Chapter 361 Have you thought about revenge?
Chapter 361 Have you ever thought about taking revenge?
The old emperor sat on the chair, a huge height higher than Xie Yuan who was sitting on the mat.
Xie Yuan looked at him with expectant eyes, and the light in Danfeng's eyes turned red by the fire.
But the old emperor just looked at the fire and flipped his hands on his knees, with some dry skin bulging with green blood vessels.
Xie Yuan had never seen the emperor so close, and he was still watching in front of the bright fire, and could see all the details clearly.
This was in a huge contrast with her previous impression of the old emperor's distant majesty, so different that she felt a little ridiculous and at a loss.
After a while, I heard the old man opposite say:
"You are the Xie family. Your father Xie Yun moved out of Pingcheng, Wei many years ago and came to the south.
Back then, it was Xie Baizheng who was the chief of the Xie clan. The Xie clan was in the prosperous period of Wei State and was incredibly prosperous.
Why did you choose to stay away from it if you don’t follow us?”
Xie Yuan didn't expect the emperor to ask this, and thought about it and said:
"I was still young and didn't know about it, but later I heard my father and mother talk. It was because my father was deeply influenced by Taoism and believed that water would overflow if it was full, and the moon would be full and the moon would be full and the loss if it was lost.
In addition, my father is a side branch and is not very popular with the patriarch. Moreover, the Xie family has always had a tradition of moving books with them and scattering their leaves in order to continue.
So after I mentioned it to the patriarch, the patriarch agreed and allowed me to separate some books from generation to generation and copy the genealogy of Xie's family."
The old emperor asked again: "Later, the Xie family was slaughtered in Wei State and blood flowed into a river. How did you react after hearing this news?"
Xie Yuan fell into memories and lowered his eyes and said, "My parents were extremely sad. The Xie Family Ancestral Hall was filled with newly established tablets overnight. I still remember the smell of paint and incense at that time."
"Have you ever thought about revenge? Such a heavy blood hatred?" The old emperor suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yuan, staring at her expression with a torch, without a moment.
Xie Yuan was stunned. She seemed to suddenly understand the purpose of the old emperor's question.
But she lowered her eyes and answered honestly:
"When I know, what my father values more is the inheritance and continuation of the glory of the Xie family. As for revenge... My father is not easy to fight and always likes to protect himself. Otherwise, he would not have taken us away from Wei when the Xie family was at its peak and ran to the south.
Since he was a child, he has never taught me how to take revenge…”
When she said this, Xie Yuan suddenly stopped, and Danfeng's eyes sterned, obviously thinking about something.
The old emperor keenly captured her expression, squinted his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Yuan's expression became sad and said:
"Nothing... Because I am a girl, my father has no expectations of me since he was a child. He has never asked for anything other than to be good at character and good-looking in writing.
On the contrary, he had high requirements for Shen Liuzhen and many taught in private. If he had mentioned revenge, he would probably have mentioned Shen Liuzhen and would not have told me."
This is what she said in her heart. She didn't know what they said in private.
I only know that Shen Liuzhen must have known much more from her father than her...they were much closer.

"Yes, even though you are a Han person, you are strictly a member of Wei. It would be unlikely if you were to hate Wei like me."
The old emperor looked at Xie Yuan, showed a memory look, and said in a gentle tone:
"You are young and have never experienced what our generation has experienced..."
