Chapter 155 She took credit for everything and deceived everyone!
Outside the door, Lin Xuxi heard the voices of the disciplinary academy disciples. She walked out holding a few books and smiled softly, "Who's outside?"
She knew he was a disciple of the Discipline Institute, but she didn't know why he came. If it was because of seeing Hui, then he should report it to the Sect Master, who would handle the matter.
When she walked out, she saw Jianhui kneeling and frowned. Shouldn't he have been thrown into the Thorn Well? Why was he still crying here?
Crying doesn't count as time. Three years in the Thorn Well, not a moment less. She has to remind the people in the disciplinary institute.
The crying made Lin Xuxi frown slightly and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Master's wife, Jianhui wants to see you and ask you something." Wei Yuyun signaled Jianhui with his eyes, asking him to speak.
Jian Hui suppressed his sobs, wiped away his tears, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Lin Xuxi, I have something to ask you. During my second mission, I was injured by someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but you have always taken care of me?"
Hearing this, Lin Xuxi felt a little strange.
She was surprised to see Jianhui asking this question. Apart from other things, hadn't her jade pendant always been in his hands? Why was he asking this question?
"Is it you! Lin Xuxi, tell me if it's you!" Jianhui knelt and crawled forward desperately. Even though his knees were rubbed so hard by the bluestone tiles, he still stubbornly crawled to the bottom of the stairs.
Jian Hui raised his head, and his face was covered with a mess of tear marks. He couldn't remember how many times he had cried, how many tears he had shed, but this time, when he looked up at the person in front of him, the tears could not be stopped.
His eyes were obviously dry, but tears still flowed out.
He admitted the punishment and his mistake, but he wanted to know the answer that he already knew.
"Is it you? Please tell me!"
He only wants one truth, one answer.
Lin Xuxi looked down at the crying person with cold eyes, feeling very pitiful. If she had felt distressed in the past, she would have felt only mockery in her heart now.
Is it important?
"Lin Xuxi, please tell me! Please tell me, okay?"
Wei Yuyun and Yan Chuhua also took two steps forward and knelt down to plead for Jianhui.
"Master's wife!" Yan Chuhua bit his lower lip and looked at Master's wife with sincere affection.
Lin Xuxi smiled but didn't answer. She just hummed a southern tune, the same one her mother used to sing to coax her to sleep.
This little tune was not only familiar to Jianhui, but also to the other two children when they were young, because the master's wife would hum this little tune to lull them to sleep.
After hearing the tune of humming, Jianhui suddenly lost his strength and fell to the ground.
He knew this tune well; he'd always heard it in his daze when he was injured. But it didn't seem like a humming sound, but a flute. Could it be that what they said was true?
"Is it you? Is it really you?" Jian Hui suddenly knelt up straight, his hands touching the willow-leaf-shaped jade pendant. He asked in tears, "Is it you who left it? Is it you?"
Lin Xuxi glanced at the jade pendant and smiled, "So what? I was playing the flute and you were holding on to it and wouldn't let go. I had to leave urgently, so I had to take off the jade pendant and let you hold it. I was worried that you would be left unattended, so I asked Rong Xin to come over and watch you for a while. After you woke up, you stopped being so close to me."
Lin Xuxi explained with a smile.
It seemed that she could guess what Rong Xin said to Jianhui, but Lin Xuxi just smiled and watched Hui collapse, without any words of comfort.
"No! Impossible."
But Jianhui remembered that little tune. He always remembered it. During his illness, it was this little tune that comforted his heart and allowed him to sleep peacefully.
"Is all this true? Is it true?" Jian Hui suddenly rushed forward, threw himself on the steps and tried to grab the hem of Lin Xuxi's clothes, "Tell me, is this true?"
Lin Xuxi stepped back slightly, avoiding the outstretched hand, and said with a smile: "You asked me and I told you. As for whether I believe it or not, don't you know it in your heart?"
In fact, Jianhui did believe it, but the truth came too suddenly and shattered his cognition over the years, so he subconsciously denied it in order to protect himself.
"How could this happen to me?" Jianhui looked down at the thing that he regarded as his life.
He has been looking at the jade pendant these days to remember Aunt Xin. Now you tell him that it's not Aunt Xin's, it's Lin Xuxi's. Aunt Xin has been lying to you all along, taking advantage of everyone.
It makes me collapse just thinking about it.
"Why, why!" Seeing Hui crying at the top of his lungs, he wanted to ask but didn't know who to ask.
Maybe it’s asking the sky.
"Why should you ask Rong Xin instead of asking me?" Lin Xuxi sighed and shook her head, then turned and walked into the hall with the book in her hands.
Jianhui’s crying became quieter and quieter, and he kept asking while crying, “Why is this happening? Why?” His voice was hoarse but he kept asking.
But no one gave him an answer anymore.
"Alas." Yan Chuhua supported Jianhui, who was crying out loud, and soothed him, "In fact, you, I, even Senior Brother and Jingyue have all been deceived by Rong Xin. Many times, it was clearly Master's wife's care for me, but in the end, somehow, it was Rong Xin's credit. Many times, Master's wife's strict teachings were for our own good, but in the end, they turned into harsh treatment. If you think about it carefully, there are actually many loopholes in what Rong Xin said."
"Why did she lie to me? Why did she lie to me?! She said no one cared about me when I was injured. She said she was isolated in Fushan because Lin Xuxi didn't like her very much. She said I was the same as her, we were both isolated, so why did she lie to me?"
Jian Hui grabbed his brother's hand and asked unwillingly, "Why? Brother Yan, why is she so hypocritical? Why did she save me again and again? Why did she save me when she went with me to receive the mission that day?"
"Jianhui, she didn't need to save you that day at Fuyue Peak. How could a Foundation Establishment Stage thing hurt you at the Golden Core Stage? She was just making excuses for her incompetence, or maybe she had other plans." Wei Yuyun explained.
Jianhui cried with empty eyes, staring blankly into the hall.
"That day, we went on a mission." Jian Hui was stunned for a long time before slowly recounting, "We went out together. We were originally observing from the tree, but she took the initiative to show up and go to the front of the house to observe."
Thinking about it now, Jianhui doesn't understand why Aunt Xin was so careless.
"Perhaps this is her strategy to trick you." Yan Chuhua explained, "I also often use this method to trick Master's Wife. I first lure you into trouble and then pretend to help you, without mentioning why you wouldn't have fallen into the trap if it weren't for her. Then I make you feel grateful to her."
Yan Chuhua had used this method on his master's wife countless times. How could he not understand it?
If he was there that time, he might have easily seen through Rong Xin's plan, but he happened to be going to the new secret realm with his master's wife that time, so he missed it.
"Jianhui, ask yourself. During all these years you've been at Mount Fu, have Master's Wife and us brothers ever treated you with the slightest disdain? You're a crybaby, but why did we ever really mind? Master's Wife has always taught us to be brothers and respectful to each other. You and I grew up together, and while Yan Yao might occasionally say something harsh, he's never really abandoned you."
