Chapter 128 The Xie Family Suffers a Series of Misfortunes
Xie Xiu looked down at Xie Tang. "What do you mean? Houses in the capital are not easy to buy. But if you study hard from now on, and then pass the imperial examination and work hard for another twenty years, you may be able to buy a house in the capital."
Xie Tang was instantly deflated: "Forget it, I won't compete with my sister anymore."
His sister is the reincarnation of a fairy. How can a mortal like him compare to her?
He doesn't want to make himself suffer.
Xie Tang came to terms with it, but it wasn't as easy for anyone else in the Xie Mansion to come to terms with it as he was.
Upon learning that the princess had rewarded Xie Ying with a five-story mansion, not only were Xie Yun and Xie Yi extremely jealous, but the old lady and Chen Fang were even more jealous.
But after one night, they both fell ill.
When Xie Yun found out, he was so angry that he immediately ordered someone to tie up Xie Xin and personally watched the housekeeper punish Xie Xin according to the family rules.
Xie Xin had been beaten by Xie Yun before, and Xie Yun was also stabbed by Chen Fang because of this.
So Xie Xin's injuries were not serious, he only suffered minor skin injuries. However, he deliberately did not go to the Imperial College, and told others that he had been severely punished and beaten so badly that he could not get up.
This will reduce the power of public opinion.
Sure enough, even though outsiders knew that he had kicked his half-brother and injured his grandfather, causing him to suffer a stroke due to anger, they did not blame him too much when they heard that he was beaten so badly that he could not get up.
In addition, Chen Fang had people spread rumors that Xie Ying was an unlucky star who would bring disaster to her relatives, which further reduced everyone's attention and criticism of Xie Xin, and instead focused their attention on Xie Ying.
After Xie Xin stayed at home for a few days, the superficial injuries had recovered a lot, but the scars had not yet completely disappeared.
However, in order to complete the act, he could only stay at home and did not dare to go out for the time being.
Xie Xin was already getting a little impatient with being locked up, but suddenly he heard the news that the eldest princess said Xie Ying was a lucky star and would give her a big mansion.
He was so angry that he couldn't sleep well all night. He was still angry after dawn and didn't even eat breakfast.
Who knew that he was sulking in the yard, and was tied up and brought in front of Xie Yun, and was punished by the family rules!
Although the wound was caused by vitex, Xie Xin had been spoiled since childhood and had always been delicate and tender. How could he endure such pain?
He wanted to scream in pain, but a cloth was stuffed into his mouth, blocking it so tightly that he couldn't scream at all. He could only groan in pain.
Xie Xin was so angry that his eyes widened and he glared fiercely at the housekeeper who hit him.
The housekeeper felt a chill in his heart when he saw his eyes, and felt extremely aggrieved.
Why is the Fourth Young Master glaring at him?
It wasn't that he wanted to fight, it was the master's order that forced him to fight!
He didn't even dare to use force at first, but the master's eyes were like a knife, and he saw through his lack of strength at a glance and ordered him to hit hard, otherwise he would kick him out.
What can he do? He was forced to do it!
Why is the fourth young master just glaring at him?
Because Xie Yun refused to let the butler stop, the butler could only beat him while persuading him.
He didn't dare to hit Xie Xin too hard, otherwise, not only Chen Fang and Xie Yi, but even Xie Yun would not forgive him!
After he had persuaded him countless times and his mouth was dry, Xie Yun finally gave in.
He looked at Xie Xin with a warning: "That's all for today. If you dare to cause trouble again next time, I won't forgive you!"
At this time, Xie Xin was in so much pain that he was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale.
He lowered his eyes, hiding the surging resentment in them, but responded obediently: "Father is teaching me a lesson. I know I'm wrong, and I will never do it again!"
He won't be so stupid again!
Seeing that he had stopped making trouble and was quite satisfied with his attitude, Xie Yun waved his hand and had someone carry him back to apply medicine.
After Xie Xin returned, he soon developed a high fever.
Although the doctor examined him and gave him medicine, which quickly reduced his fever, the atmosphere inside the Xie Mansion became increasingly tense.
When Xie Yi returned home after a day off, he smelled the scent of medicine in the air, and a layer of gloom seemed to cover his face.
However, the Xie family’s bad luck did not end there.
Soon people discovered that the flowers and plants in the mansion began to wither and the trees were shedding their leaves.
The gardener couldn't find the cause and could only replace the withered flowers and trees.
However, as more and more flowers and trees in the mansion withered, the number that needed to be replaced also increased.
Such a large-scale replacement naturally cannot be hidden from outsiders.
After all, it is impossible for the gardener to create new flowers and trees out of thin air in the Xie Mansion, so they need to be brought in from outside.
Not only do you have to transport it, you also have to spend money to purchase it.
No one would care about a small purchase. After all, it is not uncommon for wealthy families to replace some flowers and trees from time to time.
But the Xie family not only frequently purchased flowers, plants and potted plants, but even large trees. This was too strange.
Rich families all have yards, and once they plant large flowers and trees, they basically don't move them.
Otherwise it will easily ruin the feng shui of your home and it will look ugly.
But Xie Fu actually bought a lot at one time!
Could it be that he wants to replace all the large flowers and trees in the mansion?
Some curious people quickly turned their attention to the Xie Mansion, and discovered that the flowers and trees in the mansion were dying one after another.
Even though the Xie family tried to cover it up and deliberately chopped the dead large flowers and trees into pieces, it still couldn't stop people from watching the fun.
As the news of the large number of flowers and trees dying in Xie Mansion spread throughout the capital, a new rumor also quickly spread:
What happened in the Xie Mansion recently was all due to the revenge of wronged souls!
Xie Yun's first wife did not die in an accident, but was murdered. Even her family was wiped out and their property was robbed by criminals.
These people had too much resentment after death, so they did not go to the underworld to reincarnate, but stayed in the human world to seek revenge.
Unfortunately, he was suppressed and was never able to take revenge on his enemies.
It was only recently that they escaped and began to retaliate.
Everyone in the Xie Mansion fell ill and the flowers and trees withered. It was all the revenge of the wronged souls!
The rumor spread wider and wider, with more and more details, causing countless people to talk about it.
Even in many teahouses and taverns, there are storytellers telling stories of revenge of wronged souls.
Of course, he didn't dare to say directly that it was Xie Yun from the Xie Mansion, but only said that it was a high-ranking official of the previous dynasty.
In this way, even if the people in the Xie Mansion were angry, they could not report to the police and stop these storytellers from spreading rumors and slander.
Some storytellers even started telling the story of "The Strange Dream of Mandarin Ducks", making the event even more lively.
More and more people suspect that the unfaithful man in "Dream of the Red Chamber" is Xie Yun.
However, these were just rumors and did not shake Xie Yun's position in the officialdom.
However, his originally perfect image, like the gentle breeze and bright moon, completely collapsed among the people and his reputation was ruined.
If he cannot find a way to restore his image among the people, he will have no chance of becoming prime minister.
Just as everyone was talking about it, Xie Yun suddenly submitted a memorial to the palace.
When the memorial was handed to Emperor Taihe, he became furious and immediately sent people to carry Xie Yun into the palace.
Not long afterward, a group of Black Qilin Guards rushed out of the capital on horseback like tigers out of a cage.
The people were so frightened that they kept silent, not knowing where these Black Kirin Guards were going to capture people next.
The people Luo Zheng left behind passed the message to Xie Xiu.
Only then did he realize that Xie Yun had actually reported a shocking case!
