As expected, the Ji family pointed at Sanfang and said, "Your store cannot be turned over, so the Xie family will naturally try their best to help you, but it is absolutely impossible to separate the family!"
Hearing Ji's words, Xie Shensi frowned and said, "Mom, you have been partial for so many years. We couldn't share the glory and wealth at the beginning. Do we have to bear the disaster together now?"
"What are you talking about?"
A strong voice was heard outside the door, and then Xie Shengli walked in.
Xie Shensi was afraid of Xie Shengli after all, so he bowed politely and then said, "Father, what my son said is the truth. Over the years, I have worked conscientiously and never had any delays. It was so easy to We have built this industry. But now, due to the Xie family’s involvement, many shops are unwilling to cooperate with the Xie family overnight. The losses in these few days alone are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Dad, my son really can’t afford it. Get up!"
Xie Shengli was angered by his words and said coldly, "What you are saying are all bastard things! What do you mean by being implicated by the Xie family? Aren't you a descendant of the Xie family?"
As soon as Xie Shensi's words came out of her mouth, she said them even more smoothly, "I am a descendant of the Xie family, but how have I ever had the honor of the Xie family? I have no business with the officials in my family, and my wife and children are even more important. Escaping. Not to mention anything else, Huaiyang is seeing the wedding coming soon, but their mother and son are still locked up. One is the legitimate son and the other is the legitimate wife, but they are treated so coldly in the Xie family. Because of this, I don’t know how to accept it. How many supercilious looks!”
Mrs. Ji hates iron and says, "Foolish son, you only know how to feel sorry for them, but do you know what your wife and son did together? I have never treated them badly in these years, but they did such stupid things." , actually killed his own brothers!"
"Aren't these words just a matter of touching your upper and lower lips? We can't separate our families, but at least let my wife and children go!" When Xie Shensi said this, he saw the tears on Ji's face again, and said softly, "Mom, you just say thank you to the family and it won't work if you don't have the same heart, but open your eyes and see for yourself, my family is about to fall apart, how can we bring it together?!"
Hearing this, Xie Shengli was so angry that he walked away and said, "You can't carve out rotten wood! I'm leaving my words here today. It's absolutely impossible to separate the family!"
Xie Shensi still looked at Ji with a stubborn expression.
Xie Rulan on the side has been silent since Xie Shengli was here. Now seeing Xie Shengli gone, she just said aggrievedly, "Grandma, Lan'er misses her mother too."
She was always good at pretending to be pitiful. At this moment, Ji looked at the appearance of the two people and sighed, "That's it, you can do whatever you want. Jin Yu, send someone to the family temple to bring the third lady back."
"Mom, what about my shop?"
Seeing Xie Shensi's aggressive attitude, Ji felt disheartened and said, "Ms. Qiao, go to the account to see how much money you have left, and give it to the third master for emergencies."
Xie Ruzhuo was stunned for a moment, then gently tugged at the corner of Ji's clothes and winked. Ji patted her hand, looked at the two of them and said, "Now you have your wish? Go out."
Xie Shensi also knew that things could not be done in one go, so he had to smile and said, "Mom, please rest first, my son has resigned."
Seeing Xie Shensi taking Xie Rulan out, Xie Ruzhuo said, "Grandma, is this appropriate?" The money in the public account was estimated to be tens of thousands, which was not a large amount. But with Mrs. Lu's temperament, wouldn't there be a big commotion after she returns home
Ji Shi slowly exhaled a breath and said, "Now is the critical moment for the Xie family. If there is another family separation, if nothing else, how will the Holy Spirit consider us?"
As she said that, she looked at the fiery red sky outside and said, "They say that the Xie family has been around for a hundred years, but who knows, there is nothing in between. Your grandfather's method is too risky after all."
Xie Ruzhuo helped Ji into the inner room, placed her to rest, and then said, "Grandma, don't worry, the Xie family will not fall." Even if she tried her best, she would not let the Xie family fall!
In just one day, the rumors in Beijing changed direction again.
Before Xie Ruzhuo's talk about the demon star was finished, rumors about Miss Shen's family leaked out again. The Taoist saying is "Whoever gets the Shen family's daughter will conquer the world", and the Taoist priest also predicted that this girl was the order of the former empress, and whoever she marries will be the future eminence. Not only that, if the person she marries is not strong-willed enough, this woman can imitate the empress of the previous dynasty.
This daughter of the Xie family has not yet married the third prince, and the third prince has been unconscious for several days, which shows that the rumor is indeed true. Now this motto came from the mouth of the same person, and for a while, the people in the capital spread it one after another.
"Miss, that old ghost really has a trick, and now it's spread all over the capital." Hong Rui said with a smile, but then she frowned a little when she thought of the wind in the capital, "It's just that she asked the Taoist priest to do that before How can you praise her so highly even if she belittles you?"
Xie Ruzhuo looked back and slowly sneered, "The tree is big and attracts the wind."
"Check! Even if you dig through the capital, you still have to dig out that stinking Taoist priest!" After Shen Jingci learned about this prophecy, she was so angry that she immediately threw the vase in her hand and ordered in a hateful voice.
Shi Mo got the order and hurriedly went to do it. He still held Qin aside and frowned, "Miss, isn't this rumor quite beneficial to you? Why are you so angry?"
