This time, it was Xiao Rui's turn to be in a daze.

He had just learned about his life experience, his mind was full of confusion, and his mind was in turmoil, although he also felt that there were many points in the words between King Yan and Aunt Li that he did not understand, but he did not suspect that they were lying. They have all been sainted in front of the palace, and the emperor has also sent a message, saying that he wants to modify the clan jade, how can this kind of thing be fake?! He just found it difficult to accept for a moment, but not enough to be cranky.

But now, Xie Mulin raised these suspicions, and his mind cleared up a little, and he also found that his biological mother and the person he used to think was his father had done a lot of strange behaviors.

But he didn't want to guess these two relatives too badly, so he quickly came up with an answer: "My aunt took the initiative to deceive His Royal Highness King Yan at the beginning, maybe ...... You don't have the face to tell him the truth, right? She never thought that the Yan Wangfu would have no heirs, only that Princess Yan or other concubines in the palace would always give birth to heirs for His Royal Highness King Yan. In fact, to this day, His Royal Highness King Yan is still in the prime of life, and he may not have children in the future. When the palace proposed to pass the heir, the aunt probably began to regret it, so she took the initiative to ask His Royal Highness King Yan for help. She asked His Royal Highness King Yan to help me in matters such as marriage and official position, but in fact, it was just an excuse, and the purpose was to tell His Royal Highness King Yan in person, my true life experience, right? ”

As for General Xiao Mingde, it is estimated that it was also to ensure that there would be no changes between the emperor and the Cao family, which would affect the emperor's status. And when the imperial power was restored and the power of the Cao family was greatly reduced, he couldn't say it anymore. After all, he had concealed the existence of King Yan's son for many years, and no matter how much he was valued by the emperor, he was only a foreign minister, but King Yan was the emperor's brother, and he didn't want to be punished for this matter. Anyway, King Yan has a wife and a daughter, and he will always have a son in the future. There are really no sons, and there will be royal heirs. As an outsider, Xiao Mingde may not think that Xiao Rui will be his concubine all his life, which will make Yanwang's mansion cut off the incense. On the contrary, if Xiao Rui is sent back to the Yanwang Mansion, it will lead to his own deception of the monarch back then, and there will be endless troubles in the future.

Xiao Rui is closer to and trusts his biological mother than his father, and suddenly his life experience is revealed, which also makes him suspicious of Xiao Mingde, and he will subconsciously suspect the other party's selfishness. Of course, when he told Xie Mulin what he thought, he used a more tactful expression, but the meaning was almost the same. He also guessed that when King Yan went out of the palace with Aunt Li and Xiao Mingde, the former ignored the latter, as if the latter did not exist, perhaps because his resentment against the latter had not disappeared.

After hearing this, Xie Mulin was silent for a while before speaking again: "I have always felt that General Xiao is a decent person, loyal to the emperor, and has little selfishness. Therefore, he will oppose the involvement of the three princes in the matter of seizing the heir, and also oppose the daughter marrying the third prince as a concubine, even if he loves you in his heart, he still regards the eldest son as the heir, but arranges for you to be those foreign military attachés who are stable and rich but have little room for development. However, listening to your speculation, I always feel that I ...... As if there was some misunderstanding about him in the past...... "Has General Xiao Mingde's character collapsed?" Just because he was afraid that he would be punished, he sat back and watched the emperor who was loyal to him give up a son to his own brother who had no heirs?

Xiao Rui touched his nose, pursed his lips and said, "That's right...... Father doesn't seem to be that kind of person. If he doesn't have enough reason, there is no reason to hide such an important matter from the emperor! ”

"What's more, he also took your aunt ...... The woman of King Yan took you as a concubine, remembered you as a concubine, and has always treated you as a real concubine. If you are his blood relative, it will be fine, but you have nothing to do with him, isn't this really an offense to the royal family? Xie Mulin was full of wondering, "And now that the emperor and King Yan know the truth, they don't even have the intention of pursuing it, just let you go back to Beiping with King Yan to live......

She paused, and suddenly remembered something: "His Royal Highness King Yan only said that you should go back to Beiping with him, did you mention how your aunt arranged it?" Although your aunt gave birth to you and saved the Yan Wangfu from extinction, after all, she has been the concubine of General Xiao for so many years, and no matter how deep she is, outsiders have heard of it, can she still follow you back to the Yan Wangfu and live as the concubine of the Yan Wang? ! Even if General Xiao is innocent with her, outsiders don't know, they will still gossip, right?! ”

Xiao Rui suddenly became serious: "What you say is reasonable...... I hadn't thought much of it before. Father...... What General Xiao said was that let me and my aunt pack our bags, and did not say that he wanted to keep her. This is a matter of course, after the truth is revealed, it is impossible for Xiao Mingde to continue to let Aunt Li live by his side as a concubine. The woman who gave birth to an heir for King Yan should at least be crowned a side concubine, right? This can't be compared with the concubine room of the General's Mansion at all! Xiao Mingde didn't have such a big face to leave people behind.

However, such a question arises, Aunt Li has been the aunt of the General's Mansion for so many years, can she really successfully invite the prince to be the side concubine? I'm afraid that even the identity of an official palace concubine will be difficult to correct the name, right? If it is not good, even the identity of Xiao Rui, the son of King Yan, will be questioned about his bloodline! If the emperor and King Yan are interested in letting Xiao Rui inherit the throne of the prince of King Yan's mansion, then the issue of identity must be made clear.

Xie Mulin recalled what Xiao Rui had mentioned about Aunt Li's strange behavior before, and had an ominous premonition: "I think...... You'd better go back and keep an eye on your aunt and tell her not to do anything stupid...... Before, she gave you all her wealth, as if she didn't leave a way back for herself...... If she has the will to die and doesn't want her existence to affect your future, then it makes sense! Maybe I'm just thinking a little too much and things don't get to this point, but there's nothing wrong with being careful...... You'd better be on the lookout. ”

From the first sentence she spoke, the expression on Xiao Rui's face became more serious and uneasy. By the time she finished speaking, he had already jumped up, his face pale: "You're right!" Aunt she...... Something is really wrong with her! She just packed my belongings for me, and she packed them all, but she only handed me the valuable things, and most of her belongings were left untouched. She only said that she didn't have to work and packed my luggage first, but she didn't have any plans to do so......"

Xiao Rui gritted his teeth and held Xie Mulin's hand tightly: "Good sister, thank you for reminding me!" I'll go first, and I'll send you another message later!" With that, he rushed out the door.

Xie Mulin chased to the door, only to see his back flashing away at the back door, hoping that his guess was just thinking too much, Aunt Li Yaozhi was still safe and sound, and there was no thought of suicide.

Otherwise, Xiao Rui will be too miserable.

Her marriage to Xiao Rui can't be mentioned again in a short time.

However, if Xiao Rui officially becomes the son of King Yan, his identity will be different from before. Will the marriage between him and her still go smoothly?

It is even more unlikely that she will be able to live the small family life she wants in the future.

Maybe there will be countless elders with distinguished status who stuff women next to Xiao Rui, open and close their mouths to be polite or something......

Xie Mulin sat back at the table a little weakly, only feeling that his heart was in a mess. But the third brother Xie Huizhi had already fallen asleep in the inner room, and the snoring had been ringing for a long time, and she didn't even have anyone who could discuss things, so she could only sit alone and sigh.
