I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

Xu Congyi didn't say anything, but just waited for Shen Xiao to finish reading the letter in his hand.

"I think Tang Yang should be Wen Zhen," Shen Xiao raised his head after a while, looked at Xu Congyi and expressed his guess.

Xu Congyi nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "I have the same guess. I guess Wenzhen should be Tang Yang's pen name. But time flies, Tang Yang is now in the position of Grand Master, with great power and influence. Everyone respectfully calls him Grand Master Tang, so who would mention his pen name?"

Shen Xiao nodded and thought: "You are right. When I heard the name Wen Zhen before, I felt very familiar with it. Later, I thought about it carefully, and I must have seen this name in my father's study. I was still young at that time and didn't understand the meaning, but now I think about it, it should be the name between my father and Tang Yang. They used to have a very good relationship, so it is reasonable for them to call each other by their given names."

"By the way, Sister Xu, the signatures on these letters are basically from ten years ago. Is the last one in your hand also in this situation?"

Xu Congyi's face showed a complicated expression. "Yes... and no." She hesitated for a moment, as if weighing something, and finally spoke with difficulty, "This letter was signed eight years ago, which is indeed later than the other letters."

Shen Xiao's heart moved when he heard this, and he immediately realized that this letter might have some special meaning. He reached out to take the letter. However, just as he was about to touch the envelope, Xu Congyi's hand suddenly swung out like lightning and slapped his hand down.

Shen Xiao was stunned. He looked at Xu Congyi with some confusion.

Xu Congyi also realized her own gaffe, and she quickly explained: "Brother Shen Xiao, please allow me to explain it clearly first." A trace of embarrassment and entanglement appeared on her face, "This letter... is different from the others. Its content is more like a love letter."

Xu Congyi took a deep breath, as if to encourage himself, picked up the letter, and handed it to Shen Xiao: "Brother Shen Xiao, the content of this letter may be difficult for you to accept. But I hope you can understand that this is part of the truth, and we need to face it."

Shen Xiao looked at Xu Congyi's serious and solemn expression, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart. He took the letter, his fingers trembling slightly, as if he was afraid of revealing the secret hidden in his heart. He read it word by word, and the expression on his face gradually became complicated with the words in the letter.

"How could this happen..." Shen Xiao's voice trembled and he could hardly utter complete words.

Shen Xiao stared at the letter, as if he wanted to engrave it into his heart. He mechanically repeated the two sentences, "But you and Changsi got married. Although I was heartbroken, I had resentment and wanted to harm Changsi. Unexpectedly, fate played tricks on me. I accidentally killed you. It's too late to regret." Every word was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart deeply.

He recalled the scene he had seen before, where Tang Yang had copied his mother's room into his own secret room and kept a portrait of his mother. At that time, although he was angry, he still believed that Tang Yang killed his parents because of the disputes in the court. However, this letter made him understand a more cruel truth - Tang Yang actually killed his father and indirectly killed his mother because he had developed an inappropriate feeling for his mother.

"Brother Shen Xiao..." Xu Congyi called softly, trying to calm him down. But Shen Xiao didn't seem to hear him. He sat there blankly, his eyes blank, as if the whole world was collapsing before his eyes.

Xu Congyi stood aside, calmly analyzing the whole incident. She said softly, "Brother Shen Xiao, this matter is not as simple as it seems. Master Tang has some intentions towards your mother, which is indeed a reason, but more importantly, he used this relationship as a bargaining chip in his struggle in the court."

While comforting Shen Xiao, Xu Congyi also deeply analyzed the complicated background of Shen Xiao's parents' murder. She knew very well that this incident was not just because of Tang Taishi's personal feelings for Shen Xiao's mother, but must be related to the power struggle and conspiracy in the court.

First of all, Shen Xiao's father was falsely accused of treason and collaborating with the enemy. This was not an ordinary crime. Shen Xiao's father was already the Prime Minister at the time, second only to the emperor, but he was suddenly accused of treason. It was impossible to say that there was no emperor's tacit approval behind the scenes.

In addition, Xu Congyi also pointed out that Master Tang's feelings for Shen Xiao's mother should be just one of the reasons. Although this reason seems direct and obvious, it is actually only one link in the whole incident. In the court, various interests and powers are intertwined to form a complex network. As an important node in this network, Master Tang's actions and decisions are often influenced and restricted by the political forces in the court. Take the rest of the letters, for example, it is clear that the former prince had already had murderous intentions to get rid of him, but in the end he was alive and well, but the former prince died. All of this is not isolated, but part of the entire power struggle network.

"In the court, various forces are intertwined, and everyone is fighting for their own interests." She paused to give Shen Xiao time to digest this information, and then continued to analyze: "From the perspective of political struggle, your father, as the Prime Minister, his position is a threat to many forces. And Tang Taishi, he may be used by the emperor, or he may take the initiative to join forces with the emperor, using his feelings for your mother as an excuse to push your father to the forefront of treason."

Xu Congyi's voice was like a breeze, blowing away some of the haze in his heart. Her words were full of firmness and warmth, which comforted him. He looked up at Xu Congyi, and her clear eyes revealed her care and support for him, making him feel that he was not alone.

Shen Xiao listened to Xu Congyi's analysis, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided, replaced by calmness and determination. He was calm and introverted by nature, and could always face various challenges and difficulties calmly, but when faced with things related to the murder of his parents, he still found it difficult to control himself. However, with Xu Congyi's comfort, he gradually regained his sanity.

Xu Congyi looked at Shen Xiao distressedly. She knew that although this boy looked calm on the surface, he was suffering from great pain and pressure in his heart. He was only sixteen years old, but he was already forced to face such a cruel reality. She thought of her life in modern times. When she was sixteen, although her life was hard, she could still act like a spoiled child in her grandmother's arms.

"Thank you, Sister Xu." Shen Xiao said softly, "I will cheer up, for my parents and for our future."

"Okay," Xu Congyi put her hand on Shen Xiao's hand. Shen Xiao felt her movement and took Xu Congyi's hand in his own.

Even if the road is full of thorns and the walls are difficult to cross, we must hold the hands of our loved ones and push them down.
