Chapter 230: Persistence

Where did the topic turn again? Xue Ying couldn't understand his thinking at all: "Is it okay to say something straightforwardly?"

"I want to be straight, don't you want me to say it?"

Xue Ying, who was used to playing scoundrels by herself, finally tasted the taste of being half dead because of others playing scoundrels. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Fortunately, Xue Qi didn't bother her this time, and quickly revealed the mystery: "Dong Xun's original name was Ding Xundong, and she was the granddaughter of the former Si Tianjian Si Chen Ding Yuan. The three generations of the Ding family are all members of Si Tianjian, because the emperor would rather die than change the old rules when he implemented the new policy, so after the emperor ascended the throne, he was awarded the title of Rongdian family and prospered for a while. But ten years ago, someone accused the Ding family of being implicated in King Sui, and later the supervisor found the utensils that originally belonged to King Sui in Ding's house, so he confirmed the charge. After the verdict, all the male dependents of the Ding family were beheaded, and the female Ding was all bought. Before the raid, the daughters of the Ding family were humiliated and all committed suicide, leaving only Ding Michun and Ding Xundong two young daughters. ā€

Xue Ying's brain has been racing fast when listening to Xue Qi's narration, thinking back to the beginning, she found that many things were finally explained, but then more questions followed.

Dong Xun witnessed the tragedy of his family at a young age, so he lived so anxiously; the little girl who was timid back then knew the allusions of the "Rongdian family" and the "new family", presumably because the family has always been proud of the "Rongdian", and the result of being exposed to it since childhood.

After losing all their relatives, how did the two sisters survive? How did they later separate? Why did Dong Xun enter the Jian'an Hou Mansion while her sister went to a brothel? Why did Dong Xun keep a secret about her sister's affairs? And what entanglements did Ding Michun have with the Luo family?

These questions swirled through her mind, but what she wanted to know most was, "What are you telling me for?"

Xue Qi sighed: "Your maid has been with you for nearly ten years, but you don't know anything about her background?"

"Do you know what's the difference?" After asking, Xue Ying's face changed instantly, because she finally remembered a key word, "King Sui?"

"Yes, King Sui. When I proposed to the emperor to pass you on to King Sui, I didn't know about her background, and it wasn't until she came to prominence in the Zhuangyuan Building that she caught my attention, which was my mistake. He was mad at Xue Ying back then, and made that suggestion in a hurry, although he has not regretted it until today, he must admit that there are loopholes in this plan. "Your relationship with King Sui is sensitive enough, if the descendants of the Ding family are involved, the situation will be even more like walking on thin ice. Therefore, whether or not to keep this maid has nothing to do with whether her sister is ** or not. This decision will affect your reputation and will more likely lead to your death. ā€

"Since the day I passed to King Sui, I have been hanging a knife above my head, and with or without Dong Xun, the result is almost the same. ā€

"You mean, you're still not going to chase that maid away?"

"Even if I want to drive her away, it won't be because she has something to do with King Sui. Besides, the Ding family was found guilty based on the things found in the Ding family, and the case itself was untenable. Who knows if the Ding family has been framed and blamed?!"

"It doesn't matter whether the Ding family was framed or not, the important thing is that the Ding family has been convicted, and the people of the Ding family have all died except for this maid of yours, and there is no possibility of turning the tables. Xue Qi pointed out coldly.

"Okay, take 10,000 steps back, even if the Ding family really colludes with King Sui, I still have to leave Dongxun, how about it?"

Xue Qi took a slow sip of tea again: "The maid is yours, who can take you?"

Then he told her so much?! Xue Ying gritted her teeth secretly.

Xue Qi threw a bomb again at the moment when she had just relaxed her nerves: "You know that the Luo family and King Sui are also inextricably linked, right?"

The hairs on Xue Ying's whole body stood up: "You...... What do you mean by that?"

"The Ding family has a relationship with King Sui, the Luo family has a relationship with King Sui, your maid and Luo Shishang secretly met in private, and you secretly passed a box of things to Luo Shishang yesterday that I don't know what it is-Do you want to dig a big pit and sell yourself? Don't be too objective, if you go down this road, you will die without a whole body, and you won't even have to dig a pit. ā€

Xue Ying's eyes suddenly darkened. Indeed, based on what she did, others have reason to suspect that she has become King Sui's minion, responsible for secretly contacting King Sui's forces outside, this crime is enough to make her irreversible.

But God knows that she was just kind enough to give that woman a box of tranquility.

Xue Qi looked at Xue Ying's bloodless face, and a trace of pity suddenly flashed in his indifferent eyes: "Stop." ā€

Xue Ying hooked the corners of her mouth weakly: "Even if I stop now, who will believe my innocence?"

"Have you ever thought that this is most likely a trap set by King Sui, who just wants to pull you into his camp or destroy you completely. ā€

"King Sui has no good intentions, but what about you and the emperor? I use it when I am useful, and if it is useless or the slightest disobedience, it will kill me like stepping on an ant. When I met you people, I really fell into eight lifetimes of mold. ā€

"I'll just ask you, do you want to stop and turn back?"

Xue Ying was angry: "Don't accept it, don't go back!" If Dong Xun is driven out like this, she will definitely not survive. With this alone, she will also go to the end of this black road.

"Oh well. Xue Qi got up and walked two steps before stopping, and suddenly asked, "Do you hate me very much?"

"Yes, definitely. Xue Ying didn't even look at him, "If you want to add a deadline to this hatred, I can tell you very honestly, to, death, Fang, Hugh!"

Hearing this, Xue Qi brushed his sleeves away. Xue Ying stared blankly at the dead wood in the courtyard, her eyes sour.

When I came to Dongxun Gate, I happened to meet Qiaoya who was just about to go out. Qiao Ya said: "I cried for a while just now, and now it's fine." Miss, what the hell is going on? How could a good person mention that she wants to go away in winter? With her temperament, I am afraid that she will be killed before she can leave the gate of this courtyard. ā€

"I said, I'm not going to let her go. Xue Ying's voice was a little tired, but her tone was very resolute. "You go down first, and I'll talk to her. ā€

"Yes. ā€

Entering the room, Dong Xun raised his eyes that were red from crying, but his expression was extremely resolute and calm: "Miss, when did you know about my sister?"

Xue Ying hesitated for a moment and handed her the scroll in her hand: "This is what I got more than a month ago." ā€

Dong Xun opened the picture scroll, his face was blue and white, his hands trembled violently, and he slowly rolled the portrait up for a while, and rolled down two lines of tears with his eyes closed.

"Miss, I want to leave the Hou Mansion. ā€
