I can tell fortunes, so I’m not easy to mess with [Cross Book]

The emperor's will in the palace is only dictated, and the people in the palace are nothing more than that. As for the disposal of the courtiers' families, they need to be drafted and arranged to be issued before they can be officially implemented.Therefore, after leaving the palace, Xie Fan can still temporarily return to his home to live for a few days, and wait for the official place of exile to come out before dealing with it.

He never dreamed that he would be reduced to where he is today. His legs were weak when he went out, and he was almost forced back home by Xie Xi.

Fu Min was running around in a hurry at home. She knew that her son must have caused a catastrophe, but she couldn't imagine what would happen. The men entered the palace, and no one sent her a letter, so Fu Min could only act anxiously. .

Jiang Xiu saw that the master was so disturbed, so she could only follow along and explain: "Madam, don't worry, the third son is just a naughty child and has no evil intentions. He will be fine."

Fu Min didn't answer, maybe you can comfort yourself like this at home, but now you are facing the emperor, the emperor may care if you have bad intentions, are you really in collusion with a cult?What the emperor sees is what you have done!

Now she began to regret that she was too pampered to her youngest son. At that time, she just thought that he would come out of the Hou's mansion, so he would not dare to offend anyone easily, and since he was the youngest son, he didn't need to be a prince, even if he was a little arrogant, it didn't matter.She has worked hard by herself, and she has exhausted all the organs, and she doesn't want her children to be so tired.

But who would have imagined that Xie Fan would bring the disaster to this point, no one could help it now, Fu Min walked a few steps in the main hall irritably, and told Jiang Xiu, "I want to wash my hands and burn incense."

Jiang Xiu served her to the Buddhist hall, and Fu Min sincerely offered incense to the Buddha, and prayed in a low voice: "May the Buddha bless the children of believers to survive this calamity safely, believers must cultivate Buddhist halls extensively, accumulate virtue and do good ..."

When she was talking here, she suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Master Hou, Second Young Master, and Third Young Master are back!"

Fu Min was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed out of the Buddhist hall to meet him, but saw that the faces of the father and son were very ugly, and he didn't know what happened.

She was already flustered, but now she became even more anxious, and said cautiously: "You are back. How did it turn out? Are you all right?"

The last sentence of "Are you okay?" was quite lacking in confidence, and Xie Fan was crying immediately.He knelt down on the ground with a plop, and roared heart-piercingly, "Mother, my son has been exiled!"

Fu Min only felt that his eyes were darkened, and he almost couldn't stand up. He murmured, "Exile, what do you mean? Aren't you still standing here?"

Seeing her staggering, Jiang Xiu quickly suppressed her shock and helped Fu Min to sit down.Xie Fan knelt beside her, and while talking about the matter, he begged: "Mother, help me find a way. If you go to that kind of place, you will die! My son still wants to be filial by your side, and my son doesn't want to die." ah!"

Fu Min pressed her hands on her chest, feeling like she was going to be out of breath, tears welled up in her eyes almost at that moment, she asked her husband in a trembling voice: "Is what Fan Er said true? You...you and Xi'er, why didn't you ask the emperor for mercy! We can't put the child in that kind of place, it's a barren place, he can't bear the pain!"

It's still my mother who loves me, my father and brother are so cold!At that time, their silent attitude in the hall made Xie Fan suffocate. Hearing what Fu Min said now, he was even more aggrieved, and said angrily: "They don't care about me at all, they didn't say a word !"

"Shut up and shut up!"

Xie Xi scolded his younger brother irritably before Xie Taifei, his brows also had a look of depression, no matter what, Xie Fan is his biological brother after all, if something like this happened in the family, Xie Xi would be the least affected People still have to worry.

His throat was on fire, he lifted the teapot to his mouth and took a few sips of the herbal tea in it, and then explained to his mother: "At that time, the emperor was in a fit of anger, and he said the will directly, and then everyone dispersed. No chance to intercede. Not to mention—”

Xie Xi hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Besides, you have been convicted of father and mother, so it is really hard to speak."

Fu Min was only worried about Xie Fan from the beginning to the end. He never thought that he had his own share in this matter, and asked in surprise, "Why?"

Xie Taifei shook his head wearily, and Xie Xi told the whole story.

Although he didn't talk much, he tried his best to speak concisely, but Fu Min was still dumbfounded, feeling his whole heart sank, and his blood was cold.

Everything Xie Xi said was a fatal blow to Fu Min. His words were like sharp knives, stabbing Fu Min's chest every time.Her temples were throbbing, her head was about to explode, and she didn't know what to ask first.

Xie Xi: "Mother, are you okay? Jiang Xiu, go and pour some hot soup!"

