Chapter 288: True Face
Obviously, there were still a lot of questions, but Xue Ying suddenly couldn't ask any more. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info She suddenly thought of a possibility, this speculation made her shiver in her bones, and she was even more frightened than when she heard that she was the biological daughter of Xue Qi and Liao Yunxi.
The stove had no doubt about her sudden silence, and kept looking at her with gentle eyes, as if encouraging her to speak the words of her heart.
After a long time, Xue Ying asked tremblingly, "Did you already know?"
The stove lowered his eyes slightly, and there was a sense of relief that "you finally asked": "Yes." ”
With a sharp pain in her chest, Xue Ying held back the tears that flowed and reconfirmed in disbelief: "You already knew that I was their biological daughter?"
The answer of the furnace was the same: "Yes." ”
"You already knew?!" Xue Ying finally collapsed, "You already knew why you didn't say it?!"
"The time has not yet come. ”
It was still that person, still a gentle tone, and still eyes full of softness and warmth, but at that moment, Xue Ying finally saw the fangs and claws under this person's appearance.
His gentleness is not because of tolerance, but because he has no sorrow, no joy, no feelings, and his kindness is not because of compassion, but because of cold calculations!
Tears fell like a river, but Xue Ying had no time to take care of it, but continued to ask along the torrent of emotions: "So you chose Xue Qi, not only because of his resourcefulness and courage, but also because you have mastered his Achilles' heel - you want to manipulate him for your use through me, right?"
"Yes. ”
Xue Ying whimpered, and then used all her strength to prevent herself from crying, covering her eyes with her hands helplessly, but the tears still scrambled to penetrate her fingers.
Although she shouldn't have been, she had trusted him, favored him, and liked him, and she never expected to face such an ugly side of him in the blink of an eye.
What's even more terrifying is that she found herself trapped in a huge black whirlpool, and Xue Qi and even the entire Xue family were dragged into it by her.
She is not afraid of death, she is not afraid of breaking her bones, she is not afraid of losing everything, but she can't hurt Xue Qi, she can't hurt the entire Xue family, she is not Xue Ying, she doesn't have that qualification!
Grievances, disappointments, fears, and guilt, the many emotions that swept her down completely, and she had no way to hide her embarrassment, so she could only cry and vent in front of this devil who had just recognized her face.
After crying, his emotions calmed down a little, and he heard the other party say: "If you cry again, you will have a headache, drink medicine." ”
She let go of her hands, and at some point a bowl of black decoction appeared on the small table in front of her, curling with white smoke, the smell of which she usually used to recuperate after being too emotional.
She choked again, then picked up the bowl and drank the warm potion in one gulp, the bitter taste washing away the last tear from the corner of her eye.
Putting down the medicine bowl, the other party handed over a warm towel: "Compress your eyes." ”
Xue Ying really put a towel over her eyes, letting the steaming water soothe her eyes that were red and swollen from crying. After a while, she said in a hoarse voice, "You won't succeed." ”
The other party did not speak.
She took off the towel angrily and glared at him: "I told you, I'm not Xue Ying, I'm Mu Xingfu!"
"Xue Shenzheng should have guessed that you are just a puppet. ”
Xue Ying trembled again because of the coldness all over her body: "What do you mean by this?"
"Telling him at times like this that you're not her daughter, no matter how seamless the story you are, will only have the opposite effect. ”
Xue Ying felt a deep sense of powerlessness: "Will he think that I am lying to protect him?"
"Isn't it?"
"I'm not!"
"That is to tell the truth in order to protect him, but no matter what, the result is the same, the more kind you are, the more distressed and guilty he will be. ”
"Bastard!" Xue Ying threw the towel in her hand fiercely.
The other party took away the towel that was thrown on his face, his expression remained unchanged, and even his tone maintained a soothing softness: "With Xue's intelligence in participating in politics, he may have thought about the things you are worrying about now thousands of times, so let him solve these problems, after all, the final decision is in his hands." ”
"Have you ever wondered what if he doesn't listen to you?"
"If you're just his own daughter, maybe it's possible. But over the years, he has done a lot of things to hurt you, and abandoned you again after knowing your background......" His eyes flashed with pity, "Do you think he can do it?"
Xue Ying wanted to pounce and bite him, but in the end she just turned her face away angrily, repeatedly warning herself not to be angry with him.
In short, she was full of grievances, and she didn't know if it was because she remembered Xue Qi's various actions, or because of the demon in front of her.
"Do you still want to keep your promise?"
Xue Ying shuddered, knowing what he was referring to. She once swore to Master Mingtu that she would obey this person unconditionally, and that it would be her mission to fulfill his requests, and that she would never disobey him for the rest of her life.
When she swore an oath, she knew that the road ahead would not be too easy, but when the pain did come, she still felt unbearable.
“…… What do you want me to do?" she asked. What else could she do now? He had made it very clear just now, even if she told Xue Qi that she was not Xue Ying, but a wisp of ghost attached to Xue Ying, things would only get worse.
This guy has calculated everything.
"Take a break. ”
Hearing this, Xue Ying glanced at him in surprise.
The stove smiled slightly: "You're tired, let's sleep for a while." ”
"If I tell Xue Qi everything I know......"
"It doesn't matter. The stove very gently poured a bucket of cold water on her, "You don't know anything." ”
yes, she doesn't know anything, what is there to leak?
Xue Ying smiled self-deprecatingly, obediently closed her eyes and went to recuperate.
The carriage stopped at the inn at Huaxi Ferry, and Xue Ying hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to go down: "Didn't they go back to Anjing City?"
"Second Miss Xue and the Twelfth Young Master have already gone back first, and they don't know what happened later. ”
"That'...... Why didn't Master Xue and Mrs. Xue leave? Shouldn't they go back to the doctor when they are sick?"
"Mrs. Xue wants to be closer to Ganxiao Temple. ”
The hint in the words made Xue Ying's heart sink into the bottomless abyss: "How is Mrs. Xue's situation?"
"I am full of demons and terminally ill. ”
These eight words made Xue Ying's heartbeat stop suddenly, remembering what he said before, "If a person doesn't want to live, no amount of peace charms is useless", and the emotions that had finally eased down were tangled up again.
"I'm cold. She muttered.
The stove took the cloak from the dark compartment and put it on her. After her body warmed up, she finally mustered up the courage to get out of the carriage. When the curtain was lowered, she couldn't help but glance back, the stove always maintained a posture of watching, and the calmness condensed after all the vicissitudes of life calmed her heart down a little.
There is no way back, let's face it!
