swear not to be concubine

Chapter 113

When Xu Zhongxuan said with a serious face, according to his speculation, Jian Yan should not be Mrs. Jian's biological daughter, but the daughter of Zheng Guogong's direct daughter, Jian Yan's reaction to this was just one word.

"Oh."

The face is also very plain.

So Xu Zhongxuan squinted his eyes, and asked her with certainty: "You already knew the inside story of your own life experience?"

She is wearing a soul, okay?Although it was worn on a baby who was just born a few days ago, it was also conscious.So no one knows better than her what happened at that time.

It's just that Jian Yan feels that this matter cannot be explained to Xu Zhong.After all, if this kind of thing is described in detail, it is actually a bit horrifying, similar to returning the soul from a dead body, Xu Zhongxuan will definitely not be able to accept it.

So she touched her nose with her hand, turned her head sideways, avoided Xu Zhongxuan's sharp gaze, and began to lie with her eyes open: "When I was in Longxing Mansion, my mother sent Mother Zhao by her side to serve me , I once heard this mother Zhao vaguely mentioning that I was not born by my mother, but I just thought she was talking casually and didn't take it to heart, who knew it was true."

Jian Yan's small movements did not escape Xu Zhongxuan's eyes.

His eyes flickered, and he was thinking quickly, should he tell Jian Yanming that he already knew everything about her?

Then, in a short time, Xu Zhongxuan made a decision, and it was still necessary to make it clear to her.

Only when it is made clear, Jian Yan will reveal her truest temperament in front of him in the future, and in this way she will rely on and trust him even more in the future, and will not even hide everything from him.

Trust between two people is more important than anything else.

So Xu Zhongxuan squeezed Jian Yan's arms even more, then he lowered his head and said in a very calm voice: "Jian Yan, I actually know everything about you."

"Huh?" Jian Yan rested her head in his strong arms, looked at him sideways, and was a little puzzled by his words.

Don't he just play tricks on her?Then she won't be fooled.

"Do you know what's wrong with me?" She asked, "What you said, could it be that there is some big secret about me?"

Xu Zhongxuan looked at her well, his eyes were deep and dark.

Jian Yan taught him to look at him like this, and he really felt his legs were weak and his throat was tight, and he almost said everything to him in an instant.

But in fact, she didn't need to talk about it, because Xu Zhongxuan had already found out about her little secret.

"Jian Yan," he stared at her closely, and said slowly, "The Tongzhou wool shop under Zhou Lin's name, and the Shijin Pavilion in the capital were actually run by you under your instruction, right? You and Shen Chuo has cooperated in business in private, right? You know that Mrs. Jian didn't regard you as a daughter at all, but wanted you to be a concubine for officials to pave the way for her son's official career, right? You And let Zhou Lin set up a household sticker in a small town in the northwest, just wanting to run away when the time is right, and live incognito for the rest of his life, right?"

Every time he asked if it was true, Jian Yan's body trembled.In the end, she raised her hand and touched her nose with some unease, and smiled awkwardly: "Then what, you know all this? How do you know?"

After a pause, she asked angrily again: "Xu Zhongxuan, what are you trying to do by investigating me so clearly? Say, did you let your person by my side? Who is it?"

Damn, this is exactly the rhythm of checking her out.From then on, she really couldn't play any tricks in front of him.

Xu Zhongxuan didn't answer, and ignored her gag.He just still stared into her eyes, with deep and calm eyes, and said slowly: "Also, Qin Yan's name at the beginning was Zhang Yan, wasn't it?"

This time Jian Yan froze in place, looking at Xu Zhongxuan in disbelief.

He, how did he know that Qin Yan's last life name was Zhang Yan?What else does he know?Why does she feel that he is going to have a complete showdown with her now?

And Xu Zhongxuan really wants to have a complete showdown with her now.

If you don't give her some strong medicine, this girl will still go around him presumptuously when she does something in the future.He couldn't bear it anymore that she thought it was for his own good, and then ran away without saying a word, so it's better to speak clearly.

So he went on to say: "Jian Yan, in fact, you are not from this era. You are from another era. And Qin Yan and you both came from the same era, and you have known each other for a long time."

This time he didn't ask if it was right, but said in a completely affirmative tone.

