You sell swords, I go crazy, I am a father in Shengjing

Just as Feng Xi said, Yunxiang's last words were full of concessions. She almost wanted to take all the blame on herself in exchange for the safety of her son Su Hua.

If it were an ordinary time, Yunxiang would definitely be considered hypocritical for making such remarks, and people would think that she was trying to curry favor with the powerful families.

Since Yunxiang is also a celebrity in Qingzhou City, it is no secret that she is scheming and doing dirty things.

But as the saying goes, when a dying man is about to speak good words, when most people believe that the dead are the greatest, her previous stains seemed to disappear with her death.

"It would be fine if Xie Wanyin and the others were born commoners, but now they have a big family and a history of framing the people. Tsk tsk, it's hard to deal with them~"

Feng Xi tilted her head and finally thought of a perfect solution for Xie Wanyin.

"As the saying goes, if you can't beat them, then join them. How about we suggest that she just lie down?"

Seeing the girl winking at him playfully, Qi Xiaoxin felt a warm sensation in his heart.

Sometimes he didn't understand whether Little Phoenix was too generous or she had different feelings for him.

Because the more she treated him like this, the more he wanted to get closer to her, desperately.

Fortunately, he always had strong self-control and just bit the tip of his tongue and said:

"As proud as Xie Wanyin is, she would never be willing to be with Su Hua."

After saying that, he reached out his hand and brushed away a strand of messy hair from Feng Xi's forehead and said:

"But in life, there are some things that are beyond her control."

While Feng Xi and Qi Xiao were chatting, many people below, led by some interested people, spoke up and expressed their dissatisfaction with the people in Xie's house.

"Some things are done willingly by both of you. Since you have done it, why hide it? If it really doesn't work, why not just let him go? Why keep him locked up in the mansion?"

"I was wondering why Yunxiang disappeared after that day. It turns out that she was detained in this house. I don't know what some people want to do."

"In front, the people were framed, and in the back, good people were imprisoned. Your Excellency the prefect, please make a decision for us ordinary people!"

……

Two people died in succession because of the affairs of the Xie family. Even the people who had been persuaded by the people sent by Prefect Feng in the beginning and agreed to be exempted from labor service in exchange for silver began to get restless.

The Xie family could easily put them in jail, and even put people like Yunxiang and her son in jail at will. They could even force them to death and have them leave a will to speak for them...

When they thought about how these peasants were probably even worse than ants in the eyes of others, their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

That's right. In their eyes, how could a family as powerful as the Xie family be schemed against by Yunxiang and her son? It was obvious that Xie Wanyin was having an affair with Su Hua, but looked down on Su Hua's family background, so he tried to conceal the matter.

Originally, this matter would not have been spread, but who knew that the scoundrel would be punished by heaven, and it happened to be seen by many people...

Then the Xie family sent people to trap them and wanted to send them all to jail, but the matchmaker would rather die in glory than live in disgrace, and in the end the Xie family's plan failed.

As for Yunxiang and her son...

Some smart people have already felt that they are going to be dealt with by the Xie family.

Otherwise, why would Yunxiang commit suicide and leave a letter, only asking to make a big deal out of this matter in order to save Su Hua.

On a skewer!
Now they are all connected!
As everyone thought more and more about it, their fear of the Xie family and Xie Wanyin grew, so they urged Prefect Feng to speak louder and louder, so that Prefect Feng could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The issue in Mingzhou has not yet been resolved, and a timid man like Feng would not dare to take action to suppress public grievances at this time.

So he finally straightened his clothes and said:

"Come here, bring all the people involved in the murder case back to the government office. This government will write to the court and ask the superiors to make a judgment. Don't worry, Feng Ying will give you an explanation for this matter!"

Prefect Feng said this with great force, not only for all the people present, but also for Xie Wanyin in the main house at the back.

He couldn't hold it back anymore, and he didn't plan to hold it back anymore.

Click!

The jade cup slipped from Xie Wanyin's hand. What was shattered was not only the jade cup, but also all her pride.

Prefect Feng only took away Su Hua and her son, housekeeper Wang and housekeeper Liu from the Xie family, and did not let anyone go into the house to disturb Xie Wanyin.

Although many people were dissatisfied with this, they did not raise any objections.

After all, given the young lady's status, she might not be qualified to be used to question Prefect Feng.

But no matter what, the reputation of this Miss Wanyin, who was born into a noble family and made people drool at first sight, has been completely ruined.

