Chapter 12: Deception

"Kunze City? The Xu family had lived there for a few years. At the mention of this place, Xu Li glanced at his eldest brother. Big brother should be more familiar. He has lived in Kunze City longer than I do. ”

Everyone looked at Xu Ren, and Xu Ren smiled slightly unnaturally: "That was many years ago." I was practicing medicine all day, and I didn't pay attention to the scenery. ”

"yes, that was years ago." Xia Wanhua interjected in a slightly deep voice.

There is a problem.

The fox eye swept the three people, and then picked up a piece of peach bun with chopsticks and put it in the summer wanhua bowl. "Sister Wanhua, I am purely borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. When I arrived in Kyoto, I settled down and carefully selected a decent return gift to thank you for your hospitality. ”

"Cousin Rong is really polite. Etiquette is light and affectionate. That's enough! Xia Wanhua shook her chopsticks and took a bite of it.

Xu Xin smiled and picked up the wine jug and began to pour the wine, pouring the wine again and again, and muttering: "Cousin Rong, Sister Wanhua, she doesn't lack anything, what she values most is her heart." If you have no heart and are not sincere, you give her this world, and she may not appreciate it. ”

"It's still the fifth brother who understands me. I'm not used to hypocrisy, singing praises of virtue. That set really didn't work for me at all. I don't live just to hear a few compliments from others. Whether you praise me or not, why am I so tired of living for a few compliments. ”

Xia Wanhua lifted the wine glass, faced Rong Zhao, and smiled sincerely.

"That's why people like me don't get along well, and I have no friends since I was a child, so I was hated by others. It's a little too self-contained, and it doesn't fit in with the other sisters in the family. ”

"That's the self you have the capital to live with." Rong Zhao couldn't help but sigh, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Yes, I have capital!" After all, Xia Wanhua also drank it all.

Xu Renyi on the side frowned. "Wanhua pays attention to your body, drinking alcohol is not good for your health."

Xia Wanhua put down her wine glass and laughed. "It doesn't matter! It doesn't hurt to take a few sips. My own body, I know it well. Senior brother, you always underestimate me, always be! ”

A "senior brother" called Xu Ren immediately felt weak. He looked at Xia Wanhua's immediately red face, and he somewhat understood in his heart. "In the past, you were only a little girl who didn't know the world, and you can't think like that in the future."

Xia Wanhua sneered, looked at Rong Zhao, and her eyes burned: "Cousin Rong, you are the fourth son of the Rong family in Pingcheng, by asking, are there any children in the family who are not familiar with the world?" ”

"Ignorant of the world?" Rong Zhao pouted and smiled. "That's only the dead."

"That's it!" Xia Wanhua raised her glass and saluted Rong Zhao. "I just like Cousin Rong's straightforwardness."

"But then again. I've always lived in a deep boudoir, and some people think I don't understand anything. I don't want to think about why my whole family was slaughtered, but I survived! What do you say, my brother? ”

Suddenly, Xia Wanhua's eyes were like knives, and the anger on her face was unconcealed. "My good brother, my good brother! I never thought you would be my enemy! ”

"Wanhua, you!" Xu Ren's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were stunned. "You shouldn't drink."

"yes, I'm not supposed to drink!" Xia Wanhua put down the wine glass fiercely, clenched her teeth, closed her eyes, and gasped.

"Xu Ren, I didn't want to talk about this. This afternoon, I sat in meditation for an afternoon, trying to convince myself that I could calm my mind. But when I heard the words 'Kunze City', I couldn't control myself anymore. You know why? Xia Wanhua looked at Xu Ren with a deep sense of disappointment and sadness in her eyes.

At this moment, Xia Wanhua is completely sharp, just like a bow and crossbow ready to be fired, with killing intent surging.

Xu Ren closed his thick eyes, and his originally thick face was suddenly full of tiredness.

"I wonder why you doubt me?"

Xia Wanhua waved his hand. "Yufu, send the sixth girl back."

Xu Xiuan was about to shout, but was stopped by Xu Li'an on the side. Xu Xiuan looked at her third sister's eyes that wanted to kill, immediately lowered her head, and obediently followed Yufu out of Taoyuan.

Out of Taoyuanzhai, Xu Xiuan spun around uneasily, hesitated in the direction of Zhixiangtang, and went straight to Xu Qingfang's study.

The maids in the entire front hall were also quietly dismissed by Yufu, leaving only Xia Wanhua, Rong Zhao, and the four brothers of the Xu family and Xu Li'an sitting quietly.

After a while, Xia Wanhua took off an ordinary golden hairpin from his head and pushed it in front of Xu Ren. "Do you remember this?"

"What Princess Chun gave me back then, I gave it to you." Xu Ren glanced at it and replied softly.

"Do you know what this thing is?" Xia Wanhua asked with tears in her eyes.

More than once in her heart, she asked herself why him! But only Xu Ren can give her the answer. But she also knows that the answer is a knife! will poke her heart hard.

Xu Ren shook his head. But he knew that thing was important.

"This is the talisman that my father left to my mother!" Xia Wanhua suddenly screamed.

That kind of hysteria is something no one has ever seen.

The pain in her eyes had already told everyone that she was really disappointed and in pain.

"You gave it to the woman as a vote! For the glory and wealth of your Xu family, you directly killed my mother! Do you know how much my mother trusts you, so she handed over to you this token that can mobilize my father's hidden guard? ”

She is a lone star, and she has carried the notoriety of her father and mother since she was a child. This is true for both lifetimes.

So she has no feelings for her mother. She doesn't have the feelings of her father and mother.

So what she hurts is Xu Ren's deception!

Why is it him? Her brother, her benefactor, her best friend. One of the few supports she had in her life. could have gotten along for a lifetime, but in the end they became enemies. Why did fate play such a joke on her.

"I, I didn't know it was a token!" Xu Ren moved his body back and shook his head again and again. "When I was only ten years old, Empress Dowager Xiao asked me for what Princess Chun gave me, and I gave her the golden hairpin. I didn't know it was a token. ”

"You don't know it's a talisman?" Xia Wanhua turned her face sideways and glanced at him.

All of a sudden he wasn't him anymore. Cowardice, quibbling, shirking responsibility. Was it because she hadn't seen him clearly before?

"Even if you don't know it's a token, but you report to Xiao Tanfeng, what's going on?"

"At that time, Princess Chun was pregnant with you, and I followed my master to give birth to Princess Chun. After all, Empress Dowager Xiao is your imperial grandmother, let me keep you informed of Princess Chun's condition, this is normal! ”

Xu Ren's hands clutched the cushion tightly, and his body tensed.

He was scared.

Xu Li, who was sitting next to Xu Ren, felt it very obviously.

"It's normal!" Xia Wanhua leaned over and stared at those thick eyes, eager to tear people apart with her gaze.

"But my mother asked you to keep the golden hairpin and not tell anyone, why did you betray my mother? If it weren't for the fact that my mother had lost the token of mobilizing the hidden guards, how could Xiao Tanfeng dare to kill my mother! ”
