Chapter 349: Love at first sight
Yu Lingye: "Why do you suddenly think of asking these questions?"
Xie Yingmian said, "I just suddenly remembered it."
"You and Chen Tingsi are close friends, why don't you know anything?"
Yu Lingye: "It's precisely because we're close friends that we need to maintain a sense of boundaries."
"If Chen Tingsi is willing to talk, I will listen."
"If he doesn't want to say it, he must have a reason for not wanting to say it."
Xie Yingmian doesn't understand but respects friendships between men.
She didn't continue the topic.
"Let's get down to business," she said. "Yunxiang has replied."
"It has been confirmed that Wu Anbo was also a participant back then. Wu Anbo was responsible for bringing the aphrodisiac to the emperor. The emperor wanted to attack my mother, but by mistake he attacked Madam Liu instead."
"The emperor wanted to take control of Xie Jingyun by possessing my mother, and make Xie Jingyun serve the emperor. Unfortunately, the emperor got the wrong person, and Madam Liu became the victim."
"It is now certain that the person my mother met in the attic was Xie Jingyun."
Xie Yingmian was very puzzled.
Since Xie Jingyun knew the original owner's mother, Shen Yu, why didn't he mention it once in his diary?
There were no signs of tearing in the diary.
Also, the original owner’s mother became pregnant not long after the palace banquet. Who was the original owner’s biological father?
Did the original owner's mother have an affair with Xie Jingyun and gave birth to the original owner, or was there another hidden story?
These are still mysteries.
Yu Lingye: "Master Xie may know something about your mother's past."
Xie Yingmian clapped his hands.
Those who are involved are often confused.
How could she forget Lord Xie!
"I will kidnap Lord Xie and interrogate him tonight." Xie Yingmian was already familiar with the process.
Yu Lingye: ...
That's not necessary.
He handed an invitation to Xie Yingmian: "I received it this morning."
Xie Yingmian saw the word "Thank" on the invitation and raised her eyebrows: "The Xie family is quite courageous. They actually dared to hand over an invitation to me."
She opened the invitation.
She smiled when she saw the content on the invitation.
"The Xie family is really brave. They actually invited me to Xie Baoyu's engagement party. Aren't they afraid that I'll ruin Xie Baoyu's place?"
She couldn't understand the Xie family's train of thought.
Yu Lingye said, "It's precisely because of the uproar over the dowry incident a while ago that the Xie family invited us to attend. As long as we can shake things up, the rumors will be self-defeating."
Just a little guidance.
Xie Yingmian understood immediately.
"That's a good opportunity indeed." She looked at the date.
The date is the day after tomorrow.
Xie Yingmian set aside a day and took Yu Lingye to Xie Mansion early in the morning.
It’s different from the old lady’s birthday party.
This time, everyone, led by the old lady of the Xie family, was waiting at the door, waiting for their arrival.
When they saw her and Yu Lingye, everyone had a smile on their face.
Even Xie Baoyu, who had always hated Xie Yingmian to the core, came forward with a fake smile and took Xie Yingmian's hand.
Xie Yingmian avoided Xie Baoyu.
dislike.
Xie Baoyu's expression changed.
Thinking that today was a very important day and no mistakes could be made, and that the Chen family must not be made aware of the strained relationship between them and Prince Ling's Mansion, he forced a smile.
"elder sister……"
"Stop." Xie Yingmian said, "I know what you're up to. There's no need to act like this. There's no one here, so there's no need to act."
She didn't care what Xie Baoyu's expression was, and said directly to Lord Xie: "Lord Xie, please move to the study, I have something to discuss."
When Lord Xie was called, he subconsciously glanced at Yu Lingye.
Yu Lingye had an indifferent expression, and it was obvious that he was listening to Xie Yingmian.
In the study.
Xie Yingmian got straight to the point: "Lord Xie, I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll just say it straight."
"Tell me what happened after my mother married into the Xie family, including my birth and my mother's death."
Lord Xie's face turned pale in an instant.
He looked at Xie Yingmian and stammered, "You, what did you find out?"
Xie Yingmian: "I found out a lot of things."
"For example, we found out that my mother's difficult labor was caused by you and Old Madam Xie. My mother's death was caused by you two."
Lord Xie took a few steps back, looking dejected. "Everyone has their own responsibility. Your mother's death has nothing to do with Baoyu. I hope you will consider this for the sake of being a fellow Xie family member..."
Xie Yingmian: "Answer my questions honestly."
"If you answer honestly, I will play my role well at Xie Baoyu's engagement party today."
"If you don't answer honestly, you will bear the consequences."
Lord Xie sat down dejectedly.
He wanted to sit back in the chair, but in his panic he sat sideways and fell directly to the ground.
"My patience is limited." Xie Yingmian said, "I'll give you a cup of tea."
Lord Xie knew that there was no turning back, so he sighed and said, "I'll tell you."
"There's really nothing much to say."
"Chen Yu is not favored in the Shen family. The Shen family is still a merchant family. Logically, I would not marry a merchant's daughter as my wife. I married her because I fell in love with her at first sight..."
Xie Yingmian once asked Tu Bufan to investigate these.
Chen Yu and Xie Tao fell in love at first sight, and Xie Tao insisted on marrying anyone but Chen Yu.
In order to curry favor with the Marquis's family, the Shen family tried their best to arrange this marriage and even prepared a lot of dowry for Shen Yu.
She didn't know the details.
Lord Xie: "I first met Shen Yu in spring. That spring, apricot blossoms covered the hillside, and I went there with a few friends to enjoy the flowers and drink."
"It was sunny but suddenly it started to rain heavily. We were far away from the carriage and didn't have an umbrella. The rain was getting heavier, so we went to a nearby house to stay overnight."
"That house is the Shen House."
"I met Shen Yu at the Shen residence. She was sitting very quietly under the apricot tree, playing a piece of music she had composed. Apricot blossoms were blooming and the rain was gentle. Her white clothes were whiter than snow, her skin was whiter than snow, and she was as beautiful as a painting."
"I fell in love with her the first time I saw her."
Lord Xie was immersed in memories, and a blush appeared on his face.
Back then, he really liked Shen Yu.
He likes her so much that he can't help himself and wants to marry her at all costs.
Later, he really married Shen Yu.
Xie Yingmian sneered, "Scumbag."
Lord Xie didn't understand what the term "scumbag" meant.
It doesn't sound like a compliment.
"When did it change?" Xie Yingmian asked.
Lord Xie thought Xie Yingmian was asking when Chen Yu changed, so he thought carefully and said, "I don't know when she changed either."
"I swear, when I saw Chen Yu in the apricot blossoms and drizzle, my heart was so moved that it almost jumped out of my chest. I even felt that I could die for her."
"Later, I went to see her again. She was wearing a light yellow and green dress that time. She was just as gentle and quiet, and my heart was pounding just as fast."
"I have no shortage of women. I have seen many beautiful women, but this is the only one that makes my heart so moved."
"When our wedding date was set, I was so happy I couldn't sleep."
Lord Xie smiled bitterly and said, "I can feel that she has me in her heart as well."
"But, since when did it change?"
"Probably since she fell into the water."
Xie Yingmian captured the key word: falling into the water!
