Xie Yi's expression was solemn and his tone was unprecedentedly strict.

He knew that Du Xijun had always had a secret in his heart, but he had never asked, and hoped that she would tell it herself.

But after a long time, Du Xijun never spoke, as if he had many concerns. It was fine in the past, but today this big event cannot be delayed.

It was impossible for Du Xijun to hesitate any more, so Xie Yi took the method of asking questions directly.

Sure enough, Du Xijun knew the situation was serious, but she felt a little scared because Xie Yi had never been so strict with her.

Could it be... In an instant, she suddenly felt a little unfair worry in her heart.

"Xijun, if you think the hidden information will implicate me, then you are wrong. It's already here, and it's no longer a matter of implication or not, but must be faced directly."

"Sanlang, I..."

Seeing Du Xijun's pitiful expression, Xie Yi was still a little reluctant. His tight face relaxed slightly and said softly: "Xijun, don't be afraid. No matter what you say, I will accept it calmly and find a way to solve it.

I said to be eternal, you know that my character will never break my promise, and will never alienate you because of this, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

"Sanlang, I'm sorry, I've kept it from you for a long time." Du Xijun wanted to speak several times, and finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "My father's name is the best and the power is above and below."

"Du Fuwei?"

"Yes." Du Xijun lowered his head and said, "In the sixth year of Wude, his father surrendered to Tang and entered Chang'an to worship. He did not want to assist Gong to rebel against Tang. After Li Xiaogong led his troops to quell the rebellion, he somehow framed his father.

So much so that my father died violently in Chang'an, my mother was just a concubine, she was always low-key, and few people paid attention to it. She took advantage of the chaos and fled the chaos army and fled to the Jianghuai River."

Speaking of the tragic past, Du Xijun's eyes were red, tears rolled down, and she choked and said, "We escaped the pursuit of officers and soldiers, but we live in poverty. Later, my mother died of illness. Thanks to Mrs. Xie... Ah Mother buried her on her behalf and took me back to Xie's house..."

Xie Yi knew that Du Fuwei was a hero who dominated the Jianghuai River at the end of the Sui Dynasty. He was in power and was very powerful. As his daughter, Du Xijun should have been with a golden branch and a jade leaf, but ended up in a sudden disaster and was displaced. He eventually became a maid and a child bride.

Such an experience is a huge gap and has a bumpy and difficult experience!

But now that time has passed and everything has improved, it is nothing. Just being Du Fuwei's daughter would be a disaster?

Xie Yi vaguely remembered that he had seen some information in his previous life. In the early years of Zhenguan, Li Shimin discovered Du Fuwei's injustice, rehabilitated him and buried him with the courtesy of the Duke of the State.

Then, even if his daughter is not treated well, she will not be convicted. Why should Du Xijun and his daughter hide? Could it be that their news is blocked?

But when Xie Yi mentioned it, Du Xijun widened her eyes and claimed that there was no such thing as this. She was very concerned about her father's every move and was completely missed.

For this reason, Xie Yi deliberately inquired about it indirectly and finally verified that what Du Xijun said was true. At this time, there was no such thing as Du Fuwei rehabilitation.

Now it’s Xie Yi’s turn to be confused. Is it because he remembered it wrongly or is there a deviation between reality and historical records?

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to do this."

"Yeah!" Du Xijun said softly: "I have always been worried that my life experience will implicate you..."

Xie Yi asked, "Then why did you...you know, since you entered my house, the Xie family has no problem with this."

Du Xijun knew what he was referring to and said shyly, "When you were in Huaiyang, you were not involved in official careers. You would not be noticed by the small private households, and you would not be able to come here. I was blessed by the Xie family and I should do my duty...

"Since that's the case, why did you advise me to get involved in the officialdom?" Xie Yi was quite puzzled by this.

Du Xijun lowered his head and said, "Of course, I want to look like Sanlang... I live with him and live a simple life, but my grandfather (Xie Father)'s last wish at the end of his life, hoping that you will become an official. How can I ignore his last wish for my own selfishness?

Besides, after you fall into the water, you are very different from before. You become smart and capable. I believe you are not willing to bury your talents, so..."

"So that's it. Later, when you came to Luoyang, you kept people thousands of miles away..."

