Chapter 61 To lie or not to lie

Xie Yun lowered his head further and said nothing.

Shi Yu Foli glanced at him again and saw that the family behind him, big and small, were all kneeling on the ground and trembling, so he said:

"Everyone, get up."

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen both followed Mrs. Xie. After getting up from the ground, they both lowered their heads slightly and looked at the ground in front of them.

This was the case for everyone in the Xie family, especially Xie Yuan. Mrs. Xie was afraid that something might happen to her restless temper, so she held her hand tightly and pulled her close to her.

Seeing that they all looked like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, Shi Yu Foli said very frankly:

"Don't be afraid, and don't think too much. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago. There is no need to come here in person."

After hearing this, Xie Yun did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief. He still said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty. It's just that Your Majesty is the most respected person in the world. The common people should be cautious and serve you respectfully. This is their duty."

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If he says not to kill you now, but changes his mind and wants to kill you the next moment, it is just a matter of order. What can anyone do to him?

"Hmm..." Shi Yu Foli's face was expressionless and he hummed casually. There was no agreement or disapproval. It seemed that he was just perfunctory to show that he heard it.

He looked at the two children in front of Mrs. Xie and asked, "Are they all your children?"

Xie Yun's lips moved, and the word "yes" was about to blurt out. At that moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind:

Shen Qing's life or death is unknown. If the confrontation is still going on, it will be very difficult. What if the Beiyi people use his son as a bargaining chip? Whether it is threatening or persuading him to surrender, it is too dangerous for the child.

What if he lies and claims that Shen Liuzhen is his son? Shi Yu Foli has just said that he does not intend to kill them. Even if he does, there is no guarantee, but in the current situation, being the son of the Xie family is better than being the son of the Shen family.

My son is strong.

Besides, all the servants of the Shen family next door ran away to death. Those who could stay were loyal and would definitely help hide it.

When Xie Yun thought of this, his heart was like a drum, and the sound of his heartbeat was deafening.

But when he was about to say the word "yes", he held back.

No...paper can't stop the fire. There are so many people in this city who know the two children. This lie cannot be told. If it is exposed, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Shi Yufoli has a violent temperament. Rumor has it that he himself has always said that he acts impulsively, especially when it comes to dealing with people, and that he always regrets it.

He was merciless when killing, and his implication was wide. What's the use of regretting it all the time, and I never saw him change his mind. But a person only has one life.

Xie Yun suppressed the urge and panic to lie at this moment, and said honestly:

"That's right. One is my daughter and the other is my son-in-law. The son-in-law is placed beside me and teaches me personally as if he is already a child. Fortunately, this child is talented and intelligent, and may be able to take on the important responsibility of inheriting the Xie family in the future."

"Daughter?" Shi Yu Foli glanced at Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen, seeming a little strange, "Which one is the daughter?"

As he spoke, he focused his attention on Shen Liuzhen, who had a weak temperament, big eyes and dimples, and had obviously acquiesced that he might be the daughter.

But at this time, Xie Yun turned slightly, stretched his palm to the side, pointed at Xie Yuan on Mrs. Xie's right side and said:

"This is my daughter... She has been naughty since she was a child, and she is still confused. This makes His Majesty laugh."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Yu Foli's eyes suddenly turned back and fell on Xie Yuan, who had a straight back and an unruly expression, and frowned:

"Is she your daughter?... Could it be that the head of the Xie family thought that I wanted to make a fuss about the military commander's son, so he deliberately lied to me?"

"I'm not a daughter! But I'm not the son of a military commander either! My surname is Xie." Xie Yuan quickly said that she didn't want to be a daughter, and whoever wanted to treat her as a girl would have her in a hurry!

When Father Xie heard this, he quickly saluted, knelt on the ground and said, "The common people will never dare to deceive Your Majesty. What the common people tell is the truth."

Shi Yu Foli looked at Xie Yun's head, his expression not very good.

The Xie family, a clan whose history books are passed down from generation to generation, has a daughter who still looks like a man who has been practicing martial arts since childhood. Could this Xie Yun be confused and think of him as a fool?!

Xie Yun lowered his head and his body was shaking slightly. He was afraid that the person above him would order their whole family to be slaughtered with a wave of his hand, so he quickly said:

"Your Majesty can send a woman to check. She is indeed a girl. It's just that she is born like a boy. She is the only child among common people, so she has become accustomed to it and developed like this. Your Majesty, please enlighten me!

"

As he spoke, he lowered his head further, pressing his hands on the ground, and his forehead almost rested on his hands.

Xie Yuan was behind, looking at his father's appearance, frowning, biting his lip in dissatisfaction, his tender cheeks bulging out.

What to check? To check if she has breasts? She has no breasts, she is not a girl, so is it so obvious that there is a need to check?

Seeing Xie Yuan's stubborn and dissatisfied look, Shi Yu Foli didn't believe she was a girl even more. The anger on her face became more and more serious. She looked at Xie's father who was kneeling and thought: Does he think he won't really do it?

They sent someone to check, so you want to bite the bullet and get through it?

Huh, if you really deceive the emperor so blatantly, it doesn't matter if your surname is Xie. If you kill an entire clan, you won't have to kill an entire family.

He turned his head with an unhappy expression, and whispered something to a man with a white face and a beardless appearance beside him, who looked like an attendant. The man followed the order and trotted away. After a while, he brought a man wearing red.

The woman was wearing a shirt and skirt. The shirt was thin and her waist was very thin. When she walked, her two wide sleeves swayed in the wind, like a weak willow supporting the wind.

When he arrived, he bowed down to the stone Buddha and the raccoon dog. His big, deep, watery eyes were full of charm and seduction, without any concealment.

The woman has yellow hair and white skin. She is an Orchid.

As soon as Mrs. Xie saw her, she frowned unconsciously and whispered to the mother-in-law beside her, "You can follow her later and keep a closer look. Don't let her say anything unreasonable to A Yuan."

"yes."

Sure enough, the woman took the order and walked towards Xie Yuan and the others. When she arrived, she looked at Xie Yuan's appearance up and down, then covered her mouth and started laughing.

Xie Yuan laughed so hard that she seemed to be a very funny person.

"Why are you laughing?!" Xie Yuan asked with his face raised, his phoenix eyes filled with natural power, his thick eyebrows flying sideways, and his aura was a bit scary.

Hu Ji subconsciously watched her words and did not dare to laugh. She said to her: "...I have been ordered to check for Mr. Lang. Can you point me to the place?"

Mrs. Liu, who was relieved of Mrs. Xie's assignment, quickly took Xie Yuan's hand, forced a polite smile, and said:

"Come with me."
