Gu Yun did not ask anything, but Xie Jingxi could not help but heave a sigh of relief, she thought that with his strange personality, seeing her sneaking out of the house, she would definitely feel weird, but she did not even say anything, nor did she give her a weird look, and she even sent her back to the Xie Palace.

Waiting until Xie Jingxi left, Gu Wan asked Gu Yun, "Big brother, quickly tell me, why did you suddenly come here? Don't fool me with your words, could it be that someone is complaining to our family again?"

Gu Yun leaned on the walls of the carriage, his face pale as he laughed, "It's not a complaint, someone said that you were bullied by others in the Imperial Guards, so I came over."

"I was bullied!" "If it wasn't for Jingwan holding me back, I would definitely take care of those grandsons. If I were you, I would say that Zhang Wenshun beat him too lightly. If it was me, his parents wouldn't even recognize me!"

Gu Yun's face showed neither happiness nor anger, "There will be someone to take care of the Zhang Family, it is no longer important if his parents know him or not."

Gu Wan didn't understand the meaning of her big brother's words, and thought to herself, who exactly told the people in the house in advance?

When Xie Jingxi returned to her residence, Ming Yu was already waiting for her. "Miss, you're back.

"I understand. Have you done what I told you to?"

"Don't worry young lady, everything is settled."

Xie Jingxi nodded, changed her clothes and headed to Lady Xu. All of Lady Xu's life was smooth and she had probably never encountered such an anxious and anxious situation. First it was Second Miss, then it was Fourth Brother, and finally there was an upset concubine. This immediately exposed the weakness of Lady Xu.

"Mother, I just went to Gu Sanniang's place. I've already heard about what happened with Fourth Brother. Has father sent any message?"

"You also know your father's temperament, so you also know that he's been raised to go to the justice courts for a long time. We, the Fourth Brother, have always been pampered since childhood, so how could we bear that kind of pain? We didn't commit murder or arson, so we just brought him home to be taught a lesson by closing doors.

She knew that the matter at hand was not simple, so she did not dare to plead with Xie Cen. However, she could not sit still and watch as Fourth Brother went to the justice courts to suffer.

Xie Jingxi could only console her, "Mother, don't worry, father has his troubles, and always has to do things the way he looks, how can I bear to see Fourth Brother suffer. Father always has his limits when it comes to doing things, and it was only because he was forced to do it, Fourth Brother did not beat people to death, so what can the justice courts do, I have never heard of anyone being convicted because of this matter."

The Lady Xu was confused because of hesheconcern. After being advised by Xie Jingxi, she calmed down and barely managed to eat a few mouthfuls of lunch. She stopped sleeping and sat inside the house, waiting for news. It was only until ten o'clock in the evening that they finally received the message. Although Fourth Brother did not enter the Supreme Court, he was still temporarily guarding the court, and would be back in the morning at the latest.

"Has father returned?" Hearing that Fourth Brother was alright for the time being, Xie Jingxi asked again.

"Master is still in the cabinet. He said that the Third Master of the Zhang family accidentally killed someone in the brothel, and someone also handed a paper to the cabinet. He accused Elder Zhang's family of selling officials and selling nobility, and bullied the corrupt and greedy citizens, and Master has already been busy for a long time. Since the emperor is aware of this matter, perhaps Master will stay in the cabinet tonight."

Lady Xu immediately told Li mama to clean up, and also grabbed Manager Xu to ask a few more questions to make sure that Fourth Brother was fine before letting him go. She then pulled Xie Jingxi along and said, "Truly, evil people have their own retribution, the Zhang Family itself is not clean, and our grandson and son came out in a queue to cause trouble, all of these are people from the same school. They don't care about our Fourth Brother anymore, so we didn't know that sending them back for apologies, and when the creases fell into your father's hands, I want to see if he can still sit."

Lady Xu's words could not be said for sure. It was because of Fourth Brother's matter that caused her father to have to avoid suspicion. Since Fourth Brother did not return, she was able to cover everyone's mouths for a while. Knowing that Fourth Brother was fine meant that Xie Jingxi could finally be able to rest at ease. As for Zhang Family, it was something that would happen sooner or later.

The person Third Master of the Zhang Family had beaten to death a nephew of his from a side room in the Lu Family. When he heard that the son of the family had gone through a lot of trouble and got such a precious brother in half his life, he was beaten to death in an easy manner. The people of the Lu Family were naturally unwilling to give up. When the yamen saw that this matter involved all the aristocratic families that could not be offended, they had no choice but to pass the paper money to the justice courts, who would dare to interfere in the matter of Zhang Family, and directly passed the paper money to the cabinet.

This Lu Family was none other than the side chamber of the Ministry of War, which was also the home of Big Sis' wife. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that Zhang Family and Xie Family did indeed have something to do with each other. The entire families that were related to Xie Family had suffered greatly because of this, and now that they saw the matter of Fourth Brother, no one could say that Xie Family was wrong.