"I originally thought you would have to be appreciated by the governor. It was already good to be an official in Chenzhou. But I didn't think that you were outstanding, so I went straight to the heavens." Du Xijun sighed softly: "I was very scared after going to Luoyang. First, I was worried that my life experience would affect you; second, I was afraid..."

"I'm afraid that after I know the inside story, I think you are a burden and a scourge. I abandon you and even report it to the court, right?" Xie Yi said unhappily: "You won't make me so unbearable, right?"

"No...Sanlang, I'm just afraid, afraid of losing you, and afraid of ruining your future and endangering your safety." Du Xijun leaned forward and sobbed in a low voice.

"Okay, it's okay!" Xie Yi had already blamed him for a few words, but when he saw the beauty crying, he couldn't bear it. He comforted him softly: "It's a blessing, it's a disaster, it's a disaster, it's not something you can change by rejecting me thousands of miles away.

Do you think you are stupid? You have wasted so much time in vain and torture yourself and me... Fortunately, you are enlightened now, otherwise you will not have time to regret it when we are all white-haired."

"Yeah!" Du Shihan nodded slightly and whispered: "I'm sorry, I should have told you long ago that I was stupid. I didn't expect things to be so troubled."

Xie Yi frowned and said, "Did you not expect that someone suddenly appear?"

"Ah, he..." Du Xijun thought Xie Yi was misunderstood and hurriedly explained: "Sanlang, don't misunderstand, I have nothing to do with him..."

"Of course it's nothing. You were only a few years old when you ran away with your mother. Even if you were childhood sweethearts, your impression must have faded." Xie Yi smiled and said, "So you don't have to be nervous. I just want to ask who is the benefactor who saved your and my life?"

"Depending on his stature, if he guessed correctly, it should be..." Du Xijun pondered for a moment and gently uttered a few words.

...

Fenglefang, Zheng’s House!

This is the residence of the late communist Zheng Renji, and now it is only the residence of Zheng Liwan's boudoir.

The maids who were waiting for the washing had just left, and Zheng Liwan was sitting in front of the bronze mirror to take off her makeup, but A Bi, who was still in shock behind her, seemed very uneasy.

"Madam, today is so scary."

Zheng Liwan said as usual: "Yes, the sword light and sword shadow, killing and assassinating are indeed scary."

Abi imagined: "The luck today is really bad. If the shaft had not been damaged, we could have avoided it..."

"Is that true?" Zheng Liwan shook her head and said, "We were in line with the same route as the East Palace carriage. The prince was in front of us, and the shaft was not broken, and he followed tighter. When the assassin arrived, can we avoid it?"

"In this way, it's a blessing for us to meet Mr. Xie?" Abi smiled slightly, then frowned again: "But we also met an assassin in Mr. Xie's car, thanks to the hero who took action..."

"But..." Speaking of this, Abi suddenly wondered: "Madam, when she returned, she met Sun Shaoqing from Dali Temple and asked, why did you insist that you had not encountered anything, and stayed at Qixia Gate with Xue Shi, and went straight to Qixia Gate?"

"Remember, this is how things are. Nothing happens. Don't talk nonsense." Zheng Liwan once again sternly, and then whispered: "In this way, he can reduce unnecessary trouble."

"He? Master Xie?" Abi asked with a smile: "Why did your wife take the risk and help Master Xie?"

"this……"

Before Zheng Liwan could answer, Abi guessed, "Is it because his wife appreciated his literary talent and liked his poetry? Or is it because he was the first man who dared to walk in the same car with his wife and approached privately? Or when he encountered danger, Xie Xueshu took the initiative to block his wife?"

"You..." Zheng Liwan, who has always been generous, couldn't help but feel speechless.

"It's late at night, it's time for my wife to go to bed. Abi is going to give you a bed..." Abi smiled, and her expression was even more meaningful. She turned around and ran away.

Zheng Liwan took off the last hairpin, got up and walked to the window. The bottle of red plum blossoms was just right. Fortunately, the porcelain bottle was not broken in the panic and bumpy state, and the plum blossoms were still elegant and fragrant.

Zheng Liwan leaned forward and sniffed it gently. A light smile appeared on her beautiful cheeks, and she couldn't help but think of the sentence "She was smiling in the bush".

The delicate jade hand gently turned the plum branches, and scenes seemed to flash between the blooming red plums, and Zheng Liwan's sweet smile gradually disappeared.

There was a little doubt and curiosity in the moving but deep eyes, and there was even a hint of vague worry...
