803 Delusion (2nd Watch)
About half an hour later, Mu Yan came in a hurry under the guidance of Mama Liu.
Xu Xiyu clenched his fists tightly, and his face was no longer flustered, but unprecedentedly calm.
"Ah Yan, sit down." Xu Mingzhen motioned for Mu Yan to sit down, and followed him to talk about the matter from Jinyiwei's mansion today, and told him everything one by one.
His voice was harsh, with disappointment, shame, and helplessness.
Xu Xiyu's surname is Xu, what she did, their Xu family can't get rid of their responsibilities.
Mu Yan had long known that Jinyiwei had come to Xu Mansion to get people, and now he knew what happened later from Xu Mingzhen's mouth.
He's so smart, it's easy to get the talk!
Mu Yan didn't look at Xu Xiyu at all, and looked at Duanmu Fei who was sitting on the side with burning eyes.
After talking about the ins and outs, Xu Mingzhen rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Ah Yan, you can take people away." ”
The "person" he said is, of course, Xu Xiyu.
He originally thought that he would be able to work in the court for a few years and help his grandson, but he didn't expect that he was not strict in governing his family, but he made such a big mistake and caused trouble to his grandson.
Now what he is most worried about is that Xu Xiyu's matter will become a stain on his grandson.
Their Xu family dragged down their grandson.
Xu Mingzhen's expression was heavy, and his heart was also heavy, as if he was pressing down on a mountain, making him breathless.
The air in the pavilion also froze.
Xu Xiyu's eyes were deep, and he said calmly: "Cousin Yan, how about the conditions for us to talk about?" ”
Mu Yan looked at Xu Xiyu who was kneeling on the ground, and raised his eyebrows casually, "Let's talk about it." ”
Just these three words gave Xu Xiyu great confidence.
She knew that Mu Yan had to talk to her, and in this game, she had an innate advantage.
Her surname is Xu.
Xu Xiyu's eyes were deep and sharp.
She stood up from the ground with her chin high, stroked her dress, then looked at Mu Yan again, and said slowly, "Cousin Yan, I am innocent." Otherwise, the Xu family and I will be guilty. ”
Xu Xiyu looked at Mu Yan without blinking, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she did not hide the threat in her words.
She is threatening Mu Yan, she is the daughter of the Xu family, if she is convicted of collaborating with the enemy, then the Xu family will be guilty of the same crime, and the Xu family will be finished.
Now Mu Yan only has two choices, either he will not pursue her guilt, or she will talk nonsense when she goes to court, pull the Xu family into the water, and let the Xu family accompany her to the funeral.
Mu Yan didn't speak, opened and closed the folding fan in his hand, and looked at Xu Xiyu lightly.
Seeing this, Xu Xiyu's heart became more determined, and said to himself that as long as Mu Yan cared about the Xu family, then he would be constrained by himself, and then he would have nothing to do with himself.
"Cousin Yan, if I tell someone that it is the Xu family who fornicates with foreigners, and I am just instructed by my grandparents, do you think others will believe it?" Xu Xiyu smiled softly and softly, her tone was still soft, but the meaning of her words was aggressive, "Cousin, you are a smart person, you should understand what kind of choice is good for everyone, isn't it?" ”
She put a knife on the necks of the Xu family and Mu Yan.
The second elder of the Xu family on the side was furious when he heard this.
Xu Mingzhen slapped the case indignantly, raised his hand and pointed at Xu Xiyu, his voice trembled slightly with anger, "You...... What did you say?! ”
Xu Xiyu turned her head to look at Xu Mingzhen and his wife, her eyes were cold.
At this moment, she is very different from the Xu Xiyu who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy before, and the weak and pitiful Xu Xiyu on weekdays.
There was a shallow smile on the corner of her lips, with a hint of alienation, two coldness, and three smugness.
"Grandfather, I'm also for the good of the Xu family." Xu Xiyu said calmly, smiling like a flower, "If the Xu family has a collaborator, won't the whole door be connected?" ”
"Grandfather, you don't have to be so angry, it's not good to be angry when you're angry."
