Chapter 158 [Deep Mindfulness] (Part 1)
Lan Ximei said disdainfully: "My mother is the princess who is married by the matchmaker, she..." Although she had not finished speaking, she could also see her disdain for Ye Qinghong's identity. In fact, it is no wonder that Ye Qinghong's mother Margar is the French lover of Prince Rui Yixun. Few people know her identity. What makes Lan Ximei even more disdainful is that Margar comes from a fairy background, and such a person will definitely not be recognized by the royal family, and Ye Qinghong, the illegitimate daughter, is not worthy of having the identity of a princess.
But times have changed and dynasties have changed. Now let alone princess, even Emperor Xuantong is just a title. In the Republic of China, which advocates democracy and freedom, such titles will only make a joke. Apart from the memories of wealth and glory in the past, they can no longer bring any glory to the royal family.
Luo Lie remembered the origin of his acquaintance with Ye Qinghong, and had gradually sorted out the whole story. Although he accepted Ye Qinghong's conditions, in his opinion, Ye Qinghong's revenge had no clear purpose. What role Mu Sanshou played was something he could not understand.
Judging from the previous interrogation of Liu Decheng, Mu Sanshou and Liu Decheng should be half-brothers, and Mu Sanshou and Prince Rui Yixun have a close relationship. He is the person he trusts most, but why did Ye Qinghong's hatred ultimately point to Prince Hong Zaixiang?
Prince Hong Zaixiang never showed up from beginning to end. His terror and insidiousness came from word of mouth from others. As Lan Ximei revealed her original identity, Luo Lie cleared the clouds and saw a lot of the truth. He understood why Lan Ximei wanted to kill Xiao Tianxing, and also understood that Lan Ximei and Ye Qinghong were both revenge, but Lan Ximei had more initiative.
Luo Lie asked a crucial question: "Your father is still alive?"
Lan Ximei said coldly: "Die! Even if he is alive, I will kill him with my own hands!"
Her reaction was obviously beyond Luo Lie's expectations. It should be said that this was not a reaction for a child at all, nor even a reaction that a normal person could make. Combined with Lan Ximei's previous crazy behavior, Luo Lie quickly accepted the reality.
Lan Ximei seemed to consider that he could not understand her words and explained: "Although I really want him to die, I must do it myself. Whoever kills him is my irreconcilable enemy."
Luo Lie quietly looked at Lan Ximei with slightly red eyes, and suddenly realized that Lan Ximei's growth history must be extremely miserable. What a harsh and difficult environment created a complex and contradictory individual like her.
Lan Ximei said: "Even without the Republic of China, the Qing Dynasty would collapse sooner or later. The entire court was only a few people who were dedicated to the country from top to bottom. Everyone knew that the building would collapse, and most of them were considering their own interests. Prince Rui Yixun could not avoid the common people. He used the trust of Lao Fu in him, used public tools for his private use, and abused the law. His close confidants Liu Tongsi, Xiao Tianxiong, Ren Zhongchang, and Liu Decheng, all of them had their own ulterior motives. None of these people had good things!"
Although Luo Lie did not have the chance to meet Yixun, Lan Ximei's evaluation of Yixun's four confidants was very pertinent.
Lan Ximei said: "These four people are either fierce, cunning, greedy, or shameless. Seeing that Yixun has plundered so much wealth, they are naturally jealous and eager to divide it up and take it for themselves. However, their status cannot be done so much after all, and even if they can get rid of Yixun smoothly, they cannot occupy Yixun's property. But at this time, Mu Sanshou found them. Mu Sanshou was scheming and naturally would not show up in public. Liu Decheng played the greatest role in this."
Luo Lie suddenly understood why Liu Decheng had to take the initiative to die that night, because after Liu Decheng understood that his relationship with Mu Sanshou had been exposed, Lan Ximei would never let him live. All what Lan Ximei said was reasonable. It seems that Mu Sanshou is the planner hidden behind him. As for Prince Hong Zaixiang, this mysterious figure who has never appeared has been confirmed to die in Lan Ximei's mouth. Luo Lie could even conclude that his death must be related to Mu Sanshou and others. Only in this way can we explain Lan Ximei's revenge on these people by any means.
Lan Ximei said: "If you want to openly annex Prince Rui's property and to escape from others' eyes and ears, you must find a person with a considerable status and status in the court. This person must be deeply trusted by Lord Lafayette. After they thought it through, they found my father."
Luo Lie had to admire the plans of Mu Sanshou and others at this time. Each link was calculated so accurately, judging the situation and leveraging the force. Even the two princes of the Qing court were played with by them. Of course, this was also related to the turmoil of the current situation. If the Qing court had not collapsed and the entire dynasty was in chaos and disorder, their plan would not have been so easy to succeed. To complete such a plan, one must have the right time, place, and people, and neither is missing.
