Chapter 277 Sauvignon Blanc 34
"Sister, you are finally here!"
As soon as Ah Nian saw Ling Xi, she ran to her side anxiously, and then immediately pointed at Wen Xiaoliu and complained to Ling Xi: "Sister, this is the guy. He went crazy when he saw Ah Niang, and he even called her mother like crazy."
Ling Xi first looked Concubine Jing'an up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was fine, and asked, "Mother, are you okay?"
Concubine Jing'an was just frightened, but when she saw Ling Xi, she suddenly felt more confident and was no longer afraid. She shook her head and replied gently, "It's okay, I was just frightened all of a sudden."
Ling Xi felt relieved, and then she saw Wen Xiaoliu, whose eyes were red from crying. She was restrained but still wanted to touch Concubine Jing'an.
Just when he was about to say something, King Haoling and Xuan arrived in a hurry, followed by Tu Shanjing.
When Prince Haoling and Xuanxuan rushed over, they saw Wen Xiaoliu, covered in blood, pinned to the ground by several maids. She struggled hard, looking up at Concubine Jing'an, her face full of tears, and she stretched out her hands, begging her not to leave, "Mother, mother..."
King Hao Ling's body trembled violently, and he became a little unsteady, his face suddenly turning terribly pale.
Xuanxuan's head exploded, he rushed over like crazy, pushed everyone away, and hugged Xiaoliu tightly, "Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao, she is not, she is not...Auntie!"
Wen Xiaoliu was trembling all over, shaking like a dead leaf, crying and shouting: "Mom, she is my mom, brother, I want to ask her why she doesn't want me anymore, is it because I am not good? I will be obedient, I will be very good..."
Xuanxuan buried her head in Xiaoliu's neck, tears falling one by one, "She is not my aunt, my aunt has died in the war. She is Princess Jing'an, she just looks like my aunt."
Xiaoliu's body was shaking like a sieve, and he cried like a wolf, "She said she would come to pick me up, she said she would come to pick me up, I have been waiting for her for more than 70 years! She never came, she doesn't want me anymore! I don't blame her, I just want to know why..."
Xuan hugged her tightly, as if he was holding his whole world.
Min Xiaoliu's crying gradually became quieter, her body still trembling slightly. She could feel her brother's tears falling silently into her collar. He was still the same as when he was a child. No matter how sad he was, he would not let anyone see it.
With trembling hands, Min Xiaoliu slowly put her arms around Xuan's back and hugged him tightly.
Neither of them spoke, they just hugged each other, leaned on each other, and supported each other.
Ling Xi and Anian supported Concubine Jing'an and stood aside, watching the three people on the other side immersed in a world, while the three of them were out of tune with this world.
It was clearly Anian's Hanzhang Palace, but at this moment it seemed like the scene for them to recognize each other as father and daughter, or brother and sister. How ironic.
King Haoling, Tushan Jing, everyone was moved by them, but it seemed as if they didn't see the three of them, mother and daughter.
Ling Xi's expression was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without a single ripple.
In other words, she had imagined this scene a long time ago, and Ling Xi also knew that this day would come sooner or later, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
However, Ling Xi subconsciously looked at Concubine Jing'an's expression, and unexpectedly found that she looked very calm, and even relieved, as if she had let go of something heavy in her heart.
However, Anian felt a sore nose. She finally understood why her father asked Xuan to bring Wen Xiaoliu back. This was not Wen Xiaoliu at all. This was clearly her long-lost "sister", Princess Haoling, Haoling Jiuyao, the daughter of Princess Xilingheng of Xiyan.
What does it mean to look like Xiling Heng? Her mother is not a substitute for Xiling Heng. She is her most beloved mother, unique and one-of-a-kind. But in their mouths, she has become a "woman who looks like Xiling Heng". Why!
Ah Nian turned away, not wanting to look at them. Ling Xi noticed Ah Nian's expression, knowing that she understood the current situation, and did not say anything.
Ling Xi held Concubine Jing'an's hand tightly, not knowing whether to give her strength or to draw strength from her. She only said, "Mother, An Nian and I will help you go back."
Princess Jing'an looked into Ling Xi's eyes, was stunned for a moment, and then just smiled slightly: "Okay."
Anian also said nothing, and together with Ling Xi, she helped Concubine Jing'an back.
They left quietly and few people noticed they had left.
When they returned to Concubine Jing'an's palace, Ling Xi asked everyone to leave, and in a blink of an eye, only the three of them, mother and daughter, were left in the hall.
Ah Nian immediately hugged Concubine Jing'an, her eyes reddened in an instant, and she cried and said aggrievedly: "Mother, don't be sad, you still have me and my sister. You are our best mother, I love you and my sister the most, I don't want to like father anymore."
Ling Xi also went forward and hugged Concubine Jing'an. She didn't say anything, but just hugged her to show her position.
Ling Xi knew that although Concubine Jing'an looked weak, she was actually very tough. Over the years, everyone in the outside world thought that her mother was a dodder that could only survive by clinging to the big tree of her father. But she knew that her mother was a lily blooming on a cliff, taking root in the most dangerous place but blooming the most beautiful flower.
Concubine Jing'an gently stroked Anian's hair, her expression gentle: "This is good, I am not sad, Axi and Anian, don't be angry."
Concubine Jing'an's reaction was within Ling Xi's expectations, but beyond Anian's expectations. However, it was a good thing that Aniang was not sad.
It was not until Ah Nian was coaxed out of Concubine Jing'an's palace happily that she remembered to ask, "Sister, why don't you think Ah Niang is sad?"
"Because my mother's heart is at peace." Ling Xi replied.
Ah Nian: “???”
Why didn't she understand what her sister said?
Ling Xi pinched An Nian's chubby face and smiled softly, but her eyes were bright.
A'niang used to be a deaf and dumb orphan. Although she was beautiful, there was nothing special about her in the eyes of outsiders.
Their father is the king of Haoling Kingdom, and he is also very handsome, and there are countless noble ladies who want to marry him.
Therefore, when my father fell in love with my mother, and she was the only one in Haoling's harem for hundreds of years, my mother would be frightened and hesitant.
She would wonder why King Hao Ling treated her so well, did he really love her? But why did she feel that the love was so superficial, everything was so unreal.
What did King Hao Ling love about her? Her appearance or her temperament? If her appearance faded, if he knew that she was not such a gentle person, would he still love her?
Without his love, what could she do? What would happen to her two daughters?
So, when A Niang knew today that her father was using her as a substitute, all her uncertainties and fears had answers, and she felt relieved.
Moreover, Ling Xi saw clearly that in their mother's heart, the most important people were her and Anian, her two daughters. As for the love of their father, she did not ask for it.
Without love, one feels free. A'niang has no love for her father, so naturally she would not feel sad about being Xiling Heng's substitute.