"It's very simple. If I am good, the Xu family will be good; If I'm not good, don't think about it well. ”
The autumn wind blew into the pavilion, blowing a few strands of broken hair on her sideburns, scattered on her fair cheeks, revealing a bit of nonchalance.
Xu Xiyu stroked her sideburns elegantly, looked at Mu Yan again, and asked with a smile, "Cousin Yan, is that so?" ”
She pursed her lips and smiled calmly, as if she was the victor, and the Xu family and Mu Yan could only bow their heads and beg for mercy at her.
The Xu family and the Mu family are her dependents!
Mu Yan was still silent, he slowly fanned the folding fan in his hand, as if he was thinking about something.
Xu Mingzhen was even more angry, his face was pale, and his chest rose and fell violently.
He stared at Xu Xiyu deadly. This granddaughter has no intention of introspection at all!
Mrs. Xu clutched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, and her eyes changed brightly and secretly.
She knew that this granddaughter was a little childish, and she knew that this granddaughter needed to be controlled, but she didn't expect this girl's problem to be so serious...... Does this girl really know what she's doing?!
Collaborating with the enemy and treason is not a small crime of stealing chickens and dogs, it is a sin that will bring disaster to the whole family.
Mrs. Xu has a thousand words to say, but she can't say them when the words reach her throat, and there is no point in saying anything now.
She had mixed feelings, more of which were heartache and self-blame.
She is sorry for her eldest son who died early, because she did not teach this granddaughter well.
Mrs. Xu closed her eyes and suppressed the pathos in her heart.
Sister Yu was not like this in the past......
When she was a child, Sister Yu was innocent and lively, smart and filial, and she once pulled her skirt to be coquettish, and called "grandmother" in a milky voice.
At this time, looking at the girl in front of her who was full of calculations, Mrs. Xu's eyes were in a trance, and her heart was like colic.
She raised her hand to cover her chest, her face was as white as paper, and her body was even more shaky.
"Grandmother, are you alright?" Duanmufei hurriedly gave Mrs. Xu a good breath, and personally handed her tea, and then turned his head and instructed Luofeng Dao outside the pavilion, "Luofeng, you go and ask the imperial doctor." ”
As far as Luofeng was concerned, Duanmu Fei's order was not bad with Mu Yan's own words, and he immediately received the order.
After Mrs. Xu drank two sips of warm tea, her breath eased slightly, but her face was still pale.
Xu Mingzhen gradually calmed down.
Xu Mingzhen once served as the governor of Liangguang, a dignified feudal official, and was envied until 19 years ago, when the situation changed abruptly, the eldest daughter died tragically, and then the younger daughter and the pro-Pu country, he resigned from the old man......
Xu Mingzhen has been beautiful, but he has also been down.
The past is as fresh as yesterday.
Xu Mingzhen knew that it was the young daughter Xu Jingsi and his relatives who saved the Xu family.
Today's jealousy of the Xu family has been a long time, at that time, the locust plague in Liangguang, because of the invasion of Pu State, the imperial court was short of military needs, and the disaster relief funds were not allocated to Liangguang for a long time, and the excerpts of his impeachment were delivered to the Jinluan Palace one by one.
Today, I will stay in the middle and not send it.
After that, Xu Jingsi offered to be willing to resign and return to his hometown for the sake of Dasheng and his relatives, so that the Xu family could survive.
Otherwise, with today's mind, the Xu family is afraid that it will be destroyed thirteen years ago.
In the past 19 years, the Xu family has experienced strong winds and waves, broken wrists to survive, and only then has it come to this day step by step, which can be said to be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon.
Although Xu Xiyu's actions made Xu Mingzhen angry and sad, compared to what their Xu family had experienced, there was nothing that they couldn't accept.
Xu Mingzhen calmed down, and when he opened his eyes again, his wise eyes were clear.
Xu Xiyu has been paying attention to Mu Yan and Xu Mingzhen's expressions, and has watched Xu Mingzhen slowly change from the anger at the beginning to the current indifference, his calm indifference is like treating a stranger who has nothing to do with it.
Xu Xiyu chuckled in her heart, panicking for no reason.
