The hard work paid off, and finally one day, someone came to the news that Xue Qi had come to the capital, and he left without following.

The old general immediately went to the place where the man inquired.

"I didn't expect it, it's really Tan Jiqing this time." The old general sighed, and there was disbelief in his tone.

"I also sent people to the Tan family's mansion to check back then, and the people sent told me that all the people in the Tan family have died." The old general covered his face, as if recalling something painful.

This is indeed a hurdle that is difficult for him to cross in his heart, he has killed many people in his life, but those people are killed to defend the country, or to eliminate violence and peace.

And this time it was for his own selfishness.

Those people deserve to die, but everyone knows that the people of the Tan family should not die.

Xue Tan heard the news and figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.

At the beginning, Tan Jiqing did not die when Tan's house was raided, but escaped.

Xue Tan suddenly admired Tan Jiqing a little, she must have known the intentions of the old man of his family for a long time, and she must have known that she couldn't be with his father.

But she still survived, and did not seek revenge on the old man, nor did she complain to his father.

And gave birth to the little doll.

"It's not easy for Tan Jiqing." Xue Tan said to the old general.

"Yes, I sent someone to investigate her later. She has been living with her mother and the girl, and it is indeed not easy for her to support the three of me by herself. However, it was all self-inflicted. ”

If she didn't choose to escape.

If she hadn't chosen to give birth to Xue Wen'er.

The old general didn't expect Tan Jiqing to survive, let alone that she would live in the capital.

So close to the General's Palace.

The old general knew that Xue Qi was back. He also knew that Xue Qi had given the jade pendant to a little girl.

Of course, the old general was standing not far away, and Xue Qi, who had always been vigilant, probably relaxed that day, completely unaware that he was being followed.

The old general didn't step forward to stop him, nor did he look for Xue Qi, but followed the two people.

The place where they live is very simple, and from the outside, it will make people think that it is a dilapidated place.

The old general was watching at the door now, and Tan Jiqing should not have gone back at that time. After about a moment of incense, he left.

It doesn't serve to stay.

Afterward......

The old general covered his face thoroughly with both hands. Xue Tan couldn't see his expression clearly, but he also knew that it should be extremely painful.

When Xue Tan saw the old general like this, he suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.

"It's the most jerky thing I've ever done in my life. I didn't expect me to do it to a woman. ”

The old general's voice trembled.

When he returned to the General's Mansion, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.

When he saw Wang, he knew that this time it must be Tan Xiqing.

He knew that Xue Qi hadn't met Tan Jiqing that time, but he was afraid that there would be a next time.

I'll meet sooner or later.

The old general didn't know why, he was always riveting to separate the two of them.

Anyway, we just can't be together.

He was also afraid that Xue Qi would come from the border area, abandon Xue Tan and continue to live with that woman.

He has lived most of his life, and he has never understood these feelings and loves. But on that day, he had a feeling.

He felt that if the woman Xue Qi found, he would definitely do everything possible to come back and live with her.

What's more, it was he who went to tell the emperor that the Tan family had rebelled, and it was he who caused Tan Jiqing to such a point.

He was afraid that Tan Jiqing would come to the door.

No matter which one it is, it will make him lose face and make the General's Mansion lose face.

No, as the head of the family, he would never allow such a thing to happen.

So, the old general did another thing that he regretted, which was a stain on his life.

He went to buy a vendor who lived near Tan Xiqing's house, who sold rice all year round, and the Wang family often coveted cheap and convenient rice for him.

The old general added something to the peddler's rice. To put it bluntly, it is a poison that can kill people.

He wanted to kill the three men, but then there was a little accident.

The peddler later reacted that he was doing some bastard things, and just after noon, he ran to Tan Xiqing's house and offered to replace the rice.

You can't do such a hurtful thing.

But the peddler was still a step too late when he went.

Because Wang has already eaten.

Wang has a habit of cooking and coming according to his own wishes, not at all irregular. And after cooking, I will taste it myself to see if it is cooked.

At that time, Tan Jiqing was still working outside. Xue Wen'er was lying down and sleeping in the house.

And the king fell to the ground, unconscious.

In fact, he has long been out of breath.

The old general also forgot what he had added at that time, and he only thought that he had bought it from some people who specialized in making these things secretly, and they said that they were strong.

The peddler did not know the identity of the old general, and there was no way to find him.

He looked at the Wang family who fell to the ground, and knew what was going on, and he reacted immediately.

He picked up Wang and went to the doctor, but it was too late.

There was no salvation at all.

Even if he was a good person, knowing these facts at that time was a little unsupportable.

What if Tan Jiqing comes back to the door?

He remembered that the clothes worn by the people who came to find him today were also gorgeous and splendid, and it was estimated that they were also rich or noble. He guessed that it should be someone from the palace, so he simply didn't do anything.

sold Xue Wen'er to the palace.

"What happened to the guy you were looking for?" Xue Tan naturally wouldn't have heard such a detailed version, but the old general had already told him that he had bought a rice vendor.

"Dead, suicidal. But even if he didn't die, judging from my personality at the time, it wouldn't make him feel better. "This time, it almost became four lives.

The peddler had no wife and no children, and lived on his own all the year round, so he disappeared and almost no one found him.

Only Tan Jiqing knows.

When Tan Jiqing returned home, it was estimated that she could only find that she was the only one left in the family.

Xue Tan couldn't imagine how desperate Tan Jiqing should have been at that time.

"By the way, I went to the palace today to check the roster, and said that Xue Wen'er was originally called Wan'er?"

Xue Tan suddenly remembered something, and then asked.

"That's right, this little girl is very smart, probably because her speech is not very clear."

Ask, Wan'er, it's really the same.

Did Xue Wen'er do it intentionally or unintentionally? Xue Tan couldn't figure it out.

Forget it, even if you know, it's useless.

What's more, no one will come to tell him whether he guessed right or not.
