This master is fake and cold

Chapter 40 Background

Speaking of this, Chang Le felt a little guilty: "Since I left the palace to build a mansion, I rarely go to pay her respects these days. The queen mother also mentioned to me several times, asking me to spend more time with her, but every time I wait When I think of this matter, I will always be entangled in such and such things, and I can't be free. A few days ago, even the emperor couldn't stand it, and asked me to go to the palace more often, but I always..."

Although such an explanation is reasonable, but for some reason, when it is said, it always makes people feel that something is wrong and seems a bit far-fetched.

Xishi stared at her for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, have you forgotten?"

She looked at her, her eyes filled with unknown sadness: "Have you forgotten all those things?"

Her voice was too low, Chang Le couldn't hear a word clearly, subconsciously asked: "What did you say?"

Xishi shook his head with a wry smile, but swallowed the words whole.That little bit of courage seemed to be snuffed out suddenly by something.She knew that the extravagant thoughts in her heart could only be extravagant after all.

"My life can be finished in a few words, what about you? You haven't told me your story yet." Chang Le looked at Xi Shi.

Xi Shi was slightly startled: "My story..." With a bitter face, she said indifferently: "Actually, there is nothing to say. My life is not much more exciting than others."

Chang Le looked straight at her without flinching: "Tell me about you and the family you grew up in, I want to hear it."

Seeing her persistence, Xi Shi had no choice but to say: "Okay, but it's been too long, maybe I can't remember many things clearly."

Changle said that he didn't care, so Xishi paused for a moment, organized his own language, and then slowly said: "I was born in an ancient family, and this family has a history of thousands of years. Every family The members all know the history of the family, and when our family was at its peak, it was once the ruler of the entire continent."

A look of surprise appeared on Chang Le's face, she always thought that Xi Shi should be a descendant of a declining nobleman, but she never expected that she would have such a great background.No matter how much her family has declined, they were once the rulers of the mainland after all.Ruler of the continent!What concept is this?

Chang Le already knew the vastness of the mainland, although Xi Shi didn't say much, but she had clearly affirmed some of her guesses.The Daqing Dynasty with such a vast territory was just an inconspicuous corner of the mainland.In addition to the Daqing Dynasty, there are countless land boundaries and countless forces in the mainland.A family that once ruled the entire continent... Even if it is now in decline, it is not comparable to ordinary families and power.

"After ruling the mainland for more than three hundred years, the ancestors of the family got tired of this kind of life, took all the clansmen, left the former sphere of influence overnight, and found a deserted place to live in seclusion. After hundreds of years, the family All the clansmen have never stepped into the world again.

Hundreds of years have passed, and outsiders have almost forgotten our family name.In my grandfather's generation, due to the grievances in the family, my grandfather announced the lifting of the ban, and the collateral branch tribes were allowed to re-enter the world.Members of the direct line can walk around in the world, but they are not allowed to have close contacts with any forces. At the same time, they must live in seclusion, and their elders will personally supervise and teach their homework and practice.

After three generations of hard work, when I was born, our family's name was once again circulated in the mainland.However, due to the current division of the mainland, there are many forces that oppose each other, and the collateral clans of the family will inevitably fight with each other after they choose to join a certain force.Some people even want to occupy the family's previous reputation alone, and the separation of the family is a foregone conclusion.My grandfather was tired of these scheming, and in a fit of anger, he drew all the collateral branches out of the genealogy, and since then, the only legitimate lineage left in our family is the direct line.

The lineage is thin, and in my father's generation, he is the only son.My mother is just an ordinary hunter's daughter. She has two sons and a daughter. I am the youngest child.When my mother gave birth to me, my mother had a difficult labor, and my father wanted to protect the adult, but in the end, by mistake, he saved me. "

Chang Le gently hugged her shoulders, and smiled at her at Xi Shi, with a calm expression: "I was born to bear the blood debt of my relatives. But my other relatives did not feel half-hearted towards me because of this. As the youngest youngest daughter, It's a daughter's family again, and I have been the most favored child in the family since I was a child. My father taught my two elder brothers very strictly, and the family rules are even more strict on men, but only women are tolerant to the extreme in all aspects.

