He held Xie Ying in his arms and looked at the newcomer in confusion: "Shi Tou, what did you mean by my dad just now?"
The man was called Liu Qingshi, still a teenager, and everyone usually called him Shitou.
He looked at Xie Xiu with sparkling eyes and said excitedly, "Xie Langjun, it's your father! He's a high-ranking official in the capital! Now he's here to see you!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a noisy sound behind him, and then the door of the Xie family was pushed open from the outside.
Xie Xiu, Liu Qingshi and Xie Ying looked over at the same time, and saw two young men in coarse shorts pushing open the door.
Xie Ying guessed that they should be nearby villagers, so she didn't pay much attention to them and instead focused her attention on the man standing in the middle.
The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a beard. He was handsome and had an elegant temperament, giving off a bit of an immortal air.
Xie Ying secretly looked at the man, then looked at Xie Xiu's face.
At first glance, the two people don't look very similar, just slightly similar.
But if you look closely, Xie Xiu still looks a bit like him, just more delicate and handsome.
As she was looking around, Xie Yun also saw her and Xie Xiu.
His expression changed, and he looked a little agitated. He quickly walked up to Xie Xiu and stared at his face intently: "You...are you really Xiu'er?"
Xie couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the uncertainty in his tone: This father can't even recognize his own son, he is really a scumbag!
Xie Xiu's face darkened, and he stepped back while holding Xie Ying. He looked at Xie Yun warily, and asked coldly and defensively, "Who are you? You barged into my house without saying hello. Don't you think that's too much?"
As soon as he said this, Xie Yun opened his eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief, his expression still a little sad: "Xiu'er...you...you really don't remember Dad?"
"You said you were my father?" Xie Xiu's face was still full of vigilance. "What evidence do you have?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a hearty laugh coming from behind Xie Yun: "Hahahaha - Mr. Xie, there's no need to be so nervous. This is Mr. Xie Yun, the Hanlin scholar. He would never impersonate someone or randomly claim a son."
"Are you Master Xie?" Xie Xiu feigned surprise as he looked at Xie Yun, then quickly apologized, "I was rude earlier. I offended Master Xie. I am truly guilty."
After saying this, he pretended to bow, but because he was holding a child in his arms, he could only smile bitterly at Xie Yun.
Xie Yun looked at the child in his arms. How could he argue with him in public?
I could only wave my hands repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not your fault, you don't have to do this."
As he spoke, he secretly looked at Xie Ying in Xie Xiu's arms. Seeing her small face, but her dark eyes looking at him, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
He couldn't help but ask, "I heard you just had a pair of children. Is this your newborn daughter or..."
"She's my little daughter."
Xie Xiu replied calmly, then heard Han Chen say, "Yes, this child was nearly switched by that vicious woman Xu a few days ago. Fortunately, Master Xie discovered the problem in time, otherwise the child would have been exiled to the border as the concubine of a convicted official. It was truly a close call."
These words were like a sharp knife, stabbing Xie Yun's heart.
He had come all the way here on the emperor's orders to confirm Xie Xiu's identity. He hadn't had much rest on the way and was now exhausted both physically and mentally.
He never expected that first his son would deny him, and then he would be stabbed in the heart by the Black Qilin Guards.
Xie Yun knew that the man brought up this matter on purpose, and he couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied.
But he still couldn't help but look at the child in Xie Xiu's arms.
Unexpectedly, when he took a look, he saw the child suddenly looking at him with tears in his eyes, his little mouth slightly pouting, as if he had suffered great injustice and was about to burst into tears.
Xie Yun suddenly felt as if his heart had been shot by an arrow: "!!!"
