Chapter 225: Around the Bend
"Come on, wipe your face yourself." Li Xinchen handed the cleaned towel to the girl sitting on the chair, trying to make her voice as soft as possible.
The tables and chairs in this room had also been deliberately overturned before, and then Nan Chen's pawn came in to search again, and the destruction was even more complete, Li Xinchen was able to find such a chair that was still intact for her, which was already very good.
The girl came back to her senses, her hand trembled slightly and stretched out to take the towel, gently wiped off the dirt on her face, and her white face was completely presented in front of Li Xinchen for the first time.
Reaching out and taking an apple and handing it to the girl, Li Xinchen squeezed out a smile: "Can you tell so-and-so, what is your name?" ”
The towel in the girl's hand almost fell, but she barely kept her composure and put the towel on the table next to her, took the apple, but did not eat it, but held it in her hand, and said softly: "As my mother said, you can't tell anyone else about your name, and no one can do it." ”
Li Xinchen laughed: "Then do you know where your mother is?" ”
Suddenly, the girl's eyes dimmed: "I don't know······ My mother was ······ at the time I was told not to come out at the time, and then I left······ It could be with the man, or it could be ······"
"The man? Your father, Emperor Xiliang? Li Xinchen vaguely guessed something and asked tentatively.
"He's the emperor, he's not my father!" The girl didn't know why she suddenly got angry and slammed the apple still on the ground.
Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand what this sentence meant for a while. And the girl seemed to have been poked in the sad place, and cried: "He······ He's just a bad guy, and he said he didn't have a daughter like me······ He's just an emperor! ”
vaguely understood the relationship, Li Xinchen couldn't help but smile bitterly, nine times out of ten it is that this pair of father and daughter don't know what kind of conflict is there, but Li Xinchen can't care about this kind of thing, and he doesn't have the heart to care, while taking out his handkerchief and handing it to the girl, he picked up the apple again and stuffed it into her hand:
"Come, stop crying, eat something."
Watching the girl wipe away her tears, Li Xinchen sighed softly and walked straight to the door.
I don't know when, Xiao Shilian was standing at the door, but he didn't come in: "What, did you ask for anything?" ”
"When you come up, you cry, what can you ask." Li Xinchen snorted, "What about your side?" ”
Xiao Shilian smiled bitterly: "It's the same with that group of girls, and those men are also a group of wine bags and rice bags, and in the end they say some scattered things, and they don't know if it's true or not." ”
"Let's go, let's go see the captives." Li Xinchen frowned, "By the way, did you ask about this girl's identity?" ”
"Don't say it, this is really asked." Xiao Shilian said helplessly, and while returning the jade pendant to Li Xinchen, he said, "Do you want to know?" ”
Li Xinchen glanced at Xiao Shilian suspiciously: "What, how complicated is this?" Isn't it Xiao Yue's daughter? ”
"This is complicated," Xiao Shilian didn't say in a hurry, but sold a pass, "This little girl is Xiao Yue's daughter, but she is not Xiao Yue's daughter." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Li Xinchen suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Shilian was not the kind of person who could hide secrets in his heart, but when he saw Li Xinchen showing a curious look, he was already satisfied, and immediately lowered his voice and said: "It's true that this little girl is Xiao Yue's daughter, but Xiao Yue doesn't admit it." ”
"Huh?"
Xiao Shilian shrugged: "This girl is Xiao Yue's daughter, and she is also the daughter and concubine born to Xiao Yue and the pseudo-queen Zhang's family." But it's a pity, this life is not good, I don't give birth early, I don't give birth late, I was born in February. You may not know that there is a rule in Jiangnan that both the people, the family, and even the royal family have, that a daughter born in February is unlucky. ”
Seeing Li Xinchen's face with a look of surprise, Xiao Shilian said with a wry smile: "At that time, it was when this Xiao Yue was trying to survive in the gap between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and our Da Chen, and he somewhat thought that this daughter had brought him bad luck, so he simply gave it away and let his brother Xiao Qi help raise it. ”
At this time, the surprise on Li Xinchen's face had evolved into shock, and Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him: "As for you, although this girl can be regarded as having gone through hardships, but now it seems that she has good clothes and food, and her life is not bad, what's the matter, do you fancy it?" ”
"Ah", Li Xinchen came back to his senses and subconsciously asked, "Then why is she by Xiao Yue's side now?" ”
Xiao Shilian shook his head: "It is said that it is because of her outstanding appearance and the persuasion of the Zhang family that Xiao Yue brought her daughter back, as for why, I don't know······"
"In order to have a choice and capital ······ when marrying the rest of the family in the future" Li Xinchen couldn't help muttering.
"What did you say?" Xiao Shilian was stunned, Li Xinchen's voice was small, and he didn't hear it clearly.
Li Xinchen hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I mean it's interesting." ”
"There are many more interesting things, this Xiao Yu is superstitious, and he is afraid that this girl will bring him some bad luck, so he has not yet admitted that this is his daughter, so there is no name on the royal roster," Xiao Shilian said in a good time, "Do you know what this means?" ”
Without waiting for Li Xinchen to answer, Xiao Shilian looked Li Xinchen up and down, and his smile became ambiguous: "It means that even if you take this girl home and hide it in a private room, no one can take care of it." After all, there is no explicit text to prove that this is Xiao Yue's daughter. ”
"Robbing people's daughters?" Li Xinchen blurted out.
Xiao Shilian was suddenly surprised and asked, "Is this a folk girl?!" ”
Suddenly, Li Xinchen didn't know how to answer, and Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "It's not nice to say, this is plus your seizure, it stands to reason that you also have the right to dispose of it, just now I discussed it with Tuas, both of us are barely from a family, and there are people who serve at home, but it's you, there are only Li Ping, five big and three rough men, so you also need a maid to help with the ······"
Li Xinchen couldn't help sneering in his heart, you kid is going around the bend and wants to let someone take this girl into the room, and you dare to love it for this reason.
You must know that Li Xinchen was not the only one around Li Ping to take care of before, most of the things were done by Li Li'er herself, and Li Ping couldn't help much. Now that Xiao Shilian has found someone to replace Li Li'er, he naturally has more opportunities to be alone with Li Li'er.
It's really a good calculation.
Xiao Shilian said with a smile: "So that he and Tuas can also rest assured, don't you say?" ”
Li Xinchen rolled his eyes, it was really hard for you to make such a big bend just to soak my sister.
