Xu Xinyue pretended not to hear. She stood up and said to Xu Yuanshan, "Dad, since you have nothing to do, I will go back to the courtyard first. Uncle can talk to me when he comes. I am going to sleep..."

Xu Yuanshan was confused and was about to speak when he turned his head and saw He Xuehuai striding towards him.

He was still dressed in his usual short-sleeved shirt and coarse cloth, dressed like a vegetable farmer, with a small moustache on his lips, and he spoke bluntly without being shy:

"Why is Yueyue running away? She saw her uncle coming but she didn't even entertain him."

Got it!

Xu Xinyue clenched her fists, frowned, turned her back to He Xuehuai, and really didn't want to meet him right now.

I thought sadly in my heart: At least wait until I have severed the connection between the soul in my body and the outside world before coming back!

He Xuehuai thought she was really uncomfortable, so he walked around her and faced her. He lowered his head to observe her expression, and his voice unconsciously slowed down:

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?"

"Is your body made of mud? Will it melt if it gets a little wind or rain?"

Xu Xinyue didn't say anything, so He Xuehuai continued:

"I went to the palace to report today. I met Qin Lingruo and the young lady from the Xia Mansion who were returning to the palace. I heard them talking about how you had been ill for a long time and had not been in or out since you had an appointment with them, so I came to check on you."

Xu Xinyue murmured: "No, it's nothing serious..."

"If you're not seriously injured, why don't you go out?"

"I...I'm lazy..."

He Xuehuai touched his chin and looked her up and down:

"I feel lazy... Do you want to eat something? Like candied haws?"

Xu Xinyue looked up in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly asked this: "Huh? I don't want to."

She no longer likes those sour snacks that make your teeth fall out.

He Xuehuai said again: "Then, what about candied fruit? The sweet kind."

Xu Xinyue looked at him and shook her head woodenly.

"What about peppercorns? The hot, spicy kind. Do you want some soup pot?"

Xu Xinyue couldn't stand it any longer: "Uncle, what on earth do you want to say?"

He Xuehuai smiled and said, "Maybe, I'm going to be promoted..."

"Ah???" Xu Xinyue was very confused and looked at He Xuehuai in bewilderment.

"Hey, I just want to know if Yueyue has..."

He Xuehuai pointed at Xu Xinyue's abdomen from a distance.

Xu Xinyue finally understood what he meant. Her face instantly turned red. She said shyly and embarrassedly, "Uncle, what are you talking about! Qin Yuechuan went to war the day after his wedding. How is that possible?!"

He Xuehuai touched his nose and muttered softly, "Nothing is absolute... If he comes back and finds that there is another villain in the mansion, he will be very happy."

"uncle!!"

"Oh, okay, okay, if you don't have any, then you don't have any. I was just joking. I brought some supplements with me. You should take good care of yourself. Look at your small body."

Xu Xinyue turned her head and stopped talking.

"Don't you want to know what the Xu Mansion incident turned out to be?"

"I don't care. What happens in the Xu Mansion has nothing to do with me."

He Xuehuai seemed not to hear her response and continued:

"Well, they colluded with foreign enemies and secretly stationed troops. The whole clan will be imprisoned and will probably be sentenced to beheading."

Xu Xinyue lowered her head, frowned slightly, but said nothing.

He Xuehuai put his hand on her shoulder, pressed it gently, and said:

"I am just glad that the third branch has been expelled from the clan, and no one can touch you at all now."

Xu Xinyue lowered her eyelashes. For some reason, she seemed to have heard of this result before. If she remembered correctly, when she went to the Northern Frontier in her dream, she seemed to have heard Qingfeng mention:

"The entire Xu family was convicted. Only the third daughter was expelled from the family and her whereabouts are unknown."

This was the ending of the Xu family and the third branch in the previous life, and it is no different from the current situation.

Xu Mingxi is also a person who has started over, but is he unable to change the fate of the Xu family?

Then, what about Qin Yuechuan...

At the moment, her body is controlled by someone, probably to restrain Qin Yuechuan.

Wait, for Qin Yuechuan, isn't she the same as Xu Mingxi in her previous life? ?

Imperial City, Northern Frontier, Qinyuechuan.

But the person who was restraining her now changed from Xu Mingxi to her!

She unconsciously recalled his previous life in her dream...

It was as if one had foreseen the tragic ending of the story in advance and suddenly had a glimpse of the entire development trend of events.

Xu Xinyue's heart suddenly shook, and she suddenly felt a great panic.

No, no,!

It's not like this, it shouldn't be like this!

She had tried desperately to change the ending and tried to be different from Xu Mingxi, but now it seems that she has unknowingly become an indispensable part of Qin Yuechuan's fate.

