Chapter 57 The truth of the year
Nena had been sent by Bond to the Governor's Mansion, but Lin Feng did not disturb Nena anymore considering that it was already evening and asked someone to throw the unconscious Xiri directly into the cell.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng found Ephelia and chatted with him in the study for about a night. According to the night patrol guards, the magic lights in the study were not turned off until dawn...
The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Feng discussed with David how to solve the remaining soldiers of the Parker family. When he heard the news that Cili was awake from the cell, he sent someone to send Cili to the study.
Although Xiri had woken up, she was obviously in a bad mood. She was still dressed as a housekeeper in Parker's family, but her face was a little pale. The cold ground all night seemed to have caused the old guy who was about to reach the end of his life to be infected with the cold. When the prison guard brought him to the study, he kept coughing.
When it comes to his own private affairs, Lin Feng had already asked David to retreat. After instructing the servants outside to invite Nena, Lin Feng took out a silver coin and threw it to the prison guard. After asking him to go down, he looked at Xili, who was slumped on the ground.
Xili looked about the same age as Old Carl. When Lin Feng was living in the Marquis' Mansion, he heard that Marquis Carson was born by Xili. He not only served Marquis Carson, but also served Carson's father. Although he was just a servant, his status in the Parker family was significantly higher than that of other servants.
The most obvious thing is Marquis Carson's attitude towards Cialis.
Although Cili, the "old minister of the previous dynasty", was destined to be reused by Carson himself, Marquis Carson handed over most of the powers in his hometown except military power. It was enough to see his place in Carson's heart.
However, at present, the Marquis's nest was completely overturned by Lin Feng. Even though the Marquis himself was still alive, Old Xili was no longer the chief manager who covered the sky with one hand.
"Ahem, since I first heard that you were named Grand Duke, I knew that I might not live long. Now that I have fallen into your hands, I have been mentally prepared. Get it right away and give me some fun. Chairy said that, but she obviously lacked confidence in her heart. She didn't look at Lin Feng, but just stared at the ground without any spirit, and couldn't help but look at Lin Feng when she was coughing.
Lin Feng walked up to him and squatted down. Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face, he shook his head and said calmly: "Don't worry, you won't die yet, but I'm very surprised. Why didn't you tell the Marquis the Marquis when you heard that I was named Grand Duke?"
"Hehe, what do you think?" Xiri smiled bitterly, raised her head to look at Lin Feng, and continued to speak without waiting for Lin Feng to speak: "Although your name is very strange, I can't guarantee that there are no one on the mainland who is the same as you. Moreover, I never thought that an illegitimate son who has no power would be named Duke of the Empire. Duke of Snow Demon Wolf, are you satisfied with my answer?"
"In other words, you have never been sure it was me?" Lin Feng looked at him quietly.
"Cough cough." Xiri covered her mouth and coughed twice, and raised her head again: "That's right. Since I wasn't sure it was you, of course I wouldn't create a duke powerful enemy for my master, but what I didn't expect was that you would actually attack Parker Plain."
"Oh?" Lin Feng couldn't help but be surprised: "Do you think I attacked the Parker family because of what happened back then?"
"Isn't it?" Xiri was suddenly a little surprised.
"Hahahaha..." Lin Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He laughed for a long time before stopping, but he did not explain. Instead, he looked at Xili with a suspicious face and changed the subject: "So, the Marquis not only did not know the real reason why my mother and I were kicked out back then. He also didn't know if he had an illegitimate son, Duke of Snow Demon Wolf himself?"
Hearing this question, Xiri was silent for a while before saying, "Master doesn't know. He will name every child of the master himself, and you are the only exception."
"Is it because I am his illegitimate son?" Lin Feng looked at him in a flash: "As far as I know, he has more than me, right?"
"Ahem, that's right." Xiri stared at Lin Feng's eyes tightly: "Because when Nena came to the mansion, you were not born yet, and out of my personal selfishness, when I wrote to my master, I said that you had died in Nena's womb, so the master didn't know that he had you, your son."
"So, he did not give his mother the identity of Marquis, so he drove my mother and I out of the Marquis' mansion under the confusion of rumors and rumors that you have been creating later." Lin Feng said this sentence very calmly, but his eyes were quite complicated.
Xili nodded immediately and said, "Yes, if not, how could the master drive you mother and son out of the mansion? Cough cough... Even if you are an illegitimate son, your master's blood will flow in your body. How could the master let his flesh and blood wander among the people?"
Xili's words sounded very reasonable, and it seemed that there was no loophole for a while. But in Lin Feng's ears, Xili was obviously trying hard to defend the Marquis, but he didn't say much for the time being, but asked a different question: "When did you confirm that I was the Lin Feng who was kicked out of the mansion by you?"
"Last night, even before I saw you, I was still suspicious." Xiri lowered her head again without hesitation: "What if it is you? Do you think I have the attitude to tell the master the truth on his own initiative?"
