The doctor in Wangxuewu hurriedly squeezed into the crowd with a medicine box, checked Xie Heng's pulse again, tried to wake him up by pinching him, and finally administered a few injections on the spot, but it was all in vain.
"Reporting to Mrs. Madam, the eldest son's heart has been damaged and he has no way to save himself... Please... please show your condolences."
After hearing this sentence of judgment, Qiao Yinzhi could no longer hold back and cried sadly while holding Xie Hengzai's body.
A person who was alive during the day is now dead.
The two people in the crowd looked at each other in confusion. They hadn't found a chance to take action yet, so it wasn't the person they killed.
Mrs. Xie fell down on the chair in grief. She stretched out her hand tremblingly and pointed at Xie Queshan angrily.
"Your elder brother was pissed off to death by you!"
As soon as these words came out, the grieving people in the hall looked at Xie Queshan with indignation. Xie Queshan stood facing everyone's anger, his face still maintaining a calm expression.
He looked at his angry grandmother, and there was a hint of fatigue in his voice: "Is it too hasty for my grandmother to conclude the case like this?"
Seeing that something was wrong, Huang Yankun quickly shouted loudly: "The cause of Mr. Xie's death is unknown, and the assassin still needs to be thoroughly investigated. Those at today's banquet are not allowed to leave until their identities are known."
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers surrounded Xitang.
The panicked crowd didn't pay attention for a moment, but someone was missing in the hall.
——
Nan Yi thought that the Qin family's house was already very big, but it was far less than one-tenth of the size of Wangxuewu.
The courtyards here are next to each other, corridors are stacked on corridors, and there are eaves beyond the eaves. It's like a canyon river with nine twists and turns and 18 deep, with no end in sight.
Escape is always her first choice in life.
She sneaked out of the wedding hall when no one was paying attention when she heard that the eldest son had no way to save his life. She realized that whether it was the husband who died suddenly standing beside her or the living demon Xie Queshan in the hall, Everything she encountered tonight was enough to make her die thousands of times.
She must escape from Xie's house and send the news to Guoyulou. She can't wait any longer.
But this nine-layered courtyard is a huge prison, and those who enter it cannot escape. Nan Yi vaguely realized that she had made a very stupid move, but she did not dare to stop.
Suddenly, Nan Yi, who was panicking, bumped into someone. As soon as she raised her head, Xie Queshan's face bumped into her eyes without warning. Nan Yi was so frightened that she took a few steps back and hurriedly raised the wedding fan in her hand to cover her face.
It suddenly became deadly quiet in the west, and Nan Yi could only hear his own heartbeat that almost jumped to his throat.
She also knew that the action of raising the fan was like hiding something from others, and Xie Queshan must have seen her, but she still had a little luck in her heart. She was wearing heavy makeup today, and she looked a little different from the little beggar she looked like back then - just in case. Well, just in case he didn't recognize it.
Nan Yi saw the pair of boots taking a step towards her, and she could only take a step back timidly. When he stepped forward again, she stepped back again, and then she hit the low railing on the edge of the corridor and almost fell back.
Under the corridor is the lake in the garden, and the moonlight is shadowy in the water.
His hands wrapped around her waist, stopping her from leaning back. The warmth of the palm spread along the fabric to her back, but it made Nan Yi shudder. She was imprisoned in a small space with nowhere to escape.
"Sister-in-law should go to the wake for my eldest brother."
His voice is like the lake water under the corridor, very calm, but you clearly know how cold the lake water must be after being soaked in the cold winter for a long time.
Xie Queshan let go of his hand, and Nan Yi immediately moved a few steps to the side as if running away, still covering his face with the fan. He grabbed her wrist effortlessly and forcefully took off her hand holding the fan. Nan Yi clenched her fists and faced him in a stalemate, but it was all in vain under his overwhelming strength.
The fan was lowered little by little, and her face was clearly visible to him.
Xie Queshan only vaguely remembered that the little beggar had beautiful eyebrows, but he did not expect that the little beggar washed away the dirt and put on beautiful clothes, and he had a bright and charming face.
At this moment, her clear eyes were filled with tears, almost overflowing with panic and fear.
This is the offense and defense of the prey and the hunter, and this happy fan is the shield. But after a long, long time, Xie Queshan recalled this scene and suddenly remembered the meaning of the action of the happy fan.
"Sir, sir, you have recognized the wrong person." Nan Yi stammered to defend himself. But what she said was obviously that there was no three hundred taels of silver here, and she was so nervous that she lost her composure.
"Oh? Who do you think I recognize you as, sister-in-law?"
Nan Yi was left speechless by the question. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She was so nervous that she suddenly hiccupped at an inappropriate time.
His facial features were shaken, and the tears in his eyes finally couldn't help but flow down. Nan Yi was defeated without a fight and was completely routed. No matter how hard-hearted a person is, he should be devastated by this girl's tenderness and pity at this moment, but Xie Queshan remained unmoved.
"Sir, please spare me."
"You suddenly became the Qin family. You are quite capable."
"I was forced too!"
"Who are you?" His tone was aggressive and cruel.
"I, I am indeed the Qin family, but I am just his illegitimate daughter... You asked me to escape. I was afraid of being caught by you, so I went to the Qin family for help when I was desperate. I didn't expect that they tricked me into marrying into the Xie family."
"They have their own daughter, why do they want someone else to marry her?"
Xie Queshan asked questions faster and faster, not giving Nan Yi any room to think, forcing her to answer immediately.
"Their legitimate daughter is pregnant..."
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the corridor on the opposite side of the lake, and the torches in the hands of the soldiers leaped along the corridor like fire dragons.
"There's someone over there!"
Xie Queshan raised his eyes and looked over there. The soldiers would be here soon.
Nan Yi also realized what happened and looked at Xie Queshan even more pitifully.
But he just raised his eyebrows at Nan Yi playfully: "Even if I spare you, others will not spare you."
Xie Queshan looked like he was watching the fire from the other side, and Nan Yi knew that he couldn't count on him. She was even a little annoyed. She thought that if she answered his questions obediently, he would spare her life, but in the end, he was nothing.
Nan Yi glared at Xie Queshan with a look of death, and then with a sudden heart, he turned around and climbed up the railing.
"Husband, I will die for you!"
Nan Yi shouted loudly, then jumped into the water with a splash.
This series of smooth movements happened in the blink of an eye. Even Xie Queshan was a little stunned. Women can really change their faces. One second, they were looking at him pitifully, and the next second, they were blinded to save themselves. Throw yourself into the lake without blinking. He looked at the ripples on the lake expressionlessly, but his expression seemed to relax a little bit.
Immediately afterwards, the calm lake surface was like dumplings, and soldiers, servants, and maids jumped in to save people. The hustle and bustle began to spread from the center of the lake, and the dead Wangxuewu boiled and filled the sky.
