Chapter 50: Young Master Xie's Family Is Actually a Crown Prince
Chapter 50 The Xie family’s young master is actually the prince
"Su Xiang, reply." Xie Yunsheng's anger did not decrease at all because of everyone's comfort, and even became more angry.
Calm down, calm down, calm down every time, they can't say any other words except calm down.
The important minister fell to the ground, almost burying his face into the ground.
Su Xiang raised her eyes, without any fear in her eyes, and whispered: "Your Highness, these case files were written by Mrs. Xiaguan. My wife and I have been childhood sweethearts since we were young. She knows all about my past, and she takes care of everything in the house."
, she was keeping Xiaguan’s past case files, so she took the initiative to compile Xiaguan’s past.”
"So, are you blaming the Prime Minister?" Xie Yunsheng looked at Su Xiang, his eyes as calm as mountains and rivers, but with a lot of pressure.
Su Xiang slowly lowered his head in the face of doubts. He clearly felt that His Highness no longer trusted him.
"You are a court official. The tasks assigned to you by Gu can only be completed by you and cannot be left to others. Do you understand?"
Xie Yunsheng looked at Su Xiang, with a hint of doubt and coercion in his dark eyes: "Who allows your wife to interfere with the government and military affairs?"
"I am aware of my guilt." Su Xiang lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
Just when Xie Yunsheng was about to say something, Zhang Kang ran over in a hurry, with a hint of panic in his eyes, and whispered: "Your Highness, Eunuch Cao is here."
"What is he here for?" Xie Yunsheng asked doubtfully.
Before Zhang Kang had time to answer, Eunuch Cao had already stepped into the main hall of Akihito Palace and bowed and saluted: "Old slave, see His Highness the Crown Prince. Your Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
After saluting, Eunuch Cao said again: "On your Majesty's order, the old slave brought Shen Situ here to review the official self-examination case with His Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Cao moved to the right and let Shen Luo, who was standing outside the door, appear in front of Xie Yunsheng. Shen Luo slowly stepped into the main hall, staring straight at the bright yellow python robe and amber robe on Xie Yunsheng's body.
There was a hint of shock in his eyes, which then turned into self-mockery.
She had already suspected that Xie Zizhan was the prince, but she was misled by wrong information every time (because she was told every time that Xie Yunsheng was recuperating in Akihito Palace), which made her dispel her suspicions time and time again.
Xie Yunsheng looked at Shen Luo who appeared in front of him, the confusion and helplessness in his eyes fleeting.
He knew that his father would discover his feelings for Shen Luo sooner or later, but he did not expect it to be so soon.
Putting all his thoughts aside, he immediately stopped her from saluting: "Master Shen just solved an unsolved case yesterday. It was very hard. Please sit next to me and have a good rest."
Zhang Liao immediately stepped forward to lead the way for Shen Luo: "Sir, please."
Shen Luo had no time to refuse and followed Zhang Liao's footsteps and sat down to the left of Xie Yunsheng.
Because Shen Luo and Xie Yunsheng jointly verified the official's self-examination, sitting at the same chair did not make anyone think that their behavior was inappropriate.
Only Eunuch Cao, Zhang Liao and others looked at the two people sitting in the main seat with subtle eyes: they really matched each other more and more.
Thinking about it, Eunuch Cao couldn't help but clicked his tongue: It would be great if Lord Shen were not wearing official uniforms but women's clothes.
Xie Yunsheng knew that now was not the time to explain, so he decided to resolve the matter at hand first, and then explain to her the reason for concealing his identity.
Xie Yunsheng turned his attention back to Su Xiang and Li Ao: "When you mention the past, I will save your face."
"Xiang Su, Xiang Li, the two of you stay, and the rest leave."
"I excuse myself." Everyone stood up silently, saluted, and left. But when they stepped out of the main hall of Akihito Palace, they couldn't help but quietly take a look at Su Xiang and Li Ao who were staying in the main hall. There were countless guesses in their hearts.
Li Ao probably guessed that he would be left behind, and sat quietly in his seat, waiting for Xie Yunsheng to ask.
Xie Yunsheng did not ask Li Ao immediately, his eyes still stayed on Su Xiang: "Su Xiang, tell me about your past!"
"Tell me about your first wife!" Xie Yunsheng picked up the tea brewed on the table and asked in a deep voice: "In your wife's narrative, the description of your first wife is too brief. One sentence (one year after marriage, Passed away suddenly, without a word or daughter), it ended. I want to know what happened in this year?"
"Who is your first wife's name? Why did she die suddenly?"
Su Xiang secretly swallowed her saliva, wiped away the dark light in her eyes, slowly raised her head, and replied: "My wife is from the Shen family in Hedong, her name is Shen Xiangwan, she is the legitimate daughter of Duke Shen, and she is the most senior official. The woman I love. Her body is very weak. After getting married, I have been taking good care of her, but I still can't keep her."
"There were frequent bandits in Tengzhou where Xiaguan was located. Xiaguan prevented officials from suppressing the bandits many times. Finally, in the tenth year after Xiang Wan left, all the bandits were wiped out. In the same year, Xianguan's father-in-law, Shen Guogong, died in battle. Xiaguan was heartbroken. He locked up his wife's house intact and sealed it away."
As the words fell, crystal tears fell from Su Xiang's eyes.
Xie Yunsheng looked at the tearful Su Xiang, and his eyes revealed more disbelief and contempt: "Since you love your first wife so deeply, why did you marry the current Wang family less than two years after her death?"
Su Xiang replied softly: "Wang and his wife were close friends. After his wife passed away, he entrusted Xiaguan to take care of his sisters. In order to fulfill his late wife's last wish, Xiaguan married Wang."
What Su Xiang said was so true and sincere that no one could find any flaws, but Xie Yunsheng didn't believe a word of it.
If you were truly in love, how could you change your relationship and marry someone else? If you were really a close friend, how could you change your relationship and marry your best friend's husband after your best friend passed away?
Shen Luo sat silently next to Xie Yunsheng, listening to Su Xiang's narration of the past without saying a word. Her amber eyes never looked at Su Xiang, but looked at her black iron wristband silently.
Xie Yunsheng realized that Shen Luo was very calm and asked softly: "Master Situ has rich experience in investigating cases. After listening to Master Su, does Master Shen have any questions?"
Shen Luo raised his eyes and looked at Su Xiang, his amber eyes resolute and striking: "I heard that Mr. Su has a daughter with both talent and appearance, and outstanding temperament. I would like to know when your birthday is? How old is she this year?"
Su Xiang raised her hand and quietly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and said, "My little girl Su Wanying was born in the fifth year of Tianyou, on the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month. She is twenty years old this year."
Shen Luo looked at Su Xiang and said with a trace of ridicule in his eyes: "I have met your lady once before, and I always feel that your lady does not look like a girl who is twenty years old."
"Nonsense, don't I know when my daughter will be born?" Su Xiang was startled, and then immediately retorted, her eyes filled with anger.
Facing the crazy Su Xiang, Shen Luo spoke again: "I heard that your son became a disciple of Tianqiong Mountain when he was seventeen years old. I want to know why your son has been unwilling to return home for more than ten years?"
Su Xiang's eyes dimmed, and then he whispered: "He is studying abroad, it's not that he doesn't want to go home."
Shen Luo glanced at Su Xiang and fell silent again, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
