"Our surname is not Xu, but Duanmu!"
Xu Xiaoyu said it very solemnly, without any hint of joking, but Xu Suye always didn't believe it. He thought that this might be some kind of test that his uncle had given him.
When he was thinking about how to answer this question, Xu Xiaoyu spoke first: "Our ancestral surname is Duanmu, the royal surname of Jue Kingdom. Suye, our surname is not Xu, our surname is Duanmu!"
The Duanmu family is a royal family, and for five or six hundred years, they have almost only intermarryed with the Mu family.
There are only a few thousand people with the surname Duanmu in the whole world, and without exception, they all have the blood of the royal family of Jue Kingdom.
This is a surname with extraordinary significance. Xu Jinye never thought that he would be related to it.
If he really thought about it, one day he could lead his art and join the army, lead troops in the southern expedition to conquer the territory of Jue Kingdom for Dahua, make some unparalleled achievements, and leave his name in history.
Although the Xu family has not received any title from the imperial court, it is actually considered the overlord of the party. If they are willing to show their loyalty to the Xia family, they will receive high-ranking officials and titles. Xu Jinye thought more than once: The country is so powerful. If the Xu family showed their sincerity at the right time, they would be put in high regard by the court. By then, he would be able to rein in his horse and join the army, galloping on the battlefield, and live up to his martial arts skills.
He told his uncle and father what he thought, but received sarcastic remarks from them.
For twenty-seven years, he has been proud of his surname Xu, and he also thinks that one day people with this surname will be proud of him!
"Our surname is Duanmu, and the Xu family is a branch of the royal family of Jue Kingdom in Dahua. The Xu family and the An family are both derived from the former Julu King Duanmu Xu An. Xu is the Xu of Duanmu Xu'an, and An is the An of Duanmu Xu'an!" Xu Xiaoyu clenched his fists with a feverish expression.
Because of his excitement, both of his yellow and white eyebrows trembled slightly.
Xu Jinye was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
"This... looks like uncle, it doesn't look like he's testing me."
... ...
After the Yi brothers and sisters left, Mei Yuanchen walked back with heavy steps.
He had no intention of deceiving anything, but he actually concealed a lot. He had no intention of hurting anyone, but he was bound to put the three women who treated him very well into pain.
A sigh, inexplicable melancholy.
Yun Xiaoyang had already walked out, and they met under the eaves.
"Yun'er, I'm sorry." Apart from these five words, Mei Yuanchen really didn't know what to say.
He lowered his head, afraid to see her disappointment, her sadness, and her tears.
"What are you sorry for?" There was no cry in Yun Xiaoyang's voice, not even the slightest hint of complaint.
Mei Yuanchen raised his head in surprise and saw her looking over with a half-smile.
"What are you sorry for? Did you do something bad?" She asked softly with her eyes half-closed and her head slightly raised.
The bedroom was less than ten feet away from the courtyard door. Yun Xiaoyang had a lot of internal energy, so she naturally heard every word of the exchange between him and Yi Qingxin.
Are you angry? Of course I was angry, so angry that I almost rushed out.
Annoyed? Of course I was annoyed that he was so close to that girl!
Does it hurt? She was so uncomfortable that she couldn't help but shed tears for a while.
But now that things have come to this, what else can she do? Cut it off with a clean slate and get out of the way?
She couldn't do it. To her, this was something more terrifying than death.
"From what I heard from the girl outside the door, she is also a very affectionate person. Her affection for him is probably no less than mine. If we change places, if I am that girl, if I am him, What else can I do?”
Do unto others, do not impose on others. Now that we know the harm, why harm others?
"I have never told you about my love before." Mei Yuanchen took two steps forward and whispered back, "I originally wanted to tell her clearly earlier, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Yun'er, it's me who didn't good."
He wanted to reach out and hold her shoulders, but he only reached out halfway and then took it back.
Yun Xiaoyang pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, took a small step forward and gently lay on his shoulder, saying softly: "I'm going back, please be careful tomorrow at the martial arts school."
After saying this, she got away from him and walked straight out of the courtyard door.
When they reached the camphor forest, Mei Yuanchen could not see her anymore. Yun Xiaoyang covered her mouth and squatted on the ground, crying softly.
Only then did she realize that love not only has endless sweetness, but also has stinging pain.
... ...
Xu Xiaoyu's words were like several boulders thrown into Xu Su's ambition.
"My surname is not Xu, my surname is Duanmu. My ancestor is the Julu King who was trapped in Dahua when the previous dynasty was unable to escape. The blood flowing in my body is the same as that of the royal family of Jue Kingdom..."
Although it was just a few words, it was subverting Xu Jinye's entire world.
After drinking tea in silence for more than a minute, he twitched his lips and asked in a low voice: "Uncle...how is this possible?"
He was not hopeful, but he still thought that maybe the uncle just told a story.
"You are a disciple of the Xu family and the royal family of the Duanmu clan of the Jue Kingdom! You, like me, also bear heavy responsibilities! There must be a battle between Dahua and the Jue Kingdom, and the Xu family must make great achievements in this battle to live up to their ancestors. Changing your name and enduring the humiliation will not be in vain for so many years of hard work by your grandfather and me!" Xu Xiaoyu's eyes seemed to be lit with fire, and he said with hatred, "Only in this way can Mrs. Xu wash away her shame and regain her dignity. Gather the glory, split the earth and be crowned king, and seek to be noble for generations to come!"
He had been silent for too long, suppressed for too long, and a burst of passion ignited his dying body and awakened his exhausted passion.
More than twenty generations of people and conspiracies, which lasted for more than three hundred years, were finally coming to an end in his hands. This feeling of "a great responsibility will be handed down from heaven to this man" made him seem to have set back thirty years physically and mentally.
"May God grant me another ten years!"
More than once he prayed to the gods at night.
Xu Jinye seemed to have been seriously injured, his whole body was weak and his eyes were full of confusion. He knew that what his uncle said was true, but this fact was more like a joke played by God on him.
"No wonder I always feel that my uncle is hiding something very serious, but I didn't expect it to be this one. In these years, he has always been running around alone, presumably to prepare for his return to the country. I always couldn't figure it out before. The uncle likes to be quiet and doesn't like to talk, but every time Master An comes to the house, they have to chat in the small courtyard for several days. It turns out that the two families still have such a connection."
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xu Xiaoyu became a little angry and scolded: "What are you thinking?"
Hearing the anger in his uncle's words, Xu Jinye hurriedly put away the distracting thoughts in his head and answered with difficulty: "Uncle, Suye is a descendant of the Xu family. The eldest uncle, second uncle, and father's surname are Xu, so my surname is Xu. The eldest uncle, the second uncle, my father’s surname is Duanmu, so my surname is Duanmu. The eldest uncle, the second uncle’s father is a Chinese, so I am a Chinese, and the eldest uncle, the second uncle, my father is a Jueguo, so I am a Jueguo!”
He had no choice. God had already arranged his identity for him the moment he was born. He must be loyal to his bloodline and his clan.
