Ling Ai sighed softly and said, "The tragedy in Mr. Xu's family is indeed not unrelated to my mother. But her original intention was actually just to separate her predecessors and Mr. Xu, and she didn't expect the final result to be so tragic. My mother knew that she had caused a catastrophe, so she took advantage of my father's relationship to spend a lot of energy to eradicate the people who took the opportunity to persecute Mr. Xu step by step, which can be regarded as avenging the Xu family. ”

She was silent for a while, and then said, "Even so, my mother still has no intention of letting Mr. Xu go. In this matter, she is really a bit vicious...... From love comes fear, and she can't convince herself to save Mr. Xu. Her always confident face also showed a little powerless look at the moment, "Even though I can understand her feelings, I also think it is really hateful, and I have come to make this confession to my husband, although it is my own intention, but I also hope to be able to free my mother from the past." ”

She made a pale face and said slowly, "Just think of me as a junior meddling." ”

Yu Mochen always thought that with Ling Ai's excellence, he should be a very favored child at home. But now it seems that Ling Ai's life may also have a lot of unimaginable suffering.

Her father had a calamus with the outer chamber, and her mother was always in love with an impossible person. In the end, those who stood up to solve the problem for them were all Ling Ai. This girl, who is not a few years older than Yu Moji, has already taken on too many responsibilities that she should not have?

Ling Ai takes these responsibilities quite seriously, and always wants to take care of everyone involved.

After she finished explaining to Lao Meng, she turned her head to look at Jin Niang again, and said, "Jin Niang, don't blame yourself." My mother said that you just talked to Mr. Lu about your predecessors and Mr. Xu, and you intended to cover them up, but unfortunately asked my mother to listen. When she thought of the past, she was furious and decided to expose it, despite my father's obstruction. This matter was taken advantage of by people with bad intentions, and the words were twisted, and only then did the later things happen. ”

When Yu Mochen heard about these old things, he was very upset with Lao Meng and Master Xu, and blurted out, "Even though Mr. Old Man and Master Xu are both men...... But since the two hearts are happy, it is not something to blame, why did it lead to the disaster of annihilation? ”

Lao Meng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You are still young and have not experienced that era. From the royal family down, everyone is emphasizing self-denial and revenge, but anything that violates the etiquette law is possible from demotion to demotion or demotion to distant places, or even imprisonment and beheading. As he spoke, he sighed, "This is also to blame for my youthful and arrogant youth, always thinking that I am omnipotent, and I am not bound by my parents, and what can I do with a ban." forgot that Xu Da had a family. ”

Ling Ai seemed to be lamenting this as well. She thought for a moment, and then suddenly said, "I listen to it, Mr. Xu doesn't seem to know the real cause of this disaster in his family?" ”

"If he knew, how could he afford it?" Lao Meng said, "Before the case, I had already asked your father to send Xu Da out of the imperial capital. As he spoke, his face showed a little pain, "At that time, Xu Da was already seriously injured and unconscious, but he still survived with Mrs. Ling's medicine. So I always can't blame Mrs. Ling. ”

Jin Niang was silent for a while, and finally said, "Now that everything has been explained, there is no need to deepen the misunderstanding between each other." Meng Qiu, you can put the ink mark back. I will definitely ask Lu Chen to press this matter. ”

"Wait." Lao Meng still didn't mean to let go of Yu Moji, "You have said so much, and I understand the meaning." It's just that since Lu Chen has a clear conscience, why did he never come to see me by himself? ”

"Naturally, he can't say that he has a clear conscience." Jin Niang replied helplessly, "He always thought that his wife was interested in you, so he didn't intervene when something happened." ”

Ling Ai sighed, "Mr. Lu and Jin Niang, aren't the two of them a couple? ”

Jin Niang smiled bitterly, "This incident has made him ashamed to this day, and whenever he talks about it, he always feels ashamed of Meng Qiu, so he never refuses to meet." ”

Ling Ai continued, "But Mr. Lu was just a small Yanshi at that time. Even my father is powerless to stop something, and Mr. Lu is involved in it, how can he change the situation? The only thing he can do is to take it under his command and teach him carefully, hoping that he will accomplish what your old man did not have the opportunity to continue to do. ”

Yu Moji's heart moved. Could it be that this old Meng is Yuan Pingzhi's father? She remembered what Ling Ai had said before, and couldn't help blurting out, "Could it be that your surname is Yuan, old man?" ”

"Yes," Lao Meng glanced at her and replied, "When I was in the imperial capital in the past, my name was Yuan Mengqiu. Later, in order to protect Xu Da, his name was hidden. If I appear as a servant, who cares what my name is? He said this, but his face was extremely sad, "I just didn't expect that such a thing as a name outside the body would be so persistent, and it is said that it made Lao Ling spend a lot of effort." ”

"He is a good boy," Jin Niang sighed, "although he is also involved and has suffered a lot, he still remembers your kindness after all." ”

Yu Moji's heart was shocked.

