Chapter 19: Fragmentary Clues
Leng Yunyan's gaze fell on Xiao Xue, as if she remembered something.
"Xiao Xue, when did you start following your mother" Hearing this, Xiao Xue raised her head and looked at Leng Yunyan in surprise.
Why did Leng Yunyan ask this question, and what did she know? But it seems to be just an inconsequential issue.
"Master, since the slave was born, she has been the princess's mother" Leng Yunyan was silent, Xiao Xue turned out to be the son of the family, she never knew this.
According to age, now Xiao Xue is thirty in her twenties, she is twenty-nine years old, Xiao Xue is five years older than herself, and her mother married into Prince Gong's mansion and had her own the next year, so does Xiao Xue know what happened in those five years?
"Xiao Xue, do you remember what happened before you were six years old?" Leng Yunyan felt that she had found a breakthrough, a breakthrough that was by her side but had been ignored by her for many years.
Xiao Xue was silent for a moment, has this day still come? Things before the age of six are actually not so much of an impression, what can a child before the age of six expect her to remember? Unless it is important enough or unusual to stimulate or even change her life, it will not be remembered by a child.
"Slave doesn't remember a lot" doesn't remember a lot, that is, there are still things to remember, Leng Yunyan seems to have found a clue that hits the source, but can Xiao Xue's words be believed? If she finally knows the clues, can she believe it again, and she should know it.
"How much do you remember" Leng Yunyan's words were already a little trembling.
"Scattered and incomplete, the slave doesn't know where to start" Xiao Xue looked at Leng Yunyan's eyes as if she had made up her mind.
"Since that's the case, then I'll ask, and you can answer" Since Xiao Xue can't figure it out, she will sort it out.
"Where did my mother live before marrying into Prince Gong's mansion and becoming Prince Gong's princess?" Leng Yunyan's first sentence was like poking Xiao Xue's pain point, and her tears fell directly.
Xiao Xue's performance made Leng Yunyan's heart sink suddenly, and she began to hesitate, about the matter of Yu Xianyun, whether she still wanted to get to the bottom of it, and she couldn't bear to ask. Don't ask, this huge whirlpool will sweep her into it until she suffocates.
"It's just asking where your mother lives, why are you crying?" Leng Yunyan's voice had already cooled down.
"The slave maid is just not worth it for the princess" Leng Yunyan felt that she seemed to be getting closer and closer to the truth, but it seemed that this truth would suffocate her.
"Say!" One word, all emotions are pressed in this understatement.
"Before the princess married Prince Gong, she had always lived in the Zhenguo Mansion," Xiao Xue said in tears.
"Zhenguo Mansion?" She is eighteen years old, but she has never heard of a town in Da Chu! "Is it the mother's mother's family? Why have I never heard of Da Chu and Zhen Guogong?"
"It's not a maternal clan, the princess Niangniang was brought back from the battlefield by the Duke of Zhenguo, Niangniang is not a Da Chu clan, and there is no maternal clan in Da Chu" This time it was Leng Yunyan's turn to be silent, a woman who was brought back from the battlefield, without the support of her mother's family, without the help of her father and brother, as a person from another country, she became the eldest princess of Dachu, Princess Yuehan, and it is no wonder that those people look down on her, compared to her mother Yu Xianyun, she is indeed too far behind.
's mother is already famous all over the world at her age, and she is still trapped in the love of her children, which is ridiculous. "So, is Mother just a captive?"
"The princess is proud and noble all her life, how to be a prisoner, she is a guest of honor by the Zhenguo Gong, please come back" When Xiao Xue mentioned Yuxian Yun, there was light in her eyes, and that kind of light did not exist when she faced Leng Yunyan.
Leng Yunyan suspected Xiao Xue because there was a shadow of Xiao Xue in many things, but she trusted Xiao Xue because of this light when she mentioned her mother, she was the person left by her mother, and she didn't want to or want to doubt and dispose of this person.
"Then did my mother marry from the Zhenguo Mansion back then?" I heard that Prince Gong married the princess at the beginning, and the scene was extremely luxurious and full of pomp.
Xiao Xue looked at Leng Yunyan and couldn't say a word for a long time, should she tell Leng Yunyan the truth, this truth is too cruel for Leng Yunyan.
Leng Yunyan has been hard enough over the years, why make her worse?
As soon as Xiao Xue was about to speak, she met Leng Yunyan's cold eyes, and then she heard Leng Yunyan's warning words, "Xiao Xue, I don't want to send charcoal in the snow, and naturally I don't care about the icing on the cake, whether it's worse or worse, it's difficult, there's nothing I can't bear, so many things have happened, but if I have the slightest mistake or omission, I may be in a different place tomorrow, life and death are common things, and I don't have to care, but I am not willing to die in a conspiracy and calculation, and I can't even uncover the mystery until I die, then I won't die." ”
Death is not blind, death is not blind, it turns out that Leng Yunyan is afraid that he will not be blind, Xiao Xue's entire body began to tremble, and those unbearable memories poured into his mind.
She bit her lower lip until the smell of blood spread in her taste buds, don't remember, don't be trapped in memories, it's over, it's all gone, it's just that those dead eyes are engraved in her mind.
"The princess is married to Prince Gong with the dignity of a princess, so she naturally married from the palace." Leng Yunyan saw and heard Xiao Xue's trembling appearance and voice.
But she finally got close to the truth, how could she give up with a soft heart? No way.
"In this way, it's not bad, then the mother's wedding Zhen Guogong should be involved, after all, his mother was brought back by him, and the identity and status of Zhen Guogong are all there, even if he participates as a brother, there is no problem" Leng Yunyan clearly knew that he was tempting, testing an answer that he already had a vague guess in his heart.
"Zhen Guogong did not attend the wedding of the mother"
"Why?" Leng Yunyan's heart is getting colder and colder at the moment.
"Because the day the princess got married, it was ......" Xiao Xue seemed to be unable to bear to tell the truth.
"What is it?"
"It's the first seven of Zhen Guogong" Xiao Xue stopped crying at this time, but she didn't seem to be in good spirits.
"The first seven, the first seven...... How so? "In other words, Yu Xianyun got married on the day of the seventh day of the head of Zhenguo? This is unreasonable.
Even if Yu Xianyun has nothing to do with the Duke of Zhenguo, the death of the duke, according to the rules of Da Chu, even if it is not a national funeral, it is necessary to suspend the marriage of the whole country for a month, in order to show respect for the heroes, even the heavenly family has to suspend the marriage.
It is not easy to be a duke in Da Chu, the duke of Da Chu cannot be hereditary, only contemporary meritorious people can say that they have won this honor, Da Chu is that the three dynasties may not be able to have a duke, and the Duke of Zhenguo is the head of the duke, that is the existence of the king's whip, such a person is the first seven, who dares to marry? is still so blatantly extravagant and wasteful, even the emperor and queen agreed to handle the wedding.
The more Leng Yunyan thought about this, the more weird he felt, how he looked at it.
