He was invited to a cultural gathering today, where he recited poems, drank wine and chatted with a group of like-minded friends. He was quite happy at first.
Until someone started talking and joking: "Brother Yuan Ming really gave birth to a good daughter! I heard that Mr. Murong, who came from the capital, also fell in love with Miss Zhao Liu."
"It's strange to say that Mr. Murong has never been to Beihai County, so why does he admire Miss Zhao Liu so much? Could it be that Miss Zhao Liu's reputation has spread to the capital?"
Although this is a compliment, it is also a bit frivolous.
Zhao Yuanming immediately darkened his face, put down his wine glass, and said seriously: "The man behaves frivolously and does not think about his own faults. Instead, he blames the woman for being too beautiful and intelligent. This kind of secular prejudice is narrow-minded and ridiculous. It is a disease and should be treated properly.
"
The talkative man turned red in the face and stood up to apologize.
Zhao Yuanming had a fit and lost his interest.
After entering the house, Zhao Yuanming was a little surprised to hear that Huo Yan had been here today and left in despair. He thought about it and went to Zhao Xiyan's yard.
Zhao Xiyan had already expected her biological father to come back, so she had prepared sobering soup and was waiting for him!
"Dad, this is the hangover soup I cooked by myself. Drink it first to relieve the hangover." Zhao Xiyan smiled and held up a bowl of hangover soup.
"Yue Ya'er," Zhao Yuanming said with anger and a strong voice, "What happened to their father and son?"
"Listen to me." Zhao Xiyan glanced at her father reassuringly: "This is what I thought before. Now I have figured it out. I didn't do anything wrong, and there is no need to look down on myself for it."
Zhao Yuanming: "..."
Zhao Yuanming had no principled stance and quickly forgave his daughter for her little lie: "That's fine, just think about it. From now on, don't hide anything from dad."
Zhao Yuanming: "!!!"
Zhao Yuanming's eyelids twitched heavily, and his expression suddenly changed.
Zhao Yuanming reached out and took his daughter into his arms.
Zhao Xiyan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I still have something very important that I haven't told Dad."
"I feel like this is a stain that I can never wash away. I have been reborn and my body is pure and clean, but my heart is already dirty."
Zhao Yuanming: "..."
Zhao Xiyan revealed all the secrets she had been holding in her heart for a long time, and her whole figure felt relieved and relieved: "In short, that's it."
The water flashed back and forth in his eyes, but did not fall in the end.
"I deliberately smiled at Huo Yan in front of Zhou Sui, and Zhou Sui killed Huo Yan. As soon as Huo Yan died, Huo Hengwen also had an 'accident' soon."
Zhao Xiyan said calmly: "They are all dead."
After drinking the hangover soup, Zhao Yuanming perked up and asked casually: "Has Huo Yan been here today? Did you say anything to him?"
There was clearly a hint of dissatisfaction in his father's tone.
Zhao Yuanming was speechless for a long time.
"In the previous life, the Jin Dynasty was in constant civil strife and the country fell in six or seven years. Later, the Murong family conquered the world. Murong Yao died half a year after he ascended the throne. Murong Shen later sat on the dragon throne."
"Murong Shen probably came back with the same memories of his previous life out of unwillingness. That's why he came to find me."
Zhao Yuanming felt both relieved and heartbroken.
It would be shameless to sacrifice all your female relatives to the bandits, contribute to the bandits, harm the people, and seek your own wealth.
The Zhao family and the Huo family are close friends. Huo Yan and Zhao Xiyan grew up together, but they were like brothers and sisters, even though they had no relationship between men and women. Zhao Xiyan was quite close to Huo Yan in the past, why did he suddenly hate her so much?
He knows people but knows faces but not their hearts. He and Huo Hengwen were classmates when they were young and had been close friends for decades, but they never noticed the darkness and despicability under Huo Hengwen's humble appearance.
"Actually, it was because I took the initiative to approach him for revenge in my previous life, and later became the favored concubine of the palace."
Zhao Xiyan immediately smiled and said: "How could it be because of him? He accounts for at most three points, and the seven points of credit are all my father's."
Zhao Xiyan's eyes were a little red, but the corners of her mouth were raised, and she whispered to Zhao Yuanming, just like she shared her secrets with her father when she was a child: "Dad, Xu Jing likes me, and I like him too. After the ceremony,
He's coming to propose marriage. When the time comes, dad, please don't embarrass him, okay?"
Such a bright and beautiful smile makes anyone look at her softly.
"Because of me, Zhou Sui and Murong Shen turned against each other. Murong Shen sent troops to attack Qingzhou. Zhou Sui held out for more than a year before being defeated. The rebel army was wiped out. Zhou Sui was executed by Lingchi."
Zhao Yuanming was speechless for a moment, then said: "I felt something was wrong before. You seem to hate Huo Yan very much. Why is that?"
It’s better to be a precious daughter, I know I feel sorry for my biological father.
Zhao Xiyan nodded: "He expressed his love to me, and I scolded him and told him to get out."
Looking at her father's shocked face, Zhao Xiyan threw down another boulder: "Dad must be wondering why Murong Shen found Zhaojiafang!"
"I was a little regretful that I could not witness Zhou Sui's execution. However, my great revenge was avenged, and my remaining wish was fulfilled. So I committed suicide by taking poison."
She can talk about old things in a calm tone now, but how did she survive back then?
Zhao Yuanming nodded in agreement without thinking.
It is understandable that you sacrifice your family fortune to save your life.
The daughter he had carefully cared for and raised was once disgraced and had to endure the humiliation of staying by Zhou Sui's side. Beauty is a sharp weapon that hurts others and hurts even more.
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and whispered: "Beihai County was massacred in the previous life, and no male member of our Zhao family survived. The Huo family father and son were safe. Later I met Huo Yan in the rebel army, and he
He joined Zhou Sui's command and became a clerk. Huo Hengwen was even reused by Zhou Sui and was responsible for buying and grabbing food for the rebel army."
After a while, the excitement calmed down a little. Zhao Yuanming let go and took two steps back, looking at his daughter: "You are relieved now, is it because of that boy Xu Jing?"
"I, Zhao Xiyan, am a pure and good girl, worthy of the love and affection of the best young man in the world. God allowed me to live a new life, not to let me feel sorry for myself and suffer, but to let me live a peaceful and happy life.
"
Zhao Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Zhao Yuanming: "Dad, I have never wanted to tell you this before. My beauty has become a sharp weapon, and I can use this sharp weapon to get revenge. I am afraid that you will feel distressed.
I’m also afraid that I’ll be sad.”
Zhao Yuanming's eyes turned red: "Crescent Moon."
Zhao Yuanming felt warm in his heart and drank it with a smile.
"In order to survive, they, father and son, sacrificed their family property and all their female relatives to the rebel army..."
"I know Murong Shen's temper very well. He will never allow me to marry Xu Jing."
"My decision was a bit selfish, and it would also cause trouble for the Zhao family. But I don't want to enter the palace again and be a caged bird."
"I'm not a beauty, I'm just an ordinary girl who wants to marry the boy I like and live happily for the rest of my life."
This is my favorite chapter~ Some book friends have raised objections before, asking why Yue Yaer didn’t tell her biological father all the facts from the beginning. How could a woman who had lost her virginity and been humiliated for several years use her beauty as a weapon be willing to tell the truth?
Such a humiliating past? She will only speak out after she is truly relieved and has figured it out. I think this setting is more reasonable (#^.^#)
Yue Yaer has let go of the past and started a real new life!
