I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 146 Wen Zhen's Identity
After a long time, Shen Xiao gently patted Xu Congyi's hand that was holding him. Xu Congyi knew that Shen Xiao had adjusted his mood.
"I'm fine, Yi Yi," Shen Xiao changed the way he addressed Xu Congyi to Yi Yi.
"Okay," Xu Congyi said nothing else, and went into the bedroom. He bought two huge photo frames from the space, took them out, and framed the two paintings.
After finishing all this, Xu Congyi returned to the dining table and said to Shen Xiao, "Brother Shen Xiao, I'll also store your aunt's portrait in my space for you. This space of mine has a magical function, that is, no matter what item it is, no matter how long it is stored, it will not expire or deteriorate. The same goes for this painting, it can be well preserved in my space, you can rest assured."
Shen Xiao looked at Xu Congyi's serious face, and his heart was filled with gratitude. He smiled and nodded, and then couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch Xu Congyi's pink face. Xu Congyi smiled and slapped his hand away, saying with a bit of annoyance: "Hurry up and continue looking at those envelopes."
So, the two of them sat back at the dining table and began to check the remaining envelopes. These envelopes were sealed tightly, as if they were guarding some secrets. Xu Congyi bought a letter opener, and she carefully used it to cut open the seal of the envelope, fearing that she would damage the letter inside.
There were four letters in total. Rather than letters, they were more like the suicide notes of Grand Tutor Tang. However, the signature was from ten years ago. Shen Xiao frowned. Xu Congyi also noticed something was wrong, especially the one in her hand. She glanced through it first. Because it was all in traditional Chinese, she had difficulty recognizing some of the characters. The handwriting on this letter was a little sloppy, as if it was written in a hurry.
But the more Xu Congyi read, the more frightened she became. Although the traditional Chinese characters gave her a lot of reading difficulties, she still tried to recognize every word. As she read deeper, her heart beat faster and faster, and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.
In the letter, Tang Taishi frankly revealed his dual identity - on the surface, he was a trusted minister of the crown prince, but underneath this identity, he was a chess piece secretly deployed by the eldest prince. He moved between the crown prince and the eldest prince, using his identity and status to pass on various information and plan various plans.
However, Master Tang found that despite his careful actions, the prince seemed to have noticed his abnormality. The prince began to doubt his loyalty and even began to secretly investigate his whereabouts and actions. Whenever Master Tang saw the prince's scrutinizing eyes, he felt an inexplicable chill, as if he had been firmly locked by the prince and could be removed at any time.
In this critical situation, Master Tang knew that he had to make a choice. He knew that he was in a dilemma and that no matter which side he chose, he might pay a heavy price. However, he also knew that he could not die quietly like this and had to leave some guidance.
After reading the letter, Xu Congyi immediately thought of the note from last time, "The Crown Prince conspired to get rid of Wen Zhen." She realized that "Wen Zhen" was another identity of Tang Taishi. Combined with what Shen Xiao said before, the first Crown Prince passed away and the eldest prince ascended the throne as regent, so it is very likely that the first prince's death must have been instigated by the eldest prince and Tang Taishi.
However, Xu Congyi did not directly tell Shen Xiao that Wen Zhen should be Grand Tutor Tang. Instead, she asked Shen Xiao to read the letter first. After all, she was just guessing.
Shen Xiao took the letter and read it carefully. Xu Congyi also picked up the next letter. Compared with the previous one, the handwriting of this letter was much neater and the number of words was much less. Xu Congyi found it much smoother to read.
Although the tone of this letter still sounds like a suicide note, the content is more like a confession letter.
"I am Wen Zhen, and my life is hanging by a thread. I am in danger every day. I was accidentally involved in the disputes in the court, and my life and death are uncertain. At the moment of parting, I am uneasy and want to pour out my regret and love to Qing Ru's spirit.
Qingru, my beloved, is no longer with me. My heart is broken and I am in agony. I used to have a crush on you but I never dared to say it to you, fearing that it would affect your peace. But you and Changsi got married. Although I was heartbroken, I still harbored resentment and wanted to harm Changsi. But fate played tricks on me. I accidentally killed you and it is too late to regret.
Every time I think of this, my heart is torn as if by a knife, and the pain goes deep into my bones. My hatred is not because of your choice, but because of my own narrow-mindedness and ignorance. However, it is too late, and I can only repent here to seek relief.
Now I am about to leave this world, and all I have in mind is clear. I hope your spirit in heaven can hear my words and know the pain and regret in my heart. My sins are truly monstrous, but I only ask that you can forgive me and let my soul rest in peace.
I hope that you can realize my mistakes through long reflection, and I will take this as a lesson for the rest of my life, cultivate my character, and no longer be trapped by resentment. If there is an afterlife, I hope to meet Qingru again, and I will definitely turn over a new leaf, and live with you through thick and thin together until we grow old.
This is the last word of Wen Zhen. May Qing Ru's soul rest in peace, may Chang Si help him understand the truth, and may my soul be liberated. "
Xu Congyi clearly remembered that day in the secret room of Grand Tutor Tang, she saw the name engraved on the zither that she and Shen Xiao's mother loved the most, which was Qingru, so this suicide note should be written by Grand Tutor Tang to Shen Xiao's mother. And the Changsi mentioned in the letter was probably Shen Xiao's father.
"Brother Shen Xiao, do you still remember my uncle's name?" Xu Congyi asked cautiously.
Shen Xiao was immersed in the letter and didn't think much about it. "Of course, my father's name is Han Changsi."
Xu Congyi's heart sank to the bottom. She didn't expect the story behind this to be so bloody and unacceptable. Tang Yang, this old thief, knew that Shen Xiao's mother was already married, but he still had a dirty heart. She glanced at Shen Xiao and saw that he was still immersed in the contents of the letter with a complicated expression.
