I rely on tricks to cultivate my longevity

Chapter 213
"Yanqi made a slip of the tongue." Cheng Yanqi heard the word "secret", and apologized quickly because she asked something secret that she shouldn't have asked.

"It's okay, it's not something that can't be said, but some secrets are interesting only if they are kept to themselves." Lin Xixue pursed her lips, but when she thought that Bai Qing and Xu Zhiyi were in danger at the moment, her complexion inevitably became serious again .

Forget it, I should not rashly send messages to disturb the two of them flying away, presumably they will take the initiative to contact them after they are out of danger.

"Miss Lin thought of something difficult again?" Seeing her sudden change of expression, Cheng Yanqi tried to share her worries and repay her kindness.

Lin Xixue noticed that Cheng Yanqi's attitude towards her had changed, and said, "Master Cheng, in fact, I did all these things because your sincerity to the girls moved me. You don’t have to lower yourself.”

"Miss Lin" Cheng Yanqi was completely moved by her and was speechless.

"By the way, I came to Xun Cheng this time to inform the owner of the good news, and I also want to ask you a few questions."

"Miss Lin, please tell me, I will tell you everything!" After finally finding a chance to repay her kindness, Cheng Yanqi became excited.

"From my perspective, Master Cheng seems to know Governor Yun Chuiwei? And according to you, it seems that you have known each other since childhood?" Lin Xixue asked.

Cheng Yanqi paused for a moment, thinking about where to start, but said after a while: "Miss Lin asked me who made the underground mechanism of the Shuyu before, but before she could explain it in detail, she was asked by a group of people." The series of events is interrupted, and there is no follow-up."

"Not bad." Lin Xixue waited patiently for Cheng Yanqi to explain the relationship between these two topics.

"I don't know if Miss Lin has heard of the change of Fengmenguan that happened decades ago?" Cheng Yanqi not only did not explain the connection between the two, but brought up a new topic.

However, Lin Xixue didn't know anything about the change in the wind gate, and there was no description about it in her previous memory, so she could only shake her head.

"Hehe, the Yunzhou royal family themselves feel ashamed about this matter, so naturally they are too embarrassed to tell the outside world. Miss Lin thinks it's normal if she hasn't heard of it."

Cheng Yanqi sneered at the Yunzhou royal family in a rare way, and then continued to explain: "About 50 years ago, Emperor Rui had just ascended the throne, and the three major families assisted him wholeheartedly."

"Emperor Rui, isn't this the last emperor? It's been three generations since Emperor Xing." Lin Xixue asked.

"That's right, the three families who assisted Emperor Rui at that time were the Divine Engineering Family, the Divine Casting Xue Family, and the Divine Machine Historian!"

Lin Xixue couldn't help being startled when she heard that Shenzhu Xue's family, and instantly thought of the blacksmith Xue Xi who forged for herself.

And the Cheng Yanqi in front of her is naturally the descendant of the engineering master.As for Shi Xueqian, he must be a descendant of the Shenji historian.

It's just why Shi Xueqian, a descendant of the historian family, can still hold a high position, but the Cheng family and the Xue family are in decline, and Xue Xi's life is even more miserable, and it is completely impossible to see that his ancestors were rich.

Listening to Xue Xi's confession at that time, she seemed to say that her ancestor was on the wrong side. She didn't understand what this meant at the time, but now that she heard the "change of the wind gate", she had some vague guesses.

"So, Mr. Cheng is the descendant of this engineering master."

"That's right, not long after Emperor Rui came to the throne, his uncle took pride in himself. After the change of Fengmenguan, he forced Emperor Rui to abdicate. The three major families fought to the death, but Emperor Rui's foundation was unstable, so he finally had to issue an edict to abdicate. "

"After that, Emperor Rui was put under house arrest in the palace. His uncle, the former Emperor Jing, intended to recruit the three major families, but the three major families were unwilling to surrender due to the old emperor's favor."

"Earlier, Emperor Jing only restricted the rights of the three families, but did not make any further moves. Until Shenzhu Xue's family did something that completely broke this balance."

"The Xue family bribed the palace people and secretly transferred Ruidi, who was under house arrest, out of the palace, intending to make a comeback. However, this matter was finally revealed. The Xue family was punished by the nine clans, and my Cheng family was also implicated. They were all demoted to Jiaofang Division."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yanqi couldn't help clenching her fists, her whole body trembling with anger.

"But what about the historian, why is the historian safe and sound?" Lin Xixue was puzzled.

"After all, historians are not like my Cheng family and Xue family. They mostly play a role in logistics. Historians can really lead troops to fight, so in Emperor Jing's heart, their status is naturally more important."

"Therefore, the two parties were married before, and thanks to the mediation of this relationship, the historian was able to survive."

"However, the so-called cycle of karma and retribution is not good. Not long after Emperor Jing usurped the throne, he contracted a serious illness and died. The young Emperor Xing had to ascend the throne."

"Emperor Xing has no trustworthy ministers to assist him, and his own abilities are in a mess, which makes Yunzhou's life miserable."

Lin Xixue suddenly realized, no wonder since she crossed, there have been constant wars and disasters in Yunzhou, she could not have imagined that there are such secrets in it.

But then she thought, this happened four or fifty years ago, so when Cheng Yanqi was born, wasn't the Cheng family already assigned?

"I see that the owner of Cheng is only in his early twenties, but the Cheng family has been assigned four or fifty years ago, so you, Miss Cheng?"

"Miss Lin, you have a good idea. I was born in Jiaofang Division." Although Cheng Yanqi's face could not be seen, Lin Xixue could hear her clenching her teeth when she said this.

"Actually, my background is not glorious. After my mother fell into prostitution, I don't know why the prescription didn't work, so I was born soon." Perhaps because of the extreme anger, Cheng Yanqi's voice suddenly calmed down.

Lin Xixue stepped forward and held her hand, motioning her not to say any more, but she seemed to have finally found some outlet, and all the unwillingness in her heart was revealed in one go.

"Naturally, the Secretary of Jiaofang wanted to let my mother conceive, but my mother still used tricks to hide it from them. When they found out that they had been cheated, it was too late."

"My mother was the number one in the teaching workshop at the time, and I was afraid that the forced abortion would kill someone, so they had no choice but to reluctantly agree to my mother to give birth to me."

"I grew up in the Jiaofang Division since I was a child, and I saw too many Israelites' women, and what a miserable fate they ended up in."

"My mother often washed her face with tears, saying that she was sorry for me, and often questioned whether she should have given birth to me, but suddenly one day, my mother seemed to have figured out something."

"She began to teach me how to read and write, taught me piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and taught me mechanism skills."

"I'll never forget that day, never, never forget that day."

"I still remember that day, when I achieved some success in mechanism skills, my mother solemnly gave me a bronze statue that was corroded and disfigured, as well as a bag of scattered gold and silver and jewelry."

"She told me to live a good life in the future, after that, she will, she will"

Cheng Yanqi finally couldn't continue speaking, she had to untie her veil to reveal her peerless face with too many tears.
