Chapter 567: The Xiao Family's Secrets
Xiao Wenyao's intention to resolve the enmity between the Yang family and Xiao Jinxuan, at the age of eleven or twelve years old, it is normal for him to say this.
After all, the biological mother, plus the most respected sister, the palms and backs of these hands are full of meat.
Naturally, he didn't want the two closest people to have a hatred that was incomprehensible, so he said what he just said.
At least judging from Xiao Wenyao's teenage age, he felt that since Xiao Jinxuan was sold to the Yang family, she must also be a child abandoned by her biological family.
So in his heart, he felt that Xiao Jinxuan could be regarded as a blessing in disguise, after all, if he was sold into Xiao Mansion, even if the days in Meizhuang were hard, at least he survived.
But after listening to Xiao Wenyao's words that could barely be regarded as comforting, Xiao Jinxuan looked at her younger brother and showed a helpless and sour smile.
Then the tears that I endured for a long time came out of my eyes at this moment.
Since Xiao Jinxuan has talked about this today, she naturally doesn't want to hide anything, so she immediately said:
"Brother Yao, if I am just the daughter of a peasant family who is disliked, then maybe I can enter the Shuai Mansion as you said, that is my blessing. But brother, do you know that my sister is not from the Great Zhou State at all. My real identity should be the daughter of the princess of the country of Beirong Town, so a baby change of the Yang family, she turned me, the lord of the county, into a marshal mansion, and ruined the honor that should have belonged to me for a lifetime. makes it difficult for me Xiao Jinxuan to return to my home, and it is difficult to recognize my relatives, so there is absolutely no possibility of resolving the hatred between me and the Yang family. β
Looking at Xiao Jinxuan's words to the end, tears were like beads with broken threads, dripping down in strings.
And the melancholy and grief in her expression made people feel Xiao Jinxuan's bitterness at a glance.
However, everyone in the study, even if they saw that Xiao Jinxuan's mood fluctuated a lot, but no one could take care of comforting her.
After all, Xiao Jinxuan is not of Shuaifu blood, which has shocked the Xiao family and can't react.
But then Xiao Jinxuan actually said that her true identity was the princess of the Beirong royal family.
If it weren't for this, Xiao Jinxuan's behavior would be normal in addition to being a little emotional, and everyone in the Xiao family would even think that she was crazy before she would say such inconsequential words.
And at this moment, all of a sudden, I only saw Xiao Jinxuan, who had suppressed the mystery of her life experience for too long, and now she could finally say it openly.
Her grievances and hardships will all turn into tears, but she is bowing her head and choking with tears.
Suddenly, I felt a broad palm and patted her shoulder very gently.
When Xiao Jinxuan raised her head with tears in her eyes, she saw that Xiao Sanjiang was looking at him lovingly, and there was no disgust in her eyes, but more love than in the past.
Immediately afterwards, after seeing Xiao Sanjiang signaling Xiao Heng and the others to be calm, he immediately sighed and said with a pleasant face:
"Jinxuan is not your words, grandfather doesn't want to believe it. But even if you find out many times from Yangzhou that you are not the bloodline of my Shuaifu, then how did you know that your real origin is from the Beirong royal family. β
As soon as she heard this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.
After she stabilized her fluctuating emotions a little, she repeated all the words that Xiao Yunyan, the third prince of Beirong, had said to her after she came to Da Zhou.
I heard that Xiao Jinxuan's appearance and the princess of Beirong Town were carved out of the mold almost instantly.
And when the Beirong Kingdom changed that year, the baby girl who was sent away to flee did come to Yangzhou on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
At this time, the time and place are all right, even if everyone thinks this matter is incredible, but in the end they have to admit that Xiao Jinxuan should indeed be a descendant of the Beirong royal family.
And after listening to Xiao Jinxuan's words, he suddenly saw Xiao Sanjiang, who had been the most calm just now.
But he suddenly raised his head and laughed, and the corners of the old marshal's eyes overflowed with a little wetness.
Everyone in the study, including Xiao Jinxuan, was stunned by Xiao Sanjiang's sudden laughter.
And I saw that the old handsome man laughed for a while, and then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Then he put his hands on Xiao Jinxuan's shoulders and looked at her carefully.
"Old man Jinxuan didn't expect that you would be the baby girl back then, obviously saying that the child had returned to China, but he didn't want to be the real county lord but kept living in Da Zhou. I didn't expect that in the past fifteen years, your child has slowly grown up in my Shuai Mansion. Jinxuan, don't be talking nonsense without blood, you can call Ben Shuai and uncle and grandfather to listen. β
Originally, Xiao Jinxuan thought that she would reveal her identity, and even if the Shuai Mansion did not embarrass her, the love between each other might come to an end.
But Xiao Sanjiang's extremely excited and enthusiastic reaction was something Xiao Jinxuan never expected.
Especially when the other party claimed to be her uncle and grandfather, this caught Xiao Jinxuan off guard, and even froze in place.
And Xiao Ting, who is the eldest son of Xiao Sanjiang, showed a hint of abruptness, and then said very excitedly:
"Father, what you just said meant was that Jinxuan was one of the children who asked us to take care of them in the secret letter of the Beirong royal family back then. But the Beijung people who came with the baby girl fifteen years ago didn't mean that the eldest princess's child had hidden in a safe place halfway, so they didn't come to us. How could that child turn out to be Jinxuan fifteen years later, this is really incredible. β
Seeing that the words between Xiao Sanjiang and Xiao Ting are really difficult to understand, as Xiao Jinxuan's father.
