Chapter 89: Cover-up

Yelan placed the teacup on the table and leaned back. Legs stacked under the chair. Obviously, the girl is surrounded by a hooligan temperament, but because of the beauty's stunning face, she looks very good, and the beauty is not in the skin. The hooligan temperament around him also seemed chic and eclectic.

He shrugged his shoulders and didn't rise or fall in his voice, as if he was just asking a normal question.

"It's nothing, it's just that I heard them talk about the forgetfulness of this Yejiazhuang, and I'm just curious."

Xu Lao didn't care about Yelan's sitting posture at the moment, even if he wanted to, he couldn't care about it.

Pick up the sleeves and pretend to be in the sky, and wipe the sweat. In fact, he wanted to hide people's eyes and ears, and he didn't want Yelan to see the cold sweat on his forehead.

After seeing it, he said secretly: It seems that it really has nothing to do with it, otherwise why would you be a thief.

Knowingly, he asked: "Old Xu, it's not yet February and August, why are you sweating?" Could it be ......?"

Before the words fell, I heard Xu Lao hurriedly deny: "No, no, how can the old man be weak-hearted." ”

Sure enough, there was a problem!

I saw Yelan say the last few words slowly: "Be weak." ”

With an uncertain look in his eyes, he slightly looked at the cold sweat on Old Xu's face.

Yelan opened the fan and fanned it slowly. jokingly said indistinctly: "Xu Lao hurriedly denied it before he heard what I said, isn't it a bit like there are three hundred taels of silver here?" ”

With Yelan's playful smile, Xu Lao knew that he had been tricked. I want to be angry, but I think of Yelan's super martial arts, forget it. In addition, the eyes of the Master of Forgotten Dust on the side are too cold, forgive him for being a mortal like him who can't bear such a heavy look from you.

Xu Lao tried to keep the smile on his face, and said brightly: "Isn't it anxious to explain without old decay, for fear that Xiaoyou will misunderstand." Old decay sweating is drinking tea hot, hot. ”

After saying that, he himself didn't believe this reason, and turned his head to the side and didn't dare to look at Yelan.

And Yelan didn't believe this reason, raised his eyebrows and deliberately said: "Oh yes, it is said that drinking tea pays attention to calmness, and the heart is calm and naturally cool." And Xu Lao sweated and got hot after I asked this question. It seems that Xu Lao's heart is very impetuous at the moment, and he can't even calm down the wind. And Xu Lao, haven't you heard a word? ”

When Xu Lao heard it, he subconsciously asked, wanting to change the topic.

"What...... What words. ”

I only heard Yelan's joking words ringing in my ears

"Explanation is disguise, and disguise is truth. So Old Xu, are you hiding the secret between you and Yejiazhuang? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Lao raised his head and stared at Yelan with wide eyes. And Yelan's eyes are not joking, the scrutiny in his eyes is like a sharp knife piercing the deepest secret hidden in Xu Lao's heart. Seeing this look, Xu Lao seemed to fall into memory.

Staring at Yelan didn't seem to be looking at her, as if he was looking at another person through her.

"Say, why do you want to do this? What is it for, could it be that you have rebelled? ”

The woman in the memory also looked at her with such a scrutinizing cold look, but there was a look of disappointment in her eyes.

It's a pity that the woman is gone, thirty years ago. That fire burned everything and destroyed everything.

"Too similar, too similar." ”

The whole person seemed to be stuck there, and his mouth was still muttering something.

"Do you say that Xu Lao is ......?"

Yelan didn't say the rest of the words, but she pointed to her head at Lichen, and then shook her head again, the meaning was obvious.

The young man held the teacup, and his slender fingers looked even more attractive against the white background. The young man is long, and his appearance is even more Zhilan Yushu, like the moon in his arms.

The brow bones are high and delicate, and the brow color is slightly pale in color. The pair of glass-like pale phoenix eyes are even more distinct, and the expression is also indifferent.

He sat there quietly, and said softly, "Don't talk about others behind your back." ”

Yelan was dissatisfied: "What, I'm talking about him in person." ”

The beauty and the monk glanced at her coldly, and the flamboyant girl obediently shut up.

looked at Xu Lao, who was still in his memory, and patiently shouted twice: "Xu Lao, Xu Zhensheng." ”

When Xu Lao heard this, his eyes became focused. It's obviously coming back to my senses, but the answer is a little intriguing.

"Huh? I didn't, trust me. ”

The girl sitting opposite raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes turned slightly, and she said with an intriguing look: "Old Xu, you don't have anything?" Do you want us to believe you, haven't you done something wrong? ”

Xu Lao also came back to his senses and said stupidly: "No, I just thought of some past events." ”

The girl didn't ask much, and continued to ask the original question.

Seeing this, Xu Lao also knew that if he didn't say it today, he was afraid that they would not leave.

After sorting out the wording, he fell into memory and said softly: "In your eyes, my Xu Mansion is a century-old scholarly family. But that's just a cover-up, Xu Fu is actually a martial arts family. Moreover, Xu Fu and Yejiazhuang also have some contacts in martial arts, and the older generation is even better. Yejiazhuang gave birth to two talented daughters fifty years ago, and the eldest daughter is known as the leader of the next generation of Yejiazhuang. The older generation of the two parties also has the meaning of becoming in-laws, that is, me and the eldest daughter. But the eldest daughter's heart was like a rock, like a god who has no desires and no desires. ”

Speaking of this, Old Xu's emotions suddenly became excited. It can be heard that Xu Lao also likes the woman named Ye Xi.

"And thirty years ago, a man came to Xu's house. threatened the lives of my entire family in Xufu, and asked me to keep Ye Xi that day and prevent her from returning to Yejiazhuang. But she still knew, and then she was very angry and asked me why I was doing this, if I had betrayed it. I want to explain, but what can I explain? The facts are in front of you. ”

Xu Lao smiled mockingly, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or the fact.

Later, she went back to Yejiazhuang, and I was restless that night, and I always felt that something would happen. waited until the next day, but what she was waiting for was the news that Yejiazhuang was washed in blood, and even she killed herself in front of the door. Later, I regretted it, but what was the use. So 30 years ago, I started business without hesitation, in order to cover up what happened at that time. ”

After saying this, Xu Lao seemed to be much more relaxed, but the sadness on his face also increased.

After listening to what Xu Lao said, he could also know why Ye Xi didn't have time to rush back at that time.

Yelan couldn't tell if it was right or wrong for Xu Lao to do this, but it was a pity for a woman like Ye Xi.

Yelan comforted a few words: "You're right, you're just thinking about the whole family of the Xu Mansion." People are selfish and only think about themselves, and that's right. ”

Seeing that Xu Lao was so sad, Yelan didn't ask any more. Changed the question, "Then do you know about the ghost in red?" ”

Xu Lao tried his mood again, and his expression was a little free, and he suddenly seemed to be much younger.

Hearing this, he frowned and said:

"We also know about this, because it was first spread from Yedu. But she only caught one and disappeared, so at the time we thought it was just a vendetta. But then she ran away to other places, and now the little girl's wedding date is approaching, what if she comes? ”

Yelan then remembered that Xu Ran's marriage was at the end of this month. If this is the case, Xu Ran is likely to be arrested.

After looking at each other with Wangchen, Yelan asked out loud: "Dare to ask Old Xu, how is Miss Xu's birthday?" ”

Xu Lao replied without hesitation: "The little girl was born on a lunar year, a lunar month, and a cloudy day. ”
