Chapter 314 Sunset and Sunrise
I squinted my eyes, looked at the sunset outside the window, and continued to think.
When telling a story, should you tell half and keep the other half?
Or, half true and half false?
It's all fine. It's better to adapt to circumstances.
The most important thing is that everything has to wait until I ask Chen Ji that question before I can make any plans.
"If Concubine Yun really is a resurrected spirit, then the crime the Lin family has accused her of is true. Is this spirit possessed by Concubine Yun still your mother, Chen Ji?"
……
After Chen Ji and Luo Xiaoran arrived, I first disturbed their minds by revealing my time travel experience. This would help prevent my fabricated story from being exposed.
Then, Luo Xiaoran really asked me about the truth about the deaths of Niu Dan and Li Heng.
Although I didn't kill them personally, I bear a great responsibility for their deaths, and I cannot deny this in any way.
But I can't tell the truth. I have to make Luo Xiaoran feel pain and hatred. Only pain and hatred can make her willing to leave Hexi Village!
So, in the story, I provided a legitimate reason for myself to go to Prince Yan's Mansion, because I wanted to fake the death of Chen Xingchen so that Chen Lingyi would never set her sights on him again.
I also fabricated a tragic cause of death for Li Heng, concealed the fact that I brought Niu Dan to the Prince of Yan's Mansion, and replaced it with Chen Lingyi's people killing him and sending him to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
I also specifically pointed out that it was Chen Lingyi who ordered the bodies of Niu Dan and Chen Xingchen to be placed together in order to let Luo Xiaoran taste the pain of losing two younger brothers at the same time.
After hearing this, Luo Xiaoran really blamed herself. I saw endless anger, resentment and hatred in her.
I achieved my goal.
Chen Ji changed the subject and asked about the matter of reincarnation that he was interested in. I led the topic to Luo Xiaoran, and then to Yun Fei. Finally, I asked the question.
"If your mother, Concubine Yun, is really a resurrected spirit, then the crime the Lin family has accused her of is true. Is the spirit possessed by Concubine Yun still your mother?"
"Of course not!"
Chen Ji denied it without hesitation. He only acknowledged the period before and after the reincarnation.
Xu Xiaojing is not his mother, but just a wandering ghost attached to his mother. If he wants revenge, he has to find the person who killed his mother Yun Shuying, that is, Lin Yueyi.
I understand Chen Ji's choice. If I were him, I would also think that Xu Xiaojing just entered Yun Fei's body by chance. She is not Yun Fei at all!
But everyone overlooked one point, Xu Xiaojing died because of her identity as Concubine Yun!
She was blessed by God and woke up on Concubine Yun's corpse. Less than a year had passed, but she died in such a tragic way because she had shouldered the karma of Concubine Yun!
Who will avenge her?
Looking at Chen Ji's determined expression, I was silent for a long time. Then let's pretend that... Xu Xiaojing had never existed and has always been Concubine Yun.
Concubine Yun was murdered twice in total. The first time was when Lin Yueyi designed to kill her by falling off a cliff, and the second time was when Lin Yueyi and Jiang Bin concocted the crime of "resurrection from the dead" together.
In this way, Jiang Bin also became Chen Ji's enemy who killed his mother.
"Zhu Xiaojing didn't travel through time. There were two people who traveled through time 20 years ago, Li Yifan and me."
I recited this setting to myself and continued to tell my story, the story I made up.
I told Chen Ji and Luo Xiaoran about how I met Li Yifan and Yun Fei. Although they were together, Li Yifan traveled through time to become Jiang Bin, but Yun Fei did not.
I emphasized that Li Yifan read criminal investigation novels because when I first met Luo Xiaoran and she interpreted the divination for me, I made my inference based on her appearance.
I told her at that time that this skill was taught to me by a friend of mine, Li Yifan, who likes to read criminal investigation novels and has shown me some basic skills in observing people's words and expressions.
In the middle of the story, I got tired of telling stories and took a breath.
Chen Ji took this opportunity to ask Luo Xiaoran about the words in my story that he didn't understand.
As I watched Luo Xiaoran carefully and thoughtfully explain modern words to Chen Ji, I seemed to see Xu Xiaojing telling me the content of her conversation with Li Yifan that I couldn’t understand. Those days were so beautiful!
I went on to tell the story of Concubine Yun returning to the palace, Li Yifan returning to the Jiang family, and my arrival in Kyoto.
Soon, Concubine Yun was executed for the crime of "resurrecting the dead", and Li Yifan tried to send me away with a cup of poisoned wine.
My story is over. Through my story, Chen Ji easily guessed that Li Yifan, namely Jiang Bin, gained the support of the Lin family by betraying Concubine Yun, at the cost of Concubine Yun's life.
As expected, he questioned me why I didn't tell him about Jiang Bin. I used provocation to mobilize him and Luo Xiaoran to deal with the Lin and Jiang families together.
Luo Xiaoran really had an expression that said "what does it have to do with me?". I threatened her with the fact that she killed Lin Qianqian and that she was a time traveler, and she immediately guessed that I was spying on her.
One of my proudest moments was quickly discovering that Luo Xiaoran was a time traveler and monitoring her. She was a helper sent to me by God out of pity for me.
But Luo Xiaoran was very angry about this, which was normal. No one would be happy if they were being monitored all the time.
What I didn’t expect was that Luo Xiaoran was very scary when she was angry, and an extremely terrifying aura burst out from her body.
This kind of aura is something I have never seen in Xu Xiaojing and Li Yifan, who are also time travelers. I feel like something is out of my control.
Unless Luo Xiaoran tells me voluntarily, I will never know what her livelihood is in modern times.
I told Luo Xiaoran how I discovered that she was a time traveler. In exchange, Luo Xiaoran also told me what she did in her previous life.
Selling summer melon?
Obviously, Luo Xiaoran was lying.
However, I don't care anymore.
Originally, I could continue waiting. I have already waited for twenty years, so what if I wait another twenty years?
I believe that I will eventually wait for the day when Chen Ji destroys the Lin family and the Jiang family!
But today, the bloodstains all over the floor of Prince Yan's Mansion and the tragic deaths of Li Heng and Niu Dan make me feel deeply regretful and tired.
After sitting in silence all night, I felt a little cold and my strength was gradually fading away. A blurry figure appeared in front of me. It was my master, and there was reproach in his eyes.
Master, Huineng committed such a sin of killing because of his obsession. If you were still alive, you would definitely punish me severely.
The peach blossom calamity lasts for twenty years.
If Xu Xiaojing knew what I did today, she would definitely be deeply disappointed.
I looked up with a wry smile, and took a last look at Chen Ji and Luo Xiaoran.
Now that the mutual trade is about to be established, the border is stable, Emperor Tianqi and Chen Lingyi are having problems with each other, and the power in Kyoto is surging. It is a good time for you to return to Kyoto.
Whether it is good or bad, I have done all I can. The rest depends on your luck.
Tired!
I squinted my eyes, looked at the sunrise outside the window, and slowly fell asleep.