It's not like that!!!

She once tried her best to refute Xu Mingxi's behavior, saying it was despicable and not worthy of sympathy!

But why did the role she was currently playing seem to be almost the same as hers?!

Realizing this, Xu Xinyue became extremely panicked.

The scenery before my eyes was dim and blurred, alternating between dark and blurred.

Her ears were filled with the sound of her own heartbeat, so loud and hollow that she couldn't hear what He Xuehuai said next.

His thoughts were also in a mess, and the tragic scene described by Qin Yuechuan kept replaying in his mind.

My legs felt weak and I resisted the urge to squat down.

He lowered his head, avoiding the gazes of Xu Yuanshan and He Xuehuai, and said in a hoarse voice: "Uncle, Dad, I'm tired, I want to go back to the courtyard to rest for a while."

Without even listening to the two's response, he turned around hastily and stumbled back to Luanfeng Courtyard to sleep.

I stepped over the threshold and locked the door. My body seemed to have lost all support. I slid down to the ground and hugged my knees against the door.

Her brows were furrowed, she was breathing heavily, and she was pulling at the material of her clothes around her chest - it felt very uncomfortable and twisted there.

Why it came out like this?

None of this was her intention.

She doesn't want to! She doesn't want to!

But she was afraid, extremely afraid.

Even when I first realized that my body was invaded by someone else, I was not so frightened.

At first, she thought that Qin Yuechuan would not be implicated for a while since he was in the northern border, but she overlooked that if she was used as bait, Qin Yuechuan might really travel thousands of miles to Kyoto again.

This is what she least wants to see!!

She didn't want to be a knife, let alone a knife that would stab him!

If she were the one who stabbed him in the back after he had already let go of his wounds...

She didn't dare to imagine how heartbreaking it would be to see those eyes, which usually showed a gentle smile, staring at her, filled with sadness and despair.

Thinking of this, Xu Xinyue's eyes became sore and she could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes, which rolled down her cheeks.

I didn't dare cry too loudly, and I had to consider the monitor in my body. I just tried my best to purse my lips and endure the intermittent sobs in my throat.

"No, no..."

Xu Xinyue covered her head, trying to force herself to stop this terrible thought.

Even if she is determined not to be a knife in the hands of others, what should she do if one day she is no longer able to control herself and is still used by the person behind the scenes, forcing her loved ones into despair?

The current situation is even worse. She is not only holding back Qin Yuechuan. I am afraid that after today, there will be another Zhenguogong Mansion...

If in this life, she was the reason why they suffered so much...

If that's the case, Xu Xianyue raised her eyes resolutely with wet eyes:

It would be better to die immediately!

The soul is destroyed and everything is destroyed!

But it was only for a moment, and she thought of her father again.

If something happens to her, what will daddy do?

With his head buried between his arms, his longing for Qin Yuechuan had reached its peak.

She misses him.

Want to see him.

She really wanted to explain to him in person that none of this was her original intention.

The scenes in the dream were like a blunt knife cutting flesh, piece by piece, bloody and spread out in front of her.

A heavy feeling of worry and fear enveloped her completely, gnawing at her bones and soul. She wanted to move away, but found that there was no way to retreat behind her.

In the huge room, she was the only one huddled in a small ball at the door, hugging her shoulders, and shaking uncontrollably.

At this moment, a voice came into my mind again: [What’s wrong with you? Why are you so sad?]

[Aren’t you close to the Xu family? Why are you so heartbroken for them?]

[Also, your uncle is actually Zhenguogong He Xuehuai? How come I have never heard you mention him before?]

Xu Xinyue's voice was hoarse, but she tried to explain to her: "I'm not heartbroken for the Xu family. I'm just scared... When I think about what would happen if we hadn't been expelled from the clan, I'm afraid that what we're in prison today would be..."

[I see. ]

This explanation is reasonable. Xu Xinyue is timid, lonely and cowardly. It is understandable that he would panic when he heard that the entire Xu family was beheaded.

[How come you've never mentioned your uncle?]

Xu Xinyue forced herself to be strong and sobbed, "It seems that you have never asked about it. What's the point of asking this?"

"This uncle is usually very mean to me. I don't dare to speak in front of him..."

The voice was skeptical: [Really? But I see he seems to be very concerned about you.]

"Daddy is here, so we have to give him some face."

After struggling painfully, Xu Xinyue wiped her eyes, quickly calmed down, and said with a thick nasal voice: "Sister, I want to continue practicing."

In any case, the most important thing right now is to regain control of your own body.

Xu Xianyue tightly grasped the jade pendant on her waist, gritted her teeth and swore in her heart:

She absolutely, absolutely does not want to be the second Xu Mingxi!
