Chapter 375 The scandal that shocked ancient and modern
"My words naturally count." Ji Lingxuan looked at Chu Yingyi seriously and said firmly, "Even if you regard me as a monster, even if you cannot accept me, I will tell you the truth."
In fact, she also felt very stressed by keeping Chu Yingyi's secret like this.
When Chu Yingyi was so kind to her, she couldn't help but keep thinking about whether Chu Yingyi would be as kind to him as she is now if he knew her true origin...
She has always been humble and wanted to protect this relationship. She was intoxicated in Chu Yingyi's care and was so greedy that she couldn't extricate herself.
She has been lonely and helpless since she was a child. Although she looks very cold on the outside, she desperately longs for love and care in her heart.
Therefore, once someone is really nice to her, she will be irresistibly addicted to it.
Although she was kind to Brother Qin in her previous life and Chu Yingyi in this life, she was still very touched by what they did for her afterwards.
In addition to Brother Qin in her previous life, she also had a sister, but since time traveling, there is no one she cares about, especially since she was killed by her biological sister.
In this situation, the better Chu Yingyi was to her, the warmer her cold heart became.
There are some things where she is very proud, but there are other things where she becomes humble unconsciously.
She desperately longs for care and is very greedy for warmth. Therefore, even if Chu Yingyi was kind to her before, even if she was hurt later, she could still forgive him for what he did.
There are very few people in this world who care about her, and she is afraid of losing them.
However, if this love is really so fragile, she thinks it is a good thing not to.
If she had left earlier, she wouldn't have fallen deeper into it, and she didn't need to feel so uncomfortable.
Ji Lingxuan had already made plans in her heart, but her mood suddenly became extremely heavy.
Chu Yingyi held her hand harder and harder. Ji Lingxuan would speak like this, which meant that what she was about to say was definitely very serious.
"Don't be afraid, I am here." Chu Yingyi found that Ji Lingxuan suddenly became depressed after mentioning her affairs, and she immediately couldn't help but comfort her, feeling very distressed.
If possible, he really didn't want to make her sad, but he was indeed eager to know everything about her.
He wanted to understand her better, and only by understanding her better could she know how to care for her better.
Ji Lingxuan smiled reluctantly, shook her head and said, "I'm fine."
"Don't talk about me first. You should fulfill your promise first." After a moment, Ji Lingxuan glared at him again.
She said that she would tell her story when he told her everything she promised. But before he even opened her mouth, her emotions were already brewing. What was going on?
Chu Yingyi smiled softly and scratched her nose.
He thought carefully about what he wanted to say, and suddenly his mood became very unhappy.
After being silent for a long time, he didn't know what to say. After all, this was a family scandal. Although Ji Lingxuan was someone he recognized, he still felt embarrassed to say it out.
He was even a little afraid that Ji Lingxuan would look down on her because of this.
When Chu Yingyi thought about it, she felt more and more panicked in her heart, and she became more and more afraid to speak.
Ji Lingxuan waited for a long time but still didn't wait for Chu Yingyi to speak. She simply turned around and stared at Chu Yingyi with a pair of clean and deep eyes.
She could see Chu Yingyi's hesitation, struggle, and fear at this moment.
Ji Lingxuan was stunned. She didn't expect someone as powerful as Chu Yingyi to have such an unknown side.
She suddenly felt pain in her heart, took her hand out from under the quilt, gently touched his face, and said softly, "If it's really hard to talk about it, it's okay not to say it."
Ji Lingxuan knew that although Chu Yingyi looked strong on the surface, everyone thought he was scary, but she knew how much pain he had endured behind the scenes, but he never showed it. Others only saw his strong side and felt that he would never be able to do it.
Will get hurt.
However, she knew that he was actually having a hard time, and she also knew that something that could affect him so emotionally must be a huge blow.
Therefore, Ji Lingxuan suddenly softened her heart. Although she was curious, she still didn't want Chu Yingyi to feel uncomfortable.
