Chapter Seventy-Four: The White-Haired Son

We talked while walking, and he told me that he grew up in Beiliang, his father abandoned his mother before he was born, and his mother also passed away shortly after giving birth to her, leaving him only one name, Xie Yun, his mother's surname is Ling, so he is called Ling Xie Yun.

He was raised by a friend of his mother's and treated him like his own, but unfortunately he also passed away not long ago.

He said that he no longer had any relatives in this world, and occasionally walked around with friends, and stayed in his former house in the suburbs of Beiliang in his spare time.

After coming into contact with him, I feel that he is a very optimistic and cheerful person, and he doesn't seem to have any bad intentions. It's just that when I think of what he said yesterday, I still feel a little unhappy.

I accidentally told him about going to South Vietnam with my fourth brother in a few days, and when I mentioned South Vietnam, I saw a trace of contempt flashed in his expression, and I tried to ask him if he had ever been to South Vietnam, but he didn't answer me positively, and said that South Vietnam was not as good as North Liang.

It was dark, and seeing that it was going to rain, he told me to go home early so that it would not rain later.

"Ling Gongzi, will we see each other again in the future?"

He didn't answer me, just smiled at me, turned and walked away.

I don't know how I could ask such a question, but I thought to myself, if we could see each other again, I would be happy.

Holding the things he gave me in my hand, I was going to go back to the house to find a box to lock up, I have a bad habit, for things I particularly like, I don't like to wear them, so I like to collect them, and occasionally take them out to see.

When I walked to the gate of the yard, I saw the third brother with the ice cube face standing with slanted eyes looking at me, and the moment I saw him, I almost almost fell to the ground, and asked myself over and over again: Why did he come to me as soon as he came back? I didn't do anything.

I subconsciously put my hands behind my back, moved over step by step, and when I was in front of him, I asked weakly: "Third brother, you... Why are you here? ”

He glanced behind me and said in a cold tone, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

I shook my head repeatedly, "Nothing, nothing." ”

"Are you going to South Vietnam with Night Dust?"

As soon as he asked, I froze in place, not daring to lie or speak. How did the third brother know, didn't he just come back, could it be that Situ Yechen went to sue me?

This person is really, how did he run to sue the three, if I let Daddy know, I definitely don't have the slightest chance to go.

"I'll ask Yechen to bring a few more people to protect you, and don't run away blindly when you go to South Vietnam."

...

I just watched him go away like that, thinking what was going on today? How can one or two be so abnormal?

The third brother is arrogant and hot-tempered, even if he treats his family members coldly, he is usually taciturn, and he likes to keep everything in his heart.

Since I was a child, he was the one I was most afraid of contacting, and he wouldn't coax me and tease me like other brothers.

But I know that he actually loves me very much, and he can't allow anyone to say anything about me.

His temper is the most like his mother's mother, starting a fire, not listening to anyone's advice, only according to his own thoughts.

The most impressive thing is that when I was fourteen years old, I was bullied, that person was still the son of Yang Shangshu's family, and the fourth brother was the most troublesome, so he took me away at that time. didn't want the third brother to find out, so he sneaked into the man's house that night, beat him violently, gave him a few whips, and discounted his hands...

Fortunately, that person's reputation in the capital was not very good, and the sister-in-law asked the prime minister to intercede with the third brother, and the mother found a doctor to treat him, and Yang Shangshu didn't say anything more.

But Daddy was angry, although the third brother was indifferent to people since he was a child, he has always listened to him, and he followed Daddy to fight like the eldest brother, he was young but brave and good at fighting.

The second brother's heart is not here, the fourth brother is free and easy, Daddy has always had high hopes for the third brother, and then the fourth brother went to sue, saying that it was because of me, so he would punish me.

The third brother kept claiming that he himself didn't like that person and didn't do my business. also threatened Daddy, if he dares to punish me, he will commit it next time. As soon as he said this, plus the eldest brother and second brother both protected me together, I didn't have anything.

In the end, the third brother was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall and knelt for a day.

In fact, I think that person deserved it, but he just beat him, it was really too cheap for him, but unfortunately he didn't have a chance to do it to him in the future.

Two years ago, when I had an accident, the second brother and the third brother both scolded the fourth brother and blamed him for not taking good care of me.

When I was tidying up my things, I couldn't help but bring the pair of earrings that Ling Xieyun gave me, and for some reason, I wanted to wear them.

If... If I bump into him again...

Three days later, the fourth brother and the second prince set off for South Vietnam, His Majesty explained everything, and the two of them went out of the city gate, I listened to the words of the fourth brother, and waited until everyone left, before I said to the second brother, and ran out of the back door secretly.

