Upon hearing this, Wu Zechen's eyes brightened slightly, and he looked at Xia Luotong seriously and said, "Is the old housekeeper's son still alive? Maybe we can find some clues about your life experience from him."
Xia Luotong said helplessly: "I don't know. I was still in my infancy at the time, so it was impossible to remember. By the time I could remember things, the nanny was already half crazy and half awake. There was nothing about the old housekeeper's son. They have talked about what happened to him later, but I have never seen him. I am afraid he also died at the hands of Li."
Wu Zechen thought about the investigation during this period. Li Shi almost silenced the former masters and servants of the Sun Mansion. Even the wet nurse who lived for a few more years and the one who is still alive today Both Xia Luotong and Li Shi were chronically poisoned.
Thinking about it this way, the old housekeeper's son may also be in bad luck.
But Wu Zechen didn't want to give up, because he knew that Xia Luotong didn't want to give up either: "Has the wet nurse ever said something about the old housekeeper's son?"
He thought for a while, as long as there were some clues, he could pursue it further, so he continued to ask.
"I mentioned it a little bit, but the wet nurse didn't know much about the old housekeeper's son." Xia Luotong recalled carefully, "The old housekeeper's son was only a few years younger than Sun Wei, because he had been with Sun Wei when he was young. Wei was by his side, so he gained Sun Wei's trust. Later, Sun Wei settled in Anyuan Town, and handed over the running business to the son of the old housekeeper. He led the caravan around, and was away from the house all year round, so Only wet nurses don’t know much about him.”
Wu Zechen stared at Xia Luotong and said, "If he has been running business outside all year round, he will most likely have escaped the disaster that happened to the Sun family. I will try to see if I can investigate from this aspect."
"It's just that the old housekeeper's son is not young now. Even if he escaped from Li's murderous hand, he may not still be alive today." Xia Luotong was helpless and angry. He didn't expect that Li's blood was so clean. , I’m afraid Xia Zhihe and Master Li’s work is indispensable behind this.
It is not surprising that these two people helped Li wipe his ass. After all, all the incidents that year were too shameful. They were officials in the government, so they naturally did not want this matter to be exposed.
"No matter what, let's try to find it anyway." Wu Zechen looked at her and nodded firmly. Xia Luotong said nothing more, because she really wanted to know her life experience.
After finally sorting out such a clue that could barely be regarded as a clue, the two of them lost interest in staying at Sun's house.
Wu Zechen looked at the indifferent expressions of the people on the side and suddenly said: "If you don't want to live in Sun's house, how about staying at the palace in the palace at night?"
Xia Luotong was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Wu Zechen to suddenly make such a suggestion: "Do you have Zhuangzi nearby?"
"There is a place that is not too far away and can be reached before dark." Wu Zechen nodded.
"Okay, let's go there." After hearing this, Xia Luotong immediately agreed.
She didn't expect that Wu Zechen was so careful that he could even tell that she didn't like Sun Zhai. In fact, it was mainly because of the instinctive rejection of this body. After all, she had suffered so much and suffered so much here since she was a child.
After making up their minds, the two of them left Sun's house directly, got on the carriage again and left Anyuan Town, driving to Zhuangzi, which was not far from Anyuan Town.
After dinner, it was already dark. At Wu Zechen's suggestion, Xia Luotong and he took some wine and went up to the roof of the main house. They sat on the roof and looked at the stars and the endless fields, drinking and chatting. sky.
This feeling is really special. It seems that my mood has become much more relaxed. With the wine to warm up and the thick fox fur wrap, Xia Luotong doesn't feel cold at all.
The two chatted deeper and deeper until Wu Zechen mentioned Prince Xian'an and the late Princess Xian'an who had been deceased for many years.
"...At that time, half of the Western Army was in the hands of my father, and the other half was in the hands of my maternal grandfather's family. Although the two families were tied together due to marriage, my father and mother were not Sincerely in love with each other, except for the concubine Xu Side who was forcibly given to the palace, the father has never had any woman other than his mother's concubine. It is precisely because of this that the entire Western Army is particularly strong, unlike other armies. There was infighting.”
Xia Luotong was listening to Wu Zechen's story when he saw the man suddenly looked at him meaningfully, as if he meant something.
She understood immediately, but she couldn't help but laugh in her heart. This man even emphasized this matter, was he afraid that she wouldn't know that his devotion was a family inheritance? Or is he hinting to himself that he is also such a dedicated person?
I have to say that she felt very sweet in her heart when she saw Wu Zechen expressing his feelings so anxiously.
Listen to him continue: "But it is precisely because of this that my father and my grandfather's family are jealous. This is the reason why Dowager Xu Side was given. But even if my father was forced to accept Dowager Xu Side, But I still couldn’t reassure the emperor, so later on I was poisoned.”
When he mentioned it again at this time, Wu Zechen's face became much calmer: "If Prince An's palace is gone, then everything will not be a problem. Sooner or later, my father's military power will be returned to the emperor's hands, but the military power of my grandfather's family will be returned to the emperor sooner or later. But it cannot be taken back for this reason, because my grandfather’s family is flourishing and there is no need to worry about no one inheriting it.”
At this point, Wu Zechen's voice suddenly turned colder, and the hatred in it was not concealed at all: "When I was eight years old, my mother went back to her parents' home to visit her parents, but she never came back."
Xia Luotong noticed Wu Zechen's mood swings, and his heart skipped a beat, knowing that something might have happened to the princess at that time.
really……
Just listen to Wu Zechen continue: "After my mother-in-law returned to my grandfather's house, a riot suddenly broke out there. It was said that there was a rebellion from the previous dynasty, but within two days it was reported that my grandfather's family was wiped out. information!"
"Among them is my mother-in-law!"
Xia Luotong looked at Wu Zechen's suddenly red eyes. His usual cold and indifferent expression was no longer there, replaced by strong hatred!
This was the first time she had seen him like this. Seeing that his whole body was wrapped in mourning, she couldn't help but feel distressed.
I didn't expect that he would have such a past, let alone that such a thing would happen in Prince An's Mansion back then.
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to hold Wu Zechen's, and her small palm wrapped his big palm. The palm was not very warm, but Wu Zechen felt that his originally cold heart seemed to have regained its warmth.
I don't know when, she seemed to have become the only source of heat in his life, gradually lighting up his originally dim world, making him unable to help but move closer to her step by step, wrapping around her and absorbing her warmth. .
And he did the same, half-hugging Xia Luotong into his arms before he continued.
