The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 196 Why is that person not him (first update)
Xu Jing, Xiao Yi and Yao Shaoyin were all focused on the yamen servant who was talking, and did not notice Xin Lei's actions. It was not until they saw the yamen servant's expression that his heart skipped a beat.

The next breath, Xu Jing only heard a "clang" behind her. She turned around suddenly and saw Zhou Xian, who had rushed over at some point, kicked Xin Lei to the ground.

And lying on the ground not far away was a gleaming dagger. It was obvious that the sound just now was made when this thing fell to the ground.

Xu Jing was stunned, and immediately understood what had just happened, and quickly looked at Zhou Xian who was standing in front of her.

When a group of people went in to search just now, Xu Jing thought that he would also run in, but unexpectedly he stayed in the outer courtyard like them, without saying a word, and Xu Jing ignored him.

Suddenly, Xu Jing frowned and said, "Your hand is injured, go and bandage it."

There was a scratch on the back of Zhou Xian's right hand as long as his little finger. It was dripping blood. It must have been cut when he knocked off the dagger.

Zhou Xian raised his hand, glanced at it, and said casually: "It's okay, it's just a little..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Xu Jing's brows frowning even more tightly, her eyes full of disapproval. She paused and quickly changed her words, "I, I'll go right away."

Xu Jing was silent, and when she saw Xin Lei not far away who had been suppressed by the government officials who came over, she whispered: "Thanks to you just now."

By the time she reacted, it was already too late. If it weren't for Zhou Xian, she would have been injured at least.

week Wrong, I'm just childish and impulsive. As I am, I can't protect my family at all..."

Seeing the pain in his eyes, Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly.

Is this a blessing in disguise?Is this guy finally sensible?

Zhou Xian was obviously not used to saying these self-examination words. The more he spoke, the redder his face became. "I, I didn't disapprove of you before. I always thought you were very powerful. The reason why brother asked me to study with you is that I You know, I, I will definitely learn from it in the future.

I'm going to take care of the wound first! "

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Xu Jing looked at his quickly leaving figure with some confusion.

This guy, who ignored her before and dared to love her, was just making trouble.

She also said that she would learn from her obediently in the future... It's not that she is cold-blooded, she doesn't have that much energy to teach a half-grown child...

Suddenly, a shadow fell in front of Xu Jing's eyes, which instantly brought her back to her thoughts. She raised her eyes and saw Xiao Yi standing in front of her, with a deep voice, "Are you okay?"

Xu Jing blinked, "What can happen to me? Xin Lei's knife was knocked over by Wu Lang before it even touched me."

Xiao Yi stared at her and said softly, "Hmm", but his hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and his heart seemed to be heavy with a stone.

His mood at this time was indescribably complicated.

He was very happy that someone saved her, but he was extremely upset as to why that person was not him.

Obviously just now, he was standing closer to her.When she unconsciously watched the man leave, a trace of panic suddenly passed through his heart, and he suddenly felt that if he didn't do something, she would leave him.

Xu Jing looked at Xiao Yi in front of her with some confusion. Now that the two murderers have been found, the Smiling Killer case has been solved. Why doesn't he seem unhappy?

She unconsciously glanced ahead and saw Xin Lei walking out under the pressure of several government officials. She unconsciously thought of Jiang Yanxia and whispered: "Who will try him next? The Marquis of Huaiyin Will other people in the government be implicated by him?"

Xiao Yi suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart and said: "If the Criminal Department takes over this case, it will be responsible to the end. As for whether other people in the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion will be implicated, it is necessary to find out whether their family members know about his crime or whether they have any Even if there is no shielding behavior, he has committed such a heinous crime, and his position as the heir apparent cannot be preserved, and the title of the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion may also be reduced."

Indeed, if you think about it, every family in ancient times suffered. How could Xin Lei's behavior be completely out of line with the family?

It's just that Mrs. Jiang is pitiful.

Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and glanced at Xu Jing, who was silent, and said: "I was able to solve the case this time thanks to Madam Xu. Compared with the remuneration agreed upon earlier and the effort Madam Xu put in, I seem to be too harsh. Madam Xu, what do you want?"

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment and said in a funny tone: "I don't let anyone take advantage of this, it's just for Xiao Shilang's sake. If Xiao Shilang feels uneasy, just increase my remuneration next time. I Let’s go back first.”

After saying that, she turned around and walked out the door. She didn't realize that the man behind her had been staring at her back, without moving for a long time.

That night, Xiao Yi sent someone over and told Xu Jing that their people had caught up with He Qiusheng, but it was too late. He Qiusheng was dead. He committed suicide by hanging himself, with a suicide note written by himself.

He simply wrote one sentence in his suicide note - Looking back on my life, half of my life has been in vain, half of my life has been riddled with sins, and I can only die to apologize.The local widower conducted an autopsy and determined that he committed suicide, and the handwriting on the suicide note was also confirmed to be written by himself.

Xu Jing guessed that he must have guessed that Xin Lei would not let him go. In extreme fear and pain, he chose to die.

So far, the two criminals in the Smiling Killer case have all been brought to justice.

The next day, Xu Jing sent the fifty jars of prepared Lithospermum ointment to Zhao's house. As soon as she returned to Zhou's house, Manager Yuan came up to her with a strange expression and said: "Ms. Xu, you have guests. "

Xu Jing was slightly stunned when she saw Manager Yuan wrinkled his old face and said, "I don't know if I feel wrong. I look at Madam Xu as a guest... the visitor is not good. Madam Xu should be careful. If it's the old lady, I misunderstood, so I will apologize to Madam Xu in advance."

Xu Jing's eyes darkened.

In Xijing, there were only a few people who would look for her with ill intentions.

Because she was mentally prepared, when Xu Jing walked into the hall and saw Wu Youbing sitting on a chair like an uncle, shaking his legs, she felt quite calm and said quietly: "Should I praise you?" Wu Sanlang said, Wu Sanlang didn't block people on the way this time, he actually went to the door to ask for an audience in a serious manner."

Her words were full of sarcasm. Normally, Wu Youbing would jump after hearing this. However, he was not affected at all this time. The greasy smile on the corner of his mouth never went away, and his eyes were unscrupulous. He looked Xu Jing up and down, and sneered: "After all, we are about to renew our relationship. As for me, I still care about my women very much, so I have to give you some dignity."

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment when she saw Wu Youbing stood up, walked up to her with a frivolous expression, stretched out his hand to lift her veil, "What are you doing wearing this broken veil all day long? Although you have a bit of a nasty temper, but The face is pretty good..."

Xu Jing looked at him coldly, raised her hand and slapped his hand away, saying in a cold voice: "Wu Sanlang, please respect yourself, I don't welcome disciples here."

"you!"

Wu Youbing tightly covered the red back of his hand and glared at Xu Jing. Suddenly something seemed to come to his mind. A disgusting smile appeared on his face again, and he said triumphantly: "You can have this attitude towards other men, but you can't do it to other men." It's not okay to be obsessed with your own husband. I'm here to tell you that during this period of time, you should clean up the messy stalls outside. I have decided to ignore the past grudges and remarry you. Of course, someone like you, who is unruly and unruly, A woman who has been expelled from the family and has been married once is not qualified to be my first wife. I am willing to take you as my concubine, which is considered to be very tolerant, so you don't have to be too moved."
