic, but his eyes are particularly bad, and he seems to be very heartless, like a stone, which can't be warmed even if he covers it.
It's just that now Xiao Teng seems to have remembered something that made him very unforgettable and beautiful, and those languid eyes have become somewhat deeply affectionate.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhuo's voice was cold and cold: "Since my father has also moved his heart, he can naturally understand the feeling. Some people can't just let go."
Xiao Zhuo's words seemed to have awakened Xiao Teng, and he saw that the affection that had just appeared in his eyes disappeared, replaced by endless indifference and ruthlessness.
Xiao Teng looked at Xiao Zhuo: "I said before, I lost my fire bead. Moreover, there is no one in this world who really can't let go. People can't just live for those illusory feelings."
Xiao Zhuo sullenly said, "So for father, rights are more important than feelings?"
The corner of Xiao Teng's mouth curled into a cold arc: "For me, it's enough for me to taste that kind of feeling once, and I won't use my all to protect it from life to life, so I won't let it become mine. Opportunity in the underbelly."
Xiao Zhuo clenched his fists and looked at Xiao Teng disappointedly: "So you abandoned her?"
Xiao Teng's face was still cold: "As I said just now, the Xiao family doesn't need infatuated species."
After Xiao Teng finished speaking, he walked away with a cold face, Xiao Zhuo said coldly: "Father, I think you never know what true love is, you only love yourself."
Hearing this, Xiao Teng stopped in his tracks, but he didn't turn around, nor did he speak.
Xiao Zhuo looked at Xiao Teng's ruthless back: "For you, when you need that feeling, you let it exist, and when you don't need it, you ruthlessly throw it away. But father, your move It’s really not what men did, because you hurt two women who were sincere to you. People like you are not worthy of having someone who truly loves you, so the woman you sent the fire beads will never come back, and I Your mother will never forgive you."
"I have used you as a role model since I was a child, and I dreamed of becoming a person like you when I grow up, but now I find that you are not as perfect as I imagined, you are ruthless and selfish. You are a very good Xiao family." But that's all. As a lover who made a promise together, you didn't keep the vow you should fulfill. As a husband, you didn't give my mother the love you should give her. These two people, You are not worthy."
Xiao Teng froze, but still did not speak.
Xiao Zhuo had no expression on his face, and said clearly every word: "As my father, I am very grateful to you for teaching me. However, I will not become a person like you, I will protect the person who made me The person who puts it on the tip of his heart."
Xiao Zhuo had a handsome face and a firm tone: "Father, if you miss some people, you really won't be around. Our time is too long, and I just want to have people around me in the future. He. You want supremacy, variable power, I want only him, nothing more."
After a long time, Xiao Teng finally said: "Since you have already made up your mind, then we don't need to talk about it."
Xiao Zhuo looked at the back who was still stubborn and indifferent, his tone became weaker, and there was a hint of helplessness in his firm eyes: "Father, the limit of my mother's cultivation is coming..."
Xiao Teng was startled when he heard the words, he didn't say anything, and then left the cell of Xiao's family.
……
The Qingtan Temple is quiet and elegant, no matter what the outside world is like, it will always be peaceful, making people feel peaceful.
In the meditation room, a woman with black hair hanging down, dressed in plain clothes, kneeling on a futon, twirling a string of Buddhist beads in one hand, knocking on a wooden fish with the other, with her eyes closed, chanting Buddhist scriptures in her mouth.
This woman was in her early thirties, she had no makeup on her face, but she was dignified and elegant, with a pious and indifferent expression.
The closed door behind her was gently pushed open from the outside, and then a strange yet familiar voice came from behind: "Qingrong."
When Ruan Qingrong heard this voice, the wooden fish in his hand stopped, and the Buddhist scriptures in his mouth stopped, and there was a trace of surprise in his opened eyes.
Ruan Qingrong looked back, and saw Xiao Teng standing outside the door, his face was still indifferent and unfeeling.
Ruan Qingrong was just slightly taken aback, then stood up calmly, looked at Xiao Teng and said in a low voice, "Why did the master come here today?"
Xiao Teng walked into the room with a cold voice: "I met Zhuo Er today, and he said that your cultivation is about to reach its limit?"
Ruan Qingrong walked to the table beside him, raised his hand to signal Xiao Teng to sit down.Xiao Teng went to the wooden bench and sat down, then Ruan Qingrong poured a glass of water for Xiao Teng, said with a faint smile: "This kid is quick-talking, in fact, the master doesn't need to care."
Hearing this, Xiao Teng frowned slightly and looked at Ruan Qingrong: "Don't worry about it? If you can't break through the realm when the deadline is up, you have to..." Xiao Teng didn't say the last two words.
Ruan Qingrong smiled faintly, sat on the wooden bench, twirling Buddhist beads in his hands, with a nonchalant indifference on his face, and said softly: "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles. It is like dew and electricity, so you should observe it in this way. That's why I said, master don't care."
Xiao Teng was startled for a moment, looking at Ruan Qingrong who really didn't care at all.Sure enough, he hadn't seen Ruan Qingrong for a long time, and Ruan Qingrong had changed a lot.
Xiao Teng was worried at first, but when he saw Ruan Qingrong not caring at all, that worry turned into impatience, and he frowned and said, "Are you blaming me?"
Ruan Qingrong was startled when he heard the words, looked at Xiao Teng in puzzlement and asked, "Why did the master say that?"
Xiao Teng frowned: "I told you before that there is a past between me and her, so why do you still have to worry about it? You even took your own life to get angry!"
It was only then that Ruan Qingrong understood what Xiao Teng was talking about, and then shook her head helplessly: "It turns out that the master misunderstood. I don't care that my cultivation is about to end, it's not because of the master."
Xiao Teng obviously didn't believe it, and still looked at Ruan Qingrong with a frown.
Ruan Qingrong twirled the beads in his hand, and said calmly: "I really cared about it when I first got married. After all, as a daughter's family, who doesn't want to be able to connect with my husband after marriage? But I'm afraid the master has forgotten, I It has been 15 years since I came to Qingtan Temple. Although our life span is very long compared with ordinary people, 15 short years is nothing, but time is time after all, and these 15 years are enough for me to really let go of everything gone."
When Ruan Qingrong said these words, he was really indifferent, and he really didn't care at all.
It was only then that Xiao Teng believed that everyone had really let go and didn't care about it, and only he was still brooding about it.
