Chapter 595 The Secret
Without waiting for Elder Nie and Father Nie to respond, Nie Xiao coldly said, "Or perhaps, you could have investigated the truth, but you were so focused on your family's reputation that you completely disregarded the truth?"
As Nie Xiao finished speaking, Old Nie's expression changed. Nie Yao couldn't help but look at Nie Xiao in surprise, feeling as if he had something else to say!
Could it be that this Nie Xiao also knew something, or guessed some unspeakable secrets?
"Nie Xiao!" Old Nie was enraged by Nie Xiao's arrogant attitude. He shouted, pointing at Nie Xiao and scolding him harshly, "I've sent you abroad to study all these years, and this is all you've learned? Even if you're resentful, this isn't the place to vent your anger!"
"Grandpa, I just want the truth for my cousin and myself. How can that be considered venting my anger?" Nie Xiao shook his head and said with a smile, "But you're suddenly so angry. Could it be that my words have made you feel guilty? You are the head of the Nie family. So many things have happened to the Nie family. Would you rather be blinded by a leaf than pursue the truth?"
"You--" Old Nie was so angry at Nie Xiao's words that his face turned ashen. The hand that was pointing at Nie Xiao began to tremble constantly, and his body was shaking with anger. He almost fainted from anger.
Seeing this, Father Nie quickly supported his father and asked worriedly, "Dad, are you okay?"
Although Nie Yao agreed with what Nie Xiao said, seeing Old Man Nie like this, she quickly stepped forward to support him and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, are you okay?"
"I'm fine..." Old Nie waved his hands, his voice a little weak, his temples still throbbing with anger.
"Dad, I think the midday sun is too strong. Let's help Grandpa go back and rest..." Nie Yao suggested this, and Father Nie nodded in agreement.
"Ayao, you stay here to greet the guests, I can do it alone..." Seeing that Nie Yao wanted to accompany him to support Old Man Nie, Nie's father hurriedly persuaded with a smile.
Nie Yao thought about it and decided to call a male servant to accompany her father and help Old Nie go back to rest.
After his father and grandfather left together, Nie Yao sighed softly, raised an eyebrow and looked at Nie Xiao, saying helplessly: "Nie Xiao, look at what you said just now, you made Grandpa so angry that he almost fainted!"
Nie Xiao smiled noncommittally and replied indifferently, "Cousin, since you were found, haven't you ever questioned why it took so many years after your disappearance to be found? And how did Nie Jinxi deceive my uncle and grandfather, taking your place safely and staying in the Nie family for all these years?"
"How do you know I haven't questioned it?" Nie Yao asked with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
Nie Xiao was stunned when he saw her calm smile. He asked hesitantly, "Have you found out the truth?"
"The truth isn't that easy to uncover, but we have some clues..." Nie Yao smiled faintly and whispered to her cousin, "Nie Xiao, when investigating anything, evidence is key! Asking questions without proof will be completely useless and might even... alert the enemy!"
Nie Xiao was slightly startled, then met Nie Yao's eyes. As if understanding something, he nodded and whispered, "Thank you for the reminder, cousin. I'll pay attention!"
Seeing that Nie Xiao listened to her suggestion so quickly, Nie Yao recalled what she said to him when she met him in the yard last night, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