Xiao Heng saw that the daughter he had identified for fifteen years suddenly had nothing to do with him.
Therefore, he even stepped forward and directly grabbed Xiao Ting's eldest brother's collar, and anxiously asked what the other party knew.
And Xiao Sanjiang, who had calmed down from his excitement, saw that he suddenly stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then he spoke:
"If you want to explain Jinxuan's affairs clearly, this has to start with the ancestor of my Xiao family. In fact, the surname of the Beirong royal family is Xiao, and the surname of my Shuaifu is also Xiao, which seems to be a coincidence, but in fact it is the same way. And now the British Emperor of Beirong, he is really the nephew of the old man, and his father is my cousin Xiao Sanjiang. β
Xiao Ting is the eldest son of the Shuai Mansion, so he still knows this secret, but for the rest, he can't believe that all this is true.
After all, the Xiao family of the Shuai Mansion has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Great Zhou, how did they become Beirong people in a blink of an eye.
If this is the case, how can the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty rely on the Xiao family so much, and dare to hand over the military power to the Shuai Mansion with confidence, which in itself makes no sense.
And when Xiao Sanjiang saw the heavy surprise on the faces of Xiao Jinxuan and the others, he immediately told the secret of the Xiao family's past slowly.
It turned out that Xiao Sanjiang's father was indeed the prince of Beirong back then, and he was able to fight well, and he was a person who was extremely relied on by the old emperor and wanted to pass on the throne.
But the ancestor of the Xiao family, who was born to a concubine back then, can only be regarded as a concubine.
Coupled with the assassination of the queen at that time, the old emperor felt that this son was self-reliant, and he couldn't wait to force him off the throne and ascend the throne himself.
Therefore, in the end, the prince, who had no intention of rebellion, was punished by the army sent by the imperial court without preparation, and he could only go into exile in a foreign country, and at that time he fled to the Great Zhou.
Later, the prince went through a lot of ups and downs, and felt that the world was hot and cold, because he never dared to show his true identity.
Therefore, his good ability to fight on the battlefield was finally reduced to the situation of dancing with knives and sticks in the streets of the Great Zhou Jingshi and making a living by juggling.
And just when this down-and-out prince was performing on the street again, it happened that the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time went out of the palace to play.
As for the king of the Great Zhou, because he had been an envoy to Beirong before he ascended the throne, the war between the two countries was tense at that time, even if the emperor at that time was the identity of the crown prince, he almost did not die in Beirong.
When the situation was in trouble, Xiao Sanjiang's father, who was upright, secretly helped the monarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that the other party could return to China safely.
Therefore, now that the two meet again, the crown prince of the Great Zhou, who has ascended the throne and is the emperor, still thinks of Xiao Sanjiang's father's goodness, so he brings the other party back to the palace.
Originally, the Great Zhou Emperor wanted to give Xiao Sanjiang's father endless wealth, but he didn't want to be rejected.
Because a few years have passed, the old emperor of Beirong has died, the queen of the year has become the queen mother, and her son has also ascended the throne as the emperor.
The down-and-out prince who couldn't forget the hatred a few years ago immediately asked the monarch of the Great Zhou Dynasty to give him soldiers and horses to kill him back to Beirong.
And as a condition of exchange, Xiao Sanjiang's father made an oath at that time, and in the future, he would only fight for the Great Zhou in the future.
After his death, his descendants will never return to Beirong, and he will be loyal to the son of Zhou for generations.
And since then, there was suddenly a marshal from the Great Zhou Dynasty who was born as an artist, which shocked the whole country at that time, and this was the origin of the Xiao family in the Marshal's Mansion at the beginning.
After everyone listened to this secret in shock, they saw Xiao Jinxuan, who had recovered from her stunnedness, and couldn't help but point to herself and said in disbelief:
"Ancestral ...... No, it's my uncle and grandfather, then according to the meaning of your words, although I am not a direct relative of the Shuai Mansion, I am still related by blood. But according to your statement, Uncle Tai hated Beirong so much back then, why did you have contact with Beirong later, and it seems that you are willing to help them take in the children of the royal family. β
As soon as he heard this, this time he didn't wait for Xiao Sanjiang to speak, but he couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiao Ting, and then explained:
"Jinxuan, you kid may not know that the queen mother and son who assassinated our ancestors back then were finally eliminated by the ancestor's own brother who exposed the evil deeds. And the last person to ascend the throne was also this younger brother, so the hatred of the ancestors was gone, and he slowly got in touch with Beirong in private. So the relationship was quite harmonious later. β
Xiao Sanjiang, who took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, saw that Xiao Jinxuan nodded as if he didn't understand, but immediately he continued very happily:
"My father's younger brother is actually your child's grandfather, Jinxuan. You are the daughter of the princess of the town country, and the current British Emperor of Beirong is your own uncle. At that time, it was also the British Emperor who secretly sent a letter to my uncle, saying that there was going to be a coup d'Γ©tat in China, and that the young children of the royal family would be sent to me in batches to take refuge. As a result, Ben Shuai took in a total of seven or eight young children at that time, but you were the only one who did not receive them. I don't want your child to appear alive in front of the old man fifteen years later, but I heard that the daughter of the eldest princess is now in Beirong. It's unbelievable who is the person who has replaced you. β
