After Shen Xi finished saying this, he buried his head in his palm, and his whole body fell into a haze, Xie Yan was behind him, his hands passed under his armpits, hugged him gently, put his head on his back, and listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and his mood also fell.

"It's because it's too dirty, so I can't make this matter public, Shen Ye just saw this, so he threatened me like that! I had to take this threat into account, because I couldn't guarantee what the emperor's attitude would be to this matter. If you feel cheated because of this, then ...... I may not be able to take revenge for the rest of my life. ”

Shen Xi's words, Xie Yan didn't think much about it and understood, Shen Ye should die, but if Shen Xi did not ascend the throne, or did not have the support of Emperor Tianhe, with Shen Xi's identity, he really couldn't shake Shen Ye, the Duke of Dingguo, because no matter what, Emperor Tianhe had a friendship with Shen Ye from the Luo family, and Emperor Tianhe knew that he let Shen Ye marry the Luo family and did not let him take a concubine, but he must also give Shen Ye the corresponding benefits, and this benefit is to ensure the safety of the Dingguo Mansion, even if Shen Ye did something wrong and was cut off the title, but Emperor Tianhe still won't kill him.

And what Shen Xi didn't tell Xie Yan is what happened to the Luo family back then, no matter what it was, this matter must be related to the name of the Luo family, once it is in the daylight, it is very likely that the feelings of the Tianhe Emperor for the Luo family will fall apart, and it is still unknown whether the Tianhe Emperor will destroy the Dingguo Mansion because of this, but his trust and guilt in Shen Xi will be much less, and it is not yet known whether he will be angry because of this, after all, no one knows what the position of the Luo family and his people in the heart of the Tianhe Emperor is.

Although he can protect Shen Ye, the Duke of Dingguo, for the Luo family, but whether it is true love or guilt, if it is true love, then the damage to Luo's reputation may make him depressed, if it is just guilt, then he is very likely to feel that he has been deceived, and then it will have the opposite effect, and Shen Xi's son will also be affected.

It can be seen that Shen Yi's hatred for Shen Ye has long been deep in the bone marrow, Shen Ye will not die, he will never give up, but if he wants to completely defeat Shen Ye, then he must have the power of Emperor Tianhe, or let himself reach the top and hold the power of life and death.

It turned out that Shen Xi in the previous life was fighting for the throne because of this, so after he ascended the throne, when the foundation was not stable, he impulsively destroyed the Dingguo Mansion.

However, Xie Yan served him for more than ten years in his last life, and of course he knew a lot about the bad impact of the Shen family's extermination, and the ministers opposed it, and since then he has been labeled as cruel and unkind, until later Shen Xi was in power for several years, when the country was rich and the people were strong, the voice of doubt and distrust still existed, and it is conceivable that in the eyes of outsiders, what a ridiculous and brutal thing it is for him to raise him for more than 20 years to destroy the Dingguo Mansion.

Aside from the political impact of this incident on Shen Xi, even for Shen Xi and his own person, it has had countless nightmares, dreaming of the Shen family's unjust soul to ask for his life, it can be seen that his heart still regrets destroying the Shen family, but the thing has been done, the Son of Heaven is angry, and the corpse is million, the first time he exercises the rights of the Son of Heaven, he will be bleeding like a river, and the soul will continue, how can he live comfortably in the future?

Therefore, Shen Xi in the previous life, but when he was established, his temples were already gray, and worrying about the country was one of them, who knew that when he dreamed back at midnight, he was not repenting for those injuries that could touch the bottom of his heart?

If he could, he wouldn't want to bear such an ungrateful and cruel reputation. It was Shen Ye and a few others who were guilty, not the Dingguo Mansion that was full of people.

However, what happened to Luo's back then, Xie Yan didn't know, and Shen Xi didn't plan to say it, even if she had the heart to help him, she couldn't do it, in fact, if she wanted her to say it, Luo's was the eldest lady of Dingguo Mansion back then, and her affairs were naturally the affairs of the back house of Dingguo Mansion, and the affairs of the back house were secret and could not be told by outsiders, and Shen Xi had no intention of revealing it, so does it mean that the best in-depth entrance to this matter is the back house?

Xie Yan remembered the appearance of the old lady and the second lady today, and the third lady came to look for her, the old lady and the second lady must be well aware of what happened to the Luo family back then, and the Wan family didn't know, but she also clearly hated Shen Ye.

Why did Wan hate Shen Ye?

It seems that these things should indeed start from the back house......

*******

Early the next morning after Shen Xi rescued Shen Ye from the prison, he went to the palace to greet him.

Xie Yan ordered someone to go to Pear Flower Garden to invite the third lady Wan to come, when Wan came, with a little temptation in her expression, Xie Yan saw her in the Canglan Garden Flower Hall, she invited Wan to take a seat, but she didn't speak, the two were still for a moment, Wan drank two sips of tea, some couldn't sit still, and then asked Xie Yan who was sitting on the top calmly:

"How is Brother Zhao'er doing? I haven't seen him in a while. ”

Because Wan didn't know Xie Yan's abacus in his heart, he picked out the most unmistakable aspect to speak, Kang Ning is his milk name, and his big name is Feng Zhao, so Wan calls him Brother Zhao.

