Huang Fuchen did not follow them to Xiazhou. The place he wanted to go was in a different direction from Xiazhou. After saying goodbye to Ye Zhen, he went to find Qi Ruoshui.
Qi Zixi was wandering outside. He wanted to see Qi Ruoshui, but he didn't know what to say. He almost died in the hands of Qi Ruoshui. When he learned that Qi Ruoshui was his biological mother, he didn't believe it at all.
How could a mother be willing to kill her own son? Did she hate him so much?
"Xi 'er, what are you doing here?" Huang Fuchen asked in a low voice.
"Uncle, I want to see her." Qi Zixi glanced at Huang Fuchen cautiously, as if he was afraid that he would not agree.
Huang Fuchen looked back at Ye Zhen and saw her nod gently. He said to Qi Zixi, "Then go see her. But no matter what she says, you don't have to take it to heart."
Qi Zixi's face lit up with joy. "Yes, uncle."
"Hong Ying, take Xi 'er to see Qi Ruoshui." Ye Zhen said to Hong Ying.
Qi Ruoshui knew that Huangfu Chen had come. She knew that he had come to take her away. He would take her back to Ox Village. From then on, she would only face endless punishment. The people of Ox Village would not forgive her for taking out the book about Gu poison, nor would they forgive her for what happened between her and Huangfu Julan. She would rather die than go back to Ox Village, that damned place.
For them, Ox Village was a paradise, but for her, it was purgatory.
"Qi Ruoshui, someone wants to see you." Hong Ying said to Qi Ruoshui, who was locked in the woodshed again.
"In fact, anyone can see me if they want to." Qi Ruoshui turned her back to them. She didn't want to see anyone.
Huang Fuchen said faintly, "The King of Xiliang has ordered the closure of the Priest Hall. There is no Witch King in Xiliang anymore. You are now just a prisoner."
Qi Ruoshui turned her head angrily. "Huang Fuchen, how dare you come to see me? If it weren't for you, my Priest Hall wouldn't have ended up like this. It's all your fault!"
"If you didn't take my master to the Priest Hall, you wouldn't have ended up like this." Ye Zhen said lightly.
"Isn't everything I've done for your Huangfu Clan? Did I do anything wrong? Your Huangfu Clan's inaction caused the people who followed you to hide in a broken place like Ox Village. Did you ask them if they were willing to stay there? This boundless world is as beautiful as a brocade, yet they had to stay in a damned place where they could only see mountains and rivers. Even if you don't find it annoying, I find it disgusting."
Huang Chen said indifferently. "Ox Village never stops anyone from leaving. since you didn't leave, naturally, you like it. you like it. Ox Ox Village.
Qi Ruoshui hated Huangfu Chen to the core.
"Xi wants to see you." Huangfu Chen glanced at her indifferently with a hint of warning in his eyes. "If you still have a little conscience, you should know that Xi 'er is the son you gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. In order to raise him, I spent a lot of effort. You'd better cherish him."
"I can't even be sure of my own life and death. You want me to cherish a little boy who has never thought about it?" Qi Ruoshui asked.
Huangfu Chen patted Qi Zixi's shoulder. "What she said is neither true nor false. You don't have to take it to heart."
Qi Zixi nodded with a bitter smile. He had just heard Qi Ruoshui's words. In her mind, he was probably not as good as her servant.
The others stood far away, leaving only the mother and son in the woodshed.
"Are you really my mother?" Qi Zixi looked at Qi Ruoshui and asked.
Qi Ruoshui lazily glanced at him, "Yes, I gave birth to you, but after I gave birth to you, I was taken away. I know what you want to know, that's right, I lied to you before, Huangfu Jiulan is not your father, your biological father is still in the capital."
"Who is he?" Qi Zixi asked immediately. He knew what his grandmother cared about the most. For his grandmother, he must find out about his own life so that she could put down the guilt and burden for the rest of her life.
"You want to know?" Qi Ruoshui smiled. "Xi 'er, let me go. I'll tell you the truth."
Qi Zixi was stunned. "Are you serious?"
"I'm your mother. There are all parents in the world. Even if I did something wrong before, you can't blame me. Xi 'er, do you want to see me tortured to death? Do you have the heart to do that?" Qi Ruoshui pretended to be pitiful and questioned Qi Zixi.
"When you used me, did you hesitate?" Qi Zixi did not go forward to untie the rope. Instead, he looked at Qi Ruoshui and asked seriously.
Qi Ruoshui immediately said, "Of course I don't have the heart to do that. You are my son. How can I let you die?"
"Is that so?" Qi Zixi smiled. "But uncle said that sending you back to Ox Village is the best way to protect you. If you stay here, the King of Xiliang and the others will not let you go."
Qi Ruoshui's expression changed. "Do you believe everything Huangfu Chen said?"
"If I don't believe my uncle's words, who else can I believe?" Qi Zixi asked. "Since you are not willing to tell me the truth, I will find it out myself."
"Don't think that your biological father is much better than Huangfu Jiulan. Maybe he is a good-for-nothing." Qi Ruoshui sneered. She no longer tempted Qi Zixi to untie her.
Qi Zixi silently looked at her for a while. This woman was already very different from the first time he met her. When he met her in the capital, she was so breathtakingly beautiful, but now she only seemed to be a cynical and vicious woman.
"Uncle is right. You don't deserve to be a mother at all." Qi Zixi said, "I have wanted to know what kind of person my mother is since I was a child. Grandma said that you are a kind and beautiful woman, so I have always thought that my mother should be a very good person."
Qi Ruoshui sneered and said nothing.
"You shouldn't have come back, so that I can always miss my beautiful and kind mother." The bitterness in Qi Zixi's eyes gradually faded, and his expression became more and more firm. "I came to see you not to beg for your kindness, but to find out what kind of person would hurt their own son."
"It seems that Qi Jin taught you well." Qi Ruoshui said sarcastically.
"Yes, grandma taught me to be kind and to know how to be grateful. Her biggest failure is probably having a daughter like you. It is not grandma's fault, but you have become bad yourself." Qi Zixi said, "I have said what I wanted to say, and I will not miss you anymore."
Qi Ruoshui's heart, which had not felt for many years, inexplicably ached when she heard this. She looked up at Qi Zixi and said, "Very well, you can go now. However, I still have to advise you not to look for your biological father. You will not find him. He is already dead."
"Even if he is dead, I want to know who he is," Qi Zixi said.
Qi Ruoshui sneered, "You are looking for trouble."