This situation shocked the three members of the Su family who heard it, and they gradually understood.

It turns out that Xie Wanyin was not their benefactor at all, but was most likely the culprit who had teamed up with Su Quan Yunxiang to seize their property.

She didn't come to the government office by chance that day, but came there on purpose to get close to them.

It’s a pity that the three of them refused to accept the toast and finally rejected the other party.

As for how the other party and Yunxiang and her son ended up in this situation, they naturally didn't want to know.

The Su family suddenly realized what was going on, while Magistrate Feng was not slow at all.

He had said long ago that if he really couldn't solve the problem, he would send the news directly to Xie Bin who was in the capital.

Originally, Xie Bin was also the Minister of Justice and had the qualifications to inquire into his own daughter's case.

If it were before, he would have to be on guard against the Dali Temple. After all, the Dali Temple could also intervene in this matter. Who made the Dali Temple Minister also almost die along with Princess Zhaoming?

"Miss, please eat something. It's been almost three days. How can your body bear it?"

Doukou was holding a bowl of chicken soup she had just cooked, her round eyes full of worry and self-blame.

It was all her and Ranxiang’s fault that they didn’t know martial arts and were unable to protect the young lady at the critical moment that day.

However, in the face of Doukou's consolation, Xie Wanyin just glanced at the chicken soup indifferently and did not say a word to Doukou.

What else could she say?
Her innocence was ruined and her mission was not completed. The matter would soon be reported back to the capital. No, I'm afraid it had already been reported back to the capital.

By then, I don't know how many people will laugh at her openly or secretly. She will no longer be the most talented woman in Shengjing that others can't reach, but will become the topic of conversation after dinner.

And Qi Xiao...

She was going to marry Qi Xiao, how could she let that dirty and lowly Su Hua...

Xie Wanyin was troubled by countless thoughts, sometimes it was Qi Xiao, sometimes it was her pride and arrogance, and sometimes it was the cold eyes and ridicule of others.

For a moment, she not only lost her appetite, but also felt extremely nauseous. She began to dry heave under the anxious gazes of Doukou and Ranxiang.

However, what could she vomit out after not eating for several days?

It was just some acid in the stomach. Seeing Xie Wanyin fall limply on the bed, tears silently fell from the corners of her eyes, and she would occasionally call out softly for her brother Qi Xiao.

The weak willow swaying in the wind makes me feel pity for her, and the feeling of brokenness that comes over me is so terrifying.

In response to this, Feng Xi, who was watching from the side, said that she could do that too!

So she turned her head to look at Qi Xiao, and then in Qi Xiao's puzzled look, she raised her hand and took out a bottle of eye drops, yes, red eye drops.

Then he put two drops of eye drops into each eye, and said to Qi Xiao with red eyes:
"Wuwuwuwu, Brother Qi Xiao..."

Qi Xiao: "?"

Okay, okay, others are really crying, but you are different. You just dub yourself and say "wuwuwu", right?
Even tears have to be faked with eye drops, he is also real...

However, before the words "I surrender" came out of his mind, his gaze unconsciously fixed on the girl's clear eyes.

The long eyelashes were soaked in the light red liquid, and they were in clusters, setting off the girl's slightly red eyes and the tip of her nose which was slightly red due to the irritation of her eyes.

She was as fair as snow, and when such fair skin was dotted with a slight red, it was like the deadly poppy, which made Qi Xiao's Adam's apple roll and his heart beat faster.

For a moment, he even really wanted to see a little phoenix cry, cry in his arms...

However, this thought only lasted for a moment, and he reached out to wipe away the false red tears on the girl's face, and said in a gentle and even tender voice:

"Don't cry, brother is here."

Feng Xi was stunned, and her bright eyes just blinked at Qi Xiao for a long time...

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt as if she was about to drown in the other person's gentle and affectionate eyes, and her heart beat faster.

So the words "I'm your father" were not said, and instead a soft "Yeah" was uttered instead.

Glancing sideways at Xie Wanyin who was sobbing and falling asleep outside, Feng Xi finally yawned to cover up and said:

"Boring, I'm sleepy, let's go back."

"it is good."

Qi Xiao nodded, and naturally reached out to hug her, and she also skillfully put her arms around his shoulders.

I don’t know since when, but being sleepy has become the same as wanting to be hugged.

Another two days passed quickly, and rumors were already spreading in Qingzhou City.

