Lin Xiaoyu listened to my words, but eased up a little, "It's not like I haven't thought about what you said. Before my grandmother left home, she told my grandfather all the secrets about the Meng family, and the reason why she was so determined to look for the Faqiu seal was all because of ......"

"Because she doesn't want to see Faqiu Tianguan destroyed in her own hands." Lin Xiaoyu choked up.

"How do you say that?" I asked.

"Do you know why my grandmother married into the Lin family?" Lin Xiaoyu asked.

I shook my head. She replied with some self-deprecation: "Because the Meng family has no male by the time of my grandmother's generation, she is the last bloodline of the Meng family, and to some extent, Faqiu Tianguan has been lost in her hands." But she has a strong nature, and she is unwilling to die forever, so she is determined to take a risk, knowing that she only has a key and that there is little hope, but she still goes to risk it herself, and finally dies with hatred. ”

I sighed: "I didn't expect that behind the story back then, the truth turned out to be like this......"

"There's a saying, I don't know whether to ask or not." I said.

"Just ask." Lin Xiaoyu smiled, "Since you want to ask, why hold back." ”

"Then I'll ask, you said you didn't know what treasure was hidden in "The Heavenly King's Sending the Son", so your grandmother didn't tell your grandfather back then? Or did she not even know about it herself? ”

Lin Xiaoyu shook his head, "My grandmother told my grandfather the secret of the Meng family, and my grandfather told my father again, but since my grandmother had an accident, this picture has disappeared." According to my dad, my grandmother didn't know what kind of treasure was hidden in the picture. ”

I nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that the second half of the silk book that was cut down should be the secret of the Heavenly King's Sending Zitu, and it is very likely that the Qianmian Taoist priest carefully designed this scam for the sake of treasure." ”

"Silk book? What silk book? What are you talking about? Lin Xiaoyu asked.

"Oh, nothing, I, I'm just muttering." I came back to my senses and hurriedly explained: "I think so, I estimate that the treasure hidden in this Heavenly King's Son Diagram is intended to be kept by Meng Xing for himself to enjoy after being reborn, so he didn't plan to reveal it to his sons at all, even if he didn't come back to life, this secret would go underground with him, so that he would be the richest man in the underworld." ”

Lin Xiaoyu "poofed" and smiled, "You are really funny, but what you said is not impossible, otherwise how to explain it Even my grandmother does not know the secret in the picture, and for thousands of years, the Heavenly King Sending the Child Diagram has been in the hands of the Meng family, and the other six families have broken their blood flow in order to compete for the head of the Canglong Seven Residences Key Fight, but they did not covet this picture, which fully shows that they do not know the secret in the picture." ”

I nodded, "That makes sense, and it seems that the truth is probably like that." ”

"Come on, you just said that we are not qualified to evaluate history, and you don't know what the truth was back then, how can you be sure?"

I smiled and said, "I really can't be sure, but I boldly assume that if I were Meng Xing and make such an arrangement, I would definitely have to consider uncertainty in addition to the glory and wealth after my rebirth in the future." And based on this uncertainty, my arrangement must take into account the long-term unity of the family. Since ancient times, whether it is a prince, a general or a common person, it is the primogeniture inheritance system, so the successor must be Meng Changfeng. And handing over to him the picture of the Heavenly King who I value the most, may be some kind of token, and it is not even ruled out that he actually left a testament back then, but it is a pity that none of these have prevented the ambition of the other six sons to usurp power. ”

"In addition, there is another point that can confirm my hypothesis from the side."

"Which point?" Lin Xiaoyu asked.

"In the era of the world, there was another system that was matched with the primogeniture inheritance system, that is, the sub-feudal system. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty later implemented the Tui'en Decree, the tradition of reusing vassal kings within the family has never changed. The reason why Meng Xing did not pass on the key to the Canglong Seven Houses to Meng Changfeng, but passed it on to his six sons, I think his original intention was to hope that these sons could assist Meng Changfeng well in the future. I'm afraid they all know this, but they just pretend to be confused for their own selfish desires. ”

Lin Xiaoyu said: "Look at what you said seriously, I thought you were really Meng Xing." But even if what you say is right, what can you do? ”

"yes, what can it be? If the seven sons of the Meng family knew that they had been fighting for the Canglong Seven Houses for more than a thousand years, and in the end they were collected by an outsider, would they be so angry that they jumped out of the coffin? ”

Lin Xiaoyu glanced at me, "Hey, can you not make jokes about your ancestors, no matter what, they are also my ancestors." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't say it right, I apologize to you."

"Forget it, it's all over, what's more, what you said is also the truth."

"So, isn't it time to tell the story of you and Yan Yunshu?"

