Ningcheng Hou Mansion.
Shen Zhixi didn't see Fang Rou when she got up early.
I searched both inside and outside the courtyard, but there was no sign of her. The secret guard guarding the courtyard said that Fang Rou had never stepped out of the courtyard.
Moreover, spies outside also sent news early in the morning that after the old general Song Yijue led his troops out of the city, Song Lianzhou was summoned to the palace by an imperial edict.
General Song was transferred away, and the emperor would definitely deal with Song Lianzhou.
This Fang Rou had another accident, how could she not be anxious.
She searched almost every room in Shi Xingyuan, including the firewood shed. The folk prescription Rou seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Returning to the main courtyard, I happened to see Xie Muyun coming in from outside.
The two looked at each other and she understood immediately.
"I really underestimated Mr. Hou. I really admire Mr. Hou's methods." Shen Zhixi had a sneer on her face, but her eyes were not full of hatred. There was something more that she couldn't explain. .
He could take Fang Rou away from Shi Xingyuan silently, and he could also secretly take her and Wan Ying away.
But he didn't, why didn't he?
During the time they lived in Shi Xingyuan, he obviously had many opportunities.
Xie Muyun raised his thick eyebrows, lowered his eyes and replied calmly: "You can send the child out of the city quietly, of course I have my own way."
"Then what's your purpose of taking Fang Rou away?"
Xie Muyun turned his head to the side and didn't look at her. He didn't know what his emotions were in his heart. He just said, "Jing Shi and Jing An were taken away."
Hearing this, Shen Zhixi lowered his eyebrows and smiled.
Xie Muyun was ordered to lead a search throughout the city for the whereabouts of Qi Yuan and the princess last night, so Mr. Xie probably took advantage of this opportunity to take them away.
"Master Marquis wants to exchange me for your children."
"You have to come with me." Xie Muyun said for the first time without turning around.
Shen Zhixi was calm and decisive, and said decisively, "Okay, I'll follow you."
Seeing how happy she was, Xie Muyun turned around and opened his mouth as if to say something, but the result was that his throat was blocked for a long time and no sound came out.
In the end, there is only one sentence.
"All cause and effect, including everything you want to know, will be revealed soon."
*
The boundless Taoist temple.
There were two Taoist priests guarding the door in the west courtyard, and the door was also locked.
It was quiet outside the hospital, but the room was filled with fierce questioning.
The two Taoist priests looked back at each other, both showing impatience.
"I don't believe it. Mother, you lied to me. It's all fake. I don't believe it."
In the room, Xie Jingshi's face was pale, but his eyes were red. Perhaps it was because the drug had not worn off yet. He still seemed a little unsteady, half-bent, and unable to stand.
Behind him was Xie Jing'an, who was sitting on the ground as if stunned.
The person facing Xie Jingshi was Mrs. Hou Zhuang Yulan.
Not only were Zhuang Yulan's eyes red, but her face was filled with tears. Once the secrets that had been buried for more than ten years were dug out, she thought she could face these things calmly, but it really hit her beloved. In front of the children, she was still trembling uncontrollably because she felt guilty.
"You don't believe it? Then tell me, why did I agree to the matter between you and Fang Rou?"
"I……"
Xie Jingshi was stunned. His mother agreed to let him marry Fang Rou. He was naturally happy, but when he thought about it carefully, he was still extremely surprised.
His mother didn't just agree because she couldn't resist him, but she agreed to him right away.
"She is just a domestic slave who sold herself to the Shen family. No matter how she is worthy of you, you are worthy of being the legitimate son of the marquis, even the princess and princess. But you... If I had known that the Xie family had this I will not marry him or have children with him because he is a disease that will destroy his children and grandchildren. I will ruin your and Jing'an's life in vain!"
Zhuang Yulan stretched out her hands and walked forward, but Xie Jingshi shook his head and stepped back.
"Jingshi, it's your mother who can't help you. She gave birth to you, but she also caused you to live in pain and torture for decades to come. It's all because of your mother's fault, so she can only do her best to make up for and satisfy you. What’s more, besides, Fang Rou already has a son. The child is still young and doesn’t remember much, so you can treat him as your own child and raise him well. In the future, you will have a child to take care of, and it will save her money in the future. Going through the pain of childbirth again.”
Xie Jingshi chuckled with a sad smile.
He understood what his mother meant. His mother meant that he did not need to have any more children after he and Fang Rou were together, lest the children would suffer the same pain when they grow up.
"Then, what about father?" Xie Jingshi asked again with tears in his eyes.
Didn't his father ever think that he would suffer after giving birth to him?
"Your father only found out about this after Jing'an was born. Before Jing'an was one month old, your grandfather sent someone to secretly cut his blood. Your father discovered it and after questioning him severely, he learned about this disease inherited from the Xie family. .”
"Then he..."
"No, your father has never used medicine made from the blood of his relatives. Every time he gets sick, he only relies on taking some painkillers. Your father has also worked hard to protect you all these years, and because of this, he cannot be trusted by your grandfather. If it weren't for you two Your uncle is too talented to hold the position of Marquis. Your father has long since..."
Just as he was talking, the sound of unlocking suddenly sounded outside.
Xie Jing'an, who was paralyzed on the ground, finally reacted, his face turned pale, and he crawled behind Zhuang Yulan and the others.
Xie Zhang tied her here just to take her blood.
The person who opened the door and came in was none other than their grandfather, the old Marquis Xie Zhang.
There was no hair on his head, white hair hanging sparsely, and his face was haggard and inhuman, like a corpse.
"Pull her away." Xie Zhang pointed at Zhuang Yulan and ordered to the person behind him.
"Xie Zhang!" Zhuang Yulan knelt down and hugged Xie Jing'an tightly, "You will have retribution!"
Xie Zhang didn't take it seriously and waved his hand again to hurry up.
"I don't know if I have retribution, but I know that your retribution will come soon. I only tied up two of them. If you insist on chasing me and singing against me, don't blame me for being rude. Everyone in the clan My daughter is the only one who has never used Jing'an's blood in medicine, and she has not mastered it after all these years. Maybe it is Jing'an's blood that is the difference. Originally, she was a little afraid of the incompetent Xie Muyun, and was afraid that he would break the pot. After breaking the news, he gradually developed some power of his own over the years. But now, everything is almost over."
He had no expression at all when he spoke, and was as cruel and cold as ice.
Xie Jingshi blocked Zhuang Yulan and Xie Jing'an behind him. He was carefully raised by Zhuang Yulan and was well-educated in both civil and military skills.
It was no problem to fight off a few Taoist priests, but the intoxication in his body had not passed. After moving a few times, his head began to feel dizzy again. When he knocked the two little Taoist priests to the ground, he himself staggered and put his hands on the floor sheet. Kneel down.
Seeing this, Xie Zhang was really unhappy.
"Xie Muyun is incompetent, and so are you. People like you are not worthy of being descendants of my Xie family. Anyone who stands in my way will die, even my own sons and grandsons."