She always felt that the situation seemed to have undergone a subtle change when she didn't know it, and this feeling of being out of control made Xu Xiyu very unhappy.
She forced herself to suppress this weak emotion, and her appearance was still calm and unhurried, with a little toughness, she looked at Mu Yan and asked again in a cold voice: "Cousin Yan, how are you thinking about it?" ”
She was met with silence.
Xu Mingzhen did not speak.
Duanmu Fei was carefully massaging the acupoints on Mrs. Xu's hands, and comforted the old man in a low voice. Mrs. Xu's breath slowed slightly, and she didn't speak.
At this time, Mu Yan stopped the folding fan in his hand, and looked at Xu Xiyu with a pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to be smiling, and his dark pupils were unfathomable.
Xu Xiyu, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly felt a little bottomless, but she still told herself that the Xu family was extraordinary to Mu Yan, and it was impossible for Mu Yan to sit idly by.
If Mu Yan wants to succeed to the throne, he can't let his foreign family be suspected of collaborating with the enemy, otherwise even Mu Yan himself will be difficult to wash, and it will inevitably be doubted whether he also knows about it, or even participates in it.
Mu Yan is the regent, the regent collaborates with the enemy, does he still want to ascend to the throne smoothly in the future?
Isn't he afraid of being ridiculed and scolded by the world?!
Isn't he afraid of being questioned by future generations?!
Isn't he afraid of leaving a stench for 10,000 years?!
The panic in Xu Xiyu's heart was quickly dispelled.
There is a saying that porcelain does not fight with clay pots.
She's just alone, with a crockpot, and there's nothing to be afraid of.
Mu Yan is different, he is a precious porcelain, he has a noble status, his future is bright, and he will be the lord of Dasheng, which means that he has far more scruples than himself.
Mu Yan is a smart person, he must be able to distinguish the benefits and disadvantages, and letting her go alone can be exchanged for a bright future for himself and the Xu family, why not?!
Exactly how to choose, obviously.
Thinking about it, Xu Xiyu's smile became more determined, and there was even a hint of superiority in his expression, waiting for Mu Yan to bow his head and retreat.
Another cool autumn breeze blew, and the wind brought a few blood-red maple leaves, fluttering in the air, and the air exuded a desolate smell.
The autumn breeze gently blows the surrounding flowers and trees, making a "rustling" sound.
Mu Yan shook the folding fan in his hand again, the corners of his lips hooked, and finally opened his lips and said, "Do you want me to forgive you for your innocence?" ”
He said this in a questioning tone, with a hint of mockery.
Knowing that he was like Duanmu Fei and Xu Mingzhen, he heard it at once, but Xu Xiyu didn't hear the sarcasm in Mu Yan's words at all.
Xu Xiyu saw that Mu Yan finally reacted, and her heart was relieved, only thinking that Mu Yan was loyal and willing to back down.
"Yes." Xu Xiyu nodded, looked at Mu Yan for a moment, and said in a tough tone, "However, it's not enough to have a promise, I can't believe it." ”
Duanmu Fei asked curiously: "What else?" These three words made Mu Yan swallow back what he was about to say.
Xu Xiyu looked at Duanmu Fei with an almost pitying look, stroked his sleeve, and said methodically: "I know that it is easy for Cousin Yan's ability to kill me quietly, so I can't trust him." ”
"As long as Cousin Yan wants to marry me. From now on, I will be completely tied to him, and I will be at ease. ”
The original main room is the first wife that the man is marrying, and it is the wife who is married, even if the original partner dies in the future, the wife who marries can only be called the steproom, and the concubine is to be performed in front of the tablet of the original match.
To put it mildly, as long as she becomes Mu Yan's original partner, her name will enter the jade, enter the Taimiao, and be tied to Mu Yan in life and death.
As the saying goes: husband and wife are one, and wives and husbands are the same.
Only then will she be safe.
After her words fell, there was silence in the pavilion.
Xu Mingzhen looked at her coldly, she really dared to say it!
Xu Xiyu naturally felt Xu Mingzhen's gaze.