He brought the hot soup, and he handed it to Fu Min with his own hands, but Fu Min didn't drink it, put the soup aside, and held his son's hand tightly, his voice was full of bitterness: "You, you said... the emperor put the son's hand in his hands, and he said... The position is given to... Bai Yiling? The real power of our Marquis Mansion is also given to him?"

This was the first time she called her eldest son by his full name in front of her family. Xie Xi was upset and didn't hear anything. She continued to say, "Yeah. Fortunately, it's not a title. It's not a punishment. It's just father's The real job and the mother's order..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Fu Min squeezed Xie Xi's hand tightly, and said sharply, "How could it be him?! Then you won't be able to be the prince!"

Xie Xi was taken aback by her reaction, and was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

It's gone, now there's really nothing left, the agency's calculations are in vain, could it be that she has worked so hard to manage a business, and the Hou's Mansion will eventually fall into Bai Yiling's hands?

This, this is too ridiculous, right?

Xie Xi tentatively asked: "You... do you think we have a bad relationship with Bai Yiling and are you worried about his revenge? You don't have to be afraid of that, and me, no matter how vicious he is, he has to take care of everyone. It's impossible to do it openly. And I actually don't think he's what you say..."

Fu Min said wearily: "He's the kind of person who grew up in that kind of place. He kills people without blinking an eye, and even his relatives don't recognize him. You silly boy...forget it."

She couldn't tell Xie Xishen either.It was disgraceful to use Bai Yiling to change medicine at the beginning. The Xie family kept secretive. Bai Yiling himself is not a person who likes to talk about his difficulties and sympathize with him, so there are not many people who know about it. The inside story, after the system opened the "Character Depth" expansion, he happened to learn about it in the discussion between two NPCs.

Xie Xi and Xie Fan had always listened to their parents, thinking that Bai Yiling's sending out was as simple as Xie Xi's enlistment in the army, and it was just an arrangement of the family. It was just that Bai Yiling had a stubborn personality and was young when he went out. This led to the division of the family.

But this kind of thinking was instilled inadvertently during ordinary chatting. If he hadn't been hit too hard, Fu Min wouldn't lose his composure to this point at the moment.

Xie Xi began to feel that his mother's attitude was a little strange. Although she usually didn't like to listen to Bai Yiling's affairs, every time she mentioned it, her tone was often motherly. I don't know if I am thinking too much.

The Marquis of Yongding was passed down from generation to generation. After all, it is better for the eldest son to let Bai Yiling inherit it than to be deprived of the title.

Without allowing him to ponder any further, Fu Min asked again at this time: "The Sheng family...didn't they take revenge on that Korean teacher?"

Xie Xi was surprised by her question: "The emperor has dealt with him, gouged out his eyes, pierced his ears, picked off his tendons and tendons, and so on. It's just that people can't live or die. It's all like this, and the Sheng family has nothing to do. Forget it... No, it should be said that they facilitated this matter, and at that time in the palace they tried their best to expose the scandal of that liar, and Lord Zhen Guo had already done it directly."

Fu Min's face was a little pale, and he said in a low voice: "At any rate, it's all a thing of the past, and their enmity will be avenged, it's God's will..."

Xie Fan heard what they were talking about but couldn't get the point right. He was already in a hurry. He shook Fu Min's leg vigorously and said, "Mother, what time is it and you are still asking those useless questions! What about me? How can I?" manage!"

Fu Min's heart was in a mess, and he forced himself to calm down, and said, "There is no other way now, I can only ask Xia'er for help."

At this time, her tone seemed to be back to normal, Xie Xi frowned and said: "How to find it? He handled this case himself. Once he saw that our family's nose is not a nose, and our eyes are not eyes, I am not willing to ask him .”

Fu Min said: "Are you going to watch your own brother go into exile? The journey is such a long way, any dangers are possible, and the miasma poison in the south is very strong, he will die if he goes there!"

Xie Fan's face was full of despair, and Xie Xi couldn't bear it anymore, hesitatingly asked: "Is his words useful?"

Fu Min thought of the humiliation he had received a few days ago, and almost wanted to sneer: "Don't worry, your eldest brother has a good relationship with Duke Huai, as long as he can let Duke Huai go to intercede with the emperor, Fan Er won't have to leave—or just It’s okay to change the place of exile.”

Xie Xi hesitated, at this moment, Xie Taifei suddenly stood up sullenly.

Ever since he came back, he has kept a gloomy face and never said a single word. Fu Min knows that her husband has always valued the real power in his hands, and he also wants to save face. This time, he must be extremely uncomfortable to be punished in full view. She should Timely comfort is.

It's just that recently the husband and wife have been arguing repeatedly, and each of them is still a little awkward. In addition, Xie Fan's matter is the most important thing at this moment, and she doesn't care about it for a while.

Seeing Xie Taifei standing up, Fu Min quickly said: "Husband, I know you will feel uncomfortable, but the matter has come to an end, as long as everyone is still there, our Hou Mansion will always have a chance to slowly make a comeback... Fan Er For the matter, can you also find someone to take care of it..."

