When no one was paying attention, Xie Jingxi walked over to the bedside and picked up her brother.

When Big Brother died a long time ago, that ominous chill passed through the swaddling into Xie Jingxi's hands. In her previous life, when Big Brother was not around, Xie Jingxi didn't even have the time to take a glance at her. After that, the dirty water that was splashed all over her head didn't even have the time to differentiate between the two, as her heart was filled with hatred towards these two children.

But now, looking at it again, Xie Jingxi's hatred was no longer focused on the child. It was as Lady Xu had said, a perfectly fine child just disappeared just like that. However, Xie Jingxi did not mind as she quickly checked his abnormal appearance. If one were to say that Xie Jingqi's difficult delivery had been planned by someone, and that anyone could use such a delicate method, then the death of her big brother might very well be difficult to detect.

Furthermore, she had mentioned to Gu Heng before, so he must have already been inspected. If it was a problem that even an expert couldn't figure out, then where should it be? Xie Jingxi slowly pried open her big brother's mouth and looked around. She saw nothing amiss, finally she lifted her big brother's tongue and carefully checked under the tongue, only to realize that a portion of the blood lines had already started to turn black. However, it was not obvious, and if one did not look carefully, they would not be able to notice it.

With her plan in mind, Xie Jingxi wrapped Big Brother up again and quietly handed him over to Xie Jingyi. Xie Jingyi immediately understood her intentions, and while Xie Jingqi was not paying attention, she quickly carried Big Brother out. Right now, she couldn't care if Xie Jingqi became crazy, if his brother did not take care of the grave now, he would rot inside the house.

However, Xie Jingqi had almost pulled Fourth Miss into a bald spot, a few people could not persuade her, and the guards did not dare to use force, so this was the time for Second Young Madam to take matters into her own hands.

Fortunately, Xie Jingqi was using winter pillow, and the pillow had already been spilled. The inside of the pillow was filled with something similar to cotton-wool cassia seeds, which had already covered Fourth Miss's entire head, making him look extremely miserable.

When the people from room two saw this, they nearly fainted. The leader of the group, Xing Family's Zhang Wenfang, said, "W-what's going on? Why's this happening? Don't you guys care? Are you trying to kill us? Come, come, quickly hold Second Young Madam back. How … how are we going to make this happen?" Hurry up and go to your house to call for people to come over! "

She could only assign the little girl to go home and call for help. Lady Zeng was a little overjoyed, so she could only step forward and say, "Brother Feng, you don't have to worry too much about your daughter-in-law. You said that things have happened in Heng'er's room and that everyone is currently grieving over it. Fourth Miss wants to come over and say something bad about provoking her.

Even if Lady Zeng was being tactful, no matter how foolish the Xing Family was, they still knew that she was scolding them for not knowing what was good for him. Of course she knew what her own sister-in-law was like, but in the end, the Xing Family was not a person to be trifled with.

"But no matter what, we can't beat a person to death. Someone has to control the situation. If second young mistress goes crazy like this, you won't stop her. If this gets out …" Not all of our Marquis Mansion's face has been thrown away, pitiful little sister-in-law. If we do something good, how can I explain this to my family? "

Lady Zeng snorted in her heart. No one in the second house considered themselves outsiders, and no one knew who gave them this kind of face. Gu Heng saw that making more trouble was not going to be good, so he went up to hug Xie Jingqi and pulled her away, "Alright, since Big Bro doesn't have anymore, you can't let her go peacefully. You've already beaten her up and scolded her, what's the point in continuing to make trouble like this, we're still young, the children will eventually come back, there's no need to make things difficult for themselves."

Xie Jingqi could no longer hold it back, she laid on Gu Heng's body and cried. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, if they could cry, they would be fine, but Fourth Miss was a sloppy-looking person and had presented herself to solve a difficult problem.

Seeing her own family come over, she cried even more loudly than before, "Sister-in-law, you have to help me take responsibility! Second Young Mistress wants to kill me, quickly call my big brother, Second Brother, and call me Daddy …"

Gu Heng had already carried Xie Jingqi into the house, afraid that if she were to get angry, she would go up and beat him up again. The Lady Xu had also exhausted all of her strength, so Xie Jingxi stayed at the side to take care of them.

Fourth Miss, you can't blame anyone else for this matter, you know what you have said yourself, no matter who it is, you won't be able to take it lying down. The Gu Estate has always been harmonious and peaceful, so don't be so vulgar towards this matter, I admit it, we beat up the person today, and naturally will not deny it.

