Chapter 172: Speaking

When Xiao Huan saw the ornament, his mind was blank.

He subconsciously bent down, picked up the ornament, and looked carefully at the light.

The oval-shaped ornament looks smooth, and against the light, you can see the pattern of the firing plum orchid bamboo on the ornament.

Xiao Huan's eyes suddenly became sour.

This is the white porcelain they burn at home.

It was drawn by his father's own hand.

In addition to Meilan bamboo, there are also happy eyebrows, swallows and apricots, and high knots...... They are all auspicious patterns.

When his father painted these patterns, he held him on his lap and told him who he was going to give this batch of white porcelain to one by one.

He had seen this batch of white porcelain out of the kiln with his own eyes.

I saw my mother hanging this white porcelain ornament on my father's waist.

His father looked at the envy in his eyes, and once hugged him affectionately, and promised him with a smile: "When you get married, I will give it to you." It's a family heirloom in our family. ”

When his father died, he personally gave him a small burial, and he had looked for this ornament everywhere but there was no trace, but at this time he found it in the box of Xiahou Yu's ornaments.

Xiao Huan looked up at Xiahou Yu a little blankly.

He saw worry, pity, struggle, and even sympathy in Xiahou Yu's eyes.

Sympathize?!

What did she sympathize with him?

In the midst of the lightning, he suddenly understood.

Xiahou Yu must have known the cause of his father's death.

That's why she worries about him and sympathizes with him.

Xiao Huan couldn't help but laugh.

There are no eternal secrets in this world

He should remain silent, as if he didn't know what was different about the ornament, quietly put it back where it was, say indifferently, "Your thing has dropped," and then know that the matter would be revealed.

That's the right thing to do.

But he felt that his heart was boiling, and something could not be controlled, and he couldn't help but say, "Where did you get this ornament?" ”

Xiahou Yu looked at Xiao Huan's face that turned pale in an instant, his heart softened, his voice was a little softer, and he said in a low voice: "I picked it up from a monk." ”

Xiao Huan was surprised.

Xiahou Yu told Xiao Huan what happened very tactfully.

Xiao Huan rubbed the ornament in his hand and was silent for a long time, then said hoarsely: "Are you curious about what happened at the beginning?" ”

Xiahou wanted to shake his head.

She has learned a truth since she was a child.

It's not that the more you know, the better.

Sometimes, knowing more things just means you're stuck deeper in the circle.

Didn't she already decide to stay away from Xiao Huan like in her previous life?

She shouldn't be curious.

But it was as if there were a thousand cats scratching in her heart, letting her emotions override her reason.

She heard herself answer "yes" in a deep voice.

Xiao Huan picked the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly.

Who would give up knowing those secrets of the Xiao family?

But he was not averse to saying this to Xiahou Yu.

Maybe it's because of Xiahou Yu's previous silence, maybe it's the pity that Xiahou Yu showed when he faced him, or maybe it's in his heart, Xiahou Yu, as his wife, she has the right to know what has happened in the family, so as to avoid distinguishing between friend and foe and save him more energy.

He said softly, "Xiao Chung coveted my mother, and he beat my mother more than once. Fortunately, with the help of the third aunt, Xiao Chung failed to succeed several times...... Later, my father couldn't stand it anymore and decided to kill Xiao Song......"

Xiao Song is Xiao Huan's third uncle, but Xiao Huan calls him by his name. It can be seen that he has hatred for Xiao Chung.

Xiahou Yu looked up at Xiao Huan in amazement.

Xiao Huan knew that it was easy for Xiahou Yu to see his thoughts, but the hatred that had been buried in his heart made him full of unbridled wanton whims, and he felt happy.

He decided to indulge himself for once.

Xiao Huan glanced at Xiahou Yu, not only did not restrain himself, but continued more bluntly: "The Xiao family is one of the best families in Wuzhong, Xiao Chung is missing, and the family naturally wants to investigate, especially the father, as the eldest son of the long house and the head of the family, he has a responsibility that cannot be shirked. ”

"Father was going to prevaricate."

But seeing that the children of the third aunt and Xiao Song were worried about his disappearance, they couldn't sleep day and night, and felt that since they did it themselves, they should take responsibility and be responsible for the consequences. can't let his children be the same as Xiao Chung's children, they don't even know their father's life and death, and they will always live in torment. ”

He told Xiao Xi and the elders of the family what happened.

"They were taken aback."

"If such a scandal spreads, don't say that Xiao's family is over, even my parents will be finished."

"The patriarch of the family decided to hide this matter and asked my father to give half of the family assets to the third aunt and others as compensation."

"My father agreed."

"But Xiao Xi didn't follow."

"He had to pay for my father's life."

"Not only that, but he also threatened his father, if his father didn't agree, he would tell my mother and Xiao Xing about it."

"In order not to affect the family, my father felt that he had made Xiao Fei and Xiao Mei lose their lives since childhood, and he was very sorry for them, so he decided to exchange his life for his life, and kill to stop killing......"

So Xiao Yan committed suicide.

No matter how much dissatisfaction Xiao Xi has with Xiao Yan, he can only put it in his heart, and he can only target Xiao Huan.

So Xiao Xing, who didn't know anything, thought that Xiao Xi was the second uncle in the past.

Xiahou Yu condensed, but the adult she had never seen before suddenly became tall in her mind.

In the eyes of outsiders, maybe he is not a successful person, unlike her maternal grandfather, unlike Lu Yuan, who can leave a name in the history and leave a portrait in the most conspicuous place in the family temple, but he has never shirked or avoided his family, his children, and himself.

Even Xiao Xi has no way to deal with the powerless Wu family and Xiao Xing.

It's no wonder that Xiao Huan's hatred has nowhere to go.

She couldn't help but take a few steps forward, gently grabbed Xiao Huan's arm, and said in a low voice: "My lord, seek benevolence, seek righteousness, and gain righteousness." It is not a kind of fulfillment. You should be happy for him. ”

Xiao Huan pinched the knuckles of his ornaments, and the joints were a little white.

He whispered, "I know. But I'm not reconciled, I'm not convinced. Why is the dead honored? Is it because people die like lights go out? What about those who survived? And who can understand them? I really don't want to care about these things of the Xiao family. ”

When he said this, he was a little depressed.

But it was only a few breaths, and he cheered up again and said, "Thank you for putting this ornament away." Can you give it to me? Before my father died, everything was arranged. But I didn't leave anything close to me. I've been looking for this piece for a long time...... I also asked Xiao Rong. He said that the situation was chaotic and he never found the ornament. ”

Xiahou Yu said: "Does Xiao Rong know how the lord died?" ”

"I don't know!" Xiao Huan said, "Except for Xiao Xi, it is a few clan elders in the family who know." And in the past two years, two old people have died of illness. Even fewer people know. ”

Xiahou Yu said: "Then how do you explain this sudden appearance?" ”

Xiao Huan smiled at her and said, "I don't have to explain to anyone. ”
