Chapter 103

Behind the row of bookshelves on the left hangs a family tree of Xie's family.

In Xiaohua's generation, on the complicated family tree, Xiaohua is the only one left in the direct line, while the others have a few distant cousins, juxtaposed with him in the corner.

I remember Xiaohua said that in the direct line, he is a single heir in this generation.

But if that name is really "Xie Yuchi"...

I walked to the front of the family tree, those names were all embroidered on it with embroidery thread, I thought for a while, and reached out to touch those names, as expected, under the name of the person on the left of "Jie Lianhuan", I felt a faint bump The traces of unevenness, such traces are difficult for ordinary people to find, which means that the pattern was once embroidered here, but it was removed later.

At this time, the answer was obvious, Huo Chi should be Xiaohua's cousin.

"Does the Xie family like to adopt their own son?" I muttered, so did Xie Lianhuan, and Huo Chi—or the so-called "Xie Yuchi".

But at least Xie Lianhuan was still on the Xie family's family tree, and the name Xie Yuchi had almost completely disappeared.

I remember that the Xie family had a period of civil strife over who would be the head of the family, because at that time the Xie family was too young to take over, and Xiaohua, who was raised as a successor, was too young, and it was his mother who took him all the time. Could it be that Huo Chi participated in the competition at that time, Will it be erased from the family tree?

Those dossiers will give me answers.

I took down the file from the late 70s from the shelf on the left. If Xie’s family had a child, there would be a record, but to my surprise, there was not even a trace of smearing on this record. Xie Yuchi This name seemed to have been determined from the very beginning that it would not appear in the Xie family's family tree.

With a thought in my mind, I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, I only had the impression of Xiao Hua and Huo Xiuxiu. There was absolutely no third child, and Xiao Hua was Er Yuehong's only apprentice at that time. Xiao Hua never told me that he had a brother.

It shows that this person has never been trained as the successor of the Xie family. This matter has been determined from the beginning, it is Xiao Hua, and it can only be Xiao Hua.

I picked up the file and looked forward. Although there was no Huo Chi, I could look up his father's name. Sure enough, around 75, this name appeared in the records. It is said that he had an affair with the girl in charge of the study. He insisted that he and that study girl were true love, so the Xie family had no choice but to take that girl to him as a concubine.

I compared the records of the Xie family and the Huo family at that time, and the family history of the Xie family in the next few years, and finally pieced together the matter.

Xie Yuchi was the son of that study girl. At that time, the entire Xie family's direct lineage was weak, and the child in the study girl's belly was the only hope for the Xie family. is a son.

Although reluctant, this child is likely to be the only direct bloodline of the Xie family. Just when the girl in the study thought she was about to ascend to the top of the branch, news came that Xiaohua's mother was pregnant.

This child is of course Xiaohua.

Their fate was written long before they were born.

Huo Chi was raised in the Huo family since he was born. The name "Jie Yuchi" would never have existed. I speculate that this name was given by Xie Jiuye, because there is no one else besides knowing Jiuye. People have the right to give such a child who was born an outcast a family name.

There is often a sentence recorded in the family history: The Huo family brought their youngest son to visit. After a little thought, you will know that the "youngest son" of the Huo family is Huo Chi.Probably because at that time, Xie Jiuye was already old, and people would always be tired from bloody storms. In the last few years, he would be more or less merciful. I can imagine that even if he couldn't really call Huo Chi "Yu Chi" ", but he still somewhat doted on Huo Chi.

Huo Chi's mother was promoted because of her marriage, probably because she was born in a study, and was in charge of writing the dossier, so even though Xie's family strictly prohibited it, she finally couldn't help but write down on a certain page that she had never The word "Yuchi" is not qualified to shout out.

The oath of never hurting Xiaohua was made when Xiaohua was five years old, in the ancestral hall of the ancestor of the Xie family.At that time, Xie Jiuye already felt that he was getting old. He knew that the relationship between the Xie family and the Huo family was not as good as before. Huo Chi grew up in the Huo family. Against each other, Xie Jiuye couldn't accept that his two grandsons would kill each other.

So there was that oath, and around the same time, Huo Chi knew his identity for the first time.

The family history records that the youngest son of the Huo family had a fierce fight with little Xie Yuchen, and both sides were killed. Master Jiu severely reprimanded the children of both sides, and the youngest son of the Huo family "went away crying". The frequency of home visits has also dropped.That should be the beginning of Huo Chi's hatred for Xiao Hua.

Maybe he didn't hate this beautiful and cute kid at first, but as he grows older and becomes more sensible, Huo Chi will realize how much Xiaohua has made him lose. He hates Er Yuehong because he could have been Er Yuehong Hong's apprentice, but he can only watch Xiao Hua learn how to sing and play with the second master. He hates Xiao Hua and is also afraid of Xiao Hua. Of course, this is also because of Xiao Hua's background.

That oath firmly imprisoned him, so that he could never be above Xiaohua. If it were me, there would be someone who enjoys everything that belongs to me, and I would even obey him, which is unacceptable to me. .

Perhaps Huo Chi's only warm memory of Xie's family is the grandfather who loved him, but Xie Jiu died so early, and before he died, he told him the cruel truth and forced him to swear.

No wonder Huo Chi hated him so much, but he was helpless. He always remembered that he was a member of the Xie family. He kept his duty to understand Jiuye and his mother, but was not recognized by the Xie family.The reason why he didn't tell Xiao Hua that he was his brother was probably at first to promise to know Master Jiu, but later on, this identity should have become a deep scar that he didn't want to mention again.

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that Huo Chi was a bit pitiful, but this was just a thought. I quickly told myself that no matter what happened in the past, the current person is already a complete pervert, and he still treats him badly. Xiaohua and Black Glasses did such a thing, my purpose is to defeat him, not to discover his bitter and bitter background story.

I have seen everything I need to see, I was about to leave, and when I was about to open the door, I suddenly remembered what the fat man said. He said that he would let the little brother pick me up. At last it didn't come out.

I always feel that it doesn't make much sense to call my little brother over. It is much more troublesome for him to sneak into Xie's house now than before. If two people are together, it will increase the chance of being found. It is already dark at this time, so I should be careful and slip away. Getting out shouldn't be a problem.

Thinking of this, I sorted out the files all over the floor, opened the door of the library, and the cool night breeze blew in, making me shiver.