Jian Yan was silent.

She felt that things were going the wrong way.

Xu Zhongxuan would know about Shijin Pavilion, fake household stickers, etc. Although Jian Yan was surprised, she would not be shocked.After all, Xu Zhongxuan said that he is also a high-ranking and powerful person. If he really wants to investigate a certain person, he must be able to find out even the eighteen generations of the other party's ancestors.It's just that she actually came here through time travel, she felt that no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't find out.But she was sure that it was impossible for Qin Yan to bring up such a thing.

When she saw Qin Yan for the first time, she was so excited and shocked, and when she blurted out and called him senior, he could calmly say that he didn't know her.She asked about the reason afterwards, and what Qin Yan said was that if he nodded and said he was her senior under such circumstances, then others would definitely ask about the relationship between the two of them.But when traveling through such a fantasy, others will only think that they are monsters, resurrected from the dead, and will end up either being burned to death or sinking into the pool. Anyway, they will not treat them as normal people.

So after a few turns in Jian Yan's mind, she finally only thought of one possibility.

She raised her head, with a serious face, raised her head and asked Xu Zhongxuan cautiously: "You are also here? What's your name? Where are you from?"

Xu Zhongxuan's face turned dark.

What bird language is she talking about?Words from their era?

"That time when you and Qin Yan were talking in the plum garden, I was behind the wall."

Jian Yan thought for a while, and then she suddenly realized: "Are you eavesdropping on my conversation with Qin Yan?"

Xu Zhongxuan's face became darker for a while: "What eavesdropping? I just heard you two talking when I came out of the study. You two are too careless in doing things, and you didn't say such things before. First check to see if there is anyone around? Fortunately, I heard it, if I teach others to hear it? The end will be disastrous."

This time, it was Jian Yan's black face.

Is it reasonable for him to eavesdrop?Do not listen to these four words, don't you know?
At this time, she heard Xu Zhongxuan asking again: "What do you mean by the last two sentences you just said? The words of your era?"

"No." Jian Yan shook her head, her thoughts were completely taken away by him, "This is English, the language of foreigners."

"Foreigner?" Xu Zhongxuan frowned, "What do you mean?"

"It's the language spoken by people from other countries on the other side of the ocean," Jian Yan explained, "but it was also the most common language in the world at that time."

"Why is the most commonly used language in the world not the language we speak, but English?" Xu Zhongxuan asked with a frown.Then she glanced at Jian Yan again, her eyes darkened, "Have you been to many places? Even countries on the other side of the ocean? How did you get there?"

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Shen Chuo said before, what Jian Yan yearns for is the wide blue sky, soaring freely.

A country on the other side of the ocean?He never even thought about it, let alone set foot there in this life.But this delicate-looking girl in his arms has actually been there, and can speak the language there.

How free has she lived before?If she can only stay in the boudoir for the rest of her life because of him, will she still get tired of such a life after all?Then you will try every means to escape from his side?

Xu Zhongxuan's gaze dimmed a little.

Jian Yan didn't notice his depression at this moment, she just said happily: "Of course I have been there. I like traveling the most, but whenever the school is on holiday, I will carry my bag, and then I have traveled all over the world. Let me tell you, I have been to many places, such as the Maldives, London, the Aegean Sea, and more, "

She stopped suddenly at this point.Then with a blank face, he looked up at Xu Zhongxuan evasively.

He used the same words, and she said everything.In this way, will he think that she is a monster who resurrected from the corpse?And then stay away from her?
Xu Zhongxuan's eyes were deeper than before.

Jian Yan mentioned these places, not to mention that he has been there, he has never heard of them.

At this moment, he felt that he was so small and insignificant in front of Jian Yan.

At this time, Jian Yan was looking at Xu Zhongxuan with a gloomy complexion anxiously, feeling very nervous, and wanted to know what he was thinking right now?
What would he think of her?
She opened her mouth to ask, but Xu Zhongxuan had already bowed her head, cupped her face in both hands, and whispered: "Jian Yan, kiss me."

There was a faint uneasiness and pleading in the words.

Jian Yan was a little confused, feeling that she couldn't keep up with his thinking.So she subconsciously groaned in a questioning tone, but didn't kiss him as he asked.