Xie Jingyi's tone was not loud, but she had completely slapped the Second Branch's face. You are just the Gu Family's Second Branch, don't use any Marquis Mansion to pressure others. The Lu Family was in control of the Ministry of War, and it was unknown how many powers were involved, many people did not even have the time to curry favor, Xie Jingyi's husband was young, and had already went to the northwest to train, if she had military skills, her future would be bright, and forget about the people from the second house, even the people from the Marquis Mansion, they did not dare say that they could not be impolite.

Not to mention that there was a Elder Official Xie behind him, he did not look as noble as them in terms of Marquis Mansion, but if a few families were to be involved, then their power would not be underestimated. Forget about the distance, if the children and grandchildren wanted an assignment, they would have to work under their noses and offend them, but there were no benefits at all.

The Xing Family was about to separate a few words when Second House Master, who had rushed over, interrupted them. Gu Feng was planning to find a job at Ministry of War, so how could he allow his brainless wife to offend someone?

"Hurry up and bring Fourth Miss back to the manor to see a doctor." Gu Feng signaled Xing Family with his eyes. Xing Family immediately shut their mouths and went up to persuade Fourth Miss to return.

When Fourth Miss saw that her brother did not stand up for her, he almost went mad. She was dragged around by someone as she shouted, "What's so great about the Lu Manor? What can the Xie Residence do? Let's wait and see …"

Xie Jingxi felt it was funny, waiting to see who the Crown Prince was, this Fourth Miss was also someone, after getting hold of the Crown Prince, she really thought that the Crown Prince would support her, maybe she used a Marquis Mansion, so he couldn't even remember who the Fourth Miss was.

"Mother, let me help you in." Lady Xu was so angry that she rubbed between her brows, and along with Lady Zeng, they were both pulled into the house. Xie Jingxi and Xie Jingyi stayed behind, the nanny who had just been summoned also arrived.

The wet nurse was originally introduced by Gu Heng's old wet nurse. She was around twenty years old, and looked like an ordinary married woman. When the wet nurse heard that he was going to be summoned to feed his big brother, he was so scared that he almost died once again. When Big Brother had his illness, he was drinking milk, and like usual, she was feeding him milk while coaxing him to sleep. But halfway through feeding him milk, Big Brother refused to drink anymore, and cried very hard, that child was born weak, and had always been very obedient, and had never cried before. The wet nurse first thought that Big Brother did not like drinking her milk, and was even very afraid, because after all, Big Brother Marquis Mansion's wet nurse was a noble person.

However, her entire body was twitching, and she rolled her eyes as she spat out her milk. That kind of look was really scary, and after her brother was gone, that wet nurse was still depressed. In the end, she got sick while drinking her milk, so if word of this got out, she would never be able to enter another mansion again.

That wet nurse was trembling. When she heard that Second Young Madam had been hugging her big brother without letting go, let alone hysterics, she could still call her over to feed the baby. That child hadn't even had a few hours left. How terrifying was that!

Xie Jingxi and Xie Jingyi looked at each other, then Xie Jingyi opened her mouth: "You guys are here to serve Second Young Madam and Big Brother?"

"Madam, we're the only ones here." The one who replied was Xiang Lan, Xie Jingqi's concubine.

"What were you doing last night?"

"Last night, Second Young Madam wanted to eat the honey bird's nest. We were all standing in front of Young Mistress."

Xie Jingxi listened silently. These were common words, there was nothing to ponder about. Her gaze rested on the still shivering wet nurse, "I heard that Big Brother contracted his disease while drinking milk?"

When the wet nurse heard this, she immediately kneeled down. "Third Miss is enlightened, I was just feeding you milk as usual, who knows … "It really has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything …"

"Tell me about your son's illness."

Xie Jingxi did not interrupt her, and allowed her to speak slowly, then asked: "Big brother's entire body is twitching, is there any coldness in his body, and when the whites of his eyes flipped up, do you see any traces of blood?"

The wet nurse was stunned for a moment, "Yes, if Third Miss had not said it, I would have forgotten. At that time, when my brother was having a convulsion, I thought it was because he was having a fever, but it felt like I was touching an icy cold place, at that time I was so scared that I couldn't even think about whether my body was warm or cold, I can only vaguely remember, I was startled for a moment, and then hurriedly called for someone, if it was deep red blood, I was actually scared to the point that I did not dare, I glanced at it, as if there were some children there, I thought that ordinary people are like that, and did not take it to heart, and after a while my brother did not flip over again after a while."

Xie Jingxi nodded, she already had a plan in mind, and hearing it, Xie Jingyi could not help but ask: "Third sister, did you find anything wrong?"
