Yao Li endured the pain and suddenly cupped his hands.
Xia Lin stood up and slowly held up his hand: "It's over now, why do we need this between you and me."
He stood beside the bed and looked at Yao Li with deep eyes.
Unexpectedly, he has grown so much in just one year. The occurrence of this incident is not a bad thing for him, and it is just a thorn on the road of his growth that will inevitably be stabbed. That’s all.
Yao Li lowered his eyes slightly and said suddenly: "You are right, the outside world is indeed more suitable for me, and I enjoy the things the outside brings to me more. At the same time, this is also my ambition, to get rid of the past and look to the future. !”
Nan Jiang couldn't help but smile with relief, and subconsciously reached out to touch his head like he did when he was a child, hoping that this could heal some of the trauma in his heart.
In this way, the two talked for a long time, and Yaoli was completely relieved of what he had suffered in the past, and his soul was truly liberated. The rare relaxation made him smile that was more than ten years late.
"By the way, don't you have something else to ask me?"
Nan Jiang sat down again with a faint smile. Seeing Yao Li's smile suddenly freeze, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Actually, it's about Lin Xi."
After listening to Mingruo's narration, Yaoli knew that Brother Xia Lin definitely didn't want others to mention this name in front of him. However, Yaoli, who had always been persistent in exploring the truth, decided to ask about it before leaving. .
"Mingruo told you everything?"
Although Nan Jiang's expression was a little gloomy, his reaction was much calmer than Yaoli had imagined.
"No, no, no, it's not, I just uh." Yaoli suddenly became careless with his words. He promised Mingruo that he would never let Brother Xia Lin know that he was the one who told him.
"It doesn't matter. Not long after you left, Zhuo Yao found out that Lin Xi was a spy. With the evidence of guilt, I killed her myself."
"It was General Xi who found out?"
Xia Lin nodded calmly: "Actually, I have discovered the clues a long time ago, but I have never exposed her."
Yao Li tilted his chin. It seemed that he had good taste. From the first time he met Lin Xi, he had always disliked her. In short, he didn't like her everywhere. He didn't expect that she was actually the sinister person Lin Kong. Sent!
After the evidence was conclusive and her true identity was exposed that day, she also told the whole story.
At first, she was ordered by Lin Kong to lurk in Yunfu City. After secretly inquiring, she learned that Xia Lin would be visiting a poor village recently, so she calculated the time of her appearance and deliberately pretended that she was being persecuted by a group of bandits. The sight of the chase.
Later, he followed her wishes and was rescued by Xia Lin, so he pretended to be a pitiful and homeless weak woman to ask Xia Lin to take her in and be willing to be his maid serving tea and water.
It's just that the mansion clearly stipulates that female family members are not allowed to enter, not even the family members of the people in the mansion, and Xia Lin, who has always abided by discipline, is even less likely to agree.
However, Lin Xi did not accept this trick at all. She would follow Xia Lin wherever he went. Until later, she suddenly encountered a man in black who was trying to assassinate Xia Lin, and she used this to block the attack for him.
But this man in black was actually sent by Lin Xi to make Tangtang Nan of Yunfu City be soft-hearted towards a woman.
After Xia Lin chopped the man in black to death with one palm, he returned to Nanjiang with Lin Xi, who only had some flesh wounds. This was the first time that he broke the rules he had made himself.
After Lin Xi recovered from her injury, Xia Lin originally planned to give her some money to live her life with, but she refused to leave and insisted on staying with Xia Lin.
She had no choice but to let her recover from her injuries before finding a place to send her away, so during that period, she always tried her best to prepare various cakes to please him.
For Xia Lin, whose parents died when he was young, this was also the first time he felt the care and concern of others, so even his coldest heart should always be covered by her.
As the days passed, he complied with Lin Xi's wishes and never asked her to leave again, and she was naturally able to get close to him, understand his preferences, and then look for opportunities to make a move.
But she found that she had slowly developed extraordinary feelings for Xia Lin, and she began to refuse Lin Kong's instructions in every possible way. Finally, she realized that she had fallen in love with Xia Lin.
Although Xia Lin didn't express his feelings, the senior brothers in the mansion had already agreed that she was their master's wife. On weekdays, when General Nan was away, they would jokingly call her their master's wife.
But in the end she had to accept the task, but accidentally killed a disciple in the mansion.
So this matter gradually had repercussions. When she went out to meet Lin Kong, she happened to be bumped into by Nishi General's men. This matter reached his ears, but he did not directly go to Nanjiang to explain. everything.
Instead, she chose to secretly search for all the information about Lin Xi. The final investigation results came out and it turned out that her name was not Lin Xi, but Yan Mingzhi!
Later, it was investigated that although there was a person named Lin Xi in Yunfu City, he had died of illness half a year ago. He also heard that a disciple had died for no reason in front of the Nanjiang Mansion. The combination of these two things made Zhuo Yao deeply suspect that she was responsible. !
So immediately, he took the investigation evidence to Nanjiang Mansion to identify her face to face. At first, she pretended to be calm and confessed. It was not until Xia Lin directly pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at her that he saw her complete Terrified.
This scene made Xia Lin unforgettable for the rest of his life. He pointed his cold eyes at Lin Xi with his sword, and saw the disbelief, shock and loss on her face.
This sudden change of emotions made Xia Lin experience heartache for the first time. As early as when he rescued her, everything was such a coincidence. He had already suspected her and secretly investigated her.
However, no clues could be found. Later, Xia Lin gradually lost himself in her meticulous relationship. He thought that maybe he was paranoid. It was not until he saw the evidence of General Xi's investigation that he finally realized that all this It's all fake!
In fact, he suffered the first deception in his life, and this scam also allowed him to recover for a long time. It was not until he saw Lin Xi telling him all this with red eyes that he finally recognized the reality. .
Yaoli saw Xia Lin's face gradually darkening, probably because his words reminded him of killing his beloved with his own hands.
"Actually, at that time." Xia Lin suddenly spoke, and the scene at that time was described to him.
After hearing this, Yao Li couldn't help but be a little surprised: "So you have never been together?"
"She did approach me with purpose in the beginning. Later, when we got along outside, we did develop feelings for each other."
Xia Lin couldn't help sighing: "She was very brave and quickly expressed her feelings to me. But what she didn't know was that I also had feelings for her that I shouldn't have. She was even afraid of disturbing me and frankly told me not to Keep this in mind.”
