The plum wine tasted very good, so Ling Jinglan didn't drink much. However, Jiang Lingxue drank the whole pot of wine and felt dizzy.

"Jin Zhao, I was worried about you being in Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but now that you're out, I'm relieved." Jiang Lingxue lay on the table, "You're luckier than your senior sister. At the beginning, I told her not to go back, not to go back, that it was a trap, but she insisted on going back."

Two lines of tears rolled down Jiang Lingxue's eyes, and he fell headfirst to the ground. Xie Jinzhao quickly supported him, and he lay down on the table again.

"I don't blame anyone. If it were me, I would go back too." Jiang Lingxue laughed again, but this laugh was uglier than crying. "Jinzhao, you are also a member of the Xie family, but you didn't grow up in the Xie family. These things have nothing to do with you. You have to listen to your master and your senior brother. Don't go."

There was no beginning or end, but Xie Jinzhao understood it.

Senior sister is also a member of the Xie family.

The first thing she did after she came down the mountain after completing her studies was to seek revenge, but she ended up being cannon fodder.

Before she died, she begged her master not to tell Xie Jinzhao her identity, and not to let her take the path of revenge. She said that she could avenge the Xie family with her own life.

The people and history will remember the loyalty and bravery of the Xie family, but in fact, many people have forgotten it, and she has hardly ever heard anyone mention it in her previous life.

"Let me take your brother back to the guest room to rest!"

Ling Jinglan helped Jiang Lingxue up, and Xie Jinzhao walked in front holding a lantern. Jiang Lingxue was still mumbling, "In the past, she also liked to make wine. She said that the old lady of the Xie family said that there was a winery at home and she planned to give it to her as a dowry. She said that I don't need to buy wine from outside in the future. I can just drink up the wine in my own winery if I have the ability."

Along the way, Jiang Lingxue was muttering to herself. Ling Jinglan and Xie Jinzhao didn't say anything. When they arrived at the guest room, they threw Jiang Lingxue onto the bed. Ling Jinglan breathed a sigh of relief.

After covering Jiang Lingxue with a quilt, the two left the guest room.

On the way back, Ling Jinglan took the lantern from Xie Jinzhao's hand, held it, and lighted the way in front of her, but she did not return to the West Flower Hall, but walked towards the back garden.

"In fact, Senior Brother only liked wine tasting before, but he was not addicted to alcohol." Xie Jinzhao felt depressed and spoke in a heavy tone, "After Senior Sister passed away, he continued to drink. He never drank like this in front of me before."

As he spoke, Xie Jinzhao's tears rolled down.

Ling Jinglan stopped, and Xie Jinzhao also stopped moving. She turned around, faced the lake, pursed her lips, and swallowed back her tears.

"Jin Zhao, you don't have to restrain yourself in front of me. You can do whatever you want." Ling Jinglan raised his hand and wiped the tears on her cheek with his thumb. "He should be very happy today. He has been worried about you in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion."

"I know!" Xie Jinzhao choked up, "Now you can tell me what you found out about the Xie family."

Ling Jinglan was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure you want to listen?"

"Yeah." Xie Jinzhao's eyes were moist. The night wind blew up her skirt, making her look thin. She had a stubbornness in her bones that could not be ignored. "I have the blood of the Xie family flowing in my body. The emperor of Southern Chen and my Xie family have a blood feud. The entire Xie family was wiped out. As a descendant of the Xie family, should I turn a blind eye?"

Ling Jinglan put his hand on Xie Jinzhao's shoulder, "Your senior sister doesn't want you to go down this path."

"I know myself well!" Xie Jinzhao met Ling Jinglan's eyes. The lantern couldn't illuminate his eyes, but there was still light in his peach blossom eyes, and her reflection was enveloped by that light, so bright. "If I wasn't a descendant of the Xie family, Master wouldn't have accepted me as his disciple, and Senior Sister wouldn't have passed on the Overlord Spear to me."

Why should the Xie family's Overlord Spear be passed into her hands!

In her previous life, she never understood the truth until her death.

"Jin Zhao, I don't want you to take risks!" Ling Jinglan gently stroked her shoulder with his fingertips, "But I can't stop you from taking revenge for this blood feud. I know that if you're not doing it for the Xie family, you're doing it for your senior sister."

"I can't just watch my brother go down this path alone."

Xie Jinzhao's nose felt sore, and he couldn't hold back his tears any longer. "You saw it today, too. He didn't come here because he was worried that I wouldn't have a good life in Duke Dingguo's Mansion. He came to see me for the last time. He was going to avenge Senior Sister. How could I watch him do such a dangerous thing alone!"

In this world, her senior brother is her only relative.

In the previous life, senior brother did not come to see her. Perhaps at that time, Lu Changyuan did not marry Dou Miaojin as his concubine, so senior brother had nothing to worry about.

Later, he died in Southern Chen.

Ling Jinglan also found out later that Xie Jinzhao was raised by her senior brother with great care. From the wet nurse and personal maids around her to the maids who swept the yard, all were arranged by Jiang Lingxue.

When she was young, Jiang Lingxue even sneaked into the Dou family and worked as her groom for many years.

He held the back of Xie Jinzhao's head with his hand, pulled her into his arms, and let her lean on his shoulder, "If you want revenge, count me in! The Xie family opened up the territory for Southern Chen and shed their blood all over the territory;

At the age of 14, Empress Xie disguised herself as a man and went to the battlefield. She fought bloody battles for the Southern Chen Dynasty and helped Xiao Shengyuan ascend the throne. In the end, her entire family was executed and she was shot to death by Xiao Shengyuan on charges of treason. There must be someone to seek justice for the injustices in this world. "

Xie Jinzhao stopped crying and looked up. Under the moonlight, the green-faced, fang-toothed mask on his face was shining. The moonlight had coated it with a layer of silver. The light was flowing, and his peach blossom eyes were charming and attractive.

He made the life-threatening situation sound so romantic.

Xie Jinzhao was also impressed, "You plan to bet on Feng Ye Ting Hai? Didn't you say that you only wanted to be a wandering wanderer in your life?"

She took a few steps back and looked Ling Jinglan up and down. She felt that this person was no different from usual. If there was one difference, it was that he was dressed a little more showy today. He was wearing a white dress with intricate silver patterns, which looked low-key yet luxurious.

She touched her face and exclaimed, "You saw my face, were attracted by my beauty, and impulsively wanted to bet your life and property on it, right?"

Ling Jinglan heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face. He clenched his fists, placed them on his nose and mouth, and chuckled, "You can think so, but your beauty is not enough to make me do this."

"You don't admit it?" Xie Jinzhao raised his little fist, looking as if he didn't believe his nonsense at all.

Ling Jinglan held her wrist and said, "In fact, if I am tempted by beauty, I can just look at myself in the mirror every day."

"Narcissistic!" Xie Jinzhao stretched out her hand to grab the mask on his face, but Ling Jinglan held her wrist tightly, "Want to see it? There are conditions."

"You said before that you would show me after I left Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Are you going back on your word now? Ling Jinglan, if a man doesn't keep his word, he will be single for the rest of his life..."

Ling Jinglan did not stop him, as Xie Jinzhao had already pinched his mask.

Luoxia came over in a hurry, "Miss, Duke Dingguo has barged in, and we can't stop him."
