Chapter 326 The Truth
Xie Yi was slightly taken aback. He carefully observed the young master's expression and found that the young master had changed a lot. He used to be as cold and aloof as ice and snow, as if he were untouched by worldly affairs.

But after being with Miss Su, the young master's aloof demeanor softened considerably.

But the young master now is very different. His temperament is more cold and aloof, and even carries a hint of danger.

Moreover, the young master's eyebrows and eyes were red, and his eyes seemed to be suppressing a lot of emotions.

His body was constantly tense, as if he were holding a string that would snap at any moment.

Seeing this young master made Xie Yi's heart ache.

He couldn't help but feel sorry for the young master.

I wonder what the young master went through to become like this.

"Young master, are you sure you want to hear this?"

"Has the young master remembered something now?"

Nalan Guixue said, "Yes, I remember everything. I'm sure I want to hear it. Go ahead and tell me."

Xie Yi seemed to think of something, and moved his lips to say, "Perhaps, young master, you should prepare some pills. I'm afraid you might faint if you can't take it."

He knew very well how deep the young master's feelings were for Miss Su.

What if the young master finds out about certain things and can't bear it, then faints again?

He was somewhat hesitant to speak.

Seeing Xie Yi's appearance, Nalan Guixue had already guessed what was going on. He pressed his brow with his hand and said, "It's alright, go ahead and tell me."

"Young master, let's go inside and sit down to talk."

Nalan Guixue followed Xie Yi into the house. Xie Yi prepared some tea and snacks before slowly saying, "That night, after the young master fell into a coma, Miss Su was terrified. Her face was very pale. Miss Su kept using her supernatural abilities to heal you, but it didn't work..."

"The young master is pale and cannot be woken up no matter what we do. I have summoned Physician Lu..."

"Later we learned that the young master had mental health issues...then the head of the family arrived..."

Xie Yi recounted in detail everything the head of the family had said to Miss Su.

"Snapped……"

The teacup in Nalan Guixue's hand shattered into pieces instantly. The shards grazed Nalan Guixue's fingers, but Nalan Guixue seemed oblivious to it.

"How could someone as proud as her endure such humiliation?"

Yes, Nalan Guixue knew perfectly well that her mother's insistence on her leaving was an insult.

She is female, and so proud; how could she be treated like this?

"Yes, the patriarch said you shouldn't fall in love, and even used your safety to force Miss Su to make a choice. The patriarch's words seem very considerate, leaving no room for criticism, but in reality, I can see that the patriarch looks down on Miss Su..."

"Most importantly, on the night Miss Su left, she was ambushed and assassinated by countless assassins."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Guixue stood up abruptly. "What did you say?"

"Assassination!"

Nalan Guixue's pupils suddenly contracted, and the pain in his heart intensified. He seemed to hear the sound of his heart shattering. "Explain yourself clearly. Who exactly attempted to assassinate me?"

Is that your mother?

Nalan Guixue had never doubted his mother's love and care for him before, but now things were different.

Now he doesn't trust his own mother; he instinctively suspects her.

Xie Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know, and I don't know why those assassins knew Miss Su's whereabouts."

"Miss Su had not gone far from the manor when countless assassins lay in ambush in the woods."

"Those assassins were very powerful..."

Xie Yi recounted the events in detail: "Miss Su almost died, Young Master. She really almost died. I should have died, but Miss Su stayed to save me. In the end, she used a secret technique to forcibly increase her strength. If you had been there, Young Master, you would have felt heartbroken for Miss Su..."

"puff……"

Nalan Guixue couldn't bear to hear these things; for the first time, he tasted the bitterness of heartbreak.

"Sir, are you okay?"

Xie Yi was terrified to see the young master like this.

He dared not continue.

Nalan Guixue placed one hand on the table, bracing himself against it, otherwise he feared he would faint. Even at this moment, Nalan Guixue felt waves of dizziness and blacking out before his eyes.

"Sir?"

After a long while, Nalan Guixue regained her composure and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine."

"You go on."

Xie Yi shook his head and said, "I haven't had any contact with Miss Su since then, and I don't know anything about Miss Su after that."

"But I know that the head of the family has arranged for many guards to watch over you, just to prevent Miss Su from seeing you."

"The head of the family doesn't want you to meet Miss Su, and he probably doesn't want Miss Su to be your wife either."

Xie Yi tried to see the young master and also wanted to find out news about the Xie clan, but he couldn't find out anything at all.

“I was also warned by the patriarch, who said that if I didn’t behave myself, I wouldn’t even be able to save my life.”

"The head of the family forbids me from telling the young master about Miss Su."

This is the truth, because Xie Yi always wanted to go to the young master, hoping to talk to him when he woke up. However, the head of the family was wary of him, and when he realized that his wariness was useless, he threatened him.

Although Xie Yi is a member of the Xie family, his only master is Xie Guixue, and he considers everything he does from Xie Guixue's perspective.

Instead of considering these matters from the perspective of the Xie clan's interests.

After hearing this, a dangerous glint flashed in Nalan Guixue's eyes. "Xie Yi, do you think those assassins might be related to my mother?"

Upon hearing these words, Xie Yi's face turned pale. "I don't think the patriarch would go that far, would he?"

"If you really wanted to harm Miss Su, you wouldn't have done it at that time, would you?"

Nalan Guixue said calmly, "I didn't believe it before either, but my father told me some things about my mother. He said that when he and my mother eloped and were about to leave, they were ambushed and killed by the Xie clan."

"Given my father's abilities at the time, erasing all traces and preventing anyone from tracking them would have been an easy task, but the Xie family still found them."

At the time, my father didn't think much of it, but after he died once and fell into a deep sleep for a long time, he realized something was wrong.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yi's expression changed drastically. "Then... if that's the case, the patriarch is too terrifying."

"But the patriarch has been devoted to Young Master Ling all these years, never marrying, his love is so deep, could it all be a lie?"

Nalan Guixue lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, obscuring the deep, dark color in her eyes, like ice that had accumulated for a thousand years at the bottom of a cold pool, covered with a layer of gloom.

It was as if layers of darkness enveloped his body.

"Who can know what's true and what's false, but she got all the benefits."

Moreover, his mother controlled everything about him in the name of love, not allowing him to escape her grasp.

If his father hadn't woken up from his slumber, learned of his existence, and had someone take him away, he might still be under his mother's control.

"Let's go, let's go to the Xie family."

He was going to meet his mother.

……

Xie family

After giving birth, Xie handed her child over to her subordinates to take care of. As for her beastly husband, she arranged for him to live in the backyard, and she also had people keep an eye on things in the backyard.

The Xie family head doesn't trust anyone.

The Xie clan has many guards, but with Nalan Guixue's strength, no one can stop her from taking it back.

He didn't want to go through any trouble, so he appeared directly in front of the Xie family head.

"My mother has quite the refined taste; she's still checking the account books in the middle of the night."

Upon hearing the sound, the Xie family head looked up and immediately saw Nalan Guixue.

The moment Xie family head saw Nalan Guixue, she panicked for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.

"Gui Xue, is that you? You're back?"

"Mother is not mistaken, it really is you."

The head of the Xie family stepped forward and gave Nalan Guixue a warm hug.

But Nalan Guixue avoided it.

He wasn't used to it because his mother hadn't hugged him much growing up.
