The Mu Garden where Xie Wanyun currently lived was naturally given to Qin Junhao and Xie Silong. The orphans from that time had all grown up, and some had already moved out. Xiaoya, her godmother Mama Li, and a few younger children still lived there.
When Qin Junhao and Xie Silong returned home that day, everyone was overjoyed and worshipped them as heroes.
Mu Garden is their home.
Yan Jinbai had already stood up and said with a smile, "I'll go check on my room. Father and Mother will have a good talk. I won't be a bother here anymore."
The two shouted in unison: "What nonsense?!"
Yan Jinbai laughed loudly and ran away without a trace.
"Mianmian." Yan Suizhi held Xie Wanyun's hand. This time she didn't refuse, and took advantage of his pull to lean into his arms.
"Meimei, do you know when I fell in love with you?" Yan Suizhi's lips slid across her face.
Xie Wanyun also wanted to know, but had never been too embarrassed to ask. Seeing Yan Suizhi bring it up on his own initiative, he deliberately said angrily, "If you want to say it, just say it. How would I know?"
Yan Suizhi laughed and said, "You've always been this straightforward. No wonder you didn't know anything. It was when you brought me back to the Xie family."
Xie Wanyun's eyes widened in disbelief. "I was only a few years old at the time, still a child! Yan Suizhi, you're so mean! You have ulterior motives!"
Yan Suizhi laughed heartily. It was a clear and crisp laugh, coming from the bottom of his heart. He was usually aloof, but his laughter was extremely contagious. When his laughter rose, it instantly filled the room with spring.
Xie Wanyun couldn't help but take a few more glances and said hesitantly, "Is it really that funny?"
"Meimei, I was nearly freezing to death from hunger and cold at the time, so I didn't even think about these things. I just felt that you were the god sent by Heaven to save me. I told myself then and there that I would live only for you for the rest of my life."
Xie Wanyun blushed and felt a surge of emotion after hearing these sweet words. "Am I that good?" she asked silently, looking at Yan Huanzhi.
"You have it, Meimei." Yan Suizhi said affirmatively, as if he could see through her thoughts.
"Then something bad happened to the Xie family. I watched you transform from an innocent and bright little girl into a silent and taciturn person. The light in your eyes was gone. I was heartbroken. From then on, I decided I wanted to go into politics, to wield power, and to seek justice for the Xie family. But before I could fully develop my skills, that incident happened again... This is the biggest regret I have in my life."
Yan Suizhi said this with a look of shame on his face.
Xie Wanyun reached out and stroked his face, saying softly, "It's all in the past. Now that our family can finally be together, it's all good."
Xie Wanyun's eyes suddenly dimmed.
"But until now, the Xie family's injustice has not been redressed."
After the Yan Suizhi case, everyone understood that Huang Yanjing didn't have that much power. He could only delay the war, and he didn't even have access to the marching map. The real mastermind behind the scenes was still Emperor Dezong.
The emperor decides who is still valuable and who is discarded.
"The person behind the scenes, or the person who really wants the Xie family to die, is--" The name was about to come out.
Yan Suizhi hugged her tightly, as if trying to give her strength.
Xie Wanyun felt a sudden pain in his heart, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Why? My father... the Xie family was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, defending the border for the country, but why did he receive such suspicion and end up like this?"
She actually already had the answer in her heart.
Xie Zhongming, the Duke of Zhenguo, was a brave warrior with great military power and a distinguished record of military achievements. Many officials, not only in the army but also in the court, were his former subordinates and students.
Even the imperial army was called the Xie Family Army by the people of Mobei.
When people mentioned the imperial army, the first person that came to mind was Xie Zhongming and his Xie Family Army. No emperor would allow such a situation to exist. Only by holding the military power in his hands could the emperor sit on the throne securely.
No matter who this minister is or whether he is loyal or not, as long as he is in this position, he will arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Power is always the most tempting and dangerous thing.
There is no father and son in the royal family, and no family affection in the royal family.
For the throne, fathers, sons and brothers killed each other, let alone foreign ministers.
Therefore, my father's tragic ending was already doomed.