After arriving at the side of the night, Fourth Brother and Xie Cen returned to the Xie Clan Residence. As usual, Fourth Brother was subject to punishment and was forced by Xie Cen to kneel at the ancestral hall. Xie Cen did not come back for the entire night, his face was haggard and haggard, the Lady Xu personally helped him wash his hands, and gave him the broth that he had been simmering for half a day, before sitting down and speaking.

"I'm afraid that I'll have to busy myself with the matter of Zhang Family for a while.

"Wherever the old master says it, isn't it all a matter of duty?" Lady Xu passed him a cup of tea, "I heard that one of Lu Family's nephew is gone, do we need someone to take a look?"

It's fine if we go and take a look, but we'll have to wait a few days, this matter has yet to be settled, at this point in time, Grand Commandant Zhang is ruthless, he has actually taken the initiative to request his own son to pay with his life, this caused His Majesty to be unable to bear it, after all, he is an old subject, and from what I see, His Majesty does not plan to pursue the matter regarding Zhang Family, but can't hold people back, the several forces have moved out together, they actually want to make use of this matter, a radish bringing out a pile of mud, how amazing it is!

"There's also the Fang Clan." Xie Cen paused for a moment before continuing, "There's no need to mention the Third Girl for now."

Xie Jingxi was not surprised by this, no matter if it was the Fang family or the Yuan family, they would never ask for her opinion on this matter.

In a courtyard in the outskirts of the capital, Gu Yun was playing chess with an elder.

The old man with the white beard was forced by Gu Yun to the point where there were only a few left, yelling that he wanted to repent. "Hey, hey, you're still young, why aren't you leaving a path for yourself and your wife?"

Gu Yun smiled, with another son, he was able to kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind. The old man then pushed the Go board away, pretending to be stupid.

"I see that you've been quite generous recently. Why are you wasting your time alone? What, do you really want to get married?"

"Ol 'Two already has two. Why can't I just find one? I can't count on my family, I can't just earn some money from my own family business."

"Oh, oh, you're finally enlightened. You've already seen everything. Tell this old man who's family it is, and maybe I can help protect you. Xie Li will save the money to buy a few more years of your kid's life. I just need those jugs of wine that you have hidden."

It was unknown which word pleased Gu Yun, but it was rare for him to not bother with the old man, he only raised the corner of his mouth, "The eight words haven't been exchanged yet."

Xie Jingqi had walked through the gates of hell for a whole month and still couldn't get out of bed. Just as she was about to set off the full moon wine, the Xie Clan started to get busy.

A few days ago, when Big Miss Xie Jingyi came back to the capital, when she came to the Xie Clan, she locked up for a long time with Lady Xu.

"Although second sister is born with difficulties, isn't this fine? She was born with two sons, and she is only a son for two months. She is young, so she will be fine for a few days. Mother, what are you worrying about?"

Lady Xu sighed, "You weren't in front of me, so I didn't know about the dangers at that time, but I thought that I wouldn't be able to protect her. If it wasn't for the Gu family's medicine, you might not have been able to see her anymore.

Xie Jingyi is an experienced person, so she naturally knows what's important here. "Mother, you mean you need to send someone else over to the Marquis Mansion? Didn't second sister bring someone with her? It would be easy for her to carry an aunt. "

"She didn't take any of the people I gave her, and any beauty around her was taken care of by her. How could she have taken the initiative to help Young Master carry an aunt with her temper? But I was only thinking about it, it's not even to that extent."

Xie Jingyi thought for a while, then changed the topic, "I heard that father wanted to tell the Fang family about third sister, but then why didn't he mention it anymore?"

"You haven't been in the capital for a long time. There are some things that you don't know about. The case of Zhang Family, the Fang family is in trouble. Your father told you not to bring it up anymore."

Xie Jingyi paused, "It's actually such a pity."

Xie Jingyi made a trip back to the Xie Clan, walked through all the rooms, and finally entered Xie Jingxi's courtyard. Glancing at the flower that had sprouted on the flower, he smiled at Xie Jingxi who had come over to welcome him: "In the end, this Tree Begonia has not disappointed little sister's painstaking effort."

"That's right. Originally, I thought that I would not be able to survive. However, this tree is the same as humans. There are some things that cannot be determined with certainty."

Xie Jingyi thoughtfully looked at her, and pulled her hand, "A person like little sister, in the future, who knows which lucky family's son will get lucky?"

"In the end, none of them are as fortunate as Big Sister's husband." Xie Jingxi joked, making Xie Jingyi laugh.

When Xie Jingxi entered the palace, Xie Jingyi had already married into a woman, so she was not very familiar with this big sister. Fortunately, big sister Xie Family was the best at managing and was a transparent person, yet she did not have any connections with Xie Jingxi. Xie Jingyi had understood the meaning behind Lady Xu's words earlier, if Second Miss was unable to hold on this time, and planned on marrying Third Sister into the Marquis Mansion as his successor, then Second Miss would be fine now, but if she was unable to raise him in the future, then who knows who would benefit from it? Second Miss was never a good place to win people over, and it was hard to say if she could hold onto her concubines.
