One Thousand Two Hundred and Ten: Zhao Shao's Death (8)
Xie didn't wait long, and Li Yun appeared in front of him.
"I heard from Mr. Han that you want to see me?" Li Yun was wearing a strong outfit, with wide shoulders and narrow waist. If the salted fish in the live broadcast saw it, he would definitely set off a frenzy of licking the screen again, but he didn't realize it , sitting beside Xie Ze's bed in a seemingly casual posture.
Xie is a seriously injured patient. Currently he can only open his mouth to speak, move his eyes, and barely tilt his head.
His gaze was firmly fixed on Li Yun's face, and he stared at it for a long time without blinking, until his eyes became dry.
"Like, it really looks like—"
The more I look at it, the more I feel that Li Yun is exactly like my uncle when he was young, but the young man in front of him is a little more reckless and wild than Xie Qian, and a little less scholarly. If Li Yun's eyebrows and eyes were a little gentler, and his figure was a little thinner, it is estimated that they would be more similar.
Li Yun's expression was not surprised, he looked at Xie and turned his head with some difficulty, and offered to help Xie adjust his posture.
"You, can you tell me your father's name?"
Xie Ze looked at Li Yun earnestly, his black and white eyes were very clear and clean, which made people feel good at a glance.
Li Yun said softly, "My father Xie Qian, it is said that his ancestral home is in Huanning County."
Xie Ze's mood fluctuated violently, and he was so excited that he wanted to jump up, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he pulled the wound, causing him to cry out in pain.
"You, are you telling the truth?"
Xie Ze gritted his teeth and endured the pain, staring at Li Yun with eyes full of steam.
Li Yun said amusedly, "As a child, how can you remember your father's name wrong?"
Xie Ze was startled, his feverish and swollen brain finally began to cool down, allowing him to sort out his thoughts.
According to Mr. Han Yu, the person in front of him already knew the blood relationship between the two of them.
"Do you know that your father was born in the Xie family?" Xie Ze asked tentatively.
Li Yun said, "Of course I know."
"Since Uncle was not killed, why have you not taken you to recognize your ancestors after so many years?" Xie Ze suddenly thought of Li Yun's surname, his expression became strange, and he faltered and asked, "Could it be that Uncle has resentment in his heart?" , resent the family for not standing up for him?"
Now it was Li Yun's turn to lose track of the rhythm.
Xie Qian can't blame the family for this matter, can he?
If you really want to say it is evil, Xie Qian caused trouble, Xie can only remove him, and use this method to protect him in disguise.
Although Huanning Xie's family is one of the four masters of Dongqing, they are not arrogant enough to overthrow the royal family.
The group of aristocratic families is indeed very powerful, playing with power and despising imperial power, but they are not monolithic, and there are also conflicts of interest among the various families, which check and balance each other. If not, how could the Dongqing royal family have a chance to breathe? Already queuing up to take the dogs——
"Father never complained—" Li Yun reassured, "Father jumped off a cliff back then, but unfortunately lost his memory. In a daze, he took me to exile in Fengyi County, Wanzhou. Fortunately, there was a farm that took us in as father and son. Man, it's settled down."
Xie Ze said, "Uncle lost his memory?"
Li Yun said, "I lost my memory for two years, and the blood in my brain slowly disappeared and my memory recovered."
Xie Qian, who had lost his memory, was ignorant, and occasionally went crazy. He wandered around with a baby who was still in his infancy, but he didn't starve Li Yun to death. Fate is hard, luck is good——
Xie Ze showed a bit of pity and sympathy in his eyes.
Although the Xie family's children are not as rich and luxurious as the children of other aristocratic families, they still have no worries about food and clothing.
He couldn't imagine how much Xie Qian and his son had suffered these years.
Li Yun didn't feel bitter, after all, his father taught him all his martial arts.
Thinking about the way other feudal patriarchs get along with their children, Li Yun is considered happy.
Of course, what is even happier is that the time for his father to recover his memory is good enough. Li Yun does not want to bear the nickname of Li Gouzhu for the rest of his life.
"Where is uncle now?" Xie Ze asked.
Li Yun said, "Naturally in Maruzhou. Mother's revenge has been avenged, and the enemy has also been defeated.
He has been in a good mood for the past two years, looking younger and younger. If there is a chance, my father will probably go back to the Xie family. Although he was expelled, his father still remembered Xie Shi. "
Xie Qian's daily routine now consists of eating, sleeping, and teasing his granddaughter. He is extremely leisurely.
If it wasn't for Xie Qian's decades of morning exercise habits, he would probably have gained weight by now.
Xie then asked, "May I ask you a question, why did uncle give you the surname Li?"
Although he was expelled from the family, Xie Qian's heirs are innocent, so how can they take another surname?
Li Yun said, "During the two years when my father lost his memory, I was adopted by that farm family as an adopted son, and I took the surname of that couple. My father was ashamed of the Xie family, and he didn't even think about changing my surname after recovering his memory. Now I'm used to it, so I will change my surname again." If so, I'm afraid it's wrong—"
Of course, this was the reason Xie Qian gave Li Yun, but he didn't tell him the real reason.
Xie Qian, as an influential figure of the previous generation, saw Jiang Pengji's position early on.
If Li Yun recognized that his ancestor Guizong had something to do with the behemoth Xie family, it is hard to guarantee that Xie family would not use Li Yun's connection to intervene in Jiang Pengji's power. Li Yun was caught in the middle, and his position was too awkward. It would be fine if it would be beneficial to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan, but Li Yun was not a direct descendant who grew up in the Xie family, and his relationship with the family's interests was almost zero. The disadvantages of acknowledging ancestors far outweigh the advantages.
Should he turn his head and embrace the family's thigh, or manage the bright future in front of him?
Xie Qian made the choice for Li Yun.
I haven't been unable to enjoy the benefits brought by the family for more than 20 years, so I can't bear the scapegoat brought by the family now.
Therefore, Xie Qian did not let him change back to "Xie" surname, and even Li Yun's eldest daughter was named Li Nuan instead of Xie Nuan.
Xie Ze believed Li Yun's words, and he said, "Uncle experienced a change and became cautious by nature, but I just wronged you."
Isn't it a great grievance that you can't recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?
Li Yun smiled and shook his head.
"There is another matter - I wonder if my cousin can help to find out?" Xie Ze said.
Li Yun just wanted to respond, so he reacted and corrected him.
"Yun is the elder brother."
Xie Ze is the cousin!
Xie smiled and said, "How is this possible? If you count your birth age, you are more than two months younger than me."
Alas--
Li Yun was puzzled, only then did he realize that his father deliberately falsely reported for two years in order to protect him.
He can't always remember.
but--
No matter, he is brother!
"It's clear that Yun is older, and my father will not give the wrong date of birth."
Xie is a wounded person. He has exhausted his energy after talking for so long, and has no energy to argue with Li Yun.
He vaguely skipped the question and said, "My family members are still in Zhejiang County, but Zhejiang County fell into the hands of Lord Lanting a while ago—"
Li Yundao, "I am benevolent, how can I bully women and children? Brothers and sisters are naturally safe."
Xie received an affirmative reply, and the little heart he raised landed safely.
"Wait until my injury is better—" Xie Ze frowned slightly, as if he had made some decision, "...Can you recommend me for me?"
