Outside the door, Ximen Xiaoyue's men were guarding it, while Prime Minister Xia's men were outside the yard. After the door was closed, no sound from the inner room could be heard outside.
These two people had come here with Prime Minister Xia before, and they usually took more than an hour to leave, so they found a stall outside and sat down, planning to spend half an hour before going back.
A scream tore through the air.
However, the scream was so tragic and out of tune that it made people think someone was slaughtering pigs.
Ximen Xiaoyue opened the door, holding a bloodstained dagger in her hand, her face cold, "Come on, the Prime Minister accidentally fell down and was stabbed in the crotch by the dagger, please call a doctor."
The maid leaned over and took a look. She saw Prime Minister Xia rolling on the ground, covering his crotch with his hands. Blood was flowing out and winding on the ground. She bowed and said, "I will go right away."
Ximen Xiaoyue walked back, wiped the dagger with a handkerchief, squatted on the ground, and looked at Prime Minister Xia who was rolling and screaming. "Does it hurt?"
Prime Minister Xia wanted to reach out and grab Ximen Xiaoyue's neck. The pain restored some of his strength, but he still couldn't pinch her. With blazing flames in his eyes, he said word by word: "Ximen Xiaoyue, I swear that your Ximen family will be extinct."
Ximen Xiaoyue laughed, "I don't know whether the Ximen family will be extinct, but you, Xia Huaijun, will definitely be extinct. Xia Zian is your only daughter, and you can't keep her. If she dies, your lineage will be cut off."
"Women have the most vicious hearts. You are so cruel!" Prime Minister Xia said gritting his teeth.
Ximen Xiaoyue said coldly, "You shouldn't have provoked me. I'm not Yuan Cuiyu, who could allow you to hurt me for more than ten years and endure it silently. Whoever betrayed me, I will definitely get it back. When you walk out of this door, you can tell everyone that it was me, Ximen Xiaoyue, who broke your life, if you have the nerve to say it."
She threw down the dagger, without even looking at him, closed the door and went out.
She walked into a side room and said with a wooden face, "I have avenged myself. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice."
There was a person in the room facing the wall. There was a small hole in the wall through which he could see everything in the next room. He turned around and it was Murong Jie.
He looked at Ximen Xiaoyue and smiled, "I am in a good mood today. You can make a request."
Ximen Xiaoyue was silent for a moment, "I hope the prince will help me leave the capital without any worries."
"Okay!" Murong Jie strode out, "This king has already arranged for you to leave the capital. I'm sure your wife has enough money to let you sleep peacefully for the rest of your life."
What could be more satisfying than making Xia Huaijun childless? He had always wanted to kill his daughter. If he did, he would never have a child again. Xia Zian was his only flesh and blood in this world. However, he had to kill her because if he didn't kill her, she would kill him.
Murong Jie left the backyard and got on the carriage, where someone was waiting for him.
"There's no need for you to go and see it in person." Xiao Xiao said lightly.
"This scene should have been seen by Zi'an, but she couldn't see it, so I saw it for her." Murong Jie said.
Xiao Xiao looked at him, "Are you really tempted? Aren't you afraid of being restrained and being controlled by others in the future?"
Murong Jie leaned back and said, "I have no ambitions, nor do I want to achieve anything great. Why should I be afraid of being restrained? It is the fear of being timid and afraid to pursue something that is a sign of cowardice."
"Don't imply anything else. I'm different from you." Xiao Xiao turned his face away.
"You and your wife haven't seen each other for many years. Why don't you get divorced as soon as possible?" Murong Jie asked.
"There's no need for that!" Xiao Xiao's voice was a little gloomy, as if the air suddenly stagnated and he couldn't breathe.
"I am not very clear about what happened between you two. It's just that you loved Zhuangzhuang to death, but in the end, when you could have gotten him, you gave up."
Xiao Xiao turned his head, lifted the curtain and looked at the quiet and empty alley outside, "Maybe this is better."
Without any worries, even if one day you die on the battlefield and return home wrapped in your horse's hide, no one will be too sad.
Murong Jie didn't talk about this topic anymore, and silence spread between the two of them.
After a long while, Xiao Xiao said, "Prime Minister Xia has suffered a great setback. Xia Zian is his only daughter. I hope he can show mercy to her for this reason. Isn't it for this purpose that you went to find Ximen Xiaoyue? You have good intentions."
Murong Jie said calmly, "No, it is almost impossible for him to let Zi'an go. I instigated Ximen Xiaoyue only because I was unhappy recently and wanted to have some fun."
He was the culprit behind the zombie feast last night. Hundreds of people were bitten, it was all carefully arranged by them. But taking away his life was considered a bargain for him.
But, everything is only temporary.
Xiao Xiao smiled faintly, obviously not believing it.
——I am the dividing line between the miserable prime minister and the waiter——
In the prime minister's residence, the old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over when she saw her son's lower body covered in blood.
Prime Minister Xia fainted from the pain. When the doctor arrived, he shook his head and said, "Madam, there is nothing I can do."
"Will he die?" The old lady's eyes were cold.
"It won't threaten his life, but from now on, the Prime Minister will be no different from the eunuchs in the palace." The doctor sighed.
The old lady spat out blood in anger. This meant that his lineage would be extinct from now on.
She ordered someone to take out a large sum of money and give it to the doctor, and said in a cold voice: "I hope you can keep this matter a secret. If even the slightest word gets out, the lives of your whole family will be in danger."
The doctor waved his hand and said, "I don't want the silver. This matter concerns the Prime Minister's reputation, so I will keep silent about it." He didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse to take the silver, so it was better not to take it.
"That's good!" said the old lady.
The doctor hesitated for a moment, "The Prime Minister's wound has been treated. I won't tell anyone, but I can't guarantee that the person who treated the Prime Minister's wound won't tell anyone."
The old lady sat down slowly, "Someone, send a doctor!"
The doctor bowed and left.
The old lady sat by the bed, her whole body trembling, angry and sad, "Come on, bring up the people who serve the Prime Minister."
The two attendants only found out about the Prime Minister's accident when Ximen Xiaoyue's maid informed them. By that time, the doctor had already come.
Two men came in, knelt in front of the bed, and trembled.
"Tell me, what's going on!" the old lady asked sternly.
The attendant said, "To reply to the old lady, I don't know what happened. The Prime Minister ordered us to wait outside Miss Ximen's yard, but I didn't expect this to happen."
"Miss Ximen?" The old lady flexed her fist, her nails digging into her flesh. "He actually went to see Ximen Xiaoyue?"
"In reply to the old lady, Ximen Xiaoyue's maid came to see the Prime Minister today and said that Miss Ximen knew the whereabouts of the eldest lady, so the Prime Minister went there."
"Stupid, stupid!" The old lady stamped her feet and looked at Prime Minister Xia with disappointment.
Although the marriage with the Lin family has not been made public, there are still people who know about it. How can he still go to see Ximen Xiaoyue? He has been suffering from women all his life, but he doesn't know that when women become vicious, they are more powerful than wolves