Xie Yan smiled slightly, put down the teacup, and said:

"He's not like that, he eats and sleeps, sleeps and plays, plays and eats, and gains some weight."

Xie Yan didn't put on a face, and continued to talk about Wan's topic, Wan smiled with him, his two hands clasped together, and the handkerchief in his palm was a little deformed by her, and Xie Yan spoke again:

"By the way, some time ago, I heard that Aunt Lan went back to the countryside, and I sent someone to look for her, but there was no one else in her hometown at all, and I don't know where she went.

Wan Shi seemed to have been beaten with a stick, the whole person was confused, her heart was hit hard, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time, Xie Yan noticed that her shoulders, which had just been relaxed, suddenly tightened again.

Pulling at the stiff face, he smiled: "Yes, yes? Why did the princess suddenly mention her? ”

Wan Shi was a little nervous, so he simply raised his hand to drink tea again, covering up his weak look, and Xie Yan didn't expose it, but he didn't see her in such a situation, and continued:

"Alas, when Aunt Lan was here before, I asked her to do something for me, but I didn't think that this thing was not pretended, but I made her disappear, and I can't blame her for thinking about it. Don't mind, third lady. ”

Wan Shi drank his saliva, still felt that his lips were dry, and after licking it, he said:

"No, don't mind!"

Wan Shi thought about it, and his tone also paused, and after a while, he seemed to react, and asked Xie Yan:

"I don't know what you asked her to do, how can you think that her disappearance has something to do with you?"

Xie Yan smiled indifferently and replied:

"I asked her to find someone for me, and the third lady also knew that I took in a child in this yard, that is Luzhu's child, Luzhu is my late mother-in-law's personal maid, she suffered in the house, and I still don't know who the murderer is, but I just let me find some evidence, I dragged Aunt Lan to do this, I want her to cooperate with me to find the murderer behind the scenes."

“……”

For a moment, Wan's face was as pale as paper, and it seemed that the mention of Lu Zhu's death made her feel even more uncomfortable, as if she had thought of something, trembling all over her body and not speaking, her eyes were still full of hatred.

Wan's background is not high, she is the second daughter of a six-grade petty official, and she can marry into the third room of the Dingguo Mansion as the housekeeper is already Gao Pan, but Wan's long-sleeved dance is good, although she is not a housekeeper, but her excellent appearance and conversation also make her mix well in and out of the house.

It stands to reason that such a woman should not have hatred in her eyes, or rather, she should not have hatred in this mansion, but when Shen Ye was rescued last time, she lost her temper for a while, revealing a look that should not be revealed, fortunately, at that time, the old lady and the second lady were all focused on Shen Ye, and hurried out, so that no one noticed her, otherwise it would be another turmoil.

Seeing that Wan's face had completely lost her calmness, Xie Yan had already understood most of it in her heart, and deliberately asked again:

"Actually, I'm not afraid to tell Madam that I already know who the murderer of Green Pearl is. I just want to call the third lady to ask and see if the third lady also knows who the murderer is behind the scenes. ”

Wan Shi raised his head suddenly, looked at Xie Yan in horror, trembled the corners of his mouth, pulled a stiff smile, shook his head slightly and said:

"I, I don't know! How would I know that? What are you talking to me for, it won't have anything to do with me. ”

"Madame doesn't know?" Xie Yan looked surprised, and then shook her head generously and said, "Of course it has nothing to do with Madame!" Just to tell you to know. ”

Wan Shi took another sip of water and said, "Oh, I don't know ......."

"It's the second master! Don't tell me about it! ”

Wan Shi looked at the mysterious Xie Yan, she was in a trance for a moment, and then her expression was obviously relaxed, although she was still a little nervous, but it was much better than before.

"Two, second master?" Wan Shi narrowed his eyes and smiled again: "No." How could it be him? ”

Xie Yan took in her expression, and then sat up straight, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Who knows." Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts. At first, I thought that the person behind the scenes was Grandpa Guo, who knows, after checking for a long time, it turned out to be the second master, Aunt Lan was only afraid that she also knew this, so she was hated by the second master, and since then she has lost her life. ”

After hearing these words, Wan's expression was completely relaxed, and the whole person softened a lot, and said along the topic of Xie Yan:

"I'm afraid there is still a misunderstanding here, besides, Aunt Lan is just returning to her hometown, even if she doesn't go back, at most she will be considered missing, and she will not necessarily lose her life, you may be too worried."

After Wan finished speaking, Xie Yan kept staring at her with a smile, staring at Wan's scalp numb, but for some reason, just when she was about to collapse and wanted to reason with Xie Yan, Xie Yan suddenly withdrew her gaze, smiled incomprehensibly, and said:

"Maybe."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and said something that was not related, and then Wan Shi proposed to leave, and Xie Yan did not keep her, as if the person who urgently summoned her over today was not her, and when Wan Shi left, his heart was still inexplicable.

After Wan left, there was originally only two people in the flower hall suddenly appeared another man, it was Nie Rong who followed behind Shen Xi, walked to Xie Yan's side, Xie Rong whispered a few words to him, Nie Rong nodded, understood what he wanted to do, and left quietly as he came.
