Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 507
The carriage galloped all the way, and finally arrived at Guyu City before noon.

Tang Huanxi ordered Xiao Baorui to find a clean inn, and everyone stayed temporarily.

"Miss, didn't you say that you want to hurry back to Yunshui County immediately? Why do you suddenly want to stay in Guyu City temporarily?"

"The Gu on Sister Wei hasn't been cleared yet, and don't you want to know the truth about Xu Wanjin's suicide?" Tang Huanxi smiled and put down the chopsticks in his hand, rubbing his stomach contentedly and said, "The food in this inn is really good. Duo, this sweet and sour pork tenderloin tastes very good!"

"What do you mean, lady?" Xiao Baorui's eyes lit up instantly, "But why don't we stay in Jinling City?"

"Did sister Huanxi discover something?" Wei Ping also cast a curious look, "Did you already have a plan?"

"Well," Tang Huanxi nodded frankly, then stood up, closed all the windows around him, and finally cast a wink at Xiao Baorui. Just when everyone was puzzled, the door in front of him was suddenly closed. Open it, and a hunched old man walked in front of them.

When the old man looked up, he met Xiao Baorui's gaze...

Xiao Baorui's eyes widened in astonishment, he couldn't believe the scene in front of him!
This old man's face is exactly the same as Xu Wanjin's!
"Xu...Uncle Xu?" Xiao Baorui raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, making sure that everything in front of him was not a dream. He anxiously grabbed his hand and asked nervously, "Uncle Xu, why are you here?" ? Haven't you already..."

"Silly boy, I thought I'd never see you again in this life, I never thought God would open his eyes!" Xu Wanjin patted his chest, filled with emotion!

After a breath, everyone sat down.

Tang Huanxi pretended to cough twice, and then explained with a smile, "Actually, when I decided to go to Master Xu's study with Xiao Baorui yesterday, I had a plan in my mind. are closely related, so we can only outsmart them!"

"Who do you mean lady?" Xiao Baorui blinked, confused?
Tang Huanxi suppressed the smile on her face, raised her hand and pointed upwards, and everyone understood.

The Xu family is the richest man in Dayong, and the Xiao family was also an incomparably brilliant existence back then.

The only person who can make Xu Wanjin afraid is the one who is superior.

When Tang Huanxi was fighting with Xu Wanjin earlier, she took advantage of his unpreparedness and stuffed something into his waist pouch.

A note, a small bottle of mountain spring water.

"Seeing the words on the note, I felt reassured." Xu Wanjin sighed in a low voice, "In the past few years, I, Xu Wanjin, have lived a luxurious life of wealth and prosperity in the eyes of outsiders, but I actually live day and night in fear, I can't sleep at night, I live in fear every day."

As one of the few insiders who knew that the Xiao family in Jinling was wiped out, Xu Wanjin was really afraid that if the one above him was not happy and charged him with some crimes, his life would be completely ruined !
"Sister Wei, shall we go and guard the door?" An Xiuhui realized that the topic they were about to discuss was very sensitive, so she simply got up and left the room with Wei Ping.

Xu Wanjin breathed a sigh of relief, looked into Xiao Baorui's eyes and said, "I found a doctor with excellent medical skills back then, and erased some memories in your mind."

"Uncle Xu?" Xiao Baorui frowned immediately, becoming more and more confused, "Why did you do this?"

"Because, if I don't do this, both you and Jing Yuan will die!" Xu Wanjin said with a stern expression, "At the beginning, I thought that what I did was secret enough, and I thought that no matter where you and Jing Yuan are, as long as you are still alive ... As long as you are still alive, it means that the Xiao family still has blood in this world... In that case, I will be worthy of your father, and our Xu family can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the Xiao family for their help... "

At the end of speaking, Xu Wanjin's voice became more and more choked up.

"Uncle Xu, I want to know the truth." Xiao Baorui poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xu Wanjin respectfully, "I want to know the truth about the destruction of the Xiao family back then. Maybe there is no way to avenge the whole family! But now I have intermittently heard some pictures from the past, if I don't do something, I... I deserve death!"

Xu Wanjin heaved a long sigh, feeling extremely sad in his heart.

The world is impermanent.

"You should still remember that both my father and your grandfather married young ladies from the Lan family."

"Well, remember!"

"Then do you still remember the status of the Lan family in the Yong Dynasty?"

Xiao Baorui seriously recalled it, and finally said in a deep voice, "I heard from my father that the previous prime minister was from Lan's family?"

"That's right, Lan Xizhi, the former prime minister, his daughter also entered the palace as a concubine, and later became the most beloved Concubine Lan..." Recalling the past, Xu Wanjin's heart gradually calmed down.

Concubine Lan was the most beloved concubine of the first emperor, and her status in the harem was second only to the empress.

Although the empress at that time came from a humble background, she was the wife of the late emperor who had accompanied the emperor all the way to conquer the world, so no one dared to question her status. In addition, the empress was heroic and valiant, so she had a very high status in the army.

Later, the queen passed away, and all the evidence was aimed at Concubine Lan Gui.

Later, the prince who was the queen's descendant successfully ascended to the throne and became the ruler of the Great Yong Dynasty.

Today's Holy Majesty has always been brooding over his mother's death, so after the death of Concubine Lan Gui, he targeted the third prince who was born of Concubine Lan Gui.

Eighteen years ago, an important official in the court who once supported the third prince slipped in front of the imperial court, and was whipped by the Holy Majesty, which eventually implicated the third prince guarding the imperial mausoleum.

"Originally these battles in the court would not involve Jinling, but the bad thing is that the courtier said that the late emperor wrote a will before his death, and confirmed that the third prince should be enthroned as the emperor. Although the prince is the eldest son, but His reputation and prestige are not as good as those of the third prince... So after careful consideration, the first emperor made such a decision!
Later, it was rumored that the first emperor gave the will to Concubine Lan, and Concubine Lan was afraid of the crown prince's revenge, so she sent the will back to the Lan family in Jinling early. After suffering the seedlings, none of the Lan family members survived.

It turns out that my mother and your grandmother are from the Lan family, but very few people know about it... But I didn’t want to, someone actually went to investigate the household registration of the government, and finally found out that your grandmother is from the Lan family, and our Xu family ...Because my mother passed away early, she was not implicated, so she managed to avoid this catastrophe, but the Xiao family was not so lucky..."
