Xie Shiyan was immersed in a state of grief.
Gu Jiangli guessed that Xie Shiyan's feelings for his mother must be extraordinary.
"What kind of woman was she?" Gu Jiangli became curious about this beautiful but ill-fated woman.
Xie Shiyan kept his heart closed and might not tell you everything, but he would try to find out as much as he could.
Xie Shiyan fell into a moment of recollection, then spoke:
"She is a... sorcerer."
"Hmm?" Gu Jiangli felt a little surprised.
She had originally thought this gentle and quiet woman would be a lady from a prominent family.
I didn't expect him to be a warlock?
Here, "sorcerer" generally refers to someone who can predict good or bad fortune and foresee the future.
In her words, she was a fortune teller.
How could a sorcerer become the wife of the Xie family?
Moreover, she was the wife of General Xie, who was particularly concerned about status and position...
That was truly unexpected.
Xie Shiyan, seeing her surprise, said:
I know what you're surprised about.
"Indeed, the Xie family values status. My mother was the first wife of low status in the main branch of the Xie family in the past hundred years."
"My father married her for a very simple reason, because she..."
"Moreover, she said that only if my father marries her will the Xie family line not be cut off."
"My grandmother didn't believe her at first, but she predicted the crises the Xie family would face in those months and provided solutions for each one."
“Everything she said came true, and my grandmother and the Xie family had no choice but to believe her.”
"Left with no other choice, General Xie married her."
"The following year, I was born."
Gu Jiangli clicked his tongue in amazement.
General Xie didn't seem willing when he married Xie Shiyan's mother.
Therefore, their lives must be unhappy.
Similarly, it can be concluded that Xie Shiyan's childhood must have been unhappy.
Xie Shiyan saw her frown and let out a sneer.
However, the sneer wasn't directed at Gu Jiangli, but at General Xie.
"He doesn't love my mother, but he wants to leave offspring for the Xie family."
"He was afraid of my mother's all-seeing eyes, afraid that she could use magic to figure out what he was thinking, so he never took the initiative to approach my mother."
"After I came into the Xie family, he kept thinking about finding his true love. He needed to find a woman he truly liked."
"My mother is seriously ill and is trapped in this room, feeling depressed."
"He, on the other hand, lived a life of unbridled pleasure with his concubine."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiangli frowned even more deeply.
It is obvious.
Liu was the woman he truly loved.
Xie Shiyan's mother rescued her and took her home, perhaps out of good intentions.
But she probably never imagined that this woman from the Red Mansion who could play the piano and sing would win the heart of General Xie.
When General Xie suggested taking Liu as a concubine, she did not refuse.
She fell seriously ill and was bedridden, but her husband not only didn't come to care for her, but instead exchanged affections with other women.
That's absolutely disgusting!
Thinking of this, she felt somewhat indignant for the woman who had tragically died.
“That Liu is truly heartless. Your mother kindly rescued her and brought her back to the General’s Mansion. How could she be flirting and having an affair with her benefactor’s husband?”
"The fact that she became a concubine clearly shows that she used all her cunning and intentionally wanted to take your mother's place."
"How awful."
Seeing her aggressive demeanor, Xie Shiyan couldn't help but chuckle.
What are you angry about?
"I'm angry at myself for not giving Liu two more blows earlier."
"You even hit her?"
"Oh, it seems they didn't touch her, they hit your dad instead."
Xie Shiyan's smile vanished, replaced by a look of surprise. "You hit General Xie?"
Such an incredulous expression rarely appeared on his face.
Gu Jiangli nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"Yes, I slammed my stick into him. General Xie was injured and couldn't beat me. I took him down in one go."
After Gu Jiangli finished speaking, he tentatively asked, "You won't blame me, will you? After all, he's... your biological father."
Xie Shiyan slowly came to his senses, his whole body exuding a ruthless aura.
You should give him two more whacks.
“My mother’s body was barely cold, and before he could even be buried, he rushed to make his concubine his legal wife. From that moment on, he was no longer my father.”
Gu Jiangli's anger was also ignited.
It's shameful to rush to establish a concubine before the person has even been buried!
“Shi Yan, he is not your father, so he is not my father-in-law. I am on your side.”
"Tell me, what are you going to do about those two scoundrels...that couple?"
She swallowed the words "dog and woman" back down her throat.
It's not that I'm afraid of offending anyone, it's just that I feel it's really not very elegant.
Xie Shiyan didn't notice her change of address; a sinister aura permeated his entire being.
“They’ve already dared to openly conspire with the princess to scheme against me, so I don’t need to show them any mercy.”
Gu Jiangli asked expectantly, "What are you going to do?"
A murderous intent continued to spread in Xie Shiyan's cold eyes.
"I want them dead."
Gu Jiangli's cold eyes narrowed slightly.
Xie Shiyan's idea is her idea.
————
The following day, Gu Jiangli and Xie Shiyan heard unexpected news.
Madam Xie actually got into an argument with General Xie.
And it was very noisy.
Gu Jiangli, wanting to join in the fun, dragged Xie Shiyan along to Old Madam Xie's residence to inquire.
