I was switched at birth after transmigrating into a book, but I used my superpowers to wreak havoc!

Chapter 54 The Messenger, Nightmare

Xie Zheng was about to go and check, but Tu Jiaojiao suddenly pulled him behind her, drew her knife and walked over silently.

Ever since they learned about the bandits, the two of them secretly hid swords and knives in their beds to prevent any accidents.

Xie Xiu reluctantly drew his sword and followed closely behind her to protect her.

Soon, the two saw what had just made the noise.

It looks like an ordinary purse, and it was bought casually from a roadside stall. The material is very ordinary and not valuable.

Tu Jiaojiao subconsciously wanted to pick up something in the purse, but was stopped by Xie Xiu.

Xie Xiu first tried to poke it with the tip of his sword, but found no danger. Then he let Tu Jiaojiao step back, took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, stretched out his arm, carefully opened the purse, and poured out the contents.

With a soft "click" sound, a small pebble fell out, along with a ball of paper.

Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao were both a little surprised when they saw this. He carefully unfolded the paper ball, held it under the lamp and took a look, and was even more shocked!

There were only six words written on the note: Xie Jia eloped, be careful!

Xie Xiu frowned. Was this a reminder? But who would do that?

Since the other party knew about Xie Jia's elopement, he should be in the capital.

Even he only knew that Xie Jia was likely to elope in the near future, but he was not sure of the specific date.

The reason why it is very likely is that things in the world are ever-changing, and a very small change may have a ripple effect and make things go in a completely different direction.

Just like Xu's attempt to swap his daughter, if successful, his daughter would have to replace Xu's daughter and be exiled to the border.

But he prevented the substitution and sent Xu's mother and daughter to the government, and the incident ended with Xu's mother and daughter being exiled to the border.

He deliberately exposed his identity to attract Xie Yun, which also made Chen Fang want to kill him in advance.

So Xie Xiu was not completely sure whether Xie Jia would elope again. He just wanted to avoid the time when he would run into Xie Jia.

As a result, the girl eloped with someone at this time.

It seemed that the previous changes had not affected her. Or perhaps Chen Fang was so anxious to deal with him that she ignored Xie Jia, making it easier for her to elope with someone else.

Xie Xiu analyzed secretly, but what he didn't know was that the reason why Xie Jia eloped was actually because Chen Fang had been too strict with her recently.

Ever since his news reached the capital, rumors have been rife throughout the capital, making Chen Fang so angry that she developed mouth ulcers and blisters, and was rarely happy.

Later, when Xie Yun returned to Beijing, the two of them had another argument over Xie Xiu.

Xie Yun also discovered Xie Jia's misbehavior and was so angry that he punished her severely. He even blamed Chen Fang for not educating her daughter well.

Chen Fang also knew that she was in the wrong for indulging her daughter too much, so even though she was dissatisfied with Xie Yun's accusations, she did not dare to refute them.

She took out her anger on Xie Jia and asked the nanny beside her to teach Xie Jia the rules.

But Xie Jia had been spoiled for a long time, so how could she be willing to be controlled by a nanny?

She had made a scene once, and Xie Yun had punished her even more harshly. Wasn't she filled with rage? Did she want to escape from this place that bound her?

However, although Xie Xiu was surprised, he didn't care why Xie Jia eloped.

Anyway, it's just like Sun Qingqing, with a broken brain.

Instead of enjoying a good life, you are rushing to seek your own death.

This time he didn't stop Xie Jia from eloping with someone and taking her back to Beijing. He wanted to see what would happen to Xie Jia!

Tu Jiaojiao came over, looked at the words in surprise, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Who do you think threw this thing in?

I actually specifically told you that Xie Jia eloped with someone. But what does this "be careful" mean? What are we being told to be careful about?

"Whatever it is, it's always better to be careful."

Xie Xiu poured a glass of water, soaked the note and the pebble in it, washed his hands with water, and carefully checked the doors and windows.

The door was closed, but the window was open a crack for ventilation. The other party must have thrown something in through the crack in the window.

He picked up his sword again, opened the door and went out, taking down the lantern and examining everything.

Tu Jiaojiao wanted to follow them anxiously, but was worried about the child, so she had to stay in the house with a knife in hand, listening nervously.

Fortunately, there was no unusual noise outside. She waited for a while and Xie Xiu came back.

Tu Jiaojiao quickly asked him, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

"There are some traces left on the wall. The other party must have climbed over the wall to get in, climbed over the wall to get out, and is gone.

It hasn't rained recently, so there are no footprints on the ground. Let's go to sleep first. That person probably won't come back tonight."

After Xie Xiu finished speaking, he washed his hands again, put away his sword, and prepared to go to bed.

In the cradle, Xie Ying listened quietly to their conversation, feeling curious: [Strange, who could have sent this letter? Could it be my uncle?]

Xie Zheng was preparing to go to bed, but when he heard this, he stumbled and fell directly onto the bed!

He only has one uncle, but that man should be dead!

Where did Yingying's uncle come from?

Could it be that my uncle wasn't dead? And was hiding in the capital? Keeping an eye on the Xie Mansion?

Otherwise, how could he know such a secret thing as Xie Jia eloping with someone?

If the letter was really sent by my uncle, does it mean that my uncle has someone he can use?

How has he been doing these years?

Just as Xie Zheng was thinking about this, he heard Xie Ying say again: [Hey, if Dad and Mom knew that my uncle was a eunuch in the palace, they would definitely be distressed, right?]

Xie Xiu's veins popped up instantly and he clenched the quilt tightly in his hands.

My uncle actually...

No, he has to return to Beijing as soon as possible and find a way to find his uncle!

Because of Xie Ying's thoughts, Xie Xiu didn't sleep well the whole night. He kept having nightmares and finally woke up from the nightmare.

He dreamed that Tu Jiaojiao was hacked to death. In order to avenge her, he had no choice but to become a eunuch. He was pressed on a chopping board and his penis was cut off. He was in excruciating pain.

It was clearly just a dream, but he felt a pain in the dream that was worse than death, as if he had really been cut by someone.

Xie Xiu woke up with a start, and was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.

Almost instinctively, he quickly reached out and touched it, until he confirmed that it was fine and there was no wound. Then he let out a long breath and felt like he was alive again.

But he still couldn't help feeling scared.

That nightmare just now was so real!

It was as real as if he had actually experienced it once.

No, he did.

If he had not heard his daughter's voice, stopped the switch, and found out that Xie Jia had eloped, and that he was being plotted against, he would have experienced everything in his dream according to the original development.

His wife died tragically, and he had no way to seek revenge, so he could only despair and embark on the road of no return.

Just like my uncle.

Yingying said that her uncle entered the palace and became a eunuch.

So, could the note last night have been sent by my uncle?

Did my uncle choose to enter the palace just like him, for revenge?

The more Xie Xiu thought about it, the uglier his expression became.

When Tu Jiaojiao woke up, the first thing he said was: "Jiaojiao, I want to leave as soon as possible and go to the capital."

Tu Jiaojiao thought of what she heard last night and immediately understood what he was thinking.

She silently held Xie Xiu's hand to comfort him, smiled gently at him, and said only one word: "Okay."
