The First Traitor [Rebirth]

On March [-]th, the ancestral hall of Yuan's family, who hadn't held a happy event for a long time, was going through the adoption process.The close relatives of the Yuan family gathered together, Yuan Xu, who was still in his infancy, was also hugged by the nanny, listening to Yuan Ye's "Farewell to the ancestors", because he was too young, he couldn't understand anything, so he could only twist Look around with your head.

There are various speculations about Yuan actually adopting the current only heir under the names of Yuan Li and Nan Lian, among them there are many speculations that it was for Princess Shang.It turned out that he didn't talk much the whole time, but Ping Yao was not arranged to show up, so he could only hide in the mansion, sneaking into Yuan Ye's study room while no one was in the mansion.

After the ceremony, Yuan Xu officially became the child of Yuan Li and Nan Lian, but this "father" was reduced to "uncle" again.Everyone felt that they should not congratulate Yuan Jing, so they turned to congratulate Nan Lian.

In their view, even if Nan Lian is the princess, there are only two choices, either to remarry after the three-year mourning for Yuan Li and the emperor's decree, or to guard Yuan Xu and raise him. The one who died for her.

Back at Yuan Mansion, Yuan Ye prepared a little wine to treat these close relatives, and Nan Lian's task was considered complete in their view, so they went back to their room to rest on the grounds of being tired.It turned out that he didn't stay too long, and took the opportunity to leave after drinking two sips with them.

Yuan went back to the room and took out the prepared birthday gift for Nan Lian and was going to find her, when suddenly he heard the sound of something knocking on the window.She turned her head vigilantly, but she didn't see anyone. She became more and more sure that someone had come in, so she secretly picked up the dagger that was placed not far away...

The curtain was blown by the wind and fluttered gently.It turned out that she saw a black and graceful figure behind the curtain, she knew that now was the time when Yuan Mansion's defenses were the most lax, if someone wanted to kill her, Hua Rui or Mai Ran would be too late.

"The fact that you came here without disturbing the guards in the mansion shows that your excellency is not low. But when you came in, you deliberately made noise to attract Yuan's attention?" Yuan actually smiled coldly.

The man paused, then lifted the curtain and walked in front of Yuan Jing.The man was wearing night clothes, and covered his head and face with a black cloth, only a pair of eyes were exposed.Through those clever eyes, Yuan couldn't see any murderous intent there, and he was particularly confused: "Aren't you going to report yourself?"

He untied the black cloth covering his head, and a head of black and smooth black hair poured down, Yuan was startled, blinked, not quite understanding what the unexpected visitor was going to do.And the man tore off the scarf again, revealing his face in front of Yuan Jing.The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and that trace of joy was hard to hide.

"Xiaoxue?!" Yuan actually exclaimed in surprise.

After two years of absence, Yuan Mixue is no longer as green and immature as before. At this time, her face is slowly growing, with delicate features, but her complexion is not as fair as before.It's just that her travels abroad have made her look more determined and energetic, and she is no longer like the cowardly person who would only submit to other people's arrangements two years ago.

"Second brother!" Yuan Mixue smiled, and tiptoed to Yuan Jing's body, hugging her.

Yuan Jing let go of her hand, and the dagger slipped from her hand. She rubbed Yuan Mixue's head, but found that her forehead had reached her chin.It's only been two years, but Yuan Jing's memory of Yuan Mixue even stays in the little girl who only reached her chest.

"Xiaoxue!" Yuan actually wanted to laugh out loud, Yuan Mixue was not only fine, but also improved in martial arts, she was also much happier.This is something that this deep palace that will imprison her for the rest of her life cannot give, and it seems that she did not make a mistake in her initial decision.

Yuan Mixue backed away and stared at Yuan Jing.Yuan Jing smiled and said: "Why, I don't know the second brother, so I stare at the second brother?"

Yuan Mixue shook her head and said, "It's just that I haven't seen my second brother for a long time, and I want to see all the second brothers I haven't seen in these years."

Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "Xiaoxue's martial arts has improved a lot, and she's also a lot more playful!" After laughing, she felt a little emotional, "It's been two years. Have you met dad? "

Yuan Mixue's expression was a little unnatural, and he said immediately: "Not yet...Second brother, at home..."

Yuan actually believed that Yuan Mixue must have heard a lot of things about Yuan's family on the way back, and these things could not be finished in a day or two, she needed to speak slowly.But what she wants to know most is how Yuan Mixue has been doing these years.

"There is a happy event at home today, you still follow me to see dad, I think dad misses you very much." Yuan Jing said.

Yuan Mixue suddenly grabbed Yuan Jing's arm, with a hint of unbearable eyes: "Second brother, don't tell dad that I'm back."

"Why?"

Yuan Mixue lowered her eyes for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Maybe the second brother will think that what I said next is unfilial, but I don't want daddy to know that I'm back, because I don't know if daddy will allow me to continue to follow me." Master is practicing martial arts."

Once a bird is free, being imprisoned back in the cage again is like death.Yuan Mixue didn't want to go back to her original home to be constrained by dogma and rules. She gradually found her goal, and she didn't want to give up the hard-won freedom.

"Xiaoxue was still a delicate person when she left home, and now she has grown up." Yuan Jing laughed again, "Well, since you don't want Dad to know that you are back, how about you sneak a look at him? "

"I've already seen it." Yuan Mixue muttered, "Even the second brother's child..."

