Chapter 89 You’ve gone too far
Now that we have left the Qishan Mountains, the journey south to Lingnan will go smoothly.
Seeing that Young Master Yan didn't seem to want to talk to her, Xie Fengyue simply saluted him from a distance and wanted to pull Zhe Zhi into the carriage.
However, Gongzi Yan spoke at this moment: "Miss Yue, wait a moment." He walked over quickly and handed over a note. ”
Xie Fengyue didn't answer, just looked at him straightly.
If her guess is correct, this can be regarded as a secret message. As an outsider, she has absolutely no reason to see such a thing, and the content of the secret message is unknown. If it is the kind of thing that can affect the whole body at a moment's notice, she will If you look at it, you are asking for trouble.
She is now closer to Lingnan and misses her relatives even more. There is no reason for her to accept this note.
Young Master Yanduan looked at her, and ignored her as she smiled sadly as her eyes fluttered, and then he also laughed.
"This is about your brother."
The smile on Xie Fengyue's face froze. "Zhezhihuastai, you get out of the car first."
The new carriage was much wider than the old one. The two of them sat on a stool and knelt down a few tables apart.
Xie Fengyue poured him a cup of tea politely: "There is no good tea in Qishan Station, please be considerate."
Young Master Yan did not touch the cup of tea, but instead placed the note on the table. The remaining tea quickly soaked the ink, and the few words on it were blurred.
Xie Fengyue saw it clearly at a glance.
"Thank you for your old acquaintance Wu, the same month."
The Xie family and Wu Gong must be old acquaintances. There is no need to use a secret letter to express this. But the word "same month" means that the Xie and Wu here are not two families, but her elder brothers Xie Lingyun and Wu Wuzi. Wu Qian.
When Gongzi Yan saw her expression change, he knew she had understood.
He put the folding fan back on his waist, picked up the dirty paper with bare hands and asked, "Do you have any clues in your mind?"
Xie Fengyue's throat was tight and her voice was a little deep: "My brother has never left Chen County."
Young Master Yan slowly rubbed the tea stains on the table with his fingertips, "Why don't you think about it more carefully?"
Xie Fengyue seemed to have been stabbed in a sore spot: "How can I not know that he is my biological brother? He grew up with me, studied in the family, and was only twenty or thirty miles away from home, and he has never traveled. But how did he get to know Mr. An who was far away in the Kingdom of Wu!"
Young Master Yan said silently: "It seems that the girl has already made a guess in her mind."
Xie Fengyue took a deep breath, feeling a dull pain in her heart that made her breathing difficult: "Lang Jun always likes to speculate on people's hearts like this, and he always likes to be self-righteous."
"Humph" Gongzi Yan snorted coldly.
Immediately, his posture no longer slouched, he straightened his kneeling posture, and even his tone was serious that Xie Fengyue had never heard before: "You have always been smart, but you have been stupid many times when it comes to your family. I will treat you as caring about old relationships. , but you have obviously connected the clues of various things and got the answer, but you just refuse to admit it.”
"You know that you rely on me for everything, and you are afraid that I will repay the favor in the future. Then why don't you know that your family has given up on you the moment they chose to let you be a chess piece? Your so-called consideration of kindness is in their eyes It’s worthless”
As if he was thirsty, he picked up the inferior tea and drank it in one gulp.
Seeing that Xie Fengyue's originally high head had drooped, Gongzi Yan was not prepared to make any more detours with her today. "Your mother, Mrs. Liu, met the head of the Xie family when they were young. Because her status was too low, she could not enter the Xie Mansion, so she was raised outside. Later, after Mrs. Xie entered the manor, she was not tolerated.
So the head of the Xie family made the decision and found Xie Rong, a branch of the Xie family, to marry the Liu family. Although she was married, the head of the Xie family would definitely love her once he returned to Chen County, so your brother and you were born one after another. ”
Xie Fengyue clenched her sleeves and looked at him gloomily.
Gongzi Yan stared at her without hesitation.
Opening and closing her lips, things that Xie Fengyue didn't want to clear were laid out nakedly on the table.
"The case of Xie Rong's corruption case years ago was about the disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court to Peixian County and its surrounding areas. Xie Rong was just an entry official who was protected by his family and made a big profit. How could he really embezzle that one hundred thousand taels of silver? ? Don’t you think about why you didn’t find that money from your house?”
"Wang Yan, you've had enough."
He poured another cup of tea while he was minding his own business: "It's not enough. If Miss Yue doesn't want to sort it out, I'll sort it out for you."
"The silver was diverted to Wu Palace before it was transported to Pei County. Your brother personally transported it there."
"Wang Yan!"
"He lied to you and said that Master was studying very hard, so he stayed in the clan school."
"Along with the silver, your marriage certificate was delivered. Your mother used your marriage to plan for your brother to become a slave in the future. She wrote a letter to ask for this in person."
"The wise daughter is Mo Ruomu. She knows that you are stubborn and refuses to accept your fate. She also asked your Aunt Xiao. Now Emperor Zhou's Mrs. Xihua has come to mislead you. She knows that you are suspicious and even personally asked your childhood friend to come. .”
"Do you think Zhou Shuyi really knows nothing? It's a lie that she came to Chen County to see me, but it's true that she misled you. Mrs. Xihua also colluded with Taifu Xie."
He paused for a moment before adding: "Didn't your so-called sister Shuyi tell you that she also has a younger brother?"
Seeing Xie Fengyue's expression becoming increasingly gloomy, Gongzi Yan even sneered: "You always get dizzy whenever you encounter the word friendship. Haven't you ever wondered why what Zhou Shuyi said is different from what you know?"
"Wang Yan, you have gone too far."
Xie Fengyue called him by his full name for the third time.
There was still a smile on his lips: "You are the chess piece of the whole family, and you are also an abandoned piece. In their eyes, every move you make is calculated."
Xie Fengyue calmed down after hearing this. You were wrong about one thing: "I am a chess piece but not an abandoned one. My mother is not just to pave the way for my brother. She chose a path for me. In her opinion, The road to prosperity
Zhou Shuyi didn’t come to Chenjun just to mislead me. My mother did write a letter to Mrs. Xihua. I don’t know the content of the letter. But if it was just to mislead, she asked her daughter to travel thousands of miles to Chenjun. , this is not worthwhile. ”
She looked at Gong Ziyan steadily: "The human heart is the most fickle, and what you hear is false and what you see may not be true. Of the evidence you have found, how many of them are true and how many are false? I am not idealistic. If my mother deceives me, then I will definitely go to her and ask her in person, and get the answer myself. If the answer is false, then I will admit it. I just want a clear conscience. "< br>
Her voice gradually became softer: "I am worthy of severing all ties with them from now on."
