Chapter 30 The hat is faintly green
Xie Yun looked at Xie Ying, who was in tears, with pity. He couldn't help but reach out his hand to her and said to Xie Xiu, "Can I hold this child?"
Xie Xiu looked at Xie Ying's pitiful little face, pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then handed her to Xie Yun.
Xie Yun carefully held her in his arms. At first, he seemed not to be used to it and his posture was a little stiff. It was Xie Xiu who helped him adjust his posture, and Xie Ying finally felt a little more comfortable.
She opened her tearful eyes and looked at Xie Yun pitifully, but she was secretly thinking in her heart: This cheap grandfather can't even hold a child. Could it be that he has never held one before?
She didn't know at the moment that Xie Yun had rarely held a child.
Because he believed that a gentleman should hold his grandchildren instead of his sons, he never held a son. He only held his daughters occasionally, but the number of times was so rare that he could count on two hands.
So for him, he hadn't held a child for many years, so naturally he was not used to it.
If Xie Ying's tearful face had not made her look so pitiful that it aroused his pity, he would not have wanted to hold the child for the first time in his life.
In fact, as soon as Xie Ying was taken into his arms, Xie Yun felt a little regretful, worried that she would suddenly cry.
Unexpectedly, Xie Ying stayed obediently in his arms, not crying or making a fuss, not moving at all, just looking at him with her tearful eyes.
Xie Yun felt that her moist eyes were very similar to those of the cat slave he kept at home, and his heart suddenly became incredibly soft.
Even his originally cold and wary eyes instantly turned loving: "Has the child been named? What do you usually call him?"
"My nickname is Yingying, that's what I usually call you."
Xie Xiu said this calmly, and then asked seriously, "Master Xie, are you sure that I am your son who has been missing for many years?
To be honest, I once suffered a head injury and have lost all my memory since then. I don’t remember any of my past at all, and I don’t know who I was before.
I heard that Lord Xie's legitimate son has been missing for many years. I believe that Lord Xie will not recognize a son randomly, but I still think that Lord Xie should be more cautious.
Otherwise, if I make a mistake, I will be ridiculed as a child and delay Master Xie's search for his legitimate son, which will be my fault."
His tone was respectful but cold, as if Xie Yun was not his biological father but a stranger.
These words were like a blunt knife, stabbing Xie Yun's heart, making him feel both pain and anger.
He frowned and looked at Xie Xiu, instinctively wanting to scold him, but seeing that Xie Xiu's face had become much more mature than before, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
But Xie Xiu continued, "It's not that I'm dissatisfied with you, sir, or that I don't want to be your son. It's just that this matter is too important to me. You are a Hanlin scholar, and I really don't dare to acknowledge you as my father.
If I am not your biological child, how would I cope if you found out where you are? How would I face my biological father?
Xie Yun’s forehead veins throbbed wildly: “!!!”
Although Xie Xiu said this very humbly, it was also very reasonable.
But he just felt it was extremely harsh!
Even though eleven years have passed, he can still find his former self in Xie Xiu's face.
This person is his eldest son who has been away from home for eleven years. There is no mistake!
But listen to how this bastard talks?
He always calls himself "young man" and "sir", saying that he has no face to face his biological father!
Could it be that this bastard wants to find a wild father for himself?
The more Xie Yun thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that the hat on his head had turned slightly green.
He just noticed the gazes from all around, but he didn't dare to get angry at Xie Xiu.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "I remember there's a black mole on my son's right wrist. If you're worried, why don't you show me your right wrist so I can see if there's a black mole there?"
Xie Xiu's face changed when he heard that. He silently pulled up his sleeve, revealing his fair right wrist.
I saw that there was indeed a black mole on his wrist.
Although Xie Yun was angry, he couldn't help but feel excited when he saw the familiar black mole on his wrist: "I was right, you are my Xiu'er!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Chen laughed excitedly: "Hahahaha - Mr. Xie is really worrying too much. I have personally confirmed Mr. Xie's identity, otherwise how would I dare to report it to the capital?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng, who had escorted Xie Yun here, laughed and said, "That's right. The Black Unicorn Guards are always cautious and would never make such a mistake! Master Xie is really being too careful."
He helped Xie Yun find his eldest son who had been missing for many years, and this man's daughter was almost swapped with Xu's. This was a great achievement.
Both of them are smart people, how could they miss such an opportunity right in front of them?
Naturally, one is eager to take credit for oneself.
Xie Xiu pretended not to hear the subtle meaning in their words and looked at Xie Yun with complicated eyes, looking somewhat embarrassed and at a loss.
He asked anxiously, "Are you really my father?"
Xie Yun didn't expect him to show such admiration. The anger he had felt earlier dissipated unconsciously, leaving only emotion and excitement.
"I am indeed your biological father." Xie Yun couldn't help but bite the word "biological" and continued, "You have worked hard over the years. The family has been worried about you, but no one expected that you would be injured and lose your memory and have been living here all this time."
Xie Xiu frowned, his expression somewhat distressed and confused. "Unfortunately, I can't remember anything now, and I don't know why I was injured back then."
Xie Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously comforted him: "If you really can't remember, then don't think about it. You are lucky to be alive, so don't force yourself to do anything else."
Then he added, "Pack up and come back to the capital with me. Although this place is not bad, you are still young after all. You can't keep wasting time here."
Just as he said this, he suddenly noticed a head peeking out from the door. It looked like a little boy.
Xie Yun looked at the child in surprise, forgetting what he had originally wanted to say. He asked Xie Xiu anxiously, "Is that child your eldest son?"
When Xie Xiu turned around, he saw Xie Tang peeking over.
Then he frowned and said, "Come out! What are you doing sneaking around like that? What do you look like?"
Xie Tang quickly came to Xie Xiu, stood obediently, and secretly looked at Xie Yun and Xie Ying in his arms.
Xie Yun looked at him and saw that he looked exactly like Xie Xiu, and felt as if he was seeing Xie Xiu when he was young.
He felt complicated, but still asked lovingly, "I am your grandfather. Tell me, what is your name?"
Xie Tang blinked and said honestly, "My name is Xie Tang. Are you really my grandfather? I heard that you are a high-ranking official from the capital. Are you very powerful?"
Xie Yun suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Although he was a Hanlin scholar, there was a Black Kirin Guard standing next to him. How could he admit that he was really powerful?
If he admitted this in front of the Black Kylin Guards, it would be too arrogant.
So he could only smile helplessly: "If I wasn't that powerful, would you still recognize me as your grandfather?"
Unexpectedly, Xie Tang said seriously: "Since you are my grandfather, how could I not acknowledge you? People say that a son will not despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog will not despise his family's poverty.
Even if Grandfather is just an old farmer carrying manure in the countryside, as long as you are my father's father, you will always be Tang'er's grandfather!"
He spoke with great conviction, but Xie Yun was completely speechless. "What do you mean by 'old peasant carrying manure'? Does this kid even know how to use metaphors? Does he look exactly like an old peasant carrying manure in the countryside? This is too lame!"
Even when he was still in the countryside, he had never carried manure!
Because he was a promising student, his family supported him in his studies and never let him do any heavy labor.
I will never let him pick up manure!
This child has clear eyes and is a bright and intelligent child, but what he said was really a bit indecent. How does Xie Xiu usually teach him?
Xie Yun suddenly felt a little dissatisfied with Xie Xiu.
So he didn't even bother asking Xie Xiu's opinion, and directly said, "Pack up and prepare to return to Beijing with me. The child is already so old, and we can't let him neglect his studies!"