Yuan was silent for a while, knowing that Yuan Mixue decided to come back after observing Yuan's house for a long time.But when she came back, Mai Ran didn't notice it. Logically speaking, it couldn't be that Yuan Mixue's martial arts were better than Mai Ran's, and that Mai Ran helped her hide it from everyone.

Sighing, Yuan Jing said again: "In that case, why don't you follow me to see sister-in-law?"

Yuan Mixue thought of the very dignified sister-in-law in memory, but with a trace of alienation and indifference, and hesitated.Yuan Jing said: "Today is your sister-in-law's birthday. Because of your elder brother, I can't celebrate her, but the gift is still coming. If she knows that you are back, she will be happy."

Yuan Mixue rubbed the corner of her clothes, and asked without answering, "Why did the second brother's jade pendant change?"

Yuan actually lowered his head and saw the jade pendant from Nan Lian hanging on his waist, although he didn't understand why Yuan Mixue asked such a question, but thought she just had a deep memory of her original jade pendant before she left.Recalling Yuan Xueli who fell into the river and disappeared, he said: "The original jade pendant...is gone."

Yuan actually didn't want to talk about those things on such a day, but instead asked Yuan Mixue: "Why are you asking for a crime like a teacher? The second brother wants to ask you instead, is the rabbit that the second brother gave you okay?"

Yuan Mixue's eyes flickered, and she muttered, "I didn't ask the teacher to ask the crime." Then he hesitated even more, "Master said, when I entered her school, I was no longer the daughter of the official family. The benevolence of a woman. And when you practice martial arts, you can be ruthless, and you can no longer care about tender things, so... let me kill it with my own hands."

Thinking of that cute rabbit, Yuan Mixue's nose was still sore, but she held back her tears so that they did not fall.

When Xuan Lanzi saw her hugging the rabbit and never left her body, he said: "You entered my door and called me master, then I will teach you the first thing - kill your rabbit."

"This is given to me by my second brother, I can't kill it!" Yuan Mixue tightly guarded the gray-haired rabbit, and it knew nothing about its own danger, it still lay in Yuan Mixue's arms.

"You can't even kill a rabbit. Even if you learn peerless martial arts in the future, you will not be able to survive in this world. Those who have never had blood on their hands will only stain other people's clothes with their own blood!"

"I don't kill or kill, but I can still be a hero and uphold righteousness!"

Xuan Lanzi looked at her and suddenly smiled: "It is because of the benevolence of a woman like you that many chivalrous men will die at the hands of the enemy? Have you ever understood that if your father and second brother were women Can human benevolence gain a foothold in the court?"

Yuan Mixue confronted Xuan Lanzi for a long time, but she couldn't bear Xuan Lanzi's persecution. She cried and left a gash on Gray Rabbit's neck with a dagger.Xuan Lanzi said: "If you don't use force like this, it can't be killed with one blow, it will only be tortured by you more painfully."

She let out a loud cry of "Wow", and then made the Gray Rabbit lose its struggle with all her heart.Looking at her blood-stained hands, she cried even more heartbreakingly.

Yuan Jing's eyes darkened, and she comforted Yuan Mixue and said, "Your master is right, if my father and I were merciful, the Yuan family would not have what it is today. It's just a rabbit. If it's gone, the second brother will send you off later." That's right."

Yuan Mixue shook her head: "No need for second brother, it is unique, if second brother gives me thousands of them, it will not be it anymore."

Yuan actually gave up the idea of ​​going to Nanlian's place first, she pulled Yuan Mixue to sit down, and decided to chat with Yuan Mixue first.Yuan Mixue asked, "Second brother, isn't he going to celebrate sister-in-law's birthday?"

"Second brother has no reason to abandon you and just pass by. Tell me, don't you even want to see your sister-in-law?"

"That's not true, it's just..." Yuan Mixue hesitated to speak, and changed the subject, "By the way, second brother, is that child Xu'er?"

"Well, that's your nephew, do you want to give him a hug? He's at your sister-in-law's."

"Xu'er, what about the other child?" Yuan Mixue asked again.

Yuan actually knew that Yuan Mixue must know about Yuan Xueli's affairs, that's why she asked this question.She stroked her thoughts: "That child's name is Xueli. Every year in the snow, I often get drunk with plum blossoms..."

"Xueli, that's a good name!" Yuan Mixue smiled, "Second brother, don't be sad, that child believes in auspicious signs and will be fine."

Yuan actually felt that Yuan Mixue was getting more and more weird, but she wanted to know what happened to Yuan Mixue these years and whether she was bullied by others: "Tell me about your two years before it's still early."

Yuan Mixue didn't know until she left Yuan's family, it turns out that the most difficult thing in the world is not being able to marry according to her own wishes.She has seen women who were abducted into the brothel and could not get out. She wanted to save them, but almost got herself trapped in it; Beating people to death; she has also seen things where profiteers join forces with the government to deprive others of their wealth, wives and daughters...

She deeply realized that when a person has no ability to protect himself, his fate is controlled by others.If she has no strength to restrain the chicken, she will have no room to resist when encountering the enemy, but can only be slaughtered by others.In order to survive and help more and more people, she was determined to learn martial arts well, and during the days when she wandered around with Xuan Lanzi, she did a lot of things to eliminate the strong and help the weak, which made her even more determined to Go down this road.
