The heart-nourishing hall had already become an estate owned by the Wei Guogong, so Xi Jiu Er turned over the dowry Wei Xi Er had given him. Previously, the ex-sister-in-law was suspicious, but when she found out that Xi Hong Sheng was going to be beheaded and the treasury handed over to the public, she came back to check.
"ex-sister-in-law." Xi Jiu Er just so happened to run into ex-sister-in-law resting.
Hearing Xi Jiu Er's voice, the ex-sister-in-law stood up, and Xi Jiu Er immediately held her body back as she laughed: "If you're tired, then just lie down. For this shop to require you to take care of it in one day, it's more than enough."
"I don't think it's hard work." ex-sister-in-law rubbed her glabella, trying her best to stay alert.
"Liu Xiang, give me the thing."
Liu Xiang retrieved a small and exquisite embroidered box from her bosom and handed it over to ex-sister-in-law. The ex-sister-in-law's tiredness immediately disappeared without a trace and she held onto the embroidered box … Could it be … Could it be? Now that the Xi Family was destroyed, was it time to fulfill the promise she had made with his?
"This is a type of priming medicine. It has no color and no smell and will not be detected by others. It will be related to the insect in that person's body. As long as it smells the priming medicine in your body, it will die. We won't let anyone find out for a while, so you can rest assured. " Xi Jiu Er said with a solemn face, "I will do what I promised you."
ex-sister-in-law's hands were trembling as her breathing quickened. After a long while, she calmed down and put the medicine into her pocket, "Thank you, Princess. If there is a next life, I will definitely be your saddle for you."
She wanted him to avenge her, and he needed a good hand in management. Xi Jiu Er said indifferently: "When the time is ripe, I will think of a way for you to enter the palace. You better take care of yourself."
Her long skirt swayed, and suddenly, the ex-sister-in-law raised her voice and said: "Princess, please wait, please accept this servant's bow."
"ex-sister-in-law, quickly get up." When Xi Jiu Er turned around, ex-sister-in-law had already gotten off the bed and kowtowed with a "dong" sound. How could Xi Jiu Er support him?
Three solid kowtows, ex-sister-in-law finally stood up, her forehead was already swollen.
Liu Xiang immediately went to find medicine, and Xi Jiu Er chided: "What are you doing? This is what I should do. "
"Hehe …" "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have had a chance for revenge …" ex-sister-in-law held the embroidered box tightly in her hand to her chest, as if she was receiving some kind of comfort.
After leaving the heart-nourishing hall, Xi Jiu Er planned to return to the Duke's Palace, but when she found out that the Xi Family had been captured, she was slightly shocked. She cursed inwardly to herself that Chun Hua was still in the capital even after spending so much effort? If it wasn't seeking death, what else could it be?
Escape? Escaping what? It was only when Xi Jiu Er asked more details that she realized Chun Hua had killed someone! So it turns out that when Chun Hua was carrying the silver and running, she was caught by the sharp eyed people, Chun Hua accidentally killed him, and this scene just happened to be witnessed by someone. Chun Hua had ran for her life the whole night in order to not take responsibility.
Now, First Lady gave the same surname to the balding boss and took his life. First Lady was imprisoned. The Wang family's people had already cut off all connections with the 'First Lady'. They all said that their daughter was just spilled water that couldn't be taken back, that the Xi Family was gone overnight, they didn't want the Wang family to suffer too.
"Princess, she won't give us up right …" Liu Xiang asked worriedly.
Xi Jiu Er was also worried about this happening. With a slight frown, she said lightly: "Let's go."
Xi Wan Feng was not the only one who killed Miss Zheng and Yun Qing. The Zhong Family was like a merchant, Zhong Tang Jun had let the Zhong Family go bankrupt this time, the Zhong Family lost his official position, the Mrs. Zhong was currently holed up in her mother's house, eating a meal that was hard to swallow, sleeping on a hard bed … Due to the change in her mother's family, Zhong Yue He's life in her husband's house was worse than a maid's … All of this was because of Xi Wan Feng.
But Xi Wan Feng? After being locked up, he was brought back to the Prince Xian's Mansion, and there was no follow-up.
