Chapter 108 Murderous Intent, Testing
This day happened to be a holiday.
As soon as Xie Xiu and the other two returned home, they heard about what happened last night.
Xie Yi and Xie Xin's faces changed immediately and they ran to see Chen Fang.
Qu Wan'er brought back three sons and one daughter, the oldest of whom was only ten years old. The two were not worried that these people could threaten their status, but were only worried about Chen Fang's health.
After Xie Jia eloped, Chen Fang became so angry that she fell seriously ill. She has been bedridden for many days and has not recovered.
When they came back earlier, they noticed that Chen Fang looked very bad.
Now that such a big thing has happened in the family, how can they not be worried?
Sure enough, when the two arrived at Chen Fang's Du Hengyuan, they saw that she had applied thick powder on her face, but it still couldn't hide her haggard face.
Especially those eyes.
His eyes, which were originally bright and lively, now had not only yellowing whites but also red bloodshot veins, and he looked as if he had suddenly aged twenty years.
The two brothers' faces changed drastically. Xie Xin's eyes turned red with anger. He clenched his fists and turned to rush out: "I'm going to kill that bitch!"
"shut up!"
"Fourth brother!"
Chen Fang and Xie Yi spoke at the same time, and the two maids stepped forward and blocked Xie Xin's way.
Xie Yi grabbed Xie Xin and scolded him unhappily, "What are you doing? It's already this late, and you're still trying to cause trouble!"
Xie Xin's face was full of grievance and dissatisfaction: "I didn't mean to cause trouble, I just..."
He was just angry and wanted to beat the bitch to death to prevent his mother from continuing to be sad.
Xie Xin did not say the following words.
After being stopped, he had actually calmed down and knew that this was absolutely not something he could do.
Even though Qu was just a lowly concubine, now that she had entered the mansion, she had passed the test and was nominally his stepmother.
If he beat and killed that bitch, not only would his father not let him go, but the court laws and the public opinion of the world would not let him go either.
Although he understood it, Xie Xin was even angrier.
He clenched his fists and said unwillingly: "Are we just going to watch helplessly?"
Xie Yi looked at him warningly and said coldly, "Once she entered the mansion, she was just a concubine. The four children she gave birth to are just illegitimate children. You're going to call for war and killing over such a small matter. What kind of person is that?"
Although Chen Fang was very pleased with her son's protection, she still agreed more with Xie Yi's attitude.
It is a good thing that her son protects her, but she doesn't need her son to get into trouble!
"Your brother is right, Xin'er. You need to learn more and stop being so impulsive. You'll easily be taken advantage of, and in the end, you won't be able to hurt the enemy, but will end up ruining yourself."
Chen Fang said this, asked the two to sit down, and then told them everything that happened last night.
As for the slap Xie Yun gave her and the speculations in her mind, she didn't mention a single word about it.
She originally wanted to say it, but Xie Xin's impulsive personality made her give up the idea.
If she really told Xie Xin all those things, who knows what kind of trouble this man could cause her?
It would be better to find another time to talk to Xie Yi alone.
Sure enough, Xie Xin was already furious just by hearing that the Black Kirin Guards had escorted Qu and others to Xie's house.
"They must have done it on purpose!"
Chen Fang lowered her eyes. "This is indeed strange, but since they have come to the mansion, they must abide by the rules. You don't have to worry about this kind of thing. The imperial examination is more important."
On the other side, Xie Xiu also heard what happened last night from Tu Jiaojiao.
When Qu Wan'er and others came last night, Tu Jiaojiao was sleeping soundly and did not wake up in the middle of the night.
However, when she woke up this morning, she learned what happened last night from the servants.
Liu Zhichun specially trained a few servants to send to her. Now she is very happy to use them, not as restricted as at the beginning.
Xie Xiu laughed sarcastically, "The Xie Mansion is only this big, and now that they're here, their living space will be a bit cramped.
Naqu's daughter is already eight years old, only two years younger than our Rou'er. The old lady will definitely let her live in Songheyuan, so we can just take Rou'er back."
Tu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately looked forward to it.
But before Qu's daughter moved into Songhe Courtyard, Xie Xiuxian was called over by Xie Yun.
Xie Xiu was brought to Xie Yun's study. He greeted him as usual, and then saw Xie Yun looking at him with a deep gaze: "Did you hear about what happened last night?"
Xie Xiu frowned: "Is father talking about that concubine?"
Xie Yun had been observing his reaction, but couldn't find any flaws on his face, so he deliberately asked, "They had been living peacefully outside, but last night someone suddenly broke into Qu's room and set fire to her, intending to burn her to death. Who do you think was responsible?"
Xie Xiu looked at Xie Yun in confusion: "Father, I haven't learned the art of divination, so I can't figure out who did it.
However, since this matter has alarmed the Black Kylin Guard, I think the Black Kylin Guard will definitely be able to find out the real culprit.
Now that they have entered the mansion, I don't think any thieves would dare to cause trouble in the Xie Mansion. My father just needs to wait for the Black Kirin Guards to find out the result.
If Father is anxious to find the murderer, he can also ask that aunt to see if she has offended anyone recently, or if there are any suspicious people nearby."
Seeing that his answer was flawless, Xie Yun had no choice but to ask again, "I heard that you and Jiang Er are quite close? That man is a notorious playboy in the capital, and his reputation is very bad. If you get too close to him, you will inevitably be implicated by him."
Xie Xiu immediately smiled bitterly: "But I was able to enter the Imperial College with the grace of Concubine Jiang. If I deliberately exclude Jiang Er, wouldn't that be ungrateful?
What's more, I've heard that Jiang Er is petty and vindictive, and that anyone who offends him will suffer a bad outcome. If I offend him, and he takes revenge on my father, wouldn't that make me even more guilty?
What he said made so much sense that Xie Yun had no way of refuting it and couldn't help feeling depressed.
He could only say calmly, "In short, you still have to be careful. Be careful not to fall into his trap, or be dragged into trouble by him and make a big mistake without realizing it."
Xie Xiu agreed obediently. Xie Yun thought about the speculations Chen Fang made last night, and felt more and more annoyed. He simply waved his hand and asked him to leave, so that he would not be bothered by him.
After Xie Xiu left, he immediately called his servant Dong Shun and said, "Go and investigate personally to see what he has been doing in the Imperial College these days. Be discreet and don't let anyone discover your identity."
Dongshun quickly agreed and walked out quickly.
Xie Yun thought about it and went to Songheyuan again to apologize to the old master and the old lady.
Naturally, the two would not blame him, so not long after, Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao heard the news that the concubine's daughter had moved to Songheyuan.
Tu Jiaojiao immediately asked Xie Xiu: "Can we go pick up Rou'er now?"
Xie Xiu smiled slightly: "Well, let's go over there now, maybe we can see a good show."
When Xie Ying heard that there was going to be a good show, she instantly became excited!
【Take me with you, I want to go too! 】
