Chapter 719: The truth of that year, Ying Huaixia's death
Chang Le asked: "Where is Ying Miao now?"
"He has been detained and is awaiting trial."
……
In the simple room, Ying Miao sat on the bed leaning against the wall.
She changed out of her favorite cheongsam, her snow-white hair was loose, her skin was still fair, but in just a few days, countless wrinkles appeared on her. Her beautiful eyes were lifeless, and her energy seemed to have been drained away, but she still looked calm.
The footsteps approached, the door was pushed open, Ying Miao raised her eyes in surprise, a look of brilliance appeared in her eyes, and a kind smile appeared on her face unconsciously: "Xiao Xia."
Ying Huaixia walked in indifferently, found a chair and sat down, and asked in a cold voice: "Why did you write a confession without telling me?"
Ying Miao frowned and lowered her eyes: "I'm sorry, I know this is not the result you want, but I... I'm tired, I'm old, I should say goodbye to this world."
Ying Huaixia was unmoved: "Isn't it because of Qin Shaoji?"
Ying Miao's expression was slightly stiff.
"What do you mean by tired and old? Didn't you plan this from the moment you forced Qin Shaoji to his death? You knew this was not what I wanted, but you still did it. Old lady, you have never really understood my needs."
"Xiao Xia, it's not like that!" Ying Miao supported her knees with both hands and said excitedly, "I am not doing this for my own selfish reasons, but for you and for the future of the entire Ying family.
The Qin family fell, and the ruling order of the Middle Earth was renewed. If the Ying family clings to the power of the management committee at this time, they will end up like the Qin family! The Ying family must show weakness, and must hand over their weaknesses and handles to them. Only by showing weakness actively can the Ying family and you be preserved to the greatest extent! "
Ying Huaixia's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Then you know that if you are gone, the Ying family will fall into ruin, right?"
"Without you, the overall strength of the Ying family is not even as good as the Yue family and the Ming family in District 2! What do you mean by for me? You are clearly forcing me to be tied to the Ying family!"
"But have you forgotten? I am no longer the genius that your Ying family has been waiting for for generations. I am already a complete waste!"
Ying Huaixia pounded his clenched fist on the armrest of the sofa with a thud: "It is impossible for me to practice and advance in this lifetime! How do you want me to protect the Ying family? Why do you want me to protect the Ying family forever? You know very well why I became a useless person!"
Ying Miao's lips had lost their color, tears welled up in her eyes but she pursed her lips and raised her face, maintaining her composure.
Ying Huaixia got angry and started coughing for a while.
Ying Miao's eyes were full of heartache, but she just closed her eyes and tried to keep her tone calm: "Xia Xia, I know you hate me and blame me, but it doesn't matter, this is what I deserve."
Ying Huaixia, including Qin Xian, Gu Yujing, Hua Anning and others, is like a turning point. Almost all of the people of the same generation are the most talented and best in the family in the past few generations. Since Ying Huaixia awakened his supernatural powers at the age of three, he has been trained strictly as an heir.
Ying Miao is not only her great-grandmother (Ying Huaixia’s great-grandfather was a son-in-law), but also his most respected teacher.
Compared to Qin Xian, who is not very interested in family affairs, Ying Huaixia was born an all-round genius, proficient in both civil and military affairs, with an extraordinary talent for cultivation. He is also a natural material for managing the family. In the eyes of Qin Xian's parents, he is the "other people's child".
Ying Huaixia had been doing well for the past 27 years, and he rose to the position of the young master of the management committee. Ying Huaixia was content with the life that others thought was boring and burdensome. During these 27 years, the people who accompanied him the most were either his parents or Ying Miao.
So, two years ago, when Ying Huaixia was 27 years old, when the Dragon Emperor Fu Guang was imprisoned in District 9, Ying Miao sent him there.
As proud as Ying Huaixia was, he never took the crooked way of [fusion] seriously. So even though he received the order to intercept, he told Ying Miao that he thought there was room for maneuver and wanted to take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with Fu Guang. Also, it was because he knew Fu Guang and had some feelings for him.
Therefore, Ying Huaixia decided to go first, and then Ying Miao would send his assassins to support him, to do Dragon Emperor Fu Guang a favor.
Ying Miao did not stop him and tacitly agreed. Ying Huaixia went there without any doubt.
However, when he entered the dangerous no-man's land without hesitation and trusted his family and relatives, the rioting alien wave swept over him, but he, like the Dragon Emperor Fu Guang, did not receive any rescue.
That year, the first person of the younger generation in Middle-earth changed.
Ying Huaixia, who had reached the eighth level of cultivation at the age of twenty-seven, had his cultivation almost completely wasted and there was no possibility of further progress, so he became a useless person.
The favored son of heaven who was high and mighty and had everything going for him was torn off his feet by his own people, and fell to the ground with a loud bang, shattered to pieces.
When he came back and saw Ying Miao's angry and disappointed eyes, Ying Huaixia suddenly realized that what was important was not his grandson, but an excellent, obedient tool who lived wholeheartedly for the family.
Ying Miao certainly never thought of letting him fall to this point, but she never regarded him as a relative whose blood was thicker than water.
Her blood is cold, and in her heart, there is only power and status.
Just like he chose to abandon Qin Shaoji who had difficulty breaking through to the ninth level, this time, in order to save himself, it was Ying Huaixia who was abandoned.
Ying Huaixia looked at Ying Miao, who kept admitting his mistakes, and felt no other emotions except hatred.
Ying Miao saw his hateful eyes and felt bitter in her heart, but she still advised him:
"Xia Xia, don't let the resentment in your heart bury your true thoughts. I know you, I know you are a smart, scheming child who knows how to hide your edge. You have never given up your ambition, even when you hit rock bottom.
You have to do what you want to do, and the Ying family is the most reliable and solid helper. You have to rely on them, not to..."
"That's enough." Ying Huaixia said coldly.
"You are a prisoner who has made mistakes, and you still have the nerve to teach me what is right and wrong? When has your honorable Madam Ying ever been concerned about right and wrong? Aren't power and status your criteria for judgment?"
Ying Miao wanted to persuade him, but he interrupted her directly: "There is no need to continue the drama of the elders teaching, it is too late.
I came here today just to hear from you in person everything you know about what Qin Shaoji and the Qin family did."
Ying Miao frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to reveal the silver ring with a monitoring device on his wrist.
But then, she noticed that the small display screen on the silver ring had lost power and turned off.
Ying Huaixia said calmly: "You just need to answer my questions. Time is short."
Ying Miao spoke softly and whispered something to him.
When he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door outside. They knocked a few times in a regular pattern and then left. Ying Huaixia knew that time was running out and someone was coming to check why the equipment was shut down, so he stood up and was about to leave.
"Xia Xia!" Ying Miao suddenly called him, speaking in an extremely serious tone.
"The last sentence, from the bottom of my heart, I hope you don't get close to those things and those people. Chang Le's new plan may be able to help you..."
Before she finished her words, Ying Huaixia had already stood up and left. When he reached the door, he paused for a moment, turned around and said coldly:
"There is one more thing. When I arrived here, Qin Shaoji had died in Yanhui Tower, and his body was nowhere to be found."
There was a gentle "beep" sound, indicating that the silver ring had been activated. Ying Miao stood there stiffly, his mind blank, and he had lost the ability to think.
After a long while, she leaned against the wall as if she was separated from him, tears pouring out silently.
She looked out the window at the unreachable sunset, feeling confused, decadent, guilty and lost, which finally turned into tears of self-mockery and regret.