Yuan Zhizhi always has a calm and breezy image on weekdays, and when he doesn't speak, he looks like an idle rich man who has never suffered. Before Ling Ai mentioned the changes in Yuan Ping's house, Yu Moji was already quite surprised. But he didn't expect that a person like him who was so clear and moonlit experienced many years ago turned out to be such an indescribable childhood.

Nothing to say for a while. It was Ling Ai, a girl who had always had a lot of ideas, who was the first to break the silence, "I have finished saying what I want to say, if the seniors still feel that Jin Niang and I are partial to Mr. Lu and are unwilling to let go of the ink marks, then you might as well choose one of us to send a letter back to Mr. Lu, and ask him to come over in person to make amends to your old man—although I think that Mr. Lu really has no guilt in this matter." ”

She sighed as she spoke, and said, "From the perspective of my seniors, the most suitable person to go back at this moment may be me." But unfortunately, my arquebus ammunition is limited, and the margin is only enough for me to protect myself, and I am afraid that the set of shooting methods used before will not be able to be used anymore. I don't want to risk my life to deliver a letter. ”

As soon as Yu Moji heard this, he felt that this was wrong.

Didn't Ling Ai keep saying that she wanted to take her back? Why do you say that you can't protect yourself at this moment?

"I heard gunshots as you came all the way, I see." When Lao Meng heard this, he suddenly asked, "But how did you do it to make the sound of hidden weapons hitting each other everywhere in the cave at the same time?" ”

"It's very simple," Ling Ai said with a smile, "I didn't want to reveal my whereabouts at that time, so I deliberately set up traps wherever I passed. For example, I've already merged with the ink, and firing the gun will inevitably reveal our position, but at this time, another mechanism is activated, and it makes a sound at the same time, which is barely a trick. ”

"That's weird." Lao Meng said, "You originally came to me, and you should know that with my friendship with your father, I will never hurt you, why do you have so many concerns and refuse to reveal your whereabouts all the way?" ”

"The mechanism designed by my predecessors is really powerful, and I have been tortured a lot at home. If the seniors didn't come forward to confirm that it was me, but just yelled to kill Mr. Lu, what could I do? Ling Ai just laughed, "Besides, I broke a lot of the mechanisms laid by my predecessors along the way, and I'm really afraid of upsetting my seniors." ”

Before she could finish speaking, a person suddenly turned out of the cave.

It turned out to be the basis of the yuan.

Yu Moji was startled. With Ling Ai's ability, he needs to shoot all the way and assault violently to break through this Longtan tiger's den, Yuan Yizhi actually walked over so silently?

She was originally looking forward to seeing Yuan Pingzhi, but at this moment, because she suddenly knew too many old things, she suddenly didn't know what expression to look at this person.

Yuan Zhizhi didn't seem to notice her at all, and only looked at Ling Ai.

"Miss Ling doesn't need to explain any more," he said solemnly, "You knew that I would come to the rescue, and you deliberately used the mechanism to cover up, but in fact, you just wanted to slow me down and find here." ”

"There's really no way, I can't hide it from you after all." Ling Ai smiled bitterly, "I also guess you should arrive." ”

Maybe it's because they grew up together, the tacit understanding between these two people, Yu Moji can't envy it.

Yuan Pingzhi shook his head and said, "You also mean well." You always don't want people to be put in a dilemma, and it's really hard for you that everyone stands up for others. ”

Ling Ai was silent for a while, and finally said, "After all, this matter is my mother's fault, and I always want to make up for her." It's just that it's always not enough. She sighed, "That's it." Now that you have come, I will not be involved in it any more. ”

"Thank you again." Yuan Pingzhi smiled at her soothingly, then walked towards Lao Meng, saluted, and called, "Father." ”

"I haven't seen you in over a year." Lao Meng Wen said, "How are you doing lately? ”

"With the normal couple taking care of me, I have always had a good life." When Yuan Pingzhi talked to his father, there was a little detachment in his smile, "I didn't know about Master Xu's affairs before...... I'm really sorry. ”

"You have nothing to be sorry about. After all, it's the two of us who are ashamed of you. Lao Meng's face flashed a little apologetic, and said, "I originally promised to take care of you to the eldest child, but because of my incident with Xu Da, not only did I not let you live a stable life for a few years, but you suffered a lot since you were a child." ”

Yuan Pingzhi shook his head, "I was displaced when I was young, and my father's willingness to take me in back then was already a great kindness." I shouldn't have asked my father for anything else......" he said, raised his eyes, and said very firmly, "It's just that in the matter of Master Xu, there are too many people involved, and everyone has their own hardships. I also asked my father to stop it. ”

"Now even you have come to persuade me," Lao Meng just smiled bitterly, "Only Lu Chen always refuses to show up." ”

"There are some things, such as why there are so many mechanisms in this cave, such as who is the designer of this mirage," Yuan said, "With the current position of the teacher, I still don't know." ”

Lao Meng sighed deeply and said, "You all have such and such reasons, and you all want to take care of the overall situation. His face was extremely sad, "But I just want to get justice for Xu Da." ”
