Chapter 156: Ruthless

Approaching the end of the year, the weather is getting worse and worse, and the rain continues.

The sky was gray, deep and shallow, and the rain fell on the green bricks and became frosty. The weather was bitterly cold. Although the Xie Mansion was full of lights and made full preparations for the Spring Festival, the atmosphere in the mansion was extremely depressing, almost suffocating.

Xie Yan received a letter from Jiankang's cousin Xie Xuan, telling him that his father was sick and wanted him to return to Beijing for the Chinese New Year. It's just a matter of Shouyang's side, how can he let go.

When he was in trouble, the next person came to give him, and Xie Shi wanted to see him.

Xie Yan didn't have time to think about it, took the letter into his arms, put on a big coat and went to the study.

On a rainy day, the study was dark. Xie Yan stepped in but didn't see Xie Shi, his eyes searched slightly, but he saw him sitting behind a pear wood round table with his back against the bookshelf, his figure half-blocked by the orchid leaf celadon vase on the table.

Xie Yan stepped forward: "Sixth Uncle ......"

Xie Shi raised his head suddenly, and there was a sharp scrutiny in his dark eyes, which made Xie Yan's heart jump.

Sure enough, Xie Shi didn't give him time to think deeply, and quickly threw out a sentence: "You already know about her?" ”

This she ...... Needless to say, Xie Yan also understood.

He didn't make a sound, but his eyelids drooped, but this subtle movement did not escape Xie Shi's sharp eyes.

The anger that had been pent up in his heart quickly burned at this moment. Xie Shi's face was gloomy, he picked up a pile of letters on the table and smashed it on him, "Okay! Very good! You've been so scheming for the sake of a woman from the Paradise! You're really my good nephew! ”

Xie Yan's back was straight and stiff. Although the light in the room was insufficient, the handwriting on the letters scattered on the floor still crashed into his eyes.

In black and white, it is recorded in detail how he secretly helped Tianjin and Liu Yu "fornicate", one by one...... Indeed, it was all something he had done, and he had nowhere to argue.

When the letter fell, it scratched the back of his hand. The pain of the bloody stabbing was painful, but Xie Yan felt a sense of relief on his body. Pressed for a long time in his heart dull like a boulder, tightly blocking him, he cherished unknown secrets, painful and desperate, no one to confide in, and never dared to relax.

Xie Shi's anger made him feel guilty, but it also became his relief.

The corners of his thin, slightly dry mouth moved slightly, and his heart was full of concentrated feelings.

Xie Shi kept staring at him all the time, taking all his expressions into his eyes, and the clouds on his face were thick, "When did you become so interested in a woman from the music room?" ”

In fact, what Xie Shi wanted to ask was that he knew that Tianjin had married someone else, why did he not expose it, but covered it up for them everywhere?

But when the words came to his mouth, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't ask anything.

From beginning to end, he was deceived and betrayed like a fool! In addition to anger, only embarrassment remains. He has killed countless enemies and lived most of his life, but he was planted in the hands of a few juniors!

"I ......" Xie Yan was about to answer, but he was stunned in his heart.

He suddenly realized a problem, the sixth uncle kept claiming that Tianjin was a woman from Lefang, could it be that he hadn't found out Tianjin's true identity yet?

And what about him...... Do you want to continue to help her hide it?

Xie Yan blinked a little dazedly, looking at his uncle with gray temples, he was so disappointed in himself, he felt deeply embarrassed again.

But just when he was swaying and in a dilemma, Xie Shi, who knew his niece well, suddenly stood up.

"That's not right! Do you have something to hide from me? Xie Shi narrowed his eyes, with alarm in his eyes, "According to the time...... During that time, because of the death of the princess of the Northern Dynasty, you were depressed, ignored political affairs, and even lived drunk. Why is it that suddenly a woman in a music shop is so interested that she buys poppies all over the city for her? ”

Every time he said a word, Xie Yan's heart sank.

After all, I still can't hide it.

The sixth uncle has always been cautious, and he made up his mind to investigate a matter, and he will inevitably find out everything in detail. The things he did in Guangling were not secrets, they were ...... Xie Yan closed his eyes and subconsciously made a final struggle.

He heard himself speak slowly, "She looks like the princess of the northern kingdom......"

Xie Shi snorted, "Is it really just a god-like look?" ”

Xie Yan's slightly drooping eyelashes trembled slightly.

Hearing the sound of "popping", Xie Shi raised his hand and slapped his palm on the table, "I still don't know how to repent of it!" In my opinion, she doesn't look like the princess of the North, she is the princess of the North! ”

Xie Yan: "......"

Telling the truth in person, Xie Shi quickly gasped.

So...... Everything can be explained. Xie Shi once thought that although his nephew was a little emotional, he still knew the righteousness. That's why he was so depressed during those days, and he, as an elder, was very tolerant of him.

So when he saw Xie Yan cheering up and regaining his strength, although Xie Shi didn't say anything, he was very relieved in his heart. But in fact, he didn't know that this was the case until today.

Xie Shi's face couldn't be heavier anymore, and his voice suddenly became a lot colder, "Do you still have anything to say?" ’

Xie Yan: "I...... There is nothing to say, I am willing to take this matter with all my might. ”

He admitted it so simply, and Xie Shi was disappointed. The aggrieved anger in his heart faded little by little in Xie Yan's lost soul, but the whole person sat back weakly.

Scold...... Is this the truth of what he wants?

If he could, what he really wanted to hear from his nephew was denial. How ridiculous all this is, and the truth is so hard to accept.

Xie Yan looked at Xie Shi with a depressed expression with complicated eyes, since the poisoning, Xie Shi's body has become worse and worse, as if he has aged ten years overnight, and his eyes are full of ashes.

Xie Yan has admired this uncle very much since he was a child, and followed him to sharpen in the army. I spent more time with him than I did with my biological father. In his heart, Xie Shi is an elder, a respected teacher, and a relative.

He really couldn't do it anymore.

But in the same way, Tianjin also has an irreplaceable position in his heart. Once, he deliberately approached her for the sake of the family, and chose to give up her for the sake of the family...... As a result, he watched as she was cut down into the river and swallowed up by the boiling water.

After the loss, he realized how painful and desperate it was, and he didn't want to bear that pain a second time.

Therefore, when he saw her again, he knew that he was unforgettable for her, but he forcibly suppressed his feelings. It was obviously very painful, but he could only force himself to be a bystander, watching her throw herself into the arms of others.

If...... All he brought to her was hurt, and he was willing to let it go.

"You get out."

After a long time, Xie Shi spoke again, his voice hoarse and weak.

Xie Yan stood for a long time, and his legs were a little numb. Hearing his exorcism, I struggled out of my memories.

He looked at Xie Shi seriously, "She has lost her memory, and she has even forgotten her identity. ”

"So what?" Xie Shi's originally gloomy eyes once again burst out with a sharp light.

But Xie Yan was still under great pressure, and slowly said the request, "Sixth Uncle...... Let them go. ”

His request made Xie Shi's chest extremely heavy, and a fishy sweet smell came up.

"Poof......

"Uncle Six!"

Xie Yan was taken aback, but saw Xie Shi spurting out a mouthful of old blood in annoyance and slumping straight on the chair.