She sighed lowly, as if she was a little helpless, and said to Duanmu Fei: "Fourth girl Duanmu, I told you last time that I don't have a 'heart' for Cousin Yan, it's not that I went back on my word. I really have no intention of Cousin Yan, but I want to take the name of this original wife, and I can only wronged the girl as a concubine. ”
"......" Duanmu Fei was almost dumbfounded, thinking in his heart that Xu Xiyu had a brain in water, and he could even say such a thing. Where does the other party's self-confidence come from?
Looking at Duanmu's dumbfounded appearance, Xu Xiyu felt a strange sense of self-satisfaction.
She looked at Mu Yan again, and said lightly: "This is my condition, not only can I keep the Xu family, but you will not be dragged into the water, cousin Yan." Kill three birds with one stone. ”
"......" Duanmu Fei didn't want to say anything to Xu Xiyu anymore.
Mu Yan saw that Duanmufei's curiosity was satisfied, so he turned to Xu Mingzhen and said, "Grandfather, such a person...... I'll take it with me. ”
Xu Mingzhen nodded and didn't say anything.
Xu Mingzhen reached out from under the table and held Mrs. Xu's hand to soothe her emotions. From today on, they only think that their Xu family does not have Xu Xiyu.
"......" Xu Xiyu was still confused, and could only feel that something was wrong from Mu Yan and Xu Mingzhen's attitudes.
It seems that the situation is starting to get out of hand......
Mu Yan didn't want to say much, and instructed Mo You on the side: "Mo You, you and Mo Xu will take people to the East Factory." ”
East Factory?! Rao is Xu Mingzhen was also surprised, and looked at Mrs. Xu face to face.
In the next moment, there was another black shadow beside Mo You, and the two secret guards clenched their fists in unison to receive the order: "Yes, Childe." ”
The two secret guards clamped Xu Xiyu one left and one right, without any pity for the jade.
How so?! Xu Xiyu was dumbfounded, and her heart plummeted into the bottomless abyss. How complacent she was before, how disheartened she is now.
Mu Yan didn't look at Xu Xiyu, and said to Xu Mingzhen and his wife: "Grandfather, grandmother, let her be 'sick' first, and she will die in a few days." ”
Mu Yan meant to let the Xu family first announce that Xu Xiyu was sick, and then let her die in two days.
Since then, there is no longer Xu Xiyu in the Xu family, and it is a hundred.
Xu Mingzhen guessed that Mu Yan would let Xu Xiyu die of illness, but he didn't expect that he would send people to Dongchang, and he stopped talking.
Mu Yan misunderstood Xu Mingzhen's thoughts and said with relief: "Grandfather, don't worry. When she entered the East Factory, it wasn't what she wanted to say or didn't want to say. ”
As we all know, the edict of Dongchang is as good as that of Jinyiwei, no matter how hard his mouth is, he can pry it open, and no matter how hard a man is, he can make him succumb.
Xu Xiyu didn't expect Mu Yan to react like this at all, Mu Yan is he crazy?!
Is he going to gamble on his throne?!
Xu Xiyu struggled and shouted, threatening: "Let go of me!" Cousin Yan, do you think I don't dare? ”
"I will definitely tell Dongchang that my grandfather instructed me! It's the Xu family who collaborated with the enemy, I was just forced! ”
That's right, who would believe that she is such a little girl who collaborates with the enemy, anyone will think that she must have relatives behind her!
Xu Xiyu no longer had the same calmness as before, and the facial features on her beautiful face were a little hideous because of excitement, like a dying beast.
In this regard, Mu Yan only gave her four words: "Then say it." ”
He waved his hand casually, motioning for the two guards to quickly drag the man away.
What the?! Mu Yan's reaction once again surprised Xu Xiyu, making her forget to struggle for a while.
Mu Yan, he really doesn't care!!
This realization made Xu Xiyu feel cold, and she only felt that the air around her seemed to be drained all of a sudden, and it became more and more difficult to breathe.
Xu Xiyu opened her mouth slightly, and finally said nothing.
She can't be mistaken!
Xu's identity is her biggest backer, and now, whoever retreats first will lose!
Mu Yan must have thought that he wouldn't dare to talk nonsense when he arrived at the East Factory. Then he will definitely regret it! Definitely!
