Chapter 756: Adopting Godparents

Magistrate Xie looked at his son's indifferent expression, and the doubts in his heart disappeared immediately. At the same time, he still felt a little guilty. Thinking of Ma Shi and Li Geer, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

They are both sons. If Brother Li was half as smart as Brother Yu, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.

Maybe her mother was right. Ma's background determined her vision. That man knew that he was from the wrong family. Ever since he married into the family, he had obeyed his words, been gentle and courteous, and served him very wholeheartedly.

Even if she plotted against those three melons and two dates from time to time, as long as it didn't affect the government's expenses, he would turn a blind eye.

But the talent and talent for reading are truly passed down through blood. No male from the two generations of the Ma family has emerged over the years. He was aware of all the IOUs he needed to get by, and asked Ma for help at every turn.

As an in-law, he didn't pay attention to proper relief, but over the years, Ma's brothers and nephews had no academic attainments, which really disappointed him.

A mediocre family, if they had known that the Ma family's talents were so poor, when they first renewed their relationship, he would rather choose a concubine from a higher family than a daughter from a small family like the Ma family.

Thinking about the Duan family who has been dead for many years, and then thinking about the Ma family who was banned from home, and the son born between the two, it is simply incomparable.

Thinking of this, Magistrate Xie narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Brother Yu who had already sat up straight, and sat down opposite him.

"Things are a little more relaxed in the Yamen today. My father is here to see you. Brother Yu, don't worry, all those thieves have been arrested and brought to justice. They have also signed and deposited their names. My father has handed over the documents and they will be issued soon. When it comes to human life, it shouldn’t be a big problem for Qiuhou to kill.”

Although the thieves were silenced by the poison, they confessed to the crime. Even if the superiors come down to verify, the facts of the crime are irrefutable and cannot be escaped.

Listening to his father's tone, Xie Yu nodded, "My hard-working father worked hard for his son, and the thief was caught and brought to justice. The people of Qing County feel at ease."

"You kid, why are you being polite to your father? Those thieves are so audacious that they even rushed to commit murder in our land. If they don't kill one person as a warning to others, it's hard to bear the anger in my father's heart... You are my son. Those thieves are targeting you mostly because of your father. s reason."

Seeing his son's calm acceptance, Magistrate Xie felt relieved.

"Since my father took up the post of magistrate of Qing County, he has handled many cases, large and small, and offended many people. Some people hold grudges. They dare not attack their father and can only take revenge on his family members. Shan Shan At this point, my father can’t help you and makes you frightened for nothing.”

"But as an official, it is my responsibility to protect the people. They say it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety, and a father cannot do both."

Listening to his father's explanation, Xie Yu looked at him quietly for a while before nodding.

"Father is the official of Qing County, and it is your mission to protect the peace of the people. As sons, we have enjoyed the glory, and naturally we have to bear some risks. As the son of the Xie family, although I cannot share my father's worries, I still want to stand behind my father and do our best. filial piety."

"My father himself said that it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. Grandma has already gone to the temple to pray, and she will definitely bless my father with everything he wants."

When Xie Yu got excited, he raised his hand to touch his chest, his face looked a little ugly, and he coughed in a low voice.

"Didn't you say you're fine? Why does your face look so ugly?" Magistrate Xie asked in a deep voice, looking at his son's breathing.

Without waiting for Xie Yu to answer, Xiao Wen next to him bowed and said,

"I don't know what I know. The wound on Lang Jun's abdomen has scabbed over, but his lungs are internally injured and need to be carefully cared for. The doctor said that this should be done slowly."

"Father, don't worry, it's just a waste of time."

Xie Yu waved her hand to Xiaowen and looked at her father.

"I originally wanted to invite my father to come over. Now that you are here, my son has something to ask for... Although this accident happened, my son does not want to give up on this year's autumn exam. My son has already been delayed once and does not want to miss it again. Doctor Tomorrow After the re-examination, I will recuperate for a few days and then prepare to leave for Fucheng first."

Hearing his son's plan, Magistrate Xie's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly became wary.

This son has always been smart, and it is not easy to fool him. He just wants to move him with affection and reason. As long as he can suppress the stupid things that Brother Li has done and prevent his brother from turning against him, he will be satisfied.

"My son is motivated, and I am very happy as a father. But can your body handle it? The road to Fucheng is far away, and the bumps alone are not conducive to recovery."

Brother Yu is talented in reading and has his youthful demeanor. This is also what makes him happy. Only Brother Yu can improve the Xie family's status by one level.

There is nothing more important than strengthening the tribe and raising the lintel.

"I have also thought about this. My son is thinking that it would be easier to go to Fucheng in advance to recuperate and wait for the exam than to rush there at short notice. At least he can rest for a while."

He has already taken action on what needs to be done, and as for what will happen next, he does not want to participate.

County Magistrate Xie listened to his explanation and thought of the Wu family in Fucheng and his aunt who loved him. With the Wu family taking care of him, he really had nothing to worry about.

"President Zhang Qianer also asked about your situation. He has great expectations for you. He only hopes that this incident will not affect you. If the doctor says you can set off, your father will not stop you. A good man should have I have great ambitions and don’t give up easily, so I thank my son.”

"Thank you dad for making it happen."

Xie Yu's lips curled up at this kind of encouragement.

He knew that his father wanted him to leave instead of wasting time at home. As long as he went to the capital, it would be equivalent to letting go of Xie Li's matter.

Since his father wanted to protect his second brother so much, he would fulfill his wish... Of course, he left something behind. As long as his father could bear it, it would be up to their deep father-son relationship.

"There is one more thing I want to tell my father. I plan to ask the eldest lady of the Bai family to be my godmother. She has saved my son's life twice in a row. Calling her godmother is also my gratitude."

Xie County Magistrate frowned. Is it too hasty to let Bai be Yu'er's godmother?

"As a father, I shouldn't interfere with your decision, but I have to remind you that I've seen that Bai, and she's not a good person."

"Father, you're wrong. You've only seen Aunt Bai once, and good and evil are just your personal opinions. But I think Aunt Bai has a straightforward personality and speaks quickly. And no matter whether she is good or evil, she always shows kindness to her son. This alone is enough."

As Xie Yu said this, thinking about Aunt Bai asking Wen You to bring her midnight snack, he couldn't help but curl his lips,

"Besides, I don't think Aunt Bai is a bad person, it's just that everyone expresses their feelings differently."
