Xie Xuan nodded. Her teammate is a smart person, so this kind of experience always makes people happy.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Xuan talked about some things she knew, "Sister-in-law should know that the father and the three brothers, the father and the uncle were both born in the grandmother's legitimate family, and the same mother, right?"

Li nodded, and naturally knew.

"The sister-in-law should also know that at first, the position of Dingguo Duke belongs to the uncle?" Xie Xuan asked again, her tone was light, but Li felt a sudden heart. Could it be...

"Originally, my uncle and my father have always had a deep brotherly relationship, but my father has always had a unique talent for military affairs. Although my grandfather's title was passed on to my uncle, my father also established his reputation in the Northwest Army with his own ability. I don't know if my uncle minded or was unwilling to accept it, because they had always been peaceful between their brothers, but my aunt was afraid that a thorn was planted in her heart, and this thorn finally took root, had pain, and broke out on the day when my uncle died in the battlefield."

Xie Xuan raised her eyes, her eyes were cold, but Li was palpitations in her heart for some reason.

"That is the deep pain in my mother and aunt's heart, and it is also the knot that cannot be opened between them... Did the sister-in-law know that I have a fifth sister?"

Li was stunned and then vaguely foreshadowed something. Not only did he feel bitter in his throat, but even if he clicked the other end, it seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds. Could it be... Is it because of this? Yes... The seventh sister said it was a dead knot. For a mother, what would it be a real dead knot? Although Li had never been a mother, it was not difficult for her to think that, and in an instant, her face turned pale.

Xie Xuan didn't look at her face. After a moment of pause, she said, "Oh! Actually, not only I have a third sister. The third sister is from the eldest aunt, the Crown Princess's sister, the seventh brother's sister, the fifth sister... the eldest daughter of my father and mother, my own sister, the only... the elder sister."

Li was feeling a little uncomfortable, and moved his body carefully, and his face turned pale. It was originally human nature to have no third and fifth girls in the Dingguo Mansion. For example, the Dingguo Mansion has a big family and a large family and many children, so one or two people cannot stop. This was normal, and Li never thought about it too much.

But now, after hearing Xie Xuan's words, even if she doesn't continue to talk, Li can guess the matter.

Sure enough, Xie Xuan's next words proved Li's guess, but it was still far more tragic than her imagination.

"The eldest uncle died in the battlefield. Logically, the title of the Dingguo Duke's Mansion should be inherited by the Dafang. However, at that time, the only descendant of the Dafang was the Third Brother. Some people in the court opposed it because the third brother was a concubine and was not suitable to inherit the Duke's position. But at that time, the border was in trouble again. It was my grandmother who made a quick decision to enter the palace to ask for the title of Duke and gave it to her father. However, the eldest uncle could not understand. Maybe she was too sad and lost her mind because of the sudden death of her uncle. On weekdays, she was fine in front of everyone, and there was nothing unusual, but she just didn't say much. In private, she was afraid that there were many complaints, and those words were just heard by the third sister."

"The third sister was just a nine-year-old child at that time. On weekdays, she was spoiled by her aunt. When she heard this, she became resentful. One day, she stopped my fifth sister and scolded all the words she heard from her aunt, saying that her father had coveted the position of Duke early on, so she used tricks to hinder the heirs of the big house early on. Now she is taking advantage of the situation to rob. I am afraid that even the death of my uncle is related to my father. The fifth sister is said to be a tough person, how can she hear the third sister?

Slandering his father? At that moment, he couldn't help but talk back, and the two started arguing. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the servants serving each reported to the eldest aunt and mother. At that time, there were only two ignorant little girls left. Maybe the third sister and fifth sister were talking and angry, but they started to fight. No one could tell what was going on... In short, by the time the eldest aunt and mother arrived, the third sister and fifth sister, and the two little girls had been in the lake for a long time..."

Although he was mentally prepared, Li couldn't help but gasp in the air when he heard this.

"At that time, it was the twelfth month of winter, and the lake water had only formed a thin layer of ice. As soon as the person fell, it was soaked in the ice water... Even if he was rescued, it might not be better... The two little girls were also panicked, thinking that they could save the person, and perhaps they could still make the punishment, but they didn't want to..."

Xie Xuan hid the end of the conversation, but there was no need for Xie Xuan to say it more bluntly, and Li could guess it.

"Since then... my mother hated my aunt, and my aunt... I may not have a little hated her. Now, although we still live in the same mansion, we still look like a family? But, you are guarding against me, and I am guarding against you."

Xie Xuan said that there was no lack of sighs. What had happened was no longer irreversible. It is now impossible to explain who is right and who is wrong, but... because it is irreversible, this has become a knot that can never be solved.

Li was also stunned for a moment, only to feel a little astringent in his throat. After a while, he said in a difficult tone, "Auntie... You can't miss it once, you'll miss it again, right? Seventh brother..."

Li did not believe it, and Mrs. Lu did not regret it. If she hadn't said those complaints in front of a child and said it, why would it have hurt both children together? If she was smart enough, Xie Chen, who could no longer regard her as an eyeball, would have hurt her? If she had used hatred to water her since childhood, what would that child look like?

Li didn't dare to think about it, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but want to tremble all over.

"Hope is not." Xie Xuan smiled faintly, "But you must be careful of others. My sister-in-law knows it. She will never be wrong when she is more careful in the future."

Li nodded and had to admit that Xie Xuan's words made sense.

Seeing Li's expression unhappy look, Xie Xuan couldn't help but smile and change the topic, "Sister-in-law wants to know, but I have told you everything my sister-in-law promised to give me, but I haven't seen it yet!"

"Uh?" Li raised his head, his expression still a little dazed, and he didn't understand what Xie Xuan meant.

Xie Xuan pretended to be angry and said, "What? Sister-in-law wants to refuse to admit it? You said, "What do I like? You will never give me all of it!" She looked like a small-minded look.

Only then did Li realize it, and his heart relaxed, and he smiled, "Look at you like that, when did I say I want to go back on my word? But I forgot for a while, OK! Come with me!"

Li said, already stood up and reached out to Xie Xuan.
