Xie Nuan was still not satisfied and asked: "What happens next? Where is the little girl?"

"Later, when the little girl grew up, she married that man and gave birth to a bunch of babies. The youngest daughter is called Nuannuan."

Xie Nuan's phoenix eyes widened and she blinked hard. She looked down at the golden lock around her neck, and then looked up at her father who had the same phoenix eyes and a smile. Her mind was a little confused, but her intuition made her ask: "Is this the golden lock that the little girl gave to your son?"

"Yes." Xie Yong looked at the lock, his eyes as gentle as water, and the little girl with picturesque features and skin as good as snow seemed to appear in front of his eyes. She handed the golden lock to him with her own hands, her eyes pure and her smile warm.

Xie Nuan let out a 'wow', and it took him a long time to realize, and asked: "Is the little girl the mother?"

Xie Yong smiled and nodded.

Xie Nuan screamed again, looking at the golden lock no longer with disgust, but as if looking at a real heirloom.

When Xie Nuan grew up and got married, she hoped that the golden lock would become her dowry. Unfortunately, her father, who had always been generous to her, stingily refused to give it to her, saying that he would leave the lock to the descendants of the Xie family and not to anyone with a foreign surname.

Before leaving the cabinet, Xie Nuan asked his father: "Why didn't you tell mother?"

Yuan Yizhi never knew the secret of the Xie Mansion's golden lock. That golden lock was a long-life lock that was sold in bulk by Huangguo Temple. Almost all wealthy people had it. There was no special mark on it, so Yuan Yizhi didn't recognize it at all.

Xie Yong smiled and shook his head and said: "Your mother often does good deeds. She has already forgotten the little efforts she made when she was a child. Why should I tell her again? It is enough for me to keep it in mind."

"But if mother knows, you will be more affectionate." Xie Nuan knew that mother was known as a jealous woman and didn't like young and beautiful women to get close to her father.

"Perhaps, if she knows, she will only think that I married her to repay my kindness? Why should I make it more difficult for her?"

Xie Nuan let out a long "Oh" and then asked: "Did dad marry mom to repay his kindness? Is that why he ignored her name as a 'concubine'?"

Xie Yong replied meaningfully: "A man will not sacrifice his life in order to repay a favor."

Being able to pay attention to Yuan Yizhi is indeed related to the desire to repay gratitude, but the more he pays attention, the more he falls in love with this girl. Later, through his association with Yuan Xiuzhi, he got to know his sister in many ways, which strengthened his belief in marrying her.

Rather than saying it was repaying a favor, he preferred to believe that it was fate.

He had married someone else, and she had promised to someone else, but due to a strange combination of circumstances, they finally achieved a happy marriage.

A golden lock locked his lifelong love.

Yuan Yi's first child was her and Xie Yong's eldest daughter, named Xie Chen.

When Xie Chen was one year old, a little boy who was about one year old was sent to the door of Xie Mansion. The little boy was extremely beautiful, with a pair of peach blossom eyes similar to Xie Zhao, the eldest son of Xie Mansion.

There was a lot of excitement in the Xie Mansion for a while, and the servants all speculated that the little boy was Xie Yong's illegitimate son outside.

The little boy's name is Su Qing, the son of Su Baimei, a former famous prostitute.

Su Qing was sent to the Xie Mansion, and Su Baimei attached a letter. The letter said that she did not want to delay her son's future future, so she sent her son to the Xie Mansion for foster care. If Xie Yong and his wife did not want to raise him, they also hoped that for the sake of Su Qing and Xie Zhao being cousins ​​after all, they would allow him to return to the Ding family to recognize his ancestors and give him a clean identity.

Su Baimei hopes that her son will take the imperial examination route in the future and honor his ancestors like Xie Yong. However, the requirements for the imperial examination are very strict for students. They must be of clean origin for three generations, and there must not be anyone in the family who is engaged in low-level labor, such as low-level matchmakers, pawns, thieves, thieves, prostitutes, etc. Su Baimei is obviously in the ranks of prostitutes.

Xie Yong and Yuan Yi were in a big headache. Su Baimei was really a woman who took advantage of the opportunity to climb up. She took advantage of the good nature of Xie Yong and Yuan Yi, so she took this opportunity to find a career for her son.

Xie Yong sent someone to look for Su Baimei again, but there was no trace of Su Baimei.

Even Yuan Yizhi had to admit that this woman was quite extraordinary. Whether she used the opportunity to redeem herself or now cruelly bid farewell to her son, she did it neatly.She is cruel and willing enough, and she is also able to assess the situation, and has scheming and means. If she were a man, maybe Jingguo would have another strange man who can turn clouds and rain with his hands.

