Xue Dingshan was silent again, and it took a long time before he let out a long sigh and said, "What happened two years ago, I just wanted to fulfill her, not because I disliked her and deliberately wanted to break her heart. ”

"What did you say?" Xue Yulian made him stunned for a word, and asked, "Are you trying to fulfill her?" What is it that fulfills her? ”

Xue Dingshan smiled bitterly: "Her heart is no longer in me, why should I forcibly tie her to my side." ”

"You talk nonsense!" Xue Yulian scolded softly: "Aunt Ning, she has you in her eyes, heart, and life. How can you say such a thing? ”

Xue Dingshan smiled bitterly again: "I knew that my sister wouldn't believe what I said." People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. Although the younger brother is cold-hearted, he is not hard-hearted. Two years ago, I wanted to tie the knot with her. I never thought that when I returned to the cave room to be with her after I had paid homage to the prince, I saw her lying in a comatose bed. Yin Fengjiao, who served her, let me see a fetus that had not yet taken shape. ”

"What?" Xue Yulian was taken aback, "How is this possible?" ”

Xue Dingshan smiled and said, "Does my sister think I'm lying?" ”

Xue Yulian shook her head and said, "Are you mistaken?" ”

Xue Dingshan said: "How can I be wrong? What's more, there is Yin's reply. ”

Xue Yulian was silent for a long time before asking, "Is Aunt Ning's chastity so important to you?" ”

"Sister. Your brother is not a supernatural master, but he is not such a pedantic man. If she's been victimized, I'm not going to care about it. However, she is so strong in martial arts that I can't think of anyone who can harm her. Only if she empathizes and doesn't have me in her heart anymore, can she do something like that. Since her heart is no longer in me, why should I forcibly keep her people? I wrote a letter of resignation just to fulfill her, and I had no other intention. Otherwise, I would not rather suffer from prison and be accused of disloyalty and filial piety by my father, rather than publicize this matter. ”

Xue Yulian nodded and asked, "Who is Yin Fengjiao?" How come I haven't heard anyone talk about it. ”

"She is an orphan girl in distress, I met when I was patrolling the three armies. I saw that Yin's was pitiful, and I thought that when she left Hanjiang Pass, she left in a hurry and didn't bring a maid with her. He took the Yin family to serve her temporarily. After she left in a bad mood, I was detained by my father in the south prison, and the whereabouts of the Yin family are unknown. ”

Xue Yulian frowned, pondered for a long time, and said, "When did you invite Aunt Ning to the front of the two armies?" ”

Xue Dingshan thought for a while and said, "In the summer of three years ago, I went with Jiang Xu to invite her. ”

Xue Yulian asked again: "When did you get married on the orders of the crown prince?" ”

Xue Dingshan said: "Turn the spring of the year. My sister asked what this was for? ”

Xue Yulian didn't answer his question, and continued to ask: "To say that, it has been more than half a year since Aunt Ning left Hanjiang Pass to when you got married?" ”

Xue Dingshan saw Xue Yulian asking step by step, his heart was a little unhappy, and his face was not easy to bring out, so he had to say, "Yes." ”

Xue Yulian asked again: "Since you said that she left Hanjiang Pass in a hurry and didn't bring a maid, then who has been serving her for most of the year?" ”

Xue Dingshan said: "It's Xia He and Xia Yue by my mother's side. ”

"Oh!" Xue Yulian groaned slightly, and said: "The fetus that has not yet formed is only three months at most, and Aunt Ning has been under your nose for most of the year, and there is Xia He by your side, Xia Yue is watching." Is it possible that she is unaware of what is going on? ”

"This ......" Xue Dingshan, who asked in one sentence, was speechless.

"Yunfeng, thanks to you, you are still the proud disciple of Wang Chan Ancestor, and you have been studying art in Yunmeng Mountain for five years. Where have you learned all those war books and war books? You can't see through such a small divisive plan, so you can be fooled so easily. Xue Yulian said, and suddenly raised her hand to hit Xue Dingshan. The hand fell halfway, but stopped again. He sighed heavily and said, "Alas! If it weren't for the pity in your heart, I would rather be aggrieved by myself, and I didn't publicize this matter and put Ning Gu in a nowhere to go, I would have to beat you today. ”

Xue Dingshan slowly leaned back on the back of his chair, folded his hands on his chest and closed his eyes silently.

"You're not convinced?" Xue Yulian asked.

Xue Dingshan shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "My sister is an outsider, so she can calmly analyze the details inside and see through the mysteries. ”

"So, you've thought it was a ploy? But you don't dare, or don't want to admit it? ”

Xue Dingshan was still speechless.

Xue Yulian said: "You admit that this is just a ploy, which means that the decision you made at the beginning was extremely wrong. Not only did you ruin your newlywed marriage with your own hands, but also the subsequent defeat of the White Tiger Pass and your father's sacrifice for the country are inextricably linked to this matter. You are afraid that your heart will bear the responsibility that you can't shirk, so you don't dare to admit it. You have repeatedly told yourself that what happened at the beginning was true, and you refused to accept Aunt Ning because you were afraid that she would expose the so-called facts that you were trying so hard to maintain, so that you could not accept it. ”

A desolate smile flashed across Xue Dingshan's face, and he said, "When will my sister learn not to leave any room for others?" ”

"There are clouds in the Analects: 'If you pass and do not change, it is said to be excessive'; you also have clouds: 'The mistakes of villains must also be written'; and 'Scholars know shame, and then they are brave'. People are not afraid of making mistakes, they are afraid of being wrong and do not know it, and they know it but do not change it. You have already made a mistake in the matter of Suoyangguan, and you should correct it in time and make up for it in time. But you, not only do you not know and don't change it, but you use one mistake after another to cover up the mistake you made at the beginning. What are you? Cowardice, stupidity, ignorance......"

Xue Dingshan smiled bitterly: "Sister must be very disappointed? Your brother is nowhere near as good as you think he is. ”

Xue Yulian shook her head and said, "Alas! Disappointed? I am disappointed that you are also my brother, flesh and blood, and you can't change it until now. But what about Aunt Ning? She doesn't owe you anything, so why should she bear all the consequences for your mistakes? Do you remember what I said to you yesterday? You saw her this morning, too. What are you going to do? ”

Xue Dingshan pondered for a long time and said, "I don't know. ”

Xue Yulian looked at him and said, "Now that the most difficult period of recovering the lost territory has passed, you can deal with the next things, and there is no point in Aunt Ning staying here any longer." You write a letter of resignation, make a complete break. You continue to cling to what you believe to be true. I will take her back to Bishan, and from then on, whether she lives or dies, whether she keeps or marries, has nothing to do with you. What do you think? ”
