Chapter 2249 Another Truth 10.0

After hearing what Xiao Fengqi said, Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"What do the General and General Jin mean by this?" Xiao Fengqi looked at them, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Do you not believe it, or do you disagree?"

"Neither." Jin Miaomiao shook her head gently, "It's unimaginable and unacceptable."

"This," Xiao Fengqi was puzzled, "What is so hard to imagine and accept? Don't many people live like this? As the saying goes, people in the arena are helpless, but people like us, in the court, are even more helpless?" He smiled bitterly, "Am I not a good example? If the Xiao family had not fallen, and the two princes had not been merciful, even if I wanted to escape the marriage, it would be impossible, right?"

"That's true, but that's not what we're talking about." Shen Cha sighed softly, "If you already have someone you love in your heart, even if you can't be together, there's no way you can get married with a stranger, right? Getting married is different from other things, at least you have to stay together for life. If you have someone else in your heart, isn't it unfair and irresponsible to yourself or the other two people?"

"That's true, but many things can't be explained so clearly. My elder has someone in his heart, and the other party also has someone in his heart. This is another matter, right?"

"If you put it that way, then I understand a little bit. Everyone has their own difficulties. They are together just for the sake of interests. There is no real love, right?"

"The general is smart, that's what I mean." Xiao Fengqi looked at the people opposite him and said, "If you have patience, why don't you listen to me from the beginning and explain it slowly, how about that?"

"Of course, we are here to ask Master Xiao to answer our questions today." Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian looked at each other, gestured to Xiao Fengqi, and said, "Please speak."

The story heard from Xiao Fengqi, the first part of which was almost the same as what Qi Bo, Yan Bo and Qin Zheng said, was that Miss Xiao came to Jiangnan to investigate the traitor in her own family and accidentally ran into Mr. Jiang who was traveling. After the two of them experienced the thrilling Jiangning Mansion case together, their feelings quickly heated up. After the Jiangning Mansion case was over, the two were reluctant to part and agreed to travel together to Jiangnan.

"Mr. Xiao, your elders came to Daxia and Jiangnan to investigate the corrupt officials in the family, to collect evidence of corruption and to punish them when they returned. But after the Jiangning case, the evidence had been collected. Why didn't they go back to deal with their own family affairs immediately? Instead, they followed my elders around to play? Aren't family affairs urgent and serious?" Shen Cha looked at Xiao Fengqi in confusion, "Does she have so much time?"

"I have asked this question before. She said that she was frightened too much by the Jiangning Mansion case and needed to relax." Xiao Fengqi sighed softly, "I don't know if you know that they have experienced life and death several times in this case, and their bodies and minds have been severely damaged. After the whole case was completely resolved, they all felt exhausted physically and mentally. At this time, if they rush back to deal with housework, they may fall seriously ill after dealing with it. It is better to go out and relax and adjust yourself first."

"That." Shen Cha nodded and looked at Jin Miaomiao, "It should be acceptable." "Besides, my elder said that it's not easy to come here once, and it may be the only time in this lifetime. If you don't appreciate the mountains and rivers of Da Xia, then it would be a wasted trip. So, I decided to go out and play with this elder."

"Just go with the flow, right?" Jin Miaomiao held her cheek and looked at Xiao Fengqi, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "But when did they know each other's identities?"

"My elder said it herself, but I'm not sure when exactly, and I didn't ask in detail. It's just that after my elder's identity as a girl was exposed, the relationship between the two became better and more ambiguous. As for that senior..." He shook his head gently, "He never took the initiative to mention his identity."

"The identity of my elders is quite special and cannot be easily exposed to the public. I don't mention it proactively to avoid causing trouble to those around me. But I don't know how Mr. Xiao's elders guessed it?"

"I don't know how she guessed it." Xiao Fengqi shook his head gently. "My elders never told me, and I didn't ask. But she said that when she was in Daxia, she was not sure about this person's identity. It was not until the Daxia delegation came to visit that she knew that the person she had been with for several months in Jiangnan had such a noble identity."

"Regret it?"

"It's impossible to regret it." Xiao Fengqi shook his head gently, "On the contrary, I'm glad that I left in time, otherwise their relationship would have been a devastating blow to everyone."

"In her eyes, does this relationship feel like a burden or a devastating blow?"

"No, feelings are innocent and not a burden, but the blow is certain. After all, they are from two enemy countries. If the identity of the sweetheart is not so special and noble, my elders said that she will not give up easily, even if she has to snatch the person away. But." Xiao Fengqi shook his head lightly, "I am afraid that if the identity of that senior is snatched, it will definitely lead to a war between the two countries! So, after careful consideration, she decided to leave." He looked at the person opposite, sighed softly, and said, "I know you may not believe it, but this is what my elders said. After they left Jiangning Prefecture, they went all the way south and passed through many beautiful places in Jiangnan. She said that those few Those months were the happiest, most joyful, and most unfettered time of her life. During those months, she was no longer the head of the Xiao family, nor did she have to bear the burden of reviving the family. Instead, she could truly be herself, a simple, happy, and carefree little girl. "He smiled bitterly at the person opposite him, "You were all people who were highly expected by your family and the outside world. Your life from childhood to adulthood should be not much different from that of my elders, right? Your every word and action, every move, must be watched by everyone. If you go beyond a little, you will be pointed at, right? You have never been your true self, but have always lived as the self in the eyes of others, right?"

Several people didn't say anything, but silently agreed with Xiao Fengqi's statement in their hearts. Unless they are one's own people, no one can see the real them.

"If she wants to leave, no one will stop her. She can explain it to my elders in person." Shen Cha looked at Xiao Fengqi, "Why did she choose to leave without saying goodbye after accepting the proposal?"