Xu Zhongxuan couldn't wait any longer.He's just full of anxiety right now.

Jian Yan felt that her face must be so red that it was about to bleed.Because her face is now hot.

"Didn't I promise you a long time ago?" She replied softly but full of sweetness, "Why do you want me to say it again now?"

Listening to him praying that he would never leave her, Jian Yan would naturally feel sweet in her heart.

This shows that he loves him very much and is afraid of losing her.

"It's different." Xu Zhongxuan raised his hand to touch Jian Yan's hot cheek, "At that time, I didn't know that you had been to so many places, and I didn't know that you lived such a free life before. Jian Yan, you How did you live in your time, can you tell me?"

Your time, your time...

These few words were poured down like a bucket of cold water, and all the hot feelings on her face and heart disappeared at once.

Her thoughts were led away by Xu Zhongxuan again.

"You," Jian Yan's heart beat like a drum, she looked at Xu Zhongxuan with some uneasiness and uncertainty, and asked cautiously, "Aren't you afraid?"

On the contrary, Xu Zhongxuan was taken aback by her question: "What should I be afraid of?"

Jian Yan stretched out her hand to push him away, and then pointed at herself: "I. To you, I am not from this era. Maybe I am just a wandering soul, possessing this current body. Resurrecting the soul with a dead body , this soul is still separated from you by an unknown amount of time and space, don’t you think I’m a terrifying monster? Are you not afraid of me?”

So that's what she said.

Xu Zhongxuan laughed for a moment, reached out and pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, looked at her and said with a smile: "Why should you be afraid? If you really love someone, you can naturally surpass everything. I just thank you God, even though there is such an intangible time and space between us, it actually sent you to my side in the end."

Then he lowered his head and kissed her lips lightly, and said in a low voice: "Jian Yan, you don't know how lucky I am to have met you."

Jian Yan was only uttered by his words as if her whole heart was soaked in honey, she didn't know what to say at all, she could only repeat one sentence over and over again: "Xu Zhongxuan, you are so kind .”

The really good Xu Zhongxuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile of success.Then he lowered his head and pecked lightly on her lips, coaxing and coaxing her softly: "So don't hide anything from me from now on, tell me everything, okay? "

"Yeah," Jian Yan nodded joyfully, never knowing that she had completely fallen into a trap dug by a wolf with a big tail, "Okay. I won't hide anything from you in the future."

The smile on Xu Zhongxuan's face deepened for a while.

What he wants most is for Jian Yan to be honest with him.Only in this way can he control what Jian Yan is thinking at any time, and know in time whether he needs to adjust his current strategy.

The little white rabbit who jumped into the trap willingly didn't know that he had been calculated to such a degree.She just stretched out her arms to hug Xu Zhongxuan's waist, and buried her head tightly in his arms, feeling full of ironing.

In the past, although she and Xu Zhongxuan both understood each other's thoughts and were very close, but now Xu Zhongxuan knew the deepest secret hidden deep in her heart, and he later said that he did not regard her as a monster, was afraid of her, and stayed away from now on. On the contrary, she still said affectionately that he was so lucky to meet her.

At this moment, Jian Yan felt that she and Xu Zhongxuan could really be as close as one person.So what else is there to hide from him?
At this time, she heard Xu Zhongxuan's voice slowly ringing above her head: "How much do you know about your life experience? Jian Yan, don't miss a single word."

Different from the gentle and watery voice before, now his voice is very serious.

Jian Yan knew that he was always rigorous in his work, since he said earlier that she might be Zheng Guogong's daughter, it must be that he was very sure about this matter in his heart.

And if she really has the status of the only daughter of the Duke's Mansion, then she doesn't have to worry about being Zhou Yuanzheng's concubine at all.

Which girl from the Duke's mansion would be a concubine?No matter how bad her reputation is, or if she does something unacceptable to the world, in the end, she would rather strangle her to death than make her a concubine.Otherwise, do you want to lose the face of the Duke's Mansion?

Jian Yan knew the importance of this matter, so she thought about it carefully, and then said: "Don't be afraid to tell me. At that time, I didn't know what was going on. First, there was a car accident, and then I was in this age when I opened my eyes, and I was just a baby. I remember it was June, and the weather was very hot. I was lying next to a dead man. The dead man watched It looks like a servant girl, and she is dressed very well, so it can be seen that she comes from a rich family. It’s just that she is covered in blood, so she should have died violently.”