Some people said that the young lady of the Xie family was fickle and treacherous, some people said that the Xie family was wealthy and powerful, and some people even said that all the people who participated in this matter would not have a good life in the future.

For a moment, the people involved were like ants on a hot pan, and they were very eager to get an answer from Governor Feng.

Only Prefect Feng sat on the Diaoyutai, looking as if everyone should wait and see, as the matter would surely be resolved.

After all, he has already passed the message on, and considering the love the person above has for his daughter, he will definitely ask about this matter.

As long as the higher-ups come to the rescue, won’t he be free?

Even though he didn't contribute anything in this matter, he definitely didn't pass, right?
What he didn't know was that while he was happily enjoying his life and spending all day with his beautiful concubines and beauties sent by others, a woman, with the help of someone with ulterior motives, entered Qingzhou City with an old woman and a teenager.

The lights in Xie's residence were brightly on late at night. Ever since the disaster that happened that night, the defense of the house had been personally supervised by housekeeper Wang, for fear of any more mistakes.

Just at this time in the middle of the night, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The gatekeeper lazily stepped forward to open the door, but before he could utter "Who are you looking for?", he was restrained by the subordinates of the black-robed leader.

Butler Wang, who noticed the noise, rushed over, but became respectful the moment the man in black robe lifted a corner of his hood, and immediately took the man to the main courtyard.

"I didn't expect him to come in person."

In the dark, Qi Xiao gently held Feng Xi's slender waist and let her lean against him and yawn.

Feng Xi has been going around gossiping these days. Sometimes when she feels sleepy or bored, she leans on him and takes a nap, and he naturally won't refuse her approach.

So he took the initiative to embrace the girl yesterday, becoming her human support and gaining some harmless benefits at the same time.

For example, now he was playing with the girl's fair and slender fingers with one hand, and would interlock their fingers from time to time.

A certain phoenix seemed to be a little tired these days, and it just let him play with it listlessly, but from time to time it would look at him with an expression as if to say, "Are you stupid?"

He naturally didn't care about it.

The man in black robe on the other side finally walked into the main room. Looking at Xie Wanyin, who was sitting quietly on the bed with a pair of empty and red eyes, and whose clothes and hair looked very messy, he finally raised his hand and slapped her.

There was a crisp sound of palms touching cheeks. Doukou and Ranxiang couldn't help but widen their eyes, especially Ranxiang who hurriedly said:
"Master, calm down. The young lady hasn't eaten for a few days. She won't be able to bear it if you keep doing this!"

But in the face of Ranxiang's plea, the man in black robe just said coldly:

"Get out! Get out and wait!"

Upon hearing this, Ranxiang and the others looked at each other, and finally got up and walked out, even considerately closing the door for the two people in the room.

He raised his hand to take off the hood, and without waiting for Xie Wanyin who was slowly getting up to react, he slapped the other person in the face again.

"Xie Wanyin, Xie Wanyin, is this what your father has taught you all these years? Huh?"

At this moment, Xie Bin, who was standing in front of Xie Wanyin, had his brows tightly furrowed and his face looked ferocious. He no longer looked like the upright and honest gentleman he usually was.

"Not only did you abandon your sense of defense, but after the incident, you acted recklessly and directly trapped yourself in someone else's trap! I, Xie Bin, have a great reputation throughout my life, how could I have a daughter as stupid as you!"

Faced with Xie Bin's barrage of scolding, Xie Wanyin, who was already weak, turned pale.

But there were two bright red slap marks on the white, making her look even more pathetic and pitiful.

She was the apple of her father's and brother's eyes, and she had always known it.

Her existence is their capital for foreign negotiations and a step that countless people covet to help them advance further.

But she was ruined. Her one misstep led to eternal regret. Her arrogance and underestimation of her enemies ruined herself...

She knew it was her fault, but she had tried to fix it. She just missed the point by a step and failed to foresee the consequences...

Seeing Xie Wanyin's panic-stricken look, Xie Bin couldn't help but sigh deeply.

What's the point of him blaming his daughter now?
The innocence she had lost could never be regained, but her family's lost reputation could still be saved.

He had just swallowed up most of the power of the Xie family. If a bunch of news that was unfavorable to their first branch came out at this moment, how would he maintain his position as the future Duke in the future?

So he quickly softened his voice and said to the sobbing Xie Wanyin:

"Well, since the affair between you and Su Hua can no longer be concealed, let your father decide tomorrow and let him come to your house and be your son-in-law." (End of this chapter)
