Mrs. Li was determined to make peace, but Mrs. Ji was there to comfort her. In the end, Mrs. Ji was so angry that she fainted on the spot.
When Li saw this, she felt a little guilty. But when she thought of her unborn child, she immediately ignored her ability to get out of bed and ordered her maid to pack her luggage and return to her parents' home with Xie Rufei.
Xie Shengli went to visit Master Huicheng. When he came back and learned about this incident, he was so angry that he immediately called Xie Shenxing and gave him a severe whipping with a whip. Fortunately, Ji family heard the news and came to stop him, so no more lives were lost.
After this incident, the atmosphere at home became more and more depressed.
After hearing the information Hong Rui reported back, Xie Ruzhuo sighed and said, "It's okay to go back." After all, what he did today was really too much. But that Su Bixin made her vigilant. The woman had been peaceful these days, so why did something happen right now
"Hongrui, have you ever dealt with the people in Aunt Su's yard?" Xie Ruzhuo thought for a moment and asked.
Hongrui replied cautiously, "I recognize him, but I'm just not familiar with him. What are your orders, young lady?"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo nodded and said, "I want you to do something for me -" As she said that, she motioned Hongrui to come over and whispered in her ear for a long time.
Hongrui was stunned for a moment, then a little surprised, "Miss, what do you mean?"
"Shh. Don't make any noise about this. Just do it."
Xie Ruzhuo waved his hand and frowned when he saw Hong Rui going out. If this is true, then there may be an answer to what has been troubling her. This Su Bixin is most likely a hidden line planted by Shen Jingci in the Xie Mansion!
But for three days, there was no movement from Su Bixin.
Just when everyone thought the matter had come to an end, they didn't expect that the next day, Xie Shenxing would be copied by Xue Zhijing in the court!
That Xue Zhijing was a stubborn old man. He was always upright, but he had the sour temper of a scholar. During the morning court, he heard a few words from a minister that seemed to be careless, and he immediately became angry and sued Xie Shenxing in the court hall, "He behaves corruptly, spoils his concubines and destroys his wife. He looks like a traitorous minister!"
Emperor Jing was angry and funny, and asked, "Xue Qing, how did you know about this?"
Xue Zhijing knew how to hide it this time, "I overheard a colleague say that it doesn't matter who it is. This matter is really bad. He beat his wife's unborn child to death for my concubine. It's simply crazy!"
Emperor Jing had previously been interested in watching the fun, but when he heard what Xue Zhijing said, his face suddenly sank and he said, "Xie Qing, is this a fact?"
After Xie Shenxing returned to Beijing from abroad, his official position was not promoted, and he only became the Young Master of Zhan Shifu. Now that he heard Emperor Jing's question, he was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Go back to the emperor, I—" But even though he had said this, it was a fact that he beat his wife for a concubine, and he had no excuse.
He didn't speak for a long time. Zhang Shangshu suddenly sneered and said, "Previously, I only thought that the Xie family was noble, but now it seems that it is a pool of dirty water! The adopted son is corrupt, and the eldest son has no status. This time, hehe, he turned out to be A foolish thing who spoils his concubine and destroys his wife.”
As soon as his words came out, those who were clinging to him immediately knelt on the ground and said in unison, "This man is morally corrupt. He is so biased at home, let alone an official?"
Xue Zhijing looked at Xie Shenxing with some pride. He originally found the second son of the Xie family a little displeased, and looked at him with a ostentatious look. Now there is indeed a problem with his style. It is pity that Mr. Xie is a loyal man, but it is a pity that all the sons he gave birth to are not good things!
Emperor Jing had never expected that things would develop to such an extent, and he felt a little headache at the moment. It's really unfair to dismiss this person just because of a family matter. But now the officials have raised the matter to the level of a state matter, making it very difficult for him to deal with it.
Looking at Xie Shenxing again, the cold sweat on his body was dripping down.
In the end, Emperor Jing had no choice but to make the same decision as he did to deal with Xie Shenyan, "Let Xie Shenxing be put to rest for the time being and let him be free for a while."
Xie Shenxing's arms trembled and he just said, "I thank you, Lord, for your kindness!"
Suddenly, except for Xie Shengli, who had not been in court for a long time, the other two sons of the Xie family were deposed. Coupled with the disciples who had been implicated previously, the entire Xie family was in a precarious state, as if a small boat that had passed through big waves would capsize in an instant just waiting for the next wave to hit.
That night, Wen Ruyu came to sort out Xie Ruzhuo's meridians as usual. Seeing her absent-minded state, Wen Ruyu sneered, "What, it's almost time, are you scared?"
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and said, "Have I ever been afraid? I just find it strange. It is clearly a family matter of the Xie family, and no one has spread the news. How could it become so popular that the whole city knows about it?" And by chance, it was spread. In Emperor Jing’s ears!
Hearing this, Wen Ruyu idly put away the folding fan in her hand, nodded Xie Ruzhuo's head, and said, "Do you want to know the reason?"
Xie Ruzhuo turned around and said in surprise, "You know?"
"Hey, my Heavenly Gate knows everything about the world. There is nothing I don't want to know, and there is nothing I don't know."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo's eyes suddenly lit up, "Old monster, come and listen."
Wen Ruyu looked at her with some contempt and said, "Forget it, it's okay to tell you. A few days ago, your incompetent third uncle went out to drink wine. But as soon as he went out, the oiran named Yun Rong went to Prince Duan's Mansion. It’s quite surprising.”
"Who?" Xie Ruzhuo was confused at first, then stuttered, "You mean my third uncle?"
