Chapter 2253 Another Truth 14.0

Xiao Fengqi looked at Shen Cha with a serious expression and nodded to her solemnly.

"Yes, this is the only person my elder loved in her life. There is no other person. General, you can rest assured." He looked at Shen Cha, thought for a while, and continued, "My elder's wish before his death was that one day the other party would know her feelings and know that she was not without feelings for him. Similarly, this is also her regret in this life, because she didn't tell him in person that she liked him very much and loved him very much."

"They have been together in Jiangnan for several months. Although they have developed feelings for each other, they are young and ignorant about love. This is understandable." Jin Miaomiao held her cheek and looked at Xiao Fengqi. "Even if they meet my elders again in Linhuang Mansion, I'm afraid that Mr. Xiao's elders have not yet realized their feelings, right?"

"Lord Jin is amazing. His guess was very accurate." Xiao Fengqi gave Jin Miaomiao a thumbs up. "My elder realized that there was this person in her heart and that no one else could live in her heart after receiving the delegation. When the Great Xia delegation left Linhuang Prefecture, she personally sent the delegation away as the reception envoy. She said that as she watched the delegation's carriages and horses go farther and farther away, she suddenly realized that she loved him very much, but there was no possibility for them to be together in this life. Everything was irreversible."

"What happened later? After the delegation left, did Mr. Xiao's elders get married?"

"Yes!" Xiao Fengqi sighed, "It is never easy for a woman to be the head of a family. In other words, it should be very difficult. This world is too unfair and unjust to women. It has put too many shackles and constraints on them."

"Excuse me, Mr. Xiao!" Jin Miaomiao picked up the teapot on her desk, refilled it for herself, picked up the teacup, and said, "Just based on what you said just now, I want to toast you a cup!"

Xiao Fengqi smiled, refilled his tea and picked it up.

“Salute to all the women in the world!”

The others did the same as them, picking up their teacups, drinking from a distance, and then finishing the tea in the cup.

"Mr. Xiao, please continue."

"Okay!" Xiao Fengqi put down the teacup in his hand, looked at everyone, and continued, "Because of the meritorious service in receiving the delegation, the late king highly praised the elders of my family, and rewards flowed from the palace to the Xiao Mansion. Some elders in the family were very jealous and began to plot secretly." He saw that the people opposite him looked a little puzzled, and smiled, "The late king was not Yeluertu, and none of us regarded him as the King of Gold."

"Is he his brother?"

"No!" Xiao Fengqi shook his head gently. "It was his father, a king who didn't live long but was very knowledgeable and ambitious. At that time, the throne of the empress was vacant, and the elders in the clan who had bad intentions saw that the late king appreciated my elder very much, so they urged the late king to choose my elder as his concubine and let her enter the harem." "They are also blind. How could my brother agree to such a proposal? Although he admires Xiaonan very much, he has never thought of marrying her or even making her the queen." The Third Master took out a fan from somewhere and shook it gently, saying, "After the Queen Mother, the clan has long left behind the teachings of our ancestors that no girl from the Xiao family can enter the palace or marry a Yelu man. This is an iron rule. Once the descendants violate the iron rule, they will face severe punishment." He sighed softly, "My brother also knows that some people in the Xiao family have evil intentions and want to pull Xiaonan down from the position of head of the family. So, he discussed it with Xiaonan and decided to use the same trick against her to give Xiaonan time to deal with those people."

"It's like this." Xiao Fengqi sighed and said, "It took a long time to deal with them. After the elders were killed for one reason or another, more than a year had passed. My elders wanted to delay it any longer and didn't want to get married, but that was impossible. So, after thinking about it, they came up with the idea of ​​recruiting a son-in-law through marriage. They found a few young men from similar families, and after choosing and choosing, they chose that one and lived like that for the rest of their lives. When I was young, I didn't understand much. I just watched them support each other and thought that was a perfect life. But I didn't expect." He sighed softly and said, "It's not like this. They each have their own sweethearts in their hearts, but they are forced by various factors and can't stay together forever."

"Two poor infatuated people, hugging each other and keeping each other warm, right?"

"Yes!" Xiao Fengqi smiled and cried, "But I remember my elders also said that she was once disheartened, and it was my great-uncle who comforted her. The dead are gone, and the living should continue to live with the hope of the dead, and live well."

"The dead are gone?" Shen Cha was stunned, then realized that it was when Mr. Jiang failed in his fight with Ning Changguo and had to fake his death. She sighed softly, "I understand, but later, how did you know that the teahouse owner was the person you were looking for?"

"I don't know!" Xiao Fengqi shook his head gently. "I didn't know anything about him before I came here. I saw him in the teahouse yesterday. When I saw the shopkeeper, I realized that he was still alive. So, after I went back, I wanted to meet him."

"How do you know him?"

"There are several different portraits hanging in the bedroom of my elders, but the protagonists of the portraits are all the owners of the teahouse." Xiao Fengqi sighed softly, "After my great-aunt passed away, no one was allowed to enter her bedroom except me, so I was responsible for cleaning and other things myself." He smiled at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and others, "So, you will recognize it as long as you see it."

"Last night, he came back from the teahouse and locked himself in the room." Qi Zhifeng drank two sips of tea and looked at Xiao Fengqi helplessly. "I went to find him and asked him what happened. He told me that maybe the elders' last wish could be fulfilled. I thought that if that was the case, why not meet each other and talk about what happened in the past, untie each other's knots, so that no one would leave with regrets. So, I wrote a visiting card to meet the Duke and Sister Xiaocha."

"Well done!" Shen Cha smiled at him, then turned to look at Xiao Fengqi, "I can help you make an appointment with him and let him meet you, but everything depends on his own wishes. If he doesn't want to see you, you can only find a way yourself, okay?"

"As long as the general can help convey the message, I will be satisfied." Xiao Fengqi stood up and saluted solemnly, "Then please!"
