Chapter 438
Changsun quickly recovered from her confusion and argued forcefully: "Xin'er, this is all a misunderstanding. There must be some misunderstanding. Listen to me, your cousin and I are the closest to you in this world." You are a human being, there is absolutely no way we will harm you."

Wen Jianjia also cried pitifully: "Yes, cousin, your majesty has so many things to do, how could he be in her carriage? We must be an eyesore to others and have been retaliated against. Cousin, you have to believe us, can you?" We cannot be allowed to suffer this unjust injustice!”

Xie Xin saw that it was already this time, and the two of them were still arguing, because the only softness her mother had towards them was gone.

He directly ordered people to bring Xiaolian and the big man who committed the crime up.At the same time, all the people Changsun used on weekdays were detained.

Xie Xin's method of interrogating people was notoriously vicious.Even enemy spies would eventually confess everything under his interrogation, let alone the servants in the inner house.

Not long after the execution, one of the slaves couldn't bear the punishment and told her exactly what Changsun had told her.

Changsun and Wen Jianjia had already been frightened by Xie Xin's methods.

The two of them only knew that Xie Xin was now a popular figure around the new emperor, holding a lot of military power in his hands, and he would definitely have a bright future in the future.But he didn't know that his methods were so cruel.

Wen Jianjia always thought that although her cousin was a military commander, he was as gentle as jade.He never expected that he was actually a living king of hell.

After seeing Xie Xin's methods, Wen Jianjia had completely lost her composure and was only thinking about how to survive from this living king of hell.

After seeing that everyone below had confessed and had no way to quibble, Wen Jianjia immediately knelt down in front of Xie Xin and began to admit her mistake and shirk responsibility.

"Cousin, I was wrong. I shouldn't have listened to Fan Yanran. It was Fan Yanran who encouraged me. She said that after my cousin gets a wife, she will kick my mother and I out. I was also too scared. You would do such a thing only if you are obsessed with it.”

Wen Jianjia began to cry and pretend to be pitiful, "As you know, my father and brother were killed, and now my mother and I are the only ones in the Wen family.

We two weak women have no way to gain a foothold in this world except relying on our cousin.

I was so scared that I couldn't think about it for a while and did something wrong. Please, cousin, please forgive me this time!Do you remember what you said when you were a child?You said you would always protect me.I have never said goodbye, I have been waiting for you to fulfill the promise you made back then.How could you change your mind..."

Xie Xin hurriedly looked at Lu Zhixi's face and explained in a panic: "Zhixi, I was still young at that time, only seven or eight years old. My mother asked me to take care of her. I regarded her as my sister, so I said that."

"You don't need to explain to me." Lu Zhixi said calmly: "Today's matter is not just about you and me. If it only involves you and me, I will help you, but if it involves His Majesty, she must give an explanation."

Xie Xin held her hand nervously and said: "Why do you say such things again? I said, I only regard her as my sister. I didn't know before that she was so vicious. If I knew, I would definitely not I will arrange her at home. Don’t worry, I will definitely deal with her.”

With that said, Xie Xin called someone over and asked them to send all Changsun, Wen Jianjia and others to the mine to perform labor.When Wen Jianjia saw that Xie Xin was worried that Lu Zhixi would misunderstand her, and in order to please her, he would send their mother and daughter to the mines to do hard labor, a look of malice suddenly flashed in Wen Jianjia's eyes.

She pulled off the hairpin on her head, rushed towards Lu Zhixi, and cursed viciously: "Bitch, it's all because of you."

Xie Xin's expression changed drastically, he hugged Lu Zhixi and dodged to the side.At the same time, the secret guard who was hiding in the dark to protect Lu Zhixi drew his sword and stabbed Wen Jianjia.

Wen Jianjia's eyes widened and she fell straight to the ground.

"Jia'er." Mrs. Changsun wailed, and suddenly rushed towards her daughter, "Ooooooo, my daughter... call the doctor quickly..."

Wen Jianjia opened her mouth, but nothing came out, and she died.

Mrs. Changsun held her daughter in her arms and cried loudly. Finally, she pointed at Xie Xin and said, "Xie Xin, you have such a vicious heart! You can't tolerate us, so we can just leave. Why do you want to kill your cousin?"

The secret guard said with a cold face: "She took the first step and wanted to assassinate the princess. She deserved her death and had nothing to do with the general."

"My daughter is just having a tantrum. How can she really assassinate the princess? Have you ever seen someone stab someone with jewelry?"

Changsun pointed at Lu Zhixi and said with a crazy expression, "I think it was your princess who couldn't tolerate her and deliberately instigated you to kill her."

The secret guard said coldly: "Does my princess need to instruct people to kill her? Based on the things you have committed, even if you have ten lives, it is not enough to kill her."

The guards around Xie Xin couldn't see it, and said angrily: "My general just sent you to work in the mines, which is already very gracious. But she is not grateful for the general's kindness, and she actually wants to assassinate the princess. What are you still doing? You are so arrogant and want to blame my general, you are so unreasonable."

"Okay, one by one, you killed my daughter and poured dirty water on her."

Changsun looked at Xie Xin and said with hatred: "I'm going to see your mother right now and tell her how her good son killed his cousin and forced his aunt to death."

After saying that, she stood up and hit her head against the wall.

Xie Xin closed his eyes, but finally said nothing.