Xie Taifei only felt that there was a fire burning in his heart. On the one hand, he didn't feel sorry for his son, but on the other hand, for Xie Taifei who was born in the army, he didn't think of exile as women imagined. Terrible—just go a little farther, work harder, a man is not missing arms or legs than others, how can he still die outside?

What's more, Xie Fan caused such a big disaster, the whole family followed him to die!Shouldn't they be punished?If you continue to get used to him, I'm afraid the family will be exterminated next time!

He thought about his many years of painstaking efforts, and the pitiful eyes of his colleagues at that time. He didn't know where to put his face. He held his breath and wanted to yell, but seeing his wife's pale face, he finally let his voice down softly. After a while, he said in a low voice: "The holy will is hard to violate, so you don't have to worry about this matter anymore. When the official order comes down, I will arrange some escorts and let them take care of them on the way, so that Fan'er will not suffer. yes."

When Xie Fan heard this, he walked up to Xie Taifei and begged, "Father! Those people are obedient to others, so you can help your son. My son doesn't want to be exiled. My son really can't bear it! Let the second brother go and talk to Bai... ...Go and tell Eldest Brother, as long as His Highness Duke Huai is willing to intercede, the Emperor will definitely agree!"

Xie Taifei said without thinking: "No, you can't drag your elder brother into trouble because of this!"

Fu Min originally wanted to beg him nicely, but when he heard Xie Taifei's words, he was immediately taken aback, and said in disbelief, "What does this mean?"

Xie Taifei said patiently: "Now that our family has encountered such a thing, there is no need to think about anything else. The only thing that can be guaranteed is that as long as Xia'er can successfully inherit the title, the title of the Yongding Hou Mansion will be preserved. So no matter what, no matter what happens, he can't be implicated anymore. Now, he is everyone's only hope, understand?"

Fu Min really didn't understand, she couldn't believe her ears, why did things turn out like this?After all, the entire Hou Mansion became his Bai Yiling's in a blink of an eye, and everyone had to be cautious in their words and deeds in order to protect him, because he was the only hope for the Hou Mansion to retain the title?

What a joke!

Fu Min tried to calm himself down, and said to Xie Taifei in a soothing tone: "I understand what you mean, but Fan'er is also your flesh and blood, you have to feel sorry for him, we must find a way. Xia'er was originally loved by the emperor." Heavy, and Duke Huai cares about him very much, really cares about him, as long as he is asked to speak to Duke Huai..."

In the past, my wife was gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and interesting, and never made excessive demands, but when it came to children, it was like a magic barrier, it didn't make sense at all!

Xie Taifei couldn't bear it anymore, he suddenly slapped the table beside him, and said angrily: "Do you really understand that he deserved what he deserved, what can we ask for mercy? Now that the Hou's mansion has not been confiscated, our whole family has been driven to Go up the street, the emperor's grace is already mighty! What else do you want?"

He couldn't help but uttered the thought that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Xia'er was sent out of the mansion when she was a child, and we never disciplined her, but Xie Fan grew up in the Hou's mansion and didn't lose anything. He, in the end, look, he can't even compare to his big brother's little finger, and even brought the whole family into bad luck with him! Isn't this his own fault?"

Xie Fan was completely dumbfounded. He looked at Xie Taifei with his mouth half open, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, what do you mean, I deserve it? It's because you don't want to hurt Bai Yiling. ...Exile well?"

Xie Taifei was silent for a moment, but he didn't deny his son's words, and said lightly: "Look at Mr. Han, one moment the national teacher, the next moment hell, why is that? Because he harmed other people's children, and he was punished for not doing good deeds." ! It can be seen that God has two eyes, and he is always staring at the people below!"

He just said these words unintentionally, but it made Fu Min feel as if she had received an electric shock. Her mind was buzzing, and all kinds of voices were noisy. The only sentence left was Xie Taifei's— ——"Because he harmed other people's children, he will be punished for not doing good deeds"!

Fear surged in her heart. She didn't know what the father and son said afterward. She stood up from the chair in a trance and went back to the Buddhist hall behind. Seeing the incense she had inserted in the incense burner just now, Fu Min suddenly felt Extremely scared.

She knelt on the futon, clasped her hands together, and prayed in a low voice: "Buddha, please forgive me, please don't embarrass my child, he is still young and ignorant, and I will teach him well in the future. ,I……"

As Fu Min talked, he didn't know if it gradually turned into a soliloquy: "I didn't mean to treat Bai Yiling badly. At that time, I had been married for several years, and the old lady pressed me hard. I finally got pregnant, but I died at birth, I have no choice, I just want to find a suitable baby boy to raise, I, I never thought that the baby I brought would be that woman's baby! I can't bear to raise a baby for her!"