In just a few short days, Master Zhong was completely dispirited. Mrs. Zhong bit his lips and the venomous aura in his eyes made others cowardly look at his. She hated his, hated Xi Family, and hated Xi Wan Feng even more! It must be Xi Wan Feng who hooked his own son, how could Zhong Tang Jun lose his mind and cause such a disaster? It was already too late to say anything, since she didn't have much to live for now. Before she died, he would have to find someone to carry his behind.
"Madame …" The mother came to ask for medicine, "Drink the medicine."
After the Mrs. Zhong finished his medicine, he said with a gloomy face: "I have something that I want you to do. You must do it well."
Mother had a bad premonition, Mrs. Zhong felt like he was finishing the last thing in his life, and his heart tensed up: "Madame, even if this old servant dies, I will take care of this matter well."
"Good, good. Come with me, I have something for you to do. " The corners of Mrs. Zhong's mouth curled up as he revealed a sinister smile of vengeance.
Prince Xian's Mansion, when Xi Wan Feng heard the news that Xi Hong Sheng was about to be beheaded, only after a while did he regain his senses, only to hear a loud sound. Xi Wan Feng quickly turned his head, and his heart shrunk.
"Your … Your Highness …" Xi Wan Feng's expression changed, he unconsciously retreated, and forced out a smile: "I've already pretty much finished preparing the medicine you want, in a few more days it will be ready."
"Hmph." Prince Xian landed and slowly said, "I believe you already know what happened outside. Your father will be beheading tomorrow, so do you want to see him off?"
The hatred in Xi Wan Feng's eyes flashed past, the entire capital knew what she had done. The reason why Xi Family had lost to her was all because of her.
She couldn't stand being scolded by thousands of people while pointing at her back. Moreover, did she even have father-daughter relationship with Xi Hong Sheng? Because of Xi Jiu Er, she was not favoured in the Xi Mansion, and had fallen to such a state. Even as a father, Xi Hong Sheng, she must not shirk her responsibilities.
"I'll send you over tomorrow to take a look." Prince Xian smiled, got up and left.
Jiyaa! The house was locked again. Xi Wan Feng bit her lips as blood gushed out from her mouth. Slowly, she turned her gaze to the medicine bottle at the side. She had already made that medicine a long time ago, so she was waiting for a chance to let the Prince Xian take it again. After so long, she couldn't wait any longer … Perhaps, this was a good way to take Xi Jiu Er's life.
"If only one more type of medicine was added, Xi Jiu Er's life would be lost …" Xi Wan Feng opened her mouth, her small, pale face twisted so badly that her original appearance could no longer be seen.
Xi Jiu Er only felt that her body was swaying as she sat on the carriage. All these years of vigilance caused her to be instantly shocked, her hands formed a motion to sweep the empty area, only to hear a woman's voice saying: "Sigh, I don't know when I will arrive." The voice was somewhat lazy, and after asking the question, it immediately gave people a shock.
Xi Jiu Er suddenly opened her eyes. A pair of eyes that were filled with fatigue looked extremely similar to her. Even though Xi Jiu Er was already used to being calm and collected, she took a step back in fear. A female servant sat behind him, and her body passed through him, shocking him yet again.
"Madame, there's a person outside who's injured …" The voice of the driver.
Xi Jiu Er was still in a daze, she then saw Wei Xi Er lift up the curtain to take a look, she did not know what she was thinking, but she touched her lower abdomen and hesitated: "Let's see if she is still alive, if she is, then we can save her."
"Yes." The coachman replied.
The servant girl said worriedly: "Madame, that's not good. We are all women, what if we meet an evil person?"
"It's alright, I can't just ignore such a thing. I want my child in my womb to be virtuous and do good deeds." Wei Xi Er said indifferently.
"Madame... "He, he's about to die …" The coachman said.
Wei Xi Er and the servant got off the carriage and looked, while Xi Jiu Er followed behind them. This was a rather remote mountain road that very few people passed.
"Cough …" The dying man on the side of the road was already breathing more and breathing less. Xi Jiu Er saw that he dressed like an ordinary person without a doubt. What was suspicious was that the robe looked like a night attire.
Suddenly, no one expected the dying man to suddenly grab Wei Xi Er, pull out something from his chest, give it to her with all his might, and say: "Wh … Something... "Hand it over!" Before he could finish, he tilted his head and breathed his last.
