Chapter 191 Xie Huaiguang's Secret
Chapter 191 Xie Huaiguang's Secret
Zhao Yingqiao was almost going crazy.
I have been raising sparrows all my life, but who would have thought that in the end I would have my eyes pecked by a sparrow.
"How dare this little bastard lie to me? For the sake of Gu Suiyu, he still has me, his mother, in his heart!"
Zhao Yingqiao was furious. As a mother, she would not resent her son, so all the resentment was transferred to Gu Suiyu.
"Just for a woman, he has to make me worry? How unfilial! How unfilial!!"
Yin Qing quickly looked at Yin Zhengnan's letter in the light of the candle.
There is not much content in the letter, but the core meaning is just one point.
The betrothal gifts have been given, Gu Sui Yu is his wife, and no one can change that. When I become a general and return to the capital in glory, we will hold the wedding then. As for himself, there is no need to worry, he will definitely follow Gu Zixuan closely, and as long as the brother of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion is still alive, he will not die.
Seeing this, even Yin Qing couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Even he couldn't help but want to strangle this rebellious son to death.
What's wrong with my brain? Why doesn't it look like mine at all?
"It's too late to catch up now."
Yin Qing hung up the letter. Outside the window, there was wind and snow. With such heavy snow, even if someone was sent out, they would get lost in the snowy night. The visibility was already low at night, and with heavy snow, everything looked the same everywhere. It would be a miracle if they didn't get lost.
Zhao Yingqiao was so angry that she burst into tears. She scolded, "Go, take this letter to Yong'an Marquis Mansion and show it to Gu Suiyu!"
"What are you showing her?"
"Let her see who my son is disobeying his mother for!"
Zhao Yingqiao was also angry. She had always had a grudge against Gu Suiyu, and now she hated him to the extreme. Yin Qing advised: "It's meaningless for you to show it to her. The person has already left. Even if Gu Suiyu goes after him, he can't get him back."
"I don't care, I'm going to show her, someone come, someone come!"
Zhao Yingqiao was furious and turned around to yell, "Tomorrow morning, give this letter to the fourth young lady of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. I must hand it to her personally!"
"yes!"
The servant received the order and turned away.
The night grew deeper and the wind and snow became stronger.
Xie Mansion.
The two little lion cats lay in the old cat's arms, stretching comfortably. The old cat licked the kittens' fur lazily. The small stove was next to them, and the firewood was crackling.
Xie Huaiguang lit the candle, then took out a packet of powder from the secret compartment, mixed it with water, wet it with a handkerchief, and gently wiped his cheeks and facial features. Soon, a layer of fine powder was wiped off, revealing a mature and calm face, which had nothing to do with immaturity or youthfulness.
Then he gently covered his neck with the handkerchief, and soon, his Adam's apple stood out. At this moment, Xie Huaiguang did not look like a young man at all, but mature and steady. Half of his handsome face was hidden in the darkness where the candlelight could not reach, making him even more mysterious.
"Young Master, do you really want to hide like this for the rest of your life?"
The person who spoke was an old woman with a completely destroyed face. As her facial features were burned, others could not tell her age. Only her face looked particularly hideous, which made people afraid when they looked at it.
Xie Huaiguang opened the secret compartment and unlocked the small wooden box. Inside, a letter lay quietly on the red satin, along with a pair of tortoise-shell bracelets inlaid with gold and jewels.
He did not unfold the letter, but quietly picked up the bracelet and stroked the glittering gems on it. The beautiful pink diamonds and emeralds complemented each other, and small pearls dotted among them. No matter how you look at it, this is a bracelet that only young women would like.
Seeing Xie Huaiguang didn't say anything, the old woman sighed and said, "Back then, that vicious woman was looking for boys of the right age everywhere. If it wasn't for avoiding her, there would be no need for the young master to pretend to be a teenager. As a result, he wasted his youth and couldn't even get a wife."
The old man became more and more sad as he spoke. People of his age would have many children, but the young master didn't even dare to marry.
Fortunately, it is never too late for a man to get married, so it won’t prevent her from having a little master.
Xie Huaiguang put the bracelet back and stuffed the small wooden box back into the secret compartment. Everything was restored to its original state. Then he spoke: "Aunt Rong, you should know why I came back."
What happened back then, one by one, was deliberately distorted and buried by certain people. He came back to let these things see the light of day again.
As for the throne, I don't care about it. The world is so big and I can travel freely. Why should I stick to one corner and waste my precious time?
Therefore, what he wants is always the truth, redress of injustice, and supreme justice.
Aunt Rong sighed and said, "That bitch has already secured the position of Imperial Concubine. Young Master, it will be difficult for us to do it alone."
"No problem."
Xie Huaiguang didn't take it seriously.
"Give me another three years."
Xie Huaiguang originally thought that it would take at least ten years, ten years for him to sit on the position of prime minister, dig up the past, turn the entire court upside down, and then he could retire and live a carefree life.
But now, it seems that it won’t take that long.
The appearance of Gu Zixuan and Gu Zilu could shorten his plan by half.
"Su Jin...is really not an ordinary woman."
Whenever he mentioned this person, the corners of his mouth would always inadvertently raise a little, and his heart, which had been heavy with old things, would feel a little relieved. Even after meeting Su Jin a few times, he would always subconsciously recall the happy childhood times in his mother's bedroom, and his memory was finally no longer filled with only killing and fire.
The appearance of some people is destined to be salvation, the salvation that pulls him out of the abyss.
Looking at Xie Huaiguang's current appearance, Aunt Rong seemed to be hesitant to speak.
The young master has been paying attention to a woman recently. Actually, this is a good thing. However, I heard that this woman is divorced and has three children. The oldest is sixteen years old. Oh, she will be seventeen after the New Year.
Aunt Rong is not optimistic about this Su Jin because she is older than the young master and has a child. However, she cannot bear to speak out now. The young master has been patient until now. Although he does not show anything on weekdays and has always been calm and steady, as the person who raised him, Aunt Rong knows very well how dark the young master's heart is.
If there is something, or a person, that can make the young master feel comfortable and smile, Aunt Rong will acquiesce, even if that person is divorced and has a child.
Let’s wait for three years until the truth comes out and justice returns to the world. Then, I will persuade the young master to find someone younger.
Aunt Rong put new medicine powder on the table while thinking. Xie Huaiguang's disguise can only last for a month at most. It must be remade after a month, otherwise the skin will ulcerate.
The lion cat at his feet was meowing, and at this moment, on Su Jin's side, the little lion cat was lazily nestling in Su Jin's arms.
"Meow~"
The little guy turned over in her arms, with all four paws facing the sky, revealing his soft belly and the soft pink pads on his paws.