Besides, that Taoist priest is really capable, maybe this rumor is true.
Shen Jingci scolded with a cold look on her face, "What do you know? This is just flattery!" Just imagine, a concubine of the second prince who has never been married has been approved as the empress. Not to mention that after she passes the throne, the princess will not be able to tolerate her; even after Xiao Junhan ascends the throne, she may not be allowed to live! After all, no one would take the risk of a woman who could take over his world at any time!
But these dangers are just a thing for later. The most important thing at the moment is that the current emperor is in the prime of life, strong and has not yet established a crown prince. He would not allow a woman to interfere with his decision, so the Taoist priest's words were equivalent to completely pushing him to death!
Even if you are lucky enough to survive now, you will be in danger later.
What a Xie Ruzhuo, I really underestimated you!
Shen Jingci did have a good idea, but she also forgot about a potentially dangerous person-Xiao Junyi.
"Did the Taoist priest really say that?" Xiao Junyi was so shocked that he sat up from his chair when he heard the servant's report.
The servant said respectfully, "Hui Wang, it is indeed true."
Hearing this, Xiao Junyi immediately frowned deeply and said, "Can a woman really determine the fate of the world?" He wanted to sneer to show his disdain, but the anxiety in his heart told him Can't laugh.
It was the order of the former empress. What a figure she was. A woman could change the dynasty and turn everything upside down!
Besides, everyone knew who had taken possession of Shen Jingci at the night banquet. Is it possible that everything he has right now is just a temporary success
The more Xiao Junyi thought about it, the more he became afraid, and murderous intentions arose in his heart, saying, "No matter what, Shen Jingci must not be left here!"
A rumor in the capital instantly pushed the daughter of the Shen family to the forefront. And this is just Xie Ruzhuo's first move.
But now, Xie Ruzhuo has no time to plan the next move, just because Wen Ruyu is back.
After getting up from sleep at noon, I heard Jiang Zhu coming to report, "Miss, Divine Doctor Wen is here."
Xie Ruzhuo was drowsy when he said casually, "I understand—who are you talking about?"
After realizing that it was Wen Ruyu, Xie Ruzhuo was surprised that he would come to his place upright, and at the same time he got out of bed in a hurry and said, "Please come in quickly."
Not long after, he saw Xie Ruzhuo dressed in dusty gray clothes, with thin stubble growing even on his chin.
Whenever Xie Ruzhuo saw him, he always looked cheerful. How had he ever been so depressed like today
Xie Ruzhuo had a bad premonition in his heart and suppressed it forcefully, "Master, it's been a long journey, I'll make you some tea."
Wen Ruyu said in a deep voice, "I came here to tell you something. The Soul-Eating Grass was taken away by someone before anyone else could."
"What!"
As soon as Xie Ruzhuo held the teapot, it fell to the ground. The hot tea splashed and wet the hem of her skirt, but she didn't notice it at all. She only said anxiously, "Master said he was sure, how could someone take it away?"
"When I went there, the Soul-Eating Flowers were still in season for one day, but they had already been harvested! If I were to find out who took it away before me, I would definitely crush this person to ashes!"
There was a rare gloom in Wen Ruyu's eyes, which showed that the anger in her heart was raging.
Xie Ruzhuo fell down on the chair and murmured, "What should we do?"
"For the present plan, we can only take the risk." Wen Ruyu sighed and said, "I will try my best to protect you."
When Xie Ruzhuo came back to her senses, she felt that the trembling hands were not hers. She tried her best to ask, "Without the Soul-Eating Grass, how sure is his life?"
Wen Ruyu said without thinking, "Ninety percent."
Without the Soul-Eating Grass, it would be equivalent to putting the lives of two people on the line.
"What if my life is used as a sacrifice?"
Wen Ruyu didn't expect that she would bring up the old thing again, and immediately said, "No."
"Master, I have no choice. What if it's the first option?" The expectation in Xie Ruzhuo's eyes was so eager that Wen Ruyu couldn't bear to look directly at it.
After a long time, he said, "If it's the first type, he's 100% sure."
"Okay, that's the first one." Xie Ruzhuo stood up and said, "Master, the life of the third prince is in your hands."
After saying this, she bowed solemnly.
Wen Ruyu felt sour in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly and said, "I'll go see him and then make plans."
He still couldn't risk Xie Ruzhuo's life!
Seeing Wen Ruyu leave, Xie Ruzhuo slowly sat down on the table with tears in his eyes.
About half an hour later, she stood up and called Hong Rui, "Go to the old ghost and get me a pack of Hehuan Powder."
Hongrui was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Miss, what do you want that thing for?"
But when she saw Xie Ruzhuo's eyes, she immediately lowered her head and said, "I'm out of line, I'll go right now."
Xie Ruzhuo's eyes became brighter and brighter after being soaked with tears. And the perseverance in her eyes seemed to have made some kind of determination.
She stood for a while, then walked to the dressing table, scattered her black hair, and combed it slowly.
When Wen Ruyu returned to the palace, it was already dusk.
At dusk, the devil comes out.
When Zi Xiao who was guarding the hall saw Wen Ruyu, he immediately came out to greet him and said, "The miracle doctor is back. Please go and see His Highness. He has been in a coma for five or six days!"