Lin Xiaoyu was stunned and asked, "What story do I think there can be between me and her?" ”

"It's hard to say, anyway, I think there should be something else to do besides being her prospective niece and daughter-in-law?" I'm half-joking.

Lin Xiaoyu smiled slightly, "You don't have to beat around the bush, don't you just want to say, I deceived you?" ”

I shook my head, "That's really not, I admit it, the you I saw today are very different from the Lin Xiaoyu I knew before, but I don't think you're cheating." Everyone has two faces, one is their true self and the other is a mask to protect themselves. Everyone is an adult and can understand it. What's more, the fact that you can come to me today already shows your sincerity. ”

Lin Xiaoyu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Thank you for being so understanding, seeing you so open-minded, I suddenly don't feel guilty." ”

"That's not possible, since you're here, if you don't make it clear, I won't let you go so easily."

Lin Xiaoyu put away his smiling face and said, "Okay, I have to admit that I did lie to you." In fact, what you saw before me is not my real appearance, the simple, innocent, unfamiliar Lin Xiaoyu, who is not familiar with the world, is disguised by me. I, actually, should be pretty black-bellied. ”

I smiled, "Okay, I have to admit that your acting skills are really good, and you deceived me quite badly." But—" I paused, "Yan Yunshu is probably deceived by you quite badly." ”

Lin Xiaoyu smiled, and she could see that she was relieved, "I'm not trying to lie to you, my purpose is just to confuse her." ”

"That's what I'm thinking about now." I nodded, "I have always wondered why Yan Yunshu was worried about the "Heavenly King Sending His Son", and even took you to the medicine corpse tomb, but now it seems that all this should be related to Meng Xing." ”

Lin Xiaoyu said: "Actually, after my grandmother married into the Lin family, the relationship between our family and the Yan family has always been good, and it can even be said that it is close friends. My dad and Yan Yunshu also have a good personal friendship. But since my grandmother died, the Yan family has been secretly inquiring about the news of "The Heavenly King Sending the Son", although they have always claimed to love this cultural relic, but I always suspect that they have ulterior motives, and even the huge debt is also carefully designed by them, the purpose is to make us hand over the "Heavenly King Sending the Son". ”

"And then, the last time you said you ran away from marriage, what was going on?"

"Running away from marriage is actually my disguise. Yan Yunshu is extremely suspicious, in order to let Yan Yunshu completely believe in my innocent character, I can only make this decision. Lin Xiaoyu explained, "A woman who has the courage to run away from marriage and blatantly goes around begging for Wu Daozi's "Heavenly King Sending His Son", whoever she is, will not believe that she is a very scheming person." ”

I smiled and said, "Indeed, I was deceived by you, and I thought that you were really a harmless daughter, but I never thought that Miss Daughter was real, and it was my wishful thinking that humans and animals were harmless." ”

"At that time, the Yan family forced my father to repay his debts, and my father had no choice but to fulfill the terms of the contract and repay the debts through the marriage of the two families, and he had no choice but to agree to the marriage. But I understand that Yan Yunshu's move is still for the sake of "The King of Heaven Sending His Son", and I want to see if this picture is in my hands. So I will make a plan, regardless of the face of the two families, I ran away from the marriage without permission, and begged everywhere to buy "The King of Heaven Sends a Son", trying to use the painting to pay off the debt. In the end, this reckless behavior made Yan Yunshu believe that I was a girl who didn't understand anything, and she really no longer had the luxury of getting "The Heavenly King Sending His Son" from me. ”

"Then how do you conclude that Yan Yunshu will definitely have the next move?"

"Because the fish bites." Lin Xiaoyu said with a smile, "When Mu Yunhe found me, I concluded that Yan Yunshu would definitely have the next plan, and Lao Mu asked me to come to you, so I naturally knew that you should have played a vital role in her plan." ”

I laughed at myself, "Hehe, thank you for looking up to me so much and treating me as a key person, but in fact, I am a tool man in the dark, and I am used by each of you." ”

"Some people are open-minded, but they still seem to be haunted in their hearts." Lin Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Don't, I'm not an open-minded person, my heart is full of holes, and I almost didn't die of pain."

"Less poverty!" Lin Xiaoyu pushed me with a smile, "I don't know you yet, you can pretend!" Obviously, I only have the ability to half a bucket of water, but I want to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, what is looking for the dragon Taibao, it is in vain at all, if I didn't have my wisdom in a hurry, you would have died eight hundred times. ”

"Hahaha."

After saying that, we both laughed in unison. In making jokes about each other, the original estrangement was gradually eliminated.

"No kidding, seriously, what did you find out?" I asked.

"Don't you know what happened after that? What else do you need me to say? Lin Xiaoyu sold a pass.

I was in a hurry, "Don't, it's all here, what else can't I be honest with, if I know everything, do I need to ask you?" ”
