Xie Mulin had a feeling that it was difficult to put into words.

Xiao Rui's tragic experience, she listened to it and was not completely untouched. But after the sympathy was over, her judgment was not too affected. After all, she is also a person who has been trained in various film and television animations, and the protagonist's tragic situation but successful counterattack stories have long been rotten on the street. Isn't it the protagonist of the "beautiful, strong and miserable"? The most fan-attracting character is actually not very unusual. Xiao Rui's experience, seriously speaking, is actually not too miserable.

So Xie Mulin was a little skeptical, was Xiao Rui selling miserably to win the sympathy of his second brother, so that the second brother could let go of his rejection and vigilance against him?

Xie Mulin has not been able to verify this speculation, but looking at Xie Jinzhi's reaction, he knows that Xiao Rui sold quite successfully.

Xie Mulin was a little unhappy, thinking to himself, are you pursuing me? Then why do you have a trick not to rush me, but to plan for my brother to go?

She didn't show a smile on her face, just sat there quietly, as if listening carefully to Xiao Rui's story.

However, it was precisely because she was too calm and lined with Xie Jinzhi's too sincere feelings that Xiao Rui noticed something strange and reflected on whether she had gone too far? It's better to be a little more restrained, after all, he wants the Xie family to know that he is an aspiring young man who is tenacious and positive in the face of adversity, and he is worthy of entrusting his daughter for life, not a miserable and helpless little pitiful, who can't keep himself, let alone take care of his partner.

So Xiao Rui talked a few words about his experience when he was suppressed by his mother and brother, and briefly talked about how he was almost framed as a well-known thief, and he lost his cleverness, and transferred the property that others stole into his room in time, and finally maintained his innocence, and let the people who calculated themselves steal chickens and rice, and then began to turn into a new chapter.

After suffering the losses of his mother and brother, Xiao Rui also knew that he wanted to serve under his father, which was unreasonable. Since his father intended to send him to a foreign guard to earn a future, he was obedient. He practiced riding and archery martial arts seriously in private, but he no longer begged for performance in front of his father, and also paid attention to making his brother the most outstanding among all those who practiced martial arts at the same time.

He learned his skills in such a low-key manner, and at the same time maintained contacts with Dong Huiwu and other gentlemen, and successfully maintained his image as a "gentleman". In fact, he didn't do anything unruly, at most he ate and drank with other people, he didn't even go to Fengyue's place, and half of the reputation outside was spread by his mother and brother, and half of it was his own ghost.

This is not without benefits, so Xiao Rui has run a news network in the capital in a low-key manner, has several small industries, and has supported some people, and has lived a much more comfortable life.

It's just that it didn't take long for the third prince to come to the door again, and with years of friendship, he asked him to help with some small things, and the concubine also gave a message to his mother-in-law, Lu. Xiao Rui couldn't agree or not, and his heart was somewhat moved by the rhetoric of the third prince. After all, they are cousins who grew up together, and even if they have had many unpleasant experiences, happy days are not without them.

What's more, with the signboard of the third prince in front of him, his mother and brother can no longer wear small shoes for him, and the situation on the side of his aunt Li Yaozhi is much easier. Xiao Rui thought that he hadn't reached the age of being released by his father anyway, so he would hang out with the third prince for two years. If what he entrusts himself is just a trivial matter, he can help it easily, but the really troublesome things will not be touched.

The third prince was probably also worried that he had many calculations and it was inconvenient for his uncle Xiao Mingde to know, so he didn't dare to reveal the real secret to Xiao Rui easily. Zhao Ying's incident was an accident. Xiao Rui really thought that the third prince was really in love with Zhao Ying, and he couldn't bear to see him suffer from love, so he escorted him to a private meeting with a beautiful woman several times. When the truth was revealed, Xiao Rui was extremely disappointed, but he also made up his mind to give up this childhood friend completely.

Xiao Rui solemnly said to Xie Jinzhi and Xie Mulin: "Speaking of this matter, I am also responsible. If it weren't for my help, Zhao Ying might not have fallen so easily and was deceived by His Royal Highness. Now I have retrieved all of Zhao Ying's handles from Her Third Highness, but I have detained two of her handwritten letters and handed them back to her for disposal, just to keep it secret for her, and at the same time to make up for my past mistakes. After this incident, whether Zhao Ying is good or bad depends on her own creation, and I can face the whole thing calmly without feeling guilty and uneasy. ”

Xie Jinzhi and Xie Mulin did not know the inside story from Xie Yinghui's letter, and now they understand that Xiao Rui's concealment of Ma Yurong is effective. The brother and sister exchanged a look, but silently agreed with Xiao Rui's approach. Although he deceived Ma Yurong in order to protect Zhao Ying, this did not harm the Ma family. This kind of white lie, the Xie family brothers and sisters are not unacceptable.

Xiao Rui told them about the conversation he had with the three princes before he left Beijing, and frankly admitted that he was determined to distance himself from the three princes: "Changhuaiwei is too close, and Beiping is far enough." I even hid my father from me, and I wanted to seek a military position in the northern border town, just to completely get rid of the shackles of the palace and family, and gain a foothold in the army with my true skills. The Yan Wangfu may take some care of me, but with the temperament of His Royal Highness the Yan King, that kind of care is also limited, and I will never be told to take military merit in vain if I don't do anything.

"If I'm just a rhetorical person, I'll be vulnerable to battle as soon as I go on the battlefield, and losing my life is also my life, His Royal Highness King Yan won't say much. But if I can rely on myself, not only to gain a firm foothold in the border town, but also to get ahead, then my future is bright. No matter who it is, the concubine, the third highness, my father, my wife, or my brother, they can't stop me anymore. ”

He clenched his fists and smiled, "I believe I have what it takes to do this." ”

Xie Jinzhi took a long breath and nodded solemnly: "I also believe that Brother Xiao will never be a straw bag on paper, but a warrior who really has the ability to earn a merit for himself at the border pass!" ”

Xiao Rui smiled at him, and suddenly the tone of his words changed: "Then the incident I mentioned earlier......"

What's up? Q: Does Shemulin have a marriage contract?

Xie Jinzhi reacted instantly, frowned, but did not decisively refuse: "Although I am the brother of the second sister, I still have parents and grandmothers at home. Brother Xiao asked me this, it was still too presumptuous. I can only tell you that the younger sister originally had a marriage contract with the second son of the Jiang family, but when her father was framed and imprisoned in the spring, the Jiang family had already sent someone to withdraw the marriage contract, and she never mentioned it again. The sister is still in the boudoir, and the elders in the family have not mentioned the matter of seeing each other. If Brother Xiao really wants to, please let the elders in the family mention it, there is no rule for asking this kind of thing directly in front of the girl. ”

Xie Mulin tugged at the corners of his mouth, knowing that Xiao Rui's psychological offensive had succeeded, look, the tone of his second brother Xie Jinzhi's speech was different, and he was still shouting "Brother Xiao" at Xiao Rui!

She glanced at Xiao Rui, but saw him show a bright smile at herself: "I know." Second Brother Xie, please rest assured, I am also the son of an official eunuch who has been studying and observing etiquette since I was a child, how can I not know the rules? Please give me a little time, let me make achievements in the north, I will definitely not disappoint the Xie family! ”