Lan Ximei shook her head, and a crystal-clear tears appeared in her eyes: "These people have their own ulterior motives. They used my father to get rid of Prince Rui, and wanted to use the revolutionary party to get rid of my father. In this way, they could finally take Prince Rui's wealth God for themselves without knowing it. Among them, Mu Sanshou made the most profit because Prince Rui trusted him until his death and would not betray him, and even let the French lover find him."
Luo Lie thought to himself that Liu Tongsi, Ren Zhongchang, Xiao Tianxiong, and Liu Decheng should be the one who knows the most about the inside story. Judging from Ye Qinghong's previous revenge, Mu Sanshou has never been exposed. Mu Sanshou's wealth is obviously far more than the total of the above people. In other words, after Margar found Mu Sanshou, Mu Sanshou had already controlled the secrets that others didn't know. But more than one person said that Prince Hong is still alive. Luo Lie looked at Lan Ximei with tears in her eyes and suddenly figured out the key point.
Luo Lie whispered: "So you deliberately created the illusion that Prince Hong is still living in the world? It made their internal camp panic, and then revealed through some means that Mu Sanshou's secret of betraying others, causing them to kill each other?"
Lan Ximei raised her head, and shed tears that were almost bursting out of her eyes, and said softly: "If Margar hadn't found Mu Sanshou, Mu Sanshou wouldn't have known that Prince Rui had hidden a lot of wealth overseas. To be honest, Prince Rui was really in love with his French lover, but he died too suddenly and had no time to explain it clearly."
Luo Lie said: "Prince Rui is not a fool either. How did Mu Sanshou swallow his overseas property?"
Lan Ximei said: "Mu Sanshou is not that easy to do, so he must pretend to be hypocritical to win Margaret's trust. Ye Qinghong will not tell you that Mu Sanshou once got married once, just to Margaret. He also lied to that silly woman, saying that it was to avoid Ye Qinghong's identity being exposed. Margaret died of illness shortly after marriage. Fortunately, she left a hand to Mu Sanshou, and half of the huge wealth was left to her and Yixun's daughter."
Luo Lie said: "Why didn't he attack Ye Qinghong?"
Lan Ximei sighed and said, "Maybe it's because the tiger poison does not eat the baby. After all, he raised Ye Qinghong for several years, so it is impossible for them to have no feelings for each other. Perhaps Margaret left enough to make Mu Sanshou beat the mouse and be afraid of it."
Luo Lie nodded and said, "You will start revenge after you know these things."
Lan Ximei said: "I was born for hatred. I can't feel any joy of living except for revenge." At this point, her tears finally burst out from her eyes. Her head tilted over and leaned against Luo Lie's shoulder. Luo Lie did not avoid it this time.
Lan Ximei did not act like a greedy move this time, but just sobbed silently, and tears quickly wet Luo Lie's shoulders. Luo Lie felt sympathy for her by her for the first time. He touched the handkerchief in his pocket, but hesitated when he touched the edge of the handkerchief. He remembered another name of Lan Ximei. Her life experience could not be the reason for her betrayal of the nation. Perhaps in her heart, she only regarded her as a princess who lost her country, but never regarded her as a member of this country.
"So, you join the Japanese intelligence department to help them steal all kinds of intelligence and make accomplices for their forces to invade China?" Although Luo Lie's voice was not loud and he did not have a tone of questioning, every word was sonorous and powerful.
Lan Ximei bit her lip and said, "My mother is the princess who is married to the media. How could she be a Japanese? I am a Chinese!" She looked at Luo Lie with red eyes and said, "The mastermind behind the killing of my father is the Japanese. My mother died at their hands, how could I be willing to serve them?"
Luo Lie looked at her eyes quietly, trying to see the fraud and disguise from it, but Luo Lie quickly gave up again.
Lan Ximei has never shed so many tears today in her life. Perhaps it was because she was disguised in front of others for too long, and even she herself didn't know whether she was Lan Ximei or Ryoko Songxue. When she poured out the secrets hidden in her heart for many years to Luo Lie, she felt for the first time that she was so lonely and helpless, and felt that she was so aggrieved.
Luo Lie looked at Lan Ximei with tears in her eyes. It was the first time that her human nature also contained a sincere part. Although this sincere confession was to use her own preparation, it was at least much better than starting from deception. He took out the handkerchief and handed it to Lan Ximei.
Lan Ximei did not go to pick her up, but rushed into his arms.
Luo Lie was about to push her away from her arms in a gentler way, but he heard the sound of cars in the distance. Looking along the sound, a black car left in the dust.
Lan Ximei giggled: "It's a sparrow. I'm afraid I won't come to you again if I leave this time."
