The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 480 The Grand Finale (2)
"Husband, how is it? What news did you find out?" Shen Xuan asked curiously.

"That one was missing this morning. He happened to not go to the palace banquet on August [-]th. When the capital became chaotic at night, he wanted to seize the opportunity to seize the power of the Duke of Zhen, but he didn't expect to come out." There was a mistake, more than a dozen rebels broke into the mansion and robbed him randomly. He was hacked many times, and the knives were critical. Now his injuries are getting worse, and he will die if he can't be cured." Xue Yaoxi said slowly explained.

After listening to Xue Yaoxi's narration, Shen Xuan sighed in her heart and did not comment on it.

"Then husband, shall we go there tomorrow?" Shen Xuan calmed down and asked aloud.

Hearing Shen Xuan's inquiry, Xue Yaoxi was silent, and he was also very confused, not knowing whether he should go or not.

"Husband, why don't we go there, and come back after having a look, no matter what, since we have received the funeral post, let's go there." Understanding the confusion in Xue Yaoxi's heart, Shen Xuan suggested aloud.

Although Xue Yaoxi has severed ties with the Duke of Zhenguo, Shen Xuan knows that he still longs for his family in his heart.During several conversations with Concubine Xue, Shen Xuan was sure that Shizi Xue and Concubine Xue could still get along with each other. Tunnel Shen Xuan also hoped to provide some opportunities for their brothers to get along.At this time, Shen Xuan couldn't predict the next thing, otherwise, I don't know if she would propose to go to Zhen Guogong's mansion?
Hearing Shen Xuan's proposal, Xue Yaoxi pondered for a moment, then agreed with it.

The next day, Shen Xuan and Xue Yaoxi took a carriage to Zhen Guogong's mansion.

Seeing Xue Yaoxi's figure appearing at the gate, the housekeeper of Zhen Guogong's mansion rubbed his eyes with his hands, worried that his old eyes were dim and he had misidentified the person.After confirming again and again that he did not admit his mistake, the housekeeper turned and ran away, rushing to report to Duke Zhen.

Seeing the butler's actions, Shen Xuan turned her head and joked to Xue Yaoxi in a low voice, "My husband is so powerful, he scares people away from me."

"For my husband, thank you for your compliment." Xue Yaoxi replied cheekily.Before Shen Xuan opened her mouth to fight back, she continued to say, "Let's go, it's time for us to go to the mourning hall."

Xue Yaoxi and Shen Xuan went to the mourning hall together, burned three sticks of incense, and were about to leave after thinking about it, but they were blocked by the housekeeper.

"The slave is for the young master. Please greet the young lady. The master knows that the young master is here, so he specially sent the servant to invite the young master to the study." The butler stood there and said hurriedly.

Hearing the housekeeper's words, Shen Xuan and Xue Yaoxi looked at each other, and Shen Xuan obeyed Xue Yaoxi's wishes.Xue Yaoxi didn't want to see Duke Zhen, so he took Shen Xuan and was about to leave.

"Oh, young master, don't go, just listen to the servant. The master is very happy to know that the young master is back. You should go and see the master, young master." Seeing Xue Yaoxi's movements, the butler hissed Cracking Lungs" yelled.

The butler's high-pitched voice attracted some people's attention, and their eyes were fixed on Xue Yaoxi and Shen Xuan.

"Lead the way." Xue Yaoxi stopped and turned to the housekeeper.

"Hey, yes, please, young master." Hearing Xue Yaoxi's order, the butler immediately led the way respectfully.

On the way to the study, I met Concubine Xue Shizi, and Shen Xuan told Xue Yaoxi to let him go to the study.She went to say hello to Princess Xue.

Xue Yaoxi looked at the current situation, and after thinking about it, he agreed, and he followed the housekeeper to Zhen Guogong's study.

Outside the study, Xue Yaoxi relied on his internal strength to hear a few conversations mixed in the quarrel, and accidentally learned some inside information.

"Father, why did the second elder brother disappear suddenly? Did someone in the mansion kill him secretly?" A woman dressed as a young woman in the study asked Duke Zhen Guo loudly.

This woman is Miss Xue Jiale, the younger sister of the second young master and one mother's compatriot. She is married to the third young master from the Lu family in the capital.A few days ago, she went back to the mansion to see her brother, but now he is dead, she does not accept this matter in her heart.Brothers and sisters who are not of the same mother are very suspicious of each other, and Xue Jiale believes that her own brother was killed by other people.

"You bastard, you can say that." Hearing Xue Jiale's question, Duke Zhen scolded angrily.

Regarding Xue Jiale's desire to seize power, Zhen Guogong kept it a secret.So until now, Xue Jiale didn't know that her brother Xue Yaobang deserved to die.

"Why can't my daughter speak anymore? My second brother is gone, and I'm not allowed to speak. I'm going to the yamen to file a complaint." Xue Jiale continued to speak aloud.

Hearing that Xue Jiale was going to the Yamen to file a complaint, Lord Zhen Guo coughed a few times in anger. After recovering, he said in a serious tone, "If you are not afraid of getting involved, you can file a complaint. Your second brother deserves his death, and he and the traitor Wang Qi Wang has contact, you go and sue."

It turned out that Duke Zhen had doubts about the fact that his second son did not attend the palace banquet on August [-]th, so he sent someone to make an adjustment in private.This investigation didn't matter, it was actually found out that the second son Xue Yaobang had a connection with King Qi.

Ordinarily Xue Yaobang should have died a long time ago due to his serious injuries that day, but Lord Zhen was worried that he would attract the attention of some people and bring disaster to Duke Zhen's mansion when he died in the few days when King Qi forced the palace. So Xue Yaobang has been hanging the best ginseng for his life.Now that the new emperor is enthroned, the people of King Qi's faction are almost ready to deal with it, so Lord Zhen dared to let Xue Yaobang die.

Regarding the relationship between Xue Yaobang and the King of Qi, Lord Zhen Guo didn't intend to tell Xue Jiale, but he was worried that Xue Jiale's head would get hot and he would really go to the Yamen to file a complaint, so he had to tell the truth.

"How is it possible? How could the second brother have contact with King Qi?" Hearing Duke Zhen's answer, Xue Jiale murmured a little unacceptably.

"How is it impossible, this is..." Duke Zhen's voice was interrupted by a knock on the door.

After a few clicks, the butler reported through the door, "Master, the young master is here."

The two people in the study stopped their quarrel when they heard the butler's voice.Not long after, Xue Jiale was sent out of the study by Lord Zhen Guo, and then Xue Yaoxi walked into the study.

When Xue Jiale walked out of the study room, he glanced towards the study room and saw Xue Yaoxi's back, with resentment in his eyes.

Seeing the big brother Xue Yaoxi again today, Xue Jiale remembered the scene when her biological mother was dying.Thinking of the death of her own brother today, and thinking that Xue Yaoxi caused all of this, hatred surged in Xue Jiale's heart.

After she got married two years ago, she was busy gaining a foothold in her husband's house, so she didn't have any extra time to take revenge.She can't control so much about the current situation, she only has one thought in her mind: she is having a hard time, and Xue Yaoxi, who caused all this, will not be having a good time either, and she wants to take revenge.
