"Jin Zhi, I knew you were here!"

Just as Cheng Jinzhi was crying because of the injury of the scene, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

She shuddered when she heard this, and hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and when she turned around, her emotions seemed to have calmed down a lot.

"Big brother, why are you here?"

She barely squeezed out a smile and looked at Cheng Xuan, who looked concerned and serious in front of her, and a warm warmth gradually spread in her heart.

"I heard you're back, but do you know why you're here?"

Cheng Xuan flattened the corners of his mouth and shrugged his shoulders slightly helplessly, his tone was filled with a sense of powerless indignation.

"I wanted to wait for you outside the old man's study, but I heard that you had come out of it and looked very sad. Isn't he... What did I say to you?"

From Cheng Xuan's words, Cheng Jinzhi heard that he already knew that Cheng Yan had played Emperor Zhou to let Gao Heng go to the northwest.

I can feel more sincerely that he is puzzled by his father's move, and he is even more upset about the sister in front of him.

Looking at the entire Cheng family, only the brother in front of him did not go along with the rest of the Cheng family, and he didn't know anything about what Cheng Yan did, he always treated everyone kindly and kindly, and treated himself even more sincerely.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Cheng Jinzhi finally did not choose to conceal it, but responded slightly tactfully.

"He... He told me a little bit about his past with my mother. ”

"He and the third aunt ......"

When Cheng Xuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and when his eyes flowed, the look in his eyes began to become a little complicated.

"Although I don't know what happened, I think there must be an unforgettable but sad story between him and the third aunt, right?"

"Big brother, you... Why do you say that? Did you know something a little earlier?"

Looking at Cheng Xuan's deep face that seemed to know, Cheng Jinzhi frowned slightly in some puzzlement, but saw Cheng Xuan waving his hand and smiling.

"That old man is a hidden old fox, how can he tell me? I found it myself. ”

Then, he told the truth about the scene when he witnessed Cheng Yan sitting on the stone steps and crying secretly on the night of Qin's death.

Including that night outside the study, I saw Cheng Yan holding Qin's relic, the jade bracelet that was broken in half, and seeing things and thinking about people.

After listening to Cheng Xuan's words, Cheng Jinzhi's heart sank, and the depressed feeling that had been slightly eased filled her chest again, making her stop turning her head and taking a deep breath.

She believes that Cheng Yan really loves her mother, but between the two, it was destined to be a mistake from the beginning.

And this kind of mistake must be forgotten and repaid for a lifetime.

"By the way, Jin Zhi, the matter of His Royal Highness King Yan ......"

Seeing that Cheng Jinzhi seemed to be silent in a certain memory for a long time and could not break free, Cheng Xuan was worried that in addition to caring about the past of the Qin family and Cheng Yan, she was also worried about Gao Heng, so she asked tentatively.

"My family and country are in trouble, Your Highness is a person who cares about the world, and it is understandable to go into battle to kill the enemy, it stands to reason that I should not hold a grudge against the person who proposed it because of this matter. But ......"

Cheng Jinzhi came back to his senses and glanced at Cheng Xuan, walked up the stone steps step by step, and raised his hand to cover the door that had been dilapidated and even crumbling due to the wind and sun.

Deep in my heart, I wanted to tell him directly that Cheng Yan stood behind the prince from beginning to end.

And this time he invited Gao Heng to fight in the northwest in front of Emperor Zhou, there must be an unknown conspiracy behind it.

Compared with the danger of battlefield fighting, she is more afraid of those murder weapons that cannot be seen or touched in the dark, but can take people's lives.

After hesitating for a moment, he changed the topic in a different way and said, "Big brother, do you think that old man... What kind of man is he? a good man or a wicked man?"

Although Cheng Jinzhi suddenly heard Cheng Jinzhi ask this, Cheng Xuan felt a little surprised and puzzled, but looking at her serious face, he tightened his pupils and thought about it.

"Hmm... Although it is difficult for me to reach an agreement with him in many places, I also dare not agree with many of his ways of dealing with people, and I even almost got kicked out of the house because of repeated disagreements with him. But I think that he has been immersed in officialdom for decades, and as an official, he is naturally exquisite, treacherous and cunning. He must not be a good man, but he's... But it's not a wicked person, is it?"

Cheng Xuan said unhurriedly, raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the frustration in Cheng Jinzhi's eyes, thinking that she didn't agree with her answer, so she spoke out in a good voice.

"Jin Zhi, I know that he is like this to you, and you should hate him, and I will never say anything good about him. It's just that I, as the son of the Cheng family and your eldest brother, I hope that if I can, I can still see the day when you and him have a cold life. In any case, you are also father and daughter whose blood is thicker than water. ”

"Blood is thicker than water?"

Cheng Jinzhi fell on the loose and peeling lock on the door, and a long-brewing hatred suddenly swept over with sour sadness.

Originally, although she was resentful of what Cheng Yan did to assist the prince, she would not have this heart-wrenching feeling.

However, when he told the story of his past with the Qin family so eloquently, especially when he personally admitted the guilt in his heart about his daughter and the tears that flashed in his eyes......

Thinking that even so, Cheng Yan still chose to hurt himself and hurt the people he cared about the most.

Cheng Jinzhi felt that this father-daughter relationship would never have a day when the suspicion was released.

Because she didn't believe that this Yasukuni Gong, who was a man of the court and a very popular minister, would really have any unavoidable hardships.

"If he really thinks so, he won't help the prince and frame His Highness several times!"

Cheng Jinzhi's voice was low and sharp, and with a slight force of her hands, she pushed open the already dilapidated door in front of her.

For a while, this sentence, which was like half of a sharp sword, sounded at the same time as the sound of opening the door, although it was slightly muffled by the friction of wood, but it was still captured by Cheng Xuan beside him.

"Golden Branch, you... What do you say? You say it again?"

Under the dazzling sunlight, the flying dust scattered and drifted away, blurring Cheng Jinzhi's cold facial contours at the moment.

Cheng Xuan's face changed suddenly after being shocked, and he stared at the sister in front of him with heavy eyes and eyes like torches.

Even though the other party was silent, he already understood.

When the dust in front of him disappeared with the wind, after a long silence, I saw him raise his hand to hold on to the door frame in a little distraction, and muttered a sentence from his mouth.

"Why? Why did he do this......

Looking at Cheng Xuan's sad and disappointed expression, Cheng Jinzhi tensed his cheeks, and his eyes swept over the empty courtyard in front of him one by one.

Then he stopped on him, raised his hand over his slightly trembling shoulder, and said every word with great solemnity.

"Big brother, if you don't want him to make mistakes again and again, and don't want to see the entire Cheng family overturned, are you willing to do me a favor?"