He raised his hand and slowly caressed her back for a while, then Xu Zhongxuan's deep voice came slowly: "Were you very scared at that time?"

Jane Yan: ...

It seems that this should not be the focus of attention now, brother.

Jian Yan ignored him, and just continued on by herself: "At that time, I thought I was going to die again, but then I met Mrs. Jingyuan. She buried the maid and brought me back The nunnery. It’s just that there was a severe drought that year, there was no rice in the nunnery, and she couldn’t support me, so she hugged me to find Mrs. Jian. Mrs. Jian had just given birth to a daughter at that time, but she didn’t live long. My God. Mrs. Jingyuan lied to her, saying that I could protect her son from disaster. Mrs. Jian believed it and adopted me, and only said that I was her own daughter, so the house was full of people. People, including Master Jian and Jian Qing, were all concealed by her, and only her two confidantes, Mother Zhao and Mother Shen, knew about it."

"Then how did you live in Jian's house since you were a child?" Xu Zhongxuan's voice was full of distress, "You knew what kind of thoughts Mrs. Feel helpless? Have you ever cried secretly?"

It seems that the focus of this attention has gone astray again.

Jian Yan complained secretly in her heart, but she still said: "Of course I have cried, and I have cried many times. After I was adopted by Mrs. Jane, even though I tried my best to please her, but she She didn't treat me very well either, she just ignored me and threw me in a remote courtyard, as long as she made sure that I didn't die. Later, when I was seven years old, she saw me in the garden , I don’t know what she was thinking at the time, but suddenly changed me to a new yard, invited people to teach me piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing girls, and sent Mama Zhao to my side. But you also know, Mama Zhao I know very clearly in my heart that I am not Mrs. Jane's biological daughter, but was raised by Mrs. Jane as a Yangzhou skinny horse, and will be sent to someone to be a concubine in the future, so she looks down on me very much. Always challenged my bottom line again and again. So then I thought of a way to punish her. She ended badly and died in prison. I didn't expect it to be like this. So Xu Zhongxuan, look , Actually, I am not a kind person. If someone threatens me, I will think of a way to kick that person away from me. Including Wu Jingxuan, she thought of a way to slander My reputation made me only able to marry Xu Zhongze, and in the end I resorted to tricks and fueled the flames, and in the end I ended up letting her end like that. Xu Zhongxuan, do you still love me like this?"

Those things I have experienced in those years, I have suffered pain and cried, I have been hesitant and depressed, I once thought that the road ahead was bleak, and I could no longer see the slightest light.But now leaning in Xu Zhongxuan's arms, when he said it in detail, he found that all the sorrows of those years seemed to be separated by a layer of glass. He could see it, but he couldn't feel it.

Xu Zhongxuan lowered his head to kiss her forehead, and said in a low voice: "It's all over. I will watch over you in the future, and I will never let you cry helplessly again."

But his words made her want to cry.

She raised her hand to caress his cheek, her voice choked with sobs: "Xu Zhongxuan, if all the pain I suffered in the past was what I had to suffer in order to meet you, then I don't regret it at all."

At this moment, Xu Zhongxuan's eyes seemed to have a brilliance flashing, which was so dazzling and unbelievable.

He stretched out his hand and tightly held her hand caressing his cheek, looked at her fixedly, and said in a low voice but firmly: "Jian Yan, I am the same. As long as I can be with you, no matter the way forward No matter what kind of difficulties and obstacles, I will go all the way. Life is life together, death is death together."

Jian Yan buried her head in his arms, crying silently.

His embrace was so hot, and his powerful and steady heartbeat could be heard in her ears, which made her feel so at ease.

She used to think that her life was a sea of ​​suffering, but Xu Zhongxuan was the boat that took her across, shielding her from all the cold wind and rain, and sending her to the shore smoothly all the way.

Xu Zhongxuan patted her on the back lightly, coaxing her like a child: "Why are you crying? It doesn't look good when you cry."

Jian Yan burst out laughing.Then she looked up at him in his arms, and asked: "I only know so much about my life experience. What about you? How much do you know? How can you say that I am Zheng Guogong's daughter?"

