Chapter 855: Killing Someone With A Borrowed Knife!
Third Master Xie couldn’t take this blow.
How much did Jiang Qian and Xie Ning know? At least, they didn’t say a word to him.
Before he left Jiankang, he said that he couldn’t. Perhaps he didn’t, or perhaps the two children didn’t know. But what if they left Jiankang City? Besides, they didn’t know-were they dead?
Or was he dead?
Mother Xie looked at Third Master Xie’s defeated expression and was very dejected. Her heart ached and she was annoyed. She said to Madam Wang,”Help Third Brother up and sit down beside him. Didn’t he want to see the evidence? He would have a good time later.”
Xie San Ye did not use Madam Wang to do anything and sat down at the side with his face covered in dust.
He touched his forehead that was hurting from the kowtow. He did not know how much strength Feng Shu had used and how much hatred he had for him to kowtow until he was like a bloody gourd. He had used a lot of strength and gritted his teeth to hold on. His head was still buzzing now, but there was not even a drop of blood when he looked again.
“I don’t know when you’ll be able to rest in my room.”Mother Xie looked at Xiao Baoxin’s big belly and felt that it was quite hard.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t try to force himself and turned around to go to the inner room.
After about half an hour, Jiang Qian was invited back to the Xie residence.
The first month was still in the new year, and the Academy had not started classes yet. Jiang Qian rested at home. Usually, three or five good friends would often gather together. Today, it was his turn to go. The few of them drank until they were drunk. When the Xie family guards came, they didn’t even sober up. They didn’t even explain and directly carried them away.
Those who were on good terms with Jiang Qian were not from the aristocratic families, but were all from the common families. However, one of the Xie family guards stepped forward to stop him.
As soon as the Xie family registered their number, that person naturally stopped pestering them.
Xie Ning and Jiang Qian were quite famous in the Academy. Everyone knew that they were the concubines of the Minister of Taichang Temple. Jiang Qian and the Xie family had a complicated relationship.
Although he didn’t know what Jiang Qian had done to anger the Xie family, but…He had done something wrong.
Xie Xian had resigned from his post, but the Xie family was still the head of the aristocratic families in Jiankang City. No one dared to say anything to their faces.
Xie Ning had been brought to Yi An Hall before Jiang Qian. He was in the mansion and arrived faster than Jiang Qian.
Xie Ning had never seen Xi Que’s father before. He had only heard Jiang Qian mention that the two of them worked together. He had seen Xi Juan before, but he had never said a word to her.
There was no need. There were too many people in the Xie residence.
He also knew that Xiao Baoxin and the maids around her were all skilled in martial arts and had sharp ears and eyes. Naturally, he did not want to give himself away before he had succeeded and let others hear about it. Therefore, he had always avoided suspicion and stayed far away from this magpie.
Cai Wei was someone close to Xiao Baoxin. When she went to call for help, Xie Ning thought that it was because of the unpleasantness between her and Xiao Baoxin a few days ago that she had brought it to Mother Xie. Mother Xie wanted to back Xiao Baoxin up and reprimand him.
Who knew that when he entered the room and saw the head of the cuckoo covered in purple and blood, his head immediately buzzed and he cried out in his heart.
Had he been exposed?
Didn’t they agree to take advantage of the chaos when Baoxin gave birth?
Why did it suddenly leak out?
However, no matter how shocked and suspicious he was, he knew that he could not admit it. If he was not careful, he would be crushed into pieces.
Xie Ning was determined not to admit it, and the magpie was deliberately trying to get dirty.
Feng Shu’s brashness came back again. Before he spoke, he kowtowed twice.”I, Feng Shu, don’t deserve to die. I’m going to die anyway. I’ve done such a terrible thing! However, I won’t admit that I’m trying to cheat. I’m about to die. Anyway, I’m about to die. I won’t lie. It’s you, it’s you, it’s you!”
“And your brother, Jiang Qian, he said that you were the mastermind and that you were the one who gave him the money.”
“I still have the silver notes-”
“A hundred taels! If you hadn’t poisoned Madam Xie and given me the black heart money, I wouldn’t have been able to sell myself for this price!”
——
“Look, look, there’s still a fragrance on this banknote…Oh, after such a long time, it had faded, but there was still some!”
Butler Qi went to Feng Shu’s house and found the banknote and a jade pendant. It wasn’t a good color. It was emerald green. Mother Xie had given it to Xie Ning after he entered the residence.
Xie Ning had never worn it before, so she gave it to Jiang Qian.
Of course, Jiang Qian couldn’t give it to Feng Shu, as it would leave behind evidence.
According to Feng Shu, he had secretly plucked it when Jiang Qian wasn’t paying attention. He wanted to leave evidence for his daughter in case Jiang Qian killed him in the future.
Xie Ning,”Why don’t you go and die?”
Why would I need your evidence?
“What kind of evidence is this? I even said that you stole it!”
When Jiang Qian was brought into the house, Xie Ning was screaming at the top of her lungs. Her face was flushed red, and she looked like she wanted to bite him to death.
Jiang Qian sighed and stood on the same side as Xie Ning, refusing to admit it. The sword was pointed at Madam Wang.”I have no one to rely on in Jiankang City with Shi Er Lang, only my father. How could I know any servant who works in the Xie family? I think that there must be someone who can’t stand me and Twelfth Lang. That person must also know the foundation of the Xie residence.”
Hatred surged.
Only Xie Ning and Jiang Qian were left in the room, crying for their innocence. The hatred was hidden in their hearts. Others might not know, but Xiao Baoxin could feel it. She frowned and shifted her body uncomfortably.
Mother Xie’s mother glared at Third Master Xie impatiently. If it wasn’t for him, so much trouble wouldn’t have happened.
Of course, it was also her fault for being soft-hearted back then. She did not want to make things difficult for her son.
In the end, no matter what the facts proved, he had to make things difficult for him. He had to whip him from time to time. Otherwise, the demon created by this fellow would bite back sooner or later. It was too much of a scam!
“Shut up! It’s so noisy that I have a headache!” Mother Xie was furious. She threw the teacup that Haitang had prepared on the ground again. She knew that if she didn’t make a sound and express her stance, they would really think that this was a reasonable place. Do you think this is a court where evidence is all there is?
This was the Xie Manor. Here, the heavens were the boss, and she was the second, and the earth was the third!
Finally, the world was peaceful, and no one dared to provoke her again.
“Baoxin, are you tired from sitting? I shouldn’t have disturbed you on such an occasion. You’re so dirty…” He sighed.
Xiao Baoxin had been sitting on the couch with Mother Xie the whole time. His lower back was still leaning on the cushion. No matter what, he looked more comfortable than Mother Xie. Third Master Xie did not know when his family had gotten pregnant and raised their status and seniority.
He was her elder, and he was still sitting below. How could she reason with him? He was still flattering her like this. If he continued to flatter her, she would be in heaven.
However, because the two people who committed the crime were his biological and non-biological sons, and he was the one who brought them into the residence against the will of the masses, before the truth was revealed, it was better for him to not interfere and make things difficult for himself.
Silently, she pretended not to see it.
Mother Xie patted Xiao Baoxin’s hand.
‘Go back and rest. I’m here.’
” Just say that it’s all up to Grandmother. It would be even more appropriate if you could shed a few tears at the right time.’
‘If you can’t cry, just pretend to wipe your eyes with your sleeves.’