"But now..." She was on the verge of weeping, her heart was pierced, "Her child has grown up, and my son is worthless compared to him, and he still wants to inherit the title of the Marquis Mansion! How ridiculous... he It's not Xie, why, why..."

All of this really seems to be God's will in the dark. Thinking about how hard she has calculated for so many years, she got the result in front of her eyes. She once thought she had won, but at this moment, she was still completely defeated, and there was nothing left. Down!

Fu Min's chest was so stuffy and aching that he was in a trance.

But at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up outside, and a small crack was blown out of the open window, and two of the three sticks of incense in front of the Buddha extinguished, emitting wisps of smoke.

Fu Min was startled, and hastily pulled out the two burnt incense sticks from the incense burner, begging for mercy repeatedly: "Buddha forgives sins, Buddha forgives sins, believers know their mistakes. Please bless my brother to come back soon, save me My son! Xinnv really knows her mistake!"

Not only her, but the atmosphere in the entire Yongding Hou Mansion was not good. Xie Taifei felt a little regretful when he saw Fu Min walking away silently, and followed a few steps behind, but after thinking about it, he felt that the two of them could not go together. Even if he followed, it was still an argument, he sighed, and turned around to leave the front hall.

Only Xie Fan and Xie Xi were left in the whole hall. One of the two brothers was kneeling on the ground and the other was standing by the window, neither of them spoke.

After a while, Xie Fan suddenly sneered.

Xie Xi folded his arms and looked out the window, not knowing what he was thinking, when he heard his laugh, he said coldly, "Crazy?"

Xie Fan stood up from the ground, patted the wrinkled clothes on his knees, and said coldly: "I can see through them now. What kind of parents are these? Selfish, only caring about themselves, in their eyes, everything is better It's important not to show face, if a son can't win glory, he deserves to die."

Xie Xi frowned and said: "You yourself have caused such a big disaster, it's a good thing if you don't get killed, and you still blame others for not saving you?"

Xie Fan sneered and said: "Think about Bai Yiling, he was also born by his parents, he was sent away when he was three years old, and he left as soon as he left. In the first few years when he didn't have a job, did anyone mention him at home?" ? No. Later he became an official, he was promising, and he asked him for something, and my father began to think about it again. After this experience, I finally understand."

Xie Xi looked at his younger brother with a bit of astonishment, he didn't expect Xie Fan to say such a thing, but for a while, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be irrefutable for his parents.

Xie Fan hadn't finished yet: "Now it's finally my turn. Once I leave, I probably won't be able to come back in this life, let alone get ahead. They will have to forget me in two years. Hmph , Second Brother, it will be your turn next, so please yourself!"

He laughed sternly twice, and walked away.

Xie Xi only felt extremely disturbed. On the one hand, he secretly spurned his younger brother as an asshole, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but feel that what he said was not without some truth.

Xie Xi didn't think that his parents were sorry for himself and Xie Fan. Xie Fan was all done by him, but even if he didn't want to see Bai Yiling, he had to admit that his parents' attitude towards the eldest son was really cold, even Xie Taifei , what they keep saying is true, because Bai Yiling is useful and is the hope of the Houfu, so he cannot be dragged down.

So myself and Xie Fan... What are they really worth in the hearts of their parents?

There are some things that cannot be thought deeply about, and you will feel chilled if you think deeply about them. Xie Xi feels that his parents have always treated him very well. As he grows up, he gradually feels that the resolute Xie Taifei and the gentle Fu Min are not as perfect as he looked up to when he was a child.

Xie Xi stared at the outside in a daze. At this time, the spring breeze still had the feeling of not leaving with the winter, and the trees outside swayed like ghosts, and the moon in the sky was pale like the face of a dead person.

Everything is so gloomy and dark.

Although he had been in the palace for a long time and was exhausted all over, he suddenly didn't want to stay at home, so he stood up abruptly and left Yongdinghou's mansion with big strides.

Xie Xi didn't ride a horse either. He walked around the street a few times by himself. He hesitated in his heart. Thinking of Xie Fan's appearance, he wanted to go to Bai Yiling and ask him if there was anything he could do. It was too shameless for him to act in front of others, and he really couldn't get rid of that embarrassment, so he still didn't go.

Jin country is prosperous, and the evening in Kyoto is still full of people coming and going, very lively.Crowds of cars and horses were coming and going on the road, and the women returning from the spring were whispering and laughing, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.The peddler's hawking brings a worldly warmth of fireworks and mortals.

Xie Xi walked among the crowd for a while, his personality was a little impatient, he didn't like the feeling of being pushed around, but now he felt a little more at ease in his heart, so he simply picked the brightest and most lively place and walked , As a result, when they arrived at the door, they were greeted by two beautiful women, only to find that there was a very famous brothel in Kyoto——Yuexia Pavilion.