She would rather not know, and she didn't want him to feel uncomfortable because of this matter.
Of course, there are also some reasons why she shrinks back and doesn't want to speak out.
Although she had made sufficient mental preparations and fought mentally before, she suddenly didn't want to say it out loud.
She was very afraid that she would really lose this hard-earned warmth.
However, although Chu Yingyi was also worried, she had no intention of giving up.
Because he knows and believes that Ji Lingxuan will never leave him for that reason. Ji Lingxuan is different from many people. She is not the kind of person who sticks to the secular world.
After pondering for a long time, Chu Yingyi said in a deep voice, "No, I said, in fact, it's not a big deal, it's just a scandal in the Chu family."
Ji Lingxuan pulled away the quilt, covered Chu Yingyi under the quilt, took one of his arms to use as a pillow, then hugged her tightly and looked at him with wide eyes.
Chu Yingyi gently rubbed her head, a softness flashed in her eyes, and she spoke softly, "The former wife of the city lord of Nangong City, in fact, she is...our grandfather's biological sister."
Ji Lingxuan was stunned. She had thought that Chu Yingyi and the city lord's wife must have some kind of relationship, but she didn't expect the relationship to be so deep.
"Yes." Ji Lingxuan nodded, shrank into his arms, and continued to listen to him with her eyes wide open.
Chu Yingyi paused and continued, "Later, she fell in love with our father. During a family banquet, she wanted to drug him on the grounds that he asked him to go get something from her. But at that time, my father
The king drank too much, so he asked his uncle to take his place, and she mistakenly identified him as her father..."
Ji Lingxuan's eyes widened in shock. If her grandfather's sister was not married yet, Chu Yingyi's father would be her nephew. Can this be done?
Isn’t it said that the ancients paid most attention to these ethical relationships? Why does the wife of the city lord have no shame at all in this regard?
Even if she doesn't talk about seniority and just looks at blood relationship, she can't do anything about it, right? Isn't she afraid of being punished by God?
"After such a big thing happened, my uncle committed suicide directly." After Chu Yingyi finished speaking in a low voice, her mood became heavier and lower.
Ji Lingxuan is actually not much better than Chu Yingyi, and even now she has not recovered from the shock.
This kind of thing, even in modern times, would be criticized by thousands of people and reviled by thousands of people!
There is also Chu Yingyi's uncle, who is Chu Mo's grandfather. Ji Lingxuan once heard Chu Yingyi say that in his father's time, the position of King of Chu should actually be passed to his uncle, but he gave up the position of King of Chu.
Gave it to Chu Yingyi’s father.
The relationship between the uncle and the old King of Chu was so good. When things turned out like that, the old King of Chu must have been very sad.
It's no wonder that Chu Yingyi, a cold and indifferent person, would be so concerned about his uncle's grandson. He originally planned to let Chu Mo inherit the throne of King Chu after his death.
"Do you think that my family is too disgusting?" Chu Yingyi looked at Ji Lingxuan and asked cautiously.
He was really afraid that Ji Lingxuan would not be able to accept this fact and would look down on him.
Ji Lingxuan came back to her senses and looked at Chu Yingyi like this, feeling full of pity in her heart.
This is how ancient people thought. Once there is a scandal in the family, it will bring disaster to the family members and they will be looked down upon by others. They will also be regarded as the person who made the mistake and be raped, and the family members themselves will also be very tormented in their hearts.
Chu Yingyi must have suffered spiritual torture over the years.
Ji Lingxuan hugged Chu Yingyi tightly and said softly, "She is her and you are you. How can we generalize. In my heart, you will always be the best."
How could she look down on him? She would only think that he was more and more worthy of feeling sorry for him.
Chu Yingyi breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Ji Lingxuan back, a warm current flowing through her heart.
He knew that Ji Lingxuan would never care! (To be continued)