"...I will let you see him." Lin Feng was silent for a long time before he could say this.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiri hugged Lin Feng and shouted excitedly: "You kill me! I have no shame to see my master again!"
"By my means, you can't even commit suicide. If I don't let you die, you have to live!" Lin Feng coldly shook off Old Xili. Without waiting for his reaction, he waved his hand to seal his ability to move and said again: "You are really loyal to the Marquis, so loyal that you are willing to take responsibility alone, and you are not willing to betray him."
"...What did you say? I don't understand." Xili obviously found that she could not move freely. Although she was stunned for a moment, she quickly spoke when she heard Lin Feng's words.
But Lin Feng found that when Xili said this, he obviously did not dare to look at him.
"You are very guilty and look at me." Lin Feng said calmly: "Tell me everything that is true."
As he said that, he narrowed his eyes slightly and added: "Although you are just a servant, you have been secretly rewarded by Carson with a maid as your wife because you served two generations of marquis. And you have a child in your later years, but when he was born, your wife died of labor. You found a local couple to take care of your children.
Because of your identity, you did not disclose this matter, nor did you tell him your son’s true life story. Now, your son is the owner of a certain ranch and lives a wealthy life. Because you secretly provide convenience for him, you are now a rich man who owns a place..."
"You, you...how do you know?!!" Before Lin Feng finished speaking, Xiri suddenly screamed in surprise. After saying that, he also realized something and said in shock: "He...my son, where is he now?! He doesn't know anything! He is innocent!! Ahem..."
When he was excited, he couldn't help but cough again.
"I just know!" Lin Feng's tone became even colder: "As long as you tell me the truth, I promise he is still the same as him!"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Xili finally calmed down, but his face became paler, and a hint of loneliness appeared in his expression. In the end, he could only tell the truth like he was destined to accept his fate...
It turned out that Xili and the other two old servants raped Liana back then. Xili suspected that Nena had seen it, but what was fake was that Xili did not dare to imprison Nena privately. Although after that incident, he had written two letters to slander Nena and sent people to the imperial capital. But just halfway through, he sent someone to intercept him!
After all, even if Nena really puts on airs, she is pregnant with the Marquis' flesh and blood, Xiri dares not do anything excessive. Moreover, if he really says something bad about Nena in the letter, it will definitely arouse the Marquis' disgust.
The fact is that the content of each letter from Xili is very real. Everything in the mansion, including the recent situation of Nena and several other marquises, and the later birth of Lin Feng, Xili truthfully reported to the marquis of the imperial capital.
The only thing about Liana was truly hidden by Xili. After all, the Marquis had too many women, so many that he couldn't even figure it out himself. The Marquises stayed in the Parker Plain were all women that the Marquis didn't want to see. As time went by, it was not an exaggeration for the Marquis to remember the names of these women, let alone caring about Liana's life and death.
Moreover, several marquises, including Nena, who wanted to write letters to the marquis of the imperial capital, had to go through his hands. If Nena mentioned Lianna in her heart, Xili would definitely know!
Therefore, Xiri was not worried at all about whether Liana's real cause of death would reach the Marquis.
Besides, even if Nena really saw it, she knew her situation and would not reveal it on her own initiative in order to survive in the mansion.
When Xili sent letters to the imperial capital one by one, the Marquis did not mention anything in the reply. Even when Lin Feng was born, the Marquis just passed by the letter, and only the letter said that Xili asked her to "isolate" Nena and her son alone.
Xili was a little strange at first, but as a servant, he naturally would not ask too much. It also made him feel relieved to isolate Nena and his son. However, in the subsequent reply, he took the initiative to mention Lin Feng and asked the Marquis to give Lin Feng a name.
But what Xili didn't expect was that the Marquis not only did not name Lin Feng, but also instructed Xili in the letter to starve Nena and Lin Feng to death, and then burn the body to ashes and mix it into chopped meat to feed the dog!
However, Xili may have thought of her wife who was dyingly born and her son who didn't know her true background. After seeing this, she really couldn't bear to see Nena and Lin Feng starve. She carefully settled Nena and her son in a small house and sent someone she could trust to guard it. At the beginning, Nena spent money to buy food. After Nena spent all her savings, she took the initiative to pay some money to support the lives of Nena and her son.
However, firstly, his savings were limited, so he could only barely allow Nena and Lin Feng to survive. Secondly, he was really afraid that things would be exposed, so he could only lock Nena and Lin Feng in a small room, for fear that others would watch it, and even less dared to make any big moves. Therefore, he had a childhood like Lin Feng's prison.
"But when you were ten years old, I received the news that my master returned to Parker Plain and asked me to prepare. I knew that you, mother and son could no longer live in the mansion, so I had to drive you out." Xiri's voice fell down. When he said this, he couldn't help but sigh. Then, he looked at Lin Feng in a complicated way, then closed his eyes.
