Chapter 46
Master Xia's expression was still gloomy and gloomy. He turned to look at Xia Ningxi, took a deep breath and asked, "Ning Xi, what do you think we should do when things have gotten to this point?"

There was a chill in Xia Ningxi's heart mixed with a strong backlog of resentment, but she couldn't find an outlet to vent it. She secretly gritted her teeth and pinched her fingers, lowered her eyes slightly, and said calmly: "Since there is no evidence, Ning Xi has nothing to say. But With witnesses, if it is handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, the evidence will definitely be found."

Although Master Xiahou was deeply disappointed with the Zheng family in his heart, it was after all a family matter of the Hou family, and everyone knew that he didn't want to make trouble.

What's more, after 20 years of husband and wife, although Mrs. Zheng has made mistakes, she has always been gentle and generous on the surface. At least, she has been serving him with all her heart and keeping the Hou's house in order. He always has to take care of the relationship between husband and wife.

After thinking for a while, Master Xia Hou stared at Xia Ningxi and said: "This matter is over, there is no need to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. This Marquis ordered Yun Rong to take the [-]-year-old staff and be expelled from the Marquis Mansion. He will never be punished." Goodbye to the people of the Hou Mansion, how do you feel?"

Xia Ningxi still felt that it was hard to get rid of the hatred in her heart, her cold eyes raised slightly, and she snorted softly: "My daughter still feels worthless for my dead mother!"

Lord Xia Hou pondered for a moment, and added: "Put aside all her relationship with the people in the Hou's mansion, including Xia Muyao and Xia Muheng, and we must not see each other again."

Pupils shrank, Xia Ningxi took a deep breath, and finally nodded reluctantly, squinting at Zheng Shi coldly: "Then do it according to Dad's wishes first."

Mrs. Zheng stretched out her hand to grab Master Xia's clothes, waved her arms and cried loudly: "Master Hou, you can't do this to me! You can punish me however you want, and how can you make me never see my children again."

"Mu Heng is the only son of the Marquis, and Mu Yao is also the pride of the Marquis. Do you still want them to leave the Marquis Mansion with you and lose their status as the eldest daughter of the Marquis Mansion and the identity of the eldest son!" Furious, he looked at Zheng Shi with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Xia Muyao knelt down on the ground again, kowtowed and choked with tears, and kept begging: "Father, daughter please, don't drive my mother out of the Hou's mansion. If she leaves the Hou's mansion, how do you want her to live?"

Xia Ningxi sneered, the days ahead were long, and she didn't bother to care about such messy things that couldn't be sorted out.Facing Lord Xia Hou, he bowed slightly and said, "Since the matter has been dealt with, my daughter will leave first."

Master Xiahou waved his sleeves in annoyance, and didn't say much.

Xia Ningxi took a deep breath to concentrate, glanced at Xia Muyao who was still begging, turned around and left the study calmly.

Lord Xiahou was extremely irritable when he heard Xia Muyao's pleading, he kicked away Mrs. Zheng who was prostrate at his feet, and said in a cold tone, "Take the eldest lady back to the room and watch it strictly! Mrs. Zheng made a big mistake, and she will be punished for thirty. This Marquis will personally draft a letter of divorce and drive him out of the Marquis Mansion!"

Mrs. Zheng stared in horror, looking at the back of Master Xia who left with a wave of his sleeves, his eyes darkened, and he passed out completely.

"Mother, mother, don't scare me!" Xia Muyao cried out in panic as she shook Zheng's limp body.

Two servants quickly entered the study room, said "offended", and dragged Xia Muyao back to the boudoir.

Zheng was taken by two other servants to the execution place.

Walking all the way to the corner of the corridor, Lord Xia Hou sighed deeply, raised his hand and rubbed between his brows with a distressed expression.

He never expected that the person he trusted the most by his pillow would do so many wrong things, almost killing his daughter.His original wife died because of being wronged by her design.

Sighing deeply, he turned around and was about to go back to his room. In front of him, Xia Muheng frowned slightly and cupped his hands: "Father."

Master Xia Hou's face turned cold again in an instant, and he glanced at him: "If you come to intercede for your mother, then there is no need."

Xia Muheng was silent, and caught off guard, he lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down, bowing his head and kowtow: "The child does not ask father to forgive mother, but only hopes that father will read the relationship between husband and wife for 20 years and give him a lighter punishment. The so-called mother's debt repayment, if the third sister has a heart Resentment, thirty sticks, the child is willing to bear it for the mother, and begs the father to fulfill it."

Lord Zheng Hou smiled wryly, looked down at his lowered body, and sighed: "She has done many wrong things, the only thing she did right was to give me a pair of sons and daughters that I am proud of. Heng'er, you are a Good boy, you shouldn't have to bear your mother's mistakes."

Xia Muheng still kowtowed persistently: "Father let the child stay in the Marquis Mansion and continue to enjoy the position of the eldest son, the child is already terrified. If the child does not bear the fault of the mother, he will feel uneasy."

"You have been sensible and filial since you were a child, how could father have the heart to let you be punished." Lord Xia Hou sighed deeply, and leaned over to help him.

Xia Muheng shook his head to avoid it, and frowned tightly: "If father refuses to agree, the child can only disobey father's wishes, leave the Hou's mansion, and never come back again."

His back stiffened suddenly, Lord Xiahou looked at him in embarrassment, pondered for a while, and said hesitantly: "Why don't you just spare your mother the stick responsibility?"

"Third sister has suffered a lot of grievances since she was a child, all because of her mother's wrong thoughts. If mother's punishment is spared, Sanmei's side, the child will not be able to face it in the future."

Master Xiahou became more and more embarrassed, took a deep breath, straightened up and looked into the distance, waved his hands, feeling unbearable: "Since you insist on doing this, being a father will fulfill your filial piety."

"Thank you, father, for your success." Xia Muheng kowtowed again, and finally stood up slowly.

Lord Xiahou frowned and looked at him, feeling distressed: "Go!"

Xia Muheng pursed his lips slightly and nodded, cupped his hands, turned and left.

After watching him walk away, Master Xia Hou looked away, and walked down the corridor with a heavy heart towards the courtyard where Sun's family lived in the Hou Mansion during the last period of time.

Back in the room, Xia Ningxi took a long breath and sat down to refill a cup of tea, then shouted into the air: "You Huang."

With a whirl of green light in the room, You Huang stopped gracefully in front of her, joking with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, Xiao Ning'er misses me so much?"

The turbid breath suppressed in her chest finally found an outlet. Xia Ningxi frowned, stared at him, and said in a cold voice, "What's going on? Haven't you been wandering around in the garden? Why did you say good evidence? Will suddenly disappear?"

You Huang raised his eyes to the sky, shook his head helplessly, and said with a tsk: "Isn't it because your second brother said something to that maid, that maid temporarily changed her mind and destroyed the evidence."

A cold light flashed across Xia Ningxi's pupils, she took a deep breath and asked, "Then why didn't you stop it?"

"I'm doing it for your own good. You are a nice second brother. I really can't bear to see you brothers and sisters turn against each other." You Huang raised her eyebrows. Such a reason made Xia Ningxi speechless to refute.

The turbidity in her heart dropped by a dozen and a half in an instant, and her fluctuating emotions calmed down: "The future will be long, and the Zheng family will definitely suffer the consequences. I don't need to kill them all at once. This time, I will treat it as my second brother's face and let it go." Her too."
