Chapter 1447 Stains (2)
Xia Jingshan continued, "I don't know what the child's name is. The last time I saw their mother and son was at the gate of the military area. Pei Zheng's wife took him with her, pointed at me and said, you recognize this man, he caused your father to die in vain Man, you imprint his image in your life, let him pay with blood, and never have peace is your mission in life. These words, to this day, are like being spoken yesterday, and they keep coming to my mind. echoed in my ears.”
That was the biggest secret hidden in Xia Jingshan's heart. In fact, when Xia Jinrong died, he had thought that maybe it was retribution, maybe Pei Zheng's descendants came to seek revenge, but in the following decades he worked conscientiously and served the country. The people did not dare to neglect for a moment, so that they thought they had atone for their sins.
In fact, maybe that was just self-deception and wishful thinking.
The look in the child's eyes was still unforgettable to him. He had never known that a child's eyes could be so shocking. The overflowing hatred seemed to swallow up a man like him who had been a soldier for half his life.
"Grandpa, I heard my great-grandfather mentioned what happened back then. It was not your fault. Adjutant Pei had not been convicted at that time. If he hadn't had a heart attack, he would have been able to come out safely. Besides, you still helped him clean up in the end. Get rid of the charges and clear his name, so grandpa doesn’t have to blame himself.”
Xia Jingshan smiled, his wrinkled face a little sad, "Chen'er, I didn't help him clear his name. A person who is innocent is inherently innocent. No matter how you say it, you have ruined the life of a good young man. As I I have been an adjutant for many years. I should know his character. The person who reported him had solid evidence. I imprisoned him out of anger. I was too arbitrary. I should have found out more."
"Grandpa, this is really not your fault. How could you have expected that he had an invisible heart disease? How could this be all your fault?"
Wushuang sat beside him and took the old man's withered hand, trying to give him some strength.
"Shuangshuang, I don't want to kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. I have an unshirkable responsibility. However, if it takes Jinrong's life, the price will be too tragic. It will be paid with blood." If so, I will fill the gap, my poor, honest and honest son..."
In fact, the old man has never been able to let go of Xia Jinrong's death, especially if it was related to his wrong judgment back then, and he would be even more unable to forgive himself.
"Grandpa, I can't blame you for what happened to my uncle. It was an accident. Otherwise, how could Mu Jinchen's intelligence system still not be able to find a single trace? It's precisely because it was an accident that there is no trace."
Wushuang no longer knew how to comfort the old man. What he was most afraid of was that Xia Jingshan fell into a dead end and could not get out.
Xia Ziwei didn't interrupt. She had relied on JOE all these years and helped outsiders destroy the peace of Xia Garden. She didn't know if this JOE was the kid her grandfather said she wanted to take revenge when she grew up.
Mu Jinchen couldn't see Wushuang's heartache, so he pulled her little hand, held her in his arms, and comforted her silently.
"Grandpa, did you follow the child's whereabouts later?"
Based on Mu Jinchen's understanding of Xia Jingshan, it was impossible for him to leave his child alone.
Xia Jingshan nodded, it was Mu Jinchen who understood him after all, "There were still some in the first few years. The army gave them a lot of pensions for their mother and son. I would also transfer some money to his wife's account in the name of the army from time to time. "
