The second lady knew that there would be such a day, and she also knew that she would always have to face questions from Xiao Wenjun, but when this day came, she was completely at a disadvantage.

She and Second Master Xiao have already made plans, Xiao Wenjun must really ask about this matter, and they must hide it from the world, and they must not let her know the truth.

It turned out that the death of Xiao Wenjun's parents was not an accident, but a deliberate act by Xiao Erye! It's just that Second Master Xiao hides it very deeply and never tells the truth to outsiders.

That year, it was winter, and it was supposed to be a quiet and peaceful day. On the order of the old lady, Xiao Erye specially went to the border to visit Xiao Daoyuan and his wife.

Not long after Xiao Erye set off, many small forces came one after another. In the face of a sudden war, the soldiers were very nervous for a while. Xiao Daoyuan couldn't pull away, and kept running back and forth on the front line, and he didn't have much time to receive the second master and others.

Before, the eldest prince sent an olive branch to Xiao Daoyuan, intending to win over the Xiao family, but Xiao Daoyuan has always adhered to the ancestral teachings of the Xiao family, is only loyal to the emperor alone, and will never form a gang, and has repeatedly rejected the proposal of the eldest prince.

However, this refusal again and again made the narrow-minded prince more and more angry, which led to the disaster of killing! Second Master Xiao has already worshiped under the door of the eldest prince, and this time he came, seemingly following the mission of the old lady, but in fact, he took the initiative to ask for his life, to be a lobbyist for the eldest prince, and to give an ultimatum to the eldest brother.

As expected, Xiao Dao was far from not only agreeing, but also not thinking of brotherhood at all. Even at the small family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, he spat out the truth after drinking, and bitterly scolded the second master and his wife for not respecting the ancestral precepts and not worthy of being the descendants of the Xiao family!

Second Master Xiao and Xiao Daoyuan were both born to Old Taijun Xiao, but all the glory and status are inherited only by Xiao Daoyuan, and Second Master Xiao is just doting on his elders. But how many hardships and hardships Xiao Daoyuan had, Second Master Xiao never cared, he just felt that these should have belonged to him. So join the eldest prince and bet the rest of your life here.

Now that the skin has been torn, it will no longer be hidden. He had everything planned and quietly left. Soon after the second master left the barracks, infighting broke out on the front line. When Xiao Daoyuan and his wife heard this, they hurriedly drove their horses there, but disappeared into the vast Gobi snowfield.

Afterwards, the adjutant general sent people to look for them in many ways, but there were no dead people or corpses, only halfway through, there were obvious traces of fighting, this place was not far from the front line, and it was guessed that it must have been ambushed by foreign thieves.

"Second aunt, since I was a child, I only heard that my parents disappeared at the border pass, and their bones did not survive." Xiao Wenjun interrupted the memories of the second lady, and the memories of her previous life failed to let her know the truth about her parents' deaths.

After being reborn, I thought that after Tongyu Wenyao divorced, Xiao Wenjun would relax a lot, but the ensuing events proved that the test for her was far from over, and at this moment, finding the truth about the death of her parents has been haunting her mind.

"That's true, that year, your second uncle and I went to the front line to celebrate the New Year together according to Mrs. Xiao's wishes, but just after fifteen, my second uncle and I were in Lanling and heard the bad news of my eldest brother and sister-in-law."

"What you're saying makes my ears calloused, you should know what I want to know!" Xiao Wenjun frowned slightly and asked.

"It's a bit strange, but it's all a coincidence." The stone in the second lady's heart finally fell to the ground, it seems that this Xiao Wenjun is not supernatural, and he should not know the truth, otherwise he would not have spoken so politely.

"At that time, I received a decree and granted the eldest brother and sister-in-law a leave to visit home, but the two have always been conscientious, and the thieves continue to harass them, so they are unwilling to return to Lanling with us."

"Second aunt, you go on!" Since she has spoken, let her continue to speak, as the saying goes, if you say too much, you will lose, Xiao Wenjun can always find some flaws in her.

"My second brother and I tried to persuade him many times, but your father scolded him in the Chinese New Year's Eve night, saying that we don't understand the ever-changing situation on the battlefield......"

Although the second lady's words were logically consistent, He Hong taught Xiao Wenjun some ways to observe subtle expressions, and Xiao Wenjun knew at a glance that the second lady did not tell the truth, or only told half of the truth.

The description of the second aunt is indeed what the father will do. It's just that the four had an argument on Chinese New Year's Eve, but it was the first time Xiao Wenjun had heard of it.

"At that time, I really should have persuaded my eldest brother and sister-in-law more, so that I wouldn't end up being intercepted and killed by foreign thieves and having no bones!" The second lady carefully considered her words, but her expression inadvertently showed a little nervousness, so that the second uncle and aunt were not at fault, but also dissuaded their parents.

"I'll definitely investigate this matter!" Xiao Wenjun's face sank, when the second aunt reached the moment of stake, she was still hesitant, obviously knowing something, but she didn't dare.

It can be seen that this matter must not be simple! And I have a deep relationship with them, so I don't dare to tell the truth. After thinking about all this, Xiao Wenjun's heart suddenly brightened, and he muttered: "If the second aunt has nothing else to do, she can go!" ”

Seeing Xiao Wenjun's appearance, the second lady thought that she had persuaded Xiao Wenjun, but she was still cautious and tentative: "Wenjun, the second aunt will tell you the truth she knows, you are now the nominal head of the Xiao family, and the clansmen are in trouble, you won't die without help, right?" ”

"That's nature! However, the second aunt came this time, but for the sake of the eldest prince's rebellion, she was afraid of being implicated? Xiao Wenjun is most annoyed by this kind of moral kidnapping on weekdays, so he wants to return his body in the way of others.

"Wenjun, that's true!" The second lady knew Xiao Wenjun's straightforward temper, and when she saw that the words had been broken, she no longer covered it up and accepted it.

"But I do know that there is no third uncle in the list of officials implicated!" In the previous life, the second uncle hid very deeply, and in the end, he also retreated.

"Just, I'm afraid that some people have long mouths and tongues and bite people indiscriminately......"

"What does the second aunt want me to do?"

"Listen, I heard that the person in charge of raiding the house and trying the case this time is Wang Jiuyuan, the son of Wang Ge Lao, the good story of the two of you has already spread all over the capital, if he mediates it, the second uncle and the second aunt will be grateful!"

"It's worthy of being a second aunt, the news is really well-informed!" When Xiao Wenjun heard this, he deliberately put on a shy look.

"If the two of you achieve positive results, the second uncle and the second aunt will prepare a generous gift for you as elders!" Seeing this, the second lady also relaxed a lot.

"Then Wen Jun thanked the second aunt first!" Xiao Wenjun's face turned red, like an iceberg melting.

"Wenjun, if there is nothing else, the second aunt will leave first, waiting for your good news!" When the second lady saw that her goal had been achieved, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the sense of oppression she had communicated with Xiao Wenjun was the same as that of Mrs. Xiao.

"Second aunt! You say, will my parents' affairs have something to do with the eldest prince? Seeing the second lady, Xiao Wenjun completely relaxed his vigilance and suddenly asked.

This question was like a thunderbolt, which shook the second lady's heart, she looked at the confident smile raised at the corner of Xiao Wenjun's mouth, and was stunned for a long time before she spoke: "No, no, no!" ”