No one knew what was in the package, but Wei Xi Er had no choice but to keep it, and left after saying a few words to the man.
"Madame, what is inside?" The maidservant asked curiously.
Wei Xi Er frowned, and shook her head: "It's better to pretend to not know about other people's things!"
Noticing her hand intentionally or unintentionally rubbing against the bag, Xi Jiu Er speculated about what exactly this thing was …
Xi Mansion... Once Wei Xi Er went back, she rested immediately and carefully placed the thing inside her own box. Box... It was the jewelry box that Xi Jiu Er had found.
Deep into the night, Xi Hong Sheng came over and asked, "I heard from the carriage driver that something happened to you two today?"
"Hehe, it's nothing. It's just a small matter." Wei Xi Er's expression was light, as though she did not want to bring up this matter.
Xi Jiu Er squinted, there was something that Xi Hong Sheng did not know about in this huge Xi Mansion. Seeing mother's indifferent attitude, it seemed like the relationship between the two wasn't that good …
"I heard he gave you something. Give it to me, let me take a look." Xi Hong Sheng anxiously said, the greed in her eyes could not be hidden even if she had to hide it well, and she understood what was going on.
Perhaps marrying a chicken and following a dog was like marrying a chicken and following a dog. Since they were already married and now they had children, so what if they found out that he wasn't a good person? He couldn't possibly cancel the engagement, right?
The disgust flashed past Wei Xi Er's eyes, and she said indifferently: "It's in my makeup box."
As if he had noticed the change in his wife, Xi Hong Sheng coughed and said, "Don't take it to heart. I'm just worried that it might be an ominous thing. These words made Wei Xi Er feel more comfortable, he recalled that the man was indeed suspicious, and nodded: "Look, if it's something bad, then throw it away."
"Right." Xi Hong Sheng took it over and opened it, his expression changed greatly. He took a deep breath when he saw the same thing with Xi Jiu Er: Imperial Jade Seal! Xi Hong Sheng was a greedy man. No, any man was greedy. This was a type of nature, only after Xi Hong Sheng married Wei Xi Er would his career gradually improve, the Imperial Jade Seal was an unbearably enticing gift to him. Xi Hong Sheng's expression changed a few times, when a voice suddenly sounded from beside him: "What's wrong? Look at your face... "This …"
Before Wei Xi Er even had the chance to look clearly, she saw Xi Hong Sheng frantically stashing away, excitement, fear, greed, lost, and other expressions all appearing on his face, all twisted to the point that Wei Xi Er was startled. Wei Xi Er only looked at the rough outline: "What, what is this thing?"
"Nothing, don't worry about it." Xi Hong Sheng picked up the thing and ran off in panic. There were only two people in the room, Wei Xi Er's face was filled with suspicions, could it be that this was really something ominous? His heart was filled with fear and unease. Not long after, Xi Hong Sheng appeared again, her face displaying an abnormal red color.
"Did you see what that was just now?" Xi Hong Sheng asked.
Something was not right, something was not right! Xi Hong Sheng's expression was strange.
"It seems to be some kind of jade …" Wei Xi Er recalled, and did not notice the killing intent in Xi Hong Sheng's eyes.
"Is that so? Today, I saw it, heard it, pretended that nothing had happened, and didn't want anyone to mention it, okay? "Otherwise, we're going to suffer …" Xi Hong Sheng's eyes were wide open, he was extremely frightened by his appearance, and nodded: "I understand."
Xi Hong Sheng did not seem to be at ease. When he left, the killing intent in his eyes had not disappeared. Xi Jiu Er suddenly realised, the death of mother was also related to him, if he did not turn a blind eye, would a trash like First Lady dare to scheme against her only daughter? She's not living anymore? There must be a concealment from Xi Hong Sheng!
Hehe … Fortunately she did not forget about Xi Hong Sheng, and thought that she was extremely foolish when she thought about how she had planned to let him go because he was her father. Now that he understood this, he understood many things. Why Xi Hong Sheng wanted the two sisters Xi Wan Feng to enter the palace, he had his own plans.
It was a pity, however, that the one foot tall devil was ten feet tall, how could Xi Hong Sheng even compare to the members of the Ji Tian Clan?
