The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 147 Story ([-])

"There is never any fairness in this world."

Xie Zhifei, who had not spoken for a long time, had a very low voice and his eyes were even colder.

"When you, Qi, were bullied by other countries, it was our country, China, who sent troops to fight for you and drove away the strong bandits. It was our country's soldiers who died in the battle, and it was our country's treasury that was consumed."

Okay, my good third master, you can’t say a damn thing less.

At this time, if he says his fart smells good, you should also give me a nod!
Pei Xiao quickly kicked Xie Zhifei.

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhifei ignored him at all and said coldly:
"If you don't pay, how can you get anything? As a human being, if you can't toughen your back, then don't blame others for bullying you; the same is true for Yu Guo."

Thanks fifty, I will kneel down for you.

Pei Xiao quickly smiled at Wu Shunian and said, "Don't pay attention to him. He has been growing up..."

"well said!"

Wu Shunian shouted loudly, his blue-gray face flushed with excitement, "My father also said this to me, exactly the same."

This time, it was Xie Zhifei's turn to be shocked.

"The princess's mansion is surrounded by high walls and is followed by guards when entering and exiting. Everything she sees is good and everything she hears is flattery. In my father's words, it is a prosperous place."

Wu Shunian: "But in the old street, by the Beicang River, my father saw another side of the world."

There, there were children who were so hungry that they competed with dogs for food and gnawed tree bark;

There are old people who are sick and rejected by their families, so they can only crawl into the mountains to wait for death;

There is a woman who is standing on the street soliciting customers. She is smelly and wants to exchange her body for some money to earn food for her children;
A strong man in his early thirties knelt down and kowtowed, begging the officials to spare his somewhat pretty daughter...

There are thousands of kinds of demons, there are ghosts of grievances that linger, and there are karmic diseases...but none of them can compare to such a real and cruel human world.

My father once said to me that officials don’t need to read so many bullshit sages’ books. An old street or a Beicang River can tell them what the official wants to do.

Whether it is the Wu family, the Li family, or the Chen family, as long as the old street and the Beicang River exist, they will not last long. "

These few words...

Pei Xiao kicked Xie Zhifei again: Brother, I can't tell that Wu Guanyue has a big plan.

Xie Zhifei looked at him lightly and sneered in return.

"The father and son have lived together in Laojie for many years. Every year, the eldest princess sends someone to pick him up, but they are rejected every year. In my father's year, the eldest princess issued an ultimatum and ordered the father and son to return to Beijing immediately."

Wait!

Mrs. Ji and Wu Guanyue are two years apart.

Mrs. Ji left Dongxing County when she was 16 years old. If Wu Guanyue left Laojie, it would be almost one after the other.

Yan Sanhe secretly made a mark in his heart.

"When my father saw that my grandfather was unwilling to return to Beijing, he wrote a letter to negotiate with the eldest princess. In the end, he paid for his grandfather's freedom to continue living in the old street at the price of becoming an official in the court."

When Wu Shunian said this, his voice was still gentle, but his breath was a little unsteady.

"My father is familiar with history books and is knowledgeable about the past and present. He has the blood of two generations of royal families. He has both ambition and means. Coupled with the connections that the eldest princess has painstakingly cultivated over the years, he quickly rose to prominence in the court. .

Those years were the most loving and filial years for them, and my father followed the wishes of the eldest princess and married my mother. "

"Wait!"

Pei Xiao couldn't help but interrupt: "Is there nothing wrong with my old lady?"

"Mr. Pei, I told you that the old lady's matter will be discussed later." Wu Shunian looked level with him, "Only when the cause and effect are explained clearly, you will understand why the two of them are destined to have no connection."

Pei choked up his smile, but finally kept his mouth shut.

"My mother..."

Wu Shunian was quiet for a moment, and his eyes darkened little by little.

"Actually, it's very pitiful. She was personally chosen by the eldest princess. She is well-educated, courteous, gentle and demure, and very beautiful, but she never managed to enter my father's heart.

She would stand at the gate of the courtyard every night, looking eagerly at the bluestone road, waiting for her father to come from the other end.

Even more pitiable than my mother were my aunts. When they slept with my father, someone would bring them a bowl of soup. "

Why is this again?
Shouldn’t having more children bring more blessings?
Yan Sanhe was very confused, "Does your father think that they are not worthy of carrying his children?"

"Miss Yan's thoughts were the same as mine. It wasn't until later, when I could talk to my father like an adult, that he told me why. He said..."

Wu Shunian spoke every word calmly.

"My life is destined to not end well. It's selfish of me to let you come to this world, so why bother adding a few more innocent souls."

He actually thinks so?

Yan Sanhe clenched his fingers unconsciously.

The Wu Guanyue who walked out of the old street was a completely reborn Wu Guanyue.

He returned to Beijing with the eldest princess, became an official in the court, married a wife and had children, and gradually became a highly respected minister... He had a purpose in his heart that no one could shake.

Wu Shunian saw the shock on the three people's faces, and felt indescribable pride and joy in his heart.

This is his father.

The only person he admired and admired in his life.

"Slowly, my father became more and more powerful, especially after the old king of the Chen family passed away. The new king was only 12 years old and relied heavily on my father. Speaking of which, I have to talk about the Chen family."

Wu Shunian took a deep breath.

"I wonder if it is a curse in the land of Daqi. Everyone who has worked hard to reach a high position starts to act unscrupulously after pacifying the world and eradicating dissidents.

We don’t have enough fine clothes and food, we don’t have enough wine pools and meat forests, we don’t have enough three wives and four concubines. Our Wu family is like this, the Li family is like this, and the Chen family is even worse.

They fought for power and were extravagant and arrogant. Even my grandmother, a married princess, wanted to keep power firmly in her hands. "

At this time, a sneer came out of the door.

"This is not a curse, this is people's inner demons. This inner demon also has a name - desire."

Everyone in the courtyard was shocked.

Especially Wu Shunian couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of a maid.

Yan Sanhe glanced at Li Buyan.

She couldn't say such awesome things, it must have been said by her awesome mother.

"The girl is right, it is desire, the desire for power. And desire is like a ravine, which can never be filled.

After my father became a highly respected minister, he carried out drastic reforms in the court, and every attack was directed at the Chen family.

This caused a confrontation between him and the Chen family, which was almost incompatible with each other. The Chen family hated him deeply and sent people to assassinate my father several times. "