The father said that what the family hopes to bring to the daughter's family is glory and pride, not a heavy burden.The responsibilities of the family are naturally borne by the men, so the growth of the men must be supervised and corrected.Men, you must become men who stand upright in order to truly support the backbone of the family. "

Xi Shi's voice was flat, with almost no ups and downs, but anyone could hear the strong pride in her tone.That is the arrogance engraved in the blood and deep into the bone marrow, and it is the pride of one's surname and blood from the heart.For a family, it is definitely not easy for their own people to do this.

"Very strange family rules." Chang Le couldn't help but comment.Since ancient times, which family has not regarded the daughter's family as a victim and used marriage to maintain the balance between the family and the family.A family like Xi Shi's mouth, at least in the Daqing Dynasty, was absolutely impossible.The controller of the family only cares about how much benefits the women can bring, and who cares about the thoughts of the sacrificed pawns?

Especially for the royal family where Changle is located, too many princesses in history have become victims of power struggles.She had to rejoice that it was an age of peace, and even though there were wars, they were just small fights.She had to be thankful that even though her father was the lord of a country, he still had some place for family affection in his heart.At least for now, she can still control her own destiny for the time being.

"My eldest brother is 11 years older than me, and my second brother is four years older than me. When I can remember, my eldest brother has already started to learn how to run a family from my father. Although the family has not had contact with the outside world for hundreds of years, there are still serious businesses outside. Otherwise, how can we support such a large group of people on the basis of no source of income? The second brother was detained by his grandfather all day long, and he was often taken care of by the family. Although I also started to learn some knowledge from my grandfather, it was more difficult than the second brother It's much easier. As long as you fulfill the rules of your grandfather and father, you can spend the rest of your time just making troubles everywhere without worrying about being punished. The second brother often complains that he must have done too many crimes in his previous life to be reincarnated into this family and become a member of this family. of a boy.

Later, when I started to practice, my talent was better than those of my peers, and I practiced very quickly.In a few more years, I provoked my peers from all major forces around me. At that time, I was young and inexperienced, and my words were mean and vicious. Every time I won, I would shame those young talents who claimed to be young and promising. Created many enemies for the family.During that time, the eldest brother and the second brother even dropped their business and ran around to apologize to me.Father and grandpa laughed heartily when they heard about it, instead of stopping it, they all announced to close the door to thank the guests, and dumped all the matter on the elder and second elder brothers. "

Speaking of these bland and happy pasts, the curve of Xishi's outline is obviously softened a lot.To some extent, her background is actually very similar to that of Changle.He is also born in a noble family and has an incomparably noble status.The same food and clothing, also grew up in the doting of relatives.From Xi Shi's words, she could tell that when they were teenagers, they also had a youthful and frivolous side.

But maybe the magic power of growth is too great, or there are too many experiences, one has been smoothed by time, and the other has been forced to suppress all nature.

"Some bad things happened later. Some people broke into our territory, and they wantonly slaughtered my relatives. Among the direct family members, only I survived by chance, and bad news continued to spread from the outside branches. Later, I was She was saved by His Majesty, and I have been following her for many years, until now, I have followed her here."

The happy life was suddenly completely shattered. After years of separation, occasionally, Xi Shi still felt that he was in a dream.When she wakes up from the dream, the second brother will slap her on the forehead heavily, grinning and scolding: "Lazy guy! You can fall asleep while practicing! If grandpa and father see me like this, they will have to deal with my family law again." .The treatment of this heart-rending man from the Bogu family! It’s chilling! It’s so chilling! In the future, I must leave the family and set up my own family!”

She rubbed her eyes at that time, and replied lazily: "Tsk! The guy who eats inside and out. Boguye, if grandpa hears your words, I will break your two legs now!"

"Who are they?" Chang Le's question interrupted her deep thoughts,

Xishi lowered his eyes and said nothing.Her nose was sore, and her eye sockets were constantly aching.For so many years, she has avoided recalling.When the scar is torn, the feeling of heartache is always painful.After waiting for a long time, the slightly trembling lips finally calmed down, and she pulled the corners of her mouth reluctantly, forced a smile: "Don't mention it, it's all over."

"Has it really passed?" Chang Le watched her quietly, with a clear understanding in her deep eyes, she said, "I can see the hatred in your eyes when you look at me."

"tell me why?"