It's a pity that as a woman, her life is thinner than paper.

Xie Yong had no choice but to send someone to deliver a letter to the Ding family stating Su Qing's identity, but the Ding family refused to acknowledge it.

Ding Shizhang's abacus was louder than Su Baimei's. He knew that the Ding family was in decline, and Xie Yong was no longer willing to be close to the Ding family, nor would he accept his youngest daughter Ding Jinyun. Now that he had the opportunity, he might as well throw his grandson, who had a shady background, into the Xie Mansion to raise him, and maybe he could get some glory.

Knowing that the Ding family was shameless, Xie Yong and Yuan Yizhi had to take Su Qing in. They couldn't let a little baby who was just one year old live on the street.

Xie Yong recognized Su Qing as his adopted son.

From then on, Su Qing lived in Xie Mansion, studying, studying, and playing together with Xie Zhao and Xie Chen.

When Su Qing was thirteen years old, he went to the examination room and passed the examination as a scholar.

At this time, Xie Zhao was nineteen years old and a scholar.

Xie Zhao was frail since he was a child and could not study too hard. Therefore, Xie Yong did not impose strict requirements on him. He only hoped that his eldest son would be healthy and safe throughout his life.

Su Qing is very smart and studious. When he realized that he was not the biological son of Xie Yong and Yuan Yizhi, he worked harder than all the Xie family children.

At one point, he inherited his biological mother's fierceness and resilience.

Su Qing is not only smart and diligent, but also more and more beautiful. This young man is like a beautiful jade that has been carved thousands of times. He is so dazzling and beautiful that people can't take their eyes away. Not only girls are obsessed with him, but also many men can't help but be dazzled when they see him.

The first time Xuan Yu saw this child, he wanted to snatch him into the palace. If Xie Yong hadn't turned against him in a rage, Xuan Yu would have eaten the young grass.

Xuan Yu expressed regret for this. He had never seen such a beautiful person before, which can be called a miracle on earth.

For this reason, Xuan Yu never forgot about Su Qing, so Su Qing's imperial examination road was smooth sailing, and he became a Jinshi at the age of sixteen, and the emperor appointed him as Tan Hua Lang.

Xuan Yu most likes to appoint beautiful Jinshi to be the top pick. The prettier he is, the less he will be allowed to be the top pick. He will be the third top pick, even if he has the talent to be the top pick.

Xie Yong must be lucky that the late emperor was still alive when he took the scientific examination, otherwise his three-yuan winning streak would have been in vain.

Su Qing, a flower picker, proposed to Xie Yong to marry Xie Nuan, the most beloved daughter of the Xie family.

Xie Yong asked him: "Why not Xie Chen?"

Su Qing was a little shy and said: "Sister Chen and I grew up together. At that time, I really thought that I and Sister Chen had the same mother and father, so I only had a brother-sister relationship with her and no other thoughts about men or women."

Xie Nuan was ten years younger than Su Qing. When Xie Nuan was born, Su Qing was already sensible and knew his own life experience. His eyes on Xie Nuan were completely different from those on Xie Chen.

Xie Chen liked this beautiful young man very much. When she found out that Su Qing actually proposed to her sister, she almost cried to death.

When Xie Nuan, who was only six years old, saw her sister crying, she immediately found Su Qing and beat him up. Although her little fist didn't hurt, it expressed her anger at this beautiful brother for destroying their sisterhood.

Su Qing calmly accepted the sweet little punishment from his fiancée.

Yuan Yizhi was also a little strange. She was worried that Su Qing had a peculiar tendency to like little girls. Why would she fall in love with a six-year-old baby instead of her eldest daughter who is as beautiful as a flower?

Su Qing said: "In ten years, Nuannuan will be sixteen years old, and I will only be twenty-six. It will be just right for me to get married."

Su Qingzhen has been waiting for Xie Nuan for ten years.

When Xie Nuan was sixteen years old, she got married beautifully. During the wedding night, she asked her husband: "Why did you choose me?"

Su Tanhua, who has grown from a beautiful boy to a handsome young man, smiled slyly: "If you say that I have fallen in love with you since you were born, would you believe it?"

Xie Nuan didn't believe it. Who would fall in love with a newborn baby as ugly as red shrimp?

However, she threw herself into her husband's arms with a smile, and that was it. Anyway, she believed that he loved her and had been waiting for her for ten years.
