Chapter 119 As long as you let me go, I will tell you Wei Si's secret
Wen Qingsong spoke with forbearance and grievance, as if he had made a big concession.
Wen Xingluo looked at him and suddenly laughed.
Endless autumn rain is falling outside the window.
The bleak chill seeped in through the window, and the girl's laughter was low, like the whispers of an evil spirit.
Wen Qingsong's scalp tingled, but he still managed to maintain his fatherly demeanor and shouted, "What are you laughing at?!"
Wen Xingluo tilted his head. "I thought Father loved my sister very much, but I didn't expect that Father seemed to care more about his career. I always believed that love grows from flesh and blood and time. It is about giving in, fulfilling, and sacrificing. Obviously, Father doesn't actually have the ability to love. Since you don't have love at all, how can you say you love me?"
The rainy night is quiet.
The girl in the room was unusually rational.
In his previous life, Wen Qingsong had only seen this expression when she was dealing with outsiders.
He opened his mouth to refute, but found that he couldn't refute her at all.
He was furious and changed the subject, "What on earth do you want to do by coming to see me tonight?!"
"Father, I'm here to take your life."
The girl's tone was extremely gentle, but it made Wen Qingsong feel cold all over as if he was in an ice cellar.
He seemed like a spent force, yet still holding on to his last bit of strength, he angrily shouted, "I'm your father!"
Wen Xingluo glanced out the dark window.
The shadows of the trees swayed gracefully in the autumn rain, looking like a crowd of people.
She adjusted the gold hairpin on the side of her bun, and a strange color flashed across her eyes.
She stood up suddenly.
This simple action startled Wen Qingsong. The fear of dying similar to that in his previous life came over him again, like an invisible shackle strangling his throat.
He stared at Wen Xingluo closely, swallowing his saliva in fear, and the half of his body that was blown apart couldn't stop spasming.
His appearance made Wen Xingluo couldn't help but curl her lips.
It turns out that the man who was unattainable in her heart when she was young was actually no different from a dog who bullies the weak and fears the strong.
No, he's not even close to being as cute as a dog.
"Wen Xingluo!" Wen Qingsong was afraid she would really attack him, so his throat made a hoarse and broken sound like an old broken window. "You and I are father and daughter. Blood is thicker than water. This should be the closest relationship in the world! As long as you let me go, I can tell you your mother's deepest secret!"
He and Wei Si shared the same bed for many years.
In the first few years, Wei Si often woke up from her sleep.
At that time, she had called out several extraordinary names in her dreams.
Considering her demeanor and upbringing, no matter how dumb Wen Qingsong was, he could vaguely guess her identity.
Seeing Wen Xingluo looking at him quietly, Wen Qingsong couldn't help but grin. "You're moved. You really want to know, right? I heard from Yue Yin that you and Wei Si are very close now. How come you have such a deep mother-daughter relationship, but she never told you about her background?"
"Father," Wen Xingluo spoke softly, like a forgiving and gentle superior, "You're already old, and you're still playing tricks on me. Don't you think it's childish? Secrets are secrets because there's a reason they can't be told. If Mother wants to tell me her secrets, I'll listen. If she doesn't want to talk, I won't pry. I believe this is the minimum respect for a person."
Wen Qingsong widened his eyes, not expecting to hear this answer.
Unable to hold his little daughter, fear came over him again and he couldn't help shaking like a sieve.
"Look how scared you are," Wen Xingluo chuckled, "as if I were going to kill you."
"Difficult... isn't it?"
"You must die, but not by me." Wen Xingluo put his hood back on and glanced at the dark rain again. "I won't bring trouble upon myself."
Everything went so smoothly tonight.
She was surprised that everything went smoothly from finding Wen Qingsong to entering his dormitory.
When she glanced at the rain outside the window for the first time, she suddenly thought, she had disrupted Mu Zhiqiu's coming-of-age ceremony and destroyed the Mu family's marriage plan. Would the Mu family really sit back and let her go?
Put yourself in her shoes. If she were Mu Zhiqiu, knowing in advance that she was going to attack Wen Qingsong, she would definitely sit back and wait, catching her on the spot after she attacked Wen Qingsong and accusing her of patricide.
Compared to liking a stepbrother, the crime of patricide is of course more severe.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, where filial piety was the guiding principle, even Xie Guanlan could not openly protect her.
Wen Xingluo stepped out of the door and did not return to the courtyard where he was staying. Instead, he knocked on Wen Yueyin's door.
Wen Yueyin opened the door and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
Wen Xingluo said with concern: "Sister, I am here to save you."
"Save me?" Wen Yueyin couldn't understand.
Wen Xingluo sat down in her room. "Although I have often been against my brothers and sisters over the past year, in my heart, you are still more important than anything else."
Wen Yueyin stared at her, always feeling that she had evil intentions.
"I'm sure you've seen father's miserable condition firsthand." Wen Xingluo sighed softly, "He's so crippled he can't even walk. Do you really think he can still become the chief clerk of the prefectural governor's mansion?"
Wen Yueyin was silent.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she really couldn't convince herself that her father could still be as powerful and influential as he was in his previous life.
"Sister, isn't it strange? Father and Governor Mu had no connection, yet Governor Mu inexplicably came forward to protect him. Was he impressed by his political potential? But Father's condition clearly shows that his career prospects have come to an end, and he has absolutely no potential. If I'm not mistaken, Father must be hiding a secret, and he's using this secret to beg Governor Mu to save his life."
Wen Yueyin frowned slightly, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Father has always refused to reveal this secret, which is why he's survived until now. Governor Mu had no other way to deal with him, so he had to bring you to Yangcheng, intending to threaten him with your lives to reveal the secret. Sister, can you guess, in father's heart, which is more important, his life or yours?"
The girl analyzed the situation of Wen Yueyin and others in detail and told her about it.
She looked at Wen Yueyin's confused eyes, and a curve appeared on her cherry lips.
The worst kind of deception is an outright lie.
The most clever trick is to make every word true.
She wanted to deceive Wen Yueyin and kill Wen Qingsong with her own hands.
She wanted Wen Qingsong to see with her own eyes what kind of person the child he had raised with such care was.
She leaned forward slightly, lowering her voice amid the sound of the overwhelming autumn rain. "If you don't believe me, you can try leaving the prefectural government with big brother and the others and see if they're willing to let you out."
Wen Yueyin's eyes were bloodshot and he stared at her angrily.
Wen Xingluo smiled, "As for how to break the deadlock, I believe Sister already has the answer in her mind."
She stood up to leave, and Wen Yueyin couldn't help but ask, "You're here to instigate me to kill my father, aren't you?!"
Only by killing Wen Qingsong and putting an end to Governor Mu's plan can the brother and sister have a chance of survival!
Wen Yueyin gritted her teeth, her voice particularly shrill in the rainy night, "You want me to bear the infamy of the world, you want me to never be the Crown Princess again!"
"Sister," Wen Xingluo looked back, "I told you before, I'm here to save you. This is the only path before you, and you have to go, even if you don't want to."
She smiled gently and stepped out of the door.
The spy quickly reported her departure to Mu Zhiqiu.
Upon learning that Wen Xingluo did not kill Wen Qingsong, Mu Zhiqiu frowned, "How could this be?"
Mu Shangming said, "I think, Qiu'er, you're probably worrying too much. How could she, a little girl, dare to kill her father?"
