"What are you curious about?"
Wei Li's voice was particularly clear, as if a sharp dagger was trying to cut open her heart to take a look.
Xu Zhihuai made an understatement: "A whole village is gone. Isn't it worth seeking justice? If His Highness is still here, he will not allow the matter to end so hastily."
Wei Li looked at her quietly: "You are so presumptuous."
Xu Zhihuai was not to be outdone: "Master Hou asked me first, why am I so presumptuous?"
If he doesn't check, he is guilty.
He also wanted to blame this blood debt on Fengdu Hou, but now that Fengdu Hou has escaped, the traitors who survived will definitely reveal a lot of inside information in order to make up for their mistakes, and the truth will naturally not be hidden.
He can't afford it.
"What truth do you want?"
"The Marquis of Fengdu reveals the truth about human life."
Her tone became more and more excited, and she could no longer pretend to be so.
Wei Li saw through her heart, she was angry.
Where does this anger come from? It must be related to her unknown past.
An evil smile crossed Wei Li's lips.
"You are not Xu Zhihuai."
His words revealed the secret and hit Xu Zhihuai's heart hard.
Xu Zhihuai smiled back: "I'm not me, who else could I be?"
"You are not Xu Zhihuai!"
Wei Li emphasized his tone and spoke clearly.
Xu Zhihuai stopped talking, lest the description would get darker and he would be at a disadvantage if he explained too much.
Wei Li's eyes were blazing, like a hunter who had caught a fox's tail. He was a little excited and a little excited. He chased and continued: "Your background has been checked a long time ago. You have lived in the Wu Mansion for only three years, and Three years ago, no one was familiar with you, and even your aunt and uncle met you for the first time. They took you in because you had a family heirloom in your hand, nothing more."
A distant relative who had not been seen for eight hundred years suddenly came to seek refuge. He seemed to be of similar age and had something as a keepsake, so he was naturally trustworthy. The Wu family did not take her seriously, and they would not spend money to send people to find out clearly. They were too lazy to waste that time, and they only coveted her property and used her as a slave to their doorstep.
There are so many details that cannot withstand scrutiny.
"You've been lying to me since the first time I met you."
At the end, Wei Li added another sentence, with three parts of hatred and three parts of resentment.
Xu Zhihuai held his breath, and all the muscles in his body were tense, faintly exerting force.
"Master Hou is so awesome."
She first complimented him in a weird way, and then said eloquently: "What the Marquis said is not entirely true. My aunt and my father have a bad relationship, so we haven't been in contact with each other for many years. And I don't have any relatives in Huaizhou. My daughter During the Great Eighteenth Change, the longer it gets, the more it changes its appearance, and sometimes you can’t recognize it for a while.”
Wei Li sat with his legs crossed, his posture relaxed but not losing his momentum. His smiling expression seemed to be mocking her: continue to weave, and then go on.
"The Marquis is in command of the Imperial Guard, and he is investigating corrupt officials, treacherous officials, and traitors. Why waste time on me. If nothing else works, just ask me if you want to know anything."
After Xu Zhihuai finished speaking, he picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. It was refreshing and fragrant.
Wei Li also imitated her and drank the tea in one gulp.
He raised his neck, revealing his rolling Adam's apple. The veins in his neck were slightly bulging and glowed with an unusual red color.
He's going to be annoyed.
"The Marquis said that I am not Xu Zhihuai, so who am I? Who does the Marquis want me to be?"
Xu Zhihuai suddenly changed his tone, gentle and calm.
Her fair face was drooped, even more delicate and porcelain-like.
When Wei Li heard this, his face turned pale with anger, and he had no choice but to laugh.
Where did she get the courage?
Is she not afraid of him at all now?
"Actually, is it really that important whether I am Xu Zhihuai or not?"
Wei Li was about to get angry, but she stopped him.
He could have carried out a thorough investigation, but he didn't, and instead delayed it again and again.
Maybe, he thought so too. It didn't matter whether she was Xu Zhihuai or not.
Xu Zhihuai said calmly: "Master Marquis wants to find out something and can't find it out, so why bother asking me? If we continue to argue like this, it will be a waste of energy and make each other lose their dignity."
Wei Li laughed angrily at her, holding her hands and laughing.
He is not suitable for smiling. His smile does not reach his eyes and gives people a sinister feeling.
"Why are you laughing, Master Hou?"
Wei Li clapped his hands and hummed from his nose: "You have indeed become more capable. In the past, you could only tell lies, but now you have learned to speak truth."
"That's right, Lord Marquis doesn't like to reason."
Her words made him feel depressed again.
Wei Li also had a thorn in his words: "It depends on the person and the occasion. There is no reason to talk about it between you and me."
"Master Hou only likes to scare me."
Xu Zhihuai softened a little more, which made Wei Li's anger that he had just wanted to vent suddenly cool down. Her heart was repeatedly stirred by her, neither cold nor hot.
Wei Li knew she was playing tricks, but he still fell into it unknowingly.
He lowered his eyes and wanted to drink tea, but found that the tea cup was empty.
Before he could say anything, he saw a thin white hand reaching out to fill his teacup.
Wei Li's eyes followed the teacup and landed on her slender wrist, and he said in a low voice: "You'd better not be involved with Feng, and don't ask about the village massacre case."
Xu Zhihuai's hanging hand trembled subtly: "What if I have to get to the bottom of it?"
"you!"
Wei Li was about to speak but stopped.
He was still rational and did not say any harsh words. He directly challenged: "Then I will help you, okay?"
"What?"
"Take you to see it."
"What are you looking at?"
Xu Zhihuai's voice was a little hoarse.
"Look at that village... is it still there?"
Xu Zhihuai responded instinctively: "Okay!"
Wei Li would do what she said, not giving her a chance to regret, and arranged to leave tomorrow.
Xu Zhihuai was tugging at his heart and naturally he would not retreat.
That's where she really comes from, that's the unmarked grave of her parents.
Wei Li came to pick her up early in the morning. Seeing that she was still holding the child, he couldn't help but frown: "What are you taking her for?"
Xu Zhihuai said lightly: "When I wake up, this child has never left my eyes. Naturally, I have to take her with me and leave her here. I will only go crazy."
Wei Li had no choice but to give up and deliberately looked away from the baby in her arms.
At the foot of the mountain, there is dense jungle and rugged paths.
At the end of the woods, there is indeed a deserted village.
There are a few stone houses scattered here and there, and the walls are covered with large and small black marks, which are obviously caused by fire.
Lush grass grew out of the scorched earth back then. Xu Zhihuai looked around and couldn't see any blood or debris.
Yes, after years of wind and rain, what is left...only the most hidden secret she hides in her heart.
Desolate, desolate, depressed.
Xu Zhihuai followed the path he had taken with his daughter in his arms, trying to find his childhood home, but he still had no clue.
She couldn't find it.