The fourth brother waited for me at the gate of the city, and as soon as I went out, he saw me, and specially prepared a carriage for me, and he rode outside to watch me, and let me sit in the carriage.

I just took a nap, and when I woke up, I heard the voices of the second prince and the fourth brother.

"Why did Ruo Lian come with you?"

"She persuaded my second brother, and I had no choice but to take it."

"No wonder Uncle Huang often complains in front of his father, you are all used to her like this, sooner or later you will spoil her."

"I've been like this since I was a child, I'm not used to it, and I'm not the only one who has the final say."

"Then you have to watch carefully, don't let her get into trouble, Bei Liang is no better than Nan Yue, if something happens again, my aunt's temperament is really impossible to explain."

"I told her when I came, and she will listen to me this time."

Wasn't it these two princes who went to sue me last time, he has been like this since he was a child, his two sisters and I never listened to him, so I like to tell Your Majesty and my father, let them punish us.

He is only one year older than the fourth brother, and he is indeed much more sensible than the fourth brother, and he has always been very concerned about the affairs of the court, and he will share his majesty's worries, but he is too conformist, and his temperament is completely different from his brother's.

I'm afraid that I won't be sent back by her before I get out of Beiliang this time.

Sometimes, I'm really glad that I was born in Prince Yan's mansion.

For Bei Liang, for my background, I have really always liked it, not only because of the identity of the county lord, but also because of our Situ family, there are not so many scheming and calculations, unlike other royal families, for the sake of power and fame, for the throne, fight for your life and death, and the six relatives do not recognize it.

From my father and Your Majesty, that's the case, although Daddy has a heavy army and is very prestigious in Beiliang, but His Majesty has never suspected him of anything, has not treated him badly, they are not born of the same mother, but His Majesty has always regarded him as his closest brother, if there is a piece of the palace, there will definitely be a share of our Prince's Mansion.

The same is true for the eldest prince and the second prince, as well as Sister Ruoyi and Ruoying, who have never been disgusted by anyone and who calculates whom, and they have always gotten along very well. Not to mention my brothers.

I heard that the men of Nanyue are all married to a wife, and there are many concubines in the family, and infighting in the family often happens, not to mention the royal family, just like the emperor of Nanyue today, there are a lot of concubines and a lot of children, most of whom are not born to the same mother.

Therefore, since ancient times, there have been many cases of fratricidal fighting for the throne in South Vietnam.

I didn't know anything about South Vietnam, and I wasn't interested in it.

There are only two people who have heard the most mention, one is Murong Ling, who is known as the first beauty, and the other is the Seventh Emperor Ling Wang, who is the son of the queen, and I heard that he is very similar to his uncle General Murong when he was young.

There is another person who often hears the fourth brother talk about, that Murong Gongzi, Murong Ling is his sister.

I have met General Murong once, about five years ago, when I went to visit Ruoxuan's predecessors in Shuiyu Villa, he was also there, and now I can't remember what he looked like at that time, I only know that I was shocked by him at that time, for the kind of person who lives on the battlefield to defend his family and the country, wearing armor and holding a sword, I will unconsciously have admiration in my heart, and I can't help but take a few more looks.

He's a lot like Daddy.

I really wanted to see him again, and I thought later that when he was young, he must have attracted many good girls to fall in love with him, so when I heard people say that King Ling was very similar to him, I became curious about King Ling.

But I also heard that King Ling had never been to the battlefield.

He is the queen's son, he has been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, and he has never suffered anything.

I listened to the fourth brother all the way, and he said whatever he said, without saying a word or taking one more step.

On the day he arrived in Nanyue, the fourth brother went to the main hall with the second prince to meet the emperor of Nanyue. When the fourth brother entered the palace gate, he left me and let me walk around alone, and came to me when he was done.

Fortunately, Nanyue is still very hospitable, and found me a place to rest first, but I was really curious about the Nanyue Imperial Palace, so I wanted to take a look everywhere, and let the two little maids lead me to the Imperial Garden.

The atmosphere of South Vietnam is a little cooler and warmer than that of the North, and the flowers bloom earlier and are more gorgeous.

When I first saw a lake, I heard a flute not far away, melodious and graceful, very beautiful.

I have listened to the fourth brother's flute since I was a child, and his flute sound is one of the best in Beiliang, but after listening to this sound today, I feel that it is a little better than the fourth brother.

I listened to the sound that happened to be coming from the lake, so I followed the sound and walked there, and gradually a vague figure appeared in front of me.

When I saw him, I couldn't help but scream.

The man sat on the guardrail by the lake, emaciated, about the same height as the fourth brother, dressed in white, looking young, but full of white hair, which did not match his appearance, and most importantly, his eyes were covered by a white silk.
