Xie Mulin found that Xie Yingrong wanted to say something to her several times, but chose to shut up because of the appearance of others, looking hesitant and wanting to speak. She guessed that the other person probably had a lot to ask her.

Coincidentally, she also has a lot of things she wants to inquire about.

She waited two nights, deliberately revealed in front of all her siblings that she wanted to be alone at night, read quietly for a while, and then sent the girls out of the house after dark, telling them not to wander around the yard, or to go to other yards, and just stay in their respective rooms honestly. However, Xie Mulin asked people to leave the courtyard door open, and no one was arranged to guard it, and it was not locked until she blew the lamp to sleep on the second watch.

Anyway, in this deep mansion compound, there will be no thieves running to break through the empty door.

All this is to create an opportunity for Xie Yingrong so that she can avoid others and come to visit her second sister. The courtyards of the two are next to each other, as long as Xie Yingrong really wants to come, he can completely hide it from others.

The hard work paid off, and on the second night, when a day had passed, Xie Yingrong finally appeared.

She avoided the girls and mothers-in-law in Xie Mulin's courtyard, was alone, didn't even hit the lantern, just walked through the courtyard gate in the dark, went straight to the main room, lifted the curtain and entered the house, and then greeted Xie Mulin: "Second sister, I have something to tell you, don't alarm others." ”

Xie Mulin had been waiting for her a little impatiently, and when she heard this, she was naturally kind and flowing: "The third sister comes and sits, the girls will not approach the main house without my instructions." As he spoke, he poured Xie Yingrong a cup of hot tea, and pushed the two plates of pastries that could be used as snacks next to the teacup, so as to ensure that his third sister could eat and drink enough and have enough strength to cope with her temptation.

Xie Yingrong was full of worries, and did not notice Xie Mulin's careful thoughts. She sat down on the side of the kang as she said, sat with Xie Mulin across the kang a few pairs, looked at her second sister, and stopped talking again.

Xie Mulin didn't bother to wait for her to hesitate before deciding whether to speak, and planned to make a start for her: "The third sister came to me tonight, isn't it because of my fiancé Zhu Rui's background?" In the past few days, I have seen Aunt Jin asking about these things everywhere. In fact, the third sister was curious and wanted to ask, so she just came to me directly. There are a lot of people in our family who know about this, and the third sister rarely talks and laughs with her sisters on weekdays because she rarely socializes with people outside, so she will be a little more closed-minded. In Beiping City, many people have known about this for a long time. ”

Xie Yingrong looked shocked: "There are many people in Beiping City who know?!" How is that possible?! "Isn't that a big secret? In the previous life, it was only after Xiao Rui's death that rumors leaked one after another. Ordinary officials and people don't have the ability to inquire about it, just because the Jiang family and the Cao family are in-laws, and they have connections in the Ningguo Marquis's mansion, Mrs. Jiang heard about who Xiao Rui's biological father was, so she discussed it at home. If it is another official eunuch, where can I inquire about this kind of palace secret? Why is it that in Beiping City in this life, Xiao Rui's life experience is known to everyone? !

That's right...... Now people outside say that Xiao Rui is the son of King Yan, so this matter is not right. So the so-called Xiao Rui's life experience that the world knows is actually fake, right?! It was deliberately fabricated and publicized by someone with a heart! Today's Literature Network

Xie Yingrong froze, his eyes flashed, and he asked Xie Mulin tentatively: "There are many rumors outside, and there are all things that others say, what is the truth?" I only asked the second sister, and what the second sister knew must be the truth! ”

Xie Mulin paused, feeling that if he wanted to hear the information of his previous life from Xie Yingrong, he couldn't prevaricate the other party with casual words, otherwise there would be no way to observe the truth from the change in the other party's expression. So she very frankly told the version of Xiao Rui's life story that was circulating in Beiping City, and saw Xie Yingrong's exclamating expression, but she was not so shocked, so she changed her tone and told the truth she knew: "Actually, Brother Rui's biological mother is not the Miss Xiao, but the maid Li Shi. Although Miss Xiao had a marriage contract with His Royal Highness King Yan, she had an affair with another man with a noble status. ”

When Xie Yingrong heard this, he couldn't help but show a stunned expression: "What Li?" Isn't Xiao Rui's biological mother General Xiao's sister?! ”

Xie Mulin blinked and smiled: "This is an external statement, in fact, Brother Rui's biological mother is the Li family." It's just that King Yan secretly returned to Beijing back then, and in order not to let outsiders know, he quickly rushed back to the front line. By the time his class teacher returned to the dynasty, Miss Xiao had already passed away. General Xiao was afraid that the news of Miss Xiao's affair with someone would leak out, so he detained the Li family who knew about it, pretended that she was his concubine, and also regarded the son she gave birth to as his own son and recorded it in the genealogy of the Xiao family. Even if he found out that King Yan knew about it afterwards, he didn't dare to say what he had done, and he felt that King Yan would marry someone else sooner or later and give birth to an heir, even if he hid someone else's son, it didn't matter. After all, King Yan and the Li family were only a spring breeze, they didn't know that they had a son, and they didn't bother to inquire about her whereabouts, and after marrying the current Princess Yan, they went back to Beiping directly. ”

When King Yan had no heirs for many years and had to plan to succeed the prince from the royal family, the Li family finally found an opportunity to contact his ex-lover, and the truth was exposed, and King Yan finally had his own heir.

Xie Mulin specially erased the existence of the emperor and Empress Cao, Xiao Guifei and others in this story, and vaguely made up a story that was roughly the same, and told Xie Yingrong. It's just that she observed the change in Xie Yingrong's expression and felt that something was wrong.

Xie Yingrong seems to be very dismissive of the fact that "Li Yaozhi is Xiao Rui's biological mother".

Xie Mulin claimed that Li Yaozhi had been a concubine for General Xiao for many years, even if the two were innocent, it might attract gossip from outsiders and make people question Xiao Rui's bloodline, so King Yan discussed with General Xiao and recognized Miss Xiao, who died early, as Xiao Rui's biological mother, but he didn't say that his biological mother was the eldest lady of the Xiao family, and only called him a general "Xiao family". And the party Xiao Rui felt that this approach was too wronged by his own mother, and he had always wanted to fight for her as she deserved. Helplessly, Li himself had already seen through Hongchen and became a nun, but opposed his son's approach and insisted that he recognize Miss Xiao as his mother.

When Xie Yingrong heard this, he showed a disapproving expression and smiled sarcastically: "I understand." This Li is also a faithful servant girl. She worked hard, why did her second brother-in-law live up to it? Honestly obey the arrangements of the elders. It's all for his good! ”

Xie Mulin raised his eyebrows, and was about to test what Xie Yingrong meant by this, but he heard the other party ask again: "Second brother-in-law's life experience...... The emperor also knew, he agreed to this arrangement, didn't he? Does the Queen Mother know? ...... in the palace What about the other princes? The Three Princes...... Do they know the truth?! ”

Xie Mulin paused: "Why did the third sister mention these nobles? Reggo's background...... What does it have to do with them? ”