The hand patting her back still didn't stop, while his clear and calming voice sounded again slowly.

"Pearl by Mrs. Jane's side is working for me now. She told me that day that she had heard Shen's mother inadvertently say that you were not born to Mrs. Jane. I asked her for some details and knew there was something wrong. There is such a person as Mrs. Yuan. So the next day I sent Qi Hui to Longxing Mansion to find this Mrs. Jingyuan. What Mrs. Jingyuan said to Qi Hui at that time was what you just said At that time, Qi Hui was also surprised. After all, the maid who brought you was dressed well, and she was stabbed to death several times. There must be something hidden in it. So he asked the local government to investigate Some rich families lost their children 14 years ago, and they all said no. However, an old clerk in the government office mentioned that 14 years ago, people from Zheng Guogong’s mansion came to search for a child. The baby and the maid. When Qi Hui came back to report these things to me, he also brought back an ebony waist card with the word "Yuan" engraved on it, saying that Mrs. Jingyuan found it on the maid. At that time, I remembered something In fact, you also know about the past. Didn’t you hear them talk about the day in the Jade Emperor Temple? Zheng Guogong was ordered to wipe out the rebellious King Duan, and then brought his family to Beijing for a reunion. On the way, his wife had already A daughter was born. But then she was ambushed by King Duan's fleeing men. I heard that the daughter who was born early died there. Coincidentally, the place where Mrs. Zheng Guogong and his party were ambushed was near the Longxing Mansion. However, Duke Zheng’s title was only Uncle Ning Yuan, and he was promoted to Duke Zheng only after his meritorious service in the rebellion. I thought, the badge on the maid’s body with the word “Yuan” engraved on it was probably the badge of Uncle Ning Yuan’s mansion. After knowing about Zhou Yuanzheng and Mei Niang, I also asked Qi Sang to investigate secretly, and found that Mrs. Zheng Guogong's mother and that Mei Niang's mother were sisters of the same mother, and the appearance of you and Mei Niang You are so similar in birth, and thinking about your age, you are so close to Zheng Guogong's daughter who died on the road, so I speculate that you should be the daughter that Zheng Guogong's wife gave birth to early. It's just that you were ambushed at that time, and your servant was rushed away, you were stabbed, you ran away in a hurry, and then died in the mountain. It happened that Master Jingyuan passed by at that time, saved you, and buried the servant. And by mistake, you were sent to Jian's house, and then Mrs. Jingyuan also left Longxing mansion, so even if Zheng Guogong sent people to search for your traces in the local area, they couldn't find any traces of you. So I just thought you were dead."

After Jian Yan heard what Xu Zhongxuan said, she just wanted to kneel down.

Xu Zhongxuan's logic and deduction ability are really too strong.Such a person should go to Dali Temple to try the case. What kind of minister is he? Qu Cai.

Xu Zhongxuan was asking again at this time: "Master Jingyuan once gave you a silver lock?"

Jian Yan nodded: "Yes."

"On yourself?"

Jian Yan knew that this silver lock was related to her background, so she took it with her when she made up her mind to escape.Now when Xu Zhongxuan asked her, she stretched out her hand and unbuttoned her jacket, and took out the silver lock that she had been wearing around her neck to show him: "Here, look, this is it."

Xu Zhongxuan took the silver lock in his hand, looked at it carefully with the light coming in from the car window, then handed it to Jian Yan, and instructed: "This silver lock is very important, you must keep it close to you. Besides Zheng Guogong and Mrs. Zheng Guogong, you must not let anyone else know that you have such a silver lock."

Jian Yan nodded, obediently put the silver lock back around her neck, and stuffed it into her clothes.

However, after hesitating for a moment, she finally asked: "Do you think Zheng Guogong and his wife will recognize me?"

Even Xu Zhongxuan's inference just now is watertight, and she has this silver lock on her body, but will Zheng Guogong and his wife recognize her so easily?After all, the continuation of the bloodline is a major event, how can it be sloppy?But there is no DNA test in this day and age, so is it possible that there will be a blood test in the end?But it is not allowed to rely on blood type alone to recognize relatives by dropping blood.Even biological parents and children don't necessarily have the same blood type.