Xie Ruzhuo was not stupid. He only combed it a little, then he understood, and sneered, "Okay, if you work together, you can prevent everything, but it's hard to prevent this domestic thief!"
Now that the entire Xie family is in this state, he actually still has time to drink flower wine! Listen to this, the oiran may be trying to deceive others, but he is actually trying to find out the news.
But, why did Xiao Junyi come to interfere at this time
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo start to think about the plan again, Wen Ruyu immediately put his hand on her head and said, "I am working hard to adjust your body, but you are so unlucky that you are distracted."
Xie Ruzhuo came back to her senses, smiled dryly and said, "Master, aren't I anxious?" As she said that, she said with some dejection, "I know that many things cannot be controlled by my own power, but when I think about it if I die After that, I couldn’t control the scene where the Xie family was being plotted against—"
That time in the previous life was enough. If she had to do it again and the ending was still the same, wouldn't she be too ashamed of the ancestors of the Xie family
"Stupid girl, do you think the Xie family has collapsed so easily in the past century? Your grandfather is very smart. This time the Xie family seems to be about to collapse, but in fact, it is just to use other people's hands to remove some cancers. " Wen Ruyu smiled leisurely, glanced at Ning Xitang, and said, "But I guess Xie Shengli is also depressed at the moment. It seems that what happened to his second son was not within his expectations."
The lanterns in Ningxi Hall were brightly lit and had not been extinguished even in the middle of the night.
Xie Ruzhuo only smiled and did not answer. Wen Ruyu was no better than her. She hadn't experienced what happened in her previous life. How could she know that the Xie family, which seemed indestructible for hundreds of years, would actually fall in an instant!
Seeing that she didn't speak, Wen Ruyu sighed and changed the topic.
"Okay, if you have to worry about everything, you have endless worries." Wen Ruyu shook the folding fan in her hand and said, "Girl, I will leave tomorrow. The flowering period of the soul-eating grass has arrived. There is also a century-old giant python guarding the Soul-Eating Grass, and I must go there personally."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo nodded and said with a smile, "Have a safe trip, master. I'm waiting for your good news."
Although this blood exchange was imminent, there were some things she had to do before that.
Early the next morning, Xie Ruzhuo packed up and went to Ningxi Hall.
Xie Shengli always got up early and was practicing sword skills in the courtyard. Maybe he was really old. The big knife had been put away and replaced with a thin and sharp blade.
Xie Ruzhuo looked on, feeling extremely sour in his heart. After Xie Shengli put away his knife and wiped his sweat, Xie Ruzhuo stepped forward and handed the tea cup, "Grandpa is in good spirits."
Xie Shengli waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm old, it's just for fun. Why are you here so early? Have you paid your respects to your grandma?"
"We have not." Xie Ruzhuo took the tea cup and put it down, then said, "Grandpa, I have something to tell you."
Seeing her serious expression, Xie Shengli understood and entered the room first.
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
Xie Ruzhuo thought about it for a while and then said, "Third uncle has raised an oiran these days, but this oiran seems to have some relationship with officials in the DPRK."
Xie Shengli glanced at her in surprise and asked, "Is there still such a thing?"
Xie Ruzhuo nodded and said, "According to the third prince, the night before the second uncle was reprimanded by the Holy Emperor, the third uncle seemed to have gone to the oiran's place again. My granddaughter just thinks that these two things are a coincidence."
Hearing this, Xie Shengli's brows immediately knitted together, and after a while he said, "I know about this. Zhuo'er should go to your grandma first."
He was not surprised that Xiao Junxi had a source of information. After all, he was born in the royal family, and being well-informed was the first way to save his life.
Xie Ruzhuo complied, "Granddaughter, please retire." She had already told Xie Shengli about the matter, and believed that her grandfather would be on guard. It would be fine if this matter has nothing to do with Third Uncle, but if it does, then we must nip it in the bud!
As soon as Xie Ruzhuo left the hospital, he heard Xie Shengli ordering Lin Mu, "Go and call the third child over."
Behind her, Qianbi asked in a low voice, "Miss, are we still leaving?"
Xie Ruzhuo smiled and said, "Why don't you leave? Let's go and pay our respects to grandma."
After having dinner at Ji's place, she was just about to leave when she saw the boy beside Xie Shensi running over in a hurry and said, "Old lady, go and have a look, the old lady is going to beat the third master now!" "
Ji got up in a hurry and asked, "What happened?"
But the boy hesitated and said, "It was said that the third master went out to visit the brothel, but he ended up telling outsiders what happened to our second master."
Hearing this, Ji's face became anxious at first, but then she slowly sat down and said, "Let's fight. If you don't fight, it won't be effective."
Ji is not confused. On the contrary, a person who has been immersed in wealth all his life has a keen sense of smell and insight.
Now that the Xie family is in such a state, but his own family is causing trouble to his own family, he deserves to be beaten!
The boy was stunned for a moment, a little speechless and said, "Old lady, this-"
Ji rubbed the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "What is this? Go back. After I finish beating him, remember to mix it in with your master."
Seeing that Mr. Ji was determined, the boy had to bow obediently before retreating.
Xie Ruzhuo was relieved now. It seemed that her grandparents were both in good health.
Xie Shensi was indeed beaten severely by Xie Shengli, and he even threatened him, saying, "If you go to a place like that again, I will pretend that I never gave birth to a son like yours!"
But who is Xie Shensi? He can join the same family as Lu, and he has been in business for so many years. He has never been big-headed.
He had only been idle for a few days before he felt itchy again. Even before the injury healed, he was already thinking about Yun Rong's figure.
