I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 597 Gu Tuo's Past

Xia Ying sneered.

"Are you wrong? How do I see that you have been righteous from the beginning to the end, and you have not regretted what you have done until now?"

"Well, I really don't regret it." Gu Tuo said.

This guy!
How dare he say that!

Xia Ying jumped up angrily and screwed his ears. "My surname is Gu, you just want to piss me off, right? Look at all the good things you have done! I haven't settled with you yet, but you continue to piss me off? I'll settle everything with you before I come back!"

"Actually, it's not too late now." Gu Tuo let her twist his ears, but his eyes stared at Xia Ying without blinking.

"Also, I have something to tell you."

Xia Ying's heart tightened.

She guessed what he was going to say.

She loosened her hand weakly. "Okay, tell me!"

It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.Now that she is already sunk in this quagmire, why is she still struggling?Just lie flat and love what you want!

Seeing her attitude of giving up resistance and conforming to the trend, Gu Tuo smiled helplessly, and pulled her to sit down on the edge of the bed.

"My surname is Ran, my name is Ling Xuan, and my nickname is Qin Yuan." He solemnly introduced his true identity.

Xia Ying pouted. "Why say so clearly? Anyway, you can't use this name now."

And it's not certain whether it will be used or not in the future!

"It must be made clear! Because this is my real name, as my first wife, if you don't even know your own man's name, what's the matter?" Gu Tuo said with a serious face.

While talking, his big palm has already held Xia Ying's hand.

Xia Ying wanted to break free, but this man's hands were so strong that she couldn't break free at all.Even if she tried a little harder, the man threatened in a deep voice: "Don't move. If you move again, I will hold you in my arms and continue talking!"

Xia Ying didn't dare to move anymore.

"Let's get down to business, what are you talking about when you hold me in your arms?" She gave the man an angry look.

"Because if you don't do this, you are likely to run away." Gu Tuo honestly explained his worries.

Xia Ying was speechless.

She did want to run!It's just that this man will give her another chance?

Impossible to think about!

She sighed helplessly. "Okay, go ahead! I'm sure I won't run away."

Gu Tuo nodded, and he continued: "As magistrate Mao said, our Ran family has been one of the best ordnance manufacturers in China since the founding of the country. Later, Emperor Chengzu established the Shenji Camp, and the Ran family was the first to be incorporated into it. In the next few decades, a lot of powerful ordnance was indeed delivered to the military camps of the Chinese Dynasty. The son of the Ran family thought that it was his duty to develop better weapons for the Chinese Dynasty. Walking around, the first thing you touch is the latest style of ordnance made by the elders in the family. The same is true for me."

She saw it.Xia Ying nodded.

Seeing that she was really listening to him seriously, Gu Tuo couldn't help showing a look of relaxation on the man's face.

"However, I'm actually just one of more than 12 men from the 100th generation of the Ran family. My identity was not obvious when I was young, and my skills were not the best among the brothers, but fortunately, I still inherited my father's He has the ability to develop ordnance, so he was allowed to enter the back of the Shenji Battalion from the age of nine, and he worked hard with his brothers to gain experience."

"However, before I could really finish my studies, there was a big change in the imperial court, and all those who followed the late emperor were severely punished, including our Ran family, Brother Long and his family. At that time, the capital was full of people every day Someone was beheaded, and the smell of blood lingered for a whole month before dissipating. All the dignified members of the Ran family were also dragged out and beheaded. At this time, thanks to my inconspicuousness among the brothers, the family When the incident happened, my uncles negotiated collectively and decided to send me out of the capital to preserve the last bloodline of the Ran family."

Having said this, he didn't say anything, but his eyes were already covered with bloodshot eyes.

His hands were also clenched into fists.The veins on the back of his hands burst out because he was so sad and indignant when he recalled the sad past.

Xia Ying immediately bared her teeth.

"Take it easy! My hand will be crushed by you!"

"what?"

It wasn't until Gu Tuo realized that his hand was still holding hers!

The man quickly let go of his hand. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"

"I know, otherwise, do you think I would just remind you like this? If I had my temper in the past, I should just bite it down!" Xia Ying said angrily.

The man lowered his eyes.

Xia Ying rubbed her painfully squeezed hands, but her eyes looked at this man who was already soaked in sadness, and she gradually felt a little pity in her heart.

This man has never liked to talk too much, but now he told her so much in one breath, and completely exposed his old background, he must have made a great determination.

And even though it was just such a few short sentences, she could hear endless sadness and helplessness from them.

"When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses. The ancients were not deceived."

Xia Ying sighed softly, and she took the initiative to open her arms to hug him.

The man's body froze.

Xia Ying patted him on the back again. "Okay, I know your real identity now, and I also know that it's not easy for you. So I don't care about you deliberately dragging me into the water, can't I?"

"Hmm." The man nodded.

"But other than that, do you have anything else you want to tell me?"

"I really do!" Xia Ying nodded quickly.

The man hurriedly said, "Say."

"What I want to know is——as the son of Ran's family, did your family tell you about your daughter-in-law?"

"Uh, this..."

Gu Tuo hesitated.

Xia Ying became angry.

"Although we didn't get married in time, you are engaged, right? Right?"

"...Yes. But when the incident happened, their family was also implicated. She committed suicide along with the family members to avoid being humiliated." Gu Tuo said quickly.

Xia Ying's heart sank immediately.

"Is that right?"

The things that Gu Tuo said today are all scenes that she has seen in history books and TV dramas.It's just a few strokes in the book, and the beautified picture on the TV can't give people much sense of substitution after all.But now, listening to Gu Tuo's words with her own ears, a picture appeared in front of her eyes——

In the gorgeous and magnificent mansion, the once glorious aristocratic family is now surrounded by officers and soldiers.The men in the house had already taken off their hats, and walked to the front yard in unison to receive the order.But the female relatives are all gathered together, everyone has a white silk, and hangs it on the beam of the house without hesitation.

The breeze blows, the sleeves of the clothes flutter, and the rings jingle, but their owners have long since lost their vitality.

Xia Ying's eye circles were wet.

When the family was prosperous, the women were kept as pets in the backyard; but when the family was in decline, their fate was even more tragic.Why is the life of a woman in this world so miserable?

Seeing a tear drop falling from the corner of Xia Ying's eye, Gu Tuo was frightened out of his wits!
